Episode 22

Peony was feeling strange sensations within him, like he had extra power coursing through his veins. As he tried to make sense of it, a flower leaf fell from above and landed in his hand. He looked at it curiously, and to his surprise, he saw a message written on it. The message warned him that he couldn't use his powers in the human world, or both he and Hazel would die. He felt a sense of panic and confusion. What was he supposed to do now? He couldn't bear the thought of losing Hazel.

Suddenly, he remembered Ethan, Hazel's classmate, and his heart sank. He knew that Ethan had feelings for Hazel, and the thought of him coming between them made him feel uneasy. He had to see Hazel and make sure she was safe. He ran outside and headed towards the bus station, hoping to catch a ride to the school.

When he arrived at the bus station, he realized that he didn't have any money or a bus pass. Just then, a group of girls noticed him and were immediately drawn to his beauty. They all wanted to help him and offered to pay for his bus fare. One girl even stepped up and paid for him. Peony thanked her and smiled, feeling grateful for their kindness.

As he arrived at the school, he saw Hazel coming out of the department with her friends Aster and Brookie. He could see that Hazel was in a rush, and as she approached him, she was surprised to see a group of girls surrounding him, giving him gifts. She immediately told him to go away and go to his class.

Peony tried to explain that he had come to pick her up, but Hazel was angry and slapped him on the chest. Peony felt hurt and confused by her reaction. He tried to explain that he just wanted to be with her and protect her from Ethan, who he knew had feelings for her. Aster and Brookie clapped their hands in approval of Peony's boldness.

Hazel's anger subsided, and she began to see Peony's true intentions. She felt grateful to have someone who cared for her and wanted to protect her. As they walked to class together, Peony felt a sense of relief and happiness. He knew that he couldn't use his powers in the human world, but he also knew that his love for Hazel was stronger than anything else.

As they arrived at their classroom, Peony felt a sense of belonging. He knew that he had found a place where he could be himself and be with the person he loved. He was grateful for the girls who had helped him, and he was grateful for Hazel and her friends who had accepted him.

In that moment, Peony knew that he had found a new home, a place where he could belong and be loved. And he knew that he would do anything to protect Hazel, even if it meant risking his own life.
