I have come to the conclusion that I like Khun Aguero Agnes, I thought as I lay on the ground unmoving.

Wanna know why I can't move?

Remember the promise Khun made? The one about cuddling?

Well, let's take that, but turn it into a bone crushing hug while he sleeps peacefully and I can't breathe.

"Khun, I God damn solemnly swear that I'll fry you." I mumbled under my breath, pushing him by the chest.

He still won't budge

I might die here today and my new found crush will be the killer.

Might I also add, the fact that the small streak of sunlight managed to hit me right in the eye while I can't move my head to avoid it, because someone is literally choking me in his sleep.

As I angrily, but softly poked Khun's shoulder to wake him up, I heard a shuffling sound of sheets being moved.

Bam looked around as he sat up. His eyes finally landed on a burrito looking me being strangled by Khun.

'help me!!' I mouthed. He returned to me a confused looking gaze. "help me!" I repeated, giving more volume this time.

He stood up, and I beamed. Oh but no, he left the room.

Bam you -!

I finally felt Khun stir around.

False alarm, he cuddled me tighter. A vein popped in my head. "Wake up you lazy asshole!!" I brought my fist down to his head as he flinched and woke up with a jolt. "what!? What happened??"

He looked at me who is giggling around in the floor. "your face... I can't..."

~

We, and by we I meant Khun and I were dragged by our nosey bunch of friends to spy on Bam and Endorsi on their date.

"spying on people's personal life. You guys are the worst." Khun bluntly said. They complained all together. "pathetic."

Pfft-

"then keep on monitoring. I have to take (y/n) on a date. So bye." he dragged my by the wrist.

What

Hold on. What?

"I did not agree to this!" I said, but didn't pull back. "but you want to." I nodded meekly. Well, he's not wrong.

God damn it.

~

We sat down in a café. It was small and cozy. Khun got some Americano while I drank (f/d).

I can't even look him in the eye.

He sips his coffee while casually typing into his lighthouse.

By the way...

Why did he get such a big table???

My question was answered when nobic and Ran slid into the chair beside me. "how are things with Viole?" Nobic asked.

"well, I left surveillance. Just hope that the princess doesn't become reckless."

"a date with a Jahad princess. That guy is really incredible for doing such a thing." he added.

After the small talks, Khun proposed the idea of splitting up into teams. Nobic and Ran will go out to find Rachel and her comrades and eliminate them.

"oh, are you and (y/n) going on a date?" he teased. Khun went a bit stiff. He nodded.

"good luck." he said and dragged Ran out with him.

Now it's just us two. Again.

What am I doing???

"well, wanna go shopping?" he asked with a small smile. "I- uh... Um... Ye- yeah! Sure!"

He led me into the shopping district, hand linked with mine.

He opened the door for me, letting me go inside first. I giggled nervously.

What am I doing

We looked around for shirts and other clothing. And ended up on the weapons and armors isle.

"try this one." he tossed me a glimmering (f/c) dagger. It was light and sharper then the one's I have right now. "woah. This one is really good." I said, impressed.

As he took it from my hand, a voice called behind me, "Mr. Khun? Ms. (y/n)?"

Aaa chicken noodles.

"Ba-Bam! Endorsi! Hi!" I overreacted. I think.

"hey." Khun ever so casually greeted.

"oh, it's you two. On a date too?" Endorsi asked, pulling another dress from the rack into her already big pile of clothing on top of her arms.

"here, try this." she threw me a (f/c) colored dress. It was sleeveless and had white pearls running across its collar. "um... Endorsi, it's really short-"

She pushed me into the changing room. "yeah, yeah. Beat it. I'll make Bam buy it for you later if it looks good."

I can tell she's holding the door from the outside since I haven't locked it, yet it's still closed.

I sighed, there is no other choice.

~

"Endorsi..." I looked at myself in the mirror. The dress only went up to above my knee. It's short.

Though I must admit I look great in it. Shows my curves a lot.

