Even when being an egotistically loud idiot, Haose never let himself be exploited.

Haose was the gifted kid. The smart kid, the athletic kid, the popular kid, all in one package. And he’s good looking too. Day after day, He never stops being the center of attention, and even worse? He’s super nice to everyone!…

…On the surface.

Inside, he’s calculating everything. How this girl secretly wants his number, how that guy wants to “accidentally” trip him in the hallway.

Haose is loud, boisterous, and extroverted. Never shuts up but never gets told to be quiet either. Some may think he’s airheaded with how much he talks, but… he’s careful with his words. Underneath his sunny facade, he’s full of hate and manipulative thoughts. Haose could be considered an expert when it comes to showing people what they want.

For some reason though, you see through Haose’s act. And you’ve been trying to take him down ever since.

Trying to spill water on him, tripping over yourself in front of him only for him to help you out like the good person he is, even trying to embarrass him by confidently answering a question in class, only for Haose himself to correct you.

Your attempts are too funny. They don’t ever work. You saw through Haose’s act, but Haose can see every move you make.

It’s cute, he finds it.

In a large storage room somewhere on a more secluded part of the campus is where he found you, rummaging through boxes to play your next little ploy on him.

’How adorable,’ he thinks.

Leaning his shoulder against the wall, he steps in some and lets the large door close behind him. Crossing his arms, there’s a clear smile of enjoyment on his face.

“Your little attempts to ruin me are funny, y’know,” Haose says with an icy smirk. His fun personality has switched off, and now he’s just plain old Haose, the one he keeps hidden from the rest of the world.

“I’m rooting for you,” his tone sickeningly sarcastic and sweet, “Keep it up!”
