#36

 

“Because I don’t want to be abandoned in this state.”

 

“….”

 

“I want him to get hurt as much as I did. I want him to know how someone like me feels when people use others that way.”

 

“Sonnet.”

 

“If it’s not me, he’ll always live like that, won’t he? Without even knowing how it feels.”

 

A moment of silence settled around them.

 

Tester already knew too. That people like us are nothing when we try to stand against Aiden.

 

Still, Sonnet wanted to show Aiden that sense of betrayal.

 

Maybe she was taking out all the emotions she’d felt in this place on Aiden, venting her anger, but Aiden was ultimately a person of that world too.

 

The type who uses others as they please and doesn’t even treat people like human beings.

 

Tester looked at Sonnet for a moment before asking.

 

“Will you really be okay?”

 

“….”

 

“Even if you’re the only one who gets hurt?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Even if Aiden doesn’t get hurt at all, Sonnet planned to reveal the truth at the Charity Gala. If she didn’t do at least that, she felt like she couldn’t bear the suffocating feeling in her heart.

 

Tester said nothing more. He sighed and looked ahead, then casually remarked.

 

“That’s why I told you not to get involved with him in the first place.”

 

A gentle breeze blew. Heat rose to Sonnet’s face, which had been set in a rigid expression. It was hot. Like the bubbling feelings in her heart.

 

***

 

Sonnet had been avoiding Aiden the whole time. Fortunately, he didn’t come looking for her often because of the Madou Matches, but whenever they occasionally ran into each other, she had to break out in a cold sweat.

 

Especially like now.

 

“Sonnet.”

 

Aiden must have just finished a Madou Match, as the hair that had fallen over his forehead was damp with sweat.

 

He stood right in front of her, blocking Sonnet from entering the Dormitory. Aiden, approaching with his pleasant mint scent, had quite an imposing build.

 

For a moment, everything in front of Sonnet went dark. It was evening now.

 

The sun was gradually setting, casting a reddish glow around them, and it was dark since the lanterns hadn’t been lit yet.

 

Aiden’s gaze was murky yet dark, and his staring eyes were so persistent they felt lustful.

 

Sonnet unconsciously tensed up. Her whole body’s hair stood on end because of his atmosphere.

 

“Have you eaten dinner?”

 

Though his tone was affectionate, his voice shrouded in darkness was unusually low. Sonnet roughly nodded her head while subtly avoiding his gaze.

 

Then Aiden gently placed his hand on Sonnet’s cheek. When Sonnet flinched and looked up, Aiden bent his upper body down.

 

At the moment their lips touched, Sonnet bit her lip. Aiden didn’t mind and tilted his head, sucking on Sonnet’s lips.

 

The hand on her cheek gained strength. He kept pulling her toward him. So that Sonnet wouldn’t dare escape from his grasp.

 

Aiden’s arm wrapped around Sonnet’s waist. Sonnet was almost buried against him. There was nowhere to run. Aiden had blocked her with his body from the start anyway.

 

Eventually, Sonnet parted her lips. Perhaps avoiding wasn’t the only solution.

 

She wanted to drag out time like this and completely end this relationship with Aiden at the Charity Gala. So until then, Sonnet had no choice but to go along with Aiden.

 

Aiden’s arm around her waist tightened. He held Sonnet closer and tilted his head.

 

The tongue that slid into Sonnet’s mouth was both soft and rough. After sucking powerfully as if wrapping around the root of her tongue, when he slightly parted their lips, their heated breaths mingled.

 

He wrapped around Sonnet’s tongue more deeply while pressing their lips together. Sonnet moved, fidgeting with her legs.

 

Aiden pressed his thighs closer while sucking on Sonnet’s lips. The sound of wet lips echoed blatantly in her ears as he deeply swallowed hot breaths.

 

Sonnet gradually felt her mind becoming hazy. The acts she’d shared with Aiden had already become a field of pleasure as her body had completely adapted. She should stop.

 

Even while thinking such thoughts in her head, the idea that this relationship was already decided until the Charity Gala anyway, so there was nothing to worry about, mixed in.

 

When Sonnet’s breathing was getting hotter, Aiden pulled away from her lips. He breathed roughly while looking down at Sonnet. Then when their eyes met, he smiled brightly and suddenly embraced Sonnet.

 

Sonnet’s heart was in turmoil.

 

‘This must all be acting too, right?’

