"Hey, what are you thinking? Going after her like that," I said, hurrying to keep up with Shawn. He was already striding fast toward Yumi. She was back on the main street, walking ahead.
"What? Didn't you see what just happened? It's an opportunity, man," he said, eyes locked on her.
"Yumi!" he shouted, just loud enough for her to hear.
She jumped a little, startled by her name, and turned around. That same cold expression she always had at school was back on her face.
She looked at us, confused.
"Aren't you...?" Her eyes narrowed on me.
"Do you know me?" I asked, surprised. This was literally our first time talking.
'Does she actually know me?'
"No... I don't," she said quickly, like she realized she mixed me up with someone else.
"But..." She shifted her gaze to Shawn standing next to me. "I do know you."
"You were the one stalking me that day," she said flatly.
I was shocked. I turned to Shawn, who suddenly looked like a kid caught stealing cookies.
"You were stalking her?" I stared at him.
"No... I—I wasn't... I was just..." Shawn stuttered, scratching the back of his head, no excuse coming out.
"I knew it," Yumi said, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, you're not the only one who's ever stalked me."
It made sense. She was famous at school, the ice queen for a reason. Guys probably followed her all the time.
Even now, standing right in front of her, it was hard to keep my eyes from drifting to her chest or her completely exposed waist. Especially those long, smooth legs.
"So what do you want?" She crossed her arms under her breasts, pushing them up even more.
"You... why did you transfer schools?" Shawn asked, still scratching his head awkwardly.
"What's it to you?"
"I just wan—" just as Shawn was about to say something, Yumi cut in between.
"Look... I'm busy. I don't have time to talk to some creep." She said with her cold expression and about to turned back.
"Listen!" Shawn took a deep breath breath. "I saw you in the alley just now."
"Huh?" She turned back quickly and glanced at Shawn. She looked him up and down with her cold expression.
"So you were stalking me again...? And this time you even brought your friend along" She looked at him with a dirty look like she was looking at something disgusting.
"No... I mean techinically you're right... But that's not the point. The point is I saw you with that old man and what you did with him." Shawn have a smirk on his, konwing Yumi's secret. Thinking her had her now.
I understood where this conversation was going. Shawn was trying to blackmail her with that. I didn't expect Shawn to make a move like this. But what I curious about was Yumi's reaction.
'How will she react now?' I looked back at Yumi. Her expression was unchanged, same cold expression.
Even in this situation where she is going to be blackmailed. Ice queen for a reason.
"So what? Do I look like I care about it. Do whatever you want, tell whoever you want. I don't care." She she didn't even flinched from what Shawn said earlier rather she was confident.
She watched Shawn still crossed arms, tapping her fingers on her arm, waiting for him to say something.
I was also looking at Shawn thinking what he will say now.
"There's a price for it, if you want it," Yumi added after a short pause. Her lips curved up a tiny bit, almost a smirk if you looked close.
"!?" Both our eyes widened, almost unbelievable to hear what she said. We never expected her to cheapen herself just like that.
"He was a disgusting old man, and I'm already frustrated. So tell me quickly do you want to do it or not."
We looked at each other not knowing what to say then looked back at Yumi.
She was serious. She was literally selling herself, believe it or not.
I saw Shawn hoping for him to say something as he was the one who wanted to talk to her or you can say blackmail her.
"O—okay" he finally gulped out. He agreed. Got what he wanted, even if it wasn't the way he planned.
Yumi turned around and started walking, morning us to follow.
"Are you out of your mind? I'm not going." Doesn't matter if I wanted to go or not, I couldn't. I already had Rose, I didn't wanted to cheat on her so I denied.
"It's your choice if you want to. You have a girlfriend but I don't, so either you come or not I'm going either way." Shawn bolted towards her after saying. I didn't follow them.
I saw them walk off, Shawn turned his head once, his hand giving me a thumbs up like he was going to get a prize.
I also gave him a weak thumbs up like a best of luck, even though I felt something's wrong.
Especially from earlier when that old man spoke Mike's name. That was prove that Yumi was still in contact with Mike.
I turned around the other way and went on my way to home not to think too much about it.
