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“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

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

LEVI'S POV"Please... p-please don't leave me, Levi. J-just stay b-beside me... always.""Please... p-please don't leave me, Levi. J-just stay b-beside me... always.""Please... p-please don't leave me, Levi. J-just stay b-beside me... always."Sitting on the sofa with just boxers on, I leaned my naked back against it, my legs were widespread as I turned the pages of the book I was holding as if I was counting it—but really not. Something was upsetting me."Levi?" Caius called out as he stopped from browsing his phone."Oh?" I answered lazily. I remained turning the pages of the book from beginning to end, then from the end back to the first page."Something happened?""I'm not sure.""Are you okay?""Do I look like okay?""What's wrong with you?""I don't know.""Really?""Yeah.""How many hands do you have?""Ten—oh

LEVI'S POV The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Five thirty in the morning. That was already suspicious. I usually hated waking up early, especially when I knew there was no reason for me to get out of bed yet. But today was different. Today, I had a plan. A very stupid, terrifying, probably embarrassing plan. I was going to confess to Adalee. I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at the floor. "Okay, Levi." I slapped both of my cheeks. "You're a man." Another slap. "You're the Department President." Another one. "You're intelligent." I paused. "Sometimes." I stood up and stretched my arms. "You're handsome." I stared at myself through the mirror. "Definitely." I nodded confidently. Then my confidence disappeared when I imagined Adalee standing in front of me. "What if she rejects me?" I immediately covered my face. "Stop." What if she laugh? What if she said she only saw me as a friend? What if she didn't even like me? What if
