CHAPTER THREE

"I will never forget the first day of us."

Min Keira

I'm feeling a lot better now.

I don't remember what exactly happened last night but all I know is that I woke up peacefully lying on my bed. It must be Yohan who carried me again. Why do I always commit something embarrassing! I should be even conscious of myself next time.

Today is just an ordinary school day and I've been texting Yohan since our morning classes ended and I got out of my classroom. It's our lunch break and he asked me earlier if we can eat lunch together and so, I agreed. But up 'til now, he haven't sent me any messages at all. Usually he texts me first but I guess I have to wait this time.

I almost dropped my phone when I felt it vibrated. Yohan is calling.

"Finally. I'm starving. Where are you?" I asked.

"Uhm, Keira. I can't make it today. We can just eat together tomorrow or maybe later after class. I'm sorry.."

"Oh, okay. Did anything happen? Are you running some errands?" Maybe he's about to do something important and I understand. He has his personal life to deal with anyways.

"Actually, I asked Hyewon to have lunch with me."

I was startled when he told me the reason why he won't make it to lunch. So that's it huh? They will eat lunch together? Does that mean, he is finally making a move on his own? Well, good for him! At least, they are finally getting along and he's finally going out of his comfort zone.

"Oh, is that so? Seems like our pretty boy here is finally making his move. Congrats, Yohannie!" I did my best to sound happy even if I felt broke on the inside.

I'm happy for him, of course. Who wouldn't? He's finally getting what he really wants and I'll be supporting him no matter what. That's what I'm here for.

"Yes. I gathered my strength to ask her for lunch, Kei. My mind won't just let me rest when you said that if I really want her, then I should make a move and I can't just rely on waiting and destiny. If you want, you can join us!" Wait, what? Should I really join them? For what, Keira? Hurt yourself and pretend happy all throughout? God, you're crazy.

"Hmm. Maybe next time. But for now, you should enjoy each other's company and try to get to know each other more. I'll make it up to the both of you, promise. Take care of her, okay? And enjoy, Yohannie. I hope you're happy."

Oh God. I could almost win a Best Actress award for this outstanding performance!

"Ofcourse I'm happy. Thank you, Kei. And I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you later, after class. Okay?"

Take it easy, Keira. Hold it.

"Hey don't worry about it. Just enjoy the moment and we're good. Okay? Byebye, Yohannie. I'll talk to you later."

I love you.

"Okay, thank you for understanding, Kei!"

"No worries, Yohan." I retorted before hanging up the call. Looks like I'm gonna have to eat alone.

The hallways are filled with noise from everyone chit chattering and by the looks of it, I'm the only one shutting off my mouth. I have decided to eat outside since college students are under the open gates system which means we can go in and out the campus anytime we want. We just have to show the security officers our schedule to prove that we don't have classes and we're free to go.
