Chapter 98 - Seed of Love (2/2)

Inside the Earth Alliance Academy's library.

”No, they signed a treaty in order to gain peace. But they never knew that after signing that treaty, the people revolted that caused another bloody war in their country.” Krystal pointed at a certain part of the book that she was holding and whispered towards Roan.

The latter took notes while listening to her. He also asked questions from time to time which Krystal would answer without even giving much thought as if what was written on the book was already at the back of her hands.

Some of their classmates saw them sitting together, but they ignored them and focused on studying instead. Although they were jealous of Roan, they also wanted to get the top score.

Their studying continued for another two hours before they decided to go back to their rooms.

”It's getting late, we should head back,” Roan said with a smile while closing the book in his hands.

Krystal glanced at the watch in her wrist and she saw that it was already midnight. She could not help but turn pale for some reason.

”Ahh... Can you... Can you come together with me?”

Roan thought for a moment before a teasing smile hung on his face.

”Are you perhaps afra-” Roan could not continue what he wanted to say because a dainty and soft pair of hands covered his mouth. He then glanced at her cheekily which made Krystal take back her arms. She then glared at him with blushing cheeks.

”You... You...”

Roan chuckled and nodded his head.

”Fine. Fine. Fine. I will send you back to your room.”

Roan walked straight without turning back. Krystal hastily followed after him while glancing left and right. She then inched nearer to him and held his clothes.

Roan felt her tugging his clothes, but he did not mind.

”Krystal, every time you are afraid, just think that it is merely temporary. Remember, there is always a rainbow after the rain.”

He then glanced at her softly while stretching his right hand towards her.

Krystal felt a strange emotion invading her heart after seeing the tender expression of Roan. She then shyly held his hand while facing the ground to hide her embarrassment.

Both of them felt each other's warmth through their hands. And they also strangely felt that their hands fit perfectly for each other.

During the entire time, they forgot all the negative things and they focused entirely on the wonderful sensation that they were feeling. They did not even realize that an intangible knot slowly bounded both their fates. But they were too young to know what kind of feeling they were currently experiencing.

”We're here.” A soft voice similar to a sweet chirping of birds surprised Roan for a bit. He then glanced at Krystal who was still holding his hand.

”Bye Krystal. Good luck to you. I hope either of us will get the top score.”

He let go of her hand which made him feel a slight pang in his heart, like a certain part of him, was taken away.

Krystal blushed and nodded her head in response before she spoke in a stuttering voice.

”You... You too. Good luck. Bye.” She then hastily went inside her dorm room. She then leaned on the door while clutching her chest, her breathing was ragged.

”What is this strange feeling of loss?”

Roan smiled and shook his head while looking at the closed door before he left.
