AMY's POV:
I left the teacher's room and went to the restroom to wash my face. I can't believe I actually slept in front of a teacher!
.
"Gawd I look like a ghost!"
I look in the mirror and turn from left to right and yes I made a wrong choice for letting my hair open. Now it looks like that someone blasts a bomb in it.
I finger combed my hair and made a side braid then secure the end with the rubber band, I was wearing on my wrist for hours now.
Woah! Finger combing was never this easy before!
Short hair are really not that bad.
.
I left the restroom and walked slowly while thinking why am I getting this strange uneasy feeling as if I was forgetting something.
Then it hit me making me halt in my steps.
Art project!
I need a model!
I turned around to go back to the teacher's room.
.
I stop in front of the door and open my back pack. I took out two energy bars that I bought last night.
I opened the door slowly..
"She was looking for Vegas."
I froze in my steps. Sir Kinn was talking to someone.
I waited and waited..
"Khun! Hello! Khun?"
He was half shouting but the guy on the other side hung up.
'Did he just... Was he talking about me? He told Tankhun about me!! seriously! It's been only like fifteen minutes and he already sold my secret plan! Can I call it backbite?'
I clench on the bars in my hand.
"You should learn how to knock!" A deep scolding voice came behind me.
I didn't get startled as I know who he was..
"Coming from the guy who was stalking me!" I retorted half rudely.
"I... wasn't stalking you!"
"Whatever Huge! Do whatever you want! I'm already get used to it!"
I clicked my tongue and turn around only to find a pair of hostile eyes fixed on me. Nice!
"What! Do you want something from me?" I asked, he remains silent.
"You like chocolate? Here. Have some.." I held out one bar to him.
"..." He furrowed his brows as if he never saw a thing called chocolate. Stupid!
I made a face, held his hand by the cuff and half forced the chocolate bar in it.
It's a little thanks from me as he was the one who make sures I left the restaurant in one piece.
"You need energy to follow me around.." I whispered playfully and winked at his fierce but surprised face. Haha
He first stare at my face then to my hand holding his cuff, I let go at once.
He wasn't saying anything so I went inside.
.
"Excuse me! Sir Kinn!"
"Amy?" He almost throw his cellphone down. Was it that surprising to see me again!?
He shifted his gaze to the door, and took a moment to exchange some kind of silent conversation with his ducklike bodyguard.
.
"This is for you." I placed the bar on the table.
"You really don't have to give something just because I taught your brother."
"Its not for that... I've already promised you an ice cream before. Remember!"
"Then why...?"
I took a deep breath before asking for the thing I came for...
"If I asked you something would you say yes?"
"Depends.."
"I want you to be my model."
Here I said it.
"Your model?" He pressed on the wrong word.
"I.. I have an art project next week. And I need a model for that.."
"..." He didn't said anything so I continued.
"..well it's okay if you don't want to.. I mean you're a busy man and for my project you need to sit in one place for hours.."
Just say yes already...
"You might feel uneasy when I keep my eyes on you.. not in a wrong way.. hehe.."
Damn that was stupid thing to say.
"Honestly it's my last day to choose a model.. and you seems like a best choice."
For a friction of second, a gorgeous face flashes before my eyes but hell with him. I successfully find someone who is equally gifted with handsomeness. My Sir Kinn!
But why isn't he saying anything?
Come on Sir~ I'm on the verge of losing hope.
"I think I should go to someone else." I rubbed the back of my neck and turned on my good heel.
Sigh!
I shouldn't let that girl took my pretty boy as her model... I was carefree till now as I initially planned to ask Tankhun to be my model. But everything changed in these last twenty-four hours. If only I can turn back time...
"Yes!" He responded.
"...!" I halted.
Did I hear that right?
I turned around and found him making a thoughtful face. Even with a serious face he looked handsome.
"OH YES!!" I shouted out loud in excitement, making him smile.
Now I'm seeing an A+ for my art project. I would love to see the face of a certain girl when I got the first place.
"But I suggest you to have a backup model. Because my schedule is quite..." He thought for a second "..occupied."
"Thank you so much! You made my day!" I smiled widely but stopped myself from jumping like a frog in happiness.
"So I can have it!" He touched the bar.
"Yeah of course. All yours. I can get you many more.." Damn I can't stop smiling.
