Lasia left her work with April behind and returned home.

First of all, if I were to describe her emotions, 90% would be irritation and anger.

‘April?’

The girls have been fighting each other since first grade and are unlucky.

Lasia’s image of April was exactly that. They even have their own family so they are busy playing.

However, his grades are second to his own and he always acts provocatively.

I didn’t like that attitude, but I just kept pretending that I was number one and behaved shamelessly.

However, what happened today could be seen as an invasion of territory and an act close to a military provocation.

‘Obviously I made an appointment… .’

April ignored him and took Shin Jeul with him.

It was not only rare to see April so actively asking for help from a man, but it had never been done before.

I don’t know what wind was blowing, but I took Shin Jeul with me.

“Ugh… . I’m annoyed.”

After entering the house, I throw myself into a bed that is larger than a double bed. Scented candles with an aroma can make you feel more comfortable, but they are not a fundamental treatment.

‘Why all of a sudden? Of course, it’s Shinjeul!’

Lasia’s heart was pounding strangely. The reason she lashed out at April differently than usual was because of none other than Shin Je-ul.

She herself doesn’t know her own feelings. What is certain, however, is that the moment April shamelessly appeared in front of him, his reason collapsed.

‘I spoke in such an aggressive tone, which is uncharacteristic of me!’

If it wasn’t for Shin Je-ul, he probably wouldn’t have said it so aggressively. The two were always on guard, like strong carnivores avoiding each other in the wild animal world.

But today, that gap has been crossed.

As Lasia was blaming herself, she kept thinking of Shin Jeul and became doubly irritated.

‘why?’

A being who got involved purely because of his hobbies and even thought he had taken advantage of his weaknesses.

‘No, am I just annoyed by what happened with Shin Je-ul? So, such a response… .’

She denied that she liked him or that she did it because she cared about him.

No matter what his true intentions were, he tried to understand his actions as much as possible.

Stress caused by Shin Jeul’s threats. That’s it.

But when I got back, I had new worries.

‘What do we do?’

If nothing else, what if Shin Jeul knew his secret and was offended by this?

expose.

In Lasia’s family, such hobbies are not welcomed and have issues with dignity.

We can’t just let things go like this, even if we go to the same school, are in the same class, and sit next to each other.

Although she received a text message from Shin Je-ul apologizing for not being able to keep her promise, she was still anxious.

‘I didn’t do anything wrong. still… .’

She was having trouble keeping her balance so that the neatly made bed sheets became disheveled.

He didn’t even notice that Seon Hayun came in.

“Lady. You must prepare quickly so that you can depart at the designated time.”

“…Wait a minute.”

“What else happened today? The situation makes no sense.”

“Sister… .”

Lasia explained what happened today with a somber expression.

Hayoon Seon looked dumbfounded for a moment at that trivial, if trivial, story.

“I know Shin Jeul because I have met him, but it is difficult to see him as someone who would threaten someone. Isn’t this an overreaction?”

“More than that, I don’t normally go out as aggressively as I did at my previous school. Things got weird today.”

“I became sensitive because of stress. And if it bothers you that much, why don’t you ask confidently?”

“I was going to do that today. Do you really know me in disguise? But April!”

Seon Ha-yoon looked at her with a surprised expression as her voice suddenly rose.

“Aha, it means that because she was jealous because her man was taken away, she acted out of the ordinary.”

“Why is the story like that? It’s not a romantic feeling! Break your promise! Even though April took her by force, there has to be fidelity!”

“That’s why I’m angry.”

“It’s not a romantic feeling.”

“Yes.”

Hayoon Seon made an amused expression. Lasia, who usually had little interest in men even because of her father, is now reacting like this.

“The man is also a Winkle fan anyway, so wouldn’t he come to the event? You’ll know when you see it whether your disguise has been discovered or not. Wake up and get ready quickly.”

Seon Hayun took care of her skillfully. Lasia looked at her like that and decided something.

“Sister, prepare a disguise too.”

“Why me?”

“You said you saved two people.”

“…That one person is me?”

“Now, let’s go. Who else but my sister would I ask for this?”

Seon Hayun was forcibly dragged away with a shocked expression.

An important meeting took place at this event venue. At this event venue, which was rented on the first floor of a department store, Lasia was anxious.

It was important that Shin Jeul entered first and how he reacted when he came in front of them.

“Mr. Lee Sia. It’s been a while.”

But isn’t Shin Je-ul treating her with a false identity?

‘what? ‘Don’t you know everything and act accordingly?’

Lasia was confused. So what did you do at the event then?

‘Did he just say what he wanted to do instead of the script? But there’s no reason to do anything differently from the script. Did you notice? Or are you just going to let it go?’

Lasia couldn’t understand Shin Jeul’s actions.

‘If you really don’t know, your actions so far… . ‘Am I mistaken?’

Although the hope circuit has been turned on, it is not a stage for peace of mind. Lasia continued to look toward Shin Jeul while waiting for the lottery event.

