INICIAR SESIÓNJiyya truly had no idea whether she had made the right decision this time. The last time they had touched each other, and it was an experience Jiyya still could not forget to this day. Yet it seemed that the situation now might bring her an experience that would be even harder for her to forget, simply because she had unconsciously and so casually said ‘yes’ to the young lecturer’s invitation instead of refusing as she should have.Jiyya felt a little nervous, but at the same time, she was also afraid. At this point, all Jiyya could do was watch nervously as the man took something out of his wallet. A small plastic packet that Jiyya seemed to recognize, even though she had never used one before. A condom. Had the man actually prepared it beforehand? Had he thought that Jiyya would say yes, and therefore kept one in his wallet just in case? Men really were dangerous creatures. Older, the same age, or even younger, they essentially seemed to have an instinct for hunting.“Just as I thou
“I can’t be with you, Sir.” The girl spoke from within Joan’s tight embrace.“I’m sure I still love the same person for now. I feel guilty every time I think about him while I’m with you,” she continued.“From the beginning, we were never attracted to each other. Perhaps the same was true for you. Sir Joan happened to touch my body once, and that made you curious because you haven’t taken my innocence. This isn’t love. As far as I know, I don’t love you either.”Joan was genuinely angry at fate. Why did it have to be like this? He felt that he had done everything he could to capture this girl’s attention. He had become someone who was always there for her, a faithful listener to her stories, a mentor who helped her pursue her dreams, someone willing to be there whenever she needed him, especially when she felt lonely.“You’ve always been beautiful in my eyes, Jiyya. Maybe it’s true that there were times when we misunderstood things and took the wrong path. But that wasn’t the first ti
For Joan, the life he had was beginning to feel like a comedy show. He did not know how he was supposed to react, whether he should laugh or simply act as though everything were normal, because everything had become so monotonous that there was no longer any excitement in it. Everything felt natural now. Joan had grown accustomed to things unfolding the way they did whenever he put each piece of a puzzle together until it finally formed a complete picture. His life had never felt complete, not even for a single day.But at the very least, he wanted to see something through. To hold on to something that had always felt perfect, beautiful, thrilling, enjoyable, and painful all at once.The beginning of this story, without any formal introduction or even the usual small talk about names, had marked the first point on the line of romance between Joan and his sweet student. Joan had once identified what he felt for Jiyya as love at first sight. It was actually a rather strange way for some
There was something almost amusing about Jiyya’s situation. She had tried to keep herself busy so she would not have to deal with Sir Joan, yet the universe kept sending the man into her orbit through a series of coincidences. There were countless places they could have gone, but every encounter with Sir Joan felt almost deliberately arranged, as though even running away was not enough for Jiyya to escape him. Once again, the man had trapped her. This time, with an entirely different problem. He reminded Jiyya of Bestian. He ensnared her with an unusual kind of physical closeness, yet somehow, it helped her forget, at least for a while.Jiyya had always been vulnerable whenever she heard Bestian’s name. Especially when it came from a stranger she had never even met before. It felt strange hearing someone else speak badly of Bestian. And it was foolish of her to always instinctively defend a man who might no longer care about her at all. Even so, there was nothing she could do to stop
Ah, right. Jiyya was right. Why had she made the situation even more complicated? Why was she still able to remember that dark period so clearly? Jiyya felt embarrassed by the way she had behaved back then. As a result, she grew flustered and slightly panicked.Sir Joan chuckled again. “Jiyya always looks cute when she panics,” he said lightly.Jiyya cleared her throat and straightened her head, then finally found the courage to push the man’s shoulder away from her.“Is that supposed to be comforting for you? Sir Joan seems to be in a pretty good mood now.”“I suppose so.” The man nodded. “It would be better if you became my empress.”Jiyya gasped. The thought had never crossed her mind at all, or perhaps the sheer absurdity of the way he had said it caught her completely off guard. Was he trying to turn this into some kind of drama?“I’m not suited for a role like that,” Jiyya said softly as she slowly began stepping out of the young lecturer’s car. She had only just remembered some
“Why are you treating me like this, Sir Joan?”After deciding that the silence was only making the atmosphere between them more awkward, Jiyya finally spoke.“Like what?”“Like carrying me and taking me home.”“Just think of it as me being kind to a beautiful student who’s heartbroken.”“I’m not heartbroken.” Jiyya muttered the words, though her expression would have been impossible to read if Sir Joan could see her face right now. “And I... I’m sorry,” she murmured.Sir Joan did not respond immediately.“For what?” After considering his words for a moment, Jiyya finally heard his voice, slightly lower and softer than before. Perhaps he was trying not to say anything that might hurt her, or use a tone that could offend her.Jiyya’s lips parted slightly before she answered him. “For the way I acted earlier. I know I was being foolish for missing him.”Truthfully, hearing Jiyya admit it for the second time made Joan’s heart ache. He did not like the feeling. But he could not run from th
Seeing her handsome lecturer so bewildered stirred something deep within Silvana. She could not stop herself from being captivated by what she was witnessing before her eyes. Sir Leon seemed a thousand times more handsome in a situation like this. His disheveled hair and damp lips only added to his
After a long pause spent admiring the handsome face of her favorite lecturer, Silvana finally decided to speak.Leon merely smirked at the confession from the beautiful student standing before him. He already knew, of course. “To be honest, I did know. I was only trying to improve your image, Silva
One of the boys yelped, outrage bubbling up as if he had been wronged. Leon felt not a shred of remorse. If anything, the flash of fear in their eyes fed something dark and deliberate inside him."You should really watch your mouths. The filth you think and spit out in public makes me sick. Got it?
The young man practically jolted at how brazenly Silvana treated him. He had heard whispers before, tales of how wild she could become once the sheets were involved, and those rumors had lingered in the back of his mind with a mix of intrigue and caution. Yet facing the reality of it now, he found
