“I have heard of something interesting recently. Mind clarifying it?”

Hearing that voice out of nowhere almost started Seraphine into dropping the croissant off her hand. As she raised her head, she stared at Kayden in front of her and frowned.

“Since when did you have the habit of sneaking up on others?” Seraphine questioned.

Kayden extended his hand towards her and pressed on to the creases that formed between both of her eyebrows. This lead Seraphine to smoothen her forehead.

“I wasn’t planning do so until I learned someone was encouraged by me to confess,” Kayden vocalized.

Honestly, Kayden didn’t think much of it, other than Seraphine wanting to make a fool out of Eli. However, he did want to observe various faces she would make once caught red-handed.

All excuses and shameless lines felt intr

    Seraphine squinted her nose and said, “See, look at your expression. It totally has ‘you are saying bullshit, but I am going along with it in order to not create any problems' all over it.”“No, you are wrong.” He then pinched her nose prior to continuing, “What I am trying to convey is even if it is nonsense, it doesn’t matter because you are cute.”A bright grin appeared on her face as Seraphine cheerfully answered, “I like the sound of that. Call me cute more often.”°°°The results were announced today.The first thing Seraphine did after getting her results was search for Kayden, and after she spotted him with couple of other students, she ran over to him.Once Kayden sensed her presence, he made his way over to her after excusing himself. Without wasting a second further, Seraphine

    Fortunately, Winter didn’t probe further on the matter and in fact wore a bright smile on her face. Seraphine was glad that Winter didn’t pursue this.“Ah, Seraphine, on the occasion on you doing so well, I brought you some brownies. Do you want to have them?” Winter questioned.There was nothing for her to do now, so Seraphine nodded her head.“That sounds great. Should we sit outside and eat?” Seraphine suggested.Even if Winter made her feel uncomfortable at times, Seraphine was warming up to her and considered her to be a female friend of her.Of course, she did keep in mind about Winter’s possible betrayal, and that’s why, there was a certain barrier in between present, so that Seraphine’s feelings aren’t hurt when Winter exposes herself.“I would like that,” Winter answered.

    Other than the initial surprise, Kayden didn't show much change in expression and continue forward. The lack of enthusiasm bothered Seraphine.Getting closer to him, Seraphine clutched on to his hand and commented, "That's it?"Tilting his head to face her, he replied, "This doesn't concern me.""Tch!" Seraphine scoffed. "You say I feel adult-like at times. What about you? Who in your age shows as such a dull response?"After this, Seraphine did not pursue the matter further, and the two of them held small conversations here and there prior to them reaching their destination.This part of the town was bustling, and there was a faint smell of alcohol in the air. The surroundings were noisy due to sounds from laughter and yelling.Crinkling in nose, Kayden questioned, "Is this really where you wanted to come in?"Not too far from here

    Once Seraphine was dragged out, she raised her head to stare at Kayden and questioned, "What was that urgency?"Kayden sighed and expressed, "That was the Crown Prince.""Ah, so?" she vocalised as she started to walk forward.Only then did the words sink into her head, and she halted in her steps. Her eyes widened as she looked back at Kayden."What the hell? Repeat it again!" Seraphine exclaimed."That was Crown Prince, Alexandar Meyton, in disguise, Seraphine," Kayden vocalised.Her heart almost stopped when she heard that, and the shock received by her was immense.No wonder he seemed awfully familiar to her with that manner of dealing.Seraphine hit her head against the nearby wall softly as she spoke out, "I am really a fool, aren't I? Ah! He must have had a good laugh! How could I not recognize him!?"

    Seraphine went through the collection of dresses in the novel in front of her. They were supposed to be latest trends around the Capital.There were few not released yet, and according to the dressmaker, it would be proper, with her being the daughter of the Duke, to start a trend.Seraphine truly did not want to take on the burden of being a trendsetter.The original Seraphine had followed that path, and what resulted from it was endless troubles. She was constantly being compared and ridiculed by others.It wasn't that she was shying away from it; she did have confidence in her outlook. However, when one started a fashion trend, there were many things to follow after it.As for the rest of the dresses, none of them suit Seraphine's taste. Wearing dresses on normal days was tiring enough for Seraphine, and the ones suitable for grand occasions were much heavier.

