My Future Wife Is Androphobic

Chapter 20 - Isn't it obvious?

Yumi Kang's expression turned dark as she watched Kira leave. She clenched her fists so tight that her nails almost dug a wound on her palm. She couldn't believe that she failed. She did everything to make her grandfather agree and invite old man Lee to his party, despite the fact that the two old men's relationship had long cooled down because of a certain incident years ago. She did this so she could have this most awaited opportunity. Well, for a long time now, Yumi had been gathering information about Kira and she even found out that Kira wasn't really into anyone whom he dated before.

She also discovered that the best way to have his attention was to ignore him, to not chase him, and to be different from all the girls who were blatantly showing their infatuation and interest in him. This was the reason why, all these years, Yumi acted uninterested towards him. However, despite it all, Kira never made a move on her, so she started creating a way for them to be together and make it appear coincidental. Yet, what was this? He didn't just embarrass her, he had exposed the truth that she was actually just acting uninterested with him. Not just that, he even said he had a date with his girlfriend?!

Yumi was so angry that her graceful expression was nowhere to be seen. It almost as if she had become a completely different person.

…

Noon break.

Kira, along with Rei and Ken, was inside his private room to eat lunch. Luxurious food were served on a table but no one among the three touched the food.

Rei was busy browsing something on his tablet while Ken's eyes were bulging as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. His gaze was locked onto Kira who seemed to be in a daze. Kira was holding his fork and spoon as his eyes focused on his empty plate. He was not moving at all, almost as if he became a monk meditating with eyes open.

Ken was so curious. When he finally reached his limit, he sidled towards Rei and whispered to him.

"Rei, what happened to him? Did someone dump the great him?!" he asked but Rei ignored him. The young man didn't even glance at him, causing Ken's nose to puff angry air. Don't ignore me, damn it!!

Not giving up, Ken continued bugging the quiet Rei. "C'mon Rei, tell me… what happened? Did someone really dump him? Huh? Huh?"

Rei slowly put down his tablet and finally looked at Ken. "I don't know what happened so don't ask me," he said with a serious tone and Ken could only sink back on his chair. Ugh!! This serious little iceberg! How can he always be so cold?!!

His gaze then fell on Kira again when a light bulb appeared above his head. Wait… could it be that this was because of that turbo girl?!

Looking amazed at the idea he just thought about, Ken once again sidled towards Rei and spoke. "Rei, Rei, could it be that he's acting like this because of that girl? That girl from yesterday?!" he exclaimed and the young man who already started eating looked at him as chewed his food.

Rei simply stared at him until he swallowed the food in his mouth before he spoke. "Isn't it obvious?" he said and returned his attention to his food again.

As soon as Ken heard Rei's reply, he gasped. "Whoah! Really? That girl's name is Zeri, rig-"

Ken quickly covered his mouth because he forgot to control his voice. He expected a cold gaze to come from the great him for ruining his meditation but unexpectedly, something different happened.

The moment Ken mentioned the name "Zeri", the fork in Kira's hand suddenly fell, jolting himself. His expression was just so priceless that Ken pressed his lips as tight as he could not to laugh.

Kira who finally snapped out of his 'meditation' looked at Ken and Rei and he cleared his throat before he casually picked up the fallen fork.

"Why did you mention her name?" Kira asked and Ken suddenly thought of something.

"She's here." Ken answered as he looked at the door and this time, the spoon in Kira's hand was the one that fell.

"Pfft!! Hahaha. I was just kidding! How could you be so fl.u.s.tered? You didn't even turn yet and-" Ken quickly clamp his mouth when Kira's expression turned dark as he glared at him.

"Haha, I need to go to the bathroom first." Ken could only excuse himself and ran away from the disaster he accidentally caused.
