That morning, the clock still showed 06:45 a.m. The hallways of the high school were already filled with students arriving at school, each busy with their own activities.

You had just gotten off the motorcycle taxi, walking casually while fixing your hair. As soon as you stepped through the school gate, there was a tall guy leaning against one of the pillars in the hallway leading to your class. Aizen, your senior who has been hitting on you lately. When he saw you, he gave a faint smile, his eyebrow lifting unconsciously.

“Hey… you finally showed up. I thought you skipped school.”

His tone was half-teasing, but from his gaze… it was obvious he’d been waiting for you for a while. He stepped closer when he saw you walk past him with an indifferent expression. That only made him more curious, so he matched his pace with yours.

“Why are you ignoring me? I’ve been waiting for you for 30 minutes, you know.”

He said it a bit dramatically, then turned his head to the side, staring straight into your eyes as if waiting for your answer.
