I said I'm on one, fuck it, I'm on one, a strong one

"I'm not... I... I'm not sure..."

"Girl, what do you mean you're not sure" Candace rolled her eyes before leaning back on the soft white matress of your.

"I mean, Cyno.... He's literally perfect, and I haven't seen the other sides of him. A good student, you say?" You smiled at the thought of the white head man.

Dehya chuckled before chugging the glass of champagne. She put down her phone then took a glance at you while doing a mild 'tsk' from her mouth. "I told you, he may be the silent type, mysterious, intimidating, or whatever, but we know him so well just to confirm that he is highly head over heels for you."

You bit your lip before looking at Cyno's painting displayed at the wall. Thinking of how cute the guy is, you chuckled alone. The two girls with you noticed it and just gave each other a smile of fondness. You're falling so fast, and you you couldn't find a way to stop.

"It's clear that he likes me, but isn't it so fast? We literally met three days ago?"

"He's really determined even if you avoided." Dehya rolled her eyes before picking her phone up. "Plus, love isn't defined by time. You can wait or not, yet it'll find its way to you. I can clearly see that you're wrapping around his finger."

You took a stance and faced Dehya with unbelied on your face. "Is it that obvious?". Both Candace and Dehya nodded making you slump down to your gaming chair.

"(Y/N), it's pretty obvious that you're thinking twice because of how fast you're moving, but give it a thought. You're bound to Fontaine soon and you may or may not see Cyno again, live out your life." Your brunette friend shrugged.

Candance nodded before lifting her upper body up. "I agree with Dehya. Don't let time stop you for chasing your heart."

You covered your face with your hands. Your friends are right, you've never experienced falling in love and this is the first. Considering that Sumeru is just for your summer days, you want to spend it wisely.

Additionally, being a hopeless romantic, all these feelings were new and yet they feel so good. No one has ever made you feel in love more than Cyno. In those 3 days, he managed to already pull some strings. What more in the following days?

"Thank you, guys. You're the best."

Cyno was a tad-bit surprised seeing you walking your way to him at Puspa Cafe. It was a pleasant and peaceful morning for him. Without thinking, he sat by the corner of the café to list some ways he could take you on a date, however, it didn't occur to him that you'll be appearing just before him.

"Hi, Cyno!" You smiled with a big grin at the white head man, who avoided your gaze and gulped.

"G...good Morning to you, (Y/N)." Cyno's head was beyond exploding. He doesn't even know how he'll act and he doesn't even know what to say. It was like a casting spell of 'shut the fuck up' was casted on him.

Taking a seat down in front of him, you glanced at his notebook that was full of scribbles. "What's got you so busy early in the morning?"

"I...am..." He's about to mutter incoherent words when he saw a guy holding a book. Seeing your anticipating form, Cyno faked a cough before pulling his notebook close to him. "Studying..."

Silence wrapped between the two of you. Cyno was shifting uncomfortably on his seat while you stare at him with blank eyes. Your stare made Cyno bite his lips as he felt the awkwardness. After a moment of silence, you bursted out laughing.

"Pfft...studying..." You laughed loudly making some customers look at your direction.

"Be quiet."

"Yeah, yeah... I forgot you're 'studying'." You sniffled while emphasizing the 'studying' part.

"I am."

"What are you studying? How to court a woman?'

Cyno's eyes widened. You grinned at him before pointing out the notebook you opened a while ago, which he didn't notice you did.

"I-" Cyno avoided your gaze and looked at the ceiling. Suddenly, the ceiling looked so interesting.

"You don't have to worry, Cyno." You held his hand. "Look at me..."

You pulled his face up making him face to face with you. Red eyes met (e/c) ones. It was as if the time was moving around yet it paused between you. That moment, nothing really mattered aside from the loving gaze you both shared.

"Any date with you, is already fun. Thank you for making efforts, I really appreciate it."

Those genuine smiles of yours made Cyno's heart beat more than a million times per second. Your alluring genuity is what pulled him to you. Leaning onto your touch, Cyno held you hand that was on his face.

"Then, will you be willing to go on another date with me?"

"Did she say 'yes'?", asked the white haired woman to the general.

The general nodded before drinking the cup of tea given to him by the helpers. "She did. They had a couple more dates afterwards."

"Oh... then are they in love with each other?"

The general smiled before grabbing his notebook back. He pushed his glasses before leaning forward the table.

"Let's see on the following chapters, shall we?"
