“It’s family business.”

 

“….”

 

“I have things to discuss with him too.”

 

Aiden stared intensely into Sonnet’s eyes as he asked.

 

“Is this something I shouldn’t be involved in?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Aiden looked at Sonnet with hardened eyes. Sonnet took another step back and said.

 

“I’ll go ahead.”

 

Worried that Aiden might grab her, she quickly entered the dormitory.

 

She felt like she needed to go to Tester immediately tomorrow and tell him about Aiden.

 

Before any unnecessary trouble arose.

 

***

 

There were no classes for a week after the exams ended.

 

Sonnet woke up earlier than usual and headed toward the Male Dormitory.

 

Since she had spoken to Aiden, she needed to tell Tester as well. Everything, including his ulterior motives that she had discovered.

 

‘I should have listened to Tester from the start.’

 

She thought Aiden would be different.

 

But in the end, Aiden was also the type of person Sonnet despised. The arrogant ruling class who don’t even treat people as human if they have poor backgrounds and low status, manipulating them as they please.

 

Aiden pretends to be a decent person on the surface, but ultimately he too only uses people like Sonnet as objects.

 

Sonnet roughly wiped the sweat from her forehead. As she entered the Male Dormitory and looked around, people around her glanced at her.

 

Ignoring the pouring gazes, Sonnet went to the front of the Dormitory Supervisor’s Office.

 

The room, visible through glass, was similar to the Women’s Dormitory supervisor’s office. As soon as Sonnet made eye contact with the supervisor, she asked.

 

“Could you call Tester for me?”

 

The supervisor hurriedly nodded.

 

“Wait just a moment, dear.”

 

The supervisor immediately left the room. It was quite a kind attitude. Very different from the attitude Sonnet had seen before.

 

‘Still because I’m associated with Aiden.’

 

Being close to Aiden was definitely beneficial at this school. That’s why everyone was desperate to be friendly with Aiden. Many girls had confessed to him, trying to get involved with him.

 

Thinking about this fact made Sonnet’s mouth taste bitter. She thought things with Aiden were almost over, but whether some regret remained, her heart kept wavering.

 

‘Aiden, that apple pie.’

 

Sonnet deliberately cursed Aiden. It was all because of Aiden. Of course, Sonnet had made the fake confession first, but she never expected Aiden to accept the confession so readily.

 

As she stood there lamenting even the past.

 

The surroundings became noisy.

 

When Sonnet hurriedly looked up, a familiar person was coming down the stairs with several others. Behind them, she could see Tester walking carefully.

 

Just as Sonnet was about to go to Tester, the group in front stopped. Aiden, who was at the front, blocked Sonnet’s path.

 

“Sonnet, what brings you here?”

 

Sonnet hesitated and looked up at Aiden. He had his hair down and was dressed casually.

 

He was carrying a long rod on his shoulder, seemingly going to Madou Matches practice.

 

Aiden smiled and held out a box he was carrying to Sonnet.

 

“I was actually going to come see you.”

 

When Sonnet looked at it wondering what it was, Aiden said.

 

“I went to the restaurant yesterday and thought of you.”

 

“….”

 

“Carrot soup and cookies made with carrots.”

 

Really, there was no need to go this far.

 

When Sonnet didn’t take the box, gazes poured from around them.

 

Aiden also looked down at Sonnet’s face obliquely, staring intently. Under the strange pressure, Sonnet had no choice but to take the box.

 

Aiden smiled broadly and said.

 

“I have Madou Matches practice today, so I can’t be with you.”

 

“….”

 

“I was going to tell you while we had dinner yesterday, but you said you had something urgent with Tester.”

 

There was murmuring from around them.

 

“Aiden, so you went there alone? I heard it’s extremely difficult to make reservations there.”

 

Aiden only smiled while looking at Sonnet, not answering. Sonnet’s heart grew heavy.

 

‘Why does he treat me so sincerely while using me?’

 

Sonnet didn’t like Aiden’s attitude. Tester was already watching nervously from behind the group.

 

Wanting to escape this situation, Sonnet said simply.

 

“I have something to discuss with Tester, so I’ll go first.”

 

Sonnet passed by them first. Aiden’s expression turned cold instantly. He followed Sonnet with his eyes, not letting his gaze leave her.

