RIVAL'S TO LOVER'S: My Step Brother Is Now My Roommate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 67

STEPHEN’S POVThe moment Mom’s assistant texted me “Your mother needs to see you immediately,” I knew something was wrong.Mom doesn’t summon people just like that and she definitely doesn’t interrupt my day unless it’s serious.I step into her office twenty minutes later, loosening the tie around my neck. The place looks exactly like it always does, immaculate, intimidating, and ridiculously expensive.Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook half the city, sunlight reflecting off the glass buildings outside.Mom is standing near her desk, flipping through a folder.Hayden is sitting on the couch and that alone is enough to ruin my mood.My eyes narrow slightly. “What’s he doing here?”Hayden glances up lazily from his phone, sprawled across the couch like he owns the place. “Nice to see you too, brother.”I ignore him and look at Mom. “You said it was urgent.”“It is.” Her tone leaves no room for argument.She closes the folder and walks toward us, heels clicking against the floor.Hayden s

HAYDEN’S POVIf someone told me yesterday that Stephen and I would spend twelve straight hours studying together without killing each other, I would’ve laughed in their face.Yet here we are.Day one of preparation starts with him ripping apart my entire understanding of economics.“Wrong,” Stephen says flatly.I glare at the paper between us. “You didn’t even look at it.”“I don’t need to.” He taps the notebook with his pen. “Your formula is already incorrect.”I stare at him. “You’re unbelievable.”“And you’re skipping steps…..again.”I groan loudly and drop my head back against the couch. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”Stephen doesn’t even bother pretending. “A little.” Of course he is.The living room floor is covered in books now. My books, his books, printed lecture notes, and empty coffee cups. We’ve basically turned the dorm into a war zone of economics.Stephen sits across from me at the table, perfectly composed as usual. His sleeves are rolled up and his hair is slight

LILIAN’S POV Waiting outside the economics building is more boring than I expected. The hallway is crowded with students pacing, flipping through notes, or whispering last-minute formulas like prayers. A few of them are even muttering to themselves. Honestly, it’s kind of terrifying. Exams turn perfectly normal people into lunatics. I lean back against the wall near the entrance, scrolling lazily through my phone while I wait for Hayden to finish. The exam started almost an hour ago, which means there’s still plenty of time before anyone comes out. But I told him I’d wait. So here I am. A couple of girls nearby are complaining loudly about how hard the exam was last year. “Professor Dalton always asks trick questions,” one of them says dramatically. The other groans. “I’m going to fail.” I roll my eyes and slip my phone back into my pocket. Hayden won’t fail, not after the insane amount of studying he did with Stephen. The thought makes me smile a little. I’ve never seen
