I LOVE YOU, MONSTER: THE BLINDFOLDED WIFE X THE MASKED HUSBAND

Step #10

Somewhere in Blue City...

Davi's mind was busy as she looks around the familiar place . However, she was still thinking about that kiss and run . Truth was that, she never meant to do it that way again, she wanted to kiss him naturally like what couple normally does . However, she thought about the step#07 written on her notebook .

'Step #07; make him think about you/make him curious about the things you do/make him wonder . '

Davi thought of trying to turn the kiss and run into double edged weapon . If Sei will wonder why she's doing it that way, if he thinks about her a bit longer because of it, then it's working . But, if in case, Sei won't react the third time she does it, then she needs to drop that strategy down and think of something new . Because as what Hinari said;

'Experiment, experiment . . . and see which is working and which is not, but remember, don't overdo it . '

After an hour, Davi finally reached her destination .

Standing in front of a certain school gate, she raised her head then stared at the buildings across the soft ball ground .

While looking at it, a memory from a year ago came back to her as though it all just happened yesterday .

"Listen to me, Mizuri . You're one of a kind, you're the most exceptional student I ever met in my entire career as a teacher for decades, so please don't waste that rare potential bestowed upon you . Do you understand?"

Those words were from her teacher, Ms . Lee . She was a good teacher who was always pestering her to pursue her studies in one of the most elite university in the country . She even gathered a lot of university candidates for her, telling her that she can also get the most exclusive scholars.h.i.+ps at those schools .

However, during those times, Davi's mind was clouded . After her graduation in high school, she went straight to find work . Her brother's health was deteriorating . Davi didn't have any choice but work to save her dearest brother . Until times went by and Davi almost forgot about her own dreams, her life was entirely focused in working and her brother, nothing more .

During those tines, she was indeed as what others said, an unfortunate gem that was stock with the gravel stones .

Until the day she met that person . When Davi signed that contract, sold herself to a stranger, one thing was clear to her, that she was no longer allowed to dream for herself . She was ready to burry everything and live a life with unknown future and yet Sei came and told her to keep dreaming . Truth was, Davi still couldn't believe it . She didn't know if Sei just said it for her to ease her boredom but it was everything to her . She will grab the chance he gave her . She will do it no matter what it takes .

"Okay, let's do it!" she said while raising her fist as she finally entered the school, confident and fearless .

After few minutes, she finally met Ms . Lee . The two embraced each other as though they were a pair of sweet grandmother and granddaughter . They chatted for a long while . The teacher expressed her disappointment when she didn't see her name in last year's exams result, however, she said she's still waiting for Davi this whole time .

"I'm telling you Mizuri, I'm really glad that you finally realized that a life without dream is nonsense . Even if life will break you to pieces, as long as you won't let go of that dream, you can survive anything . Believe in yourself . "

Ms . Lee's words is like a spear that pierced through Davi's heart . This teacher is still indeed the best teacher she ever met and could only answer her with a tight hug and a "Yes Ms . I'll do my best . "

The teacher then arranged her to take the entrance exam for the top three elite universities, next month . Davi told her that she wanted to avail the full scholars.h.i.+p, so in order for her to get it, her challenge is to top the exam .

...

The next day, Sei arrived home but the girl wasn't there . The butler told him that Davi went to Blue City early in the morning .

Not asking anymore details about the whys and whats, Sei went straight to the sofa . He saw thick books under the table . His line of sight fell into the book on top ent.i.tled, Medical Microbiology .

By simply looking at it, Sei could already tell what the girl was up to .

After a while, Sei went to the kitchen when he noticed something that was sticking on the fridge . He moves closer to it right away .

Truth was that, even if Davi wasn't home, she didn't forget about her priority . She was thinking that she needed to take another step and do her sworn mission even when she's away from him .

'Step #10: Level up cheesy moves'

One of the leveled up cheesy move written in her notebook was the so called 'cute romance in a love note' . And one of the ultimate strategy was to cook something for him, then leave a love note with it .

And to do that, Davi woke up early in the morning and cooked a snack for Sei . Afterwards, she left a cheesy lovey dovey note sticking in the fridge .

"I made a snack for you . I hope you will like it . ~ Davi" Was written and a cute heart with a smile inside it was drawn after her name .
