Don't Misunderstood!

October 4 the Year 2022

Stanford University

"Boo!" Shane said loudly to Klein that was trying to hide himself

Klein was too focused on looking at a certain door, the door where the members of the Drama and Film club that is part of his team will enter. It was their club room and Klein has been looking at everyone that would enter

Since all of his focus was on that door and the people that would enter it, he didn't expect that someone would surprise him like that

As a result, Klein accidentally banged his head into the wall and he gritted his teeth in pain

When Klein recovered a bit, he immediately glared at the smirking Shane

This woman's punishment was only for the duration of a single month. It already ended a few days ago

Hence, Shane can finally return to her former self without the risk of Klein making her life bitter

"Damn you, do you want me to punish you again?" Klein asked angrily. It seems like all of the hardship that this woman endured for an entire month is still not enough for her to change

"Oh please, we both know that you are a man of integrity. You wouldn't abuse your power just because I teased you" Shane replied confidently

Klein might have power over her and Liam but he's not the type to abuse that power

Shane just really did cross the line a month ago. If not, she would not suffer as much

"Yeah, but if you continue acting like that, I might as well abuse my power" Klein said in a threatening manner but Shane just scoffed. Klein is too kind to do that

"Well, if you keep acting like the way you are acting now, everyone in the university will realize that you have been avoiding Calix! They would also speculate of what juicy thing happened between you two!"

For over a week, Klein was indeed avoiding Calix. After he recovered his sense that got taken away from their kiss, the first thing he did was to ... run away

Yes, Klein runs away. When his mind functioned normally again, he panics and before he knew it, he was already running away

If that wasn't enough, he was also avoiding Calix for the past week. It was lucky for him that the club don't have any meeting for the time being as the student coordinator has to be changed

As for the reason? It was naturally because of Klein. He's not someone that would be too thin skin to ask his family for help (well, in some ways)

The result was that Dwayne dropped out of school in fear of further retaliation from Klein

That caused some delay but now, the club will start functioning normally again. And that also means that he would have more chances to meet Calix which he doesn't want to

Klein is clueless on how he should face that man!

"W-what a-are you t-talking about ?! I-I'm n-not avoiding h-him!" Klein said guiltily and Shane twirled her hair with her finger

"Say that again when you are not stuttering anymore"

Who would believe Klein if he were to act like this? Please, not even a kid would be fooled!

"T-there is really nothing!" Klein insisted and Shane rolled her eyes

"Oh, please, stop lying. I bet something 'juicy' has happened between you two" Shane said, pertaining to Klein crying in Calix's chest

She originally planned to use it against Klein but she thought of something. Her punishment was almost over at that time, wouldn't it be a big waste? Thus, she decided to keep it to herself first and use it when the time was right

That crying scene is the thing inside Shane's head but Klein is completely different

He can't help but recall the kiss that they shared, visible at how he unconsciously put his finger into his lips. It was like he can still feel Calix's lips on him. The sensation lingers even until this day

"W-what are you talking about ?! You are imagining things!" Klein said loudly, causing some people to look in his direction

Remembering the kiss made his cheeks blush and he marched towards the club room when he saw a certain someone that he don't wish to see

Calix's eyes locked on Klein and he was about to talk to him when ...

Woosh!

Klein immediately run away like a rabbit, he turned into the corner where he was before and encountered Shane that was grinning at him

"Oho ... I thought you weren't running away from Calix?" Shane teased. This friend of hers was really pure

It was just him being vulnerable and crying in Calix's chest, why is he so shy about it?

Shane was completely clueless at the real reason and she can only think that Kleon was being too innocent and shy

"Y-you ..." Klein wanted to refute that but he can't find suitable words. "Shut up!" Klein can only say that

——

"What's wrong with him?" Liam can't help but ask. He was currently with Calix's group

Well, he originally was only with Tristan. They secretly practiced singing in a secluded place in the university earlier and just met Cain and Calix along the way

"Beats me but I think he is avoiding my tight-lipped friend here. Come on man, just tell us what happened"

Cain 'knows' what happened between those two but he still wants to hear it from Calix's mouth

The problem was that Calix was being too tight-lipped. After all, both of them have kissed. How could he carelessly disclose that fact

"Shit, he's still avoiding me until now" Calix cursed in his head, completely ignoring Cain

It has been around a week already since Klein starts avoiding him as if he was some sort of a plague

He tried to talk to him numerous times but he didn't have the chance to. Klein is like a rabbit that would run away from the slightest sign of danger

"Could it be ... he's regretting the kiss? But I like it! Am I not a good kisser? Did he hate it?" Calix can't help but overthink

The kiss was a good experience for him and if possible, he wants to do it again. It seems like he forgot the reason why people kiss

Generally, there are two reasons for people to kiss. One is to be affectionate and the other is because of lust

The lust reason is already excluded. Although it awakens something inside Calix, it's not like he is a thirsty beast. His mind still hasn't come to the point that he wanted to do 'it' or whatever

But maybe because Calix doesn't have any experience in a relationship, the thought that maybe he is starting to harbor feelings for Klein never entered his mind

All he knows was that he likes that kiss and if possible, he wants to do it again. He can be quite a simpleton last time

While Calix was still absent-minded, trying to think of a way to have Klein talk to him, he along with the others entered the club room

"Haaa ... I feel like my throat was abused too much" Liam muttered. He only meant that his throat hurts due to too much singing

His innocent words could be interpreted wrong by other people though, visible in how many pairs of eyes landed at him

Fortunately, he has a 'guardian', a 'father', and a 'protector'. Tristan glared at the people looking at Liam, especially at the guys that seems to have been harboring evil intentions

It can't be helped, Liam just looks cuter, softer, and smoother than most women. Many guys wouldn't mind having him

As college is where a lot of people's hormones reached their peak, some of them were most lustful than other people

If no one is going to protect Liam, others might take advantage of it

Due to his frame and cold demeanor, students are unwilling to offend Tristan and one glare from him was already enough for the guys to remove their gaze from Liam

As soon as that happens, Tristan took his tumbler and gave it to Liam

The little guy accepted the offer naturally. He was already used to Tristan pampering him like this

It was like Tristan caring for him was already engraved in his instincts

"Yay! Thanks!" Liam happily said before he starts moistening his dry throat. The power soothes his pain a bit and he became satisfied

"Here!" Liam gave the tumbler back but instead of putting it back on his bag, Tristan opened the lead again, resulting in a second-hand kiss between the two

Liam was completely clueless about that. He didn't find it strange that Tristan drank water as soon as he drank from it

His mind was too simple and innocent to think in that way

"Hmm, I hope I'll get chosen too! With our friends' improved skills, I'm sure they would have a role in the web series!"
