Chapter 36
Plus, Zeline asks to be taught a course that the girl doesn’t understand. Kalea is not the type of person who is stingy with knowledge, she is very happy to share the knowledge she has learned. She thinks there is no point in keeping knowledge for yourself. After all, making someone happy makes Kalea happy too.
Kalea and Zeline are getting closer, sometimes they even talk on campus. Because of that closeness, Aluna and several other children began to feel strange.
“Lea! Let’s go to the cafeteria!” Aluna was very cheerful.
“Okay, just a minute,” Kalea said as she tidied up her books. After that, they went to the cafeteria just the two of them.
They decided to sit in the corner of the room.
“Lea,” Aluna called after they were silent for a long time.
“Hmm?” Kalea said with a smile.
“It seems you’ve been close to Zeline lately, huh?” Aluna asked, to the point. Every day, Aluna always gets questions and assumptions from other friends who are curious about the closeness of Kalea and Zeline. As if being heated by them made Aluna keep thinking about it.
.....
“Eh? Ah ... just normal, really,” replied Kalea, smiling awkwardly.
“Lies! You know you can’t lie to me!” Aluna replied, pursed her lips. Kalea just laughed blandly, Aluna’s sensitivity was extraordinary.
“But I’ll be honest, Luna. We’re only friends because of the group assignment.”
“Hee~ really?”
Kalea nodded as she stirred the drink that had arrived. “After being friends with her, she’s not what she looks like or what everyone’s talked about, really. Even though she’s arrogant but she’s caring,” Kalea said, saying that honestly from the bottom of her heart.
Aluna was silent, looking unsure of Kalea’s words about Zeline. The beautiful girl with blonde hair was already known by the whole campus if Zeline often play with men who were much older than her.
“You don’t want to try befriending her too?” Kalea asked, suddenly making Aluna frown.
“Huh? Me?”
Kalea nodded, not realizing that Aluna didn’t like the haughty girl. Even really avoid getting close to Zeline because of the myriad of rumors that follow the girl. Aluna smiled lightly, she shook her head quickly. “No, thank you. After all, she’s very arrogant. You know, she thinks other people are like trash,” replied Aluna curtly.
“It seems that the parable is too evil, Luna. From what I see, she is a lonely person.”
“And need company, huh?” You just be friends with her! I don’t want it!” Aluna replied, unconsciously her voice slightly raised. Kalea was surprised by her friend’s response. Several people turned to Kalea and Aluna’s table because of the commotion. “You too, why are you defending her so much?” Aluna asked, annoyed.
“Ah ... I’m just a little sorry that Zeline is looked down upon by others,” Kalea replied, feeling a little guilty for forcing Aluna to think that Zeline was actually a good person.
Aluna snorted in annoyance, looking at Kalea seriously. “If you’re really friends with her, are the rumors about Zeline true? If she’s the mistress of a lot of guys?” Aluna asked.
Kalea was silent for a moment, she swallowed her saliva. She was confused about how to answer Aluna’s question.
“You didn’t know?” Aluna asked again.
“That’s none of my business, I can’t judge how her life is. I’m also sure, if she did that, there must be a reason,” Kalea replied firmly. Aluna just rolled her eyes lazily, indifferent to Kalea’s thoughts.
“It’s up to you, I actually don’t want to forbid you from being friends with anyone. But! Be careful with her. You could be offered by her to follow in that person’s footsteps,” Zeline warned. Kalea just nodded with a bitter smile.
It turns out that Aluna doesn’t suspect that Kalea has entered into the same job as Zeline.
They finally switched to another topic while eating their own food. Kalea’s face became sad, Aluna’s statement made her sad. She couldn’t imagine if Aluna found out that Kalea had become a sugar baby, a man with an age difference of up to twelve years. Aluna must be disappointed and not want to be friends with her anymore. Seeing Aluna’s reaction, she looked down on Zeline so much.
***
After returning home from college, Kalea has another guest, Zeline. They went back to studying together, even though Zeline played a lot on her cellphone and didn’t even pay attention to Kalea when she explained material that the blonde girl didn’t understand. Kalea watched Zeline, who was laughing while typing a message to someone.
Kalea has been patient with Zeline’s behavior. However, she didn’t want to nag too much. Kalea took a deep breath and then decided to focus on studying on her own to let Zeline stay with her cellphone.
At nine o’clock in the evening, they were still engrossed in their books.
“Ah, I’m tired!” Zeline said, again complaining. Even though she had just ten minutes to read a book after hours of playing on the cellphone. Kalea ignored her and remained focused. “Hey, aren’t you tired?” Zeline asked, to talk with the girl who was wearing glasses.
