Owned By The Devil
[OBTD] CHAPTER 9: Extra Mean [2]

On the other hand, Jauzan stared at the phone in his hand with a cold look. He stared at the expanse of his phone screen displaying his self-messaging history with Jasmine. He sighed heavily then clucked softly.

Why hasn't the girl returned the message since yesterday?

Jonathan and the Emperor, who had been focusing on each other's food, were staring at Jauzan with astonished eyes. This man in front of them rarely spoke, but somehow they could see a hint of anger from his eyes.

The Emperor and Jonathan threw each other a questioning glance.

Jonathan put back a spoonful of fried rice that almost went into his mouth and began to gently nudge Jauzan's arm. "Woi, why are you? Bengong mulu from earlier."

Jauzan put his phone on the table a little hard. The man still did not open his mouth. He chose to drink the cold cola that had been bought until the toilet.

Looking at Jauzan's spirit, it seemed as if Jonathan was beginning to understand something. The guy smiled amusedly. "Oh, you must be missing, yes, same Jeje. Ngaku! Aye right? Surely yes, there's no way!" jonathan ended with laughter.

Jauzan clucked lazily. "Bacot lo!"

"This is the boss, how about you pick him up after school?" emperor Proposal.

Jauzan looked at the Emperor with a flat look. "No. I don't want to make a fuss with Duaja's son. That could put Mine in danger."

Jonathan agreed with Jauzan. It has become a public secret if Gellius High School and Duaja Wijaya High School have been rivals for a long time. "Well, what if we later gather in Jeje's house? Let the other kids tell me."

The emperor was enthusiastic. "Can, tuh. After all, we haven't been together in a long time."

Jauzan nodded in agreement. "okay."

...•☆•...

"Lo what the fuck, anyway! Not released?" Jasmine grumbled at his slightly flushed wrist as Ethrion was still unwilling to take off his check.

Ethrion drags Jasmine to the UKS. The gloomy roar imprinted on his face slowly began to disappear. Like a child who lost a favorite toy, now there is only a funny frown that is depicted on the handsome face of Ethrion.

Jasmine was still astonished when she saw the change in Ethrion's expression.

"Lo's so flirty being a girl." Ethrion throttled lips with a playful look like a pure innocent child without sin. It does not fit the image of the bastard playboy that Jasmine has been pinning on him.

"What do you mean?" Jasmine tried to be patient.

"Lo has spread the same charm of the bastard lizard less caress here," said Ethrion with a flat look.

Fucking lizard .... what? Jasmine cursed in heart. Why do you always get weird words out of this guy's mouth?

"Gue doesn't have charm!"

"Lo capers. I don't like it."

"Gue never ca—"

"Lo makes me jealous."

"Gue doesn't mean to make lo ce—"

Eh?

Wait up!

Jasmine was speechless trying to digest the last-goal of what the man had just said.

Of jealousy?

Jealous?

Ha... Ha...

Bullshits!

Jasmine blinked in disbelief, as if she had just heard the world's most bragging sentence. The girl could not hide the dislike look on her face. He felt a little tired from having to face an XY-chromosome human with such annoying nature as Ethrion.

Ethrion only smiled amusedly when he saw the annoyed look clearly on Jasmine's face.

So adorable.

Ethrion is increasingly clueless with his body every time he gets close to the girl in front of him. This thrilling sensation that felt delightful actually made him almost crazy.

Yep. Jasmine manages to influence Ethrion so deeply, even when the girl does nothing to attract his attention. Of course it was different from most girls he had ever dated.

"Rion, can you, um, stop bothering me?" Jasmine stared right at Ethrion's black bead. "Gue's really sick of your behavior."

Ethrion scrunched his eyebrows while scratching his non-itchy temple.

Maybe inwardly, emang my behavior is smilebelin it, huh?

Answer the yorobun.

Ethrion stared fixedly at Jasmine's face. "Gue also don't know why I can't stop bothering you, Jel."

"So far away from me!"

Ethrion smiled amusedly. "Social distancing?"

"Can't."

Jasmine frowning. "It must be!"

"You've something, darling!" Ethrion rested his black hair backwards anxiously, hoping that this girl in front of him would understand. "Something that keeps me from getting away from you."

"But you've a girlfriend, Rion!"

Oops!

Jasmine froze in place.

Looks like the girl's let go. Ha. Ha.

Ethrion's? That guy was also glued to his place!

"M–mean I—"

Ethrion suddenly laughed softly. "My boyfriend? Which girlfriend am I?"

Jasmine glares. Nah, right? Was that guy too many girlfriends that he himself was confused, which girl did Jasmine mean?

Jasmine recalled about the matter yesterday. Yesterday when discussing Oberon and Proteus in GOR, they mentioned one name that seemed to be an important figure, seeing the worried look mixed with anger that Oberon members showed him at that time.

"Will? Remember you have Isa!"

Ethrion. "Oh. Isabella?"

Isabella's?

So her name is Isabella? Jasmine snorted in annoyance.

Such a pretty name!

Jasmine could immediately imagine a girl with a soft heart, long hair, had a high height and a face that could make all men stunned with just one look.

Somehow Jasmine's irritation grew a little.

"Oh, yeah. Problem lo same Proteus, you wrong target," Jasmine said in a flat tone.

"You mean?" Ethrion asked, asking for further explanation.

Uh. Jasmine hates this. He doesn't like to explain things that aren't his business.

"The point is, it wasn't Jauzan who sent the box."

Ethrion. "Lo's no longer beating him, is he?"

"It's up to you not to believe." Jasmine turned around to leave wanting to leave the UKS. The bell has been ringing since, and he has to ditch the subject of this rancid guy's gar-gar!

Ethrion blocks Jasmine's arm gently, not wanting to let the girl go before she explains what she meant.

Of course the girl had to explain to him in detail. The girl must have known something, because it was about the girl's friend. Remember, Jasmine was once in the same school as Proteus.

"Not so fast, Flower."

"What else?"

"Clearly to me, what did you mean?"

Jasmine sighed before staring right at Ethrion's bead, signaling if she wasn't messing with his words. "Jauzan is not the leader of Proteus!"

Ethrion looked back at Jasmine. "Lo no longer belain him, right, Lava?"

The lava?

Another new call?

Okay. Jasmine seemed to have grown tired of having Ethrion stop calling her various names. So, let it go. Ethrion's Likes. Lovely people are free!

"Gue is serious, Rion," said Jasmine. "Jauzan couldn't have done that!"

"Why is it not possible?"

"Actually I still don't understand, where do you get evidence that Jauzan did it?" Jasmine reviewed a slanted smile. "Among you, your friends and I, obviously I know Jauzan best. You can't just recriminate without valid proof!"

"Gue has proof and you can see!" Ethrion's jaw is hardened. His face turned dark. Something inside her was boiling when Jasmine mentioned Jauzan's name repeatedly. He didn't like the way Jasmine defended the man.

"And don't ever mention her name in front of me again because ..."

Ethrion moved forward, closing in on Jasmine whose body was fixated, not moving a single inch. Highlight the man's eyes turned back in shade as his hand gently touched Jasmine's cheeks which slowly changed color with a hint of pink tinge.

"... cause I hate it, Flower."

Ethrion smirked faintly.

"Sir?"
