It's just a bet.

Caleb accepted your confession only because he lost a bet with his friend. That's why you two are lovers.

Caleb treats you....neither coldly nor passionately. Since you two became lovers until now, everything that has happened between you two has always been.... too peaceful to the point of blandness.

You always think how lucky you are that he accepted your confession, that you are the best skykid's lover you have ever met during your journey in the Sky kingdom.

But then you wonder....

Is it luck? Or is it the beginning of your agony?

You are always hurt by how the way he treats you. You always think that you are not attractive and interesting enough to make him have more than one expression. That's why you always try your best to make Caleb happy.

Today is his birthday. Skykid often doesn't remember the day they were born, and neither do you. But you remember his birthday very clearly even though he only just blurted out to you once.

You have secretly planned and prepared a sumptuous party. Just you and him.

You didn't tell Caleb, but you believed that because you were his lover, he would notice your disappearance all day and come find you.

So, after setting up the table full of his favorite cakes, you eagerly sit there, waiting for him.

You wait, wait, and keep waiting....

Wait until the sun sets and the moon is high in the sky, until the cupcakes have colded, until you've cried all your tears, and he still doesn't appear.

"Ah... I finally understand."

You smile bitterly, looking at the cakes that have cooled in the cold wind, another small sob escape your lips.

Maybe...you just have the "label" of being his lover. Not his lover.

You begin to clean the table, and then you suddenly hear footsteps from behind.

A cold, low and gentle voice echoes out from behind you.
