Chapter 12

Should I be grateful today? Because I really can be free from Leo. Even so, I still tried to sneak around like a thief when I left campus. Luckily again, I saw Verrel outside the campus who was already waiting for me.

About Alaska? Ah, the man came out first after saying a sentence that was painful enough for me to hear.

"Don't hide like that, I know you like being chased by men."

If only I didn't like him, I'd have kicked his ass before he could barely walk. He didn't like me and always called me every day if he passed him. Even so, I still consider it a big step forward because we can get a little closer.

Something else hurt yesterday too, the food I put in his locker he gave to Jack. It made me think that maybe he does it every day and never eats it. It's a shame, even though I made it very sincerely, but why would it be given to someone else. At least eat alone with him.

I let out a small sigh again, I ended up telling what I was going through, Verrel could only look at me sadly, I think he felt sorry for me, but still he seemed to blame me for harboring feelings for a man who never responded to me.

"Before liking someone, you should see their personality first." I glared not like hearing it, he suddenly came back and sat on the sofa. Made me stop chewing and take my eyes off the television that was on in front of me.

"Well, you don't have to talk about it anymore. I'm sorry to tell you."

He turned to me, trying to find something in my eyes. I don't know, maybe he thought that I was just making it up by saying I liked someone. Because, so far I've never really liked a man to that much.

"How can he not like you? You're beautiful, I thought normal men would be attracted to you."

It turned out to be the opposite of what I thought. Tch, normal men would like me he said? Well, maybe it's true, because the person I like is not a normal man, but a cold man.

"Have you ever liked someone?" I asked back, I saw he seemed to think which made me sigh.

"You don't have to answer, the look on your face makes it clear that you're still confused about your own feelings." I saw Verrell raise an eyebrow.

"Why is that?" He asked.

"Because if you like someone, then you will smile because your mind will immediately go to her. But, if you think about it like this first, chances are you are not sure about your feelings or you are not really in love with someone right now."

He clapped to hear my answer, "wow, then you just become a psychology." I smacked his head.

"Fool, you think being a psychologist is as easy as you think. Besides, I guess it wasn't my dream, I don't want to walk on people's dreams, now you understand?"

I received a small nod from him, we were both silent for a few seconds before he asked me everything.

"What's your dream?" Now it's me who seems to be thinking.

"Why don't you answer right away? You don't have dreams, do you?"

"Dream?" I smiled faintly after saying that, "I don't know, a life that doesn't match your dreams doesn't mean a failed life, and a life that matches your dreams doesn't mean a successful life."

"Wow! Where did you get such a sentence?!" I was surprised when he suddenly became enthusiastic, I chuckled afterward. I don't know, those words suddenly crossed my mind. But it's true, isn't it? Even if I live in my dream, it doesn't mean that everything is going right.

"That's what you don't know, just apply it to yourself that if you have a dream that you must achieve, then try but don't overdo it, just say hello to what is present in your life, and say goodbye to what will leave your life."

His gaze looked at me calmly, I saw that he was actually moved, the next second my body was embraced by him tightly, he gently rubbed my back as if channeling his positive energy. I slowly wrapped my arms around his waist, we both hugged tightly while reviewing a faint smile.

"You're an adult now, you used to always ask me to buy you candy when you cried. Now, you can be this strong by waking yourself up, you don't need candy anymore to stop your crying, you need yourself to hug you too. And also, as long as I being near you, I will definitely embrace you like this."

Hearing him touched me, I just nodded slightly in the crook of his neck, I felt his lips pressed against my forehead. Ah, it's been a long time and I just felt this way back from him. I think I really need a brother like him.

"I take my words back, I'm not blaming you for having one-sided feelings for that guy. So I'll be the first to beat him up if he hurts you."

He winced as I pinched his stomach a little. Sometimes he said things like that when I was in awe. All men are like that, right?

"Shut up and let it be my business, mind your own business and find a girl from now on."

"I haven't found one like you." I pinched his stomach again, but this time he just chuckled in response.

"You'll have a hard time finding it, I'm a limited edition."

"Well, I understand, but there could still be someone like you out there, right?"

"Find it if you can, but I promise you there's no one like me."

"Well, then you just become my lover." This time I pinched his stomach until he winced loudly.

"Stupid, I'm your stupid sister! Once again you say that I will chop your intestines."

"Hey, I'm just kidding, anyway I don't want to be with you, you are a fierce girl, not my type at all."

"I'm not going to cook for you anymore," I started to get up from there carrying my annoyed face.

"Hey, I was just kidding, Angel." He also got up and followed my steps, I accelerated my pace until I managed to enter the room and closed it. Finally I can laugh out loud.
