My Angelic System
Chapter 123 A Despicable Person

"Hey Ven, do you think this will suit me?" Lidi showed him a sky blue oversize hoodie.

"Yeah, it looks good."

"Okay I'll buy it then~" Lidi went to buy her clothes after a long time of choosing which clothes will suit her the best.

'Seriously I thought that I was about to die.' Ven thought with a long sigh. He didn't expect going shopping with a girl to be this tiring. He couldn't help but think that when he was hanging out with Kye, it was a lot funnier. Even when they were buying clothes, it was a lot more funnier.

Maybe it was because Kye was fast and didn't take thirty minutes to choose between two hoodies like Lidi, or maybe it was because they were having a lot of fun when they were hanging out, but it seriously felt better with him.

And unlike when he was with Kye, now Ven was completely drained of energy. Still, as he waited for Lidi to finish buying her clothes, Ven's eyes catch something near the cash register.

'I wonder if Kye would like it and wear this.' Ven thought as he took a single ear earring in his hand. He noticed that Kye liked wearing a ring for a long time, and a single ear earring since he came back. So he felt that this black earring will suit him perfectly. And since it was sold alone, Kye could wear it on his other ear.

"Excuse me can I buy this?" He asked the woman who was working here and nodded.

"Oh? Who are you buying this for? A girlfriend?" Lidi teased him a little bit when she saw Ven coming by her side to buy the earring.

"Shut it Lidi, you know that I'm not in a relationship." Even though his words were harsh, he had a gentle smile on his face.

"Oh~, I see, I see. It's for Kye isn't it?"

"H-how did you know?" Ven stuttered after he buy the present.

"Well, I just felt like it. We all love Kye like a little brother, but you boys are way more overprotective than me and Sylvia. To be honest, I wonder why it's the case, but I still like it that you want to cherish him as much as possible." She explained as they came out of the store. "And Kye is the only one of the boys in our friends that wear accessories. So who would you buy it for if not for him? A single earring at that.."

"Was it that obvious?" Ven looked to the side, ashamed of being so transparent.

"Pfft, don't worry, you're not alone in that. Enzo wanted to hang out with Kye a lot but didn't dare to say so. So I'm sure he was more than happy when Kye told him they would go spend the rest of the night together.

"Yugo as well is like this. You may not have noticed it, but he always handles things in the 'dark'. Every time someone tries to come close to Kye, he's the one who's stopping them. He's like his guardian. Not that he'll need it much though. But still, he's very protective.

"As for you, you're the one he hangs out the most with. You guys are always together whenever I saw you. It's quite strange actually. Are you guys doing things in secret~?" She teased him again. "You're hiding it pretty well huh? I didn't see any mark on Kye's body~."

"W-what are you talking about, Lidi?" Ven was happy when he heard that Kye was hanging out with him the most. But he didn't expect Lidi to assume such a thing. So he blushed and stuttered without even noticing it. "Are you out of your mind? Why would I do that to Kye? He's my best friend, not my boyfriend or whatever."

"Oh~? But I didn't say anything though. You're assuming things on your own~." She kept teasing him. His reactions were just amazing and she had a hard time holding back her laugh. "You're quite naughty, Ven. Thinking of Ven like this~."

"Shut it, Lidi!" His face was completely red. "And stop teasing me, it's not fun at all..." Ven's expression made a 180° when he saw the person in front of him. He was blushing earlier, and his expression became as cold as ice in an instant.

"Why is this bastard here?" Lidi asked Ven in a low voice. She had the same expression as his friend.

The person they were referring to was Azul. The street was still busy even though curfew was around the corner, but it was clear that Azul wanted something from them. It was so clear that he even stopped walking and looked at them from a few meters away.

"Ven and Lidi, huh? How nice to see you here."

The two friends didn't answer and only clutch their jaws in anger. They were disgusted by how friendly he was acting and tried to calm themselves as much as possible to not do something that they might regret later.

"What's with that expression? You're looking at me as if I've done something wrong."

"Oh because you didn't?" Lidi asked while trying to control her voice.

"Did I? I'm not sure, to be honest. I'm getting old, and my memories can sometimes play some tricks. Care to explain to me what I did?"

"You-...!"

"Lidi calms down," Ven said with just almost an inaudible voice. He was restraining himself a lot to not attack this son of a b*tch in front of him. "He's just messing with us, so let's not enter into his game."

"Come on, you're not funny. Students at your age would have already tried to attack me. Why are you two so cold-headed, huh?"

"Because your intentions are way too obvious," Lidi answered shortly before walking with Ven toward the academy.

Just before going though, Ven said one last thing to Azul.

"Just you wait. Your time will come as well..."
