Jelle is silent while eating dinner with her daddy Ronaldo Mendez. She no longer misses her mother because she died after giving birth to her. He said there was a complication in her mother's heart and it was not treated immediately due to her death.

Her father raised her alone. Despite being busy running their company, he did not lack love and attention. Her father always saw to it that he has given her enough love, care, and time. That is why even though he grew up without a mother, he can say that he is happy and satisfied with their life. He knows that mama is happy in heaven now.

Her daddy was her standard for the men she wanted. Her dad, based on her Lola's story, was a brooding man before he met her mother. Her daddy was the reason she had a yardstick in choosing the man she would like. She wanted someone like her father.

Because her daddy raised her alone and because she is an only child, she became super close to her daddy. She has no secrets here, from her first crush to her first heartbreak. He had already told his daddy about Guji. Her daddy knew how much she liked that guy so much. But it has not been updated. It did not yet know that he was brokenhearted.

"Dad, do you remember the guy I'm telling you about before?" he awakens to the silence between them.

From the food her daddy looked up and turned to her. "His name is Guji, right? What about him?"

"He already has a girlfriend, Dad."

"And?"

"I decided to give up."

"Because?"

Reus' words suddenly entered his mind. At the same time, she flashed in her mind the pictures Arianne showed her. Pictures of Guji and Jill together. In the picture he can say that Guji is happy. How come its aura is not that dark. Add to that what he saw when he was in the canteen. There he fully realizes that Guji is happy with Jill. And Reus was right again. She has no right, no matter how much she liked Guji, to take that happiness away to both of them, to Guji and Jill.

"Because he's happy with his girl," he answered his daddy's question after a long silence.

"I can say that you did the right thing, Jelle. Maybe he's not the real one for you. Don't lose hope. There's still that someone looking for you."

"I'll still get my chance on happiness?"

Her Daddy smiled. "Yes. Do you know how many times I was hurt before I found your mom? But I did find her and I was so happy up to now. I also want you to find that kind of happiness, Rejelle. So open your eyes to all the possibilities, okay? "

He nodded. Because of her father's words, she was suddenly encouraged. Yes, it still hurts the fact that they have no hope for Guji because he already has Jill but he will not lose hope in love. Because her daddy said so, there is someone who is already destined for her. She just needed to find him.

At that thought, he did not know why Reus' smiling face suddenly popped up in his brain.

"Nah. Far away.”

Jelle was smiling as she approached Reus who was sitting quietly on the bench at the side of the open court. They haven’t talked since the last conversation they had yesterday. She was embarrassed to approach him earlier in the classroom because he was with Guji as always. Even though she has given up her feelings for Guji, it doesn’t mean it would go away just like that. It wasn’t as simple as that.

Of course, she needed time to forget.

She did not know why but she smiled as she watched Reus play with the white cat he was holding. She didn't know why but she found him so adorable and so cute just because he was an animal lover.

"Reus," she said to catch his attention.

From the cat he held he turned his gaze to her. He grinned when he saw her and she instantly regretted being here. It was as if she was taken by his grin. He suddenly looked so cool and charming while grinning like that.

She shook his head slightly to dispel that thought. She would not praise him just because he helped her. Even though Reus is really praiseworthy, she still won't praise him!

What? Err.

"What can I do for you, Jelle? Are you a lover? Later, Ryoma-sama and I are still busy, eh," Reus smiled at him and pointed at the Himalayan cat he was holding. That was probably Ryoma.

She rolled her eyes at him and for the first time, she was not bent over or annoyed with its simple hirit. In fact, she could tolerate it. He was already smiling at its teasing. Improving!

"Your thickness, Jarreus! Why would I date you? Heller ?!" he said in horror as he held back a smile.

Since the incident yesterday, he has been relieved of Reus. Because he saw and learned that behind this foolish and mischievous person was a kind, thoughtful, and deep Reus hiding. You just have to look deep, deep, deep inside.

"Sows! You're too defensive, Jelle. Anyway, why did you visit me in my kingdom?"

"I want to talk to you."

