#29

‘Is it because I know what kind of person Aiden is?’

Aiden, seen from beside her, was a genius. The type that Sonnet could never catch up to.

Perhaps because of that, Sonnet no longer found the first place position so appealing to her eyes.

For a moment, Sonnet felt confused in her heart.

She had acted so desperately for first place without anything visible to show for it, but now it felt strange that she was indifferent about it.

Just then, the pen in Sonnet’s hand slipped away lightly. When Sonnet turned around in surprise, Aiden casually took the pen.

He brought over the notebook Sonnet had been writing in and began copying the notes from his own notebook.

“I thought your hand might hurt.”

Sonnet stared at Aiden blankly. She not only had to copy the notebook, but also review the content Aiden had mentioned would be tricky on this exam.

Aiden’s handwriting began filling Sonnet’s notebook. When Sonnet just watched, Aiden said,

“Ask me if you have any questions while studying.”

Only then did Sonnet come to her senses and answer.

“Okay.”

Looking back at her desk, her confused feelings became calm.

‘Anyway, I am getting help with studying from Aiden.’

Moreover, now that she knew what kind of person Aiden was, she didn’t need to obsess over first place anymore, and learning about his circumstances had brought them closer.

Most importantly, since she had even been intimate with Aiden, Sonnet had practically achieved all the desires that girls her age wanted to fulfill.

‘That alone is enough.’

As Sonnet concluded this and looked back at her book, strangely her heart wasn’t as decisive. There was something unsettling and hollow that had settled in her feelings.

Perhaps it was because she thought this relationship would end someday.

Strangely, she grew to like Aiden more and more. To the point where she envied whoever would marry him.

‘Surely they’ll have a much better family background than me.’

Sonnet felt bitter inside, envying that unknown someone from the future so much. Because it was a world she could never approach.

Aiden accommodated Sonnet as much as she studied hard.

Aiden seemed to know too. That Sonnet had to study that hard just to maintain even second place.

That fact made Sonnet feel bad, but she also felt fortunate that Aiden was helping her, making her feelings complicated and subtle.

When she barely suppressed those unsettling feelings and finished studying, she was extremely tired.

She had dozed off subtly, and when she woke up like that, it was morning. Sonnet panicked for a moment and looked around.

This was definitely Aiden’s room, but he was nowhere to be seen. Just in case, she lifted the blanket, but her clothes were still on.

Sonnet looked around the room blankly again before getting up from the bed. Where had Aiden gone so early in the morning?

Just as she opened the door, a mint scent brushed past her nose.

When Sonnet looked up, Aiden was standing there holding a white box, fully dressed neatly.

“You’re already awake.”

He held out the white box. When she looked to see what it was, “Solert Patisserie” was written on top of the box.

When Sonnet’s eyes widened as she looked, Aiden smiled freshly.

“I thought you’d like this.”

Sonnet received the box in a daze. When she just looked at the box, Aiden opened it for her.

She could see the carrot cake that had been so praised around here.

It looked quite different from the carrot cake she had eaten at Aiden’s manor – the carrot cake sold at this patisserie had much more cream on top.

‘I heard it’s difficult to buy.’

Even if you came when they opened, you had to wait quite a while standing in a long line. Plus, this place was four hours away from here.

“Aiden, you didn’t buy this yourself, did you?”

“I bought it myself though?”

“You really bought it yourself?”

“Yeah.”

“I heard you have to wait a long time to buy this.”

“I did wait, but I was doing it to give to you, so what would be difficult about it?”

Sonnet couldn’t understand. Someone like Aiden could easily have someone else do it for him. Why did he go through that trouble?

“Won’t you accept it?”

When she looked up, Aiden smiled and met Sonnet’s eyes.

Sonnet felt warmth spreading in her heart. It had just been something she mentioned casually, but Aiden took it seriously and waited a long time at a distant place to buy the carrot cake.

“Thank you.”

Toward Aiden’s sincerity, those were the only words Sonnet could say.

