My Secret Online Boyfriend is Esports God

Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm a freshman computer science student at H University, who is considered the most innocent girl on campus, but I
00:07have a secret.
00:08Every night at midnight, someone sends me voice messages, he calls me baby, remembers my period before I do.
00:15Fight strangers online who trash talk me and begs to meet in person while I keep saying no.
00:20Until I saw the live stream of Julian Blackwood, who is the country's most arrogant and popular esports god.
00:27He took my favorite tulip. His long eyelashes looked damp.
00:32Baby, I know you're watching. Stop hiding in my headphones and let me be yours in the flesh.
00:39It all started here. After a fight with my parents, I ran away from home to seek refuge with my
00:45brother.
00:46Alexander Hayes had no choice but to bring me back to his training base.
00:50A few boys who were originally playing games immediately gathered around.
00:55Alexander, you're such a dog. How could you lay your hands on someone so young?
01:00Alexander kicked the boy.
01:03Shut up. This is my actual biological sister.
01:06My brother gently rubbed my head.
01:09Chloe Hayes, say hi.
01:12Hello.
01:13I spoke obediently, quietly fixing the bangs that Alexander had messed up.
01:18The boys instantly turned into cavemen.
01:20Oh my god, her voice is so sweet. My heart is pounding like crazy.
01:25Alexander waved them off in disgust, shielding me behind him.
01:29Go pound somewhere else.
01:30My sister's voice is naturally like this.
01:33The door to the training room was pushed open.
01:36Julian Blackwood is here.
01:38The boys instantly dropped their smiles, returned to their seats, and put on their headsets.
01:43Seeing who it was, my brother's expression changed slightly.
01:46The man's gaze lingered on my pink pleated skirt for a few seconds, his voice as cold as his looks.
01:52Everyone, three hours of extra practice.
01:54No one dared to make a sound.
01:56The atmosphere fell into dead silence.
01:59Fly team captain, Julian.
02:01The country's top eSports star, with a face that rivaled...
02:10Sensing the man's gaze, I bit the bullet and stepped forward.
02:15Sensing the man who just told me to stop acting...
02:16Julian lowered his eyes, his voice flat.
02:19Speak properly. Stop acting cute.
02:22I stood there, frozen.
02:24His words hit like ice water.
02:27But I couldn't look away from that face.
02:29Then my pocket buzzed.
02:3399 new notifications.
02:36All from the same pinned contact.
02:37My online boyfriend wouldn't stop messaging me.
02:41And the man who just told me to stop acting cute was still staring at me like I was something
02:45disgusting.
02:47After Julian left, Alexander patted my shoulder comfortingly.
02:52Chloe, don't take it to heart.
02:54Julian isn't a bad guy.
02:55He just naturally dislikes girls with sweet styles.
02:58The others chimed in.
03:00Don't be sad.
03:02Julian hates the cutesy voice and princess dresses, but...
03:05We all love them.
03:06Yeah, you're so cute.
03:09Let's add each other on WhatsApp.
03:11Alexander went into defense mode again.
03:14Final warning.
03:15My sister just started her freshman year of college.
03:20She's very innocent, so don't even think about it.
03:23Then he looked at me, speaking with earnest intent.
03:26Chloe, ignore these punks.
03:28If they're friends with your brother, they can't be any good.
03:30The others curled their lips.
03:33Maybe your sister already has a boyfriend and just hasn't told you.
03:36My heart skipped a beat.
03:38I gripped my phone tightly, blocking the endless stream of new messages popping up from my online boyfriend.
03:46That night, I stubbornly refused to go home, and Alexander was worried about me staying in a hotel alone.
03:52He found an empty bedroom at the base and set it up simply for me.
03:56Chloe, I'm staying right next door.
03:59Call me if you need anything.
04:00Okay, thanks, Alexander.
04:02After closing the door, I finally dared to open my phone.
04:06The unread messages from my pinned contact showed 99+.
04:10Baby, we haven't played our duo matches today.
04:13Baby, it's been two hours.
04:15I, I miss you a little.
04:17Baby, did you go eat dinner?
04:19It's okay, I'll wait for you.
04:22Baby, someone on the forum just said that if a girlfriend doesn't reply for over three hours, it means she
04:28found someone new.
04:29They're crazy, they're crazy, I don't believe that at all.
04:33I was just feeling quite relieved.
04:35I clicked on the next voice message.
04:38The man's deliberately deepened, raspy voice sounded.
04:42Baby, is that guy better than me?
04:44Will he buy you a full set of skins?
04:47Can he remember your period?
04:49Does he have an eight-pack?
04:53Transfer, 1314.
04:56Transfer, 5200.
04:58Baby, do, do you still want me?
05:01I quickly typed to comfort him.
05:04Don't overthink it.
05:04I went to see my brother and didn't have time to check my phone.
05:07He was so excited that he made several typos.
05:11Hehe, I knew baby still loves me.
05:13Baby, why do you seem a bit unhappy?
05:15Although I didn't know how he could tell I was in a bad mood from just one short sentence.
05:20I had a fight with my parents, and my brother's friend seems to hate me a little.
05:25He was filled with righteous indignation.
05:27Does he hate you?
05:28Does he even deserve to?
05:30How could anyone be so blind?
05:33What he needs right now is to take a piss and look at his own reflection.
05:37Next time that guy runs his mouth, I'll curse him out for you.
05:42My online boyfriend's trash-talking skills were the best I had ever seen.
05:47During the summer break after the college entrance exams, I played games with a vengeance.
05:53After winning over a dozen matches, I was matched with a small group.
05:57Their skills were absolute trash.
05:59I played my heart out.
06:01But I still couldn't turn the tide.
06:03After a narrow defeat, the group accused me and another guy of dragging them down.
06:08I had never been good at arguing.
06:10I barely managed a few words before they harshly cut me off.
06:14Just as I was about to swallow my anger once again, the guy who had been silent spoke up faintly.
06:20I've seen toilets and bathrooms, but I've never seen one in someone's mouth.
06:25The group got anxious.
06:28Why are you cursing at people?
06:30I'm not cursing at people.
06:32The group was sarcastic.
06:34You're defending her so much.
06:35Are you her simp?
06:36Well, you guys are so good at tossing the blame.
06:40Are you chefs?
06:41The man fought one against three, not losing ground in the slightest.
06:45The group was roasted so badly they apologized dejectedly before leaving.
06:50Later, we bumped into each other a few more times by chance and naturally added each other on WhatsApp.
06:57I realized something about the man.
06:59Although he had a sharp tongue, he was actually a sweet puppy who knew exactly how to coax people.
07:05After a long silence, he suddenly acted cute.
