"Vine, let's go!"

RISS AND I decided to go to the mall right after today's class. I refused at first, because Mist will be waiting for me after school. But I got a text from him saying he got something to do for today.

Planning on not telling Riss about it, but still discovered.

"Do you have something you want to buy?" I asked while we leading our way in the hallway. I don't have any choice but to go with him.

"There's a video game I wanted to check out." He looks excited. "And I also want to buy some figures for my collection."

What can I expect for a 19 year old guy?

"What about you? You agreed to tag along with me. You must've something you wanted to buy as well." He asked.

I was forced though. "Nothing. I'm saving money." And he knows it.

"Eh? But you've been working on the bar, haven't you."

Well, it's been two months and half now since I start working for Uncle. The salary was quite excessive that I've thought that he was just being considerate. Though I not complaining or something.

It was really a great help for me. I can budget my expenses without any hassles from now.

"Don't be too harsh on yourself, Vine. Learn to enjoy your life even just for a moment." Riss added. I saw him smiling while saying those words. He looks proud.

Enjoy, huh. That's pretty hard, Riss.

We decided to take a train. It's alot easier and can save some money as well.

There's alot of people inside. It's pretty normal considering the time.

"...Vine." After some minutes of silence from Riss, he called me again.

"Yeah?" Both of us were standing.

"Jeihan.. He's not bothering you anymore, is he?"

It's kinda surprising to hear him opening up something about that guy.

Well, I didn't say anything or even telling anyone about that day. And there's no way I'll say a thing about it.

Now that he mentioned him, I haven't seen that guy since then. Maybe because I'm being carefully this past few weeks. Well, I'm glad either way.

"I've always with you all this time. So you tell it." I'm not letting myself involved to anything by those time. I was always with Riss.

"Right?" He chuckled. "Don't worry, he won't bother you if I'm here. So always stick yourself to me, you hear it?" He's acting like my big bro now.

Riss already said it before, still, I can help but to get curious about happened between them. But I won't ask him anymore about it.

"Well, I just can't understand why'd he thought about you being an Omega. I mean, you look pretty, but Omegas were kinda.. cute. Oh! It's not like you're not cute or something! Its just that, uhm, how can I say it..?" He panicked.

My face crumpled. Cute?

'You're adorable.'

I shook my head. I am not.

"He must be out of his mind." I just answered.

"Right?!" He was relieved. "We're Betas after all."

My chest tighten up a bit. I just smiled to hide that feeling. "... Right."

I've been deceiving a lot of people, even before. And doing it to a friend this time, is fine for me.

Everything, will be fine.
