The Love That Remains

"Sung Jun, You should have stayed away from me."

[I just want to be your gigolo.]

[I don't have money...In the future, I will buy you.]

Sung Jun becomes stiff when he hears the recording. He eyes me with disappointment. I shrug and walk away before he can consider snatching the recording. I go to ladies washroom - the safe zone where men cannot enter. I hide into a stall.

"I hope this works." I upload the recording on my Weibo and tag Sung Jun on it. It didn't take even a second. My Weibo is full of spams from Sung Jun's fangirls. I ignore the comments. It's time to make the next move.

I leave the washroom. I find the broadcasting room open with a boy taking a nap on the chair. I don't bother with him and broadcast the recording. The boy doesn't wake up. This makes things easy.

I make a copy of the recording and set it on loop for broadcasting. I glance at the sleeping boy once before leaving the broadcasting room. I grin when I find Sung Jun standing outside the broadcasting room with a grim look.

"Sung Jun, you can't pretend anymore."

He stares at me sadly and whispers, "If this makes you happy, then I will gladly accept it."

"Fang Aisa, Sung Jun," A female teacher shouts when she sees us. "See the headmaster."

I ignore Sung Jun and proceed toward the headmaster's office.

The headmaster doesn't call us directly to his office. He makes us wait in the waiting room. There is the young female teacher watching us with rage.

"Fang Aisa, it's you who forced him." She pinpoints all the blames on me, I admit that I did wrong, but I didn't force him to say anything. "It has to be you. Sung Jun never acted like this before. A fifteen years old girl can act promiscuously when she hasn't even grown her all of her hair. Did your parents not teach you well?"

I disregard her and check my Weibo to read the comments from Sung Jun's fangirls.

"Teacher Li, you shouldn't speak things like that." I cease scrolling the Weibo page when I hear Sung Jun. "She didn't force me to say those things."

Teacher Li's gaze softens when she looks at Sung Jun. "Sung Jun, you shouldn't try to protect her. I have seen her middle school records. Back then, she broke a boy's hand because he didn't submit to her demands. You don't lie for her. Speak the truth in front of the Headmaster."

"She is right. I broke someone's hand because he didn't submit to my demand." I keep my voice neutral. "My demand was that he should not make unwanted advances toward me."

"Don't lie!" Teacher Li yells at me. "You were always a characterless girl."

Just because I broke his hand and I have a bad academic record, the boy is right and I am wrong. I don't argue with this dull brain. Instead, I focus on my Weibo. Some comments on my Weibo post are funny.

GoneBoy99: I can't blv it. u r a gigolo...

GoneBoy99: ur father wl kill u.

GoneBoy99: I m alrdy at ur home. whr r u?

lv_u_mygod_jun: That's a fake recording. Our god Jun will tell us the truth

and many other fans: Joooooon, I will buy you. Don't sell yourself to bad women. Keep your purity intact.

PuppyGirl000: Who is this wicked witch who posted this to claim him all for herself?

"Send Sung Jun and Fang Aisa in." Teacher Wu glimpses at me meaningfully. Teacher Li huffs after he leaves. We go to the headmaster's office and find two figures sitting in front of the headmaster.

I have no idea why Fang Qi is here. This is not the first time when I got into trouble. It was Lan Hui Yao who came whenever there was a call from the school.

He must have a motive behind this.

There is a woman who resembles Sung Jun. I presume that she is his mother. She is draped formal suit, but her bearing is bright and warm.

Fang Qi and Ms. Sung are the polar opposite - yin and yang.

Now, I understand where Sung Jun got his temperament from.

"What do you have to say for yourself?" The headmaster asks us sternly.

"I will buy him in the future when I have a lot of money." I decided to speak first.

I will take the blame, but I will also ruin his image. I am not concerned. I just hope that he leaves me alone after this. They won't expel Sung Jun because he has a perfect score to this date. I can just get homeschooled if they suspend me.

I hope that I get suspended.

"Sung Jun wants to be a gigolo. So, I suggested that I will buy him in the future if he keeps his chastity intact."

The fangirls on Weibo gave me some ideas.

The headmaster coughs hard when he listens. Teacher Li barks, "You shameless girl! How can you say things like that?"

The headmaster peers at Fang Qi and wipes his sweat. Then, he scolds Teacher Li. "Mind your language, Miss Li."

"But-" Teacher Li has more to say. She doesn't notice Fang Qi's cold gaze.

"Leave." Headmaster shoos her away in hurry. "Send Teacher Wu. He said that he has something to say regarding Fang Aisa."

She hmphs in my direction and leaves.

"Fang Aisa, Sung Jun, were you just playing around?" The headmaster asks in a low voice. He inspects everyone. "You are a student. You shouldn't say things like that."

I realise that he is going to let go of the matter quickly. He doesn't want to offend the two figures in front of him- Ms. Sunshine and Mr. Iceman.

Sung Jun steps up at that moment.

"I said those things. I want to be a gigolo in the future. With my looks, it shouldn't be hard."

There is a long pause. He could have stayed quiet and escape this without any problem.

"Oh my!" Sung Jun's mother exclaims with fake surprise. "My son, why do you want to be a gigolo when you can become an actor with those godly looks of yours? You will lose your stamina if you become a gigolo and turn into a useless man like your father."

That...is unexpected.

"I will be her gigolo, mother," Sung Jun replies earnestly. "She said that she will buy me in the future."

"Is that so?" Her light brown eyes shift to me. "Miss Fang, do you really want to become his sugar mamma?"

"..."

What's wrong with his mother?

"I am an old-fashioned woman." She beams at me. "But, things are changing these days. We can't impose our will on the younger generation. We will wait until you earn the money to buy him. I will make sure that he doesn't lose his virginity."

This Sung family...all of them are crazy.

Suddenly, there is a heavy bang. Fang Qi scowls at me and asks, "Why do you say that you have no money? Can F Corporation not buy someone like him? How much money do you need?"

People have lost their rationality today.