    What irritated Seraphine most about holding the parties is the fact she had to write all the letters herself— at least the important ones— in order to show her so-called sincerity.When she asked for help, Betty was against it, saying it would be great practice for Seraphine for her letter writing skills were terrible.Betty was kind enough to reassure her that because of her status, barely anyone would openly show their displeasure.Of course, Seraphine knew what Betty was trying to actually convey in terms of those words were she was already mocked in the society, things couldn't get worse for her.Seraphine stared at her literary skills and then her handwriting. It didn't take long for embarrassment to fill her, and even if she wasn't a perfectionist plus couldn't care less about the letters, it still would be humiliating for her to send these letters out.Seraphin

    It was past midnight by the time Seraphine was done writing the letters, and she was completely drowsy. A yawn escaped her mouth while she stretched her hands.Thankfully, due to Kayden, the letters were done by today. Because of short time, all the preparations were needed to be done hastily.Eyes half open, she vocalised, "You are really good guy; you voluntarily helped me until this late. Just stay here for the night."Kayden responded, "Alright, go to bed now. You have a long day tomorrow as well."Just hearing this made Seraphine let out a groan and express, "Ah! Why did my family had to be this prestigious!?"°°°On the day of the ball, extra part-time workers were hired due to the servants in the mansion being lacking, and even so, everyone had a hard time coping up with the work.Moreover, the inexperienced Seraphine w

    Upon hearing those words from her brother, Seraphine was indeed taken aback and stumbled. She made sure to cover all clues. So, how was it he found out about it?Kayden wouldn't leak out about this matter. This made her recall about the other person, and creases appeared between both of her eyebrows."That Alexandar did it, right!? Wow! That jerk!" Maybe because of how he informed about the incident to her brothers made her lose her composure.Her attitude did bring surprise to both her brothers. While Clayton was amazed, a helpless sigh escaped from Lyle's mouth."Even I wouldn't be able to indulge you if you disrespect the Crown Prince like this," Lyle expressed."No one is here," Seraphine pointed out, "I can't believe he would be such a snitch though.

    Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y

    “Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w

    Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda

    Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.“Excuse me for a second.”With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h

    Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H

    Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso

    “Of course not. What are you talking about? You can feel comfortable at here. You have done a lot for Jiyeon, and we are thankful to you for that,” her mother voiced out.Hearing how gently her mother was speaking made Jiyeon scoff and say, “I didn’t know that you are able to talk in this manner, Mother; I thought you were only capable of shouting.”This caused her mother to glare at Jiyeon and state, “Shut up! Make yourself useful for once, and set up the table.”Although Jiyeon rolled her eyes at her mother, she did as the woman ordered as she made her way over to the kitchen. Tilting her head from the kitchen, she could see that small conversation went on between her mother and Taeyang. This caused her to wonder what the content was.Nevertheless, Jiyeon was quick to her feet and arranged the table without causing much accidents. Once done with that, she took her seat and called for

    Jiyeon had to admit that Taeyang was great at explaining her. It was as if he understood her and knew how to keep her concentration on the subject. No matter how much she wanted to distract him or ask him unnecessary questions, he didn’t let that happen.And as for the last part of the session, he gave her few problems to solve, saying, “After you are able to solve them all and get half of them correct, you can go home.”Jiyeon was dumbfounded by the expectations he held on her. Even on the subject she found the easiest, getting half correct was hard for her.“Can’t we lower the bar a little? Today is the first day after all. Let’s settle for forty percent.”He shook his head and voiced out, “If you get more than fifty percent, I will reward you.”That did sound appealing to her, and knowing that there was no place for argument, she attempted the questions I hopes of attaining that reward.

    It didn’t take Taeyang long to finish making the breakfast, and even though Jiyeon had a large intake of sugar now, that didn’t take away from her appetite when she smelled the pancakes. This caused her to feel sudden hunger.Taeyang placed the glass of orange juice in front of her before serving her pancakes and covering those up with syrup. Yurie’s mouth watered as she held her fork and voiced out, “Thank you.”After that, given how delicious the pancakes were, it didn’t take her long to finish eating them, and once done with that, she stared at Taeyang with impressed eyes.“Whoa! This is seriously good,” Jiyeon voiced out, “You really have a way to lower my self-esteem.”“Don’t worry about that. Collectively, you are way better than me.”This made Jiyeon scrunch up her nose and vocalize, “We both know that is not the case. I am far from being half as good as you.
