Early in the morning Kenzo had left for the university. Besides having morning classes, he also doesn't want to miss meeting his future - Kenzo said -.
"Aao.. it hurts!" Kenzo shouted and turned around Kenana to find out who had hit her head all of a sudden.
"ish. Edric! It hurts!" Kenzo shouted at Edric who was now smiling with satisfaction. "You always hit me on the head. What if I become stupid later?" Kenzo is still grumbling and pursing his lips.
"Who's fault is called, doesn't answer." Edric said casually, ignoring Kenzo who was still grinning rubbing his head.. "Besides, without me hitting you, your brain is only that capable."
"Ishh... I'm not stupid, I'm just not smart enough." Kenzo grumbled as he walked away leaving Edric and Edward who were now giggling amused seeing Kenzo sulking. Oh look, Kenzo walked while stomping his feet on the floor. Like the floor had wronged Kenz.
"Hey Kenzo! Wait!" shouted Edward who had caught up with Kenzo while running.
"What!" Kenzo said very curtly, he was still annoyed with Edric who always had his head.
"This afternoon there will be a basketball game at the engineering faculty. Do you want to come or not?" Edward asked with a smile that seduced Kenzo.
Edward was sure Kenzo would not refuse, and. See. Kenzo nodded happily with a big smile. He had forgotten that he was annoyed with Edward and Edric just now.
"Eits. Where are you going?" Edric asked, pulling the collar of Kenzo's shirt who was about to walk away.
"Ihhh.. Edric! Free!"
"Where are you going?"
"Where do you want to see Kenzo's future?" Kenzo answered grumpily and straightened his shirt that was pulled by Edric.
"It's time for Kenzo's class." Edric said excitedly.
"Isshh.. Just a moment, just. Five minutes after that I'll go to class." Kenzo raised his hand and showed his five fingers in front of Edric.
"No!" Without wanting to hear Kenzo's whining, Edward had dragged Kenzo to their class. He was already in love with Kenzo.
"Edwards! I just want to see my future for a bit." Kenzo was still trying his luck whining at Edward.
"One minute for you that's two hours Kenzo. And we have class in ten minutes." Edward ignored Kenzo's whining and kept pulling Kenzo's hand which he was holding.
"I just wanted to get my vitamins in Edward's morning. Let me be excited to learn."
"There are no more excuses. I'll buy some vitamins for you later." Edric shouted and walked behind Kenzo.
Kenzo glanced at Edric scornfully, and his lips hissed in annoyance. "That's different Edric!
"Same." Edward pulled Kenzo's hand who was still struggling to be released.
When he arrived at his classroom, Kenzo was still trying to escape from his two friends who were now sitting on his right and left.
When Kenzo stands up, Edward and Edric will quickly seat Kenzo back.
"Wa..."
"It's quiet." Kenzo's words were cut off by Edric who was already irritated with Kenzo who still wanted to go to meet his future - Kai -.
"If you don't shut up. I'm not taking you to see a basketball game. I'll keep you here." Edward threatens Kenzo, who is still rebellious, and wants to leave.
"That sucks." Kenzo gave up and sat quietly waiting for the lecturer who was about to start teaching.

"Galen! Don't take my food." Devano hit Galen's hand who was casually taking his food.
"A little."
"A little bit of your ass. You've already finished half of my meal!" Devano looked at Galen with a fierce face. "Buy yourself there."
"Kenan." Galen looked at Kenan who sat opposite him with his puppy eyes.
Kenan who was being stared at just snorted and nodded his head.
Without a word, Galen immediately ran to the food stand, shouting at Kenan. "Thank you Mom!" Which makes the entire engineering faculty canteen laugh at the behavior of that one Tiger member.
"Where's Kai?" Austin, who had just arrived, immediately asked Kai, because he didn't see Kai where Kai was sitting.
"On the rooftop." Calvin answered while eating the snacks in front of him.
"Hang on." Austin was surprised. Because even though Kai doesn't really like crowds, if he hangs out with Tiger, Kai won't mind it.
"Yesterday he came home. Hahhh..." Devano answered with a long sigh.
Austin sat down next to Devano - where Galen was sitting - and took the drink that was on the table.