 

Sonnet’s back felt hot, but she approached Tester. He was watching this situation from a corner up the stairs. With a restless expression.

 

As soon as Sonnet got close to Tester, she said.

 

“I have something to tell you.”

 

As soon as Tester faced Sonnet, he said almost tearfully.

 

“Hey, because of you I’ve been….”

 

“Let’s talk somewhere else.”

 

Sonnet came down the stairs with Tester. Aiden still hadn’t left that spot and only looked at Sonnet. The people around him also stopped and stared since Aiden wasn’t moving.

 

One of the group stared at Sonnet intently and said. It was Gales.

 

“Did she always look like that?”

 

Usually Sonnet didn’t properly comb her hair and always wore the same black dress. Sonnet now looked very different from usual.

 

The red hair fluttering behind her black dress particularly caught Gales’s attention. He had just been disgusted and barely looked at her face, but Sonnet’s face was subtly eye-catching.

 

Aiden couldn’t hear whatever Gales was saying. His blood was boiling. Especially seeing Sonnet leave with Tester without caring about him made him feel like he had lost to someone like Tester.

 

Aiden gritted his teeth and roughly left the dormitory.

 

Sonnet left the Male Dormitory and kept walking in the direction opposite to Madu Stadium. At a distance where she wouldn’t encounter Aiden anymore, Sonnet stopped in front of a large tree.

 

Right next to the Research Building, where regular students rarely passed by, there was a nice wooden chair to sit on.

 

Sonnet sat on the chair. Tester didn’t even sit down and opened his mouth.

 

“Do you know how much I’ve suffered because of you?”

 

“Did Aiden bother you?”

 

“Hey, if I tell you this, you should be grateful to me for life.”

 

“What did Aiden do?”

 

“He suddenly came to me asking what was going on, but how can I tell him when I don’t even know?”

 

Sonnet felt her whole body tense up. She didn’t expect Aiden to go straight to Tester.

 

“What did you say?”

 

“Looking at Aiden’s eyes, he was being wary of me as if I was some obstacle between you two. I just made something up since it seemed like you had said something.”

 

“What did you say?”

 

“About your mother’s business. At least I had mentioned that on the Day of Grain God’s Blessing.”

 

Her heart, which had been racing with tension, suddenly calmed down.

 

“Thank you.”

 

The words came out sincerely. Tester sat down next to her and looked at Sonnet.

 

“Something did happen between you and him, right?”

 

“Aiden was trying to use me to break off his engagement with his fiancée.”

 

Tester’s brow furrowed sharply and he let out an intense breath.

 

“I knew it would be like that.”

 

“….”

 

“I told you. Don’t get involved with him.”

 

She had nothing to say. She thought Aiden would be different. When Sonnet remained silent, Tester frowned as if frustrated and said.

 

“What are you going to do from now on?”

 

“Just know that for the time being, you’ll be in a situation where you need to discuss things with me and mom.”

 

“What if he starts investigating in earnest?”

 

Sonnet felt frustrated. Tester continued speaking without giving Sonnet a chance to respond.

 

“You haven’t forgotten he’s from the Rosefield Family, right? He can investigate your family and surroundings anytime, and then he’ll know you lied, and even that you…”

 

“I’m going to reveal everything at the charity gala.”

 

Tester looked at Sonnet as if he had lost his words. He asked with an incredulous expression.

 

“The charity gala?”

 

“I agreed to go there with Aiden.”

 

“You’re really going there?”

 

“Since he used me, I want to pay him back in kind.”

 

“If you get more entangled, only you’ll be in danger. Just reveal everything now…”

 

“We’re bound to break up anyway. Since we’re in a relationship where we deceived each other, I think that’s the right way to end it.”

 

Tester looked into Sonnet’s eyes and shook his head.

 

“Even though you seem to have changed, why do you remain unchanged in this way? If you know Aiden is that kind of person, you should be scared and avoid him, so why do you insist on…”

 

Sonnet suddenly felt a surge of emotion. She opened her mouth while trying hard to hold back tears.

 

“He said I was different from other girls. And he said he liked me because I was selfish.”

 

“That’s…”

 

“I know, that’s exactly why it was easier for him to use me.”

 

“If you know that, then why are you trying to have a showdown with him?”