07:09Baby, I want to see you.
07:11I tried to change the subject.
07:13You said you have an eight-pack, is that true?
07:15He sent a shy sticker.
07:17If I do, can we meet?
07:19I hesitated.
07:21What if you don't like me after we meet?
07:23How is that possible?
07:24Am I crazy?
07:25Baby, no matter what you look like, definitely, I will first and for being for first sight.
07:32He had begged to meet at least a dozen times, and I had brushed off every single one with half
07:38-hearted excuses.
07:39I hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to reply.
07:43Looking at my low battery, I decided to go find my brother to borrow a charging cable first.
07:48I opened the door and bumped right into a wall of a man.
07:52I looked up and met Julian's cold eyes.
07:55The hallway was dark.
07:58It was just the two of us.
08:00At such an intimate distance, the visual impact of the man's exquisite features was incredibly strong.
08:06Thin eyelids, thick and delicate eyelashes, and a tiny mole on his high-bridged nose.
08:11Striking and bold, my heart was still pounding from the collision.
08:15I could smell the faint scent of his shower gel, clean and sharp.
08:19Bro.
08:21Hello Julian.
08:22I changed my words at the last second.
08:25Glancing nervously at my Lotso Bear slip nightgown and the matching bow in my hair.
08:30It was the standard sweetheart outfit he hated the most.
08:34His gaze swept over me from head to toe.
08:36That one look made me want to sink into the floor.
08:40I held my breath.
08:41He didn't say anything else.
08:43He just turned and walked away, leaving me standing there in my ridiculous nightgown, heart still racing.
08:51Julian's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
08:55Chloe, you can live here, but we need to set some ground rules.
09:00Okay.
09:02I blinked, surprised that he actually knew my name.
09:06First, don't try to get close to me.
09:10I have no interest in making friends with kids.
09:13Second, unless necessary, keep communication and encounters to a minimum.
09:20I nodded.
09:22Third, don't act cute all the time.
09:26I watched Julian's back as he headed toward the bathroom.
09:30My brother came out of his room after seeing my message and handed me the charging cable.
09:36Chloe, was Julian mean to you again?
09:38I shook my head.
09:41Alexander yawned.
09:42Julian just doesn't know how to speak softly.
09:44A lot of girls who confessed to him in the past ended up crying from anger.
09:49Be a good girl, let's just ignore him from now on.
09:54Go to sleep.
09:55Julian disappeared into the bathroom.
09:58The same bathroom where my boyfriend always sent his voice messages from late at night.
10:04Back in my bedroom, my online boyfriend sent a photo.
10:08Long, slender fingers lifted the hem of his shirt, the knuckles tinged with a faint pink.
10:14Under the dim light, his abs looked even more defined.
10:17Further down, the image grew darker, showing a distinct bulge.
10:22As a good girl who grew up in a village with her grandparents.
10:30Flushing, I buried my face in the pillow.
10:33Only after a long while did I offer my praise.
10:37It's very big.
10:39Alexander had been obsessed with working out recently,
10:42occasionally asking me to feel if his biceps were big.
10:45So, praising a guy for having big muscles shouldn't be wrong, right?
10:51It's alright, just 18.
10:52I was confused.
11:00Or was I overthinking this whole thing?
11:02I stared at the chat screen, my face still warm.
11:07The screen kept showing my online boyfriend was typing.
11:14Baby, so, you actually care about this?
11:17Actually, what I meant just now was the dormant.
11:20State.
11:2121 isn't impossible if I try hard enough.
11:23You can inspect the goods after we meet in person.
11:26If I'm lying, I won't be able to lift my head for the rest of my life.
11:30And I don't mean the head up.
11:33Looking at this completely disjointed conversation,
11:36I finally realized what he meant.
11:39The heat in my cheeks, which had finally gone down, flared up again.
11:43I silently cursed.
11:45What a closet flirt.
11:47I hurriedly typed back,
11:49Good night.
11:51That night, I didn't sleep well.
11:57In my dream, under the relentless pleading of my online boyfriend,
12:01I agreed to meet in person.
12:03But when I arrived at the private cinema,
12:05he was nowhere to be seen.
12:07Just as I was getting unbearably anxious,
12:10someone suddenly patted my shoulder.
12:13I turned around happily,
12:14but I didn't see my clingy puppy.
12:16Instead, I saw Julian's fierce, handsome face.
12:20I subconsciously tried to escape,
12:22but the man pulled me back into the seat,
12:24trapping me between his arms.
12:26And slowly leaned in,
12:28an overwhelming sense of dominance completely enveloped me.
12:32Chloe, want to inspect the goods?
12:36I jolted awake.
12:37While washing up,
12:38I didn't know if it was the lingering effect of the nightmare.
12:42But I couldn't shake the feeling that the base's bathroom
12:45looked unusually similar to something.
12:47The background of the abs photo my online boyfriend,
12:50sent last night.
12:52During advanced math class,
12:54my brother sent a WhatsApp message.
12:57Chloe, Julian is treating us to a big meal today.
13:01Don't go to the cafeteria after school.
13:03I'll come pick you up later.
13:05Thinking of my three-point agreement with Julian,
13:08I was just about to politely decline.
13:11Alexander sent a voice message.
13:13My phone is about to die.
13:14Don't wander off from the gate.
13:16I'll be there soon.
13:17I had no choice.
13:22Julian stopped in front of me,
13:24drawing envious glances from many passing students.
13:27I had no mood to admire the luxury car,
13:30looking around for Alexander's electric scooter,
13:32until the owner of the luxury car rolled down the window
13:35and spoke coldly.
13:37Chloe, your brother got detained for not wearing a helmet.
13:40Even with sunglasses on,
13:41Julian was still recognized.
13:43A few nearby students screamed his name and rushed over.
13:49Julian!
13:50It's actually Julian!
13:51I'm your fan!
13:55Get in.
13:56I was just about to pull the passenger door open
13:59when the man reminded me.
14:00Get in the back.
14:01After I took my seat,
14:03Julian lightly stepped on the gas pedal
14:05and made an apologetic gesture to the fanatic fans.
14:08The passenger seat is reserved for my wife.
14:13It sounded like an explanation,
14:15but also like a flex.
14:17Oh.
14:18I nervously pinched the bow on my skirt,
14:21racking my brain for a response.
14:23She must be very beautiful, right?
14:26The man stayed silent for a moment,
14:29his voice deep.
14:31She's quite shy.
14:32We haven't met in person yet.
14:35But no matter what she looks like,
14:37she's the most beautiful in my heart.
14:39My brother once mentioned that Julian
14:41came from a prominent family with immense wealth.
