Chapter 14 Don't tell anyone

KIA

It is a breathtakingly beautiful day outside. The blooms and leaves on the plant are moving very slowly because there is only a slight breeze. My mind is not at ease, despite the fact that today is a rather quiet day at school. After eight of these drawn-out intervals, our mental processes have become sluggish. Particularly taxing are the times immediately after the short breaks that are provided. The last phase is something that we are looking forward to with bated breath. During class, many of us are guilty of not paying attention to what's being spoken. They are having trouble remaining seated due to their restlessness. While the peon makes his way towards the bell, the boys prepare themselves by gathering their belongings. The last bell rings, and with that, the school day has come to an end. There is an opening in the gate. The boys leave in a flurry, much like the rapid waters of a mountain torrent.

"Kia! Kia!" I turned my head slightly to the left and heard her soft voice behind me murmuring my name.

“Um? What have you been up to, Miaree?"

"There's something important that I need to discuss with you!" She pulled out her chair and placed it next to mine, saying, "Listen to me! The latest scoop, as told by the source themselves! That jerk, Vincent, is going to have his comeuppance! Something interesting took place within their organization! Oh, so that's the reason why he didn't kneel down in front of you and beg for forgiveness earlier today. There was a hushed tone from her.

"He is always like that. When we were in high school, I used to think it was romantic for him to wait at the door every day to make a pass on me. But now I see that he is just being consistent. However, I have come to the conclusion that his unyielding nature is quite unsettling... If he remains at the gate for an extended period of time, I will have to call the authorities. Creepy!” As soon as I feel a few shivers running through my body, I give myself a hug.

"You're kidding, aren't you? " It is precisely this that I am most concerned about. When he pursues you, the more intense his methods are, the more brutal the techniques are that he uses to punish you after a breakup!

"I like that one, Miaree. It's quite clever. Well said! I will be sure to remember it in the future! I playfully said.

She giggled and then moved considerably closer to me before saying, "I will tell you how miserable he is!"

"Miaree, make yourself understood!"

"Without any discernible motive, throughout the course of the previous two days, the Vueravista Company has mercilessly repressed the Rivera family. Its ten million assets have been reduced by almost half in recent years. The Vueravista Company is the most successful business in our metropolis! It is not something that can be competed with by smaller enterprises like the Rivera family's! The Rivera family has been sent out to pasture! Someone is really astute to exact retribution on your behalf. This jerk's family had the gall to ask him to come back and assist them. Because of his busy schedule, he won't be able to bother you once more. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the matter. Isn't that some wonderful news? Are you happy with it? Because justice is served so quickly, I really want to let off some firecrackers to celebrate the fact that you have been vindicated. This evening, wouldn't you like to go for a samgyup with me? I've got a hankering for some Korean cuisine!" The news must have made her quite happy because she is beaming from ear to ear.

I have no choice but to concede... I share your joy and that makes me happy too. I mean, after everything that they had done to me, didn't he deserve it after what they had done to him?!

"I don't believe that's enough," the speaker said. Even though they are currently going through a difficult time, it is not sufficient to simply enjoy their good fortune. Why don't we send him a wreath?" (Why don't we send him a wreath?) I was having nefarious ideas go through my head. My lips twitched into the beginnings of a smile as I watched her.

Miaree spoke the word "oh..." with a sneering smile on her face.

"I'm just kidding. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I have to leave right away. My tummy is starting to feel a little uncomfortable. I have to go the restroom. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

After saying that, I made a beeline for the restrooms reserved for females. Before I even get to the bathroom, the cramps associated with my menstruation have already started. It is uncomfortable... It's not good at all! It feels like someone is stabbing the living hell out of me with a sharp instrument. I am able to sense them further down in my abdominal region. Why is it happening at this particular time! I am not even close to being ready for this! Oh my God! Restroom! Restroom!

But while I was standing in front of the restroom, a sign that read "Cleaning? " barred my path. Whatever the case may be, I have to hurry up and go inside! It is causing me a lot of discomfort!" I ran in, but I stopped short when I saw a male and a girl making out in the stall next to mine in the women's washroom.

What the actual hell are they trying to accomplish at this location?!

I step outdoors, but the boy immediately catches my attention and asks, "Who are you?" I had to get out of there quickly since he changed, but on the way I completely blanked on the purpose I had gone to the restroom in the first place. Nevertheless, he was nevertheless successful in catching me. Because I am experiencing period cramps, I am unable to run at a rapid pace.

"Are you headed in a certain direction?" He added that he was surrounding me like a lion and cornering me in the wall. The young woman with whom he had been making out just a little while earlier should get away from him as quickly as she can and never look back.

"What did you see?" was the question he asked in all seriousness.

What's that? I've seen him somewhere before... Oh my God! He is known by his full name, Nathan Zac Ramirez! The intense level of human traffic on campus at this university. I have it on good authority that his family comes from a wealthy background. Sh*t! I probably would have gotten away a long time ago if it weren't for my menstruation. What course of action ought I to take? Have I gotten myself into a pickle?

He slammed his fist into the wall behind me, causing me to tremble with fear, and then he said, "I will repeat the question... What did you see?"

I did not answer. I did nothing except stare at the ground while swallowing the saliva in my mouth. I immediately began to plan my escape from him and consider the various options available to me. Should I punch him in the face and then try to get away from him as quickly as possible? However... That is an awfully terrible punishment! I am so terrible at this that I can't even kill cockroaches! Hmm... Think Kia! Think—-

"I said, what did you see? Are you mute? Can't you talk? Why aren't you responding to my question?! He is very angry. It's clear to me in the look in his eyes.

He exhaled deeply before lowering his head and shutting his eyes. It would appear like he was trying to relax himself. Should I seize this opportunity and give him a swift kick to the balls? Argh! No! What if it causes him to experience significant pain? I don't want to be the one who makes him unable to have children because I don't want to be the cause of it!

"Please accept my apologies... I'm just curious to know what it is that you observe over there. I promise that I won't do anything that could be considered harmful to you.

"I— I saw you kissing that girl…" I tried to speak clearly but failed.

“Then?”

That's all there is to it! I kept my word and that is what I observed. I've got my fingers crossed and my heart is hoping to die!" I responded with my fingers crossed while making the statement.

I attempted to push him away, but he grasped my wrists and his grip was solid. His eyes were stone-cold serious, and his expression was stern. "What exactly are you looking for? Name your price. Simply put, don't let anyone know about what you witnessed today.