 

While she was spacing out with only that thought, Aiden buried his face in Sonnet’s shoulder and said.

 

“I missed you.”

 

Sonnet didn’t answer right away. Aiden put more strength into his arms and held Sonnet.

 

“Didn’t you miss me?”

 

Aiden’s breath-mixed voice echoed in her ear. Sonnet finally came to her senses and answered.

 

“I missed you.”

 

“Then why did you avoid me?”

 

His words ended coldly. As if he was blaming Sonnet.

 

“And with Tester too.”

 

It was a suppressed voice, as if holding back anger.

 

Sonnet thought of what Tester had said. That if Aiden wanted, he would investigate everything to find out all the truth he wanted to know.

 

Anyway, Sonnet thought the best thing now was to soothe his feelings and opened her mouth.

 

“I’m done talking now. I won’t see Tester for a while either.”

 

If she said this, Tester would be safe too. He held Sonnet closer and said brightly.

 

“So now you’ll go around with me?”

 

Sonnet answered soullessly.

 

“Yeah.”

 

Aiden laughed happily. He leaned his face against Sonnet’s shoulder and slowly exhaled. It was a much more relaxed breath.

 

“Do you know how worried I was because you were avoiding me all this time?”

 

“….”

 

“I left you alone because you seemed very sensitive because of exams.”

 

A moment of silence fell. Aiden kissed Sonnet’s nape and then said.

 

“Don’t abandon me and leave like that anymore.”

 

His words sounded strangely plaintive. When Sonnet didn’t answer, Aiden pulled Sonnet’s waist closer to him and said.

 

“Got it?”

 

Aiden seemed to be particularly demanding an answer. Sonnet had no choice but to respond.

 

“Yeah.”

 

Aiden held Sonnet like that for a while. Even though people seemed to be glancing at them as they passed by, he didn’t even pay attention. As if only Sonnet and he existed in this world.

 

The sun had almost set. It was shaded now, so it wasn’t hot anymore. A cool breeze briefly ruffled Aiden’s hair and brushed past Sonnet’s forehead.

 

As always, there was the mint scent.

 

As soon as Sonnet smelled that scent, her heart ached.

 

‘I like him.’

 

Now it seemed like she couldn’t like him any more. It was sad. Because everything seemed to have an end.

 

Sonnet felt her heart becoming soft like tender leaves, so she hurriedly said.

 

“I should go now.”

 

Aiden stayed still for a moment, then slowly pulled away. Sonnet greeted Aiden and hurriedly turned around. Just as she was about to open the Dormitory Door.

 

“Sonnet.”

 

When Sonnet flinched and turned her head, Aiden looked straight at Sonnet and said.

 

“Wasn’t it fun at our Manor?”

 

At the sudden words, Sonnet looked at Aiden in confusion. Aiden took a step closer to Sonnet and said.

 

“Do you want to live together at our Manor?”

 

Aiden smiled expectantly. Sonnet looked at that face for a moment before opening her mouth.

 

“That would be difficult. It would be awkward if people around us started talking.”

 

“If people talk, I can make them stop.”

 

When Sonnet looked flustered, Aiden laughed lightly.

 

“If I control the people around us, rumors won’t spread. And Father went to Jart Island recently and won’t be back for a while.”

 

“Still, that seems a bit difficult.”

 

Aiden looked at Sonnet without any trace of laughter. As if trying to figure out the reason from her face.

 

Sonnet gave an awkward smile and opened her mouth.

 

“I’ll go ahead.”

 

Sonnet rushed into the dormitory like an arrow. She quickly climbed the stairs as if someone was chasing her.

 

‘What on earth is he thinking?’

 

Aiden had acted as if he truly thought they were in a serious romantic relationship. Was there really a need to act to such an extent?

 

Sonnet headed to her room with a hardened expression.

 

The next day, Sonnet woke up earlier than usual and left the dormitory. Several people had gathered in front of the bulletin board, bustling about.

 

Today was the day exam results were announced. Sonnet roughly pushed through them as usual and only looked at the bulletin board.

 

Strangely, a path formed around Sonnet. When Sonnet looked around, people stepped aside for her and just watched.

 

Sonnet was somewhat bewildered by the drastically changed attitude of those around her. Normally, they would have glared at her while cursing loud enough for everyone to hear.

 

But they naturally stepped aside for Sonnet. As if they had to.
