Seol Entry
The gentle hum of conversation around the academy grounds was a stark contrast to the simmering emotions between Adam and Lily.
Adam's usual calm demeanor masked the storm brewing within, but Lily's scowl was harder to hide. Her narrowed eyes followed him, her frustration evident in every taut line of her face.
Noticing Lily's fiery expression, Adam allowed a small smile to play on his lips. He turned toward her, tilting his head slightly, his gaze questioning.
Before Lily could respond, Susan stepped closer, her determined stride drawing Adam's attention. Her auburn hair glinted in the soft afternoon light, and her smile was as warm as the sunlight itself.
"Why would you think I wouldn't talk to you?" she asked, her voice clear and confident. "I'll always talk to the one who saved my life."
