“Yosiyas! I’m throwing it! Catch it well!”

“Hyung. I’m ready!”

Crash!

The ball Filippo threw broke the corridor window when Yosiyas twisted his foot.

“Filippoooo―! Yosiyasss―!”

“Gasp. Let’s run!”

When Mother’s thunderous roar was heard, the twins abandoned the ball and quickly ran away to the neighborhood playground.

Regina gave Edgar, who cleaned up the broken window glass in their place, plenty of dinner food.

“It would be nice if they resembled Edgar, but I don’t know who they take after to be so reckless.”

“They certainly don’t take after Leo hyung.”

“Why. I’m just cute because I’m spirited.”

Emilia said while scraping up her pasta.

“No matter how much trouble those kids cause, they can’t beat Lilliana. She set newspaper on fire in the garden and even got the drug surveillance team dispatched.”

When Lilliana’s story came up, Edgar reflexively flinched.

He missed the slender hand that fit perfectly in his own.

Leopold, who didn’t know the two had fought, asked about her situation.

“Come to think of it, how is my youngest sister-in-law doing?”

“She seems to be having a hard time preparing for her graduation presentation. She was crying terribly a few days ago. Something must have happened at school… Edgar, do you know anything?”

“I’m not sure.”

She cried? His legs trembled under the table.

Even if he wanted Lilliana to be jealous, he didn’t want her to cry.

Were his words too harsh that day? But for me, it was something worth saying…

‘I keep doing this, so only I’m getting more hurt. Get it together. Focus!’

Edgar pretended to be fine and chewed his meat.

“And she fought with Antonio, so the two won’t even make eye contact.”

“Aren’t you mistaken?”

“Not Edgar and Antonio, but those two fought?”

“I’m sure. They went to school separately this morning.”

He couldn’t taste the meat at all. Edgar was regretting his choice to come to Leopold’s house.

He had fled to avoid thinking about Lilliana, but instead ended up in the tiger’s den. But Antonio, is that guy okay?

“Is it because they went to Fantasy Park without Antonio?”

“Fantasy Park?”

“On the weekend, her older brother took the twins to Fantasy Park.”

“She went with Andrea?”

“She’s been singing about wanting to go for a month, so I know they went together. Don’t people your age go there a lot for dates? Edgar, I know you’re busy, but couldn’t you make some time.”

“Ah! Leo. Lilliana said not to tell anyone she’s embarrassed about going to a date spot with her siblings. You can keep it secret, right?”

“Huh? Yes, yes…”

It was Andrea, not Damiano? And if she went with the twins… it was certainly embarrassing enough to hide.

Edgar’s hands holding the cup trembled, not just his legs. Water spilled and dripped onto the table.

He’d been busy with work lately, but not so much that dating would be difficult. Without even knowing that…

‘And I didn’t even apologize.’

Edgar suppressed the urge to bury his face in the table and ended up putting down his knife after eating less than half his usual amount.

‘I should at least meet Antonio and discuss…’

But with less than a week until the presentation, it was obvious there wouldn’t be time to see each other.

“Hyung. Hit me on the back of the head so I wake up in a week.”

“You’ve gotten much more humorous since coming to Trowance.”

Unfortunately, it was a serious statement with 105% sincerity mixed in.

* * *

Currently, the school was divided into two factions.

“Antonio is ridiculous. When did he stop being wary of us for being close with Lilliana, only to stab her in the back?”

“Exactly. Poor Lilliana. She got backstabbed by a friend she trusted.”

“If he planned to keep seeing Lilliana, he shouldn’t have confessed and acted desperately! We should punish Antonio ourselves!”

“Right! Lilliana is gentle, so she’ll probably just grab him by the collar and knock him down!”

The anti-Antonio faction.

“It’s not like he stole her boyfriend, he just confessed. From Antonio’s perspective, he liked his friend’s boyfriend, so he must have suffered a lot mentally.”

“With his personality, he must have tried so hard not to show it to Lilliana. He acted so desperately because he couldn’t control his own feelings.”

And the pro-Antonio faction.

In other words, the Lilliana faction and Antonio faction had formed.

Thanks to this, Lilliana received her friends’ support without knowing why.

“Lilliana. I’m on your side.”

“Huh?”

