"You're jealous?" Mazen asked, tilting his head to the side. "No." Cosette denied it immediately, but her embarrassed countenance told him otherwise. "I'm just… just worried. Did you like it?" "What?" "Sarah also had an accident… remember?" Cosette let out a deep exhale, causing her shoulders to lower. "I'm not saying I liked it, but it wasn't that bad. It feels strange, but it's not like —" "It was disgusting." Maxen cut her off before she could continue comparing her experience with his. "I'm…-

"Ah! Coz — Cosette! You're hurting me! Ah! My hair!" Maxen furrowed his brows as Luke's voice was the first thing he heard the second he stepped onto the rooftop. He fell asleep in the class, and when he woke up and didn't see Cosette until the end of the course, he went to find her. Fortunately, the rooftop was the first thing that came into his head and his guess was correct. Maxen followed Luke's shouts as if he was being butchered, only to tilt his head upon seeing Cosette beating up Luke. "What…

pAn,Da nv,e1 "You are my precious friend and I don't want to be close to the people my people are uncomfortable with. Moreover, I think — no, your brother is a jerk and so full of himself. I don't like him that much. No, no. I don't like him at all!" Luke blinked twice, staring at Cosette in disbelief. "Really? You think so too?" "Mhm!" Cosette nodded profusely. "I don't like that he looks at everyone as if they were inferior to him. It's not like he is perfect!" "I know, right?!" Luke clapped and…

Cosette headed straight to the rooftop after throwing a bit of cash to the delinquents as a down payment for her request. Once she reached the rooftop, she looked around to search for Luke. A deep frown turned up on her lips, seeing that no one was in there. Yet, she didn't leave but instead came inside. "Luke?" she called, holding her hand behind her. She went behind the deck and her guess was correct. There, Luke was sitting on the floor with his back against the wall. There was a handkerchief over…

Cosette raised her hand in the middle of the third subject, signaling to the teacher she wanted to use the bathroom. The teacher simply nodded as he continued his lecture. As she pushed herself up, she glanced in Maxen's seat to tell him she would be back, only to see him sleeping on his desk. 'It's been a while since I saw him sleep during class, but I guess they had a rough night.' Cosette mentally shook her head at the thought that something had happened last night. Whatever it was, she was certain it…

Cosette gazed at Maxen's back with worry in her eyes while he stood in front of the open window to breathe. She snapped back to the current lapse when Sarah suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her outside the classroom. "Cozie, are you alright?" Cosette flinched when Sarah grabbed her shoulders, standing several steps away from the door. "Huh?" "Maxen just… just… he didn't… kiss you, right?" "Ah…" Sarah's question was akin to magic, casting it upon Cosette and opening a portal to realization.…

Cosette and Sarah smiled awkwardly before looking at each other. Even without any word exchange, they already agreed not to approach the two. Maxen and Luke seemed to be in a very sensitive state. "Let's stay outside after dropping off our bags." Cosette leaned closer to Sarah, and the latter nodded in agreement. "I think that's a good idea," Sarah whispered. pA n,dan(-)0ve1.c0m Both tiptoed their way in, treading on thin ice under Maxen's gaze. Luke had already looked away with his arms on the desk,…

The next day… Since Maxen stayed over at Luke's place, Cosette had to travel all alone to school for the first time in a long time. But Conrad, for obvious reasons, offered to give his daughter a ride to school. In the past, Cosette would only ask him to drop her at the bus stop. But since their talk last night, she didn't ask for such a thing and stayed as the driver drove past her usual stop. "I thought Maxen returned last night." Conrad broke the stifling silence dominating the backseat. "He…

"Young Master Quinn, didn't you say I wasn't your type? But your actions say otherwise," was Cosette's opening greeting to Asher as she placed the phone in front of her ear. "Do you have any idea what time is it? I hope this is important or I'll make you pay for it." Her brows rose as she waited for Asher's comeback, only to receive silence. Cosette blinked twice, checking the phone if it was connected. Seeing that the line was still connected, she put the phone to her ear again. "Young Master Quinn…?…

Maxen raised his fist to knock on the door of Luke's apartment. However, he hesitated, retracting his hand away. Cosette and Maxen had agreed that he would check on Luke or stay with him for the night. Hence, he didn't stay in the Blac residence for over thirty minutes, leaving right after he changed clothes. 'I don't want him to gloat in front of me.' A deep exhale slipped past his lips, only realizing now that he didn't think of Luke's reaction when he went back to this place. 'Should I just leave him…
