My parents also got busy working because of the light.

I ended up coming here while looking for a job that provides room and board.

I didn't know the young master from the big house would be the same age and in the same class as me, but

To think that the Niel I ran into at school was, of all people, the young master of this place... Before I could even recover from the huge shock, Niel hugged me.

The mind and psychology persistently torment the head.

With a pounding heart, I couldn't sleep even though it was time to fall asleep, and ended up spending the time fidgeting.

He mutters to himself, pats his cheeks, and stands up.

Ha... you crazy bastard...

예리

I'm trembling because of that crazy bastard... what am I supposed to do...

I change my clothes and wash up while grumbling.

I had no choice but to stand in front of Niel's room after being told to pull up his school uniform before going to school in the morning.

I knocked, but there was no answer. When I opened the door, Niel was sleeping soundly.

The words that slipped out unconsciously after putting the school uniform down under the bed

예리

Ha...should I just quit...

강다니엘

why.

Niel asks in a hoarse voice because it is morning

예리

Ah... wake up...

Niel asks me again as I get flustered

강다니엘

Why are you trying to quit?

He stands there looking perplexed and gets up from the bed.

And Niel, who had walked toward me, opened his mouth.

강다니엘

Come in your school uniform and let's have breakfast.

예리

what?

강다니엘

... Let's have breakfast. Why aren't you going to school?

예리

...No... that's not it...

강다니엘

I have to take off my clothes. Aren't you leaving?

예리

... ah..

Yeri hurriedly left the room at Niel's words, stood there blankly, and then came down to the living room.

황비서

Yeri, you have to go to school too, right?

예리

Ah... yes... I'll go straight there in my school uniform.

Niel asked me to have breakfast together, but after seeing his face—or rather, feeling like I wouldn't be able to swallow even a single spoonful at his house—I hurriedly got ready and went to school.

Thanks to arriving early, the classroom was empty

Yeri, slumped over the desk, letting out a deep sigh

예리

What the... Why are you suggesting breakfast... Ugh...

I closed my eyes because I couldn't sleep at night while muttering like that.

I blinked a couple of times at the sound of footsteps and saw the face

강다니엘

I said let's eat...

예리

... it's crazy..

강다니엘

Who am I?

Daniel's voice was so vivid that I looked up and saw Daniel chuckle.

And the bustling surroundings

Daniel looking at Yeri as if unfazed by the noise, and Yeri bearing the full weight of his gaze.

At that time, despite the surrounding noise, I felt like we were the only two people.

You looking at me, and I cannot avoid that gaze

It just means I'm that focused on you.

I came to my senses, turned my head, and stood up.

Let's think... think

We need to be rational. We need to be realistic... That is how it should be...

Even though I know things will get complicated if I'm paired with you...

강다니엘

Yeri

At your voice holding me back...

I spaced out like an idiot.
