All Strings Attached

Chapter 17

"Come on don't say no. I am sad!" Win pouted and
already pulled him to the stall.

Soon they were completely submerged in the sweet smell of freshly cooked pancakes and no one really kept an eye on time. Saint's sight fell on the huge clock hung over the wall and he chocked on his pancake, immediately grabbing Win's collar.

"We are late for bus!" Saint shouted, picking up his backpack and yelled in Win's face "AGAIN!"

Win closed his eyes at the aggressive encounter and was mercilessly pulled towards the bus stop, his mouth still chewing.

He chuckled as soon as he saw the look of horror on Saint's face but soon his laughter changed into loud gasp when they reached closer and saw bus driver already starting the engine.

Life was good.

Saint glanced at Win sideway and hit his elbow, whispering "Pay attention"

Win was startled, his eyes immediately went to whiteboard but he relaxed when he saw teacher was still occupied in writing something.

He ducked his head down and went back to his phone, typing impatiently.

"I need to talk to you"

"Reply as soon as you see my message"

"Reply or else I'm coming to garage"

"Is P'Gun there?"

Win sighed, putting his phone back into his desk , disappointed. He wanted to confront Bright about those videos. He can't contain it in his heart anymore. He just needed to hear that those videos were fake or photoshopped or filmed illegally to detain Bright's image.

Win slowly put his head on his desk.

He just needed to hear that Bright was not guilty.

After dismissal, both college boys aimlessly went to  gate, Win still staring at his phone screen.

"P'Fuse?" Saint called causing Win to look up. There indeed was standing a good looking man leaned against the gate, wearing sun glasses.

At the mention of his name, he took off his glasses and smiled in their direction.

"Why are you here?" Saint asked. Fuse glanced at Saint then shifted  all his attention to Win, smiling "I was just passing by. Thought of stopping "

Win uncomfortably shifted on his feet and looked nervously at the senior "P'Fuse about that day I-"

"Come over and have a coffee with me" Fuse cut him in mid and smiled "I'll accept your apology"

Win hesitated, looking in random direction, not knowing how to reject. Damn this free food.

"Or perhaps you're not allowed to come to my cafe?" Fuse asked, his tone sarcastic.

"Its not like that phi" Win gave a nervous chuckled and looked at his phone screen.
No new message

"Lets go" Win said, causing Fuse to smile brightly and three of them walked towards the cafe, chatting.

When they were halfway there, only then he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. His heart jumped a little.

Immediately taking out his phone, he read the message. It was a single text, completely unrelated to the texts Win sent before