Endorsi pulled the door open. I can see it in her eyes. She's impressed. "hey Khun!"

Wait, no no no.

"Endorsi wait-"

"what?" Khun popped up while holding a small plastic bag. Must be the dagger he tossed over earlier.

He looked at me, scanning at what I'm wearing.

And then looked away, coughing. "looks good."

My head feels like it's about to explode. '' I can hear myself screaming.

"see! Let's get this one for her Bam." and then Endorsi dragged Bam to the cashier after I changed back to my comfy cream turtleneck sweater and boyfriend jeans.

That leaves me with Khun, waiting outside. Khun was casually looking through his lighthouse while my eyes were fixated with his face.

I mean, look at him.

He's so handsome I can tell there are girls about a few meters away from us taking pictures of him.

I scooted over closer to Khun, pressing myself against him. He looked at me with wide eyes. He should be confused. Because I myself, am also very confused.

My response to his stare is looking away.

He choked up a weird laugh.

"wanna hear a dad joke-"

"which reminds me," he cuts me off. "never do dad jokes ever again."

That bitch-

"my dad jokes are funny!" I crossed my arms. He laughed again. "here." he handed me the small white plastic bag. I accepted it graciously.

"let's do this more often." he offered. "it's fun."

~

We had a BBQ in the resort. The ultimate team, I had nicknamed us, stared off into the night sky from the large balcony.

"they're getting along. Considering it's only been three days." Khun said.

"well, crazy people get along with other crazy people." I sighed. "to bad the crazy people are gonna leave tomorrow. It's a pity."

"will you be alright Bam? Having to separate from them this early." Bam reassured Khun that it's fine with him. There isn't anything we can do after all. They're going to be D-class regulars after all and we still have to undergo some tests.

"it'll be better to meet them when we're stronger." we agreed with Bam. "yes. But first I want to get rid of the blue turtle." Khun strangled Rak and did a choke hold on him. Khun squeezed him tightly while Rak trashed around. "by the way, when is Mr. Urek coming?" Bam asked.

"ah.. That person... He's not coming any more. I heard he got into trouble somewhere. But my source said we'll be able to meet him pretty soon. My source isn't so reliable though..."

"viole, Khun, (y/n)." we turned our heads to meet Goseng. "there is something I need to tell you."

~

Recap, basically, Horyang, the teddy bear boy isn't going to wake up soon, because his Devil's half got taken by Casano.

Now, we gathered at Hwaryun's room. Where she is sitting like an old grandma. Not to mention, her outfit choice...!

She basically is a grandma though.

"what is it? All the guys gathered here. It reeks." I cleared my throat, clearly not a guy here..!

"oh, and (y/n). Still reeks though."

Before I could give her a retort, Bam cut me off. A wise idea.

"we have something to ask."

"I know. You Want me to show you the path, correct?"

Khun asked startled, "how did you..."

"it's quite obvious. But why should I help you? Why should I help the man who locked me up after helping him through the workshop battle?" she said with a smile.

"listen here, ya hot flaming cheeto who is actually pretty damn hot," Hwaryun gave me a 'wtf' look. "let's make a deal. You tell us this 'path' we're supposed to take, and in exchange, you can tag along with us."

Pause!

Listen here reader. Manipulation lesson number two, strike a bargain. But not just any bargain! Make a deal with someone and then offer them, in exchange, something that you have no problem, or was gonna do anyways. For example, I borrow your pencil color collection, in exchange, I'll help you do your art homework.

Continue ~

"well... Okay, I'll tell you. The way to get Casano Beniamino." her lips formed a smile.

"there is a special test for D class regulars. It's called the hell train."

Basically, to cut her explanation short, the hell train is a train that will allow you to go up from the 35th floor to the 45th floor quickly. But it is very difficult to take and if we take the train, we can catch Casano.

As we turned around to leave, I can hear Hwaryun call out to me. I only slightly move my head towards here to let her know I'm listening. "you're getting better."

"... Thanks."
