By the time they got back to their apartment, Conrad immediately goes to his bedroom to change his clothes and rest before cooking dinner. After changing, he lies down on his bed and thinks to himself for a moment, that maybe Olivia and he are a perfect pair after all. But considering the fact that he already started dating Jaiden, he guesses that his deciding between them will be more difficult than he anticipated. While he was scrolling through Social Media, seeing various posts from his friends, his mom, his dad, and his following pages, he stumbles upon a recent post from Jaiden. It shows a picture of a bright red dress with no sleeves with the caption, “Inspired by my favorite music album, Red by Taylor Swift. I cannot wait to show it to you in person 😉.” He reacted to her post with a love emoji and commented, “I can already imagine you looking beautiful in the dress you made. Can’t wait to see you in person 😊.” Minutes later, he was about to go out of his roo

Olivia felt relieved after bursting into tears. She was also a bit embarrassed for crying so suddenly and right in front of Conrad. She lets go of Conrad and wipes her tears away with her hand. Conrad gives her his handkerchief and tells her to use it to wipe her tears and to blow her nose.“Feel any better?” Conrad asked.“Yeah, I do,” Olivia answered. “I guess I needed that.”“Look, whatever it is you’re feeling at any day, you can always open up to me about it.” He said. “Or maybe I can comfort you if you just want to cry or anything,” He continued. “And it’s fine if you can’t tell me right away. I just want you to know that I’m always here if you need someone to talk to.”“Thanks for being a good friend, Conrad.” She said as she gave Conrad another hug.After they hugged each other, Olivia gives Conrad’s handkerchief back. But Conra

While class is in session, Alfred went into deep thinking, not realizing that he wasn’t listening anymore. He just couldn’t face the fact that Olivia just ignored Conrad earlier. He thinks that maybe what Conrad said to her did hurt her badly. And because of that, Olivia pretended as if Conrad never existed. He starts to have a hard time wondering if the two of them can stay as friends or probably never see each other again because of it. Break time occurred, and Conrad excused himself to use the restroom. Alfred wanted to come with him and talk to him but didn’t go through with it after seeing Conrad’s regretted look. He also wanted to talk to Olivia as well, but she is busy talking to Chef Austin, asking about what she missed in class while she was gone. He decides to follow Conrad instead and try to talk to him regarding him apologizing to Olivia. Meanwhile, in the men’s restroom, Conrad splashed himself with water to realize if what happened earlier was real or n

Once Chef Austin dismissed his class, he asks Conrad and Olivia to stay for a private conversation between themselves. After hearing that, they stayed in their seats and waited for everyone to leave the room before approaching Chef Austin. Conrad told Alfred that he can go home first since talking to Chef Austin might take a while, and he didn’t want for him to wait outside. Alfred agreed, but before he leaves the room, he whispers to him that he should try to talk to Olivia after their little chat with Chef Austin later. Conrad agreed by saying that he’ll try talking to her once they're done talking to Chef Austin.Once everyone else left the room, Chef Austin walks up to them with a serious yet worried look on his face.“Do you know why I wanted to talk to you guys?” Chef Austin asked.“Is it because that we missed a week worth of lessons?” Olivia guessed.“Yes, but there are two more things…” Chef

The following morning, Conrad was chilling in the living area with a cup of coffee in his hand. He didn’t get to go back to sleep after writing an entry in his mental journal. Even when he wrote what he remembers in his dream, he couldn’t stop thinking about it.Alfred goes out of his room and notices Conrad up so early in the morning. He also notices that Conrad hasn’t slept after seeing him looking drowsy.“Good morning Conrad!” Alfred greeted.“Hey, good morning!” Conrad greeted back.“You’re up early…” Alfred said worriedly knowing that something is bothering Conrad.“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep after waking up in the middle of the night…” He said anxiously while scratching the back of his head. “You’re going out for a run?” He asked noticing his athletic clothing.“Well, since you’re up early, you want to join me for a ru
