Chapter 145 - A Hearty Resolution
Was the one thing in his mind.
This time, it was in the realm of lust. What if this is the start of his degeneracy as he became lenient to this method?
As a teenage boy, he had a lot of pent-up sexual frustrations. Teren looked underneath his pants in despair. He decided to have a cold shower while thinking it through.
It was always like this. He never wanted to be bothered.
"But why is everyone... everyone always getting on my way..."
Teren couldn\'t believe he will say it.
"My life before was better."
A life of running and hiding, killing when he was spotted. It\'s too simple, not as complicated as this one. Teren was not experienced in this area nor does he have the knowledge but steadily, he takes control by force.
Maybe that\'s why everyone was against him.
"Why did I decide this again?"
He asked himself. But the moment a certain girl popped in his head, he smiled.
"Yeah, it\'s all worth it."
Teren\'s mind began to open. His enemies are no longer just on the battlefield where killing them is an option. This time, he has a weakness. That weakness is Iesa. If someone threatened her safety, he could only obey.
He had to accept it.
From the start, his mind had always been swinging from left to right, what to do, what not to do. Changing plans whenever something happened. He thought he was just being flexible. But Teren had to accept it.
His enemies are getting ready. As of now, if an all-out war occurred, he will terribly lose. Teren had decided, he will have to compromise. This time, with his feelings and emotions, not just for the best.
"I will fight for a cause... not just to save myself but also, to save her and end the trouble I\'ve started."
Teren was not a good man from the start. Why is he not considering the dirty methods?
Although, he still wants allies. People he can depend on. That is the biggest obstacle as of now. But there is one person who he thinks is the friendliest. At the very least, he can obtain some advice. This is being open-minded. Because relationships, no matter how pathetic it sounds, is his weakness too.
[Aren\'t you a little too mature for your age?]
"I don\'t think I am right now... but I will try to be one again."
Teren deeply breathed as he firmed his decision with resolution. As he got out of the shower, he looked at the clock and saw that it was still early.
He can still do it. Because once he does, there\'s no longer turning back.
Afterward, he put on his school uniform. But he was considering something, should he go there with spare clothes and bring his school uniform?
Teren has no idea. When his heart start to pump, he began to hesitate a little.
"Maybe, I\'m just saying that this is all necessary but actually, it\'s actually what I just wanted..."
But if he stopped now, there will be no progress. Therefore, he went there in his school uniform. He figured he will just take them off there too.
As the sun rose, Teren walked down the street. In his school uniform and a bag behind him, he was actually walking down opposite to where the school is.
A lot of thought heaved Teren\'s mind. His mind was telling him to stop, it was ridiculous and unnecessary. But his feelings were telling him that it\'s going to be the best day of his life.
Meanwhile, in an apartment people, Iesa woke up in a bad mood. It\'s because, last night, she spent thinking about how Catherine was having a \'date\' with Teren. Fortunately, she went to bed early since it took her long enough to sleep.
However, that was far from enough to sweep her bad mood away.
At that moment, Iesa was thinking if only she had the power to stop it. She could think of a lot of ways to stop Catherine from going onto the \'date\', however, thinking that she might disturb Teren, Iesa stopped.
\'Geez! I\'ve fallen in love with a cheater! You cheater! If later, I found out that you and that ugly did something, I\'m going to kill her!\'
It was a cute tantrum at first but she revealed her true thoughts at the later end.
Iesa then sighed.
"I wonder why. Is he just playing with me? I don\'t get all this deal, I just kept nodding and agreeing with everything he\'s saying. Why is there a need for distance?"
Although she asked that, she was not trying to answer it. She didn\'t think of the mysterious things Teren said to her when they first kissed back then even though she remembers it.
For some reason, remembering what he said and the name \'Dehian\' was giving her a headache. That\'s why she could only think of the kiss back then. That was the sweet part of it.
Speaking of kissing, Iesa giggled as she remembered the time at a movie theater. She suddenly took Teren\'s hand, guiding it to her chest. It was embarrassing that she made a bold move but somehow, it was worth it!
\'Hm-hm... I could still remember his surprise. It was so cute... but afterward, he didn\'t stop fondling it.\'
She then looked at her chest under the apron as she cooked. She just finished showering and her hair was still wet. That\'s why she was only in her underwear behind her apron at the moment. It was a little cold too but it was bearable while she wraps her hair with a towel. While doing so, she thought if Teren like her breasts that was not big but not small either.
Ding*
"Hm!?"
Iesa was slightly startled by the sound of her doorbell. She walked towards the door and peeked through the peephole. To her surprise, she could see a familiar figure.
\'Teren!?\'
She froze and as she looked, he had a serious look on his face.
"W-wait!"
Although she was wanted to be bold, she didn\'t want to meet him in her underwear. Therefore, she rushed herself.
