8 Years Gap

Gap #12

"Yes, at the KFC," I smilingly told him, and I was sure he won't eat there since he's a rich kid. Unexpectedly, he held my hand and said, "Let's go." I'm damned. I was about to tell him to let go when he pulled me when I heard someone talking about us.

"Wow, aren't they cute?"

"The guy looks so hot!"

"Aww, I want a boyfriend like him."

"Do you think they have an age difference?"

Age difference—two words made me realize that if we're together, people see it that way. Why does it matter when we could just love someone and don't think about the age difference? But that kind of mindset is wrong because this could lead to problems in many ways.

Because of age, I must not love him. What if my heart desired it? Will he be willing to give it or make me erase it? Or are these only some teenage feelings that are only temporary? Liking him only perhaps? My heart is beating, yet it aches.

I was surprised when Hail and Risa walked between us, which stopped us from holding hands. I laughed, thinking that we're called 'Crazy Trios' for a reason. I'm also thankful to them because we're now at the KFC, thus the reason why they did that.

"Oh, we just left that person in the hotel earlier and now he's here again. Is he a stalker than a boyfriend?" Jack told us and smirked, while Vyn sighed and said, "Be thankful Mom is not here because they are buying something."

"Is it my fault if we met him coincidentally?" I straightly explained to them, although I don't think I've done something wrong again.

His POV

I smiled, thinking that they are together again, even though they are cousins. Right, it's summer so maybe that's why.

"I'll order." I was about to leave, when Vyn asked me, "Can you order some for her?" He pointed to Mary and yes, I finally know her name. He looked at her and said, "You reserve some seats for both of you, Mary." She seated at the table Vyn pointed her out to reserve for us and it's a seat for two. It would be weird if I think of it as a date, right?

I ordered the spicy barbeque chicken like her, and I also bought one macaroni salad and came to our table. Then, I noticed that she was staring at the macaroni salad I bought so I asked, "Do you want it?" Her eyes sparkled with happiness. I smirked and said, "You can share it with me." As she looked at my face, she frowned and said, "No thanks, I'm just going to buy." She was about to leave when I held her wrist.

"70-30, is that okay with you?" She went back to her seat, and we ate first our meal before dessert. After finishing it, she said, "Give it." She pointed to the macaroni salad and I thought of something. "70-30 means I'm going to feed it to you. All of it." I grinned, and as I looked at her, she was blushing. It must be a first for her.

"N-no thanks! I will buy another one." Not good. "It is pretty line up at the counter." I know I'm making excuses, but I somehow wanted to be first. "It's alright." I'm not letting you escape. "Please?" I smiled as I plead, and she just sighed.

"I eat all of it, but I'm going to feed you only once," she said as she sit back on her chair. Wow, what a reverse but it would still be like her first, right? "Fine," I said and smiled thinking how she would be embarrassed if I did that to her.

"Ahh," she smilingly feed me a spoon of macaroni and I ate it. She smiled and patted my head, "Good boy."

That smile. "I'm not a dog, okay?" Then, she burst into laughter. "Sorry, I can't hold back anymore because you really look like one, she said while laughing. "Hey! Don't laugh, I'm not!" I told her while flustered, though I hope she keeps laughing like this.

"Yuki, I never knew you could smile like this." I was startled by Sean. He's here? I looked at him and I was shocked. Why is Ali with him?

She lied again. I'm tired, but I can't. I want to burst out my anger, but I think I don't have any right.

"Yin?" I'm more shocked when Mary nervously and shockingly called his name. "Mary?" He called her name and smiled like he was related to her in a way. But Mary doesn't seem happy seeing him.

Who is he to her? Because the way she looks at him is like at any moment, she might start crying. She wants to, but she's stopping herself from doing so.

That look. I don't like it. I felt like losing her.

Is it true that the cupid's arrow was said to be love, but also to feel the pain?

OMG, Yin's here!!
