Until one day, Jane, involved in the same art project as Josh. Jane's nonchalant attitude that looked at Josh with disdain made Josh feel harassed. That caught Josh's attention. Josh's friends bet that Josh can play with Jane. What motivates Josh is the result of Josh's friend's investigation of Jane.
“You see that junior?” Caldeo talked about Jane, who was focusing on submitting the invitation letter for the project exhibition.
“I don't think she's your type, so down,” Josh smirked at Caldeo.
“Ah, she still looks pristine, after all if she polished a little she would look very beautiful,” said Caldeo again, still watching Jane from a distance.
“I wonder how someone like that got into this elite college,” Josh questioned Caldeo seeing as Jane didn't look like anyone from their circle.
“Ah, she got a scholarship, like a lucky draw. You remember last year's case where the commissioner had to silence the media through the admission of ordinary students with scholarships,” Caldeo tried to make Josh remember that.
“Ah, the discrimination case,” answered Josh, who was busy reading the documents on his tablet.
“But, Josh, you know, Andre ended up getting rejected outright by her. After we investigated, she was dating one of Carel's men who set fire to our community art gallery,” Caldeo kept rambling on to Josh, who was focusing on his tablet.
“Oh, really?” said Josh in short response.
“The dumbest thing is that she doesn't seem to know she's dating trash like Kevin,” Caldeo continued.
“Kevin?” asked Josh, who was then interested in what Caldeo was talking about, “Which Kevin do you mean? Kevin Carl? The one who ruined my car?” continued Josh again.
“Yeah, the person you were jailed for cutting your car's cables that almost killed you,” Caldeo confirmed the person he meant.
“So that woman is his girlfriend? Not the crazy woman who asked me to walk out?” Josh remembers the incident last year when Kevin Carl's girlfriend, Julia from a different college, confess to him and ask him to be her boyfriend and Kevin thought Josh had stolen his girlfriend.
The results of Caldeo's investigation made Jane look even more stupid in Josh's eyes.
“Ah that, that's precisely why I said junior is stupid. She doesn't know what kind of trash she is dating with. She even supports the living expenses of that trash,” laughed Caldeo softly, who was seriously watching Jane from the opposite table.
“That's interesting,” Josh also looked at Jane, at the same time Jane also saw her two seniors who gave her a sharp look that made her look away.
“But, I noticed Josh, it seems her, she really hates you. Have you ever been in case with her? I want to ask her for dating, if you ever get into trouble with her, it will make me look bad,” Caldeo smirked.
“Seriously?” Josh responded curtly, “But I think because of the junior who was always with her… I forgot her name, I just rejected her friend. Maybe that's why she looked at me like that,” Josh continued, frowning.
“Alina? The junior queen? You rejected her? When?” Caldeo turned his attention to Josh with eyes full of curiosity.
“I guess 3 weeks or 1 month ago,” Josh said shortly.
“Why don't you tell me?” continued Caldeo again and again.
“I don't think we are that close to share each other,” replied Josh with a sharply eyes.
“Then, who? Who is your type? You… You really are out of your mind,” continued Caldeo, grinning at his friend's habit, who always reject all the prettiest women on campus.
“Ah, but Alina isn't attractive anymore, she's like a slave to her boyfriend. But the junior in front is very attractive, she can always refuse Andre. So, I really want to try too,” said Caldeo, pointing his pen at Jane's table.
“You better do this right away, you keep talking nonsense,” Josh pointed out the stack of documents for the art exhibition.
“Okay, boss,” Caldeo said quietly.
Caldeo checking one by one the summary of the works in the document.
“But Josh I think, even a man who always rejects women like you, if you try to ask a junior like that to date,” Caldeo pointed again at Jane who such as conventional girl type.
“You… 100% will definitely be rejected, I'm sure your charm doesn't apply to her,” Caldeo said that nonsense seriously.
Josh frowned, “We've known each other for a long time, and you know it's easy for me, for a woman like that. Too easy,” Josh said confidently.
“You are sure?” Caldeo tried to stifle Josh's confidence, “Just try the test, I'm sure you'll end up being rejected outright,” Caldeo laughed lightly, still sifting through the exhibits on the table.
