Red String ~ Ma Jiaqi

"Ma Jiaqi!" I called out.

"What is it now, Ms. Mysterious Girl?" He asked as he faced me.

I can't believe I'm doing this right now. As you can see, I am a Match Maker. Everything was going smoothly until this dork tied a red string onto his pinky finger, which made me appear to his world. Since I am a human now, I am also destined to someone, and that someone is this slender boy.

"Wi-will you be my boyfriend?"

He furrowed his eyebrows and scoffed. "Are you sick or something?" He neared me and flicked my forehead.

"Ow!" I exclaimed and rubbed the flicked spot. "I'm not. It's just that... we're meant to be!"

"Meant to be?" Jiaqi his fingers through his hair while his other hand went to his hip. "You sure are crazy."

"I'm not crazy! We really are meant to be! We're soulmates!"

"Is this the effect of reading too much fiction?"

"Why won't you believe me?"

"Because it's not real." He seriously answered.

I'm slowly becoming irritated by his stubborn attitude. Draw the one last straw, Ma Jiaqi, and you'll be in living hell.

"It is. There's a red string tied on our pinky fingers."

"Do you see any?" He asked as he lifted his pinky fingers.

"Yes. "

"Huh? You're seeing things, lady."

"It's because they're invisible to the human eye, dimwit!" I snapped and smacked his head.

He held his head and looked at me with annoyance. "What was that for?!"

"For your stubbornness!"

He clicked his tongue and looked at me irritatingly. "You're so immature!"

Immature, huh?

I held his hand and slammed him to the wall. Boy, this is awkward. He's so tall, geez. "Now, will you be my boyfriend? Wait, boyfriend doesn't seem to be the right term. Will you be my husband? No, not that, too. Will you be mine forever?"

He just stared at me, like he was making his decision.

"Hurry up, slow-poke. It's quite exhausting to use kabedon on you with this height of mine." I annoyingly said.

Tables have turned. I was the one he's pinning now. He put his hand on the top side of my head as I looked up at him impatiently.

"What's your answer, dummy?"

He then put his hand on my forehead and kissed it. I mean, he kissed his hand that was on my forehead and took a step away from me. He took his bag and just stared at me.

My mind isn't processing well. Help, I'm feeling something in my chest! So, this is what humans feel, huh? But I don't even like him one bit! Wait, so...

"Does this mean it's a yes?"

He just nodded like what he did was just a normal thing to do with people.

Heh, I thought this one's gonna be a long way. We walked home side by side quietly until I asked, "Hey, why did you say yes?"

He stole a glance from me before looking towards the road. "I wouldn't want to waste the opportunity of being together with the one I like, especially if she's the one who offered it to me."