“Tell Antonio to maintain proper ethics. Fighting!”

There were many cases where she received comfort along with armfuls of snacks.

“Things didn’t work out with Damiano. Then how about a red-haired guy? I know many handsome red-haired guys.”

“I have a boyfriend. What are you talking about.”

“If you want, I’ll introduce you to anyone. Oh. Eat this. It’ll cheer you up.”

“Allen said the same thing to me yesterday…”

There were also overflowing offers to introduce her to good male students.

The parties involved, who didn’t know what rumors were circulating behind them, could only be bewildered.

And Antonio was backing away in the practice room.

“You guys are acting strange? Why do you keep glaring at me. Aren’t we doing the final rehearsal?”

“Antonio! You shouldn’t act like that! When were you jealous of me and Lilliana!”

“Is this because I fought with her? I did wrong, but what does that have to do with you guys.”

“What? Are you kidding?”

When Gemma crossed her arms and pressured him from the front, Antonio was overwhelmed by her momentum and unconsciously stepped back.

“You better sort out your feelings properly. Even if Lilliana doesn’t know, we’ll never let this slide.”

“No, so what does this have to do with you guys? And what do you mean sort out my feelings?”

“I could tear all that guy’s hair out.”

“Hold back, Natalia.”

Then the teacher appeared and clapped to gather attention.

“Everyone focus! Today is the final rehearsal, so think of it as the actual performance and do it properly!”

Soon the rehearsal began.

In the play, Lilliana and Antonio were best friends.

Having never eaten a meal together since their fight, it was torture to face each other and act.

‘Honestly, Lilliana should apologize too. Her words were harsh that day.’

But he knew his own fault well, more than Lilliana’s mistake.

‘I decided to help Edgar because he’s the only guy I approve of, there was no other intention…’

Rather than watching her meet some other unworthy guy, it was better for her to do well with someone he acknowledged.

Still, since this side was wrong, he should apologize first.

However, it seemed like today wasn’t that moment.

“I’ll stay here for just one night.”

Since tomorrow was Sunday, he didn’t have confidence to spend the entire weekend seeing her face.

So Antonio went straight to Edgar’s house.

Edgar lived in a two-room multi-family house.

He wondered if someone with so much money should live so frugally, but it seemed like Edgar.

“Hey. It’s me. Open the door.”

Click. The door opened and a large hand grabbed Antonio by the collar, dragging him inside.

“What a warm welcome.”

“You went to Fantasy Park with the twins! I didn’t even know that and just said weird things. Listen carefully. You came all the way to a foreign country just to see Liliana. It’s not strange that I’d feel hurt, right?”

“Take, take a breath before you speak.”

“The problem is that even though I’m hurt, I only think about apologizing first and making up quickly! I’m dying because I can’t see Lilliana. Work isn’t going well, I can’t sleep, and when I go to work I just bump into things everywhere… Today I almost told the Marquis that he’s shameless for taking his salary while working like that! What the hell is this supposed to be?”

“Uh, uhh…”

When Edgar groaned, Antonio awkwardly patted his shoulder.

“Well, you know. I’m thinking of going to Gemma or Natalia tomorrow to ask them to help you make up with Liliana. Want to come with me?”

“You should be finding these things out quickly! Why are you making me figure it out!”

Instead of answering, Edgar started hitting Antonio with the sofa cushion.

“Ack! Hey, I’m in a position where I need comfort too! Don’t hit me!!”

“I’m an idiot for trusting you!”

“I even played spy for you, which isn’t in my nature, and you’re being harsh!”

“What? Spit out all that chocolate you ate! And you call yourself a friend… Ugh!”

Edgar only stopped hitting Antonio after the sofa cushion burst, then flopped down on the floor.

Sniffling sounds came from Edgar.

“Why, what’s wrong. Are, are you crying?”

“I’m not crying! But I think I’m really whipped by Lilliana. No matter how much I think about it, I only remember being led around by Liliana my whole life.”

“Our Liliana is pretty amazing.”

Antonio proudly rubbed under his nose.

I should throw a punch instead of the cushion… Edgar gritted his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut.

If it’s like this now, how will I live when she joins the troupe and becomes a famous actress…

Edgar, feeling a bit depressed, realized once again.

The fact that in love, the one who loves more loses and gives in.
