Chapter 4The Comment Section is My Wingman

I was serious about finding a boyfriend.

The next day, I went to find Kai right after class.

I was too early; the courts were empty.

I wandered around for a bit. When I came back, people were arguing.

"Coach, the ball machine was broken when I got here. It looks intentional!"

"Who left last yesterday?"

"Kai. He came back after dinner and stayed until closing."

"Check the cameras?"

"Cameras are broken. Haven't been fixed yet."

Kai walked up in the middle of this.

Everyone stared at him.

The coach frowned. "Kai, did you break the machine?"

Kai looked at him. "No."

His indifference annoyed the coach. "Just admit it if you did it. It's not a huge deal."

The students whispered.

"Definitely him."

"He won't admit it because he doesn't want to pay."

"What a jerk."

The comments were suspicious of him too.

[He's not the MC for a reason. Dude has moral issues.]

[Look at his eyes. Scary.]

Kai's expression darkened.

He looked at someone in the crowd, paused, then pulled out his phone.

He played a video for the coach.

It showed an empty court. In the corner, a figure was violently kicking the ball machine.

The scene flashed by, then the camera flipped to a girl's face.

"Hey Kai! You're not here yet? I've been waiting forever..."

My voice. My face.

Everyone turned to look at me standing in the back.

Even my thick skin burned a little. "Haha... sorry. Just a random vlog."

But my video cleared Kai's name.

The coach walked over. "Student, did you see who broke the equipment?"

I pointed at a guy in the crowd. "Him."

I hadn't remembered until Kai played the video. "It was him."

The guy exploded. "Not me!"

"It was you. You were kicking it and yelling about how unfair it was that Kai got picked for the Beijing tournament. You said he bribed the coach."

The coach glared at the guy. "You said what?"

"I didn't!"

"Oh?" I bluffed, reaching for my phone. "I have more videos. Let me check."

The guy panicked. He turned and ran.

Guilty.

The coach waved his hand. "Alright, break it up. Practice time!"

"Coach," I said, smiling. "Did you forget something?"

"What?"

I pointed at Kai, who was quietly organizing his rackets. "You didn't apologize to him."

"You accused him in front of everyone. Don't you owe him an apology?"

Kai stopped moving. He looked up.

The coach spat, "Where did this brat come from? Get lost! Don't interrupt practice!"

"Everyone out! Out!"

He stormed off.

I wiped the spit off my face.

Kai smirked. Just a tiny bit.

I saw it.

"You laughing at me?"

His face went blank. "No."

"Whatever. I helped you today. You owe me a drink."

Kai looked at me, then nodded. "Okay."

[Wait, do I ship them?]

[This is weird. Why are they making eyes at each other?]

[I haven't even seen the MC and FMC meet yet, and these two are going on dates?]
