Notes
“No, no, no, what do I do? Please, breathe, Lai, please. Shit, come on, don’t bail on me! COME ON!” I hear him yell, his voice shaking, and as I’m suffocating, his hands are pushing against my chest, his lips simultaneously on mine. I think he says something, his voice breaking, but I don’t understand him. I’m at the point where I can feel and hear everything, but it’s like I’m unconscious. Is that a thing? I don’t know, and in every second that passes by, I care less and less because I’m slowly drifting into nothingness.Laila is just a normal girl, only she moves with a wheelchair, breathes with a ventilator, and has just become a freshman at her favorite college along with her best friend. She’s shy, awkward, and isn’t too confident in her abilities.However, from all the students she could get as helpers, the one assigned to her is Ace. With his dark hair, tattoos, and dark posture, they’re the complete opposite. He’s unbearable, mysterious, annoying, and unpredictable. Spending time with him is driving her crazy.Ace’s behavior is confusing - he’s hot and cold, comes and goes, gentle but harsh, and when she already thinks that he has a heart, he proves her wrong.But why doesn’t she find another helper? Unless there’s something more to him as it seems…
