#19

Aiden seemed to have thought of them too upon seeing those people. Sonnet answered listlessly.

“No.”

“Then I guess you’ll need to find a room around here?”

“That’s why I was planning to look for a room after lectures end.”

Just thinking about it made Sonnet feel suffocated inside. She was even more worried because she’d have to find something in a hurry and would probably spend a lot of money. The room condition would probably be poor too.

Aiden looked at Sonnet and said.

“Come to my house.”

His tone as he spoke readily was quite light. Like he was talking about what to have for lunch.

Sonnet asked Aiden, puzzled.

“Isn’t your family going back to your hometown?”

“This is my hometown.”

Ah, when Sonnet immediately understood but gave no response, Aiden said with a hint of laughter.

“Father doesn’t usually come into the manor much anyway, and this time he’s gone somewhere else entirely.”

“….”

“Our family is just me and father.”

When Sonnet didn’t respond, Aiden continued.

“I’ll be alone at home during this holiday anyway with nothing to do. I thought it would be nice to spend it with you instead.”

Then she saw someone running toward Sonnet. Looking closely, it was Tester.

He stopped in front of Sonnet and breathed heavily in a rush.

Then he saw Aiden and flinched, glancing around awkwardly before immediately speaking to Sonnet.

“You’re not going home this time either?”

His voice still carried hurried breathing.

When Sonnet simply nodded, Tester said.

“Then want to come with me? Mother said she made a lot of food this time and told me to bring you too.”

At the unexpected words, Sonnet couldn’t bring herself to refuse immediately. Tester’s mother was kind.

“And take this opportunity to greet my parents. Your mother has been asking my mother about how you’re doing.”

“She’s been asking about how I’m doing?”

“It’s been quite a while since you’ve been attending here and haven’t gone up there. So….”

“I don’t even have a train ticket to go, and I’d only hear unpleasant things if I went, so why would I go.”

“Still….”

“Tell your mother thank you for me. And tell my mother that I’m doing very well.”

“You should go and tell her that yourself….”

“Sonnet said she’s not going.”

At the low voice that suddenly interrupted, Tester flinched and looked up.

There was no trace of laughter on Aiden’s face.

For a moment, Sonnet was reminded of Aiden from the fight. He looked like he might punch Tester at any moment.

Tester seemed to know instinctively and backed away with an awkward smile.

“I’ll be going.”

He immediately turned around. Sonnet watched Tester hurriedly running away.

Then Aiden subtly blocked her path and faced Sonnet.

“Come to my house. It won’t be boring.”

In his staring gaze, there was somehow a compulsion she couldn’t refuse.

When Sonnet didn’t answer immediately, Aiden said naturally.

“Even if you find a room around here, it’ll cost a lot of money and you’ll likely get a shabby room. And with exams approaching now, it would be better to study comfortably together with me.”

At the mention of studying, Sonnet’s ears perked up. Right, she had been doing all this with Aiden to become first place.

Sonnet answered without hesitation to the original purpose that suddenly intruded.

“Alright.”

Actually, she was curious about what Aiden’s house was like. She was also curious about how he studied.

Aiden smiled brightly and took Sonnet’s hand. His grip felt quite strong. More than ever before.

***

“See you in the evening. I’ll wait in front of the dormitory.”

Aiden told Sonnet she only needed to bring herself. Everything would be available at his house.

Even so, Sonnet needed time to pack her bag.

First, she opened her wardrobe to find clothes to wear, but there were only three black dresses and a brown dress eaten by moths.

Including the black dress she was currently wearing, she only had four summer dresses in total.

She had never been interested in dresses or fashion, so she had deliberately bought only the same type of dress.

‘Should I have bought more different dresses?’

However, Sonnet quickly changed her mind. Being greedy about fashion would only make her short on money.

Sonnet put the dresses in her bag and finally tried to pack underwear, but they were all worn out, stretched, and had pieces of fabric falling off.