"Silly girl!" He shook his head while smiling.
"When is it?" He hesitated but ended up getting a tiny bite.
"When what is?" I thought for a second.
He lifted his thick brows while chewing slowly with his wide jaw.. damn!
I shifted my eyes then it hit me.
"Oh okay! Umm.. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday..." I counted on my fingers. "Tuesday.. on tuesday! Next week!"
"Tuesday..." He took a deep breath then rubbed his brow with his thumb.
'So I really need to look for an backup..' I thought to myself.
"See you on tuesday." He said in his deep voice. "But still look for another model. Just in case."
"Okay.." I nodded like an obedient student and turned to leave.
"Amy?"
"Yes!"
"Khun called!"
Even though I knew I made a puzzled face.
"Khun was...is looking for you. He's quite worried about you."
"Did you tell him?" I completely ignored the second sentence.
"About your plan? No."
Hmph! Liar!
I narrowed my eyes at him. Well he's a gentleman and gentleman won't lie so let's just believe him. A little trust won't hurt, right?
"But you should answer his call. He's freaking out!"
"..." I nodded but didn't said yes.
"He's worried about you!" He repeated.
"I know! And that's the problem!" I whispered to myself and half smiled.
"...?" He surely didn't get that.
"I don't want to talk about him. Let's just say he's being quite rude to me." I lightly touched my forehead, unintentionally.
"Really! But as far as I know Khun is a gentleman in vogue."
"Yes he's gentle and man..and quite voguish.." I admit while making a face in....whatever.
"I..." He rubbed his chin with a small smile "..couldn't agree more."
He find the gentle - man thing funny.
"I know he's good at heart. He greatly cares and worries about the people around him. But the way he feels about me..." I couldn't bring myself to finish the thought and let out a breath.
I shouldn't over-talk in front of a teacher, no matter how gentle and handsome he was. Plus I think he get my point, giving to the slow nodding he was doing.
I stretched my lips into a smile and turned the door knob.
Woah! Mr. Donald duck was standing right in front of me.
"Will you be my backup model?" I asked the first thing that pop into mind, sweetly.
"..." He stood still and blinked, dumbfounded.
"HAHAHA..." From behind I heard Sir Kinn's loud laugh.
.
.
I was walking around and heard an embarrassing growl.
I put a hand on my tummy. Maybe it's time to open that lunchbox that Pete prepared for me and.... whoever.
I am starving so I will eat the whole thing alone.
Now I need to find a peaceful place where I can sit and enjoy my own company.

Kim's POV:
Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting~
My cell phone was ringing since morning. That's my elder brother, looking for his young lady desperately. Hahaha
One of the reasons I like Amy is that she makes my crazy brother even crazier.
At first I was annoyed when I found myself added into the thousandth group that my crazy brother create.
Seriously this guy doesn't know when to stop!
I checked the text half heartedly before leaving the group. Honestly I've always read his texts just in case he was blabbering out something that I didn't know.
Well that seldomly happened as I always get the news before Khun or anyone else. Hehe.
I raised my brows in surprise. It turns out my sister-in-law gone MIA. And my brother used all of the synonyms of the word 'missing'. Even exaggerated it while saying that 'his beautiful Amy got kidnapped'.
It seems he made his guards check all the places where she usually goes to.
I decided to asked around so I leave a text in my music club group...
'Has anyone seen the girl I've performed with yesterday?'
I waited for a reply and guess what!
Within a minute my cellphone start ringing..
[The one with fake long hair?]
[The one with heavenly smile?]
[The one who didn't held your hand for dance?]
[The girl wearing sunflower dress?]
'Yes!'
I chuckled lightly.
[Can I have her number?]
[Me too! I kinda fell for her..]
I shook my head in disbelief. Are they for real?
[The one who disappeared?]
I stopped and focused on the last text.
'Tell me more...'
[I saw some seriously good looking dudes asking for her... Wait I'll ask for you...]
I was slightly puzzled but choose to wait.. what can I do anyways...
[Her name slipped my mind but my sister's secret boyfriend's brother's friend saw that Miss.Sunflower heading for the Business Faculty.]
Is he for real!?
[Wait you knew your sister had a boyfriend?]
[Obviously! Wait! you knew too?]
