chapter 6-2: Unreal - in the middle of nowhere-

“I'll buy more as soon as we get back this evening” he added, straightening monotonously, meaning cat food.

“Ah. Okay..” “..Thanks”

Caroline, who pursed her lips for a moment, nodded affirmatively, while his eyebrows twitched in surprise.

“Meow!”

She took out some steamed meat with some milk and water in a special dish marked with a cute puppy mark and offered it to him.

“Here you go” she said, teasing his jaw as he kept up with her.

At the same time, Leon left the bathroom, leaving a pale silhouette of rising fumes behind him as he dried his blonde hair, after preparing his clothes.

“Good morning” he said in a flirtatious French accent, taking a seat himself, while Nam Shin automatically placed a cup of warm milk and maple syrup-soaked pancakes in front of him while greeting him.

“Stop..” “And.. Good morning” he smiled reproachfully, making the other swallow carefully and purse his lips.

"Well!"

As Caroline sat down, she immediately pulled out the chopsticks Nam Shin had offered her; she started eating the kimchi with some sushi before turning to the noodles decorated with a large slice of egg, vegetables and some pieces of meat.

“Eat well, your health is more important” he commented, pulling out more with interest, placing it on her plate.

Leon’s lips curled into a deep frown, pretending, in a dramatic and complaining manner.

“Huh? You! What are you telling her?”

Nam Shin, who had realized what was happening, rolled his eyes silently, with a crooked smile.

“Nothing, I just told her to take better care of her health” he explained in a slight British accent, causing the latter to sigh.

“Next time, speak in a language that humans can understand, you are truly obnoxious” he muttered, muttering under his breath.

“That goes for you too, idiot” he replied, rolling his eyes patiently, pondering.

“Hmph, how do you want me to understand Hangul, you Hambok?” he snorted critically, making the other sigh.

Logic was powerless against such an unreasonable person.

“Good thing you understand my position, Frenchman” he argued.

At that moment, Caroline’s gaze swung between the two of them repeatedly.

When Leon finally gave in, he turned to her.

“Forget it, when did you come back?”

“Oh, on time,” she blinked innocently, as she pulled more of the spicy noodles into her small, flushed mouth, Then dodged.

Leon, who couldn't help but admire the cute sight while she was eating, didn't push her too hard and continued to sip milk and savor his pancakes.

After spending time and finishing breakfast, Caroline returned to her room to prepare herself like the others.

As soon as she finished, her persona changed from a beautiful, calm and simple young woman, to a purely masculine aura with an elegant mix of arrogance and rebellion.

Her uniform, white and blue, matched her slender and medium stature perfectly.

From her soft, short, hazelnut locks with colorful curls in the front, to her large, dark coffee-colored eyes beneath natural, square, black-framed glasses, with a neck collar from last night and large headphones that barely left her.

Once she put on her leather coat with soft fur inside, and a gray backpack, Leon finally commented on her appearance.

“When will I see you dressed like a girl?”

“This is more comfortable, by the way” she shrugged nonchalantly as she tied the knot of her shoe, causing his eyebrows to furrow with a sigh.

“Some people will misunderstand you, it’s not your fault you’re handsome” He chuckled playfully, pinching her nose to make her frown.

“Not interested”

Nam Shin, who noticed his action, poked him.

“Stop teasing her. Let’s go” He said, pulling them both outside.

When Secretary Kim saw them, she greeted them with a polite smile.

Caroline, who decided to sit in the back, allowed Nam Shin to monopolize the first seat in the front.

And because the air under the London sky was always cold, he didn’t forget to bring special gloves for her.

“My present may be late, but I kept it in the desk drawer this morning”

“Thank you” she smiled passionately, before turning and looking outside, contemplating the view through the window glass as Leon drove his car towards the university.

In the past life and even now, she still remembers.

Nam Shin had specifically called an acquaintance to bring her two albums, to introduce her to the perspective of life through music.

K-pop and British music were amazing.

No matter how she met her favorite artist, it was amazing.

Nam Shin always had attractive features, from his soft, straight, hazel hair, to his phoenix eyes, thin lashes and crescent eyebrows that matched the straight bridge of his nose. And those lips, which always reflected a sweet smile and his unbearded jaw.

'He was simple, elegant and understanding'

'It was fantastic in every aspect'

Although his relationship with Leon may often seem like a cat and mouse to people, they were good friends from experience.

And it was really hard to describe in words.

However, life was not good enough for one of them.

//At University//

//12:09 AM//

And along the way to the cafeteria, Caroline stood in front of the coffee machine with complicated expressions, waiting for it to be ready.

As soon as the machine stopped, she pulled out a hot cappuccino cup with the tips of her fingers and then walked along the path leading to the roof, passing the students, with lazy eyes, lost in thought.

Step by step, she climbed the stairs, sipping from the straw in small, close quantities.

When the first cool breeze touched her, the ends of her colored locks moved in the direction of the wind, expressing her shivering.

Although the vast majority were stuck in the restaurant connected to the cafeteria or the courtyards, during the break, it gave her a temporary place of privacy.

As she got closer to the wall separating heaven and earth, she took the black cat out of her sleeve, letting him finally breathe freely.

Going back to the early hours of this morning, she was already feeling a migraine from the amount of information that reflected her ignorance.

So much so that even if I wanted to hit her head with the pole, she would still be fine without injury, and atonement for her would not change the situation at all.