14:44Playing esports was purely a personal hobby for him.
14:47For a princeling like him to have a relationship
14:50without ever meeting,
14:51it must be an arranged business marriage.
14:54There's no way he's doing the online dating thing like me.
14:58Seeing Julian look a bit lonely,
15:00I clumsily comforted him.
15:02Maybe you've already met,
15:04you just didn't recognize each other.
15:06Impossible.
15:08People in love have a connection.
15:10I would definitely recognize her at first glance.
15:13Talking about his girlfriend,
15:14the corners of Julian's lips curled up slightly,
15:18revealing a faint smile that was drop-dead gorgeous.
15:21But when his gaze fell on me,
15:23the temperature suddenly dropped.
15:25Alexander said you're a fan of mine?
15:29How could my brother,
15:30that big mouth,
15:32blab about everything?
15:33Find another esports player to like.
15:35I hope you understand.
15:37My girlfriend
15:38definitely wouldn't want me having a female fan
15:41who stares straight at me
15:42for more than 10 seconds every time.
15:46Sorry.
15:48I awkwardly looked away.
15:50We arrived at the dinner spot in silence.
15:53After getting out of the car,
15:54the boys surrounded me.
15:56Without Alexander to block them,
15:58their attentiveness left me a bit overwhelmed.
16:03Chloe,
16:04while your brother isn't here,
16:05let's add each other on WhatsApp,
16:07okay?
16:07I recognized him as the guy
16:09who had been the most enthusiastic toward me
16:11when we first met,
16:12Jason Smith.
16:14The others let out meaningful laughs.
16:16Julian,
16:16we're reporting this.
16:17There's a toad hitting on Chloe.
16:19I also instinctively looked toward Julian for help.
16:22Dating isn't banned on the team.
16:24No need to report to me.
16:25Julian didn't even bat an eyelid,
16:27his well-defined fingers tapping on his phone screen.
16:30At the same time,
16:32my WhatsApp kept popping up with messages
16:34from my online boyfriend.
16:36Baby,
16:36you forgot your good morning kiss today.
16:41By the way, baby,
16:42I recently met a girl
16:44whose voice sounds a bit like yours.
16:45But don't worry,
16:46I never even looked her in the eye.
16:48My finger hovered over the screen.
16:50A girl whose voice sounds like mine,
16:53he never even looked her in the eye?
16:55My boyfriend's next messages
16:57came through one after another.
16:59She's obviously putting on a cutesy voice on purpose.
17:02It's nowhere near as nice as my baby's natural voice.
17:05I thought of how Julian told me to stop acting cute.
17:08How he refused to look at me.
17:10How he had no interest in making friends with kids.
17:12A strange feeling crept into my chest,
17:15but I shook it off before it could take shape.
17:17There was no way.
17:18Absolutely no way.
17:20Baby,
17:21aren't I amazing?
17:22Can you reward your good boy with a hug in person?
17:26Day N of wanting to meet you in real life.
17:28I stared at the screen for a long time.
17:31Somewhere in this city,
17:32my boyfriend was counting the days
17:34until we could finally meet.
17:36And I still had no idea that we already had.
17:39Or that the man who told me to stop acting cute
17:41was counting them too.
17:44Waiting for the food was incredibly boring.
17:46Jason and the others suggested playing a round of a game
17:50and invited me to join.
17:51My polite refusal failed,
17:53so I had to pause the chat with my boyfriend.
17:56I'm out with friends right now.
17:57I'll text you later tonight.
17:59The other side instantly turned into a whiny baby.
18:02Baby,
18:03how many friends?
18:05Guys or girls?
18:06It's okay,
18:06I'm not jealous,
18:07just asking casually.
18:08Me,
18:09five or six?
18:10All guys?
18:12The next second,
18:13Julian suddenly stood up from his chair with a swoosh,
18:16startling me.
18:17A teammate turned to Julian,
18:19suggesting he add me as a friend in the game
18:21and play a round together.
18:23I couldn't help but feel a bit expectant too.
18:25As a former fan of his skills,
18:27I couldn't resist wanting to seize the chance
18:30to play a game with my idol.
18:31I don't play casual matches.
18:34I showed my game screen,
18:37trying to prove myself.
18:38Actually,
18:39my skills are okay.
18:40I bow-heat drag you down.
18:42Take a look.
18:44Sorry,
18:44I don't add the opposite sex.
18:47Also,
18:48don't forget our three rules.
18:51Julian didn't even deign to glance at my phone.
18:54But his gaze did drift toward it for a split second.
18:57My screen was still lit up from my last message to my boyfriend.
19:02Baby,
19:02I miss you so much.
19:04I quickly turned the phone face down on the table.
19:07Did he see that?
19:08He got up and went outside,
19:10showing off his self-discipline in this manner.
19:12This answer was expected by the teammates.
19:16Don't be sad,
19:16Chloe.
19:17Even without Julian,
19:18the rest of us can carry you.
19:20Jason noticed my disappointment
19:22and leaned in close to my ear
19:23to comfort me in a low voice.
19:25I subconsciously dodged him.
19:28I don't really like close contact with people
19:30I'm not familiar with.
19:31Chloe,
19:32Alexander said you never play games,
19:34so let's start with the easiest.
19:36Jason stopped mid-sentence
19:37and looked at me in disbelief.
19:39Wait,
19:40Chloe,
19:41your in-game playtime
19:42is even longer than mine.
19:44I play in secret.
19:47Don't tell my brother.
19:48Jason's mouth twitched,
19:50and he gave a dry laugh.
19:53You're quite a unique good girl,
19:55aren't you?
19:56The match ended.
19:58The boys looked at me
19:59with a mix of excitement
20:00and astonishment.
20:02Holy crap!
20:03It's like watching Juliet
20:04uproot a weeping willow
20:06in real life.
20:07Chloe,
20:08with such an innocent face,
20:10how is your play style so brutal?
20:13You've got a bit of Julian's vibe.
20:16It's a pussy Julian didn't join just now,
20:18otherwise he'd definitely
20:20change his mind about you.
20:21Alexander arrived late,
20:23holding a traffic ticket
20:24and a newly bought green helmet.
20:26The boys loyally changed the subject,
20:29not mentioning a word
20:30about my gaming,
20:31after we had our fill
20:33of food and drinks.
20:34Back at the base,
20:36everyone gathered in twos and threes,
20:38laughing and messing around.
20:40Only the air around Julian
20:41was terrifyingly heavy.
20:43Ever since he got back,
20:45he had been staring at his phone,
20:47looking as if he wanted
20:48to burn a hole through it.
20:50Alexander was clueless.
20:52Who pissed off Julian?