Plakk
"That's my drink, satt." Devano hit Austin on the back of the head, causing Austin to choke on his drink.
"Uhuk uhuk.." with his free left hand Austin brushed his lips. "Just asking. You stingy rich man." Austin returned Devano's drink with an annoyed grumble.
"Buy yourself. No alms today." Devano took his drink and immediately finished his drink until it was toileted. Anticipate if someone will take it again and drink it.
"A stingy person is squeezed to death." Kenan joked which was rewarded with a glare from Devano.
"Don't glare at Kenan." Devano also received a hit on the forehead by Calvin.
"You are afraid of uke." Devano sneered at Calvin then immediately backed his head before he was given another hit by Calvin..
"Kai said something didn't?" Austin started to speak seriously, which immediately made everyone sit up straight talking seriously.
"Not. Earlier when Kai arrived, he went straight to the rooftop." Galen, who had just arrived after coming from the food booth, heard and immediately answered, carrying two plates of food, then sat next to Kenan and shifted one food in front of Kenan which Kenan immediately accepted.
"Leave Kai alone first. After he calms down, he will reunite with us." Calvin said while looking at Tiger's core one by one.
"Um.." Austin just mumbled then went to the food booth.
"You didn't buy Galen for me?" Calvin asked while looking at Galen who was currently enjoying the food he had asked Kenan earlier.
Galen swallowed his food then looked at Calvin. "Buy it yourself." Galen said nonchalantly then went back to eating his food ignoring Calvin who was already glaring at him.
Kenan stopped Calvin's hand, when Calvin wanted to hit Galen's head. "Let me order."
"No need for honey. I'll just order it myself." Calvin said softly and immediately stood up.
"Uwekkkk it's so sweet." Devano pouted.
Plakk
"Playboy stamped axe, shut up." Calvin hit Devano's head as he walked towards the food stand.
"It hurts Calvin." Devano shouted at Calvin which was only answered by showing his fist.
"Kenan!" Devano made a sound and the master who was summoned turned around with an eyebrow raised. Kenan sign asked 'what'. "Why did you fall in love with that damn Calvin? You really like him too."
Kenan just smiled sweetly without wanting to answer Devano's words.
Devano leaned forward towards Kenan. "You just date me Kenan. It would be more fun if you date me."
Plakkk.
"Em. You want to take your friend's girlfriend too." Calvin hit Devano's head again, then sat down next to Kenan and pulled Kenan into his arms..
"Ssshhh.. Sick Calvin!"
"Who told me to seduce my girlfriend, hmm.." Calvin glared at Devano.
"Ck.. you guys. Devano stopped bothering them. And you Calvin, you don't have to make out in front of us all the time. My eyes hurt to see it." Austin, who was already enjoying his meal, replied. Feeling bored with the three of them, because they will always tease each other like now.
Hey, if you think what Devano is doing is serious, then you are wrong. Devano was just joking, because it's very fun to tease Calvin who will always be possessive with his girlfriend, who is also their best friend.

On the rooftop, Kai lays himself down on a wooden chair that looks old, but is still sturdy enough to support the big one.
Kai just lay down and closed his eyes, he just needed to be alone for now. Don't want to be bothered by anyone, even the core Tiger members.
Since childhood, Kai really likes calm but does not limit himself in making friends. Since childhood Kai has had many friends, it's just that Kai talks less.
And what happened three years ago, Kai became more and more a closed and quiet person. Now he will only speak as necessary and will be more silent.
When Kai gathers with the Tiger gang, Kai will only be silent and answer if he is asked. Only with Tiger and his brother's gang did Kai feel comfortable hearing the noise that disturbed his calm.
Kai enjoyed the breeze blowing against his body. The wind that whispers her gentle natural voice, which is able to convey the calm in her soul. He enjoys the caress of the wind which makes him feel more calm.
The engineering faculty's rooftop is his favorite place to be alone. And if he was already on the rooftop then none of the Tiger members would dare to disturb Kenna. Except for an emergency of course.
Drrt drrt.
He felt his cellphone vibrate in his pocket, then Kai accepted the call without seeing who was calling him.
"Last night you came home Kai. Why not wait for Daddy to come home before you leave?"
