Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 88

Chapter 88:

We rolled the dice, playing a few rounds. It seemed like even almighty favored Derek because he was so lucky today. I, on the other hand, wasn’t so lucky. Soon it was my turn.

Without hesitation, I chose Challenge. This was the decision I had made before the game started.

The theme of the challenge was pulled out of a box. After reading it, Felix burst out laughing.

“Ask the first one through the door the color of his underpants.” Once he read it aloud, everyone else at the table burst out laughing.

Louise looked embarrassed. It was as if she was worried about me.

Derek stared at me, laughing. “If you don’t want to do it, choose Truth over Challenge. Women have the right to break the rules of the games.”

“No, I will.”

When she heard me refuse, her reaction changed. As he gave me a look, I picked up a glass of beer from the table, drank it all, and poured myself another half glass. Then I got up and slowly made my way to the door.

A man happened to walk into the bar at the same time. To my surprise, he was a handsome man.

He was wearing a white shirt, one hand in his pocket and a light gray suit jacket slung over the other arm. He looked neat and refined.

“Hello, Sir.”

At the sound of my voice, he stopped in front of me, looking at me with surprise.

Perhaps he was already thinking that I was one of those women who specialized in seducing men on such an occasion.

I thought that, at that moment, everyone in the booth, including Derek, must have been encouraging me….

He was holding a cup in his right hand, and then I gently placed the other on his shoulder.

The fabric of his shirt looked great, and was comfortable to the touch. Slowly, I leaned closer to him. Although he was a little tense, he didn’t try to avoid me.

Truth be told, I was a little nervous as he did it. It was my first time doing something like this, so I was afraid of being rejected.

Once I was just inches away from him, I smiled and said, “Actually, here’s the thing…”

“What game are you playing?” he asked. His voice was pleasant to hear.

Surprised, I gave him a look and replied, “How clever you are!”. Amused by my reaction, he shrugged.

“It wasn’t that hard to guess.” Now that I had guessed the situation correctly, it was better to tell him the truth.

“We’re playing Truth or Dare. I wanted to ask, well…um…. what color are your underpants.”

As I said this last part of my sentence, I was almost mumbling. The reason was that the question was too embarrassing, and I was worried that he would be so embarrassed that he would end up refusing to answer.

But to my surprise, a faint smile appeared on his lips. “I’ll tell you, but on one condition.”

His smile was nice to see, but in a different way than Derek’s. It was pure and bright.

“What’s the condition?”

I snapped to attention the moment he said he had a condition.

The man lowered his head and said half-jokingly, “This is a very private matter, so only my girlfriend has the right to know. If you agree to be my girlfriend for a week, I wouldn’t mind telling you.”

It was obvious he was flirting with me with the way he was talking, but, even so, he was still being a gentleman about it. It didn’t seem obscene at all.

Since I was the one who provoked him to say such words, he was calm right now.

“Are you kidding me?” I replied.

“Oh? Is it that hard to do?” there was still a smile on his face when he said that.

“Not really.”

I turned around and saw that everyone in the booth was craning their necks and watching me with excitement and curiosity. Only Derek was leaning against the couch with an unreadable expression under the light.

I wondered what he would look like if he decided to take off his mask.

As that thought crossed my mind, my heart filled with overwhelming sadness.

“Okay. Deal.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the man slipped his arm around my shoulders as if it were second nature.

“Where are your friends?”

I froze and pointed to the booth not far away.

A faint smile appeared on his lips. “Since you’re playing, as your boyfriend, it’s only natural for me to accompany you.” This time, I was speechless.

Next, he placed his arm around my waist and walked in. I felt a little tense about this, but after taking a few steps, I finally asked, “So…. What color are they?”

He turned his head toward me and laughed, which made me cringe. When I thought he wasn’t going to answer, he said, “Dark gray. I’m wearing size L briefs.”

I just asked him about the color. She didn’t need to tell me every detail. So, I couldn’t help but imagine how he liked the dark gray briefs.

Everyone was watching us. “What color?”

The surprise on Louise’s face was probably because she couldn’t believe she had managed to seduce a man.

I lowered my head, looking away from Derek, and muttered, “Dark gray.”

As I finished the sentence, Derek suddenly stood up, and so did Felix and Eric. The man next to me immediately removed his hand from my shoulder.