20:54No idea,
20:55but anyone who can make
20:56our Julian this flustered
20:57is definitely a badass.
20:58I worship him.
21:00Let's all be careful today.
21:01Nobody walk into the line of fire.
21:03Alexander looked at me and warned.
21:06Especially you, Chloe.
21:07Stay out of Julian's way.
21:10By the way, Chloe,
21:12you've been out for a few days now.
21:14When do you plan to go home
21:15and apologize to mom and dad?
21:17I hung my head,
21:19staying silent.
21:20Alexander sighed.
21:22Chloe,
21:23you've always been the most obedient
21:24since we were kids.
21:25Why do you have to be
21:26so stubborn about this?
21:28Alexander,
21:29I'm a little sleepy.
21:30I gave Alexander a sweet smile,
21:32then headed straight back
21:34to the bedroom.
21:35In just the time it took to eat,
21:37my online boyfriend
21:38had sent over a dozen messages.
21:40I patiently typed back
21:42to each one.
21:43He sent a crying meme.
21:45Baby wifey,
21:46I lied.
21:46I'm jealous,
21:47I care a lot,
21:48and I'm super duper
21:49incredibly unhappy.
21:50The wild men out there
21:52are all bad news,
21:54absolutely do not
21:55give them your contact infos.
21:57Too late,
21:58Jason had already
21:59added my WhatsApp.
22:00Besides,
22:01wasn't he also a wild man
22:03who relentlessly pestered me
22:04for my WhatsApp back then?
22:06He forgot his roots so quickly,
22:08my online boyfriend
22:09was so mad
22:10he couldn't even type properly.
22:12Why didn't anyone
22:13help you reject the harassment?
22:14If I were there,
22:15I definitely wouldn't
22:16have let him succeed.
22:19During the party,
22:20I secretly drank
22:21quite a bit of the whiskey
22:22Julian brought.
22:23I wasn't usually a drinker,
22:25but everyone kept toasting.
22:28Julian's teammates
22:29were so enthusiastic.
22:30I lost track
22:32of how many glasses I'd had.
22:33By midnight,
22:35my head was spinning,
22:36in the early morning,
22:37my mouth was terribly dry.
22:39I went to the living room
22:41to pour a glass of water.
22:42Half asleep,
22:44I gradually pushed open
22:45the ajar bedroom door
22:46and prepared to go back to sleep.
22:48The sheets felt different,
22:50cooler.
22:50They smelled faintly of cologne.
22:52My drunk brain
22:53didn't register any of this
22:55when I rolled over,
22:56my arm bumped into something hard.
22:58Following a muffled groan,
23:00I was forcefully lifted
23:01from the bed
23:02like a little chick.
23:03Forced awake,
23:04I looked around
23:05at the luxurious decor.
23:07Then at the man's gloomy face,
23:09my hungover brain
23:10instantly sobered up.
23:13Julian was only wearing shorts.
23:15The muscle lines
23:17of his bare upper body
23:18were as smooth
23:19and handsome as a sculpture.
23:21A silver necklace
23:22at his collarbone
23:23gleamed with a cold light,
23:25further highlighting
23:26his long, fair neck.
23:28His Adam's apple
23:29even had a faint pink flush.
23:31His lean waist
23:32didn't have an ounce
23:33of extra fat.
23:34And further down was.
23:36I squeezed my eyes shut.
23:38I looked at my own palm,
23:40still feeling the phantom sensation
23:42of what I'd touched.
23:43Recalling the sensation
23:45just now,
23:46a layer of cold sweat
23:47broke out on my forehead.
23:49The number 21
23:50inexplicably popped
23:51into my head.
23:53Chloe.
23:54Julian casually grabbed
23:55a white t-shirt
23:56and pulled it on,
23:57every word seemingly
23:58squeezed through his teeth.
24:02I'm sorry.
24:03I think I walked
24:04into the wrong room.
24:05My legs went weak
24:06from fear.
24:07My brain completely
24:08short-circuited.
24:09I could only mutter
24:11I'm sorry
24:11over and over again.
24:13Get out.
24:14Julian forced down
24:15his emotions.
24:16I had just touched
24:17the doorknob
24:18when Alexander
24:19pushed open
24:20the bedroom door.
24:21I quickly darted
24:22back to Julian's bed,
24:24covering myself
24:24tightly with the blanket.
24:26Julian,
24:27that batch of air-freated
24:28tulips you bought
24:29is almost here.
24:30The boss wants you
24:31to give him
24:32a specific address.
24:33Hiding under the covers,
24:34I didn't even dare
24:35to breathe.
24:36Got it.
24:37Julian,
24:38you've never liked
24:39flowers and plants.
24:40Alexander's footsteps
24:41suddenly drew closer.
24:43Don't tell me
24:44you're giving them
24:45to a girl.
24:46Julian gave a soft.
24:48Hmm.
24:49As if he had just
24:50stumbled upon
24:51the juiciest gossip,
24:52Alexander flopped
24:53onto the bed in shock,
24:55crushing my foot.
24:56What the hell?
24:57It moves!
24:58Julian,
25:00did you get a pet?
25:02None of your
25:03damn business.
25:05Get lost
25:06and go train.
25:08Alexander had just
25:09started getting
25:09suspicious when
25:10Julian...
25:11Acting cute
25:12won't work.
25:12Pack your bags
25:13and move out
25:14before tonight.
25:15After such a huge
25:16misunderstanding,
25:17even if Julian
25:18didn't kick me out,
25:19I wouldn't have
25:20the face to keep
25:21living under the
25:22same roof as him
25:23anyway.
25:23When my brother
25:24found out I was
25:25moving out,
25:26he just assumed
25:27I had figured
25:28things out.
25:28That I had finally
25:29stopped throwing
25:30a tantrum at our
25:31parents.
25:33Chloe,
25:34let's keep in touch.
25:35Jason reluctantly
25:37waved his phone,
25:38revealing my
25:39tulip profile picture.
25:41Alexander rolled
25:42up his sleeves.
25:43Oh, you're dead,
25:44Jason.
25:45You've got some nerve
25:46hitting on my
25:46sister behind my
25:47back.
25:48She's just a kid.
25:49The two of them
25:50chased each other
25:51around, and the
25:52others simply stopped
25:53training altogether.
25:54When one person is
25:56in trouble, everyone
25:57else just adds to
25:58the chaos.
25:59I silently backed
26:00away from the
26:01battlefield.
26:01When people feel
26:03helpless, they
26:04automatically revert
26:05to kindergartners
26:06waiting to be
26:07picked up,
26:07subconsciously seeking
26:09comfort from the
26:09person they like,
26:10staring at the chat
26:11window with my
26:12online boyfriend.
