Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 83

Graduation Day…

“I am very sorry, Randell, if we have to do this instead of attending your graduation.” His mother hugged him tightly while apologizing.

The three of them are in front of the thick metal door again, isolating him as usual while waiting for the full moon to pass.

“You can ask anything you want after this. A new computer set? What kind of game do you want? Just bare for the night. okay? ” His father added, trying to comfort him for not attending a once in a lifetime occasion.

“It’s fine, pa, just give me money.” He rubbed his index and thumb, gesturing for money.

His parents look at him more worriedly the more he tries to act okay. They thought that Randell was just acting strong so that they wouldn’t get worried, but in reality, Randell has had no problem being isolated ever since he got close to Nida.

Randell loved this particular week of the month because it was the only week he could get close to Nida.

“Okay, see you tomorrow,”

“I’ll make your favorite food for breakfast.”

“Okay, see you.” Randell waved his hand, saying goodbye to his parents.

Then his father pulled the heavy door to close it.

uuuuuuuggghh

He groans loudly because he is closing it with all of his body.

Clang!

Bang!

The heavy, thick door is finally closed and Randell is once again alone in his isolation room.

“This is less scary,” he commented lightly as he lay on the bed.

He seems calm, but that doesn’t mean he is completely fine being locked up. He still feels heavy and glum, but he is not cowering in fear any more.

Unlike Ranz, who is spirited and stout, Randell has a lot of fears and is weak-hearted. He is used to chanting children’s songs to ease his anxiety, but recently he found a more effective way to ease his fear. He thinks of Nida until he can fall asleep, but most of the time he ends up smiling alone, just thinking of how eccentric Nida is.

“Ranz”

He flinched when suddenly someone called out Ranz’s name.

He looked around the empty room and searched for the voice.

“Here, here, I am here.” In hushed tones, Nida said.

Randell looked up at the ceiling and saw a small crack and a brown eye that was peeping through it.

It was Nida. She only thought that Randell’s nickname was “Ranz,” not knowing it was his other personality.

“How did you get there?” he asked while hurriedly moving the bed to reach the ceiling.

“I went here to pick you up. Your parents won’t allow me to see you, so I crawled inside one of your vents. I almost got fried, you know! ” She whispered while she seriously told him what happened. “Anyway, I got lost and crawled out onto your ceiling. I didn’t know where the exit was and ended up here! ”

Randell was dumbfounded by Nida’s eccentricity and, at the same time, felt grateful for her effort.

“Go back now! You’ll get in trouble if Mom catches you. ” He poked his finger into the crack to widen it a little bit. The crack at the side of the ceiling is only the size of her eyes.

“Like I said, I am lost! I don’t know which way is the right way! Let me down and let me use the door instead! ” Her voice got a little louder, and that made Randell gesture to her to lower her voice.

The two were bickering so much that the hole in the ceiling ended up growing wide.

Nida convinced Randell to go up and escape the isolation to attend his graduation ceremony.

Today at 6 pm is supposed to be his high-school graduation.

Randell hesitated for a moment because it was his first time disobeying his parents.

“There won’t be any problems if I get out now, right? I’ve been isolating here for years, but nothing happened. Maybe I’ll be fine. ” He thought internally as his eyes shook and he swallowed his saliva while thinking about what to do.

“Come on!” she shouted while reaching out her arms to him to let Randell climb up.

He shakes his head before finally grabbing the hand of Nida.

They struggled for a moment to climb up, but they managed to safely go up.

They crawled for a minute before they could feel air inside the narrow passage.

“Exit!” Nida excitedly shouted since she badly wanted to stretch out her body.

“Quiet down! ”

He stealthily peeked out the hole and realized that they were out in their storage room. He jumped off the hole and opened his arms to catch Nida, who happily jumped in.

“Are you having fun?” he asked Nida, who was smiling from ear to ear. Even though he asked this question to her, the most happy person right now is himself. His heart has been beating wildly since he went up the ceiling. He loves the excitement he feels from their sweet escape.

Randell catches her from going down the vent and ends up hugging her. He teasingly hugged her up and would not let her go, and kept her feet floating from carrying her.

The two chuckled at his action, but soon their glazes became sticky as they glued their eyes together.

The dim and silent storage room only receives a small amount of light from its small glass window, which reflects the orange light of the setting sun.

The small amount of warm light made the two teenagers gaze intensely into each other’s eyes.

“Is it alright if I fall in love with her too?” He asked himself as Nida’s image reflected in his eyes.

“Would Ranz get angry if I tried to kiss his girlfriend?”

Seeing Nida’s smile, Randell’s heartbeat beats wilder. His complicated thoughts become more chaotic, but his heart has only one desire.

“I want her too.” he told himself. then he started to give her light kisses until the kiss slowly began to go deeper and deeper.

He decided to hide this from Ranz and kept being his proxy.

Ranz didn’t know what happens every time he blacked out, so Randell thought it would be all right.

“What to do?” Randell asked while both of them caught their breath.

“What?” she asked as he let go of her body.

“I won’t be in jail for teaching a fifteen-year-old kid to kiss.”

He asked, but in reality, he was more worried about Ranz than the police. “What if Ranz caught me?”

They walked all the way to school while holding hands. They even made an oath together to love each other forever, behind Ranz’s back.

“My sin is growing bigger, but why don’t I feel guilty at all?” He wonders, but decides to not worry about it now and just enjoy his little time with Nida.

Soon after they reached the school, they met with Toto, who is currently an usher.

Unfortunately, they didn’t catch on to Randell’s turn to walk up the stage; his name was called already. That is why they just decided to have their own graduation ceremony on the school’s roof top.

They had fun and had the best day of their lives, enjoying the time with the three of them.

Toto left first, while Nida and Randell planned to wait for the fireworks display.

“God damn it!”

“Huh? Ranz?”

“Finally, you can hear me!” Ranz’s voice became hoarse from shouting.

“You came out early?” Randell responds to Ranz, who wonders why he is cursing after waking too early.

“Why traitor? Are you enjoying your time stealing my girlfriend? ”

“Wait, what are you—?”

“Don’t try to deny it! I’ve been awake for quite some time! You fucking kissed her twice!”

“R-Ranz, please allow me to ex—.”

“No! I would not be angry if Nida initiated the act, but it was you who blatantly betrayed me! I told you she was mine!”

Ranz is fuming inside his head about something he can’t think of a way to explain, and he ends up holding his head to focus more on talking to Ranz, but Nida, who is beside him, thought he was sick.

“Are you okay?” she asked worriedly.

“Randell! Switch with me now! I’ll take care of my girlfriend! ”

“What will you do?”

“Why do I have to tell you that?”

“I don’t want her to get hurt. Please calm down first before switching with me. ”

It was the first time Randell heard Ranz burst into a rage. He didn’t know what he would do. That is why he didn’t let Ranz switch control of their bodies.

This action made Ranz angrier, and he forced his way to Randell’s body, still shouting in a rage.

“I AM HIS BOY FRIEND. I KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR HER! ” Ranz shouted as he kept pushing himself out of control.

This made Randell experience extreme chest pain and strange inner pain, but he still resisted and didn’t let Ranz have his way.

It was their first time having a fight.

“Randell!” Ranz shouted in anger.

“No, Ranz! Stop!” he shouted in pain as he felt like his chest was being ripped open.

Clink!

A sharp sound suddenly rang out, and both of them were kicked out of control of their bodies.

“What the fuck?”

“What happened?”

The two became confused, and before they knew it, their body is transforming into a beast that neither of them had control of.