“Why should I try? She's not my type, so far from ideal,” Josh said his thoughts to Caldeo.
“Ah, you dare not?” joked Caldeo again, “Look, if you succeed in getting her. I will make an offer, I will give up my gallery in Paris,” Caldeo challenged Josh.
“Ah, that's not enough, I heard it's almost bankrupt,” Josh ignored Caldeo's bullshit again.
“He-he, you know that? Then how about the gallery that is owned by Sharon's family? Even though it's not the gallery, but 29.7% of the shares are in my hands. We can exchange some with other special things for me, young master, so you don't have to play too long on this campus,” Caldeo offered, which was enough to make Josh widen.
“Even Sharon's family didn't let me touch even 1% of the gallery's stock, you're offering yours?” Josh stopped looking at his table, “You won't regret it?” asked Josh again seriously.
“Ah, I offered it because I knew you would be rejected,” Caldeo replied confidently, “If you can, we can talk about it,” he continued to make an offer.
“Okay, I accept your offer, don't regret it later. ” Josh was so confident about Caldeo's challenge, “Then make a letter of agreement and send it to me,” said Josh.
In the beginning, Josh really only intended to play with Jane, until finally Josh really fell in love with the girl's innocence and sincerity. The stubborn stupid girl helped Josh who she thought wanted to jump suicide at Nikhil Bridge 2 years ago due to an internal problem that Josh might have. And in the end, Josh just pretended to have internal family issues because Jane couldn't believe that Josh just wanted to sit and take something which fell down to that bridge.
“Yeah right, I was dumped by everyone, girlfriend, friends and family,” Josh said at the time, 'Stupid woman, who do you think am I?' Josh thought in his mind.
“Then I'll be your girlfriend, friend, and family for you to get off of it,” said Jane as she pulled Josh down from the bridge.
“Ah, you are strong enough. Are you sure you won't regret your words?” said Josh confidently.
Even though the true incident at that time was that Josh just wanted to go down to take a valuable photo that had fallen, but instead Jane insisted that Josh wanted to kill himself because of family problems. “So you will be my girlfriend?” asked Josh, still looking under the bridge. The wind was blowing hard and made the photo stuck on the side of the bridge carried by the wind to the riverbed. “Did I say so? Something like that?” Jane asked, pulling Josh's hand to the other side of the bridge. “At least you have to be responsible with your words or don't butt into someone's matters,” said Josh sharply. It made Jane froze can't believe what she just heard from someone's, she just in hurries to jump to help. “Wh-what?” said Jane uncomfortably. “Such a shame. You don't even know what you did,” Josh though on his important photo. “Never mind,” he let go of
Josh followed Jane's instructions and went into the kitchen with her groceries bags and happily arranged the items of the bags into Jane's cupboard and fridge. Josh was very familiar with Jane's house because Josh always stopped by to check on Jane's condition, who often got sick when she was tired. Himself, had long been the person Jane used when Jane was sick. And Jane was always the one Josh used to chase away the crazy women who were after him. The need for each other causes them to become very close and closes their old story of having previously had bad feelings for each other. “This woman lives alone but always does this much shopping,” said Josh to Jane, who likes to cook her own food. “What is this?” Josh stared at the small pink box inside one of the bags. “There is a card too on the packet?” Josh looked deep on that card. 'Ah, just left it here. I don't think this is something I deserve to see,' Josh thought when he saw the l
“I've arranged it, already all,” said Josh, which made Jane sit back down. “So, did you see…? Don't tell me you see… inside the…” Jane's face blushing and not continued her words once again. “Yeah, kind of so… Just a little to see it, accidentally,” Josh smiled naughtily, “You hide it well in deep very bottoms of the bags, your pink secret packet,” Josh teased Jane with a naughty eyes. 'I don't even know what are you talking about,' Josh in his mind, laughing to see how easy to fool Jane. “Such a bad liar, you are only teasing me,” Jane sharply her eyes to Josh, “You know what stuffs I talked about?” Jane continued making sure Josh don't touch her stuffs. “Umm well, I am just kidding,” Josh laughed at Jane, “Well, I just arranged your kitchen stuffs, so I don't take a look what's inside that, don't worry,” he explained still with his naughty smile. “Did you think I am that kind of man? Sucks,” Josh pointed at her