[We all knew...]
[Then why didn't you tell me before?]
[Why would we?]
[Hahahahahaahahah]
[Just wait! I'm gonna kill all of you!]
[Hey Kim! He's going to abolish out music club!]
I rolled my eyes at those stupid nuts. Why am I even reading their texts?
'Shut up!'
I replied and put my cellphone away.
"Business Faculty he said! Now it's getting interesting." I smirked while scrolling on the screen.
I did some personal research merely out of curiosity.
At first I thought she went there to see Vegas or Macau but it turns out she spent more than an hour in teacher's room.
I wonder what she was doing there or should I say what she was upto now.
Ring~
Ring~
Ring~
I let it rang for a second then answered my elder brother's call.
Khun was sounding like he was about to cry at any moment so I told him about Amy going to the Business Faculty without much teasing, just out of pity.
Last thing he told me was that he accidentally hurt her, she ran away and threw up. Now he's afraid that his beautiful Amy might fainted somewhere in this hell of a boring place because she didn't ate anything since yesterday.
Oh...kay... What should I do with this pieces of information!?
.
I thought for a good minute before dialing a certain number. I narrowed my eyes at the screen that shows our leader's name.
I run my fingers through my hair and called my hopelessly romantic brother.
"Hey Kinn!"
[What do you want?]
"..." I took the cellphone away from my ear and looked at it for a second.
Too much straightforwardness for a leader!
"It's about Khun and his young lady.." I started.
[She left already. You're late to ask]
I imagined him smiling widely.
"I see!" I muttered and hung up.
I chuckled as our leader would be feeling stupefied on the other side. Now try to smile some more haha.
But hold on! How did he knew about her? Was she with him?
Then it hit me. Kinn likes to stay in teacher's room in his free classes. And she was there so... I connect one and one to know the whole situation.
.
I was alone in the music club so that means I can work on my private musical stuff.
I was working on a melody and played my new original song. Chay said that it's perfect but I am not sure. Something is off and I can't put my finger on it.
I am not sure where I would get to perform this new song but I would like to see Amy's reaction.
Wait! Why am I thinking about her?
The whole yesterday's scenario flashed before my eyes. Damn she didn't ate anything!
What if Khun was right and she actually fainted.... Damnit!
I put my guitar away and stood up.
Something is telling me to go downstairs and see if my secret admirer is there or not.
I left the room, closed the door behind and went downstairs without making any noise.
It'll be wonderful to find her sitting and enjoying music - my music.
Last time when she personally came to the music club, it helps me a lot.* She got a good sense of music. And I kinda like our little interactions.
I won't said it out loud but our crazy Khun found an exquisite gem.
As I was heading towards her supposedly secret spot, I saw a familiar guy lurking around.
I walked towards him and placed my hand over his shoulder.
For a friction of second he got startled then his features relaxed, seeing me standing right behind him.
"You're job is done here. Go back to Kinn."
"But..." Big opened his mouth.
"It's my turn to give her some company." I informed in my raspy voice, a playful smile appeared on my face on it's own.
He turned to give her a last glance then nodded at me before leaving.
.
I silently approach her and stood right behind her. She was sitting on the floor while humming some song softly.
There was silence all around only her voice was breaking it beautifully.
I peeked a little and found her busy picking on her sandwich. So no need to worry about her now as she's not going to starve to faint. Hehe.
I saw her picking green and red chillies out of her sandwich.
Who did that stupid thing in first place? What a junky recipe!
"You can sit, you know."
"...!" I froze in my place hearing her voice. She knew? How?
"I have plenty if you want to eat." She muttered while placing the lunchbox beside her.
"Ummm.. I..." Damn that was embarrassing.
"Hi!" I gathered myself and took a seat beside her.
"Hey Han!" She glanced at me then took a small bite.
"Have some." She pointed at the unchbox and I stare at the jalapeno sandwiches for a moment.
"I can make this spice-free if you want." She offered and I smiled as she's good at reading people.
"Sure." I nodded like a little boy.
Why in the hell I'm feeling shy? I scoffed to myself.
She put her half eaten sandwich on the box lid and picked up a new one for me.
"You made these?" I ask just to start a casual conversation.
"Nope! Pete did."
"..." I just blinked.
