Dylan's POV
I went back to my room after having a late night talk with Yue. I showered quickly and sat down at the edge of my bed.
I sighed. I'm glad she felt better, but damn it. I was worst than before.
Buddies forever my ass. That's a nice way of getting out of being friendzoned Dylan. You just drilled in her head that you're nothing but friends.
I got this elaborate plan of confessing to Yue, I was supposed to say sorry first. I was planning to surprise her tomorrow with a big little prince stuff toy she's obsessed with. Heck, I would even kneel in front of her begging for her forgiveness. But all of that went out the window.
I didn't expect her to come up to the rooftop tonight. And she cried so hard. She f!cking cried. I thought at first that it was only because of our fight. But I have a hunch that a boy is troubling that cute little head of hers. If I ever had a chance to meet him, I swear I'll beat the guy into a pulp. What an asshole.
Hearing her sobs just cemented what I was actually feeling for her. I didn't know what to do but just be there and hug her. Because that's what's buddies do. But the truth is, I would've come to her in an instant with a single text or call.
Cause that's what I am. I am a whipped guy friend who desperately wants to be beside her all the time. But liking a woman like Yue is one hell of a challenge. I played a lot of video games, but Yue? She's like a hardcore level. Hard to reach and hard to complete.
I decided to lay down still contemplating about my unrequited feelings.
I have a list of unexpected things that happened to me in my life.
1. Being able to enter Sichuan Vocational College of Aviation
2. Having an offer to join the Super Idol
3. Being chosen as DMS for Meteor Garden despite my lackluster audition.
4. Falling for the small girl who can kick my ass if she wants to.
See? Ever since I entered this industry I had a lot of surprises. But meeting her was the most nervewracking thing.
Yue is not a typical girl you get to meet and immediately flirt with. She'll shut you down just like that. Like a slam dunk.
But if you try to get close to her, you'll be amaze by her wittiness and passion. She'll get your vibe without you even knowing. Then you'll start to gravitate towards her. Because that's just how she is. She pulls you in with her charm and then there's never going back. The one thing you can do to break her walls is to annoy her. Annoy the hell out of her. And that's what I did.
I teased her like a kindergarten student asking for the attention of his crush. I get to be rewarded by her sass, kick and punch instead. I'm a freaking masochist, but that's the only thing I know to get close to her and touch her. The good news? We definitely clicked. Bad news? I threw myself down the buddy lane. I fucking dived, head first.
I'm a fish and she has the bait. What's the bait? Her smile. The smile she throws at me whenever I tease or annoy her. It gets me weak everytime, and I know whatever request she asked me, if she smiles, I'm a goner.
Add to the fact that she kicks my ass whenever it gets too much. She even throws any bullshit I've done back to my face. You either retaliate or surrender. But you better surrender because you'll definitely get your ass handed to you. On a silver platter.
She's perfect for me, a lovely balance of femininity and boldness. The thing is, she redefined what I thought I liked about girls. She completely and utterly destroyed any preconception I had before. And I love every minute of it.
But she is too stubborn and dense for her own good. Every single sweet thing I do ends up as a concern of a little brother or a friend.
I DON'T EVEN WAKE UP EARLY. I'm a typical young boy who loves sleeping, but I love waking her up even more. So I trained myself to wake up early.
I lent her my precious hoodies. Those were my kids. And I collect them everytime I get to shop or receive it as a gift from friends.
I worry myself too much whenever she gets sick because of working too hard.
I have a secret stash of her favorite cookies and snacks.
And I try my best to bring out the smile from her lips that mesmerizes us. Especially the guys. But I feel good knowing I was the one who caused it.
I felt my phone vibrate, notifying that there was a message from Xize.
Strategy meeting in my room, now.
He's the only one who knows about Yue. He straight out told me I was too unexperience and to trust on his manly skills. I may have zero relationship experience but I'm not naive in the field of flirting. I knew when to step up my game if I have to. I just got rejected every damn time.
I sighed and got up. His room was beside mine so it was a short trip.
"What's up bro?!" He told me while doing our handshake.
"Hey. What's this about?" I asked him, tired as f! ck.
"Let's get you out of friedzone shall we? So how are you going to confess to her?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"I don't know man. I'll probably not go through with the plan."
"What? I thought you already made up your mind?"
"I did but there's another guy." I told him
"So? Are they together? Dude last time I checked she's still single."
"I know. But she likes him. She cried Xize. She wouldn't tell me but I know it's about a guy." I explained.
"As long as they're not together you still stand a chance. Stop being a wimp and just go for it." He encouraged. He handed me a can of beer.
"Ay! I'm not a wimp." I defended.
"Then don't fucking rationalize everything and just do it." He said.
"Easy for you to say. It's not like you're interested in someone right now." I opened the beer and took a big gulp.
"I have my eye on Jiaqi just so you know." He suddenly said. I spit out my drink. I coughed and wiped my mouth with my arm.
"Dude, what the fa?! You serious?" I asked.
"I am serious." He said smiling smugly.
"She's Yue's friend." I tried to make him understand.
"And?"
"If we both f!ck up then we're both dead. Imagine the two of them coming at us. I'm having a hard time dealing with Yue already. One kick ass girl is enough, two of them? That's a death sentence bro." I helped him picture it out. Horrified even at the thought.
He gulped visibly. "F!ck. You got a point there." He agreed.
"But. I'm positive about this. We won't mess up." He added.
"Suit yourself. We're on our own now. It's anybody's game. If we both confess, we better be ready of the outcome." I told him.
"Wow Dy! You're positivity astounds me." He said sarcastically.
"I'm kidding. But if all hell breaks loose, we're really on our own. You deal with yours, I'll deal with mine."
"I know." He agreed.
"Well, no wonder we are friends. We both like fesity girls." I said teasingly.
"Touche."
"And apparently we're both masochists too. We love getting beaten up don't we?" I added.
"Again touche. But it's because they're Jiaqi and Yue." He smiled.
I nodded.
"I gotta go. I have to wake up early tomorrow." We did the handshake once again.
"Gotta wake up our sleeping Shancai. You're whipped." He teased. I just grinned.
I walked back to my room. Maybe Xize's right. I might still have a chance. But not yet, I won't make a move yet. Not until I know she somehow moved on from that jerkface.
Till then I'll keep being there for her. I'll keep taking care of her. And I'll keep lending her my hoodies, heck I'll even let her go through my collections.
I smiled at the memory of her wearing my hoodie. There she was standing in front of me, engulfed by it. Her arms floundering beside her, enjoying the warmth it brought her.
My possessive instinct just kicks in everytime. Knowing she was there beside me, liking my company and wearing one of my clothes. It makes me feel that she's already mine.
So for the mean time I'll gladly be her buddy, if it means I get to annoy this lovely girl everytime.
But I will grab even the smallest chance. Keep moving on Yue. I'll wait patiently till you're ready. And I will swoop in inconspicuously, steal your heart and carry you out of our buddy lane.
Because damn it. I'm in love with my buddy. And this time I won't just settle for anything less than a boyfriend.
I'll start off with waking up my sleeping beauty tomorrow morning.
