The Tenth Year. (1)

Story 1 - Violet and Eric.

________________

[Past-2020]

I recall once when the Captain brought a group of small newbies around my desk and asked me: 

"Violet, how can you keep up with the Cold King for four years even though he never speaks to you?"

Knowing what he meant, she cleared her throat and grinned widely at this new group of volleyball players enrolling in the university:

"Because I fancy Eric's handsome face hehe."

The captain's mouth made an O shape as if he had already guessed it before, and the newbies stared at her speechlessly.

Eric, that is, the Cold King furthermore the best volleyball player in the university happened to come out of the locker room at that time. Under the sunny glow, he glanced at Violet hearing her response.

Violet who was surrounded by the Newbie group didn't notice Eric's existence.

The encircling captain and newbies who had noticed, strangely become silent and cooperatingly didn't warn Violet.

[Present-2026]

At this moment, Eric Willson, who had been the star volleyball player for the past six years was standing in front of the Excellent Altheles central headquarters with a suing document in his hands, in the heavy snow.

If it were her, she would have run inside with that document and smashed some skulls and yelled at the top of her lungs:

"FUCK YOU! See how I uncover you all to media!!"

"I played for the EAs for six years! Now you all prosecute me for match-fixing!?"

That would have been in line with how an ordinary person should have behaved.

But that would be impossible in Eric's case.

Even if he was deceived by the association, his face didn't change when he left the corporation. It is nevertheless still the same Cold King!

Violet took out her mirror, seeing that she looked okay, she took a deep breath and stepped towards her University Crush Eric. The guy she had a crush on for ten years.

Before she could surprise him from the back, he turned around.

Oh shit, he's still so cold and handsome looking!

"Look at you Senior, all lonely in the cold, come watch TV and chill at my place!"

Glancing at Eric who for the first time frowned, Violet reflected on what she had said wrong.

She realized that her words could be recognized in another way..." Netflix and chill".

She quickly clarified herself, "Senior! I meant..uh..I wanted you to eat ramen with me at my house!"

She had once again used another pick-up line that she had skimmed about ten minutes ago.

Being the ballgirl for Eric's volleyball team for four years in college, she for the first time again saw Eric eye roll.

Seriously, even though she stalked Eric for four years by being his team's ballgirl, she still had never seen him smile.

She had heard that his first girlfriend was ignored by him for six months straight, not even her texts got acknowledgments.

The second girlfriend of his who wanted to get too "close" to him was directly pushed off his bed and broke a hand and leg.

Then came a woman who wanted to seduce him at a bar, Eric righteously spilled the glass of wine on her head, "I don't like older women."

If it were her, she would smooch him once and vanish into thin air..but she couldn't.

She was a chicken who liked a boy..now a man for ten years.
