#45

 

She had pushed away the most important moment while thinking about a future that might never come. She had also unintentionally hurt Aiden.

 

Just as Aiden was about to get up, Sonnet quickly grabbed his hand, stood up, and pressed her lips to his cheek.

 

Aiden paused, then captured Sonnet’s lips with his own. Their hurried breaths touching felt so familiar.

 

Aiden cupped Sonnet’s cheek with one hand while deeply drawing in her tongue.

 

Sonnet wrapped her arms around Aiden’s neck, accepting his rough breathing.

 

Aiden pulled Sonnet’s waist closer to him, kissing her more deeply before slowly pulling away.

 

He touched his nose to Sonnet’s, breathing for a moment before reluctantly taking her hand.

 

“I’ll go.”

 

Sonnet nodded and smiled.

 

Aiden looked down at Sonnet’s hand for a moment, then kissed the back of it before stepping away. Even as he left his seat, he turned back to check on Sonnet.

 

Sonnet smiled at him, and when Aiden was no longer visible, she sat down.

 

The seat was similar to where Aiden had given her arena tickets before, but unlike the tickets Gales had given her, this one offered a much better view of the arena.

 

There was no one around her. As if it was a seat meant for only one person.

 

Just then, the sound of a massive horn trumpet rang out. It seemed the match had been delayed about an hour because Aiden hadn’t come.

 

As soon as Aiden appeared, ear-splitting cheers erupted throughout the arena.

 

Aiden looked around with a bright smile, then gazed at Sonnet for a long moment. Sonnet met his eyes and smiled.

 

Dressed in his competition uniform, he stood out more than anyone and suited the summer sunlight well.

 

Soon the match began.

 

Unlike usual, Aiden roughly pushed through his surroundings as he advanced. He powerfully hit the ball flying toward him, driving it toward the goal.

 

As the ball easily entered the goal, the surroundings filled with cheers.

 

Aiden immediately looked toward where Sonnet was. Sonnet smiled brightly. Aiden turned his head with a smiling face and resumed the match.

 

Many people swarmed around him, but he roughly knocked people away with his mallet or used his horse to drive several people back, making them fall.

 

The other team waved their hands, claiming it was a foul. Soon, booing chants toward the opposing side rang out. The referee examined the situation as Aiden protested, confronting the opposing player.

 

When Aiden roughly spoke while bumping shoulders, the opposing player backed down and spoke to the referee.

 

The referee checked the surroundings, then pointed his arms to both sides before stepping back. Aiden skillfully mounted his horse. He gripped the reins and naturally turned the horse’s head as he started the match.

 

His horse quickly advanced toward the goal. Aiden drove the ball with his long mallet. He pretended to let the opposing player steal it, then pulled it back to himself while roughly swinging his mallet.

 

The surroundings erupted in cheers as people jumped up and down.

 

Like that, Aiden led the match almost single-handedly, scoring goals. Each time, Aiden would look for Sonnet and smile.

 

Sonnet naturally smiled back as she watched Aiden.

 

The match ended in an instant. Rosefield Academy, which Aiden belonged to, had scored so many points that there was no comparison with their opponents.

 

As soon as the match ended, Aiden ran toward where Sonnet was.

 

The moment Sonnet moved forward, Aiden pulled the back of Sonnet’s head and kissed her lips. Massive cheers erupted from the surroundings.

 

The area flashed with light and was completely chaotic. Even so, Sonnet couldn’t forget Aiden’s breath. It was hot and suffocating. Like the heat of midsummer.

 

The next day, Sonnet saw people crowded in front of the dormitory bulletin board and approached. The people around her stepped aside when they saw Sonnet.

 

Looking at the bulletin board, there was a simple announcement written there.

 

[Notice: Gales has been expelled for bullying fellow students.]

 

People around were commenting about Gales, but it wasn’t particularly good reputation.

 

“Delr used to hang around with Gales too, and it seems like he got in trouble as well. I heard he transferred schools this time?”

 

“Well, he had a lot of problems too. He was always going around badmouthing others.”

 

Indeed, people didn’t seem to change easily. Sonnet didn’t think about it more deeply and turned around. It was because of the familiar mint scent.

 

Aiden came close to Sonnet and naturally wrapped his arm around her waist. He smiled at Sonnet and gestured toward the bulletin board with his chin.

