Chapter 020

My mother has never asked me to save money, nor have I ever complained so far about the financial problems that I manage myself, those are all gifts from my mother that I always set aside. But, ever since my mother and I argued that time, I had determined to myself to be frugal with the remaining savings I had until I found a job.

Working part time isn't bad, right?

Now I'm stuck here, arguing a little with one of the mechanics who stuck to my car's tires. I'm annoyed, the price has increased from the usual price, how can I save money if this small thing has made my calculations beyond my expectations.

Remind me that nowadays everything is expensive.

A little pride because I have a dream to become a successful person so that I can have everything I dream of. Many of them prefer to get married after their education is complete, according to them all women end up in the kitchen. That's stupid thinking, women can have a career too.

"I don't want to pay for it if the price stays that way."

"Okay, then you can't bring your car either."

Damn, I'm such an idiot! Alright Angel, just be patient and give in, after this you can definitely rise higher on your own feet.

"I'll pay for it."

No, it wasn't my voice, a man suddenly appeared in front of me while holding out a sheet of paper which the mechanic accepted, which surprised me even more, it was Alaska.

"Senior?"

I wasn't wrong, it was evident when he turned to look at me with his usual cold gaze. In his casual clothes today, he looked even more handsome than usual.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a rich boyfriend like him? I had to argue with you because you didn't want to pay me."

That damn mechanic, I'm so embarrassed, Alaska must have heard it all, right? Where should I put my face now? If only I had been a little smarter to trace my gaze to all corners of the workshop, maybe I could have found his presence first.

"She's not my girlfriend," he denies, I could have guessed it. After all, he doesn't like me, not really, it's just that he doesn't like me yet, I'm trying here.

"True, but soon we'll be lovers, uncle." I confidently said that. What do I care? My shame is gone when it comes to my feelings for him.

Only Alaska man can make me like that, yeah, only him.

He rolled his eyes in disgust after I said that, I don't care if he likes it or not, the most important thing is that now that I have openly confessed that I like him, there's no way I can just stop.

Without saying anything else, he left in front of me, of course I followed him. I've been like an unwanted parasite everywhere. Don't ask me to give up or anything, I will give up on my own if my heart is really tired.

"Senior Alaska," he stopped and quickly turned to face me, "um, thank you." I said sincerely, he just nodded and went back to walking.

"What are you doing here?" Whatever I will ask to extend the duration of my togetherness with him.

"According to you?" Haha, I laughed and cursed at my stupidity. Why am I such a fool to find a topic?

"Where are you going after this?" I think this question is better. Look, he looks thoughtful.

"Reporting you for not stopping bothering me?" His eyebrows shot up, I know it was a joke, it's just that I feel bad again. Am I that annoying to him?

"Maybe you'll be considered crazy by the officers there, and they told me to take better care of you so you don't report anything wrong again." Two possibilities regarding my reply, first he was annoyed because I actually took part in following his chatter. Second, he doesn't care at all.

"Up to you." Uncaring and annoyed, I got both right.

"Why did you pay it for me?" He let out a small sigh at my question.

"You're troubling the people here, they should spend more time just treating you stubbornness. You know? The world doesn't just revolve around you, you shouldn't be selfish."

I froze to hear it, what he said was true. But, why do I still feel sick to hear it? He says I am selfish?

"Gee, I'm so happy to have teachings from a man I like. Thank you, that means you care about me. Okay, next time I won't bother people anymore." My smile widens, trying my best not to show a trace of my sadness at his words.

"Actually I want to follow you today, I want to spend time with you, no matter you ignore me, I'm still happy to be near you. But, I have to return Leo's alma mater, then I'll say goodbye."

I returned my best smile to him, there should be no sadness here, because I don't think this is a sad story at all. Just telling the story of a woman who chases a cold man like Alaska, I don't need anyone's pity.

"Angel," my movement stopped, did I hear wrong? I think Alaska just called me.

"You just called me?"

"Come here Leo's alma mater, I'll take him." Ignoring my question, Alaska actually stretched out his hand to grab the paper bag that had been hanging on the side of my fingers.

"No need, just let me." I held him but he just chuckled.

"Don't be stubborn, give it to me, you don't know what kind of man he is." He managed to pull it from my hand, because I was silent after listening to the last sentence he said.

"You mean?" I received no response other than his jaw clenching as he passed from before me. He drove the car in such a hurry that I believe he hit the gas at high speed. What's with him?

"What just happened between you two? He left angry." The man who had spoken to Alaska came up to me and threw a question that also adorned the rubble in my head.

"I don't know, I don't understand uncle either." I answered honestly.

"He's not usually like that. Did you betray him?"

Geez, what's with that question? I don't even have any relationship with him. But, I'm worried about one guy right now, for some reason but I'm worried about Leo.
