11. Can We Go Back to Being Rivals?

"Can anyone explain the second-order reaction rate formula and how the concentration-versus-time graph is formed?"Professor Hardi threw out the question after finishing his lecture. Dozens of freshmen exchanged glances, looked down, or suddenly became buried in their notes.Elena Castillo’s hand shot high into the air.From the edge of his glasses, Professor Hardi stared at Elena’s sole raised hand in the front row. However, he didn't call her name right away.His gaze shifted, drifting all the way up to the top corner of the lecture hall bleachers, as if waiting for his other star student to challenge her answer.Elena turned around too, following the professor’s gaze. Her heart dropped instantly.At the very top corner of the room, Julian Vega was leaning back casually. Instead of paying attention to the lecture, Julian was busy with Valeria Montes sitting in his lap. Valeria’s arms were wrapped around Julian’s neck, and the two were caught up in a passionate kiss, completely unbot

12. Her Not-So-Secret Admirer

Two soft knocks at the door of Room 304 snapped Elena out of her daydream. When she pulled it open, the hallway was deserted. There was only a small cardboard box wrapped with a gray ribbon sitting right on her doormat. Elena picked it up, her face scrunched in curiosity.Stuck to the top of the box was a bright yellow post-it note featuring a sketched background of the Borobudur Temple. The handwriting was neat, cursive, and effortlessly artistic:'Songs of the night. Sent specially for you from Solverde.'Elena’s eyebrows knitted together even further as she read the message.She carried the box inside, her curiosity spiking uncontrollably. Inside lay a mini sound machine. The moment she pressed the play button, the recorded chirping of crickets and the soft rustle of a night breeze immediately filled the room.“Woah!” Elena gasped out loud, caught somewhere between utter shock, an overwhelming surge of familiarity, and pure joy at feeling like she was back home—her safest place in t

13. To Make His Gaze Shifted

Julian was still rooted at his spot after Arthur and Elena had walked away. The field facility permit form he’d requested a signature for was now crumpled in his fist without him even realizing it, his mind racing as he replayed Arthur’s attitude.So, all this time, the mystery guy sending Elena gifts was Arthur.Arthur.His own brother.“Jules?” Valeria nudged his arm, jolting him out of his head. “What are you glaring at them for?”“Nothing.”“Really? Because you look like you’re ready to murder Arthur.”Julian shot her an irritated look. “I’m just tired.”Valeria narrowed her eyes, completely unconvincing. “Tired enough to forget I’m standing right here?”Julian let out a short sigh. “Val, don’t start,” he snapped, turning on his heel.His cold tone shut Valeria up immediately. She cast one last glance back at Arthur and Elena before following after him.In the opposite direction, Elena shot a curious look over her shoulder, watching Julian’s retreating back. She shook her head, br

14. Heartbeats and Headaches

Elena staggered down the corridor, massaging her aching shoulders as a string of exhausted yawns escaped her.It was 11:00 PM.Dragging her feet toward her dorm, her eyelids felt pulled down by sheer gravity, forcing her to squint just to keep from tripping over her own steps. Reaching her door, she fumbled through her bag for her key, but her fingers found nothing."No, no, no," she muttered in a sudden wave of panic, her sleepiness evaporating at the worst possible realization.She groaned as her intuition proved right. Her mind replayed where the key actually was: resting on the lower shelf of the assistant desk back at the lab—along with her access card. Not only was she locked out of her room tonight, but she couldn't even go back inside the lab to retrieve it."Perfect, Elena. Absolutely brilliant," she chided herself for her carelessness.Where am I supposed to sleep now? Taking a deep breath, she glanced at the tiled floor of the hallway and shuddered. That’s going to be freez

15. The Brothers Quarrel

In one of the rooms at the L’umiere apartment near campus, Arthur heard the distinct chime of someone entering the passcode at the door, followed by a set of familiar footsteps.A quiet, subtle grin spread across his face.He was standing at the kitchen sink, sleeves of his grey linen shirt neatly rolled up to his elbows as he rinsed a ceramic mug. He turned off the faucet and used a dry dish towel to wipe down the counter. To the right of the sink lay a brown leather folder stamped with the Molecular Biology lab logo, resting neatly beside a laptop in sleep mode.The harsh scrape of a chair being pulled out and the heavy thud of a backpack tossed onto the table shattered the quiet of the kitchen.Arthur turned around, raising an eyebrow in mild surprise at Julian, who slouched into the chair, arms crossed, locking him in a sharp, intense stare.Arthur dried his hands with measured, unhurried movements."Have you eaten?" he asked casually, brushing off Julian’s rough entrance."I ate

