-ADRYAN'S POV-

"Have you heard the news?"

I asked Tzuyu who remain silent since I found her sitting alone near a garden on campus.

After a minute, she hummed in response followed by a small sighed.

"What's the reason he transferred here all of sudden" clueless Tzuyu.

I bit my lower lip "probably he got another r.. reason"

I can see that Tzuyu held her anger.

"To explain that everything he does is a lie? Tch"

"So, what's your plan now?" Tried to calm her down.

I watched Tzuyu's steps as she stood up from her seat. She crept a smile without I'm expected.

She begin to spoke "the plan is..... let's get out from here"

I'm confused. Did she plan to escape?

"Don't tell me you want to skip class"

Tzuyu mouthed 'bingo'

"Yah! I thought you had class after this? I mean your Spanish class?" I asked her.

Tzuyu raises her eyebrows.
"Absolutely, but just this time, please?"

"I strongly believe Chae will cover my attendance"

Said her while showing her puppy eyes. I admitted that I cannot resist the cuteness she gave me but I know this is not right. I shook my head.

"Jugeullae?" I widen my eyes.

Tzuyu rolled her eyes "don't give me that face just tell me if you are afraid to do so"

Her word hurts me. For some reason, yes I have never escaped any classes before but that doesn't mean I refuse the offer. I mean for a long period. For me, I just sleep in class and sometimes escape to the library still consider as skipping class, isn't it? Luckily, I don't have any classes after this.

"Fine" simple answer from me enough to see her cheer in happiness.

"So, where is your car?" Ask Tzuyu.

"Mwo? I thought we were gonna use yours" I said. Blur.

Tzuyu shook her head.

I continue "but isn't that your car?" while pointing my finger to Tzuyu's car.

She nods "but I don't have the key'

"Ottoke?"

"Dahyun" simple answer from Tzuyu.

"So where's yours?" Added Tzuyu.

I sighed "my father doesn't allow me. And you know we walked to campus this morning"

Tzuyu scratched her nape while giving an awkward smile "right"

Without any plan, we decided to go to the bus stop.

◇

I don't know why but sometimes we acted like we're so close to each other but sometimes feel like a stranger. I could feel the awkward atmosphere between us while waiting for the bus to arrive. About 5 minutes, as the bus parked, we quickly hop in. I glance at Tzuyu as she exhales a long sigh because there are no two empty seats available at the same time. Luckily, my eyes catch an empty seat that is only applicable for a person. I grab her wrist softly and command her to sit.

I decided to stand just like the other passenger near Tzuyu. Our eyes meet for a while because there is no gap here but I immediately pull away.

Why is my heart flutter?

◇

"Do you wanna eat something?" I asked her.

Tzuyu pouted. I knew the answer.

We agreed to choose a western restaurant. As soon we settle in, the waiter comes to us to present the menu. After are taking orders, the waiter lightly nods his head and went away leaving both of us again.

Tzuyu stares at me.

"What's next?"

I knotted my eyebrows. Typically Tzuyu.

"Yah, I thought you had a plan where did you wanna go today," I said.

Tzuyu flashes a small smile.

"I know this sounds ridiculous but today is my second time going to this mall. So I'm not familiar with it"

I widen my eyes "seriously?"

"This is not my favorite mall anyway"

I gasp "let's eat first, discuss later"

As the waiter made his way to our table bringing our food in the tray. We thank him politely before he does his work again.

"You know what? Every girl in our college including the unnies said that you are a 'whole package, which means everyone's 'dreams' " told Tzuyu while her hand keep stirring her meal.

I flash a smile before spoke "a whole package, doesn't mean perfect"

"Woah, so you did say you are a whole package?" Tease Tzuyu.

"N-no. Tch"

"Alright alright, don't deny it"

"Yah"

I flustered a bit.

Tzuyu laughed out loud before a hand knock softly on her head making both of us giggle together at the same time.

◇

"Two options, watch a movie or play games at the arcade?" Ask Tzuyu.

"Classic" I answered sarcastically.

Tzuyu glared at me. "So tell me what usually not came up with classic?"

I crept a small smirk.

"Did you ever wander around the mall, going to this or that shop?"

She shook her head. "You did that? Even you are n