“If you have no intention of studying, there is no need to force it,” said Kalea casually.
“Can it really be like that? So far I’ve never studied,” Zeline replied as she lay down on the bean bag.
“No wonder.”
“What do you mean?!”
“You haven’t been able to focus all this time because the phone is still in your hand,” said Kalea with a straight face.
“What else can we do-”
“Oh, you’re studying together?”
The bass and sexy voices began to sound, the two beautiful girls immediately turned to the owner of the voice.
“You’re home? Why come back here?” Zeline asked impolitely. Arthur snapped his finger at Zeline’s forehead.
“Why do you rule my life, huh? This is my house with Lea,” Arthur replied.
Zeline sighed in annoyance as she rubbed her forehead. “Tch, home. It’s as if you two are husband and wife,” the girl muttered quietly.
“You didn’t tell me Zeline was coming here,” Arthur said to Kalea. The man took off his black coat and loosened his tie, Arthur looked very attractive and sexy. However, the two girls seemed uninterested in Arthur’s good looks. Kalea returns to focus on the book while Zeline returns to playing with her cellphone.
“I forgot,” Kalea replied briefly, but made an impression on Arthur’s fragile heart. Zeline just laughed mockingly.
When Arthur walked over to Kalea and hugged her from behind, it took Kalea by surprise.
“W-what are you doing?! There’s still someone else!” Kalea protested as she tried to get away from the man.
“Zeline, go home. It’s getting late,” Arthur said.
“You kicked me out?!”
“It’s late, I’m afraid you’ll be kidnapped by a perverted man,” Arthur said with a worried face.
“I’d rather be kidnapped by a rich man,” Zeline replied casually.
Arthur shook his head at Zeline’s wild behavior. “You still can’t get enough of the guys who’ve been pouring money on you.”
“Of course!”
“Hurry home or I’ll call Dariel to pick you up,” Arthur threatened as he typed something into his cell phone.
“You’re really bad! Even though I was studying with Lea,” Zeline protested, annoyed.
“You don’t study, I know that.”
“I’ll stay here anyway,” Zeline replied while sticking out her tongue. Arthur’s eyes widened, he turned to Kalea asking for certainty and the truth of what happened.
“No way! This time it’s my turn to spend time with Lea,” Arthur said. His hug on Kalea got tighter. While Zeline didn’t care, she was just playing pranks on the man. “Lea, is she seriously staying here?” Arthur asked.
Kalea didn’t respond, like a statue. She was just too lazy to serve the two of them.
“Lea!” Arthur called while shaking Kalea’s body.
Zeline laughed lightly, happy to watch Arthur being ignored by women. A very rare sight.
“Lea, I slept with you, didn’t I? I borrow your pajamas,” Zeline said as she stood up and walked towards her friend’s walk-in closet. Arthur immediately restrained the blonde girl and pushed Zeline towards the exit.
“W-what are you doing?! You’re such an asshole! I wanna stay here!” Zeline shouted, struggling but Arthur held her firmly. “Lea, help me!” Zeline nimbly bit Arthur’s hand as a result the man screamed in pain. Zeline didn’t waste the opportunity, she immediately ran to Kalea again and hid behind her friend.
“You, naughty girl” Arthur hissed while holding his hand, which was bitten by Zeline. “I’m really going to call Dariel.”
“No! I brought my own car anyway!”
Arthur took a deep breath, he shouldn’t be emotional toward someone much younger than him let alone a woman. Only, Zeline was the exception. He had a hard time controlling his emotions because Zeline really always tested his patience. Arthur again neutralized his facial expression, he smiled sweetly. “Zeline, listen to me. I want to make out with your friend,” Arthur asked in a soft voice.
“You can do it every day, but it’s the first time I want to stay here,” Zeline replied.
“I can’t do it every day.”
“Because you’ve been rotated by other women and today is your time with Lea, right?”
“....”
“Haha, I know you.”
“Your mouth, I’ve been busy with work and just got here,” Arthur said defensively.
“Excellent liar. Kalea already knows your habit, there’s no need to cover it up!”
Arthur massaged his forehead, he was already very tired. “Go home!” Arthur said, pointing at the exit.
“No!”
“Zeline!”
“No, damn it!”
On the other hand, Kalea was already very tired. She just wanted to study quietly in the time of the exam that was soon to come. Not to mention Zeline, who wasn’t serious about studying, and now Arthur has added to the noise.
Kalea squeezed the book she was holding. She put the book down so tight it made the two of them stop fighting. Arthur and Zeline swallowed their saliva roughly as Kalea gave off a dark and sinister aura.
“You better go, or should I go?” asked Kalea while looking at the two of them intently.
