Chapter 2: Bet

Alexei asked him different questions repeatedly but Florence still didn't answer him. 

"Oiiii" "Don't ignore me" 

"Heyyy" 

"Are you sure, you don't want to talk about this?"

 "Ah sorry I was texting Justin" 

"Seriously though, why won't you tell me who it is?"

 "It's just personal, that's really it"

 "I don't want to share who it is, especially not before I've told him my feelings"

 "Hmmm, who is it?" 

"....Did you not hear anything I just said?"  

"Wtf Flo, we've been best friends for a long time there's nothing you can't tell me" 

"So who is this miraculously important person?" 

"Won't tell" 

"Florence Cameron." 

"Alexei Ezekiel." 

"Ugghh, seriously?" 

"No! What's so hard to understand about that?" 

"There's NOTHING I can do to make you tell me?" 

"Why do you even CARE? You never cared this much before"

 "Well that's cuz you would always tell me everything before" 

"Well I can't anymore" 

"If I guess it right, will you tell me?" 

"Fine....I guess..." 

"Swear you won't lie?"

 "Okayy..." 

"It should be pretty easy then" "You don't have that many people you actually care about" 

"Wow Xei, how mean 😑"

 "Well, I'm just telling the truth" 

"Mark my words, I will guess who it is"

 "I don't think you will...but good luck" 

"That was weirdly serious...you okay?" 

"Yes of course" 

"Remember this, I'm not going to judge you for who you like this time if that's what you're worried about"

 "I don't care as long as he's a good person, unlike your trashes exes in the past" 

"Don't worry, he's definitely a good person"

"He just obviously doesn't like me"

"Tch. Don't be so hard on yourself"

"Yeah..."

"Seriously, who wouldn't like you"

"Aww Xei you're so sweet today"

"Who knew you were secretly romantic"

"Ughh, every time I try to help, I just regret it in the end"

"I have to go now, bye Flo"

"I will find out who you like by the end of this week"

"Bye bye Xei and I really doubt you will~"

"Bet"

"Ohh?"

"If I guess it..."

"You have to stop calling me Xei and call me by my full name Alexei from now on, like what the others did"

"What!"

"That's not fair!"

"No. Never"

"Fine, I expected this"

"Admit it Xei, you like the nickname I gave to you"

"No, I don't so shut up"

"Fine new proposal. If I guess it right you have to confess your feelings to whoever the person you love right now"

"Okay..."

"Wait really?"

"Mhmmm"

"Well that was easy"

"My turn"

" If you don't guess it by the end of the week, you have to do whatever I want for a day"

"You mean be your personal servant?!"

"Wtf, no!"

"Aww why not?"

"My punishment for you was selfless, but what's with your selfish request"

"Selfless?"

"You're making me confess"

"Yeah, it's for your own good"

"What do I gain out of that?"

"Take it or leave it"

"I'm not changing my mind"

"I stand to lose most out of this whole thing anyway"

"Tch...fine"

"Yes!!!"

"This will be fun Xei, best of luck figuring it out😘"

"Ugghh"

"Why do I even care again?"

"Because I'm your best friend and you love me so much hehe"

"In your dreams 🙄"
