LEVI’S POV
As I was making an egg sandwiches, I noticed Caius being so quite.
“What’s with you? You've been quite since you woke up. That's new. Why? Aren't you feeling well?” I asked him as he was just sitting quietly for awhile in front of me. He's not been talking and he seemed upset.
"Eomma," Mom, he uttered.
"What about her?"
"There's a poem written on the notebook she gave me on my dream last night saying, ‘With or without, it's the same. Family is a blessing-or not? Complete yet feels like broken; in a mess, in chaos. I should be thankful—or not? My heart, my mind-helpless. Atmosphere; sadness, anger, pain. What can I do? It feels like everyone is drowning to the brokenness and hatred. They’re hurting each other; emotionally, verbally. My heart keeps on pounding-pained. Is it better to be just apart?’ Finally,” he said.
"Either you have a co

LEVI’S POV“What’s up?”I practiced about how I supposed to approach Adalee for reconciliation, but I ended up saying those lame words like, “Where’s your brain now, Levi?”Busy as she was for a quite long time while sketching, she stopped and tilted her head to look at me when I inched towards her desk.“Are you... um... busy?” I asked again when she didn’t respond. She was just staring at me, blankly.“Sorry,” I mumbled and looked away as I placed a bottle of Dutch Mill Delight on her desk.“W-what’s this f-for?” she asked.“Peace offering about the small fight we had last time.”“Ah,” she uttered. “It’s o-okay.”I looked at her and said, “It’s sweeter than Yakult. Try it,” then placed my hands inside my pocket.She smiled as she looked at the prob

CAIUS’ POV“I wonder if Levi kissed her already,” I chuckled as I drank the cold Dutch Mill Delight, and threw its bottle before I left the cafeteria.A stretch of dry weather made my sweat dripped down my temples, eventually making a slow descent to my neck.Before heading to the room, I decided to stop by at the department’s garden to relax and get some fresh air.I was alone, sitting on the grass in the garden area of the school under the shade of the tree. Later I pressed my back against the trunk of an old tree behind me.“Ah. It’s so hot,” I mumbled as I fanned myself using my hand.As I enjoyed my spare time, I fished for my phone inside my pocket, put on my earphones and listened to my favorite Korean playlist.“This... one. Because It’s You by ASTRO is good,” I whispered as I pressed the play button on my phone.There was a broken he

LEVI’S POV"S-Seo... S-Seoyeon?" I uttered when our lips parted. I was stiffed by the sudden shock that the kiss gave me."Um... I'm sorry. It's supposedly a kiss on your cheek, but you suddenly turned around so..." she said as she swayed her body, biting her lip as if she was trying to be cute in front of me."It's o-okay... I m-mean...it's an accident."I simply turned to Adalee and I gulped the moment I saw how she nearly crumpled her sketpad."Why... why are you here, S-Seoyeon?" I asked Seoyeon when I looked at her again.What the hell was going on, Levi? Why would it need to have a scene like this?"I-I'll just go o-outside. E-excuse me," Adalee said as she inched outside the room."Adalee... ugh!"I scratched my head as I tried to calm myself. I had nothing to do, but to watch Adalee walked away.I couldn't leave Seoyeon like this after what had happened to her last

LEVI’S POV"I know right," I replied as I grabbed both of our school bags, then paid our drinks.“I can’t walk properly, right? What happened, Levi? Did I d-damaged my b-brain already?” he asked as I helped him walked outside the bar.He was struggling from walking so I had to help him. His white uniform was stained already, his hair was greasy, and his actions were slow and clumsy.“Let me see,” I uttered. “Difficulty in walking, blurred vision, red cheeks, impaired memory... yes, I guess.”“Jinjjayo?” Really? he asked and looked at me. He suddenly caressed my face with his both hands.“Neomu kyeopta!” So cute! he yelled as he pinched my cheeks.“Hey!” I shouted and removed his hands away from my face. “Are you insane?”“Mianhae,” Sorry, he barely whispered before he totally passed out.“Ugh!” I had nothing to do, but to carry him on my back. After all, he was like a younger brother to me, so I had to take care of him.I left the place and started to walk back to the dorm. It was jus

LEVI’S POV“Are you mad?” I said, almost raising my voice. I stopped from walking and turned to her.She halted and tilted her head to face me.“I’m not the one who’s mad here. It’s you!” she yelled back, almost giving me a glare which was a surprise to me.“W-why are you s-shouting?” I asked.“You’re the first one who raised your voice here!”“So, you’re mad?”“I’m not!” she denied keeping a strong gaze against me.“So why are you shouting?”Instead of giving me an answer, she turned her back at me which made me realiz that we were in front of our classroom.Everyone was watching us, looking confused and surprised. Adalee didn’t mind and entered the room straight to her t

LEVI’S POV“How’s Caius?” Pino asked when he arrived at the clinic.“He’s fine. It’s good that he’s calm and resting now,” I answered.“He’s a Linonophobe.”We both turned our head to the school nurse who were just done checking up on Caius. I ended up bringing him here at the clinic because he looked so pale. He’s now resting and asleep.“Yes, probably,” I said as I nodded.Pino asked, “A Linonophobe?”“It’s the fear of strings,” I answered.“He only fear the rope, right?” the nurse asked, putting the stethoscope around her neck.“That’s right,” I replied and glanced at Caius who’s sleeping on the bed at my right side.“Linonophobes usually have no problems wearing clothes, but shoes with laces may be a problem and they may prefer leathe

CAIUS' POVI finally drifted back to consciousness. Rubbing my eyes and nose as I moved upright the bed, I tried to look around.Clinic. Even I stared blurredly, I could clearly tell that it was Pino. He was sitting near the door, browsing his phone."Pino?" I called him.He instantly walked towards me as he slid his phone back inside his pocket."You're awake. How are you feeling?""Oh. I’m... I’m okay,” I answered. “But where’s Levi?”"Ah, Levi... um..."Rubbing both of his hands with his face crumpled, it was telling me that there was something wrong.I frowned and asked, "Why? Where is he?""He is... he's at the hall. He called an urgent meeting again.""Why? Don't tell me..." Slowly, he nodded.It’s because of me.I stood up and grabbed his shoulders. "Let's go there," I told him."Are you sure, you'

LEVI'S POVThe moment the three left the hall, slowly, I inched towards Adalee.Scratching my nape as I moved a little more closer to her, I asked, "Are you... are you okay?" My voice was breaking the silence.She tilted her head as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. Her eyes and nose were red, probably because of crying, and I felt guilty for a second."I'm... I'm okay," she mumbled, sniffing and rubbing her nose.I slid my hand inside my pocket, fishing for my handkerchief. I said, "Here."Offering her my handkerchief was a little help for her nose.Stretching her arm, she took it and started blowing her nose. Seeing her, a smile suddenly wanted to appear on my face. I just bit my lower lip to stop myself and said, "Stop crying already. I didn't bring any extra handkerchief for your nose."Blowing her nose hard for the last time, she forced a smile. "I'm s-sorry. I messed up... with your handker
