It's at this moment, I catch sight of a reflection from the window of the classroom. Caden. At the door. My back towards him. It's impossible for Wilde to not have seen him. Which only means one thing....this motherfucking prick! I thought he was going ooc, but it was all a show for Caden! Fucking bitch of a villain I wanna slap the fuck out of him!
I can see why he is getting bullied now. I WANNA BULLY HIM TOO! HOW DARE HE PLAY WITH MY FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS LIKE THAT! ONLY I AM ALLOWED TO DO THAT!
I'll make him regret this. Just not yet. I can't let my poor ego get in between lifepoints...what i want to buy with those lifepoints, i still haven't decided but it's okay, this is finally getting a bit fun.
Disregarding the male lead standing at the door like a pervert, i make a show of being confused, hesitantly looking up at Wilde- wow his lips are so beautiful it reminds me of someone...
"Do you...like me too?" I ask with just the right touch of curiosity, fear and impatience on my face. Acting is really easy if you kinda mean what you're saying. And whose heart wouldn't beat a little faster if this precious (black and rotten to the core) pearl kisses them? I am not so mentally strong that i can just ignore the visual stimulation right in front of my eyes.
"Faye," he says, drawling out my name seductively and scrutinizing each feature of my face as if he is a scanner. Hot scanner.
"Yes?" I say, a little too impatient to get an answer and get on and eat because this gurl gotta eat them calories to maintain this booty ahh!
"I am too scared to believe you." I think he meant, too scared to trust AGAIN. Aww my poor baby...lemme give you real love...i mean...as real as i can considering i have to complete this mission and have no other choice but to love you.
"If you give me a little time, i can show you that i am not like them. I don't know why they're so blind to not see how much you can do, how much you can be, and i dont know why i was so heartless to wait until now to," i pause for dramatic effect and then look up at him from under my lashes, "to admit how much i lov- like you. I am sorry for all those times i was too scared to stand with you. I wanna protect you now Wilde. I wanna keep you safe. Please don't tell me to stay away from you anymore."
I have no trouble in forming words so they look honest enough this time, words just flow out of my mouth like they have a mind of their own. This must be the legendary effect of seeing a face you cant help but fall for a little. But what's really admirable is that villain sama's acting is also top notch. If i didn't see Caden at the door, I'd have thought that villain sama actually went out of character. Why does it hurt a little that he doesn't actually mean what he says? I must be going crazy haha, it's really annoying.
It seems that my words do their magic cause in the next moment he pulls me closer...too close...his big hands encasing my waist.
"If i find out you've lied to me today, I'll kill you."
Is that supposed to be romantic? I am not given much of a chance to wonder if that's a red flag or not, as in the next second his hand is running through my hair, tilting my head upwards and dragging my body even closer to his with his other arm. And it's like my world is rocking and he is this isolated island with palm trees and orchards and i am complete again. Again? Yes again....even the way he kisses is so much like that man...
As if sensing my distraction, he bites my lower lip and plunges his tongue deep inside my mouth. This dog man! Does he take me for a chew toy? Does this man even know that breathing is not something optional, he may have the main character infinite lung capacity but i am just a poor victim of the system ah!
I tap on his chest to signal that i am done with this mouth sucking episode and that maybe it is time to move on to real food now. But maybe he is too engrossed in proving a point to Caden, or he is just too engrossed in being a pervert dog that he ignores me completely. Ahh this pervert! So annoying!
So i bite the corner of his mouth while simultaneously pushing him back, why is this villain so depraved ahh! It's not like my mouth is his only source of water in the Sahara!
"System, remind me to teach this man consent later ahh," i say before biting his lip hard again. My hard teeth around his soft lips is a sensation I'll never forget.
The pain seems to bring him back from whatever world he was in and he leans his forehead against mine, as a small drop of blood oozes out from his now swollen lips.
I panic a little...i hate the sight of blood. I mumble a little apology before lightly licking the blood off of his lips and move back immediately in case he decides to go starving wolf on my lips again.
"Saliva contains lysozyme," i explain quickly , "you know to stop infections and stuff."
He looks at me a little amused and chuckles softly. "Thank you for protecting me from infections, love," he whispers, his breath hitting my face and making it warm and red.
"Uhmm yeah, of course, anytime," i say awkwardly. Why do i keep feeling like my plan is backfiring?
