ED: Sometimes, I just want to hit our MC and tell her to just couess, I just don’t understand the complexities of l-o-v-e Tss

Chapter 51: Twisted

It was sure a stupid thing to do But it felt like the right thing They say stupidity is contiguous IGin down into this senseless downfall; but at that time, we didn't care

His proxiood I can hear hi on the hile he's towering over me

”Gin,” I tried to say I pushed hi ”

”Ignore it” he groaned but I felt him stopped

”Don't be stupid”

I could feel so rooot up fast and fixed my clothes I shook my head; I didn't notice that it has disheveled upward

I can feel Gin s, his war about this skin to skin contact that made me lose any rationality left in my already clouded mind It seems such situations created an electrical bond between me and Gin that can only be diffused by close contact

”Fixed yourself My God, Gin” I told him But I s that had happened; fro into this

“What? Can’t you admit it, shi+a?”

”Adetting closer

”That you feel the same way”

I was stunned at what he said I sed and avoided his eyes In the back ofat rinning; his hair unruly because of ed and deep

They're different, yet also the sa for Gin, as well But we're in a different situation, a different stage I wouldn’t trade the ti But the short tihts, the sacrifices— everything dug deep within me I don't even knohat he has seen in me

I don’t kno to fight for so like this, especially when I know sooner or later everything may fall apart

“What if I am, Gin?” I asked in an almost whisper ”Are you not afraid hoill this end?”

“You’re afraid of so the ways you can lose it”

”Because there are many ways to lose all of this, Gin And I wouldn't want that kind of hell”

Gin stood properly and looked at ladly walk by your side through the abyss of hell, shi+a,” he said “Because you will never lose me”

I was so damn thankful that ere able to fix ourselves when Miss Aura ca the two of us, Gin and I; asking a silent query as I doing in this place

I said that I have so to ask to Captain; which was really not a lie It's true that I was there to ask But over the things that happened next, I had no control on them

Miss Aura said that Gin was being called to the Head that He looked at ot out, ere left inside the room

I don't know if it’s because of the steady look Miss Aura gave me that's why I couldn'tShe can't let what happened si far different from what I had expected

”shi+a, ant you all to come back safe All of you”

I was stunned at what she said ”I know,” I answered I can't help the wonder bloo the Linus Cup, but why did she have to say these words now?

“This Game will not be easy for you” She stared at aze” Just— just do your best to come back”

I watched her as she walked out of the training rooe is that? Of course, I will doand preparing for since my arrival here

I will do everything to return I still have to fix a few things up and I have to keep my promise to Lucas I will return and ill see each other

But I can feel that there's so off with Miss Aura's statement

She's trying to tell ht to me What is it this tiet even worse?

—

I should have not said that

Apparently, I had incurred that angel's tongue¹ My reot out of hand It started four days before the Cup

The official training of the group ended today It felt like a graduation It's a relief that on't be expecting any body pain and noafter today

But the real gaies of the undistorted truth and procedures of the Game Then, the true environ Cup was even shown fast

People were now staring at us as if bidding their goodbyes in advance No one could tell if we can really return and if so, can we return together with everyone People were staring at us funny

It suddenly felt like we’re so block All the privileges and prestigious rights of being a one And all we can feel was the pressure, the nervousness, the dread for the upco Game

Four days before the Linus Cup, in the afternoon, I saw that person

I was entering the castle when I saw hi from inside The Headmaster of Boran

My first thought hat he was doing in titan Acadea back to the black and heavily tinted vehicle that was parked in the entrance when our eyes met

I stood there, staring at hi nition He knows me That's also his reaction when I saw him the first time at Principal Bins' birthday party

I didn't look away from him Who are you? Why do you know me? His face was stone hard, without any expression But I can see a hint of apprehension in the way he moved As if he's uneasy as I stared at him

He looked away and continued walking towards the vehicle He reached the handle of the door before the driver could reach his side to open it He's as though hurrying to leave ht

And then I saw it

So was on his hand Like a tattoo It's written on his wrist; it's a unique letter I couldn't see it before because his wrist was always covered with the cuff of his formal suit But as he reached for the handle of the car's door, it slid

The vehicle left but I stayed outside They have disappeared fro at the tracks they've passed There's only one thing on my mind at that time
