Jeremy wryly smiles.
"Just wishing you well."

Kei looks at Jeremy.
"See you after school."
And turn around to leave.

Jeremy was dumbfounded and didn't know how to react.
No, he only able to react after a good minute.

Jeremy happily laughs on his car.
"Adorable, he is so adorable."
He happily drive to work, he better finish his work early cause nobody wanted to cancel the second date plan.

Especially not him.

***

It's lunch and Tyrone usually hang out with Kei but since Tyrone is busy being a 'stupid' inlove, he thought he might not come and plan to eat alone.

But a guy he has never talked to ask him to eat lunch together.

Of course he is not the type to eat with a stranger just because they invited him.
This guy draws him very well in his sketch pad.
And that is enough reason to eat with him.

Derreck is a gloomy guy.
Nobody talks to him just because and not because he was bullied.
To be honest, he is very handsome.
The type that comparable to Tyrone Uncle's cold beauty.
But he is rough and once, when a girl try to 'hit' on him, he almost 'hit' her.
Literally, it didn't happen because she evaded fast not because he is just warning her.

After that, it was tacitly understood not to step inside this person's personal space.

"Can you be my model for an art piece I will submit in a competition?" He said between Kei chewing his meal.

Kei puts his fork down and stares at Derreck.
"Model?"

"Yes." Derreck nods.

"What is the topic of your painting?"

"Flawless beauty."
Derreck said.

Kei sighs and closes his eyes.
Then he stares at him again.
"This is not a nude painting right?"

Derreck nods.
"Of course it is. How can clothes be part of a flawless beauty? Don't worry, I will share the prize money with you."
Derreck said.

"No."
Kei said and continue eating.

"Why?" Derreck looks very shock.
So many people wanted him to paint them but he has never like to draw anyone.
Yet Kei has this charm that somehow makes him eager to draw him.
He can even draw Kei in his sleep.
With this inspiration, he can feel that winning is just a given result.

Kei looks at Derreck.
He is an awkward guy.
But he is not the type to be helping people he doesn't know.
"No. Never." Kei said seriously.

Derreck looks down.
"I will talk to you tomorrow." He stands up and bows his head then leaves.

Kei eats his food slowly.
He wonder if he can make him say yes.

Jeremy came to get Kei.
Surprisingly, Derreck uninvitedly sat on the back of the car.

Jeremy blinks and looks at Derreck.

Kei stares at Derreck.

"Please be my nude model!" Derreck said.

Jeremy went out the car.
Open the back seat door and pulls Derreck out the car rudely throwing him away.

Then Jeremy smiles at Kei and closed the door.

Jeremy walks to Derreck.

Derreck painfully rubs his stomach then slowly looks up.

The way Jeremy looks at him bring shivers to his spine.

"Y-y--Can you become my model?" Derreck can already see it. The painting of a man hiding all the ugliness of his heart while wearing a beautiful face in the surface.

This is....'Real' beauty.
The ugliness of human greed and desire, anger and selfishness in a beuatiful face......
Derreck heart is trembling but then he gasps in pain when he feels Jeremy stepping on his knee.

Jeremy smiles.
"I won't do anything to you. But If you won't stop meddling with Kei's
business. Then you can say goodbye to this knee. Then the other knee....and if You pisses me off, you can say goodbye in being able to draw. Understand?" Jeremy smiles.

Derreck stares at Jeremy.
"W-why? I...I am just...I just wanted to draw..."

Kei rolls the window down seeing Jeremy and Derreck talking secretively away from the car.

"Jeremy, let's go?" Kei asks.

Jeremy smiles at Kei and waves his hand.
"Just a minute."
He cheerfully said.

Derreck stares at Jeremy.
".....I understand." He thinks that Jeremy's threat is very immature but the pain when he pressed his knee down is real.

Kei looks at Jeremy when he sat down the driver's seat.

"Did you say something to him?"
Kei asks.

"Yes."

Kei raised a brow.
"Is that necessary?"

Jeremy rubs his head.
"Just a few not to worry warning. I am not that petty."

"You sure you are not?" Kei sneers.

Jeremy holds Kei's hand.
"Instead of him, how are you today?"

Kei takes his hand back and looks away.
"Eyes on the road!" He angrily sneers.
Desperately hiding the redness in his ears.
