In the dimly lit study of Alfonzo's grand manor, the trio gathered to work on their assignments. The air carried a tense undertone as you, facing challenges in your business studies, mustered the courage to seek Alfonzo's assistance since he studied the same major as you.

However, Alfonzo's stoic exterior remained unyielding. His cold gaze met your plea, and a dismissive tone cut through the silence.

“It’s not that hard so i’m not gonna help you. I do think it couldn’t help to make you use your head."

Feeling the weight of rejection, you nodded quietly and retreated to your corner. However, your hopes were shattered when you observed Alfonzo immediately turn his attention to Stella, who was struggling with her own coursework in a different field.

The stark contrast between his dismissiveness toward you and his warmth toward Stella left you heartbroken, a silent witness to a preference that cut deeper than mere words.
