Chapter 1 (2/2)
”f.u.c.k that's expensive!”
KJ shrugged half-heartedly. ”Depends. Do you want it or not? You think this job is easy? I'm doing this alone just so you know. And I even need to buy the items first. It's considered cheap.”
The skinny guy seemed confused.
”But it's worth it, beb. The girl would definitely cry her eyes out cleaning her room,” baited KJ.
”Ah, whatever. Sure.”
”That's what I'm talking about!”
”Is your operation done?” Gibbs asked when KJ returned back to the room at night.
”Piece of cake,” KJ replied, smiling. ”Troll? Ray? Where? Not here?” Troll and Ray were roommates next to Gibbs and KJ's room. Though, normally, the two would come here and make this room their base.
”Troll went training. Ray… he's supposed to be back now. He went to audition a new heroine.”
”Oh, nice! So we'll get to 'eat' something tomorrow?” asked KJ with a perverted smile.
Gibbs smiled. Not long after that, Ray entered the room.
”Ha, speak of the devil! What's tomorrow's meal?” asked KJ.
”d.a.m.n glutton!” Gibbs threw a pillow at KJ's face.
Ray smiled. A smile that's unlike a smile. The s.e.xy artist smile that became the craze of many girls.
”Probably Hanni,” replied Ray, brief.
”Oh, yes! Pan-Asian, I like! KJ said while dancing on the bed.
”Is he that friggin thirsty?” Ray asked Gibbs, looking at KJ's att.i.tude which was truly similar to a monkey. A Peter Stuyvesant Light cigarette was lighted.
”He's always high after an operation,” Gibbs replied. Ray just nodded.
”Don't just freeload. I haven't eaten kimchi in a while. What happened to your K-Pop girl?” Gibbs teased.
KJ made a face. ”Bad news. She's sick… down there.”
”Yeah right,” said Ray. He was always like that. Short sentences. Interject only when needed. All the powerful sentences were saved. Artists.
”You think I'm lying? Trying to eat alone? Do you think I'm gonna break the Musketeers Code, weyh?” KJ a.s.sured.
The Musketeer Code was created when Gibbs, Troll, Ray and KJ started becoming close two years ago. Musketeer Code - no ”all for one”, just one for all”. Meaning that n.o.body wa allowed to have a steady girlfriend. The reality wa that if you have a steady girlfriend, the group's dynamic would weaken. Then, they would want to prioritize their girlfriend, following what the girlfriend said - it's the end! If it's just for having fun, then that's welcomed. But, on person's girl was everyone's. All the girls in CGTSS had known of this rule and many were ready to follow it.
But of course, if there are people who like it, there are also those who hate it.
”Eh, I heard that Arip Bond is in the list to become the SL?” asked KJ.
Before anyone could give a response, Troll came in. His body smelled nice, meaning that hea had taken a shower first before coming here.
”Serious? Bond became the SL?” Troll interjected.
”Don't know, don't care,” replied Ray.
”Eleh… you sure you don't care, Ray? Isn't Bond close to you? Gibbs teased.
Ray chuckled and let out a puff of smoke. ”Not my taste.”
”He's quite handsome, right Ray?!” Gibbs kept on teasing.
”Even naked I wouldn't want him,” replied Ray.
Gibbs and KJ laughed hard, but Troll seemed uncomfortable. ”Can we talk about something else? It's gross, idiot,” Troll pleaded.
”Hey now, you're roommates with Ray for years now, are you still h.o.m.ophobic, Troll?” questioned Gibbs, deliberately changing his teasing target to Troll.
”Ray isn't h.o.m.o, he's actually bis.e.x,” answered Troll, confident.
”So you're okay if it's bis.e.x?” KJ was the one teasing now.
”Whether I'm h.o.m.o or bis.e.x, there's no way I'd want this Troll,” Ray chipped.
”What the h.e.l.l?” suddenly, Troll became dissatisfied.
”I'm your roommate, I've seen it,” Ray glared at Troll's forbidden area. There's no way I'll be willing, beb. It'd rip.”
The background laughter became harder. This time, Troll smile a little. ”d.a.m.n you!” he roared.
”That's a compliment, bro” Ray replied with a smile on his face.

Hey there, Nas Versix here. Okay, so that’s the first chapter of Gantung. There are 44 chapters+epilogue for this story and some chapters are short while others are long. I’ve read this a few years ago and I truly enjoyed it. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was at school at the time, I would have probably finished it iin one sitting. Anyway, hope you guys aenjoyed it and please give your opinion on the story.
p/s: If anyone’s asking why I haven’t updated Sasar, well, I lost the book. I might buy a new one or I might not. Depends on whether I can find anyone lese with the book (none as of now).
