《Smiling Chaos》Chapter 10
Advertisement
"Argh ! these freshmen are so plain. There is nothing exciting ", remarked Won Yukhei whilst walking out of class with Xiaojun.
" Well, have you seen everyone in the school" ,asked Xiaojun getting bored by Yukhei s flirtatious tendencies.
Its not that he is a philanderer,it's just that he likes the feeling of making a statement in someone's heart.Actually a lot of male students here like that but not a lot of them are as obsessed about it nor effective as Yukhei..Just two semesters ago, a transfer student from Japan came to study human geography in SeJun.She was that inapprochable foreign student.The fact that Hirokawa Mao was so incredibly charming and inhumanly smart made her the topic of most conversations.
Yukhei liked her cold exterior and the fact that she was socially introverted was the icing on the cake .She was a tough nut to crack ,that Yukhei must admit but that's the thing he adored most, a challenge!At first he would make up cheesy lines like 'Tokyo s forbidden fruit is out on the loose' or that her beauty far surpassed the value of the stars not even the richest Kotei can compensate. This was probably the worst insult that she ever heard exit Yukhei s mouth..That day when he said this she just looked at him in disbelief and half way from running her slap across his face.She just looked at him and tucked her hair behind her ear in preparation to give him an earful.Just two seconds after she did that, Yukhei got a hiccup and he quickly placed his hand over his mouth.He looked back at Mao to find her looking at him in confusion and then he let out the second hiccup.
Mao chuckled at him for the first time revealing the most beautiful set of teeth in all of the block.The teeth were so alligned that they seemed as if they were installed one by one.As she smiled, Yukhei was about to let out the third hiccup which he fought back.He placed his hand over his neck and ran away towards the corner of the hall way.As he was running he could feel that Mao was still looking at him.After he had disappeared from Mao s sight he lowered his hand and placed them in his pocket.His hiccups disappeared instantaneously.He smiled pridefully and arched a single eyebrow, to show that he is victorious.He just melted the ice queen!!

Through the next coming weeks , Mao continued to secretly admire Yukhei and he enjoyed that.Mao who used to walk away arrogantly when her classmates tried to talk to her was delivering a bento to Yukhei s dorm room every day. And each meal was never like the other. Honestly if there was ever a crown for flirtatious behavior, Yukhei would be the heavenly sovereign...In Yukhei s eyes Mao has been degraded from stone princess to 'bento girl'.Anyway Yukhei still flirts with her alongside other twenty-nine girls as well..How does he make them submit like this?
That being the case ,he was getting bored of seeing the same girls and these girls are not complaining maybe because there is no exact way to begin the complaint.What would they say? That they hate being only friends? It takes guts to exit the friendzone..
"Let me give you some wisdom.Any pretty girl is this school belongs to me, from Princess Sana Minatozaki all the way to angelic Cheng Xiao.I just have to snap my fingers and they come running",he said this trully proud of himself.He even placed a hand over Xiaojun s shoulder making him slow down.
Xiaojun got bored and flicked off Yukhei s hand then walked ahead of him.Yukhei made an adorable angry face and stormed towards Xiaojun and proceeded to clasp onto the entire length of Xiaojun s arm.Just as he was about to brush him off, He felt a warm circular object touch his body as Yukhei laid his head on Xiaojun s arm.This caused Xiaojun to come to a momentary stop.Is he seriousl? Just beyond this corridor, is a cafeteria full of university students and probably some of his girl toys.This boy is trully astonishing.. Maybe he should mention it..
"Yukhei?"
"Mhhm?"
"Can I ask you something?"
Xiaojun opened his mouth slightly to utter his question but then a group of freshman girls came into the corridor that was previously occupied by just the two of them.Yukhei opened his eyes quickly and let go of Xiaojun s hand.Yukhei ran after the group of girls leaving Xiaojun standing there alone.
He watched as the little flower called Yukhei get spirited away.Gosh why does he like doing this.Can it really be that fun? Like why does he act so vulnerable when he is with Xiaojun but the minute anybody shows up, he simply just act like he didn't just share a precious moment with Xiaojun. The first time he ever did this, Xiaojun was beyond pissed at him.But with time Xiaojun realised that Yukhei has fun toying with emotions of other people.Maybe it's because he is afraid to commit.Maybe it's because he is afraid what would happen if he actually considers someone s emotions as genuine.

His parents splitting up was probably the cause of him being so damaged.Though Yukhei says he doesn't have a problem, truth of the matter is that he does need closure.He probably toys with girls because his subconscious feels he was played and thus maybe that's how people should be treated.
This was the aftermath of a cold rainy night about three years ago.Xiaojun was home alone because his parents were at a wedding in Busan.He had made a large bowl of noodles and just sat in the living room watching marathons.He had the volume high because the sound of waterdrops outside was so deafening.The architecture of his home didn't offer any advanced sound proof because it is just a simple structure but nonetheless still quite suburban.Anyway he was watching , a God awful old comedy on screen,the kind where the pictures are like the camera has a golden brown fog over the lens.Despite it being a comedy, he never so much as laughed once.Halfway through the current movie he head a knock on the door at around midnight.The knock was so lifeless that had not Xiaojun been disinterested in the movie, he probably wouldn't have heard it.He sluggishly got off from the sofa he was laying on and walked over to the door..He opened the door with the least energy imaginable..
He saw someone walk away towards the gate.The person was not carrying an umbrella despite of how pouring it was.He turned around and looked at Xiaojun when he heard the door open. At that instant Xiaojun stormed from the door and down the stairs towards Yukhei. He also was not carrying an umbrella and was wearing a pair of oversized shorts and baggy shirt with flipflops. He caught Yukhei s tiny frame in his embrace.As soon as Yukhei felt the warmth from Xiaojun s body, he sobbed so softly and laid his head on Xiaojun s chest..The streams of tears competed with the raindrops on his face.They stood there in the rain hugging so affectionately.. Xiaojun didn't understand what was the problem but he couldn't not care less.He hugged onto Yukhei until the rain stopped which was about ten minutes later.The heavy drops have drenched them so much that the clothes stuck to their skin.
Anyway that was the only emotional display that Yukhei ever showed after his parents had separated on that day.He never got any therapy and he always avoids that topic.But from time to time Yukhei tend to hug onto Xiaojun like how Xiaojun held onto him that night.If only he understood what it meant
Xiaojun sighed and walked in the direction that Yukhei went.The trio of freshman girls were casually having a conversation with Yukhei, whilst looking out the tall glass pane.Of the three girls, he only recognizes the queen bee of his highschool,Manoban Lalisa.She was and probably is the 'it' girl .Back when he was in highschool, Lalisa was the most fashionable, spoilt belle of the school.When she came into a room, you are bound to notice that Lalisa is around.Anyway because of some weird reason, she is actually a cool friend to Yukhei otherwise she is the devil s incarnate to anyone else whose parents haven't been on Forbes magazine.Long story short, Yukhei is the only person who has not felt Lalisa s wrath.Can it be that she is a 'bento girl'.Xiaojun s thoughts were interrupted by a sudden comment from the four.
"Looks like someone didn't get the memo",commented Yukhei with his hands in the glass pane.He was looking at the student who was dragging a lagguage bag into campus ,four days after classes have already begun..
"Must be a retard from highschool" She added whilst giving a condensending look at the student.She smirked at her own comment while her arms were folded over her bosom.
Yukhei rolled his eyes and proceeded to look at the window"You know him?"
Before Lalisa could answer , a member of her trio remarked "Kim TaeHyung"
All eyes turned to her in anticipation of an explanation, but she didn't care about their burning gazes.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies.

The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
