Chapter 3

Author: Donner
The next morning, I was shaken awake by Kelvin.

"Didn't you say you had things to do today? It's almost 10:00 am. Are you going to be able to make it? I'm going to campus as well. Come with me?"

Kelvin was already dressed and ready.

On the table sat a fresh breakfast burrito. It was clear he'd waited in line at the diner downstairs to get it for me. The gloom weighing on my chest since last night instantly thawed at the sight of the steam curling from the food.

I glanced at the laundry hanging tangled together out on the balcony and at the cabinet stocked with all the colorful drinks I loved interspersed with the red wine and coffee beans he liked. All this time we'd been together, Kelvin had actually been genuinely good to me.

He was the one who took care of me in our daily lives, handling the cleaning, the laundry, and the cooking.

If…

[Kelvin is just too nice. He just has to pull the tiniest stunt, and Stephanie is already so moved. LOL! I swear she's about to cry. She's so gullible!]

[Kelvin's main goal was to pick up a gift—the heirloom bracelet—for Tamara. After all, Stephanie still technically holds the girlfriend title. Then he grabbed the breakfast burrito on the way back. Just some scraps of attention, and Stephanie is already reacting like this. As expected of our main character!]

[No wonder he's so excited today! Turns out he went to get his family heirloom for his soon-to-be-wifey. Watching this ice prince turn into a clingy little puppy will be amazing. I can't wait for all the sweet fluff coming up later!]

[Don't be ungrateful, Stephanie! Just quietly follow him back to campus. With how much of a drama queen you are, you don't have many real friends anyway. When the time comes, you're going to end up lurking in a dark corner, and then you'll just hurt Tamara and get punished for it.]

Seeing the cynical comments killed my urge to stroll down memory lane.

I sized Kelvin up from head to toe. Instead of flinching like he usually did, he leaned his face closer to mine, as if trying to entice me.

"What? You're over your little temper tantrum from last night now? You want a kiss? But… it has to be a quick one."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently held my chin.

The moment our breaths mingled, I caught a glimpse of his other hand hidden behind his back. Sure enough, he was holding a carefully wrapped box.

He was taking advantage of me while thinking about getting back with his first love!

I shoved him away, unable to stop the curses from flying out of my mouth. "You scumbag! Get off me!"

He blinked, looking utterly innocent. "What now, my princess? You've been acting weird since last night. What have I done wrong? You have to tell me so I can fix it, right?"

I was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang. Kelvin shot me a quick glance before stepping out onto the balcony to answer it.

I moved a little closer and faintly heard a sweet, syrupy voice on the other end.

[Our beloved Tamara is back! Sure enough, the second Kelvin sees the caller ID, he can't even be bothered with Stephanie anymore. I'm dying from laughter just seeing the livid expression on her face!]

[Look at how whipped Kelvin is! He'll probably run right back to Tamara the moment she crooks her finger at him.]

[I'll bet a pack of gum that Kelvin is going to see Tamara right away. Stephanie, get ready to be put in your place!]

[If you want a free pack of gum, just say so.]

[But to be honest, I feel like Stephanie hasn't really done anything wrong so far…]

[What are you even saying? Don't you know that the main couple is everything? Stephanie is literally just a plot device.]

[If you don't like it, leave. Don't mess with us main-couple shippers.]

"Let's go. We can head back to campus together."

Kelvin's voice pulled me back from the floating comments.

I stared straight into his eyes. "Why are you going to campus today?"

He blinked and avoided answering the question directly. Instead, he reached out to take my bag. "I'm just taking care of some stuff."

I gripped my bag tightly. "Why can't you tell me? And what's that thing you're holding behind your back?"

He pressed his lips together and stayed silent.

Suddenly, another ringtone sounded. This time, he didn't step away from me to answer it, but he didn't wait for the other person to speak either.

"I'll be right there," he interjected quickly.

As he turned to leave, I said in a low voice, "If you walk out of that door today, we're breaking up."

Kelvin froze in place. When he turned around again, his expression was dark.

"Stephanie Ward, I've told you before—you can do whatever you want, but don't throw the word 'breakup' around so lightly.

"I'm going to campus because I have something to take care of. You'll understand later."

