chapter 19
Anton was busy on telling me that I need to eat faster or else we'll get late for our first class, but I can't seem to care because all I can focus on right now while he was busy talking was his lips, and how cute his lips corners looked like every time he talks.
"The corner of your lips look really pretty, Anton." I couldn't help but say out loud. Even feeling a bit embarrassed after realizing what I just blurted out.
"I just told you a lot of things, but that's all you're gonna say?" Anton shot back with a glare, but his already reddening face was fast enough to betray him. He really is so adorable, getting shy by just a simple compliment.
After eating, my Ma reminded Anton again to check on me tonight since I'll be alone. Of course, she did that while my father wasn't here or else I'll get caught that I am pursuing a guy that he has already treated as his own son.
"Seatbelt's on, yuyu?" he asked as soon as we were inside his car, while I gave him a thumbs up.
"Is it bad if I tell you that I got so pissed off when Bora sat here instead of me? Your very own passenger princess?" I asked, in a joking manner, and Anton couldn't help but laugh at the memory.
"That's why I told you to be more selfish of me. And to be honest, I also didn't really like the idea of having another person sit there if it wouldn't be you," Anton answered. He even glanced at me when we stopped because of the red light.
"You are becoming more bold now, Anton lee." I joked again, and I was shocked that Anton just laughed a bit but was still staring at me with a smile on his face. This guy. How dare he look so cute right now?
"Eyes on the road, Anton." I reminded him, and I was glad when he did because I was already losing the confidence I mustered from how intent his gaze was a while ago. I can also feel my heart beating so fast.
Damn. He really is bad for my health.
Our friends were fast enough to welcome us when we reached our campus. It's funny, because we just saw each other yesterday but we act as if we missed each other so much.
Well, except for one person.
"Hi, Anton!" Bora greeted Anton immediately, and I wanted to tell her to stop going near him, but I stopped myself. I really am being so insecure and immature right now when she doesn't even do anything out of the ordinary.
I don't want to bring any toxicity around Anton, that's why I am trying my best to control my jealousy. He doesn't deserve to get treated the same way his ex treated him. He deserves the best, that's why I'm trying to be better.
"Sungchan's MIA again. I can't bear him always missing, imagine once he enters the military. I don't think I can be a military wife." Eunseok joked like he was the wife of my brother who'll be left behind.
"You can, if you adopt me as your child," Rina joked as well.
"You do know that he can get exempted if he ever win an olympic medal," Shotaro said, and the others couldn't help but agree. Because knowing my brother, he'll do anything he can to be able to win that medal.
"I want him to enlist though. So that I can stop seeing his face for at least 2 years," I joked as well which made Shotaro and the others laugh out loud.
"I will be reporting this to Sungchan, Yumi." Shotaro told me in a playful manner, but I just stuck my tongue out at him.
"Imagine Wonbin in the military though," Sohee said. And the girls of course reacted violently.
"They can't take our princess from us!" Dohee exclaimed, and that earned her a smack from Wonbin who didn't like being called a princess.
"Let's enlist together, Sohee. I'll protect you," Seunghan with his usual heart eyes for Sohee told the poor guy even telling him to leave him alone, but of course Seunghan ran after Sohee with his lips pouted while Sohee just told Seunghan to stay away jokingly.
"Yo, guys. I need to head to my class. We'll all meet later, right?" Anton asked.
"Sure!" Bora answered quickly.
"Nope! I can't later. Sorry, guys." Wonbin was fast enough to answer, and I already know the answer why. But what shocked me was when all the others said that they can't go too. That's strange. The boys never said no to hang outs. Or maybe they're just really busy?
"Oh, then we'll have to move it some other time then. Is that fine with you?" Anton asked Bora with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Why not take this opportunity to just go with just the 2 of us then?" Bora asked in a joking manner, and what shocked me was when Anton and I made eye contact for just a split second, but I can already tell that he looked like he was asking for my help, so I decided to finally step in.
"Actually, this guy can't. We have a project in ARTS 1 that we need to do. So, let's all hang out next time." I told Bora, even clinging my arm to Anton's arm with a smile on my lips as I look at Bora who looked like she's clearly pissed by my interruption.
"Okay. Next time, we'll surely go on a date!" she said with a smile on her face now, and I can only commend her for quickly changing her emotions. She excused herself first, and the others also left, while Anton and me stood there watching them all go.
"That's my girl," Anton whispered near my ear, before finally walking away. Fuck. He really isn't good for my health!
After a long day of class, I was glad to be able to finally go back home. It was not an easy day, especially because I shared a class with Bora earlier. It was a creative writing major class where we needed to write a poem on the spot. It wasn't easy because I can't focus by how loud she was and she kept on talking to me.
But even though I'm tired, I was waiting excitedly for what Jiwoo was trying to tell us earlier before we all left campus. And without even waiting for a few minutes after I plugged in my phone, our groupchat was already active again, but this time it was the one without the boys, except Wonbin of course.
strictly girlies only 🎀

gurl 😭😭😭😭
but does she actually copies me ?? i dont even remember anything.
we dont even follow each other in any of our social media acc.
jiwoo
babe, she does. ok this is gonna be long but pls read it!!!!
she just doesn't show it to you, but i can see it. she poses the same way you pose in your posts minutes after you share a picture in your instagram. and from what i heard, shes a former business student who shifted to creative writing because one of her "friends" said from my investigationg that bora wants to know someone there, bora even made her dad pay the director to have her admitted here. SHE EVEN COPIES THE WAY YOU TALK W THAT SOFT VOICE OF URS WHEN SHE LITERALLY WASNT LIKE THAT WHEN WE FIRST MET HER LIKE ????
