Chapter Nineteen

"Your ICT teacher is Mrs.Jung right?"

The clerk at the teachers' register desk asked when she saw us. Both Ryan and I nodded in assent.

"She suddenly fell sick and went to the hospital. She is expecting a baby, you know?" The clerk said.

She was too chatty. We did not need to know about our teacher's private life.

So we thanked her and left.

Ryan was walking a bit slower than me, so I had to slow down my pace once in a while. This time my while happened to be in front of the infirmary. I felt a strong gaze landing on me as I walked past it.

I just knew when I am being watched. I raised my head a bit and my eyes met his.

What was that weird spark in his eyes?

I acted as if nothing was wrong.

Well, there could have rarely been a chance for Yoongi to be there when I and Kookie conversed.

Plus why should I care about Yoongi's opinions?

I did what I wanted.

When Ryan and I were in the lab again; we started to copy down the note that Mrs. Jung had emailed us. Without much thought I had been gazing at Ryan without my notice.

"Stop staring Krissy," Ryan mocked at me.

"I am sorry... It is just that ..." I paused.

"Tell me. What is wrong?" Ryan asked.

"Ryan, do you think someone would ever like me? Like ... really like me for who I am?"

"Yes... I do think so." Ryan said as he continued to copy down the note.

"I mean, a guy."

"What am I? Not a guy? And I like you, you are just so weird but I like hanging out with you. Sia is my girlfriend and she thinks so too. She told me something really crazy yesterday when I called up her though."

Ryan gave a weird smile.

"Yeah but, you like me as a friend. I mean beyond that... Would a guy like a girl like me and think that I am of good girlfriend material?"

"Yeah. 100% sure of that."

He said flatly.

"But... I just cannot even cook. How can I be a girlfriend?"

"I got a girlfriend not to cook for me. She is not my maid and I love her so much that I will eat whatever she dishes out. Made with Love, you see."

"That is just you Ryan. Tell me if you have a cousin who thinks like you. I shall marry him." I chuckled.

"I don't have cousins because I'm a limited edition, but at least, Min Yoongi thinks like that though."

I tugged at his arm to face me.

Were my ears functioning well?

"What the hell did you just say?"

"Min Yoongi, the guy you hates the most likes you."

"H-how come that?"

I stammered.

"It was just Sia. She had seen what happened between you, Mandy and him on that auditions day."

"Aiiish that bestie of mine... You mean she has spied on me?"

"It was not spying. She had been on her way to the canteen that day. She had walked slow enough to notice much of the uproar. You know Krissy, Sia has good ears. Just my Bat Girl."

"This cannot be. No!!"

"Scream as much as you like. From what I heard from Sia, I also believe that he likes you. But I don't know if he is serious enough for an affair. But he most definitely likes you."

I was just speechless.

"How can you say that he likes me for real?"

I was still doubtful about the whole thing.

"No guy ever has confronted Mandy. He is the first to have done that. I don't think he would threaten a shark with no guts. Sia also narrated how he dragged you away from the scene. Wooow, must have been romaaaantic." Ryan slurred the last words.

"He said that he likes me. I didn't believe that."

Ryan almost fell from the chair due to the shock.

"WHAT THE HELL KRISTENE!"

I kept my smug expression on.

What?

"YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SHARE THESE WITH US!"

"It was not that. He is a playboy whom he himself declared as a virgin. It must have been joke."

"Goddamit Kristene. He IS a virgin."

It was my turn to fall from the chair, but Ryan caught me.

"He WHAT?"

"He is. The whole school knows it. How come that you don't know?" Ryan was so amazed.

"I guess I do have so much of school gossip to catch up."

"INDEED! We have known the fact since a couple of years."

I shrugged. I was not here for three years anyway.

"Plus I need to tell you something Kristene." Ryan's voice was deep and that meant that he was really serious. I nodded asking him to go ahead.

"You asked me why anyone would like you. I should have asked you why Min Yoongi wouldn't like you. I happened to do basketball because my mom pushed me to do some sport," he scoffed, "I know this and that about him, we have talked a bit."

I kept silent and he continued.

"He said that he liked a girl so much, who was simple as a dandelion in spring, one who was so carefree and who made his whole world shine she when smiled. He said that he was so dumb that he did not understand that he was actually falling for her. Believe me Krissy, I couldn't even believe that the famous virgin playboy liked a girl for real."

I just kept nodding at Ryan's lines, so he continued.

"But I felt in my bones that he really liked her. It was just like the way I liked Sia. It was very rare for Min Yoongi to speak out like that, he is just so cold as everyone says. But that day, he was not. He said that he felt guilty every night that he was the reason for her to leave the school. He regretted so much that he did not accept that he liked that girl. "

Ryan paused for a minute.

This story was creepy but nice.

"I asked him who she was. I did not think that he would tell me, but he did."

Ryan looked directly in my eyes and inhaled a deep breath.

"It was you. He said Kristene Andrews."
