#8

Actually, she had been curious about this for a while. It was also the question that filled Sonnet’s mind completely until coming to this classroom.

Aiden met Sonnet’s eyes and said affectionately.

“Because you’re selfish.”

At the unexpected answer, Sonnet’s eyes widened.

Aiden looked at her and smiled strangely. His gaze became oddly more vivid.

“And you don’t care about others.”

Sonnet was flustered and couldn’t speak right away.

Normal people would have disliked Sonnet for being like that. That’s why everyone stayed away from her.

Sonnet couldn’t believe it and asked again.

“You really like me because I don’t care about others and am selfish?”

“Yeah.”

Aiden raised the corner of his handsome mouth.

Sonnet stared at Aiden blankly. It was strange that he accepted her confession immediately, but his reason for liking her was also peculiar.

‘Since he has a lot, maybe he’s not attracted to things that are common around him and is more drawn to unusual things?’

She felt like she had been thoroughly marked by a strange person.

But to break up right away would hurt her pride since she hadn’t even started the plan she had carefully established.

The water had already been spilled to admit she had thought wrong.

She hadn’t discovered even a single secret of Aiden, who always ranked first, and far from interfering with Aiden, she felt she had only wasted precious time and couldn’t retreat like this.

Sonnet thought only of first place and stared intently at the photo materials in front of her.

She could feel Aiden’s gaze watching her from the side, but this time she didn’t waver.

While she was looking at the character arrangement in the ancient documents discovered in the temple, the whispering sounds from around her gradually grew louder and reached Sonnet’s ears.

“Isn’t she even ashamed? A commoner, no less.”

“Since her studies are inferior to Aiden’s, she’s probably staying next to him to leech off him somehow.”

Sonnet turned around with fierce eyes.

The group that Delr belonged to usually looked down on Sonnet. Among them, Delr especially showed her dislike for Sonnet.

But Sonnet didn’t stay quiet either. Just as she was thinking about how to say something back, a long pen flew toward Delr’s shoulder.

At the sudden situation, Delr widened her eyes and turned her head toward the direction the pen came from. And she was even more surprised and froze in place.

Because it was none other than Aiden who had thrown the pen.

Aiden said in a low voice with no trace of a smile.

“The pen accidentally went in your direction.”

“….”

“Pick up the pen for me.”

Though it wasn’t an emphasizing tone, his voice had a strangely arrogant edge to it.

It was a cold voice on a completely different level from what he had said to her just moments ago.

Sonnet looked at Aiden with unfamiliarity at his distinctly different cold demeanor from when he was with her.

When Delr also just stared with a bewildered expression, Aiden gazed at her intently and said once more.

“Won’t you pick it up?”

At the coldly chilled voice, Delr was startled and hurriedly bent down to look for the pen.

She fumbled around and searched the area for quite a while, but Delr couldn’t find the pen easily.

Aiden watched that scene without missing a single detail.

After some time passed, Delr said with a trembling voice.

“I’ll do it later….”

“Never mind. It’s unpleasant to have something touched by kids like you.”

“What you said earlier….”

Aiden smirked.

“Why do you talk like that when you know Sonnet and I are dating?”

“….”

“And so loudly too.”

The smile completely disappeared from Aiden’s face. At his cold gaze, Delr hurriedly said.

“S-sorry. I….”

“You should apologize to Sonnet too. Her ears must have been dirtied by your voice.”

Delr urgently looked at Sonnet and opened her mouth.

“Sonnet, I’m sorry. What I said earlier was really thoughtless of me. Sorry.”

Sonnet turned her head to look forward. Aiden lowered his head and put his lips to her ear.

“Are you okay?”

Along with the fragrant mint scent, she felt his breath on her neck.

Sonnet flinched inwardly but nodded as if nothing happened. While deliberately looking at Aiden.

Aiden smiled brightly and looked forward.

Sonnet felt strange inside. In the past, she always had to fight alone in situations like this.