"Let's go get some food, shall we?" He asks in a tone that's saying 'i dare you to oppose me' and indeed if i decline his hand that takes hold of mine, locking our finger together as if to never let go, then it would mean that all that talk of wanting to be with him would seem like a lie...which it is...but I can't have him thinking that yet. But how do i tell him that if we appear publicly like this, he'd be bullied even harder and so will i along with him. I know he is probably doing this to spite the male lead, to show him that one of his team mates has switched sides but now is not the time ah!
On our way to the cafeteria, our locked hands gather a lot of curious looks from the students.
I walk along the corridors with my head down, letting villain sama lead the way. It's not because i have a thin face, but because i just don't want people to see my swollen and puffy lips and red eyes ah! Now that i think about it... doesn't that mean that i do have a thin face? Ah this won't do....raise your head up Fanyin, you're no coward!
I raise my head and my eyes meet those of the male lead's across the hall. Nevermind ah! Now is not the time for bravery! The male lead looks like he can't wait to eat me alive!
A tray filled with food to the brim enters my sight that has found peace in staring at the floor. I look up to see villain sama's hand with the heavy food tray hovering in front of my face as well as the server aunty's smiling face that screams 'ahh young love'. I wonder what she'd think if she knew everyone was playing everyone here and no one was actually in love.
I grab the heavy tray with both my hands and manoeuvre my way along with Wilde through crowds of students who have gone very quiet now and are just staring at us. Such NPCs ah!
I find a relatively empty table and take a seat beside villain sama who holds his own tray with one hand and my arm with the other. Does he think i might run away? Or is he making sure people see he has a hold on me?
Nevermind all that! Food ahh! Time to focus on important things! Everything else is temporary. Only food is eternal. Wait why is it suddenly so dark?
Omo why is the male lead standing over me like a teacher disappointed in his best student? Come to think of it... I don't particularly love his blonde hair...villain sama's hair is much better...silky, smooth so nice to run you fingers through or hold on to when kis-
"What are you doing?" He almost growls for the entire hall to listen in easily. I remember finding it hot when male leads in the novels i used read do shit like this but why do i just wanna slap him and gouge his eyes out for staring at me like i am his property. Also why is that sentence so familiar? Ahhh isn't that what Wilde asked me too when i was with him in that classroom? Do these main characters not have any original lines? Such basic bitches ahh!
I fix my eyes on villain sama peering at me, waiting to see what kind of response I'll give to the guy 'I' chased around for years. I make sure to not even give the male lead the satisfaction of having one of my precious glances as i respond lightly, "eating."
He doesn't seem satisfied with my answer and pulls out a seat opposite to me to sit down. Then as though he is my superior, he says to me, "you should have joined me at my table, Faye."
Oh so now he wants to talk to me? A smirk forms on my face without my control. Such a typical male lead. Gaining interest in what he can't have and treating what he does have like they are poop. Such guys have a special place in hell ahh.
"Why would i do that Mr. Timewell? Are we close?" I ask with a big smile knowing full well that though the original Faye was always chasing him around, he never spent even one extra glance at her, always trying to distance himself from her.
Caden looks at me annoyedly that I didn't answer the way he'd have liked. Yeah well the world doesn't just change its orbit if male lead wants it. It is how it is.
He pushes his chair back, making it screech loudly, a big contrast against the quiet cafeteria, stands up with his tray of food aggressively and walks from across the table towards my villain sama....well not mine but mine to protect...yes that's it. Mine to protect.
The male lead's got another thing coming if he thinks i am dumb and naive. Though he has never tormented Wilde openly before, he has always been the puppet master behind the curtains. Which makes me wonder why he came here himself instead of sending people which is his usual tactic. Well it doesn't matter what the reason is, he's not doing anything stupid to Wilde on my watch. And by something stupid, i mean something like throwing the contents of his food tray on Wilde. I have watched enough k-dramas to know the usual bullying tactics, accordingly i tighten my muscles, in case i need to jump in and save the day, though hopefully the male lead won't fall as low as to throw food on enemies, right?
Wrong. It's like it happens in slow motion, i see Caden lift his arm holding the tray high over Wilde's head and my body acts before i can think, slamming my forearm against the tray, making the tray fall to the floor with a loud bang! Tears fill my eyes and threaten to fall due to the pain from the collision of my arm against the edge of the tray.
Caden looks shocked, as if he never expected his most loyal bitch to act against him. And i am filled with rage at his stupidity. Is this how a dignified male lead is supposed to act? Are we all hitting low? If that's the case then...i take my own food plate and slam it against the male lead's chest, making him stumble back and almost fall to the floor.
