“Now that we’re standing in the snow together, we know what it’s like to be together until our hair turns

white!” Ruka announced gleefully as she hugged him.

Ren was enamored with her, including all the adorable things she said. “Yeah. We’ll be together even

when our hair turns white, or more accurately, gray.”

Ruka stared at the scene in front of her. The flecks of snow that flurried around them were illuminated

by the glow of the street lamps. They dotted his hair and clothes, and she fell into a daze as she took in

the picturesque scene that filled her eyes. Meanwhile, he carried her back into the house.

“You’ll catch a cold if you continue standing in the snow like that. I don’t want you to actually spend all

your time recuperating here,” Ren said out of concern.

Ruka smiled. “What am I here for then?”

“To accompany me,” he announced. Ruka blushed. “To accompany you while you work, or for

something else?”

Ren often thought that Ruka had an innocent mind, but her words were fraught with innuendo.

“I won’t protest to anything you wish to do with me. The only thing that matters is what you desire.”

Ren’s smirk made it sound even more suggestive.

Ruka turned away shyly. At the same time, she received a notification on her phone, so she used it as

an excuse to escape. “Let me check my phone.”

She sat down on the couch, but she froze when she saw the text. It was from Jethro Ortiz.

What are you up to, Ruka? Are you free later? I’ll take you to the movies!

Ruka tapped out her reply. ‘Sorry, Jethro, but I’m busy!

Just then, her phone started ringing. It echoed a little in the expansive living room and she quickly

answered the call. “Hello?”

“Ruka…” Jethro sounded drunk. “I want to see you…”

Ruka could tell that he was drunk. She frowned and asked, “Have you been drinking?”

“I just went through a breakup. I’m so stupid. I shouldn’t have trusted her. I thought she loved me, but

she… she broke up with me today.” Jethro’s voice choked up.

“Don’t be sad. You deserve someone better,” Ruka consoled.

“I’m so dumb, Ruka. I only realized now that you like me. Do we still have a chance? I think I like you

too. We could try dating…” Jethro immediately started asking her out.

Ruka was stunned, and right at that moment, she felt someone staring at her. The piercing gaze in

Ren’s eyes made her hairs stand on end.

“Uh! Jethro, I can’t talk right now. I have something to do. You shouldn’t like me either. I like someone

else. Bye!” Ruka quickly ended the call under the pressuring gaze of the man in front of her.

“A friend of mine,” she explained a little evasively. “The boy you said you liked?” Ren had not forgotten

about it. She did tell him that she liked Jethro.

Ruka pressed her lips together and tried to explain, “Not someone I like, per se! I just… just felt a little

bit attracted to him, and also… You didn’t tell me you liked me either then!”
