Chapter 18

Why does Hansel’s smile look chilling?! Is he mad when she bumped him or when she called him a spider?! Or BOTH?!

"Oh! Yes! I remember! I’m sorry for calling you a spider. I was really not in the mood that day so I ended up loading my shit on you." She said sweetly while looking directly into his eyes.

It’s really pretty. Although Spencer’s blue eyes are more appealing to her. The male lead’s steel grey eyes are really alluring and charming. It gives him the innocent vibe that could fool you by his true nature... A yandere.

His pinkish lips formed a charismatic smile. "Swearing doesn’t suit you." He said, chuckling like a handsome heartthrob. It’s more appealing to see but like fire and she’s the moth -- she doesn’t want to become a moth.

One wrong move, she’ll burn herself. Spencer has a devilish good-looking face. Hansel was more of a mixture of a Greek god and an arch-angel heavenly feature.

No wonder that in horror crime stories she had read, the more innocent you look the more likely you are the culprit. For the reason that in reality, you could never suspect an angel kills anyone. Come to think of it, even Lucifer was once the most beautiful angel in heaven, right?

"It’s just an expression," she replied, "anyways, I am really sorry if I offended you or anything. That will never happen again." Cause she will not appear before your eyes!

"You don’t have to be sorry, I was not offended. I actually wanted to talk to you but we got so busy that I could not spare some time to visit you."

"Why?... Why visit me?"

"I just wanted to talk," he said boyishly then smiled at her. This charming man! YOU CAN’T FOOL HER! SHE’LL NEVER GET HYPNOTIZED NO MATTER HOW CUTE, GORGEOUS OR HANDSOME YOU ARE!

"By the way, Rym, how about your boyfriend? Did you both fight?"

"It’s nothing, he was just being clingy while I was reading."

"So, you got mad at him?"

"No, he got jealous with the book and walked out."

"What?" Gale laughed, "He’s being cute. I see that your relationship is still improving."

"I think so too," she nodded and heard her phone ringing. She took it out of her pocket and saw that Spencer was calling. "Speaking of the devil, he’s calling. I’ll answer this first."

"Go on." Gale signaled her to take up the call so she did.

"Are you still in the cafeteria?" This was the greeting he said once she answered the phone. His tone seems still irritated but somehow calmed down.

"Yes." She replied.

Spencer: "I’ll fetch you there, it’s almost time for the next class, let’s go together."

"You’re no longer mad?"

"I’m still mad, I’ll tab this and make you pay later tonight." She can imagine his grinning face. Yanarym frowned and rolled her eyes, THIS HORNY MAN!

Ending the call Yanarym started to pack her things on the table. Hansel was watching her in silence from the moment answered the phone until she bid goodbye to Gale. She smiled at him and said her parting words in a hurry.

She said that she doesn’t remember him despite the fact that she treats him so differently than Gale. He can clearly see how she tried to avoid their eye contact. He can perceive the distance that she’s setting between the two of them.

He sneered seeing her turn her back on him after she told him goodbye, she did not even look him in the eyes. She undeniably detached herself from being in contact with him.

The day that he met her, he decided to take some interest in her. However, he got busy with his own department event for the entire university. It is not a sudden event, every year, by the month of April, the Dean will choose which department will be leading for the annual fest.

The fest was always held before the summer break. The end of the academic year was just days passed and everyone could have their vacation.

This year, including their final requirements to pass they also need to organize the fest, which every student was looking for before leaving the campus behind. Hansel was assigned as the president for orchestrating the said event. Gale was chosen by default to assist Hansel with everything.

That’s why they’ve been together from thereon.

Gale, who was aware of Hansel’s interest in her friend, was being asked once in a while what she is like, what she likes, who she’s with, how she lives, and so on. He is obviously charmed by Yanarym although he denied that he would get involved in her life.

For example, after they met Yanarym from the cafeteria he started to question her, regarding Yanarym’s boyfriend, which she knew he was trying not to mention before.

"Why are you asking about him?" Gale asked in return. Hansel looks at her and widens his smile.

"I’m curious," he answered, placing his bag on the swivel chair. "Your friend was the type of girl who needed to be taken care of like a child, right? I wonder what kind of man she’s dating."

Finishing lunch together they both headed to one of the meeting areas behind the library where they could uphold meeting for the incoming event. The conference room was large enough to accommodate twenty-five people maximum. There were only the two of them since the meeting will start at one-thirty o’clock.

Gale set up the laptop and projector for the final discussion that they are going to settle in this meeting. Hansel assisted her by arranging the print-outs for the program and the role assignments.

"You don’t have to worry about that, Rym’s boyfriend has been taking care of her ever since they’ve been together. You can say that he’s like her guardian and lover at the same time." Gale said nonchalantly.

"You said, she became an orphan after college." Hansel asked...

"Yeah, although her tuition was paid until graduation. Her daily necessities were provided by her boyfriend. She basically cannot live without him."

"You can never say that," Hansel said as a remark. Gale remained silent after hearing that, she took a glance at Hansel’s back that’s facing her and turned on the projector.

"I told you, you can’t like Yanarym. She’s taken." She said with a serious tone whilst the silence was dominating the atmosphere.

Hansel smiled and took a seat on the head of the table. "Why are you being strict with me? It’s not like I will pursue her."

"I think that I should remind you again. Please, don’t cause trouble for my friend."

"How could I cause her trouble?"

"Hansel, you are popular. Rym can’t handle the limelight, especially as you are known as the bachelor who doesn’t associate with women romantically. If it spreads that you like her, what do you think would happen?"

"Being so negative, really? I merely adore her from a distance. It’s not like I have time to have fun with her."

Gale was not satisfied with Hansel’s words. He said those, but he is not the kind of person who will easily lose something. He is one of those who never show their true color and always smiles on the outside but when they get serious about something, it’s terrifying to see what they can do.

Before being associated with him in this big project, she had some impression of him. Later that she’s been standing by his side almost 24/7 for three weeks. She had been given the opportunity to keenly observe him.

Her impression of him went a hundred and eighty degrees of change. He is not the type of person you could get in his way. Defying him would cause you misfortunes and troubles. It may be just a presumption, but she thinks that he deliberately showed her his other side to warn her not to disobey or ridicule him in any way.

"Good afternoon senior Hansel! Senior Gale." They both shifted their eyes on the newcomers. Not long after the conference began to get crowded so the meeting got started.

Spencer was lying sideways on the bed next to Yanarym. He’s watching her intently without any noise. It’s past nine o’clock and their last class ended at five. They had dinner outside and went straight home. They took a bath together and after that steamy shower, they lay on the bed.

She started reading again, and he had nothing else to do than to observe her.

"How long does it take for you to finish that book?" He asked.

"I will be done by midnight." She replied instantly.

Spencer’s lips formed a line. He took her one hand, placed it on the top of his head, and pulled her waist closer to his body. She does not protest and lets him manipulate her position.

He rested his chin on her shoulder, snaked his legs around her thigh.