"BEFORE you think about it, my mother here at McDonalds is because it is the fast food chain near Saint Vincent. Second, because I want to thank you," Jelle introduced to Reus who was in front of her.

Now they are both in a fast food chain. He chose this place because he loves McFloat here. He is not a chosen person.

He sipped at Mcfloat and grabbed some French fries that were on the table. She dipped the fries on the ice cream on top of her float. When was the last time he visited McDonalds? It's been a long time so he missed McFloat and French fries so much here.

He heard no response from Reus so he turned it around. Reus was looking at her with amusement on his face. He could not help but frown and become a little conscious.

"What's your problem?" she growled at the man.

It just grinned and shook slightly. "You're as cute as watching while eating. It's like the first time you eat French fries. And are you really immersed in ice cream? You're different, Jelle. Weird but cute."

"Syatap, Reus! What do you think of me? Eager? Well, just a little. I missed it. Epal ka. Besides, the French fries dipped in ice cream are cool. It's so delicious! Try it!"

The man laughed in front of him. And he? According to him, he just stared at this man. She was deeply mesmerized by his laugh. Its laughter is very lively. Even some people inside McDonalds looked at Reus because he was probably laughing. She even noticed how the girls inside the fastfood chain swooned at him. Eww.

"You're so cute, Jelle. It's nice to kiss you," he said with a smile.

He stared at it to hide the redness on his face. He did not know why he reacted that way to this one. "Shut—" He couldn't finish what else to say because of what Reus suddenly did.

It stretched closer to him. His face was so close to hers. It was as if he had just moved and their faces would meet again. His lips parted slightly as he stared at Reus' face. She noticed how handsome he was especially with this distance.

He frowned when he felt his finger on the side of his lip. He licked his finger before smiling wickedly at her. "Hmm. Their ice cream is delicious here, Jellybean."

Jelle stared at Reus. He could not believe what it did. The mere fact that he brushed his finger on the corner of her lips was something else. But the next thing he did with his finger rubbed on the side of his lip made him gasp. It was somehow an ... indirect kiss.

He could feel his heart pounding. It almost came out of his rib cage and bounced on the table in front of him. What is happening to him? When did his heart become like a ball ?!

"Earth to Rejelle. Hello?"

Napakurap si ya and bent down to hide the redness on his cheek. My God! What is this man doing to her?

"Are you okay, Rejelle?"

He nodded. "I'm fine. Anyway, I want to thank you, Reus. Because of you, I realized how pathetic my plan was. Because of you, I realized how bad I am just by thinking of doing that kind of. scheme. Thank you. "

He heard no response from Reus. From eating the fries he turned it over. She almost gasped aloud when she noticed the gentle and true smile on his face. She would always be mesmerized by his smile.

What are you, Jelle? You're talking as if you're attracted to Reus, said a part of his brain.

He immediately dismissed you and gave no more importance. There was no way that she was going to like Reus. He wasn't her type. Not at all!

"You're welcome. I'm really good at giving advice so you realize. Am I great or great?" Reus smiled at him.

Even without his smile, it still could not be erased from his mind. Just what the heck was happening to her right now? Is this really how women are when brokenhearted? What do you notice?

"You know, Reus, you've only been really nice once, haven't you?"

"Hey, Jelle! I can be nice every day!" he said and in a low voice he did not follow he said, "You just don't notice me."

"What?" he asked because he did not hear the last sentence it said.

"I said, I'm kind every day, just not you."

"Is that so?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. He threw a fries in his hand. She couldn't help but laugh when she noticed the expression on his face. Priceless!

Soon the expression on Reus' face softened as he looked at her. Gradually his laughter subsided until he fell silent.

"Are you going to be okay?" then is its question.

"Of course. I just need time. Just like what my father had said to me, I just need to find the right one for me."

"Maybe you found him, you just don't pay attention," he said softly.

"What?"

"No. I said, just eat and eat."

He just shrugged and ate the fries again. But his smile still lingered in his mind. During the duration of his conversation with Reus today, he never felt bitterness or pain when Guji and Jill were mentioned.

Maybe it was a good sign. Maybe, just a little more time and she could finally move on.
