Chapter 15：Maybe Im the idiot here? (1/2)

I check out the person who successfully took the pest's appendage off my back.

It looks like Charles Boet had to twist his other arm so he'd finally let go.

”Ofortable she is.”

With a twinkle in his eye, he proceeds to explain to his longtime friend. ”That's kind of the point. It's so rare to find someone who openly despises any advances I make, that it's funny to keep annoying her... Oh, no.”

Oh. Now I understand. It seems like Ren's a bit of a sadist?!

He looks at me worriedly and affectionately holds my hands in his.

As if on cue, Ren's eyes automatically get all glassy, pleading as if his life depended on it. ”You're not going to stop what we have now, yeah?! Don't take it away from me, please! I like you too much!”

Looks like my body has developed its intense hatred for this guy as it automatically moves to smack his hands away.

It was not until a few seconds later that I realize that I...

”Woohoo! I've still got it. Thanks, girl.” Ren giggles happily and winks at me like he's won.

Go me, resting my face into my palm. I'm doing exactly what this jerk wants.

Or maybe I'm the idiot here? Urgh.

Like a predator locked onto his prey, Ren gives me a suffocating hug. He wraps his arms around the area just above my elbows, so it'd make it very hard for me to free myself.

After some useless struggle, I am about to give up when suddenly, I get some freedom, which was followed by a string of, ”Oes back with my order and places it in front of me. After asking if I have any allergies, he sets an assortment of nuts, fruits, and rice crackers in front of me when I responded with 'no'.

Honey roasted nuts, yum. Oooh... wasabi peas, they'll go well with the other snacks I brought with me too.