Food from minor family... I can't eat that! What if there's something funny in it?
But on the second thought.. it should be safe as it's for Amy and Pete is the one who made it... Now I know why these sandwiches are filled with jalapenos. That guy is immune to spices.
"Thanks!" I ended up accepting a sandwich she held out to me.
"No problema!" She picked up her half eaten sandwich back.
We eat in silence for a few minutes.
"When did you came here?" I was the first to break the silence.
"One and a half sandwich ago..." She replied with a mouth full making me chuckle.
"What was the song you were humming?"
"Why! You want me to sing to you?" She asked jokingly.
"Maybe..." I muttered and took another bite.
"..."
"Why! You didn't want to..or are you a cacophony?" I asked teasingly.
"If you think you can stir me up this way then you're....right! Hehe." She chuckled while covering her mouth. Pleasant!
I finished my first sandwich then waited and waited and waited some more...
She passed me another jalapeno-free sandwich, which I took gratefully. I take back calling it a junky food.
"Pete made too much for just one person!" I commented while glancing at the lunchbox.
"He didn't! He made for two.."
Two?
"I was supposed to be sharing this with someone..." she sighed in dismay "Actually it's good that you're here. I can share these with you."
"Why me?"
"Because you're a Theerapanyakul too." She grinned half evilly.
"You're supposed to be sharing this with my brother, right?" I lifted an amusing brow
"Umhm.."
"So what happened?"
"Nothing. I was sitting here and he might be out there." she shrugged casually. "..who knows where."
I noticed how she avoid to answer directly, nor did she reveal her actual problem.
I wonder what my crazy brother have done this time!
Khun said he hurt her accidentally. But I didn't see any signs of... anything.
I was looking at her from head to toe and my eyes stopped at her reddish lips.
There's a visible scratch on her lips.. But I refuse to believe that Khun was the reason behind this.
Maybe by hurt he was indicating to her feelings or something.. who knows?
.
She wiped her hands using tissue paper while I was still busy eating. It was my third or maybe fourth sandwich. I lose count, how shameless I am! Hehe
She leaned back on the pillar and gazed at me.
I wonder what she was thinking about..
"Han! There's something in you hair."
I touched my hair with free hand.
"On left... A little up... No the other side... kudos.. It got tangled in your hair.."
I was moving my hand while she tried to direct me.
"A centimeter down... Little right... Not there.." she sighed "..you know what just let it be.. or allow me." Before I could answer she leaned forward and raised her hand.
I sat straight when she touched my hair. Heat raised up to my neck.
No girl dare to touch me before. Never ever!
And yet I don't feel offended.
Four seconds never felt that long.
"Here! It was a small feather." She put the little thing on her palm, then blow it away.
"Ba-bye!" She smiled at the flying feather.
"It wasn't complimenting your aesthetic hair." She whispered in secrecy.
"..." I just gazed at her then couldn't help but laugh.
I like her.
"Dear me!" She exclaimed while looking at me in awe.
"What!"
"Only if I meet you an hour ago.." She whines.
"Why?"
"You lose a chance to be my model."
"Your model?" I pressed on the first word.
"Boys will be boys!" She gave me an amused look then shook her head, smiling.
.
.
I got ourselves juice bottle. She accepted with a smile.
She drink most of it in one breath.
"Ahhhhh! How refreshing! Actually I didn't get to drink anything since yesterday. I don't even get to eat my breakfast." She made a pouty face.
"I didn't have breakfast too."
"Really! Why?"
"It's my daily thing. I don't eat breakfast."
"What!! Why?" She looked too shocked than necessary.
"You don't have anyone to make you one?" She asked thoughtfully.
"Yeah you can say that!" I didn't tell her that I mostly leave alone in my apartment.
"That's tragic!" She clicked her tongue "..you know what! you should've come to mafia brother's house. I would've made you one."
"You? At minor.. ahm.. my cousin's house?" I asked in surprise she nodded in yes.
"Thanks but...It's okay! I don't want to disturb you!"
I didn't said out loud but the truth is I can't do that. It'll be quite hustle for minor family's people to stand on guard as the first thing in the freaking morning.
"Oh it's nothing. It's me daily thing to prepare breakfast..."
"You made your own breakfast?" Why? I'm sure Vegas had people for that.