Kai's father directly across the phone, because he knew his eldest son would not want to just say 'hello' to the person he was talking to on the phone. It's become Kai's habit to everyone.
"I. Dad's morning class."
"You're not good at lying, Kai."
There was silence between the two of them. Until you hear a sigh from the other side of the phone.
"When will you come home again? Daddy misses you son. We haven't been together in a long time."
By seeing a cold and introverted Kai, it doesn't mean Kai's father is also a cold father.
Korn Laszlo, is a warm father with his family, but he is cold-handed in running his business. It's not surprising, then, that the hereditary family business became even more successful when it was taken over by Korn Tanapon, Kai .'s father.
"Yes Dad. If I have time I will go home."
"Okay Daddy wait."
Kai was silent but still listened to his father.
"I'm sorry."
Tut tut.
After saying sorry Mr Korn hung up the phone. Until a few moments Kai still put the phone to his ear.
"Why is Daddy the one apologizing? It's not Daddy's fault." Kai spoke as if he was still talking to his father.
Kai always said that word when his father apologized. But Kai never really said directly to his father. Kai just doesn't want to make things worse.
Kai also sat up, tilted his head up with his eyes closed enjoying the rays of the sun this afternoon. So hot to others, yet so peaceful to Kai.
Holding his cell phone in his right hand tightly, as if the cellphone was the source of his grip he was strong. And a faint smile was painted on his lips, what was more visible was a bitter smile.
He looked at the wrist watch on his left hand which was now showing two o'clock in the afternoon. It had been a long time since he had been here.
Kai immediately got up and walked down the rooftop stairs to the basketball court where there would be a friendly match with the communication faculty.
*****
The outdoor field is already crowded with students from various majors. All of them are competing to find a strategic seat to watch the game progress.
It's not that they're enthusiastic about this match, but rather they're enthusiastic about technical players. To be more precise, the Tiger members who were all basketball players from the technical faculty were the children of Tiger members.
Hey .. who is not tempted to see the good looks of Tiger members. It's true that on average all Tiger members are handsome.
"Where's Kai?" Kenzo, who had been sitting in the front row of the audience since an hour ago, looked everywhere looking for Kai's whereabouts.
When Kenzo looked to his left, he saw Kai walking in front of him, where all the Tiger members - who participated in the match - are already gathered there.
Kenzo immediately smiled when he saw Kai in front of his eyes. "There he is." Without wasting time, Kenzo walked over to where Kai was sitting.
"Ao Kenzo. Why are you here?" Tin asked surprised because suddenly Kenzo was already in their midst.
"Want to see Kai." Kenzo replied with his trademark grin.
Regardless of the other Tiger members, Kenzo approached Kai who was sitting while looking at his friends who were starting to warm up.
"Hus hus .. Austin step aside first. I want to sit here." Kenzo shooed Austin away by waving his hand signaling to go who had been sitting beside Kai.
Austin, who was expelled, glared fiercely at Kenzo. But the master who was being stared at was frowning. "Austin didn't hear anything! Get out of the way!" Kenzo spoke slightly, raising his voice.
Austin is increasingly surprised by Kenzo. He was already looking at Kenzo with a fierce look, but instead of Kenzo being scared, the kid showed an angry face that fell down instead of looking cute.
"Kai! Check out Austin! He doesn't want to get out of there!" Fights Kenzo, to which Kai doesn't really care.
"Hahahaha.. " Austin, who saw Kenzo being ignored at all, laughed at Kenzo.
Kenzo, who was annoyed with being laughed at, immediately took the food he brought and stuffed it into Austin's mouth.
Austin, who received the food, immediately swallowed his food. "Delicious Kenzo." After the food Austin swallowed himself and opened his mouth again.
"What!" Kenzo asked furiously when he saw Austin open his mouth and point at the inside of his mouth.
"No way. Let's eat alone." Kenzo handed him the box of food he had brought earlier. Then pulled Austin to his feet. But, Austin is basically an idiot, so he doesn't want to stand up once.
"Ishhh.." An annoyed Kenzo suddenly sat on Austin's lap and faced Kai which surprised all the Tiger members - not all except Kai -.
"Kenzo." Austin whispered in surprise when he looked at Kenzo who was casually sitting on his lap.
Tbc..