26:14I gathered my
26:14courage and slowly
26:15typed,
26:16I've thought about
26:17it.
26:17Do you want to
26:18meet?
26:19I'm at H
26:20University.
26:21Just as I was
26:22about to hit send,
26:23a familiar voice
26:24suddenly drifted
26:25out from the
26:25nearby bathroom.
26:28The voice from
26:29the bathroom was
26:30recording a voice
26:30message.
26:32Boo-hoo, wifey,
26:33give me a hug.
26:35I got spooked
26:36today and need a
26:37kiss to feel
26:38better.
26:39That tone.
26:41That exact
26:42phrasering.
26:43Every single word
26:44was identical to
26:45the voice messages
26:46sitting in my
26:47pinned chat.
26:48Baby, I bought
26:50your favorite
26:51tulips.
26:52Can you give me
26:54a chance to give
26:55them to you in
26:55person?
26:56Julian.
26:57The person in
26:58that bathroom was
26:59Julian.
27:00Julian's inherently
27:01intimidating face
27:02overlapped with my
27:04online boyfriend's
27:05deep, raspy voice.
27:06The world tilted
27:08sideways.
27:09My blood ran
27:10cold.
27:11The boy who
27:11texted me good
27:12night, baby,
27:13every single
27:14night.
27:14The boy who
27:15sent me jealous
27:16paragraphs just
27:17hours ago.
27:18He was the same
27:19person who told me
27:20to pack my bags
27:21and get out.
27:22My hand trembled,
27:24and the drafted
27:24message was sent.
27:26Without a second
27:26hesitation, I
27:28immediately chose
27:29to unsend it.
27:31The sound of a
27:33phone dropping
27:33came from the
27:34bathroom.
27:35Julian's smile
27:36vanished before it
27:37could even fully
27:38form.
27:39I jogged all the
27:40way back to the
27:41bedroom, grabbed my
27:42suitcase, and headed
27:43straight for the
27:44base's main gate.
27:45My hands were
27:47shaking so badly I
27:48could barely zip it
27:49shut.
27:49My heartbeat and
27:51breathing were a
27:51complete mess.
27:53That day's nightmare
27:54had actually come
27:55true.
27:55Even though Julian
27:57and my boyfriend
27:58sounded similar, I
27:59always thought my
28:00secretly passionate,
28:01clingy online
28:02boyfriend and the
28:03aloof, ascetic Julian
28:05were different.
28:06Completely different
28:07species.
28:08The difference
28:09between them was
28:10bigger than that
28:11between a human
28:12and a dog.
28:13But the exact same
28:14voice message coming
28:15from my pinned
28:16contact forced me to
28:17face this cold,
28:18hard truth.
28:20Alexander let go of
28:22Jason's collar and
28:23stopped me.
28:26Chloe, why are you
28:27leaving in such a
28:28hurry?
28:28I'll have mom and
28:29dad drive over to
28:30pick you up.
28:31My phone kept
28:31pinging with
28:32notification sounds.
28:34Julian was sending
28:35a relentless stream
28:36of messages.
28:37Baby, I saw it.
28:38Why did you unsend
28:39the message?
28:40Did I do something
28:41wrong?
28:42Baby, where are you
28:43right now?
28:44Can we talk?
28:45Anything is fine,
28:46just don't ignore me.
28:48Don't you love your
28:48most loyal puppy
28:49anymore?
28:50Even through the
28:51screen, I could feel
28:52his helplessness and
28:53panic.
28:54I was actually a bit
28:56curious about something.
28:57What would that
28:58pitiful, shattered
28:59expression look like on
29:01Julian's usually proud
29:02face?
29:03Forcing down this
29:04bizarre thought, I
29:05gently shook my head.
29:07Alexander, don't call
29:09mom and dad.
29:09I'm just going to take a
29:11cab straight back to
29:12campus.
29:13That works too.
29:14Alexander nodded.
29:16I'll ask Julian for
29:17some time off and go
29:20with you.
29:20It's okay.
29:21I can go by myself.
29:23Halfway through my
29:24sentence, Julian's low,
29:26cold voice suddenly rang
29:27out above my head.
29:29I'll take you.
29:30Everyone was a bit
29:31stunned.
29:32Alexander's eyes seemed
29:33to say, since when did
29:35Julian become so tender
29:37toward women?
29:39I hung my head, avoiding
29:41eye contact with the man.
29:43I don't want to trouble
29:44you to make a special trip.
29:46Julian domineeringly took
29:47my suitcase.
29:48The faint, elegant scent
29:50on him was exactly the
29:52same as the smell on
29:53the blanket.
29:56Don't overthink it.
29:57It's just on the way.
29:58I'm heading to H
29:59University too.
30:00His indifferent tone
30:01made me secretly hope
30:03for something, that he
30:04could remain this arrogant
30:05and untamed on the day
30:07he learned the truth.
30:08I was never good at
30:09rejecting people to begin
30:11with.
30:11Even as Julian put my
30:13suitcase into the car, I
30:14couldn't manage to
30:15articulate a proper
30:16refusal.
30:17I could only bite the
30:18bullet and sit in the
30:19back seat.
30:23Chloe, you're a freshman
30:24in the computer science
30:25department at H
30:26University.
30:28Yeah.
30:29Among the freshmen at
30:30your school, is there a
30:31girl with a tuplet
30:32profile picture whose
30:34game ID and WhatsApp
30:35name are both love's
30:36iced cola?
30:37I gripped the hem of my
30:38skirt tightly.
30:40I don't play games.
30:41I don't know her.
30:44Julian rarely softened
30:45his tone, sounding almost
30:47pleading.
30:48If you get any news
30:49about her, could you
30:50tell me immediately?
30:51She is my lover.
30:53The word lover smashed
30:54heavily against the bottom
30:56of my heart.
30:57I had planned to stay
30:58silent the whole way, but
30:59I couldn't help asking.
31:01Do you care a lot about
31:02this online relationship?
31:05Of course.
31:06She is the first person I've
31:07ever liked, and she will be
31:08the last.
31:10She had alting agreed to
31:11meet me, but now she
31:13ignoring me.
31:14Julian's voice gradually
31:15lowered, almost muttering to
31:17himself, the corners of his
31:19eyes turning slightly red.
31:21I tactfully hinted, people
31:23change.
31:24Julian's tone was firm.
31:27After she appeared in my life,
31:28everyone else paled in
31:29comparison.
31:30In this life, I will only love
31:32her.
31:33It's impossible for me to
31:35ever fall for anyone else.
31:36Oh, then I'm afraid you're
31:38destined to die alone.
