Chapter 402: ◙ HANSEL ◙

Chapter 08

Yanarym apologized as she was picking the book. The man who she bumped into looked at her with annoyed eyes. But then, Yanarym abruptly raised her head and met his glare. Immediately, he smiled, dispersing all of the hostility in his eyes. Yanarym thought for a second that she was imagining things. This man was so angelic-looking that it seemed impossible for him to shoot such deadly eyes to someone... but then, she remembered Lapil - same vibes but different person and personality. Like Lapil and this stranger belonged to the same category of a seraphic face but devilish mind.

"Are you alright?" He asked, concerned. She bobbed her head and examined his whole appearance. He was wearing dark-blue long-sleeves with white collared polo inside the sleeves. Matching with brown pants and dark leather shoes. A scholar’s hair that was neatly combed with a docile and charming smile with a face of an angel and concerned calm steel-gray eyes that matched his jet-black hair. "Let me help you." He offered a hand for her to stand up but Yanarym didn’t take it at first and gulped. She extended her arm and he took it.

"...the male lead?" She asked in her head, blinking at the man towering over her. It’s like there was a warning ringing on her head while making eye contact with this handsome stranger.

Guide-sama: "Yes."

As if she was burnt by the touch of their skin Yanarym retracted her arm, "Oh shit, no, shit!" She exclaimed on her head, bolting away from him as fast as she could. She was not ready to encounter the male lead at all! This was not on her plan at all, how could this happen! Again, why does things don’t go her way if she wants to?! She has a perfect plan in her mind on how she would encounter Hansel the first time. It was perfect. However, that plan goes to her trash bin...

Guide-sama: "Why did you run away?"

"Because! I made the wrong impression!" She said panting when she was far away from the male lead. "This isn’t how we should meet!"

Guide-sama: "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?! That male lead is sick on his head! Once he dislikes someone he will surely not like them anymore! Oh gosh, it took three -- almost four years for Gale to get his attention and I ruined my first impression in 3 seconds!!" She uttered hysterically, "That psycho male lead will never show ill-intention!"

Guide-sama: " Yanarym, calm down. He’s the male lead of a romance genre, what can he do?"

"Have you really processed the plot?! Why are you asking me what he can do?!"

Guide-sama: "I did but I don’t understand the complexity of human emotion."

"He is worse than Spencer! That Hansel male lead has no heart! No heart! He has no mercy for the same species! The only attachment he has in this world is when he falls in love with Gale!"

"What made that worse? Of course, it’s worse! Because he is like an angel, the perfect man for everyone! That is when you got on his good side! But did you see that, did you?! Those mocking eyes! He glared at me!"

"It’s over! He’s no longer my prospect! No! I will find someone better! Brr... just thinking about it, he’s a real pain in the ass male lead."

Guide-sama: "Why are you so worked up? You’ve seen syndicates and warriors. You killed a human yourself too, what’s so special about him?"

"Did you not hear me?! I SAID, HE IS SICK IN HIS HEAD! HE’S A FUCKING PSYCHOPATH! Which one of my recent encounters HAS a crazy mind?!" Guide-sama paused, Yanarym wrinkled her forehead.

Guide-sama: "...Do you want me to answer that?"

"Are you serious?"

Guide-sama: "I think every man you had encountered was already insane. But I can name each one who was crazy associated with you if you want to, number one is you."

"....Guide-sama,"

Guide-sama: "yes?"

"Shut UP!"

Around 10 o’clock Gale remembered that Yanarym would come to the library to see her but they forgot to set the time when they should meet. She texted her after taking a break as she rested her hand that was already sore from writing too much. After two minutes there was no reply from Yanarym which was odd because she always replied within a minute. Waiting for five minutes, Gale tried calling her, but it was only ringing. At this point Gale started to be nervous, she knew Yanarym pretty well, that girl can’t be alone by herself. And without answering her phone something might have happened to her.

While Gale was going into a dreadful turmoil, Hansel was immersed with his thoughts that he didn’t notice that his upperclassman was calling him. "Excuse me, Hansel." The upper-classman decided to disturb Hansel’s attention on the book by covering the page he was reading with a ruler. He looked up at them and tilted his head asking, "what?"

"Your cell phone’s been ringing for some time now." The upperclassman said pointing at the phone vibrating on the table. Hansel shifted his gaze towards the phone and looked at the screen. The call ended and the wallpaper on the lock screen showed up, it was the photo of the girl he bumped into earlier. Since the phone has a passcode, he couldn’t open it to search for some info from the owner.

In their second-period dismissal, the second rank student from his department, Gale, asked him to join the study group that the upperclassman had created. Every student, member of this study group had made quite a lot of fame at their university. Each one had brought achievements from all over the world to praise their academic university students. Although Hansel did not need any recognition from anyone in these successful upperclassmen, he decided to partake in this group since Gale, the one who asked him, had piqued his interest.

Secretly, he’s been pursuing her. These past few days he made some adjustments and efforts to cross their path that would make them closer yet, Gale was so fixed on studying that she never even considered looking at him. Which was interesting, because she was so different from any other girls. Those who pretend not to be interested but are, in fact, attracted to him. Those who were eager and incessantly pushed their noses into his business. Others who adore him from afar, and those who despise him but were also into him.

Everyone around him feels a certain way about him. Not only girls but also boys... everyone has a different impression of him.

Yet, that one specific woman, Gale has never cared or even looked at him. It’s interesting... Nevertheless just this recent hour, he also found another interesting person. He was browsing on the history aisle, busy calming his nerves from the loud arguing group he joined the library to study with Gale. He detests loud people, and the group was debating certain issues from the country. It was noisy, it’s irking his nerves. They shouldn’t have come to the library if they were having an argument. This place is supposed to be tranquil, not a shouting venue. The group was making such chaotic disturbances.

While he was looking for books to appease his head. Someone, who was stupid enough bumped into him and fell on the floor. His nerves that were supposed to calm down once again started to get irritated. He looked at the person who fell on the floor and examined her from head to toe. She was dumbfounded and hurriedly cleaned up her mess while apologizing. She looked up, their eyes met. The impeccable hazel eyes peered straight to his soul, he knew this woman was calculating him within seconds of locking eyes. Which nettled him because he thought this kind of woman would use their pathetic situation to lure a man.

Surely, that woman is a beauty. She has light reddish long wavy hair. Her eyes are hazel with the tint of green, it was sparkling. Her nose is little but pointed, and her lips were painted with a dull-colored lipstick. Her pale complexion, which looks like she has a perfect distinction of a vampire--- who has no blood because of fairness. Fortunately, her cheeks had a tinged pinkish blush that gave her life. Otherwise, she would be like a gorgeous corpse. What a white complexion, does she ever walk outside and glaze her skin in the sun?

He smiled at her, hiding the malevolence exuding from him. He held out his hand to offer her support while standing. Yet, instead of taking his hand, he saw how her eyes widened when he took the initiative to grab her. Her expression screamed that she would feel torment if she ever touched his skin, she smacked away his hand then frenziedly crawled away from him. She stood up and ran like falling but contrived to get away within seconds.
