Aftermath (our tragic story)

5. Date

A week passed since I let Timothy court me and I can finally build my trust again because he is also helping me do it. I am not alone battling with my own trust. Thanks to him!

"You've been distracted this past few days, what is up with your rush last week?" Rays asked while we are having our lunch break.

"Maybe she already has a boyfriend..." Cody said. We are all together having lunch together and talking about JM's upcoming wedding.

"She can't trust people yet. Let her heal." Nathan said. I smiled and eat my lunch.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Rays hold my hand under the table and look at me closely. "Tell us or tell me."

"Ah, actually... I am... dating someone already." I said loudly to the group. I can see their smile and happiness. "But don't worry we both working on my trust."

"And who is this lucky guy?" Kyle asked. I gave Rays a glance and take a deep breath."

"It's Timothy Park, the model performer." I awkwardly smile when I saw their shocked reaction.

"Yeah. Tim, my cousin." Alex said. They became cousins because their dad is siblings and they are also both Park. "You are in good hands, Lays." We all smiled and laughed and continued eating our lunch.

It's a relief now that I have already told it to them and I have now the assurance that they will not be sad because they're all worried about me. after our lunch, we go back to our classrooms to get back in the study.

"Here's an example of a model... Timothy Park, half Korean, and his mom is Fil-Am." My eyes widened when I saw Tim as my professor's example. "Many companies and entertainments want this man. And by the way ladies, he is still single."

"Not anymore." Rays whispered behind my back but my seatmate heard it.

"Prof, Railey said he is not single anymore." my seatmate said and I looked at Rays with her lips tucked.

"Do you know Timothy, personally? You're not even his fan nor follower." his fangirl said while our professor is watching them argue.

"I am. Check it if you want." I saw Rays smirk. Our block mate put her phone out and checked Instagram.

"Wait... No." My eyes widened and got worried about his reaction. "Timothy Park is following Railey, Alex, and... LA. What happened to the others?" 

"Okay, that is enough." After that, I hide my face from the whole class because I don't want to let them know for a while that I am dating Tim. we continue discussing our lesson but still, I can see Jade the fangirl in her embarrassment.

After our class, I saw a crowd on our field. And I heard Tim is here. I try to avoid the crowd but as the second pass by the crowd is getting bigger. I hold Rays hand and Rays got my message to pull me out of the crowd.