31:41After arriving at the school,
31:43Julian offered to add my
31:44WhatsApp so we could exchange
31:46information anytime.
31:49Sorry, my social circle is
31:51very small.
31:52I probably won't cross paths
31:54with your girlfriend, so I
31:55can't help you.
31:56After saying that, I dragged my
31:58suitcase and walked toward the
32:00dorm building without looking
32:01back.
32:02I didn't notice Julian
32:03standing rooted to the spot,
32:05staring at my back with a
32:07swirl of complex emotions in
32:09his eyes.
32:09After I had completely calmed
32:11down in my dorm room, I
32:13unlocked my phone.
32:15Julian had been sending me
32:16new messages almost
32:17non-stop.
32:19Memories of sweet moments
32:20with my online boyfriend
32:21flashed in my mind.
32:23Alternating with the image of
32:25Julian fiercely telling me to
32:26stop acting spoiled.
32:28After a moment of hesitation, I
32:30blocked the pinned contact on
32:32WhatsApp.
32:34I've always been someone
32:36prone to running away.
32:37When I was two years old, my
32:39parents left me with my
32:40grandparents and took my
32:41brother to the city.
32:43I never complained.
32:45Everyone called me sensible and
32:47obedient.
32:48But the truth was simpler.
32:50I ran away from everything I
32:52couldn't face.
32:53In middle school, I hid web
32:55novels inside my textbooks while
32:57teachers praised my
32:58diligence.
32:58My classmates never suspected
33:01that the quiet top student was
33:03breaking every gaming record in
33:04school.
33:05When my university acceptance
33:06letter arrived, my parents
33:08finally learned the truth.
33:10Their docile daughter hadn't
33:12chosen the teaching degree they
33:13wanted.
33:14And now, now I was doing it again,
33:17blocking him instead of facing
33:18him.
33:19I would never change myself for
33:21anyone, not even for the
33:23boyfriend I loved the most.
33:26That evening, when my dorm
33:28president returned, she gave me a
33:30warm hug.
33:31We were in the same class, and
33:34she was the very first friend I
33:35made when the semester started.
33:38Chloe?
33:39Why didn't you watch Julian's
33:40livestream today?
33:42You've never missed a single one
33:43before.
33:44She unlocked her tablet and
33:46placed it between us on screen.
33:48Julian logged out of his main
33:50gaming account and logged into an
33:52obscure alt account.
33:53seeing that familiar username and
33:55profile picture, my heart skipped a
33:58beat.
33:58Why does Julian look so pitiful
34:00today?
34:01My dorm president also looked
34:02puzzled.
34:03What happened to his usual you're
34:05all just peasants arrogance?
34:06Julian adjusted his headset, his
34:09long eyelashes looking slightly
34:10damp.
34:11I know you're watching.
34:12Both my dorm president and I
34:14froze.
34:15From my online boyfriend's
34:17perspective, he shouldn't have
34:18known that I loved watching
34:20Julian's livestreams.
34:21Unless, unless he had always known
34:23exactly who was watching.
34:27Baby, I told you before that if I
34:29ever saw you, I'd recognize you
34:32immediately.
34:32I was too full of myself.
34:35It's true that people in love have a
34:37special connection, but that doesn't
34:38change the fact that I'm a massive
34:40idiot.
34:41The live chat exploded with comments.
34:43Is this still my arrogant, invincible
34:46Julian?
34:46And who the hell is baby?
34:48Whoever you are, get out of our
34:50Julian's body right now.
34:51Oh my god, is Julian begging his
34:54girlfriend for forgiveness?
34:56Heartbroken, I'm literally his
34:58girlfriend Stan.
35:00Julian looked up, his gaze meeting
35:02mine right through the screen.
35:04How could I be so stupid?
35:06You were right by my side this whole
35:08time and I only just realized it.
35:11Baby, my messages aren't going
35:13through.
35:15I really had no other choice but to
35:17talk to you through this live
35:18scream.
35:19Julian choked up slightly.
35:21Baby, even though I've already met
35:23you many times as Julian, but I want
35:25to see you one more time as your most
35:27loyal puppy, okay?
35:29The more I listened, the more
35:31something felt off.
35:33I unlocked my phone and found that my
35:35brother had sent me a WhatsApp message
35:37a few hours ago.
35:38Chloe, Julian asked me for your
35:40WhatsApp earlier.
35:42But the moment I opened it, he took
35:44one look at your profile picture and
35:46nickname, then immediately locked
35:48himself in the study.
35:50It was so weird.
35:51Oh right, he also seemed to
35:53interrogate me about why I said you
35:54didn't know how to play any games
35:55back then.
35:57I was telling the truth.
35:58I really don't know what's wrong
36:00with Julian.
36:01Everything suddenly clicked, so Julian
36:03already knew I was his online
36:05girlfriend.
36:05I had thought this would be exposed
36:07sooner or later.
36:08I just didn't expect it to be this
36:10fast.
36:12The number of viewers in the live
36:14stream kept growing.
36:16Hashtag esports god volunteers do be
36:18a puppy.
36:19This trending topic was climbing fast.
36:22I hesitated for a moment, then pulled
36:24Julian out of my blacklist.
36:26No matter which identity, rule number
36:29two of our three-point agreement.
36:32Minimal communication, minimal meetings.
36:36You said that yourself.
36:38Julian was filled with remorse.
36:41Baby, that three-point agreement was
36:43the absolute worst decision I've ever
36:45made in my life.
36:46I must have been kicked in the head by a
36:47donkey to suggest something so
36:48ridiculous.
36:51I'm regretting it so much my guts are
36:53turning green.
36:54Can we just pretend everything I said
36:57before is void, please?
36:58Me.
36:59You don't like sweethearts, but my closet
37:02is full of little dresses.
37:04Meeting up will only add to the
37:06annoyance, so let's just forget it.
37:08He kept typing.
37:11Baby, please, give me one chance.
37:14Just one.
37:15I'll wait outside your dorm until you're
37:17ready to see me.
37:18I stared at those words for a long
37:20time.
37:21One chance.
37:22The man who told me to stop acting
37:24cute wanted one chance.
37:26The same man who claimed he had no
37:28interest in making friends with kids.
37:30I locked my phone screen and tossed it
37:32onto my bed.
37:34Not today.
37:35Maybe not tomorrow either.
37:36He needed to learn what it felt like
37:38to be on the other side of that cold
37:40wall he'd built.
37:43Julian was so anxious he wished he
37:45could type 800 words a second,
37:47sending over a bunch of typos.
37:50After that, he opted to just send voice
37:52messages.
37:53Baby, how could I not like it?
