Valentines Manual for Bitter People

VMFBP [MX]: Chapter 6

Kiyeo

What did he just say?

He said he likes me too? How is that-we just had teasing and snarky remarks as our conversation for the past years, how could he like me? And the fact that he's a heartbreaker wouldn't make it any clearer that he likes me.

Those thoughts kept me until I saw someone walking towards... me?

"Wonho?" "Hi, Kiki." He smiled, "But, you're from another school... how-"

"My brother studies here." He shrugged, "Speaking of, there he is! Changkyun."

Wait. Hold thy horses. Did he just say... Changkyun? "What's up?" He asked. Wonho smiled at him before looking at me, "Kiki. This is Changkyun, my brother. Changkyun, I bet you know Ki-"

"Now how'd you know my brother?" He asked, now looking at me. I looked up and smiled guiltily, "He's my tutor." "Wait, what?! I thought you were tutoring Yu Kiyee?" Changkyun asked, turning to his brother. Wonho just smiled, "Maybe my penmanship can't be understood by many." He laughed. "So what brings you here?" I asked. "Changkyun wanted to talk to me...?" He said, slowly looking at Changkyun. The latter looked at me before looking at Wonho, "Not here." He said before pulling his brother out of sight.

"Huh." I muttered before going back to the classroom. Teachers don't do classes today, but our homeroom teacher checks if we're still in the classroom or not. "Kiyeo?" Someone called as I entered the classroom.

"Sasha. Why?" I asked, "Your brother came here earlier. He was looking for you." She said, "Why though?"

"Minhyuk told him-" "Kiki?" I heard my brother. I turned to him, "Are you okay?" He asked, quickly checking if I had wounds.

"I'm okay, Ki. It's fine. Please tell Hyunwoo I'm sorry his gift got ripped." I said. "Who ripped it?"

"What?" "Who ripped it?" He asked, seriously. "Uhm..."

"Was it Changkyun?" He confirmed. I avoided his gaze before nodding, "But please don't do anything. He said he'll get me a new one-"

"And you believed that? Kiki, I know you know that that plushie was rare. Hyunwoo even had a hard time looking for it." "I told him-" I turned and saw my classmates were looking at us. I pulled him out and started to walk to the school's courtyard. "I told him that he needs to change what he ripped. Don't worry, Ki."

Kihyun sighed, "I'm just worried when Minhyuk came running to me, telling me that you were crying." He said. "Don't worry, Ki. I'm fine." I assured him. "Fine. Should we go to a café? Let's have each other as our Valentine's date." "Sure thing, brother." I chuckled.
