Chapter 4
“I want to do my best.”
When Koi spoke with a serious expression, Ashley changed tactics and bluntly asked,
“Don’t you have any physical activities or something?”
“I do.”
He didn’t bother to mention the marathon. They trained together at the track almost every day, yet Ashley had no idea. Saying it out loud felt like a blow to his already minuscule pride. Even so, he didn’t bother hiding his displeasure as he glared at Ashley, but the other didn’t seem to care at all. After letting out a deep sigh, Ashley finally gave up and spoke.
“Alright, so what do you suggest?”
He raised both hands as if surrendering and looked at Koi expectantly. Koi took a deep breath and began explaining his plan—starting with research, how they should proceed with the project, and most importantly, setting a time to meet.
“I have training every day this week.”
Ashley folded his arms and looked down at Koi, waiting to see how he would respond. But Koi was ready.
“It ends at six, right? If you shower, seven should be ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) plenty of time.”
For a moment, Ashley made a face as if he was completely fed up. Koi wondered if his persistence was really that unbearable, but then Ashley asked suspiciously,
“You’re not my stalker, are you?”
