Her POV
After staying at the hotel, we went to the mall since it was Tuesday and I'm already cleared with all of my subjects. I was surprised when someone texted me because I'm more active on social media than texting, and the number is also not saved in my contacts. Hmm, this is not Renz since I already added him with his full name, and I scoffed thinking about that.
Hi. :) —Secret Admirer (he/him)
I laughed, thinking about how he introduced himself. I added him to my contacts and saved him as, Mr. Secret Admirer. I'm not really adding strangers into my contacts, but I feel like I know this person.
Hello? Who you? Scammer?
Hahaha. No, someone you know. :)
Hahaha. Introduce yourself then.
No. I want to stay this way. This way, we're not awkward.
Funny. Fine, if you say so.
Trust me. I'm not harmful. :)
Prove it. Hahaha.
I was surprised when my phone rang. Wow, he really called. There's no harm in answering, right? Risa and Hail went to the comfort room, so I'm waiting for them outside when my phone rang, which made me surprised.
"Hello?"
"Hi."
The voice on the other side of the phone is obviously smiling when I answered.
"Why do you have my number?" For sure, Renz is the one who did this. That's for sure. He laughed and answered, "Renz gave it to me." The one I'm talking with on the other side of the phone is none other than Yuki. I'm right, though he doesn't need to call for something like this.
"I guessed it right then," I smilingly told him, until I realized that Risa and Hail is already beside me.
"Your surrounding is noisy. You're not at home?" He asked me, while I'm feeling embarrassed since these two are grinning at me. "Yeah, I'm not at home. I'm at the mall." Although this is true, I found a reason to hang up when I noticed that these two looked shocked. I turned around and my face began to look shocked like theirs.
No way, right?
He laughed and said, "Surprise?" The man I'm talking to on the other side of the phone is now in front of me. Is this fate? Nuh-uh. "Yeah," I said and laughed.
"Renz sent me your contact details, even your social media account, " he said as he smiled. As I thought, it's Renz, who definitely needs a beating the moment I see him next time.
"I added you, so accept it, 'kay?" I would not even be able to refuse with that smile, you know? "Sure. Anyway, we need to go. Our family's waiting for us," I told him and was about to tell Risa and Hail to go when he suddenly asked, "Are you, by any chance, eating somewhere?" I have a feeling that this person will go with us, but I can't seem to lie with his smile. Yes, I'm weak about that. (T-T)
"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!!
