Chapter 51: Chapter 5 Wi GaHyun-8

The first day he had brought the girl to his house, he had thought the sofa looked uncomfortable and moved her to his bed. The girl was lying there just as he had left her. He didn't want to show this scene to anyone. He didn't know why, but he was embarrassed about it.

”I'm back.”

He mumbled as his cheeks flushed pink.

After being kidnapped by Jack, Alice wrote out the original storyline she remembered onto a piece of paper. After she had finished organizing it, she stared at one part in particular.

/DK (psn) ↔ TW W/

It meant Duke's poison, Twins interrupt to win. Noting from the current flow of the story, about three weeks later, Duke tried to make her fall asleep in Central by using a sedative. But Twins, seeing this, saved her from him, and the scene ended peacefully.

In the original story, this would be when Alice visited Twins' house, but currently, the story was going differently. She remembered how her inability to heal Twins had led to the different conclusion in Cheshire's kidnapping scheme.

She should have found Twins to heal them at whatever cost. She tapped persistently on the notebook with her pen. White Rabbit had saved her that time, but there was no guarantee that would happen again.

There were only two options. She could not go to Central during that time frame, or she could become friendly with Twins before all this happened. She brought up the memory of Twins' face. The face was too great to give up. Plus, even though he killed the other girls that he slept with, he had become a benign middle schooler toward Alice, crushing on his first love.

Alice got up and got ready to go out. When she opened the door, her guard, Jeremy, made eye contact. He was different from Peter, who had wanted to spend every minute with her.

It had been a long time since she thought about Peter. After the incident with Jack, he had been injured severely due to Heart's punishment. Alice was banned from healing him, so he was still recovering. Thinking that she should go to visit him sometime, she told Jeremy her destination.

”I want to go see Baby.”

Using the informant Baby, she would be able to find a way to make contact with Twins. She headed toward Baby's house.

Baby's house was about an hour away from Heart's. Only having met Alice once at SoYoon's house, Baby smiled strangely at her.

”And what business brought you, the walking miracle, to my door?”

Baby greeted Alice with a crooked smile. Alice thought that he—he was a male today—was a lovely looking boy who could mess up many girls' lives.

At Baby's words, Alice dropped her head as if embarrassed. For Baby, who had seduced and been seduced by many men and women, this smile looked a bit lame. Did she think that the people of Wonderland would fall for something as simple as that? Even the simplest of people wouldn't be lured into that trap, he thought, then realized that there were already two who had been coaxed into it. Oh, friend, he sighed in exasperation.

”I heard that you are an informant.”

The smiling face of Baby changed drastically. The unsmiling Baby looked like a well-made cold ceramic doll. A few moments later, he smiled again, but Alice couldn't get the face she'd just seen out of her head.

”Really? And who did you hear this from?”

”That…Hea—”

”Hm? Heart?”

Baby's blue eyes gleamed sharply. Alice hurriedly shut her mouth. She thought hard to figure out who else would have been able to tell her that Baby was an informant. ”Hm?” Baby asked again, and Alice blurted out, ”White—White Rabbit! White Rabbit told me!”

”Ah-ha!”

He clapped his hands and reached out joyfully to Alice.

”I see, it was White Rabbit.”

His warm fingers swept across her forehead, temples, cheeks, and down to her lips. When the warmth left the places he touched, she felt cold and shivered. Baby gently patted Alice's cheeks.

”There aren't a lot of people who know that I am an informant. All those people have promised me that they will keep the secret, and that is the only way to guarantee their own safety. Now, I'll ask you again: Who did you tell this to?”

The silver eyelashes surrounding the blue eyes narrowed softly. Seeing a violent gleam in them, Alice ran.

”Alice? Wait!”

With Jeremy's voice, the footsteps of the two people faded off into the distance. Baby stuck out his tongue.

”She's lying.”

”What should we do?” the man waiting under the shadows of the drawing room asked.

”Leave them alone.”

Baby handed the man the drink that Alice hadn't touched.

”Isn't it dangerous? You said she's going around spreading the information…”