37:55Back then in the game you just said a
37:57few soft words and had me mesmerized
37:59like an idiot.
38:00I just kept knowing you were my
38:01tulip girlfriend.
38:03I just kept feeling like you were
38:04too similar to her.
38:06Your voice, your personality, even
38:08your outfits.
38:09I felt like those traits belonged
38:11exclusively to my girlfriend, which
38:12is why I acted like I didn't like
38:14them.
38:19Baby, is my explanation terrible?
38:22I'm sorry.
38:23I shouldn't have been fierce with you.
38:24Can you just pretend I went crazy
38:26after getting bitten by a dog, or got
38:28poised by eating hallucinogenic wild
38:30mushrooms?
38:31Baby, I'm downstairs at your dorm.
38:34It's cold, but I'm not leaving until
38:37you look at me.
38:40Hearing this, I pulled back the curtains
38:42and took a look.
38:44The autumn nights in the north were cold.
38:47Julian was dressed thinly, standing
38:49under the streetlight, casting a long
38:51shadow.
38:52Just standing there, he looked like a
38:54scene straight out of a melodrama.
38:56I threw on a fluffy coat and went
38:58downstairs.
38:59A bright light flashed in the man's
39:01cold eyes, and he took the steps too
39:03at a time to greet me.
39:07Baby, why are you wearing so little?
39:09Are you cold?
39:10I shook my head.
39:12Julian rarely smiled like such a fool.
39:15He deliberately sneezed a few times.
39:17I'm not cold either, really.
39:18Though if we could go somewhere indoors
39:20with just the two of us, it might be a bit warmer.
39:26But it's okay, baby.
39:27I really don't need to.
39:30You'd better just call me Chloe.
39:33Baby, why are you being so cold to me?
39:35The corners of Julian's lips gradually sank, looking incredibly wronged.
39:39Didn't you say not to act cute at the drop of a hat?
39:43You broke the rules.
39:45Julian looked as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
39:49I was wrong, baby.
39:52Please don't hold it against a stupid pig like me, okay?
39:55The word idiot inexplicably hit my funny bone.
39:59I tried so hard to hold back my laughter that my whole body trembled, and I accidentally stepped
40:04on the edge of the stairs.
40:06Just as I was about to hit the ground, Julian caught me in his arms in time.
40:10The man's clothing was thin, and his blazing body heat was scorching.
40:15I could hear the sound of his heartbeat, even though I repeatedly insisted I was fine.
40:22Julian was still worried and dragged me to the hospital for a checkup.
40:26In the end, not only did they find absolutely nothing wrong, but we also missed the dorm
40:31curfew.
40:32Left with no choice, I had to follow Julian back to his base.
40:36Along the way, the man kept apologizing and admitting his fault.
40:40If I hadn't seen the corners of his lips twitching upward, harder to suppress than the recoil
40:45of an AK, I might have actually believed it wasn't on purpose.
40:49Julian completely dropped his usual aloofness.
40:53He was talking an absurd amount.
40:55I finally realized that a clingy puppy online could be so suffocating in reality.
41:00Perhaps my annoyance was too obvious.
41:03Julian actually shut his mouth for the second half of the trip, looking incredibly wronged.
41:08After arriving at the room, I looked at the tulips filling the bedroom.
41:12I gently stroked the petals, they were as thin as cicada wings.
41:17My gloomy mood was lit up bit by bit.
41:19Julian suggested playing games together.
41:22You told me before in each my esports icon, and then I like the APY team.
41:26We are their rival.
41:28So, we'd better not together.
41:31I sat on the edge of the bed.
41:33Julian maintained a half-kneeling posture, looking up at me.
41:37He looked like he was about to shatter, his voice teary.
41:42Baby, let the past die with yesterday, and let the future be born with today.
41:48Huh?
41:49The me of yesterday is not the me of today.
41:53Just pretend the previous Julian has disappeared.
41:57Let me be your fan now, okay?
42:01Or I can change my team's name to APY.
42:06Chloe, I...
42:07I really don't know what to do anymore.
42:10Listening to Julian's sophistry, I felt both amused and heartbroken.
42:16Julian wiped away the moisture seeping from the corners of his eyes.
42:20Baby, I like you.
42:22Give me a chance to woo you again, please.
42:25No matter Saul, you push me away.
42:28I bowie give up.
42:30While I was dazed, Julian boldly hugged my waist...
42:33Or you can yell at me to vent your anger.
42:35...rubbing his fluffy head against me.
42:37Julian!
42:38Here.
42:39I cleared my throat, trying to keep my face expressionless.
42:45Don't, you think you're acting like a clingy simp right now?
42:48It was my first time being mean to someone, and I had no experience.
42:52As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized they might have been a bit too harsh.
42:57At that moment, Julian gave a crisp reply.
43:01What?
43:01Then he crawled onto the bed on all fours, pinning me beneath him.
43:05His eyes were dead serious.
43:08I was left speechless by the man's shameless attitude.
43:13As long as you're willing to talk to me, baby, I can be a cat or a dog.
43:18I can do anything.
43:20Julian's tone turned ambiguous.
43:22I just noticed that the man had deliberately worn a slim-fitting, semi-transparent top,
43:27with a wide neckline that put his perfect figure on full display.
43:31His eyes were like hooks, staring at me without blinking.
43:34He was the spitting image of a male fox spirit, seducing me as a fowl.
43:39I thought to myself, but what came out of my mouth was...
43:43Take it off.
43:46Julian hesitated for a moment, then slowly took off his top.
43:51And...
43:52Now it was the old rogue's turn to be stunned.
43:56Since you can do anything, you might as well show off your advantages.
43:59I blew into Julian's ear with wicked intentions.
44:03Julian chuckled helplessly.
44:06Baby, does Alexander know his well-behavable sister has this side to her?
44:11Just as Julian placed his fingers on his belt...
44:14A bit sleepy.
44:15Going to bed.
44:16I stretched, lay down on Julian's bed, and closed my eyes.
44:20Julian stood there hunched over, frozen in place.
44:24After a long while, he stood up straight, closed the door for me, and went to take a cold shower.
44:30The next day, the boys gathered together to discuss who the goddess was that could turn Julian into a whining
44:37mess.
44:38There were simply too few women around Julian.
44:41It didn't take long for their investigation to surprisingly point right at me.
44:45Julian had been buying tulips.
44:47Julian had been smiling at his phone like an idiot.
44:50Julian had been in a weirdly good mood ever since that girl showed up at our base.
44:55Alexander and Jason blurted out in unison.
44:59Bullshit!
45:01My sister hasn't even held a guy's hand.
45:04Besides, they aren't even each other's type.