But really, I just watch without saying anything else.

Although it was annoying to see the work in a somewhat distracting manner, she felt her own tension dissipating.

Because Shin Je-ul really treats me like a stranger and does his own thing.

Lasia also exchanges glances with Seon Hayun with a somewhat stable mind.

“Do you think you got caught, sister? How does it look?”

“It doesn’t seem like he’s particularly concerned. It seems natural to the other person that there is no sense of discomfort.”

Hayoon Seon was accurate. It’s just that his actions were natural because he knew everything about Shin Jeul.

Because the threat itself was Lasia’s illusion in the first place.

‘The threat… . ‘You said it wasn’t?’

I’m sure I should like it, but for some reason, I feel uneasy.

More than anything, I felt a bit of regret at the illusion that the story was unfolding like Winkle.

But Lasia shook her head again and focused on the lottery.

The result of the lottery was as expected. We couldn’t overcome the competition alone.

However, Shin Jeul’s team mobilized more people, so one person won.

‘i envy you.’

It was a time when Lasia envied that. At some point, Shin Je-ul came and entrusted a gift to him.

“Why this?”

Take “. You wanted it.”

Surprisingly, this man gives the gift to himself. Normally you should like it.

But Lasia couldn’t understand.

‘why? You’re a fan of Winkle. ‘Why do you like me so much?’

If you are a true fan of Winkle, you would have been very happy to receive this.

But give it to yourself?

Crush?

For a moment, Lasia remembered her own family.

‘If you’re a fan of Winkle, you should prioritize Winkle!’

As a fan of this work herself, she did not understand Shin Je-ul’s actions and was angry.

“Are you a fan?”

So this is what came out.

But this was more anger than curiosity. The attitude is, ‘Are you still a fan of Winkle?’

The act itself feels bad right now.

“No, I’m not like that… .”

Shin Je-ul stumbled in embarrassment and Lasia turned around.

“Whether it’s a crush or something else, things like this really make me doubt whether he’s a fan of Winkle. Please be considerate.”

“…I’m sorry if it seemed that way.”

Shin Jeul looked downcast. When Lasia saw that, she thought she was getting angry again and turned around.

Seon Hayun whispers to stop Lasia.

“Lady. That action… .”

“I know too, so don’t tell me.”

But Lasia shook her head violently, thinking of her father.

It may be a sign of goodwill, and he may have been trying to impress himself.

I can’t tolerate it. This applies both to his own family situation and as a fan of Winkle.

However, Lasia felt belated regret that she had reacted too sensitively.

‘Why, if only Shinjeul is involved!’

I usually move cautiously. But now, what is this?

She hurried her steps to get out of this scene quickly.

But as if it were déjà vu, alarms started ringing here.

[Monster appearance alert! A monster cloud occurs! Monster appearance alert!]

“!”

Lasia turned her body reflexively but hesitated for a moment.

‘If I use my skills here… .’

There are many people with similar abilities in the world, but Lasia has ice abilities that are quite rare in the academy. There are only four people in the entire grade, including her.

Naturally, if you use it, you will be suspected.

“Lady!”

As if aware of her feelings, Hayoon Seon runs out, preparing an ether bullet in front of her.

‘Stay here… .’

Lasia thinks about this for a moment and then shakes her head.

‘At least in front of other people… !’

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if it’s in front of Shinjeul. She deliberately goes outside the event venue to check for monsters.

“…?”

But there was nothing.

Strangely, the monster Cloud appeared, but there was no trace of the monster.

While people were evacuating here and there, they seemed to have gradually realized the strangeness, so they stopped one by one and started muttering.

Lasia is embarrassed. A black cloud appears, but there is no monster in sight?

“Lady!”

Seon Hayun, who was protecting the people inside, comes to see her.

“Lady. The monster cloud has spread, but there is no monster in sight. What about that one?”

“This one too. What’s going on? No monsters come out of the monster cloud.”

It was a series of incomprehensible events. Monsters do not appear in Monster Cloud?

There has never been an example like this in history.

Other guilds that rushed to the scene also just tilted their heads and conducted an on-site investigation.

This was the end of the event, but everyone couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Lasia looked toward the event venue and saw Shin Je-ul and his group leaving in the distance, receiving confirmation from the police.

“…”

“Lady. If you still have regrets, why don’t you tell me now?”

Seon Hayun takes care of him by his side. Lasia smiled slightly at that thought.

“Sister. Still, it would be better to say it again now.”

“Still, it’s surprising that a young lady reacts so emotionally to a man.”

“That’s not the case?”

Lasia was sighing and moving towards Seon Hayun, who could not stop her.

“Huh?”

For a moment, she felt a strange sense of discomfort. Not in the direction of Sinjeul, but exactly above it.

But she could see nothing but the building and the darkness of the evening.

‘Am I oversensitive today?’

Lasia thought so to herself and began to track down Shin Jeul.

But the evening darkness quickly began to cover them.
