Chapter 3
As he reached the office, Payu walked to his desk and gave a rapid look at his schedule. All he wanted was to work in peace on the changes requested by his client and then switch to the other projects, hopefully without annoying people coming in and out to make his headache worse.
"Payu, are you sure you're fine today? You look quite pale, are you sick?" his boss asked right after he looked up from his laptop. Payu sighed and nodded, then he explained that he got a little feverish at night and that he was just a little tired.
"Well... I won't insist since you seem so sure about it, anyway... this is the list of the students from the faculty of architecture that will come from the project. Each couple will have a tutor that will inspect the plans they propose. Nothing too difficult, don't worry, just make sure they don't make the main entrance in the bathroom and everything will be alright" his boss added.
Payu nodded and smiled as he took the list. On the inside though, he wanted to scream, he surely wasn't in the mood for tutoring a bunch of freshmen.
After a few hours, the group of students reached the entrance of the building and waited for the boss to welcome them and introduce the project. A lot of them, especially Ple, were excited and couldn't wait to participate, not just because of the nice opportunities offered to the freshmen, but because of one of the architects.
"Imagine if we get to work with P' Payu! Oh my god, that would be awesome, we may even get his phone number! Just to ask for some tips for the project of course..." Ple exclaimed. Rain looked away and sighed. Sky asked him why he looked so irritated but he had to wait for a while before getting an actual response.
"I'm sick of it, ok? It is always Payu this, Payu that... Payu is so talented, Payu is so handsome, who the hell is this Payu anyway?! He's surely just another one of those arrogant guys who thinks that everyone will line up for them just to get a smile back" Rain replied.
The boss arrived soon after that, he warmly welcomed the students and led them to the office. Then he started reading the list. Rain and Sky ended up with the boss while Ple was almost about to faint as she heard that she was going to work with Payu. Rain obviously sighed again as he heard that Ple's tutor was her crush.
Payu eventually showed up, Rain immediately looked at him and patted Sky's shoulder to catch his attention. "That is the guy who helped me yesterday! Hello!" Rain waved his hand at Payu but the architect didn't even look in his direction, he just walked to Ple's desk and sat down with her.
"Wait... don't tell me that..." Rain started.
"The guy who helped you is P' Payu? Wow... well, at least now you have a chance to confess your love to your prince" Sky added with a mocking tone. Rain was so disappointed that Payu didn't look at him and that he was actually Ple's crush, that he didn't even realize at first that Sky was making fun of him.
"You must have a huge crush on that guy..." Sky continued.
"What? I don't... hey I'm not gay!" Rain yelled.
"Congratulations for your coming out as straight, now could you let us work?" Payu said softly, without looking at Rain and without recognizing his voice.
Rain stayed silent after he noticed that everyone was chuckling at that joke. They worked for almost an hour.
"P' Payu, where can I print this file?" Ple asked. Payu asked her to follow him to another room where they had a few printers for particular projects like theirs. The girl followed him inside the closed room, Rain looked at the door until he saw the girl walking out of the room. She looked different, her excitement and happiness was gone.
Rain stood up and rushed to the door, Payu was about to leave the room but Rain pushed him back inside to confront him.
"What the hell did you do, huh? Do you think that just cuz you're a senior you can do whatever you want, you pervert!?" Rain shouted.
Payu looked at him confused and said: "Wait, but you're..."
Ple was shocked, she was glad to see that someone was ready to defend her no matter what, but she knew that she had to stop Rain since nothing wrong happened when she was alone with Payu. She ran to Rain and tried to explain the situation, but it was already too late. Rain slapped her tutor and insulted him.
"Are you finished?" Payu said with an authoritarian voice and an angry expression.
"Yeah..." Rain replied, wondering what the guy was going to say to get out of such an uncomfortable situation. However Payu didn't say anything to Rain, he turned to the young girl and said:
"I think you should talk with your friend about what happened... maybe next time he will learn to think first before accusing someone." The tutor said and walked back to his desk.
Ple grabbed Rain's hand and took him to another room, so that no one could hear them.
"Rain, I know that you wanted to protect me but I assure you that it was a terrible mistake. I asked Payu if he wanted to go out with me and he politely declined my invitation, that's why I looked a little disappointed. You should go back inside and apologize, P'Payu is a really nice person and he doesn't deserve to be treated like that" Ple explained.
"This is going to be embarrassing..." Rain remarked.
"Yes... listen... I know that P' Payu is extremely professional but I wanted to ask to switch tutor to make the work less awkward, would you agree with that?"
Rain looked at her and asked: "Are you sure that he will accept to work with me after what I've done to him?"
