Chapter 4 "A meeting That Is Not A First" (part 1)

Ryan's POV

As I stood up near the entrance of the boarding house, I recalled the days before coming here:

D-5 before the class starts...

My morning was great. I slept enough, had delicious breakfast and enjoyed watching the clear blue sky. I was in a good mood.

Even if I was lucky yesterday to find a good part time job, I stayed positive and willing to take another try today.

"Woah. That car looks very expensive," I gaped while looking at the white car that was parking beside the 'No Parking' sign.

I could not help but to laugh as I shook my head. Then..

Bam!

"Ahhh!"

"Ohhh."

I bumped into someone because I kept on looking at the car. 'What an idiot~'

Even without lifting my head to see the man I bumped with, I dropped my apology in haste.

"I am sorry!"

Next, set my eyes upward. As if the halo behind him was too blinding, I had to cover my eyes from the sunlight before my sigh adjusted. Then, I saw his face.

'Woah. I bumped into someone who is more worth looking than the pretty car.'

How should I describe it? He looks like a comic character that came out from the paper. He is about 183 cm tall, has slim body and light brown hair. His eyes are as sharp as fox, it looks very rigid and cold. His point is pointed and thin, and his upper lip is think was well-lined while his lower lip is thick.

This kind of face is exactly my type. I was almost fall into the crush at first sight fever, but I changed my mind as soon as I heard him curse.

"F*ck it."

He looked at his polo shirt which was tainted by the ice cream he's holding. To be honest, it was just a small dot but he's overreacting.

"Sorry," I apologized again.

However, as if he did not hear a thing, the man clicked his tongue while sweeping his bangs.

"Damn it. I still have a meeting later," he murmured before he gave me glare. Then, he threw the ice cream inside the trashcan and shoved me away. "Get out of my way!"

'If only I haven't had my breakfast, there's a possibility that I'll fall into the ground from his push.'

With my slightly hanged loose jaw, I watched him hopped inside the expensive looking gray car that I praised before. Because the window is tinted, I did not know what kind of expression he was giving to me before he drove the car away.

"That arrogant jerk!" I shouted, as soon as the car left. "It wasn't just my fault that we bumped into each other! I should have just whack his head!"

He's a mood wrecker, really. What's the use of having a handsome face if you're rotten from head to toe?

I calmed myself by taking a deep breath. When I gathered my inner peace, I continued my journey on the way to the cotton candy shop where I will apply working as part timer.

"Your job is really simple," the shop owner said. "All you need to do is to wear a mascot costume and attract customer by dancing outside the shop. You came at the right time because the person who's in charge of this has already quit this very day. So if you want to start right away, you can do it today. Then, I will give you the payment right after."

I was happy at the idea that I will get my own money by working. But about dancing, I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

HOW THE HELL SOMEONE LIKE ME, A PERSON WHO HAS TWO LEFT FOOT, DANCE IN THE PUBLIC?!

"You can do it, Ryan. You can achieve success with hardwork," I cheered myself before I wore the mascot costume, which is a big pink bunny.

I tried to be positibe as much as possible. However, after 10 minutes...

"Mom, look at the mascot. He looks weird and crazy," the boy said as he passed by with his mom. He pointed my direction while laughing so hard.

"Baby, that's not a good thing to say," the mom replied. "If you speak like that again, the weird mascot will take you away," she added.

Although I could not see myself, I was aware on how stupid I look right now.

'This is so embarrassing! Should I just give up?'

I turned around and at the exact moment, I saw the shop owner who's watching me like an eagle. Therefore, I danced crazily again.

"Woah! Bunny!" gasped after gasped.

When I tilted my heard towards the direction where I heard the shouts of admire, I saw a group of elementary students who were running to my side.

'Oh no.'

They came to me like a storm.

"W-Wait!" I groaned.

These stubborn and energetic kids kept on pulling and pushing me, until I was pushed backward.

"Wait kids! Calm d-down...!"

It was too late for me to realize that I flipped over the fountain near the store. In panic, I wriggled my feet because the water kept on coming inside the costume. In no time, I would get drown!

"Help!" I shouted.

Then I heard a splash of water. Someone took me out of the water and lifted me in a bridal way. Because the water made the head of the costume heavy, it fell down from my head and my face was revealed in the public.

I slightly opened my eyes which were blinded by the sun.

"Are you okay?" asked the man who saved me.

Our eyes met in close distance.

Looking at him, I thought two suns exist. He has thick brows, rounded yet small eyes, pointed sharp nose and alluring lips. His face is small but his jaws are sharp. He has a refreshing aura, something like the new drop of the morning dew. But what caught my interest more is that small mole in his left cheek and his dark blue hair.

'Who is sane enough to dye his hair in blue, unless you are going to dance on stage?' I wondered for a moment.

"Wooh!" loud shouts resonated in eyes.

My widened eyes roamed around, and that's when I realized that everyone was feasting over us. Some even took pictures!

I quickly hopped down and stumbled on my way out of the fountain.

"Miss! Wai a minute!" he shouted before I escaped the scene.

WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY TODAY?!
