Sunset

Chapter V. Gusion and Lawrence

I went to school early in the morning that I literally forgot that we have no class today. The teachers are going to a seminar that is why Monday is our vacant day.

What Gusion did to me last night was heart-melting. Nobody has ever done that to me, kissing my hand just like thatㅡeven Lawrence. I was surprised of what he did and I accidentally slapped himㅡand I ran inside my room. I can't say that I woke up early in the morning because I wasn't even sure if I have fallen asleep last night. I quickly prepared myself to go to school and left him a breakfast in the table before I went out.

I tucked in the strand of my hair at the back of my ear when the cold wind blows. While walking back at the parking lot, I remembered something which made hurry back inside the car and drove my way home.

Our exam is in next week and I have to study!

But when I entered my house, I started to walk awkwardly when my eyes saw him eating his breakfast. He glanced at my direction before gulping the last drop of the milk on the glass.

"Good morning," he said.

"Good morning..." I greeted back. I headed to my room and when I was about to open it, he called my name.

"Do you always eat bread and milk every morning?" He asked. God. Why does he look like that? His brown hair is messed upㅡand he look so handsome... what?

"No," I replied. "I always don't eat breakfast."

"That's unhealthy."

"It is. But I have no apetite to eat when I am alone. Some times I eat lunch with my friend."

"You mean your lover?" He raised his eye brows as he crossed his legs. I felt my cheeks heated because of his unexpected question.

"Of course no! He is just a friend." I defended and tried to go inside my room but he called my name for the second time.

"The way you looked at him yesterday," he shook his head as he walked towards the room that I let him use for a while. "It was obvious that you are into him."

I left speechless. Seriously? I rushed inside my room and threw my bag on the bed. I touch my cheeks that are now as red as an apple! Why did he even tell me that?

Gusion is such a weird guy, isn't he?

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. It was the first time that someone has guessed my crush and I can't believe it. Why is he always like that?

My phone is ringing. And my heart literally skipped a beat when I saw the caller's name.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Ren? Where are you?" Lawrence is a handsome guy. Even his voice is handsome.

"I am at home. I was about to study when you called me," my heart thumped.

"Can you open the door for me?" What?

"Huh?"

"Please open the door for me. I have something for you." I heard him chuckle. And that's when I realize that he's here!

I ran outside to open the door. His smile greeted me as he raised a paper bag in front of me.

"Why are you here?" I can't believe he's here. He came here twice when we were in senior high school but today is different. Gusion is with me and what will he just say to me if he sees him?

"I know you will be very busy this week because the exam is near. I bought your favorite food. Here." He said as he gave me the paper bag. I opened it and I smelled the mouth-watering scent of the vegetable salad.
