Chapter 5

"INHALE, exhale. You can do that, Jelle. Just approach Guji and presto! You are already in the first base," she said to herself. She was currently in the canteen in their university. She had a lunch break and because Guji was her classmate, he also had a lunch break now.

She was holding at that time her tray of food that she had bought here at the university canteen. Her plan was to accompany Guji's meal. His girlfriend is not at the same time eating with him so it is not too difficult for her to accompany him. Add that the tables are almost full and only the table is still quite vacant. He eats alone.

She took a deep breath and was sure of the steps he was approaching Guji. But before she could get completely close to the man, one hand took her tray and suddenly grabbed her waist. She gasped aloud when she felt a jolt of electricity that flowed to her body because of that single touch.

He was about to break free from the stranger's grip when he felt a warm breath touch his ear. Right there and then, he already knew who the daredevil had almost hugged him.

Reus. Why didn't he immediately think it was Reus? Eh, this is the only one he knows that brings him this sensation, that he can not imagine and fathom why.

"Don't struggle, Jelle. Don't waste my patience on you now," she said softly in front of her ear.

He stopped trying to escape as it clung to his waist. Not because she felt threatened when she heard his serious voice but because of the sensation she felt when she felt his breathe on the sensitive part of her ear. Something warm was flowing inside her body just because of his nearness, of his touch.

It placed him at his desk. He noticed the food on the table so he thought it might have been here earlier. He probably saw her approaching Guji so he stopped her. But he did not know why it had to be angry with him and almost dragged him to its table.

"There, there you eat," Reus told him. After fixing his chair he laid the tray in front of him. "Eat."

It seemed like an obedient child that he followed it. He was very surprised by its transformation. Only now did he see that this one was so serious. Her proper consumption of food was stopped. It was as if he suddenly woke up. Frowning he looked at Reus.

"Why did you drag me here ?!" he salted the man. It seems that he is only now getting caught up in what it did. I think he was "very attracted" to it so he didn't keep quiet earlier and he was dumbfounded.

"You're only making a fool out of yourself, Rejelle-Rose," he said instead.

"Huh?"

"Look at Guji right now."

He obeyed its command. He saw that Guji was no longer alone now. He was with his girlfriend, eating lunch together, exchanging sweet words with each other. She closes her eyes and avoids looking at the man and his companion. He turned his attention to Reus. He frowned when he noticed that Reus was staring straight at him. Many emotions were swirling on Reus' eyes that she couldn't put a name.

One of them she guessed was worry? Concern? Or was it sadness? He did not know, and he had no intention of finding out.

He was blown away by the wind and turned his attention to food. He put aside the hand that seemed to be squeezing his heart because of what he witnessed between Guji and his girlfriend. Yes, there seemed to be a knife in his heart to the witness, but he could not get angry with the woman who seemed to steal the love of Guji that he thought he should have. Because he knew in himself that in the first place, Guji was not his.

"Why can't you let go of Guji, Jelle?" he heard Reus ask.

He did not bother to look at it. He did not want to see in her eyes the pity for her. Who wouldn't feel sorry for him? She seems to be a woman lacking in attention. Pathetic. He knew Reus looked at him like that.

"I admire your strength, Jelle. I hope I have the same courage. But I don't want to see you hurt just because of Guji. Wake up, Jelle. You have no chance anymore."

It was painful to hear, it was straight to the point, it was cutting her heart into pieces to hear the truth. But along with the pain is the one that is gradually relieving her. Maybe it was because of his deep concern over Reus' voice. At the same time he could not help but wonder what it was doing now.

Why does it not want to see him hurt? And why is it always there when he needs it? And he did not know but what he said engraved in his brain, that he would have the same courage as he did. For whom?

"Jelle, if you really love Guji, you'll be willing to let him go to be with the woman he loves. It's okay to fight for your feelings. There's nothing wrong with that. But you should also know when to stop fighting, "Reus later told him.

Again he was not silent because of what it said. He has a point. She would never admit it to him but Jelle got him. To himself, that's also what he says, isn't it? That he was doing it wrong, that it was not right.

"Jelle, Guji is not the only man in the world. There are more men out there who are white and more approachable than Guji. Why can't you see that?" Reus leaned closer to him and he felt his palm rest on his head. It messed up her hair as if she were a toddler. "I'll help you, Jelle. Just like me, I'm available," he said with a smile.

It would be okay if there were more pissed off!

He punched her lightly on the shoulder but he couldn't stop the smile from appearing on his lips. He did not know what Reus had and it made him smile easily despite what he was going through now.

"Thank you," she said smiling at Reus, her smile was sincere, as she thanked the man.

Because of the words Reus uttered, he seemed to be focused. She decided to stop this foolishness already. She guessed it was time for her to move on and give up on Guji. She knew even before today that this was the right thing to do. He just needs to be focused on other people to be more conscious.

What was with Reus that was making her completely forget about Guji and Jill and her plans? And what was with him that was making her heart beat on an unusual way?

Does Reus enchant her?
