Pupa and Yunyu were bickering inside Yunyu's head when Matthew said, "I will pass it, don't worry. I will also make sure that I am good enough to stay with you…."

"Stay with me? But you're already by my side, Matthew!" Jean said while giggling. But Matthew only showed a thin smile.

"Not yet, Jean, there are few things I wanted to do to be by your side…." Matthew replied. They kept chatting for over an hour, and nobody dared to disturb them because the aura around Jean and Matthew was mysteriously harmonious yet creepy and isolated.

As if they were inside their harmonious box, but the box was made out of spike. 

Matthew's expression gradually eased until and he showed thin smiles from time to time. 

Until a bright light appeared in the middle of the hall, everybody already knew who would be the last guest for Jean's seventeenth birthday.