16. I Thought I Could Read You

The clinking of glass tubes inside the lab could be heard early that morning. Elena Castillo stood before her workbench, organizing rows of test tubes and petri dishes that had been freshly sterilized, her focus unbroken.The soft push of the glass door made Elena turn out of reflex. But the moment her eyes caught the figure stepping inside, her grip on the test tube tongs weakened—almost causing her to drop them onto the cluster of fragile glassware."Arthur?" Elena whispered, her eyes widening.Arthur Vega, who had intended to slip in unnoticed and hide in his office all day, winced, caught red-handed."Good morning, Elena," Arthur greeted at last, trying to avert his face. "Go on with your work, I won't disturb you," he dodged, sidestepping toward his office."Wait!" Elena called out, halting him in his tracks.He winced again in defeat.Elena set the tongs down immediately and hurried over to him. Her hands hovered hesitantly in the air, unsure of which part of Arthur's face looke

17. What Was That Kiss For?

Ever since that agonizing confrontation in the gym hallway, Elena’s attention had shifted entirely to Arthur.In the biology lab, she barely let him lift a finger. She made sure the young TA rested between shift schedules, brought him ice packs wrapped in clean towels, brewed hot tea unprompted, and meticulously tended to his forehead injury whenever his bandages needed changing.Whenever Julian passed the glass corridor outside, the sight cut straight to his chest.Through the glass wall, he watched how gently and carefully she pressed the cold compress to Arthur’s bruised cheek. Seeing the way Arthur looked back at her made Julian clench his fists so hard his knuckles turned white—he wanted nothing more than to leave a few more bruises on the guy's face.The jealousy burning in his chest, tangled with his guilt toward Arthur, completely hijacked Julian's mind. His head was a total mess, and he couldn't focus on a single thing.It showed at football practice that afternoon.During we

18. Hold On, It's Confusing

"You cheap, shameless slut!" Valeria shrieked, her voice shattering the quiet late-night air in the dorm hallway. "How dare you try to seduce my boyfriend!"The air hitched Elena’s throat.She couldn't bring herself to offer a defense; the whole situation had caught her completely off guard. Her tongue felt completely tied under the glare of Valeria’s hatred. Shame, shock, and the lingering electricity of Julian’s impulsive kiss slammed into her all at once.Before Valeria could take another step forward or raise a hand against her, a muscular arm pulled Valeria into a tight embrace, shielding her."Enough. Stop making a scene. I just want to rest, okay?" Julian pleaded, wincing through the pain as he gently stroked the top of Valeria’s head.Valeria squirmed against him, trying to break free so she could tear into Elena."Let me go, Jules! I’m not letting this girl take advantage of you while you're down!" Valeria spat."She was just trying to help... Don't blow this out of proportio

19. It's Not Funny Anymore

The trashy allegations glowing on her phone screen shattered every last shred of hope left inside Elena. The photos had been twisted into a cheap, scandalous narrative—one designed to obliterate her reputation as a Solverde scholar.To Elena, the Solverde scholarship wasn't just financial aid to cover tuition; it was her self-respect, her sole ticket to a future built with blood, sweat, and tears. And the moral clause in that scholarship contract was burned into her memory:Severe ethical violations or romantic scandals involving faculty members will result in immediate expulsion, removal from campus, and a permanent blacklist."El... are you okay?" whispered Ingrid, a classmate standing beside her, her voice laced with concern as she took in Elena’s pale, hollow expression."This isn't true," Elena choked out, trying with everything she had to fight off the wave of panic crashing over her chest. "I was just helping treat Mr. Arthur’s injuries in the lab. That’s all it was! I swear...

20. The Brothers Unspoken Sacrifices

"That photo... that post on the forum... it was you, wasn't it?!" Julian demanded, his voice trembling violently. "I did everything you wanted, Val! I tried so hard to stay away from Elena just like you asked!""You're accusing me without a single shred of proof, Jules? Why would I waste my time and energy on some poor college girl?" Valeria dodged, folding her arms and turning her face away to avoid his hawkish glare."Drop the act! I know your playbook inside and out!" Julian snapped."Oh, really?" Valeria challenged, jutting her chin out with fire in her eyes. "Those are pretty bold accusations, Jules. You better watch yourself—you don't want to cross me.""Or what? You're gonna use your empty threats on me again, huh? Guess what, they don't work anymore. You crossed the line when you got Elena's scholarship revoked. That was my breaking point, and I'm done playing your games!" Julian declared, turning on his heel to walk away.Panic seized Valeria. She suddenly realized she had re
