Scene 18 : The Reason

Arthur threw coins in his hand at Logan and with wide strokes grabbed Lilian's body. He ignored Lilian's gaze at him and hurried to the girls' dormitory.

"Your room?"

"The first door on the right." Lilian answered softly.

He was truly like a perfect statue when Lilian looked at him closely. His eyes stared straight without feeling disturbed by Lilian who did not take her eyes off since she occupied his arm. His adam's apple moved occasionally up and down.

Uhhh such a beauty!

Lilian could imagine if Arthur in her world, he definitely became the number one national boyfriend.

Speaking of boyfriends, Won Ji Hoo never carried her like a princess like this.

She suddenly notice it's been a long time since she met his boyfriend. In Ha realized, she didn't even have time to think about him because her brain was too full about Lilian.

That man...is he missed her?

In Ha could vaguely remember when the last time that man said he missed her.

Sadly, she has to temporarily get rid of Won Ji Hoo for a while from her current mind when Arthur arrived at her room.

Arthur put her on the bed as Lilian opened the door to her room.

"Wait a minute. I'll call a doctor."

Lilian gripped him before Arthur could leave. How could she waste this opportunity? Arthur consciously took one step towards her.

"Brother ... wait a minute!"

Lilian got out of bed and took a towel from her closet. "Your clothes are wet because of me. You have to dry them before you leave if you don't want to catch a cold."

Arthur saw the towel reaching out to him and Lilian took turns. With slow movements he took the towel in her hand. To Lilian's surprise, Arthur wiped the towel on her hair.

"You must worry about yourself before worrying about others."

Arthur did not see how Lilian held the corner of her lips from lifting. If he did, he will see her expression contorted. Arthur tried to dry her hair awkwardly.

Lilian's attitude was now far from his imagination, and made Arthur suspicious assuming his sister was hanging out with certain people. Unfortunately in this situation with many eyes staring at him, he could not pretend and being ignorance because everyone knew Lilian was his younger sister.

He could not let Lilian get sick and make their parents worry. Especially when she under his supervision.

"Change your clothes and get some rest." Arthur didn't want to linger longer here. But for the second time Lilian took his arm.

"Brother, did I pass this test?"

Arthur saw her worried expression. Who still thinks about passing or not when the situation out of control? Arthur spoke before pulling his hand.

"I don't know."

He heard her ask again. "Uhm ... do you think I passed?"

Arthur caught the word emphasis on him. "Let me ask you, why did you choose this division? You know this is not a division that is suitable for women." Arthur observed the exact same blue eyes as his, trying to find answers and honesty there.

"Because you were there." Lilian reply in a flash. She would not bother to choose this division if Arthur was not in it.

Arthur gasped at Lilian's answer. His brow furrowed.

He?

So the reason was he?

"What do you mean?"

Lilian racked her brain for excuses. "Uh ... you know women won't really be able to work in this sphere. So I want to accompany you ... and father ... for a while."

Lilian lowered her beautiful eyelashes and looked at the floor. Her hand gripped the towel on her lap. "Until my time comes, can't you keep me by your side?"

The wrinkles on Arthur's forehead deepened. Until the time comes? Is his sister sick? He was never told that. No, basically Arthur didn't care about things related to Lilian.

"Explain, what do you mean?"

'Oww shuuttt, what else should she say?'

That she wanna make him sure she didn't have a slightest intention to take his place? or say to keep his close? To be specific, she had no cliche reason other than for this man not to slit her throat.

Lilian felt her head hurt thinking of a reason to be near Arthur. So Arthur would like her and throw away his mind about who would take his position.

"I ..."

While busy thinking, Lilian suddenly sneezed. She covered her nose with a towel.

"Uhm ... I'm sorry ..."

"Let's talk next time. Hurry and change your clothes and rest."

Lilian sighed in relief. For a while she managed to avoid things that make her thinking hard.

Arthur left her room and asked the passing students to call the academy doctor to check on Lilian's condition.

After certainly saw the student left to the right direction, he returned to the arena. He was still thinking about Lilian's reply earlier. For some reason, Arthur caught another ulterior motive in her answer and that disturbed his mind.

He intend to asked again another time. Arthur did not like it when something odd swirling in his mind and stay behind.

Arthur stared at far away before the figure of his team entered his view. His friends were still standing in the same place when he left them.