45:06Woken up by the noise, I gradually pushed the door open and walked out of Julian's bedroom.
45:11Alexander rubbed his eyes, nearly losing his footing.
45:15Hey, you, help me look. Is there a person standing there?
45:18Yeah, your sister.
45:20Alexander's hanging heart snapped and died completely.
45:24Chloe, why are you in Julian's bedroom?
45:26I hesitated for a moment, dodging the main issue.
45:32The bedding in the room I stayed in before was all cleared out. It's unlivable.
45:37Then you could have asked me to book a hotel for you.
45:39Before Alexander could finish, he was interrupted by Julian, who hurried over.
45:44What hotel?
45:45Well, weren't you guys just guessing who the girl I like is? No need to guess. I like Chloe.
45:50Just a few simple words, but Alexander's brain seemed to overload.
45:55You must be mistaken, Julian.
45:57Didn't you and your girlfriend meet in a game?
46:00But our Chloe only loves reading.
46:03She doesn't play games at all.
46:04After saying that, he feigned a relaxed look at the others.
46:07Julian is just a fan, joking around early in the morning.
46:11Julian didn't say a word. He just looked at me.
46:14The silence between us was louder than anything Alexander could have said.
46:20One of the boys patted Alexander on the shoulder.
46:24Alexander, face reality.
46:26At this point, I won't hide it anymore.
46:29Your sister's rank this season is even higher than yours.
46:32Alexander's lips trembled.
46:35Chloe, you...
46:36You played games behind the family's back?
46:38And even got into an online relationship?
46:41How could this be?
46:43You've always been the most obedient, sensible, since you were little...
46:47Julian stepped in front of me.
46:49Whether she obeying water, she is Chloe.
46:52She does what she likes, and she doesn't have to answer to anyone.
46:55Alexander slowly regained his composure.
46:58Julian, online dating is so illusionary.
47:01How can you be sure you'll still like her just as much off-lawn?
47:04Actually, this was also a question I had always doubted.
47:07Julian didn't hesitate at all, enunciating every word.
47:11I like Chloe.
47:13I like everything about her.
47:15Not recognizing her before was my own blindness.
47:17Being fierce to her was my fault,
47:19and I will use practical action to pay for my mistakes until she accepts me.
47:23Alexander opened his mouth but couldn't say anything,
47:26looking at me past Julian.
47:27The unspoken understanding between siblings made me realize he was saying,
47:32Chloe, are you sure?
47:34He's the one.
47:35I nodded gently.
47:36I didn't tell Julian that.
47:38In fact, he was also the first person I ever liked.
47:42And barring any accidents he would be the last.
47:45It's just that I really couldn't get over his previous evil deeds against me.
47:49So, I'm punishing him by making him pursue me all over again.
47:54Over the next few days, Julian, in his pursuit of me,
47:59ended up winning over everyone around me.
48:01My dorm head received the new LV bag she had always wanted.
48:05Jason lived in fear for days,
48:07after realizing that Julian didn't treat him any differently for trying to pursue me before,
48:12and that everything was business as usual.
48:15Jason transformed into our head shipper.
48:17My brother also ate breakfast made personally by the captain for the first time.
48:23How is it?
48:24Does it suit your taste?
48:26Do you need more peanut butter?
48:28My brother looked terrified.
48:30Julian, please don't do this.
48:32Do you want your milk hot or room temperature?
48:34Alexander was about dropped to his knees.
48:38I'm begging you, boss.
48:40Let's just go back to how we used to interact.
48:43I'd be much more comfortable that way.
48:45Julian pondered.
48:46I promise not to interfere with my pursuit of Chloe anymore,
48:50and put in a good word for me with my future in-laws,
48:53and I'll go back to normal.
48:54Boss, my dearest sister,
48:56and my best bro, a good girl and an old rogue,
48:59could you handle it if you were in my shoes?
49:01Is there anything else you need me to do, brother?
49:03Alexander got goosebumps all over.
49:06Julian, I lose.
49:07I won't interfere anymore, okay?
49:09Julian dropped his smile.
49:10Look at the time.
49:11Why are you still eating?
49:13Get lost and do extra training.
49:15Alexander wore an expression of that's more like it,
49:18and happily trotted off hand in hand with Jason.
49:22When Julian came to the bedroom to call me for breakfast,
49:25I had just finished showering.
49:27I was still wrapped in a strapless bath towel.
49:31Baby.
49:31The man's Adam's apple bobbed.
49:34Noticing nothing unusual,
49:36I handed him my pink hello kitty necklace.
49:38Help me put this on.
49:40Okay.
49:41Julian wrapped his arms around me from behind.
49:45Baby.
49:46You're why the slim in your chapeau smells so good.
49:49Baby, turn around.
49:50I think I put it on backwards.
49:52I turned around helplessly,
49:54not expecting Julian to be so close.
49:57If I leaned forward even a tiny bit,
49:59I would brush against those soft, pale pink lips.
50:03Our breaths mingled.
50:04I subconsciously stepped back,
50:06my waist hitting the edge of the desk.
50:08Julian trapped me between his arms,
50:11leaned in,
50:12and touched the tip of his nose to mine.
50:15Chloe.
50:16His thumb traced the curve of my lower lip.
50:18I like you.
50:19One millimeter closer,
50:20and there would be no going back.
50:24I know.
50:25My face was blushing so hard it could explode,
50:29but I feigned composure.
50:30My chin was gently lifted by slender fingers.
50:34The man's tender kisses fell upon me.
50:37First on my forehead,
50:38then my cheeks,
50:39the corners of my lips.
50:41Finally, he captured my lips.
50:43Baby, open your mouth.
50:45As if bewitched,
50:47I obediently complied,
50:48passively accepting the man's deep invasion,
50:51feeling the physical changes in each other.
50:54Catching my breath,
50:55my legs went weak.
50:57Julian lifted me up and placed me on the desk.
50:59Chloe.
51:00The man's smile was teasing.
51:03Honey, want to inspect the goods?
51:04The same line from my nightmare.
51:06Except this time,
51:08I didn't want to run away.
51:09To go from putting on a necklace to this,
51:12I knew I had been played by this old rogue again,
51:15but I still couldn't help sinking into it,
51:17fully awake.
51:18The heat in the room climbed higher and higher.
51:21This shower was taken for nothing.
51:23Many times, I wonder.
51:26Julian is clingy, possessive,
51:28bossy, shameless,
51:30and occasionally fierce.
51:31But an awkward person just needs a lover
51:34who can't be chased away.
51:36Mr. Blackwood,
51:37let's walk the rest of our lives together.
51:39And this time,
51:41no more running away.
51:42From either of us.
51:43From either of us.
