“I think you’re really good match for Lifa”
“.....Excuse me?”
Koi’s words made Boom and Dome turn their heads in shock. Even Lifa herself didn’t expect Koi to say something like that.
“Wait, Koi…What are you saying?” Dome interrupted.
Lifa, who doesn’t know what to say, glances at Boom. Just to know that he is also speechless as well.
“Oh, Well. He both cared and cooked food for her. Plus, they’re together almost all the time”
All of that saying…Boom had no idea how to argue with that. Because of that non-stop questioning from Koi made Lifa had no choice but to answer, thus, made the moment the two of them were together reached the ears of her parents.
Another thing that seems strange to Boom, Is that even though she just wants to test him. But Koi is surprisingly calm. Not even a slightest insult to Lifa at all. Maybe she didn't want to get moralized like her husband.
Don’t know if Dome or someone else made up a story about Boom to make him look like a devil who’ll crush anyone who dares hurt his friends or family.
“Uh…What do you mean by that?” Boom asked.
“I mean as a partner, Of course. Helping each other out”
‘Or did you expect something else?’ Ends with Koi’s annoying smile. Bomm then replied ‘No’.
“By the way, How’s the school?”
Dome interrupt again. Boom and Lifa then turn their attention to him.
“It’s good…Every event went smoothly”
Although Dome asked how it is, Boom had no idea what to answer so he just answered it like that.
Now it’s Lifa's turn to answer.
“Yeah, As he mentioned. No problem with studying, either. And for the midterm exam, I studying beforehand and prepare myself–”
But before she could finish speaking. Boom secretly jabbed her arm with his elbow. Although she’s a bit confused, She agreed to stop talking.
Koi saw Boom’s action and smiled.
“You got a really good friend” She said.
After dinner. Koi and Dome excuse themself to leave. And Lifa will go see them out.
“Call us anytime if you have any problem”
“Yes…”
At the front door. Koi hug Lifa to say goodbye. And Dome just patted her head.
When Dome looked up, He saw Boom standing behind her. The two of them stared at each other for a moment before Dome decided to approach him.
“How is she at school?”
“Please rest assured. She’s Ok”
“I see…Lifa really wants someone who will pamper her for a long time. I’ll leave her to you”
‘See you around’ Dome spoke in a low voice throughout the conversation. Before walking away after speaking.
“We’ll see you again in chinese New Year”
Koi said before getting into the car and leaving.
Lifa let out a loud *sigh* of exhaustion. She turns to Boom and stares at him intensely.
“What did my father say to you?”
“Huh?”
“It’s too quiet. What did my father say?”
The pressure that she releases is too much. Plus with her pink eyes that keep staring at him, Even Boom is unable to resist it at all.
“You want someone to…pamper you?”
“Huh?”
The exact same reaction.
“Your dad told me you want someone to pamper you”
“......”
Lifa went silent.
Not only that, Her face is getting redder and redder, Even the smoke is starting to come out of her head.
“Noooo, Why did my father say that~”
Lifa squatted down and covered her face with both hands. It seems like her father's words would make her extremely embarrassed. Luckily, there’s no one around, Otherwise Boom wouldn’t know what to do.
He crouches down to be at Lifa’s eye level in order to talk easily.
“You didn’t have any friends back then?”
Boom asked, Lifa removed her hands before answering his question.
“Well…It’s not like I have no friends at all. We’re just not close enough to hang out together”
“So just an acquaintance?”
“Yes, When I have to move to a new school. I think no one would even care about me. At most, They’ll just nod and admit ‘She’s moved?’ just like that”
Her life before she got to know Boom was not very bright. Due to being in a wealthy school with a lot of wealthy kids, Lifa had to behave herself in a manner worthy of her status. Otherwise, Her parents would be extremely embarrassed. Both her mannerisms and words were well taught. It is so good that it feels like an anime character.
Although, She had someone to talk with. But they weren’t close enough to be considered friends. Because everyone who came to befriend her was hoping for something in return, no matter how big or little, And with her being the richest in the school, that made this matter escalate a lot.
“But when I moved here, I felt like it was a good decision”
“You didn’t think about getting robbed or something?”
“I had it at first because I might be the richest girl in the school, But it wasn’t too bad. I’m really enjoy it”
“How?”
But before answering, Lifa places one of her hands on Boom’s head and smiles.