Aiden took a step closer and bent his upper body. Leaning one cheek slightly toward Sonnet’s lips.

Sonnet didn’t hesitate and pressed her lips to his cheek.

Aiden grinned and then roughly bit Sonnet’s lips. He placed the cake box Sonnet was holding on the bookshelf beside them and kissed her lips more deeply as if swallowing her breath.

Unlike his gentle attitude when he was smiling softly, Aiden pushed against Sonnet’s body and sucked on her tongue without giving her time to breathe. His breath when they briefly parted was hot.

Before Sonnet’s back hit the door, Aiden protected her back with his hand. When Sonnet looked up, Aiden looked down and said,

“Today is the last day.”

She was about to say it wasn’t quite the last day, but Sonnet didn’t say more. Perhaps Aiden also knew what this relationship was like.

Aiden opened the door. Sonnet didn’t particularly refuse Aiden. Because it might be the last time. They wouldn’t be late for class anyway.

***

Throughout the lecture, Sonnet was very tired. After playing too much and then picking up a pen again, she had no interest and found it boring.

Normally she would have stared at the professor with burning eyes, but now she didn’t even have the energy for that.

‘I used to look down on such people the most.’

Those types who couldn’t properly adapt after a holiday ended.

Sonnet used to look down on them and click her tongue inwardly. But now Sonnet had become such a person. Because of Aiden.

No, thanks to Aiden. If it weren’t for Aiden, Sonnet wouldn’t have known such fun.

The lake where she played with Aiden and the delicious food, the fresh trees and stinging sunlight, Aiden’s hot breath filled her head.

There were lectures she attended with Aiden, but the last lecture was one she attended alone.

Even if she didn’t concentrate much on the lecture, there was no problem since the professor gave them separately organized materials.

Sonnet was underlining the content the professor emphasized when she let out a light sigh. Both her body and heart still hadn’t gotten over the lingering feelings from that holiday.

Moreover, the carrot cake from the patisserie that Aiden had given her tasted better than any cake she had eaten before, so she still thought about it.

While Sonnet was drawing the particularly fresh summer leaves, the professor said,

“We’ll end here for today.”

Sonnet didn’t know those words would sound so welcome. She packed her bag hurriedly with a bright face.

Just as she was leaving the classroom, someone suddenly stood in front of her. It was the familiar mint scent.

When Sonnet looked up with a pleased face, Aiden naturally took Sonnet’s hand.

“Let’s go buy a dress to wear to the banquet.”

“A dress?”

“I wanted you to choose a dress you’d like to wear.”

“The dresses you chose were pretty too.”

Sonnet thought of the dresses Aiden had filled the closet with.

Aiden smiled and said,

“They suited you well, but I’m curious what kind of dress you’d like.”

Sonnet found those words somehow pleasant to hear. It seemed like he was respecting her opinion.

Sonnet left school with Aiden in a happy mood.

There weren’t many people passing by on Nodri Street. Mostly carriages were parked, and people would get off right in front of shops and enter.

This place had long been famous as a street with luxurious shops.

It was mainly a place frequented by upper nobles like Aiden, somewhere Sonnet couldn’t even dream of.

The carriage stopped in front of a white shop. Even from the outside, it looked like an expensive shop with white marble decorating the walls.

When Sonnet stared blankly, Aiden took Sonnet’s hand and naturally went inside.

Pleasant piano music played. The place had soft lighting that created a nice atmosphere.

“Welcome.”

The salesperson looked at Aiden with sparkling eyes.

“You came in person today?”

Aiden chuckled and turned to look at Sonnet.

“Sonnet wants to look at dresses she likes.”

Instantly, all eyes in the dress shop turned to Sonnet. Even the gazes of customers who had been casually browsing.

Sonnet’s cheeks flushed from the sudden attention.

“Please come this way.”

The salesperson guided Aiden and Sonnet to the inner area. It seemed like a special section reserved mainly for customers who spent a lot of money.