"Not only mine... for everyone." She bragged.
"For my cousins and Pete?"
"Yup and for your bloody..ahm.. blood related brother and their guards."
"You made breakfast for their guards too?" I was utterly dumbfounded.
"Umhm they need energy to follow you guys around!"
Now I'm thinking about accepting her invitation. I will go to the minor mansion and see the rare sight for myself.
"You only have two days to come.." She murmured lightly.
"Hm?"
"Nothing!"
Was that an ultimatum? I don't think so...
.
"So what was the song?" I asked again.
She thought for a second then threw her head back and laugh.
.
Ting~
"Oh it's Morocco!"
Morocco?
"He's saying that brother already left the college... And he himself have some evening classes..." She looked bothered by something.
"I guess it's only me now... Time to go!" She grabbed her bag and stood up.
"Good bye Han! Thanks for hanging out with me!"
"Anytime!" I nodded with a smile and she left.
I keep my eyes on her back until she turned around and disappear.
"Goodbye sister-in-law!" I whispered to myself.
Only if I didn't have classes for myself, I would personally drop her off to Vegas's house.
But that doesn't mean I will let her go alone. Not after what happened last night.
I dialed the number of the only free guy we had in our family. I know he will take her, even if he had to leave the class in the middle, just for fun's sake.
[What do you want?]
I inwardly laughed in disbelief when Porsche didn't even bother himself to say 'hello'. I know he's good at heart but he never treats me right. And that's what makes our relationship, fun - not that I will admit it out loud.

Nanon's POV:
My friend looked like as if he's on the verge of crying.
"In the morning I was heartbroken.
In the noon Khun was moping around the whole college.
In the evening....."
I glanced at Bright who hit my arm, reading me mind.
Hehehehe!
Bright and I found him sitting in the garden area on the stone table. Watching us coming closer, Khun's guards went back to sit on another table.
"Why are you being like this, as if you got a hundred loose screws in your head!" I asked playfully.
"Did you guys see, right? How she glared at me?" He made a pouty face.
"Yes we saw that! Even a person facing their enemy of a hundred years old would not glare like that." Bright said while covering his laugh.
"She even yelled at me." He turned into a forlorn person.
"I know right! Did she swallowed a loud speaker or something? How dare she yelled at you?" I patted his back lightly.
"But she's pretty."
"But she's pr.." Bright and I exchange unsure looks. I think we heard him wrong...or right?
"Even when she glare at me, she's pretty. Even when she yelled at me, she's pretty. Even her feet, swollen from walking all day, are pretty. Even her sweaty hair sticking to her head is pretty!"
"Oh my gosh.." Bright gave him a stupefaction look.
"Good grief!" I exclaimed while chuckling, he looked up.
"I think she's treating me this way because I don't have dimples." His eyes were fixed on my... cheeks?
I blinked in bewilderment and Bright burst out laughing. From the corner of my eyes I found his guards covering their mouths with fists. I saw their vibrating shoulders as if they were laughing without making any sound.
Great!
"I just want my runaway Amy back!" Khun cried out.
"Fair play to leader!" Bright muttered with a smile!
"Yeah wish you a best of luck..." I smiled "...with her!" Then added teasingly.
Both Bright and I did a high-five making him irritated on purpose.
He stood up shouting and yelling something about us not being good friends, and idiots. Then he start throwing tantrum, kicking us a few times equally.
We burst out laughing even more as he was struggling in his tight jeans. Who knew kicking someone could be this hard!
Hahahahahahaaa~~~
____
Porsche's POV:
Kim requested me, so there's no way I would say no to him. Do I? Hahaha..
I found her outside her department, looking up at something... or someone.
I followed her line of vision and found two boys on the first floor. They were trying to get her attention while leaning forward from the railing.
She looked kinda nervous to me, giving to her humming and hawing as if she wanted to leave but couldn't..
I need to step up for her rescue like a super hero.
This girl is like a magnet - attracting troubles wherever she goes.
"Hide behind my back!" She got startled when I jumped down the stairs and landed right beside her.
"You!" She pursed her lips in exasperation.
"Will you please just wait there? We're coming down." The boys upstairs shouted to get her attention back.
"I kinda need some briefing on... whatever this is going on." I put my hands on my back.