“Because I have you”
“..........What?”
Boom has been stunned for 10 seconds.
His face is getting redder and redder, The smoke is also starting to come out. The same exact reaction as Lifa.
“I- I trusted you. Yo- You saved Nelly, after all…”
“Stop talking for a second”
Boom said with a trembling voice before getting up. He cupped his forehead and let out a long sigh that lasted for more than 10 seconds.
“You…like to say some fucking dangerous things, huh?”
He give Lifa a hand before lift her up.
“Anyway, Thanks for having me for the meal…I gotta go”
Finished speaking, Boom immediately sped up and left Lifa’s house. But she suddenly held him back.
“Uh…”
“What now?”
“When I said I’m enjoy being here because of you…It’s true”
The bombing words made Boom blush so hard that he hit his head on the door edge. Same goes for Lifa, had a similar reaction. She just didn’t hit her head on the door edge, But covered her mouth with her hand out of embarrassment.
“I’Li…”
“M- My apologize”
Don’t know if it’s her fault or not, But Lifa apologized first.
After the embarrassment is gone, Lifa wants to ask something just to be sure.
“Go ahead”
“So…Will you do as my father requested?”
“Your father's request?”
You mean the pampering thing? Boom thought to himself before answering.
“Of course”
But he answered with a normal tone and expression. Lifa was baffled at first.
“You want someone to do something together, right? That person is standing right in front of you”
He explains.
“I’Beam, I’Tar and I’Poo are also on the list. No need to worry”
The words that sound like it come from the love-comedy novel make Lifa smile with relief. Her smile is so bright and lovely than anyone Boom has ever met, He accidentally smiles as well.
“Than, I’ll do the same thing”
“Huh?”
“I’ll also pamper you as well. You can copy all my homework if you want to”134Please respect copyright.PENANASS36dX9iAk
“Thank you, LordLifa”
Boom caught her joke by thanking her, Even she burst out laughing.
As he raises his head, Lifa uses this opportunity and wraps her arms around his head.
“Hey, W Wait!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll try my best”
Lifa whispering next to his ear. Confused, Boom immediately pulled away.
“Shit!? What if someone saw us!?”
“Just let them see it, I don’t care”
Lifa makes a V sign before going back to her house.
“Where did you eat, Bro?”
Back at home, Beam, who is lying around, asked, but Boom wasn't really in the mood to answer, So he said ‘The usual’ before walking up to his room.
Beam notices something off, preparing to follow him for more answers. But Chai stops her in time.
“Just leave him alone. From that face, He might encounter some problem”
“What problem?”
“We don’t know. But It's better not to force him to answer”
This time, Tak answered.
Back at Boom, He drop himself onto his bed and thought about what just happened.
“Will I be able to sleep?”
Right now, His brain is trying to process Lifa’s Don’t worry, I’ll try my best sentence. Trying as hard as he can to find the true meaning. Because he knows that it definitely wouldn’t end with just copying homework.
But even if he figured it out, He still had to see if it is true as she said.
“God damn it”
If he keeps thinking like this, he might not be able to sleep. Boom then to pick up a novel on his shelf to read, He purposely picked the thick one with no illustration so he could change his focus. He has to go to school tomorrow, So he needs to forget about it as soon as possible.
Some time has passed, After reading about half a book. Boom decided to go take a shower and go to bed.
But it’s not as easy as he thought.
Just a few minutes before he went to bed, Lifa dropped him a message saying ‘Goodnight’. So he reluctantly said ‘Goodnight’ back as a courtesy.134Please respect copyright.PENANAGedz0oXfju
The next day.
Boom woke up feeling drowsy. He went to shower, put on his school uniform and go down to eat breakfast that Tak had prepared for him.
“Hey, Bro” Beam called him out.
“What?”
“P’Li said she wants to go with you”
“...What?”
He drop his spoon.
“Why?”
“She said her car broke down. So she wants to go to school with you”
Is this a fucking love-comedy show? Boom thought.
But since that was the case, Boom had no right to refuse because he had said that he would please Lifa today.
After eating, Boom and Beam then come outside and met Lifa in school uniform waiting in front of the gate.
“I’ll go with you two today”
She said with a smile. Boom, who knows her intention, sighed.
(What’s up with these two?)
Beam thought.
