Chapter 57
"Hey, hey."
"You hold it in. And you—God, stop watching so many damn dramas."
The guys hurried to break things up between the one grinning and the one lunging with a fist. In the end, the one who didn’t get his way stood there, still clutching the unswung fist, breathing heavily with an angry face.
"Idiot. He acts like that ‘cause he likes him. That’s called jealousy, man. Like—wanting to be the only one who knows all the good things about the person you like... or something like that..."
"So you're saying Ash likes Koi?"
The moment those words came out, shouts of disbelief exploded around them.
"What did you just say?"
"Are you insane?!"
"Dude, they’re both betas—and guys!"
"Right! And Ash was dating Elle until recently. The school queen, remember?!"
There was no stronger counterargument than that. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, no matter how you spin it, that’s a no. Koi’s cute, sure, but not break-up-with-Elle-and-date-a-guy cute."