"I'm not so sure myself..." She mumbled unsurely.
"Then hide behind my back."
"Why?" She asked but did as I asked. Cutesy!
"It was my life-long dream to have a little sister to whom I can protect like a big brother, and beat the hell out of any boy who tries to woo her in front of my eyes."
I turned my neck to see her reaction and slightly got distracted, seeing a little cut on her lower lip. I am not going to ask the story behind it as it was just a tiny cut, it'll be gone in a day or two.
As for her reaction... Well she was making a sceptic face while rubbing the side of her long neck.
"Every single playboy exists on the planet, Earth would be gone only if I had a sister." I added jokingly.
"Incredible!" She clapped her hands a few times.
"Hi there!" The stupid boys landed just to interrupt our banters.
"What do you want?" I asked authoritatively to both Loony and Loopy.
In this short time those are the only names that pop into my mind.
"We just want to talk to her." They replied obediently.
"Okay go ahead!" I slide aside so that they can have a face to face talk.
"..." She gave me a critical look while shooting glares at me. Ouch!
I grinned unabashedly and crossed my arms over my chest.
"We became your fans after watching your performance yesterday."
"You are a hot topic on social media. Everyone is posting about you on our college's page."
"But we couldn't get to know your name..."
"What's your name?"
"Can I have your number?"
They opened their stupid mouths together and talked back and forth.
"Aaa...ummmm..." She glanced at me for some help, but I lifted my eyebrows as if I couldn't understand her, at all. Hehe
"We even went to the Music club but Kim does not give us your number let alone your good name.."
One of them complains while making a pitiable face. A kind of face that I would love to hit as soon as I saw one.
And it was expected from Kim. That little fox never shares his knowledge.
"Both of you look good together." The other one gave a free compliment.
Wait! He was referring to whom?
"Thanks?" She tried to force a smile but failed miserably.
"Yeah match-made-in-heaven type. A perfect pair, you and Kim."
"WHAT!!" Amy and I shouted out loud in a perfect sync.
"You and Kim are together. Everyone is talking about you guys." Loony informed us.
"Why are you getting surprised? You performed with him because you guys are together, right?" Loopy looks uncertain.
Now that I have enough fun, I moved forward and grabbed both the stupid matchmakers by their perfectly ironed collars.
"Say that again!" I glared at them equally.
"Woah! What are you doing? Let them go!" Amy stepped forward to stop me.
I waited for her to grab my arm to pull me back but she just stood still, clenching her bag's strips tightly.
She looked timidly nervous. Well she shouldn't be... especially when I'm close to her.
"I don't want either of you near her!" I sneered at them and gave a jerk before letting go, they stumbled back a few steps getting befuddled by me "..otherwise.." I moved my thumb against my neck to give those fools a silent threat.
"Let's go! my skin and blister." I turned my neck to address her.
.
We walked away.
"I've never ever met any nonsensically crackbrained person like you." She criticized me while pressing on each and every word.
"Then why don't you go ahead and put me on a pedestal!" I took that as a compliment and laughed out loud.
"You're..." She thought for a word "..impossible!" She rolled her eyes and walked ahead.
I caught her instantly thanks to my long legs.
"Why are you following me?"
"I'm gonna take you to Vegas's den." I informed her shortly and walked ahead.
"Thanks but no thanks! I can go myself."
"My dear sista! Whatever makes you think that I was asking you!" I turned back to give her a sweet smile.
"I will not..." She was saying but stop hearing my cellphone ringing.
Ring~
Even then I hold up a finger, singling her to shut her mouth. She gave me a look but didn't open her mouth to complain.
Oh dear! Only if someone knew how much I love to tease her.
Ring~
Kinn was calling me so I had to pick up no matter what. I smiled at the screen then looked up at her.
"I'll be back in a minute. Don't go anywhere!" I said urgently and she replied with an eye roll.
.
.
Seriously!!
I left for only one damn minute and she disappeared!!
I run around to look for her, but she was nowhere to be found.
Fine!
It was two minutes and forty seven seconds.. but did she really need to runaway?
.
I stopped near the parking area and saw one... actually two familiar figures.
All jokes aside!
I left her for less than three minutes and she found herself an alarmingly interesting company.
As I said before...
She's like a walking magnet!
