122 Stupid is as stupid does.

Aaron is eating breakfast.

He was having grilled meat with eggs and vegetable burritos.

While he is eating, Aaron was reading a text from Yong-Hyeon.

Yong-Hyeon and Aaron have been talking a lot since last week.

The little devil is helping Aaron, feeding him information about Li Hwa's likes and dislikes.

Yong-Hyeon reluctantly admits that Aaron is a good guy and is one of the best candidate's he had so far.

Oh, yeah! About the candidates.

The little devil has been keeping an eye out for a potential partner for his mother.

When Aaron heard it for the first time from Yong-Hyeon, he had doubts and wondered. If this little guy was also someone like him, a reincarnated person or something.

How old is this little guy?

Sometimes Aaron finds himself questioning this.

That kid, about 7 years old has a mentality of a teen.

Then again, Yong-Hyeon acts like his age sometimes.

Aaron had to admit though, technology is a double-edged sword for kids.

Yong-Hyeon almost all the time, spends his free time surfing the internet learning weird stuff.

When he doesn't understand anything? He asks google sensei, the greatest teacher in this modern world.

About the candidates, Aaron was leading currently according to Yong-Hyeon.

But those candidates aren't much of a threat to Aaron, as most of them are friends of Li Hwa.

Aaron did a background check on those candidates just in case.

After learning that everything fine, Aaron heaved a sigh of relief but he was reminded of Nyx's situation.

Aaron should not make the same mistake as Nyx or else he will also be miserable as Nyx.

Currently, Li Hwa is single but for how long?

Who knows, when someone pops up and takes her away from Aaron.

The thought terrifies the s*it out of Aaron, also knowing that something like that already happened to Nyx.

Fuels these negative thoughts more.

Still, Aaron found himself in a similar situation as Nyx once did.

How is he going to confess!!!

That's not easy to do as he has zero experience in this kind of situation.

Taking a bite of a piece of meat, Aaron was thinking about what to do.

He read the text, Yong-Hyeon sent.

'You're a wuss! Go and do something before I try to pair my mom with someone else.'

Reading the text once more, Aaron knows that Yong-Hyeon is just threatening him to act faster.

Aaron has been spending too much of his time with the Choi's.

His relationship with Li Hwa can now be considered good friends.

Even though they have met a couple of weeks ago, both Aaron and Li Hwa are comfortable around each other. They also have similar hobbies and interests.

And with Yong-Hyeon supporting him secretly, telling his mother how good of a playmate and person Aaron is.

It's all good.

At first, Li Hwa did treat Aaron as a kind younger brother.

But over time, she started to treat Aaron as an equal and a friend.

Which is great! A plus for Aaron.

While Aaron was in his thoughts about how to confess?

Suddenly, a hand grabbed the piece of the meat Aaron just cut and was about to eat.

Noticing the hand, Aaron was about to stab the hand with the fork but the hand was swift and Aaron missed.

*tak*

"F*ck Aaron, you were about to cripple me! Are you crazy!!!" Sabastian shouted in fear.

His hand was almost got stabbed by the fork.

Looking at the table, Sabastian saw the fork standing still and the head was half rooted on the table.

Taking another fork from the side Aaron started eating once more.

"Go make your own breakfast, don't you dare f*cking touch mine!" Said, Aaron without turning his head to Sabastian.

Sabastian cursed under his breath, before eating the piece of meat that he stole from Aaron.

Going to the kitchen, Sabastian saw there was already a share for him in the kitchen.

"When it comes to food he is not that harsh, yeah!" Taking his food from the kitchen, Sabastian joined Aaron.

5 minutes later, Sabastian can see Aaron was in deep thought.

He was eating his food very very veeeery slowly!

Sabastian almost finished his breakfast but Aaron still hasn't finished half of his.

"Yo, bro! What are you thinking so deeply that you still haven't finished your breakfast?" Sabastian asked.

Aaron was in deep thought so, he unconsciously replied to Sabastian without even aware of himself.

"I'm thinking about how to confess to a girl."

Sabastian was playing with his fork but when he heard Aaron, he stiffened in shock!

The fork fell from his hand to the floor making a loud sound.

*clank*

Snapping out of his thought, Aaron realised what he just said.

"That's too fast, It's only been a couple of weeks!!!"

"So?"