Of course, living like that wasn’t lonely, but having someone fight for her from the side felt comfortable and reassuring.

‘Is this why people date?’

Sonnet glanced to the side. Aiden was reading a weapons book even in the dark. The open book was filled with sharp silver blades.

In the past, she would have mocked him, but now no mockery came out.

Aiden just seemed a little impressive. Even though he got good grades, he read books like this too.

As soon as she had that thought, Sonnet turned her head to look forward. Her eyebrows furrowed for a moment.

‘At this rate, I’ll be charmed by Aiden before I can become first place.’

Sonnet thought only of first place and didn’t give Aiden any more glances.

When her eyes became bloodshot and gradually painful, the surroundings brightened.

Sonnet let out a sigh of relief and got up from her seat.

Now the audiovisual lecture was over, and after eating lunch, today’s classes would be finished.

In other words, she didn’t have to stick with Aiden anymore.

Sonnet hurriedly got up from her seat. Just as she was grabbing her bag.

“Where do you want to eat lunch?”

“Huh?”

“We should eat lunch together.”

Sonnet wondered what this was all about while holding her bag.

When men and women date, do they originally eat lunch together like this and stay together all the time?

While Sonnet was lost in thought, Aiden said.

“Aren’t you going to eat?”

“No, I should eat.”

Sonnet followed Aiden as if enchanted. As soon as he left the classroom, he turned around and stood in front of Sonnet.

“I heard the grilled carrot sandwich at the Student Cafeteria is delicious. Have you tried it?”

“No.”

Aiden smiled brightly and took Sonnet’s hand. It was natural enough by now.

“Then let’s go eat that.”

Sonnet couldn’t refuse and headed to the Student Cafeteria with Aiden. The Student Cafeteria was already bustling with students.

“Wait here for a moment.”

Aiden left his bag with Sonnet and went to place an order. Looking around, there were no seats available.

Usually, Sonnet didn’t eat food at the Student Cafeteria.

She would buy a carrot sandwich from the sandwich shop in front of the school and then sit on a nearby bench to eat.

First of all, the Student Cafeteria was always crowded and noisy during lunch time, making it feel like their own world.

Aiden seemed to meet friends he knew and chatted with the kids who gathered around while waiting for his order.

He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and talked, looking very relaxed even in this chaotic atmosphere.

Then the order came out and Aiden greeted them before bringing the sandwiches. As soon as Aiden came to Sonnet, he said.

“Let’s eat in front of Dalrent Lake.”

“The lake?”

“Or do you want to eat here?”

“Aren’t there no seats?”

“I do have a designated place where I sit.”

Aiden gestured toward a door near the ordering counter. To think there was even a separate dining room.

Since she hadn’t thought of this at all, Sonnet found Aiden unfamiliar yet somehow thought it was only natural.

“Want to go there?”

Aiden observed Sonnet’s reaction. Sonnet shook her head.

Being alone with Aiden in a room would be worse than staying in the open space in front of the wide lake.

When she was alone with Aiden, she felt like she was being enchanted without realizing it.

Aiden extended one arm.

“Give me your bag.”

When Sonnet handed over her bag, Aiden lightly took it. His other hand still held the two sandwiches.

When Sonnet tried to take the sandwiches, Aiden lifted his arm slightly upward.

“I’ll carry them.”

He gave Sonnet an eye smile before leaving the Student Cafeteria.

As they headed to Dalrent Lake, many people greeted Aiden warmly.

Aiden treated people in a way that matched his good reputation. Unlike how he had dealt with Delr in the audiovisual room earlier.

Sonnet narrowed her eyes as she followed Aiden.

‘Is he really sincere?’

No matter how much she liked people who were selfish and didn’t care about others, Sonnet couldn’t understand why Aiden would like her.

‘He must really have some ulterior motive, right?’

Sonnet followed Aiden, thinking he must have some ulterior motive.

Dalrent Lake was a famous attraction of Rosefield. It was such a beautiful and romantic place that even tourists came here specifically to see this lake.
