Dorin Tanea's

Episode 24

I'm disappointed, Rin!

Rather than saying those words, I would rather that guy call me as usual, Miss Ball. For some reason my eyes were hot, this was the first time Fandy was angry with me. How did Fandy love Mak Lampir?

I'm sure it was Friska's ladies who took the photo. I don't know what Friska was throwing at Fandy until Fandy got so angry.

I rubbed my slightly watery eyes, this, it is painful, but I must not be weak because of this, because I am not wrong. No matter how hard it is, as long as you stand on a straight path, you will still be safe. Those are the words I've heard.

Despite thinking so, seeing Fandy's gaze just made my body go limp, it's just that I don't want to be hated by him because of this vague misconception.

My feet were so heavy that I was thrust into the classroom, like there were tons of rice perched on my shoulders. Along the way I just looked down as if counting footsteps or walking while looking for ants hiding in the grass.

I looked to the side when I heard the sound of cheering. There seemed to be seniors playing basketball, there was Rega too, somehow I who usually reflexes to avoid him as if no longer care. I had no energy to think of running away or avoiding him.

BRACKET!

Something landed on my head hard enough that my body fell down with my face stuck to the grass. The ball rolled in front of my eyes.

"Loe's okay?" It was the sound of Rega Valen already being near me and touching my hand, perhaps helping me to stand up.

I shook his hand quickly and got up. "I'm okay," I replied still feeling dizzy with my hands on the sides of my head. The man's face seemed to be twofold.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it" said a person whose tone didn't sound worried or apologetic. I'm sure that fucking Devin threw it at me on purpose. On the basketball court and where I stand far away. After all he was very adept at three-point throws, you can imagine, right, how accurate was that throw?

"Seriously loe, what's wrong?" ask Rega once more and I nod back. Rather than that fucking Devin, Rega seemed to be mengawtirkan me.

I stood up slowly with the rest of my strength. My body feels oyong. I raised my hand as Rega moved closer. "I'm fine."

I left them both by walking.

"Crazy loe, that's a kid man!" I can still hear Rega's half-whispering voice at his goddamn friend.

"Akh!"

Stupid, Rin! I peeled in my heart for being tripped by a small pebble. I felt a pain in my knees that landed on the sandy soil.

I could only grimace slowly in order to endure the pain.

"What's okay? Just walk you can't. My permission helps you." I'm holding up, it's Rega. That shitty guy volunteered to help me?

"No need. I'm going to take him," said someone, suddenly keeping Rega's hand away from me.

His presence surprised me. "The casino?"

"Can you stand?" asked Vino gently while helping me get up. He glanced down then cleared away the sand stuck around my knee. "Gue thought you couldn't walk."

"He-hey, what are you doing?!" My eyes widened with thumping chest.

Vino was holding me in front, as the prince who was carrying the royal princess walked towards the golden carriage. Along the way I could only cover my face with my palms. I could feel all eyes on me. Moreover, one of the wolf trio who carried me.

Upon arrival at the UKS, Vino laid me on the bed and then closed the curtains tightly. "Please wait a minute, I'll take the P3K box first."

Like a dream in broad daylight. Vino Virgo said that? Do something good to me?

"Stupid! Why is he so cool!" I muttered as I patted my head, "Aaahk ..," I whimpered, forgetting that my head had just been hit by a basketball.

Vino's coming. "Let me clean your wounds" he said, wetting a cotton swab with alcohol. "If it hurts to say, yes."

"Wait on! I just sit down," I said quickly as well. It wasn't good in my sleeping position after all when Vino cleaned my injured knee.

Vino took a seat in front of me. He started rubbing my knees with cotton. It felt a little painful, but I tried to hold it.

Wh why?

If Vino behaves like this, I can no longer hate him. The poorness in the past ..the memory embedded in my mind seemed to be eroded.

Though he was the most ignorant of the others, why was his action now so mesmerizing?

Why can't Vino change, and Fandy can't?!

Remembering Fandy who trusted Mak Lampir made me sad again.

"What hurts?" Vino looked up, then straightened his body looking at me.

I'm shaking.

"If it hurts, don't hold back your tears, Rin," she said, making me shed tears. Maybe this is the third time he's mentioned my name correctly. He used to be allergic to say my name and always called me 'Kingkong'.

"Why did you suddenly change like this?" ask me with a cry that I can't contain anymore. Everything feels mixed. The pain and resentment in my heart gathered together into one. I haven't cried in front of anyone else in a long time.

"Sorry."

I wiped the tears that were soaking my cheeks, but my tears were still flowing. In the past, the only thing I wanted to do was punch his face.

"I'm sorry I didn't say it right. I feel guilty for making you go to school and home."

"Yes, it's your fault too!" myrag.

"Sorry," he said in a soft voice and it melted my heart.