 

“How is it?”

 

“It’s an excellent measure.”

 

Aiden chuckled and kissed Sonnet’s forehead.

 

Sonnet leaned against Aiden’s body and laughed. Now, just having Aiden by her side made her smile naturally like Aiden did.

 

He naturally led Sonnet while asking.

 

“Is there anything else you need?”

 

Sonnet shook her head.

 

Aiden looked down at Sonnet for a moment, then smiled happily. His face was full of happiness.

 

As Sonnet couldn’t take her eyes off him, he bent his upper body slightly and said.

 

“Let’s have breakfast together today.”

 

Aiden knew better than anyone that Sonnet usually didn’t eat breakfast. Sonnet asked again, puzzled.

 

“Breakfast?”

 

“Because I want to eat with you.”

 

Sonnet nodded lightly. Aiden’s face was full of smiles as if something good had happened.

 

Sonnet followed him with subtle anticipation.

 

The place Aiden took her to was the one he had mentioned before. She had definitely refused at first because she didn’t want to be alone with him, but now she naturally went inside.

 

The room inside the student cafeteria was larger than expected. On the large dining table, quite a generous amount of food was prepared, so Sonnet looked around curiously without even sitting down.

 

Aiden sat across from her and said.

 

“If it’s not enough, tell me. I’ll bring more.”

 

“I don’t think there’s anything lacking.”

 

There was more food than she usually ate. There were many varieties too. Seeing the generous spread, Sonnet somehow felt drawn to reach for it.

 

‘I usually don’t eat breakfast.’

 

It looked so delicious that she started with the sweet pumpkin soup, and the sweet yet savory taste was exquisite.

 

As Sonnet’s face brightened, Aiden watched with a subtle smile. From then on, Sonnet’s hands moved quickly.

 

“If I had known this would happen, I should have had breakfast with you.”

 

Sonnet momentarily looked up and met Aiden’s eyes. Sonnet smiled awkwardly, but his bowl was empty.

 

“Aren’t you eating? You said you didn’t have breakfast either.”

 

“Right now, watching you is more precious than breakfast.”

 

Sonnet smiled lightly and ate her soup.

 

“Anyway, we’ll keep being together…”

 

“Sonnet.”

 

At the low, sinking voice, Sonnet suddenly felt anxious. Was something wrong? Come to think of it, it was strange. Asking to have breakfast together when she usually didn’t even eat it.

 

As Sonnet looked puzzled, Aiden calmly opened his mouth.

 

“I’m going to the military academy the day after tomorrow.”

 

His tone was confident yet powerful.

 

Sonnet felt suffocated as if a stone had been placed on her heart. Just when she thought she could be happy with Aiden without any misunderstandings, he was leaving.

 

As Sonnet couldn’t easily speak, Aiden gently smiled.

 

“I’ll come often.”

 

Sonnet hesitated for a moment before speaking.

 

“So you’ll be at that military academy until I graduate?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Sonnet couldn’t look at him directly, then slowly raised her head.

 

“This was planned from the beginning, wasn’t it?”

 

Aiden nodded lightly. Then there was nothing she could do about it. It was Aiden’s dream from the beginning.

 

Sonnet deliberately smiled.

 

“Come often. I’ll visit you sometimes too.”

 

He smiled brightly as if pleased.

 

“You’ll come too?”

 

“I’m curious about what kind of place you’re going to.”

 

“Then do you want to go see it now? There are no lectures today anyway.”

 

Originally, there were no lectures for a day after a big Madou match ended.

 

Since Sonnet had nothing to do, she nodded. Aiden’s expression became much brighter than before.

 

After finishing their satisfying meal, Aiden left the student cafeteria with Sonnet.

 

Outside, a black carriage was already prepared.

 

‘Had he been planning this already?’

 

Seeing how thoroughly he had prepared, it seemed likely.

 

Then Aiden opened the carriage door for her. As Sonnet got into the carriage, Aiden followed, and she noticed something glinting in his shirt pocket.

 

As soon as he sat down, Aiden smiled and looked at Sonnet. His gaze was particularly piercing, making Sonnet ask curiously.

 

“What?”

 

Aiden raised the corners of his mouth and said.

 

“I think you and emerald would go well together.”

 

“Emerald?”

 

Aiden only gave a handsome smile without answering.
