[BL] Lick Me Up If You Can (Book 1)

Chapter 132

The season passed quickly. The morning and evening air felt chilly, but the sun quickly set and it was New Year's Day. One by one, I heard that my classmates were accepted into college.

While everyone was busy preparing for college, Koiman quietly went back and forth between the hospital and school. His father was often hospitalized, but the good news was that his father had gone bankrupt a long time ago, and their economic level was close to extreme poverty, so there were no medical expenses.

Koy stayed up late in his father's hospital room, then returned to his motor home and fell asleep alone. There wasn't a particularly friendly conversation going on. But it was definitely different than before.

They didn't have enough time left to overcome the more than 10 years since their older brother died and their mother left. They both knew it but didn't bother to say it. Instead, they spent the remaining time chatting and trying to get a little closer. And that was enough.

"Koy!"

Ariel shouted at Koi, who was just passing by. As he was about to ride her bike, he stopped and waited for Ariel to approach.

"Where? Hospital again?"

"huh."

Koi nodded obediently. His friends found out that his father was hospitalized. Ariel asked, her brow furrowed with a serious look on her face.

"Are you really not going to college? "They said you didn't even submit a single application."

She and Bill were supposed to go to state college. Koi once wanted it desperately, but it ended up becoming a dream.

"You can't go to college and leave your father behind."

You never know what might happen while you're in the dormitory. Above all, it was Koi's responsibility to drive his father to the hospital from time to time.

"It's okay because I'm looking for a job. You can go to community college first and then go on to a 4-year university... ... ."

"ha... ... ."

Ariel let out a long sigh. Koi has already confirmed this reaction several times. Since it was something that could not be helped, Koi smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Then Al, I'll go first."

"Ah, Koi."

Ariel asked Koi, who was about to head to the spot where he parked his bike, to stop him again.

"Have you heard any news about Ash?"

"uh? ... ... no."

"... ... I see."

When Koi shook his head, Ariel lowered her head as if disappointed. Koi awkwardly waved her greeting and left the place. After that day, Ashley was never seen again. All she heard was that she had gone east.

Koi busily moved his body so that regrets did not have time to occupy his mind. And it was one day after spring, before her graduation, that he heard the news about Ashley.

"Ash is coming to the prom?"

One of the guys on the ice hockey team who was eating lunch together shouted at the sound out of nowhere. Koi also put down the sandwich he was eating and looked at Bill with wide eyes. Bill, who told her the great news, nodded and continued.

"I also managed to get on the phone yesterday, so I just asked and he said he would come. "I told you to do it because you said you were attending an after-party."

"Uh, so Bill, you're coming to my house?"

"okay. "It's been a while since I last saw that kid's face. How have you been?"
