She is well aware that Marven has a crush on her. However, even though he had made it very clear that he didn't like it, why would he still bother him?
Every girl has an ego that must be maintained in terms of relationships. If Raquel received the same treatment from a more handsome man, he would not mind.
However, Marven is a completely different story. After all, for most people, he generally had a bad image if he was really honest about it.
After being humiliated in front of so many people, he would kick her out of the door if she was less morally aware!
"Big Gerald!" marven shouted as he rushed over to Gerald to help him stand up.
While Gerald is clearly seen wanting to continue arguing with Raquel, Marven notices that some members of the Taekwondo society are already surrounding them. Fearing Gerald would get hurt because of him again, Marven immediately dragged him out of there.
The two continued walking until they arrived at the park located just outside their campus.
After finding a seat, Marven immediately found himself crying as he said, “This is all my fault, Brother Gerald! While Raquel may have attacked you, please blame me! After all, it was true that I was the one who had humiliated him in front of all those people!”
Although he did receive a kick to the chest from Raquel, Gerald remained silent. It was because he saw himself in the past at Marven.
Back then, he was willing to be beaten just to keep Xavia safe!
Understanding Marven's pain, Gerald then patted her on the back while saying, “Alright, well I won't.. For now, let's focus more on making you stop crying, you told me that you two have a pretty good relationship. ! No offense, but the previous scene clearly suggested otherwise!”
“Yah... We have really had a good relationship in the past. After all, we both grew up together! However, once Raquel entered college, he began to change drastically.
Marven then begins to detail his past with Raquel to Gerald.
The two seem to have been very friendly with each other in the past, to the point where Marven would always stand up for Raquel whenever he was bullied at school.
The worst repression Raquel ever received occurred when they were in their fourth year. Back then, Raquel's path had been blocked by some of the older students.
Being immature children, the older students assumed that they only needed to write a love letter to Raquel for him to fall in love with them. When it clearly failed, they all ganged on him. But Marven, come help him and fight them all.
The incident Marven faced was quite similar to what happened with Gerald and Xavia in the past.
That's basically why for a period of time, Marven and Raquel were almost inseparable. In fact, after graduating High School, the two even had a chance to be a couple for a while.
However, it was at this point that Marven began to notice small changes in Raquel's behavior.
Eventually, things got so bad that Raquel actively tried to hide from her. It even got to the point where he told her not to tell others that they were actually a couple!
One day, Raquel tells her that he needs time to get away from her…
And that's how their relationship lasted for quite a long period of time.
Marven could not accept how quickly Raquel moved away from her so he continued to annoy her.
Finally, it leads to today's events.
Gerald just shook his head in pity. He doesn't even know what to say. After all, Marven's story became very similar to his past relationship with Xavia. All he could do was pat his back.
Not long after, Marven wiped away her last tear, confirming that she was fine now. Sharing her sad story and crying must have helped a lot.
Hearing that, Gerald felt relieved.
Just as they were about to leave, Gerald's phone rang. It was a phone call from Queta.
"Gerald, you need to get back!"
"What's wrong?"
Queta's tone sounded desperate…
