Don't Misunderstood!

Klein can understand why real chefs want to be chefs. They must have like seeing people's expressions brightening because of the food they invested time and effort with

The six arranged the chairs around the teacher's table to eat. As usual, they made some chat here and there which was something they have usually done from the past week

It serves as their tool to get to know each other better

In truth, aside from helping the needy, there is one more reason as to why Klein always bring food and that is to anger his 'number 1 enemy' that was Calix Blythe Strousse himself

The guy can currently be seen wolfing down Klein's food. His hands were moving at a rapid speed to put food in his mouth

It wasn't that much of an exaggeration to say that he looks like a squirrel that stored a lot of nuts inside his mouth

That look on Calix is ​​something that Klein enjoys seeing. Every time that he would see that, Klein will smirk evilly at Calix

His enemy is being defeated by the food he created. How can this not make Klein happy?

Even after being caught for the nth time, Calix's face still can't help but redden a bit because of the shame he was experiencing

Even if he doesn't want to, his body was unconsciously showing how much he likes Klein's food

The both of them were always fighting with each other but just why does Klein need to be a good cook?

Calix already know that back at the opening celebration in the University where Klein was the cook of his class's booth

However, cooking in the booth and cooking meals that Klein himself would eat and are really homemade was still different

That food that Klein created for the mini-restaurant already tastes good. However, his homemade food is even tastier!

Calix always has to swallow his pride and let Klein watch him eat. That experience isn't necessarily a good one as Klein was always watching him with despise and ridicule in his eyes

"S-stop staring at me" Calix said after swallowing all the food in his mouth. Although the food is good, the stare he was receiving was ruining his appetite

"Why not? I am feeding a stray bird, why can't I watch?"

Calix really looks like a bird pecking the bread from some tourist which makes Klein feel superior

As for the bird in question, he wants nothing but to peck Klein's head until he bleeds

If not for these delicious foods, Calix wouldn't stay to let himself get humiliated

"I'm not a bird. Maybe, you are the bird that always has something to say" Calix replied while calming himself. If not, he might use the fork in his hand to remove that smug look in Klein's face

"You're not a bird but you have the brain of one. Oh, my bad, I didn't mean to be honest— I mean to say that" as usual, Klein has spicy words to give to Calix

As for the others with them, they are already numb at this scene that has happened numerous times now

In fact, it sometimes became the pastime of the group whenever they don't have anything to do

"Let's see who has a bird's brain after the preliminary examination"

The two still haven't forgotten the bet that they had. If Klein were to score higher than Calix then he would let the guy had him do whatever he wants

On the other hand, if Klein wins, he would finally get the public apology from Calix that he wants

Just the thought of Calix thinking Klein likes him was enough for the latter to feel goosebumps

Never! Never in his life would he ever like Calix!

"We don't need to wait, it would be you that will lose" Klein retorted

Klein may not show it but he has confidence in his intelligence. If people were to say that he is smart, he would be humble and deny it

However, Klein knew to himself that almost all topics that he tried to learn have been understood by him with more ease compared to other people

If he were to put even more effort into his studies, he believes that he would win against Calix

This guy is tall and handsome. He was also famous in the university. Most of the time, guys like him are those that don't have much to offer in terms of academics

Klein is not generalizing but Calix has that looks that people would think he only has his face due to how handsome he is

"Klein, I'm on your side but it's best not to underestimate that guy. He's smarter than he looks" Cain warned before taking a whole dumpling into his mouth

"Wow, thank you for siding with your friend since childhood" Calix said in dismay

Seriously, who knows Cain longer? How can he have the audacity to side with the guy he only knows for weeks instead of his best friend since he was a kid?

"Hey, don't judge me. I have always sided with you for more than a decade already. How come when I side with another person for the first time, you are treating me like a bad guy?"

Calix can't believe that this man was this shameless when everyone knew the reason why he is siding with Klein

By now, almost everyone in the university already knows or speculated that Cain has a crush on Klein since he didn't even bother hiding it

It's just that, Cain always thinks of Klein as the moon in the sky. He can stare at it but the moon is too high above for him to obtain

His crush for Klein is the reason why Cain sides with him. Other than that, there is no other reason anymore

"Well then, in that case, I on the other hand will side in Calix!" Shane confidently announced while giving Calix her 'beautiful eyes' that makes her look as if some sort of bad spirit is possessing her

Shane is beautiful but she also has her goofy side that is giving Calix goosebumps all over his body

"Hey, how can you betray your boyfriend like that?" Cain asked as if he just had the biggest betrayal in his life

"What betrayal? I bet my life that if Klein were to say he likes you, you wouldn't even think twice before dumping me! You dare to talk about betrayal with me?"

"Hey! You know that Klein will never like me!"

"Really? That's what you focus on? You didn't even deny it!"

With that, Cain raises his head while whistling to avoid confronting Shane that pinches him in the ears

"Hmph, I can't believe how shameless you are!" Shane said angrily while putting a lot of pressure into her fingers causing Cain to cry out

"H-hey! Wait! Why are you acting as if you also wouldn't dump me if Calix starts courting you?"

Hearing that, Shane loses her grip on Cain's ears. It was now her time to raise her head while whistling as if she was enjoying the scenery inside the classroom

"See! You also didn't deny it!" Cain said while shaking his head and Shane gave him a 'hehehe'

Since the two of them are just dating casually, in the next second, they reconciled already as if the fight didn't happen at all

"Are they really together?" Liam asked after accepting the napkin from Tristan

In his innocent mind, people date because they like each other. They also have the goal of marrying their boyfriend/girlfriend in the future while building a happy family

His naivety can't grasp that people can also date people casually. They don't need to be serious with each other as long as there is consent from both parties

As an answer, Tristan just shrugs his shoulder while making sure that Liam managed to wipe all the food debris near his lips

As a clumsy guy that always needs someone to take care of him, there is still some curry sauce on the side of Liam's lips

Tristan can't help but shake his head while wiping the sauce with another piece of tissue

His movements were natural as if he has already done it before. Liam didn't even felt that it was weird and he accepted the pampering as if it was the most natural thing to do in the world

The two would really look like a pair of father and son if they are similar in appearance and if Tristan looks older

"My goal was to enjoy college life but why has it become so chaotic?" Klein muttered to himself although Calix still heard it

"Maybe because you are acting like a brat just because you like someone" Calix replied on his head but he didn't realize that he actually say it out loud causing Klein to hear it

"Mr. I assume too much is back at it again" Klein said out of rage and Calix that has already 'proven' multiple times that Klein likes him replied

"Mr. I am a liar is angry again because of the truth"