"Bro! I see that you fell way too hard for that girl. So tell me what's your progress, maybe I can help? The others gonna freak out when they learn of this, damn bro!!!" Sabastian said imagining the reaction of the others in their misfit gang.

Aaron raised his eyebrows hearing Sabastian.

"You? You're gonna help? I'm sorry my friend, but I decline your help. You are forever single, there's not a single case in your past and current life combined you succeed on wooing a girl. I pass!"

"Whoa! That hurts bro. Still, I can at least give some of my thoughts, no? Look at yourself, so lost thinking about what to do."

"I still pass, I don't need any help from a fool."

*Puchi*

An arrow struck Sabastian's ego.

But Sabastian can't deny Aaron, whatever he says will backfire on him.

Still, Aaron taking jabs on him? No, never!

Sabastian quickly retorted showing an annoyed expression.

"Then if you still have your balls intact, just man up and confess you *beeeb beep* f*cking *beep*"

Hearing Sabastian, Aaron abruptly stood up.

Sabastian thought Aaron will go crazy on him but instead, Aaron started walking towards the entrance door.

Feeling puzzled Sabastian followed Aaron.

~~~

Aaron stood in front of a door.

The door to Choi Li Hwa's apartment.

Aaron ringed the doorbell and waited.

Soon the door opened and Aaron saw the face of the person that he has been thinking of all this morning.

"Oh, hey! Aaron. Good morning!" Choi Li Hwa greeted Aaron.

Giving a dazzling brilliant smile, Aaron greeted Choi Li Hwa.

"Hey, Li Hwa! Good morning."

"So is there anything you need? Yong-Hyeon is taking a shower, he will soon join for breakfast. Have you eaten breakfast yet? Why don't you join us."

"No, I'm fine. Just had breakfast. Actually, I came here for you."

"Me?"

"Yeah."

"Choi Li Hwa! I like you, no, I have fallen in love with you! Every day, every hour, every minute, I think about you. I can't get you out of my head! The more I try to ignore and disperse these thoughts, the more I think about you! Hell! I didn't even get to finish my breakfast today, cause you have been occupying my mind since I woke up. I know that I'm five years younger than you but what's that have to do with us? Age is just a number, all the memes and jokes aside it's really a number. The legal age in this country is sixteen! What would the others think of? I don't care what others say, what I care about are your thoughts. Lady, you have been driving me crazy! I know we have just met and it's not even a month that we met. You also don't know much about me well, but we can get to know each other. Please, give me a chance! S*it! I feel like I'm forcing this on you, but woman! You are driving me insane. I know there's lots of uncertainty but without taking this step we won't be able to know what the future holds for us. Just give me a chance, we will get to know each other then we will see if we are compatible or not, we will see if we can work it out or not. We will date and if you still feel uncomfortable or feels that this won't work out? Then we can both go our separate ways. I will no longer pursue you nor will I ever show myself in front of you, if it doesn't work out."

Aaron just laid his feelings bare and let it flow.

He doesn't know what to do or how to make a proper confession.

If there is a guideline of how to do it properly then there wouldn't be much of a high failure rate in the world, to begin with.

There was one time, Darkness gave out some advice to one of his friends.

What Darkness said isn't wrong, if you don't know what to do just tell your feelings out loud and go with the flow.

Live with the consequences and move on, whether it be good or bad.

A goddess like her never understood complicated human emotions of love but she does give out good advice.

The advice might be bad or stupid.

But that fool Sabastian always said.

If it's stupid and it works? then that ain't stupid.

If that advice can work, then Aaron will go along with it.

Aaron took a gamble for that one hope and on with it laid out his thoughts and feelings.

Stopping from his barrage of words, Aaron was panting hard.

He was out of breath and feels there's an invisible pressure on his shoulder.

He looked at Choi Li Hwa's eyes.

Choi Li Hwa's eyes showed surprise and shock!

There was a few moments of silence before Choi Li Hwa spoke.

"Okay!"

Right after she said, okay!

Choi Li Hwa abruptly closed the door to the apartment.

*bam*

Aaron was confused.

What does that 'okay' means?

Confused Aaron stood there, in front of the door for a few minutes before going back to Sabastian's apartment.

Arriving at the apartment, Sabastian in front of Aaron spoke up.

"Bro! You got the manliest balls of steel in this universe."

Irritated by Sabastian, Aaron ignored him.

Then suddenly his phone vibrated and he saw Yong-Hyeon sent a text to him.

'You are really stupid!'
