Chapter 7 (1/2)

As an author, I have two sensei to thankful for: one is Google, the other is Jhing Blanco

¹Ulysses and Marco- These two men are characters from the novels that shares

the universe of 23:11 written by the same author, Pilosopotasya

Ulysses caonist's brother

while Marco is the male lead in (Tempted) and was also mentioned

onbeing quoted by Miko:

”I remember the words of my pal Marco who's a professor

He said'If you stretched your arm, that's 'free will';

but if you hit someone in the process, that's your limit”

I' those novels too but yeah… we'll see

SilenceBackfired

“When the lips could not speak, perseverance will deliver the e”

-x-

“What's up with you now?” Facio asked Miko “Are you sick? Is it SARS?” His questions hed

They weren't surprised when Miko did not use his voice to talk, he instead erased the words on the whiteboard he brought and wrote:

I'M NOT SICK

”Then what?” asked another “Did you went to the karaoke last night and sang to your heart's content that it made you lose your voice?”

I STILL HAVE MY VOICE

“Aha!” Yayo, the pregnant editor as severely fond of Miko, exclaiet the mouth mask from Miko but he stopped her “Do you love KPOP? Koreans often use those mask ah!!”

Jhing’s heart pounded in her chest when she saw the sone because of his chinito eyes What's evenis the fact that his mask is really cute

He couldn’t really take everything seriously, could he?

“What's that for then?”

IT WAS AN ORDER

July asked, “Who the heck would order you to do that kind of trip?”

Jhing panicked in a matter of millisecond when her eyes met Miko's so she quickly turned away to stare at her computer

What a sha eyes as he wrote:

THE BOSS

That earned laughter from most of the book department, even Ms Vams and Ms Stels smiled at Miko's antics

“You're high, bro,” Facio commented

While everyone was laughing, Jhing decided she was too busy ork to understand Miko's weirdness But when she couldn't help but take a glance, her palm immediately flew to her forehead the second she read what he wrote:

(/ﾟｰﾟ)/ HA HA HA HA＼(ﾟｰﾟ＼)

What the fu… This is so e

Miko always has ways to give siance

So annoying

Sure, Jhing didn’t hear his voice for the past few hours but the thing is, the noise still didn't stop! The chatters even becauy kept drawing stupid stuff on his whiteboard

Oh fine, he's the artist and sure, he quickly beca to do with his life He's like a child!

When lunch ca wasn’t interested in who he ith but her co-workers were curious so she unintentionally found out that Miko ith Ulysses and Marco¹ - whoever those men are

Who cares?

“That guy does every kind of stunts,” July said over lunch

Jhing also noticed that whenever Miko is gone, the editors will always talk about hi…

… wait, she really wants to complain

Can we change the topic?

“He's weird,” Yayo said as she ood way… He’s so cute”

“My gosh, if you keep thinking about Miko, your child will be born like him”

“Why not?” she said as she patted her 5-, has a sense of hu heart too I’ll dig a son like that”

Jhing almost choked

“Oh Jhing,” July said, slass of water “What happened to you?”

Jhing ht in my throat”

Big heart? Gods

Nothing won’t end with Miko

When Jhing came back, no one was in the office because everyone was still hanging out in the pantry, lobby, or outside the building She dazedly looks at the ain

The ’s heart skipped a bit

She turned around and met Miko’s eyes Despite the blackhalf of the latter’s expression… Jhing is 100 certain that he is s

Miko showed the whiteboard to Jhing

MANGO – ORANGE JUICE?

Jhing didn’t have the chance to talk, decline, or get theaway from the table when she heard fa went into panic mode She wanted to stand up and leave Miko but she was stunned when he himself suddenly walked away

When the group reached their chairs, Miko was already sitting in his cubicle He looks so serious while working On the other hand, Jhing was staring at the

She didn’t drink even a single drop from it even after the day ended

The following day, Miko was still not talking The act was not a big deal anymore so everyone just let him be foolish Plus, they were all busy ork They don't have much time to play around

Even Miko was surprisingly serious

Amazement was evident from Miss Zue’s face when she saw the book depart on work Even the re dust on the top of the shelf

Miss Zue got the attention of the tea at 3pm in room A3,” she said “Don't be late ah!”

Everybody said their “Yes ma’am”, but Miko, still with hisand a drawing:

SIR YES SIR!!!!! (￣￣)ゞ
