It was already 9:00 pm after dinner. I wanted to return since I was thinking about the drawing I hadn’t
touched in nearly two days. I even wished that Helen and Matthew would go on a date so that I could
stay upte and catch up on the work.
“Luna, how about we go to a karaoke joint?”
Upon hearing their suggestion, I felt a greater generational gap between me and the juniors. They had
been enjoying themselves for a long time. Wouldn’t it be nice to go back home and engage in activities
they liked?
As I had gone to the restroom, I ended up walking at the back. I moved to the center of the reception
hall when a junior called me.
I was taken aback for a moment by his loud voice. The guests at the table near the leisure bar opposite
were startled as well. The man facing me suddenly raised his head.
Under the dim light, his familiar face suddenly darkened when he saw me.

I was about to leave, but my feet suddenly became a jumbled mess. I nearly fell to the ground as I
tripped on my own foot.
It made sense why he hadn’t been picking up my calls!
I didn’t know what was wrong with me. My feet felt weak and cold from my panic. I made a concerted
effort to turn away and stop staring at the sight over there, but I couldn’t help myself. I kept staring as if
I wanted to read that man’s mind.
Felix appeared out of nowhere, embracing my trembling body while gently patting my head. He buried
my head against his neck.
I was taken aback by Felix’s unexpected appearance. Though he prevented me from falling, I saw
me and obvious demonstration when I unconsciously nced at him.
His demonstration was for Colin, that was for sure. What about me? I couldn’t
understand Felix’s thoughts.
Put differently, myprehension of him had always been limited. I’d never been able to get a good
read on him.
I turned to gaze back at Colin. The woman in his arms was already sitting up straight, looking as
innocent as if nothing had happened.

Under the dim lights, she peered at Colin with deep admiration.
I was unsure if it was my imagination, but Colin’s expression seemed to have darkened. He appeared
dejected, incredibly resentful, and more. I couldn’t tell whether anything else was mixed in because I
felt lightheaded.
It was the first time I saw a woman beside him, let alone one in his arms.
Before that, I never imagined that such a day woulde.
By the time I realized it, I was clutching my chest hard. It was throbbing in pain.
Feeling aggrieved, I felt my eyes well up with tears.
Colin said he wanted to be my boyfriend and agreed to wait for my answer. Why did he ept the
embrace of another woman in the blink of an eye?
His words meant nothing!
Hannah joyfully extended an invitation to me to join them for karaoketer, but I rejected it.
I exined that I wanted to work on my painting as I had been dyed for two days.
Only I knew the truth. While what I stated was a fact, I knew the painting wasn’t urgent. I could finish it
if I stayed upte for two days straight.
But I was in a foul temper. I wanted to grab Colin’s cor and ask him what he was doing. Why did he
go back on his.word? Did he think I was easily bullied? Or did he not value me as much as I had
believed?
Felix wanted to send me back, but I rejected him and staggered to the college gate. Holding the
handrail at the college gate, I took a moment to calm down before steadying my steps and walking
toward the apartment building.
When I eventually made it to the grove in front of the apartment, a branch jutting out. scratched my
scalp, causing me to cry.
I sobbed bitterly, letting tears trickle down my cheeks and wet the hair that was on my chest as I held
my injured scalp.
“Hmph, you can’t even take this? If you want to be with him, you might have to endure a lot more. You’ll
cry till you’re unable to cry anymore.“
