ELIZ'S POV
I sat quietly on my bed, brushing my hair. I had just woken up but still felt sleepy. I tried not to think about what happened yesterday in the parking lot; it was too stressful.
As for the campus, the celebration went smoothly. Grandpa said that it would be the last gathering at the campus because Cortejo Campus would be temporarily closed.
I felt sad, but at the same time, I thought it was for everyone's safety. Besides, we would study online for now.
"Eliz? I'm going to Light's place, do you want to come?"
"Why, Mommy?"
"Oh, nothing, I just want to visit Ruhan." Wow, really? I think he's okay; he can walk now.
"Okay, I'll just take a shower," I said, and Mom left.
KEAN'S POV
We were currently at Ruhan's house to get some weapons. Just because we’re gangsters doesn't mean we always resort to physical fighting. Of course, we won’t just face the gangster world in the next chapter. But that’s a secret!
"Let's go, we still have a long way to go," Ruhan told us, so we hurried to get ready.
I adjusted my bulletproof vest and brought two guns. That should be enough, right? There are more guns in the car.
"Eliz? What are you doing here?" Nathan's voice startled me, and I turned to the door to see Eliz—Eliz?
"Can I come?" She asked.
"No, what we're doing is dangerous and... you're not okay yet," Ruhan said as he continued preparing his things.
How did Eliz know we were leaving today?
Eliz pouted and approached Ruhan again. "I'm fine, I promise! Come on!" She pleaded like a child.
"Tss, stop being stubborn. You might get hurt or shot, and then we’ll be responsible for you," Ruhan said, shaking his head.
"Who was the idiot who got shot last week and didn't even dodge?" Eliz said sarcastically, making Ruhan look at her.
I glanced at Shin, who was obviously enjoying the brewing fight between the two.
"How would I know I’d get hit, it came from behind," Ruhan replied.
"Oh, so you knew it was coming from behind, you should have dodged it," Eliz shot back.
"Tss, are you half-witted? If I knew I’d get hit, I would have dodged," Ruhan countered.
"And I’m the half-wit? You got shot and didn't even tell us—Eliz.
"Because I didn't want you to worry—just stop being stubborn!"—Ruhan.
"But I want to come! I'm fine now!"—Eliz.
"Really, Cairo?"—Ruhan.
"What—" Eliz stopped when she heard Ruhan's words.
Cairo? Who’s that guy?
"See? You're affected—Ouch!" Ruhan yelped when Eliz hit him with the arnis stick by the cabinet.
Ouch, that must hurt.
"Do we have popcorn?" Nathan whispered to me, grinning. Tss, enjoying the stupidity of these two.
I looked back at the two who continued to hurt each other.
Of course, poor Ruhan couldn’t bring himself to hurt Eliz.
"Stop it already, you lovebirds, or else—" Shin said, making both of them glare at him.
"No!/As if!" They said in unison.
"Fine! You can come!" Ruhan surrendered, and Eliz jumped for joy.
He threw a strap belt and a gun at Eliz. Of course, she needed it in case something happened.
But we were stunned when Eliz lifted her skirt to put on the strap belt, exposing her legs even more.
"F*ck! Eliz!" Ruhan scolded, and she looked at us, blushing when she realized what she had done.
"Hehehe, peace?" She said after fastening the strap belt and holstering the gun.
"Hoo! It's hot!" Shin complained, making us glare at him.
I’ll admit, I had a crush on Eliz at first sight, but it’s just a crush. She’s beautiful and smart, things that are very attractive.
But I don't want to get killed, so it’s a no to Eliz for me.
After getting ready, we headed to Ruhan's garage to get a car.
"How many cars are we taking?" Nathan asked, looking at Ruhan.
There were five cars, but of course, we couldn’t each take one.
"Two. Kean and Nathan, you two together. The three of us will take the other one," Ruhan instructed.
We both took Bugatti Veyrons but in different colors—ours was black and Ruhan’s was blue.
The trip was quite far, about two hours to reach the warehouse where we would meet Erol, our contact from abroad.
"Hey, Nathan... who’s Cairo?" I asked Nathan as I continued driving.
"Eliz’s suitor, three years ago," he replied while on his phone.
Just a suitor?
"He was her suitor but left her. Eliz loved Cairo very much, but one day, he went to Canada and never came back."—Nathan
"Oh, so why did he come back? To hurt Eliz again?"—Me.
"That’s what I want to know too," Nathan replied.
If I were Eliz, I wouldn't accept someone who had already left me. When it’s over, it’s over. No more comebacks.
"Are we almost there?" Nathan asked.
"Almost." I replied briefly.
"Almost there or almost far? I’ll strangle you," Nathan said, annoyed, making me laugh.
Sorry, that’s just me.
SHIN'S POV
Hi! My name is Shin, do you want to be my babe?
Just kidding, I still have a girlfriend, you’ll be next, huh?
RING!!!
I looked at my phone and smiled when I saw who was calling. It’s Selena, my girlfriend.
"Hello, babe?"—Me.
"Where are you? I need you right now at my condo."
"Sorry but I'm with Ruhan. Why, babe?"
"I really want you..."
"Let's break up."
"Huh? Shin, w-what are you saying?"
"I'm done with you, bye." I said and hung up.
I turned off my phone so she couldn't call back. I looked at Eliz, who was giving me a death glare. What?
"What?" I said nonchalantly.
"If I were that girl, I’d hire an assassin to kill you," Eliz said, bored.
"What do you think we women are, toys?" She asked.
"Well, if you were my girlfriend, I’d marry you," I said, giving her a sweet smile.
"You want to marry this?" She said, and I was shocked when she pointed a g-gun at me?
If Eliz ever became my girlfriend, I’d straighten up! She’s a sadist!
