"So would you actually eat it?" Lara asked , attempting to speak through her laughs , "yeah I would! If we can eat birds , why not eat pterodactyls , they're technically birds!" I answered , making her laugh even more.

"Alright everyone , this is it for todays show , once again I would love to thank our guest Jeremiah Abara for making time to join us to today" she said into the microphone, "it was my pleasure beautiful" I replied , winking at her , "as always, spread love!" She finished.

She tapped the "stop recording" button and instantly threw herself at me.

"Oh my gosh Jere I'm so glad you could join me today!!!!" She exclaimed, tightening the hug we were currently in. "It was my pleasure love , I would've joined you earlier too if you told me that you hosted the podcast earlier on" I responded , "I'm honestly just shocked that you didn't even know the podcast existed"

So apparently Lara was the host of the "One Love Princeton Podcast" a weekly podcast for the university that touched on the buzzing topics of the week. I only found out about it recently when I walked into her recording the last episode.

We were currently sat , well more like cuddling , on Lara's couch in her room.

It felt amazing to have her around me.

"So how have you been doing?" She asked , drawing circles with her finger on my chest.
"Want me to be honest with you?" I replied , getting a nod from her , "I've been terrible...." I answered.

She then sat up and looked me straight into my eyes , "why's that?" She inquired , with so much concern in her voice.

We hadn't spent much time together the past week due to her being busy with her own personal stuff , so she had no idea of the whole Yeri and Yeonjun situation , might as well tell her now....

"And you're telling me you DIDN'T punch him even once!?" She yelled , I couldn't help but laugh at her reaction , "unfortunately no , but trust me babe I wanted to" I said , stroking her back to make sure she calms down.

"Oh my gosh , I can't even imagine what Yeri is going through right now......" she added , honestly no one knew just how bad this hurt Yeri apart from Amitola and I , I still vividly remember seeing her cry so much that night. The more I thought about it , the more I wanted to hurt Yeonjun.

"So what should we do?" She asked , her green eyes maintaining contact with mine.

I wanted to say 'go to his place and beat him up until he can no longer move' but I knew that was not going to happen.

"Nothing." I simply replied . I could see the shock in her eyes , lingered with disappointment.

"No , absolutely not! That bastard can't go off that easily! You know that!" She yelled , I wholeheartedly agreed with her but I was explicitly told to not do anything and I was going to comply because it's Nate's battle , not mine.

"Nate is the one who has to-WILL....confront him , I don't want to rid him of the joy of ruining his face because if I meet him first.....he'll have to handle someone who's already down" I answered. Gritting my teeth at the thought of harming Yeonjun.

Lara closed her eyes and let out a sigh trying to calm herself down.

"Fine , I get it. But there has to be something WE can do to him and he doesn't even need to know it was us!' She spoke.
