Please don't chase me

Maybe the warm feelings can come back...

A week has passed with Yana relentlessly annoying Luka. Each break, she went to find him, for lunch she cooked for him with Luka actually eating it, secretly thinking that she was indeed able to improve.

However, since that time in the karaoke bar, Luka has refused to go out after uni again. On the weekends, Yana had to work and thus left Luka alone but told him he could come. Of course, he didn't show up.

The research project started to come along. Luka has modified the topic and Yana helped where she could. During the process, the professor was heavily involved. Yana sourly thought that the professor's involvement was more beneficial than her presence but obviously she couldn't say that out loud or else the professor would catch on quickly she didn't even want to do the project.

"Luka~" during lunch, Yana found him outside on the bench again, bathing in the sun.

"You really like being in the sun, hm," despite the fact Luka was always outside, he was barely tanned, "Could it be you want to get tanned but can't?"

Luka was long used to Yana's bluntness. He opened his eyes and blinked. The blue mixed with the golden rays and Yana's breath was taken away for a second as he looked at her through half-lidded eyes, "You have food for me again?"

Yana was so mesmerised she didn't recover quickly enough.

"Yana?"

Suddenly Luka got worried seeing her agape expression and got closer to her. His hair tickled her nose and his breath hit her neck, "Yana are you alright?"

Now noticing the closeness, Yana backed off and only nodded. Luka was too strange today. He was too nice.

"The food?"

Yana regained her senses and cheekily grinned, "Oh my, I didn't know you enjoy my foo-"

"I don't, the sooner you give it to me, the sooner you disappear, right?" Luka glanced at her and had to hold back his laughter seeing her 'I'm-so-done-with-you' expression. Yana had her hopes up too early. Indeed, Luka was after all a jerk, what did she expect?

"Let's go?"

"Where?" Luka knew she was up to something again.

"Eat lunch, you can't be by yourself all the time. The guys from karaoke are eager to see you, they had fun with you. Isn't that great?" Yana's cheeky smile was brighter than the sun and Luka agreed which even stunned him.

"What, so easily?"

"If I don't go, your reputation will be damaged," Luka said as a matter of fact.

"You think you're so important, huh," Yana rolled her eyes but giggled.

She marched in front of Luka and her long hair swayed to the left and right with her movements.

Luka kept his eyes on her back, a small smile gracing his lips until they entered the cafeteria.

Yana was already used to the gossip surrounding them, it didn't faze her and Luka equally didn't care much.

"Over here!" The guys from the karaoke waved Yana and Luka to the table. Yana sat next to Mia while Luka sat opposite to Yana next to the guy.

Mia, however, didn't seem too happy about Luka's presence, "Your lapdog finally came? Tamed him now?" Mia threw her hair back and glared at Luka.

Because of him, Yana spent less time with her. All Yana did was circle around Luka. What was so good about him? How could he compare to Mia?

Luka only briefly looked at Mia, giving her the same cold treatment Yana initially received.