    Out of breath, Rob came running over and grabbed hold of Tamara, whose emotions were quickly spiraling out of control."Tammy, you've already done everything you possibly could. If you actually stood a chance, would you be standing here throwing a hysterical fit?"I know you don't want to accept it, but this is just how things were meant to be between you and Kelvin. You need to let it go."Tamara collapsed onto the ground in a pathetic heap, sobbing uncontrollably. Gone was the poised and demure "first love" I'd seen when we first met.Kelvin didn't linger for another second. He took my hand and led me away. To my complete surprise, he led me all the way to my apartment with practiced ease."So, the meals Patricia brought me were your doing?"He pursed his lips for a long moment before answering, "Yeah. I've been investigating this whole situation these past few weeks."As it turned out, Tamara had secretly installed hidden cameras in our apartment and planted a tiny, high-tech

    [Kelvin's doing this on purpose. He's jealous, but he's pretending not to care. Deep down, he's probably losing his mind over that jacket.][Of course he is! He even said 'I'd be happy for you both' out of spite. I feel so bad for Tamara. She must be so heartbroken.][It's okay. This novel's supposed to be angsty-to-sweet anyway. Without the angst, the happy ending wouldn't feel as satisfying.][The more I see Stephanie, the more I find her annoying. I can't believe she's still wedging herself between our main couple even at a time like this. If I could transmigrate into the story, I'd slap her into next week!][Don't worry. She'll get what's coming to her soon enough…]Only a few comments had appeared when they started predicting my tragic ending again.The first time I'd seen them, I'd been terrified. But now, I was practically numb to them. In fact, I found their so-called endings rather lacking in creativity.While I was still lost in thought, a pair of arms wrapped around m

    Even after the conference ended, I still couldn't make sense of everything that had been happening lately.Seeing how preoccupied I was, Patricia grabbed me and headed for the exit. But right as we reached the doors, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.It was only then—after finally snapping back to my senses—that I saw that the person blocking our way was none other than Kelvin, the person I hadn't seen in a long time.There was a hint of quiet hurt in his eyes. My own eyes started stinging, and I tried to step around him, but he only stepped in front of me yet again."Aren't you already back with your first love?" I blurted out. "What are you doing coming to find me? Your girlfriend is over there!"Even though I was starting to have suspicions, I still couldn't help venting a bit of my bitterness.Kelvin grabbed my hand and refused to let go."You've lost so much weight, Stephanie," he said, his voice rough with emotion. "Didn't I tell you that no matter what happens, you have

    [Stephanie is so insufferable! Kelvin was obviously just greeting someone he knows. She doesn't seriously think he's smiling at her, does she?][Our precious Tamara is here! As expected, the moment she appears, Kelvin doesn't even notice anyone else. Don't tell me Stephanie is still dreaming of throwing herself at him and ruining their relationship?][Kelvin is clearly head over heels for Tamara! They just need the right opportunity—one little push. Having Stephanie around might actually speed things up. I hope she gives them the push they need!][In that case, I'm cheering Stephanie on, too. Please spend more time helping our lovebirds out!]Me? Give them a push?These comments really were infuriating! They were totally twisting the truth!When Kelvin and I were together, their precious female lead was the one desperately trying to win back the man she couldn't have. Why didn't anyone call her the home-wrecking third wheel back then?I looked up again, and sure enough, Kelvin w

    I made my decision without hesitation, but my coursework was so overwhelming that I barely even had time to leave campus to look for food from back home. Choking down the bland Asturian food was quickly becoming a form of torture.Mom and Dad offered to come take care of me, but I turned them down. Marcus also offered to hire a housekeeper who knew how to cook Lodairian cuisine. Honestly, it wasn't a bad idea, as I was truly reaching my breaking point.To my surprise, the very next day, Patricia Kimball, an upperclassman of mine who also came from Lodair, showed up with a spread of mouthwatering food. Every single dish was one of my favorites.I was so touched I didn't even know how to thank her."Actually…" she started hesitantly.But after surviving on boring food for so many days, I finally felt alive again. And so I was far too busy devouring the meal to pay any attention to her.Seeing me so ravenous, she didn't continue either.For the next several days, she continued to b

    Astura was beautiful, and the coursework was demanding enough that I threw myself completely into my studies.I assumed that I would be able to completely forget my old life. But every day, when I sat down to eat or lay down to sleep, my thoughts would inevitably drift back to Kelvin.Regardless of everything, he had been a really good boyfriend.I'd been pampered by my family since I was a kid, so I was used to enjoying the finer things in life.