She usually wore underwear until it completely fell apart, so they were all in poor condition. Besides, she wasn’t wearing them to show anyone.

But now, Sonnet couldn’t readily put the underwear in her bag. Living in the same house with Aiden… And they were clearly lovers.

‘Aiden will definitely try to do it….’

When she had kissed Aiden before, his hand had naturally moved down below her waist.

At that time, Sonnet felt he was quite skilled. He had even suggested going to a room together afterward.

She didn’t know that Aiden was subtly expecting it now. Sonnet didn’t dislike it either. When she kissed Aiden, she had almost been swept away without realizing it.

Moreover, she had heard a lot of talk from people around her. Stories about feeling bad after sleeping with a man, or thinking they were going crazy because it felt so good.

If she experienced it with Aiden to see if it was really good or bad… it didn’t seem like it would be bad.

Even after thinking that far, Sonnet couldn’t put the underwear in her bag.

No matter how she looked at it, the stretched and worn underwear was too embarrassing to show to someone else.

Sonnet looked up to check the clock. It was almost evening time when she had promised to meet Aiden.

‘It’s too late to go buy some right now.’

But she couldn’t go without wearing underwear.

Sonnet had no choice but to put the worn-out underwear in her bag.

While resolving that if she ended up having relations with Aiden, she would make it as dark as possible.

After packing her toiletries, Sonnet took a final look around her room. Nothing seemed to be missing.

The bag was already heavy for Sonnet to carry with both hands. It was because of all the books packed inside.

Sonnet thoroughly locked her dormitory room and went down to the first floor. The surroundings were quiet as if everyone had left.

For some reason, her heart felt excited and filled with anticipation.

‘Is it because I’m staying with Aiden?’

Sonnet had always spent Larne God’s blessing day alone.

All the kids around her would leave excitedly with heavy bags, saying they were going to their hometowns, but since Sonnet was staying nearby, she would pack lightly and book a separate room.

So she had no anticipation or excitement about the long holiday.

Anyway, that day was just a day for Sonnet to study subjects she was lacking in, so it had no special meaning unlike usual.

Sonnet hummed a song that was popular five years ago to herself as she came down the stairs.

When she reached the first floor, most of the lights were off, making it seem like a completely empty place.

The Dormitory Supervisor’s Office also had its lights off, making it look even darker.

Normally the supervisor’s office should be lit until 9 PM, but given the day, the supervisor seemed to have left early too.

It was dark enough for ghosts to pop out, but Sonnet wasn’t particularly afraid.

She opened the door happily. As soon as she did, a lamp right in front illuminated the area, surrounding it with bright light.

The sun had already set so it wasn’t hot. Rather, a cool breeze gently brushed Sonnet’s face, making her lips curve up pleasantly.

On the street stood a quite large carriage. The wood looked glossy and luxurious even at first glance.

Aiden was standing in front of the carriage and approached as soon as he saw Sonnet. A cool mint scent rushed into her nose.

Aiden looked more aristocratic than usual today. His hair neatly swept back, a shirt with crisp edges, pants that looked high-quality even in the dark.

He looked neat yet dignified, as if he had just stepped out of an important banquet held at the royal palace.

Then a man in a suit naturally took the bag Sonnet had been carrying.

“Did you pack everything?”

Sonnet was momentarily flustered, then nodded at Aiden’s words. He seemed to be someone Aiden employed.

Aiden paid no attention to that person and personally opened the carriage door for her.

The inside of the carriage was covered in green velvet. It was much more luxurious, and with cushions included, it felt like a small reception room.

As Sonnet looked around with curiosity, Aiden spoke.

“It’ll take 20 minutes from here.”

Sonnet looked at Aiden and nodded. She could see a faint smile on his face.

“Is there anything uncomfortable?”

When Sonnet shook her head, Aiden asked.

“You haven’t had dinner, have you?”