wonbin
no way cos i also noticed it too. she wears the same outfit as yumi too but i never know how bora got to know what she wears so i assumed that it's all a coincidence also ngl thats kinda creepy w how she lied abt her course actually being creative writing when it wasnt.
yumi
wtf why am only finding all these out now
and wait. is that the reason why she asks me what i'll be wearing for the next day??? theres this one time she got angry that i wore something different from the outfit i told her i'll be wearing 💀
rina
she even asked me to be her bestie too after i told her that im your bestie, i thought it was just a joke but now that i think of it, she might be serious. what the fuck???
dohee
i told yall somethings fishy about that girl. AND SHE DARES TRY TO TARGET MY BABY YUMI??? IM GONNA SHOW HER HOW MUCH OF A BITCH I AM RN
yumi
dohee no
we still need more evidences bc our claims arent even that deep yet.
dohee
but i dont want her hanging out w us anymore 😔💔💔💔💔
jiwoo
me too. but yumis right. we need a more solid reason to finally kick her out of the group for good.
wonbin
as we should. since i really have a bad feeling about her. like she'll do something soon if we dont act fast.
rina
i'll be the one to kick her ass myself if she tries to do something bad 😁🔪
I put my phone down as I went to open my laptop to stalk Hwang Bora. I never knew that she was copying my posts and captions because I never looked at her account since we weren't following each other.
Jiwoo was right. Bora was really copying my posts. It was creepy with how accurate she is in copying my poses and even the background! How the hell was she able to do something like this?
I am not that affected, but it still is creepy. I decided to block her account so she won't see my posts anymore and I even decided to have all my accounts on private. I felt safer this way. I decided to exit the tab and focus on my guest instead.
I don't know what my Ma wants since she always asks Anton to take care of me every time I am left alone in our house. Sungchan has once again an out of the city match so he won't be coming home until this Saturday, while my parents had to visit my grandparents again because of my grandma's health. I am once again left alone because I still have uni classes tomorrow.
"Kissy!" I was shocked when I heard Anton's voice behind me, and I could only smile when I saw him snuggling with Kissy. That cat really adores Anton so much, to the point that I wanna give her to him.
But of course, I won't. I love Kissy so much even though she doesn't really like me. Damn. What's with me liking people who doesn't like me back?
"Can you stay here for tonight?" I asked, and at first I thought he'd decline, but I was shocked when Anton agreed.
"I'll sleep on the sofa to keep watch." He told me seriously, and I wanted to slap my palm to my face. Of course. What did I even expect from this guy?
"I was actually trying to flirt with you, Anton. But, yeah. You can keep watch." I told him in a sarcastic manner, but deep down I was joking. I actually find this side of him really adorable.
"What else can I do here?"
"Yeah, what else could we even do, huh?" I asked back sarcastically, not really in the mood to act flirty with him anymore since I can feel my body already tired from a long day.
"Hey, stop with those jokes, yuyu." I looked back and saw Anton looking away immediately, but it only gave me a proper view of his already reddening ear and neck. Oh. So he wasn't exactly clueless, he was trying to act like it because he's shy.
Adorable.
"How can you make me like you more and more as the days went by? Do you think there's a possibility that I'll have this effect on you too someday?" I asked, and I was being genuine. I wasn't joking or flirting around. I really like Anton. I really do... so much that it hurts.
"Please wait a bit more, Yuyu." Anton answered with that soft and gentle voice of his, and he was now facing me. I can see a flash of guilt in his eyes, that was enough to make me look away. He sounded so gentle, but it still hurt me a bit.
"And you know it's fine if you won't ever, right? Just this sem, and I promise I'll stop." I told him, before smiling. I don't want Anton to feel responsible if ever he actually doesn't end up liking me.
It's not his fault. The heart can't be forced.
In the end, Anton and I ended up both laying down on the sofa. Good thing it was big enough for the both of us.
"I feel like I'm gonna pass out." He suddenly blurted out, and I wanted to laugh because of how flushed his face looked like this very moment. It almost looked like he had a blush on.
"You do that, because I'll be sleeping. Good night," I told him before turning my back as I close my eyes. But of course, I couldn't sleep. Not when he's beside me.
I let out a deep sigh before sitting down. I feel like I've pushed my way towards him again. This is too much. Because then again, who'd really want to sleep beside me? Heck, even Jihan didn't want to in the past if there's nothing that will happen between us in the end.
"I was just kidding, Anton. I'm going upstairs now," I told him before finally getting up, but I was shocked when he suddenly grabbed my arm and made me go back to my original position.
I looked at him confusingly, and I can see by the use of the dim light that he was already as red as a tomato. He's so adorable.
"Stay here... you're warm." he whispered, almost out of breath, so I didn't tease him. Instead, I just did what I was told.
A smile slipped from my lips. Anton wants to sleep beside me after all.
I woke up feeling extremely thirsty, and I was even a bit shocked because I realized that I wasn't in my room and I have someone beside me right now. Then I finally realized what happened.
Sofa, Anton, sleeping beside each other.
I glanced at the guy beside me, and I can't help but smile again.
Anton was still sleeping, right beside me. but he wasn't facing me, his back was. so i took the opportunity to lift my finger and trace the words, 'i like you' on his back, please anton... please like me back before the sem ends. I almost let out a yelp when the next thing I know was that anton was already on top of me, holding my wrist as he stares back at me, shocked. i couldn't breathe, he was too close, but the problem with was the fact that I didn't want him to move away. not at all.
Are we about to kiss? Or am I just thinking and assuming things again? I can't move and I feel so fucking nervous. Because if incase my first thought was right, then this would be my first kiss with my first love. Anton must have noticed how nervous I was because he suddenly grabbed my hand and placed it on top of his chest near his also fast beating heart, the same exact way my heart was beating right this very moment, before whispering the words, "don't worry, im nervous too, yuyu."
to be continued. . .
