[BL] Lick Me Up If You Can (Book 1)

Chapter 5

"thank you."

Ashley added after briefly congratulating him.

"There is a high probability that I will inherit my father's work, so I will go to college that way."

He muttered to himself in a calm voice, as if he were talking about the weather, but Koi couldn't ignore it.

"Father's work? Do you even have a business?"

Just by looking at the car he was driving, I assumed that his family was quite wealthy, so my curiosity grew. Ashley narrowed her eyes and answered, probably finding Koi's sparkling reaction amusing.

"It's about protecting the wealth of the rich from the poor."

Is it a quiz?

I had no idea, so I said what immediately came to mind.

"Are you the devil?"

"oh."

I thought she was going to laugh, but to my surprise, Ashley looked surprised.

"It's similar. "I'm a lawyer."

"ah... ... ."

Only then did I realize that Ashley wasn't really wrong. If he's that rich, he must be a pretty famous lawyer, right? Ashley added, as if reading Koi's thoughts.

"It's a pretty famous law firm in the East. "When I say lawyer Miller, I immediately think he's my father."

Even though he said such great things, he didn't seem to be proud or conceited at all. He spoke casually in a tone that was no different from before and drank carbonated water with pride.

"So you're going to the East after you graduate? Are you going to go to college there too?"

"maybe."

Looking at the flow, it seemed like I was going to go to the university my father graduated from. Koi hesitated, wondering if it was okay to ask this, then cautiously opened his mouth.

"Then why are you here? "Is everyone here?"

Is your father the only one in the East? He might come here on vacation.

Ashley readily answered Koi, who made various guesses.

"I'm the only one here. "My parents are in the East."

"Are you alone? why?"

Koi, who had asked without thinking, reflexively closed his mouth when Ashley returned. She went too far out of line because Ashley gave a straight answer to everything. She asked too much about her personal life even though we weren't even close friends. Seeing her look with regret, Ashley immediately spoke in the same tone as before.

"I wanted to live alone."

"Wow, me too. Envy you."

Isn't this the life that every teenager in the world dreams of? A nice car, a comfortable life, and a house of my own. There really is nothing this guy doesn't have. Ashley chuckled as she involuntarily exclaimed. Koi paused again in a bitter, self-deprecating laughter.

"Well, I'm still lonely alone. Don't you hate cleaning so much? Even laundry."

I hastily blurted out my words, but this time the answer I received was different from what I expected.

"Well, that's not what I'm doing... ... The company comes here every weekend. "It means that you can live like a human being."

... ... What did I just hear?

Koi was completely dumbfounded. He felt like his brain was overloaded from hearing stories so otherworldly. I wanted to ask if the house was that big, but I barely held back. Just from what I've inquired about so far, it's overflowing. I said I crossed the line too far. Ashley Miller and I aren't even that close.

Koi internally scolded himself, but was momentarily taken aback by the awkward silence that followed. Ashley was finishing the rest of her meal without a care in the world, but Koi couldn't stand this silence.

I need to find something to say, come on, quickly.

"Uh, over there. Come to think of it, no one on your team has appeared yet, right?"

Ashley quickly nodded, remembering that one of her classmates had recently appeared as an Omega.

"Well, most of them don't manifest."

In terms of numbers, the probability of becoming an alpha or omega is very small. Koi also believed that he would live and die as a beta for the rest of his life.

If this guy appears, he will definitely become an alpha.

Ashley Miller, who became Alpha, seemed to fit in quite well. Spraying pheromones everywhere you go is no different now.

"Isn't it difficult to exercise when you have symptoms?"

"Most people quit. "It's completely impossible to become a professional."

In the case of alphas and omegas, they were subject to several restrictions due to their estrus period, and one of them was that they could not become sports players. The reason was that if he was in heat during the season, he would not be able to play properly and it would have an impact on the team. Although individual games can be controlled by skipping the season, team games are a different story. Even though there were cases where players took suppressants and played the season, this caused the player's condition to be very poor, and the prevailing opinion was that it put a serious strain on the body, so in the end, professional teams did not allow players to join the team unless they were betas or gammas who were not in heat. No club owner would take a risk in a game where hundreds of millions of dollars are exchanged.

"Have you ever done a prediction test?"

When Koi asked, Ashley shook her head.

"No, what about you?"

"I didn't."

Koi answered honestly.

"It's going to be a beta anyway."

"so do i."

For some reason, I felt like Ashley had half-heartedly let the conversation go. Maybe she doesn't like this topic very much.

As I was looking around to find the next topic, the clock on the wall caught my eye. It was already almost 9 o'clock. The restaurant will be closing soon. Koi came to his senses later and realized that he was too excited to be in front of the school's famous person.

We met for an assignment, so come to your senses!

After scolding himself harshly, Koi hurriedly got to the point.

"Uh, hey, so how about we organize it like this? Let's each do our own research and exchange data via email. I think we can organize it in separate parts and divide it into chapters and a table of contents the next time we meet. what do you think about it?"

"good."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. The plates that had filled the table were now completely empty.

"So, is the conversation over now? "Can I go back?"