“I'm hungry, let's go eat now,” Josh's expression which had been seriously turned into a witty one and laughed lightly as expressionless of Jane. “I just want to say that,” Josh continued, “What do you wish me to say?” he teased the serious face girl in front of him. “Huh! Darn you! Baddest guy!” Jane patted softly Josh's shoulder once and going to pat more. “Huh, you want to pat me with this weak hand, surely?” said Josh held Jane's hand more tightly and joked on her. Jane, smiling at Josh, “No, nope. It's just shocking me. I got goosebumps and thought that you would say something useful. But, it is only… Is it at all?” Jane cursed as she took back her right hand from Josh's grip, chuckled, and then rubbed her left arm in a goosebumps gesture. On the other hand, Josh, who was still holding Jane's left hand tightly. Actually, just flashed a big smile to make sure Jane didn't suspect his intentions. Inside Josh's deepes
“I already told you, don't tempt me so much,” Josh near his face to Jane. Their eyes locked so intensely. “Wh-wha-what?!!” Jane stuttered in her words because Josh suddenly brought his face closer to Jane. “You said you don't want me, and rejected me many years,” said Josh very softly and sweetly. He looked at Jane more deeply. “Ah? Emm, well. Emm t-tr-true,” said Jane, still stuttered and now blushing. Josh's right arm stay on the back rest beside her left shoulder and his left hand locked on the sofa's arm side. It made Jane can't move anywhere. Josh become closer to her face and put his lips to Jane's ear and whispered, “But, your eyes tell me you really want me. So, don't tempt me so much, or you will regret on your action,” said Josh and get back seat well. “Ah, well. Why are you so red? I told you I like someone else,” said Josh, laughing and still
Josh realized that Jane couldn't keep up with his walking speed. 'It's good to bother you,' thought Josh, and once again teased Jane by running out more fast first. 'It was true that she left behind,' Josh laughed while he looks back at Jane. Jane was staring at Josh's distant sharply. “Such a mess, you… kidding me?” mumbled Jane pointed to Josh who still laughing at her. Jane, who was lazy to follow Josh's behavior, then stopped walking and just stared at the man leaving the apartment building with a bitter smile. “Annoying man!” Jane cursed softly at Josh from far. Josh, who turned back around to see Jane still behind the building. He walked closer to the exit gate and waited for her there. Josh laughed with satisfaction at Jane's sullen expression. From far, Josh clasped his hands together and raised them in front of Jane as a s
They arrived in front of the Art Foodie Zone, Josh parked his car through a valet. And they went into the restaurant. Well, as the name implies, Art Foodie Zone. The uniqueness of the restaurant lies not only in terms of the delicious food. But the way they make promotions to attract customers. It is quite unique through an exhibition of personal paintings from the restaurant owner as well as sometimes paintings by some famous artists which are displayed in several rooms in VIP hall of this restaurant. Jane and Josh went into the main area of the restaurant to order their favorite food udon, tempura, teriyaki, sushi and ocha tea for Jane, lemon tea for Josh as usual. “You sit and wait for me, here,” said Jane to Josh. “Huh? You left me alone here now? Don't just wait for me and go there together?” replied Josh, who think to go to see the painting exhibition together. “Haha, let me alone looking for my inspiration. I will
Josh, who was puzzled by the way the man called him by his surname and knew his father, tried to take a closer look at the face of the man in front of him. Josh tried to remember, but still couldn't think of whom the man in front of him was. “Why does this man know my surname?” Josh asked in his heart that was starting to get a little restless. “Oh. Oh. Wh-who are you?” Josh asked the man. “Did you forget me, Yoh? Vallen's sister, I accidentally broke the pottery that you auctioned at a charity event. While in German, do you remember?” said the man again familiarly to Josh, who was just silently digesting the man's words. Jo puts Jane's smartphone on the table and responds to the man. “Vallenie Sharon's brother, huh? Iyuka, right? Troubled little brother. When did you come back to this country?” said Josh, who started to remember that face. Iyuka extended his hands to greet each other
