Chapter 385 - Victor III (2/2)

Setsura shook her head, ”No. I have to at least tell....”

He didn't know what got into him but he felt it was the right response as he pulled the girl to his arms. ”Calm down.”

After a while he felt that the girl stopped shaking, he pulled her away and yet placed his hand on her shoulder as if to comfort her. To her surprise, she placed her hand on top of his.

”One day I received a phone call from Mina. It was a rather disturbing call. It sounded like she was in real trouble and that's why I rushed out to help her. That day I was rather careless, it had been raining a lot and it seemed like I was rather unwell. When I got to the sight, Mina wasn't in trouble but instead, she stood there with a bunch of high schoolers who...who tried to assault me.”

At that, his eyes widened. 'Is this why she has a fear towards men?' He noticed it even before. Despite how naturally Setsura interacted with other people. Victor noticed how she flinched when it came to other men.

”I'm even back then it was true. Yet I'll admit it I was naive thinking that they were blackmailing my friend that's why at the beginning I let them do what they want to me. It was frightening and I hated it. It wasn't until they were half way done and I was on the verge of tears that Yang showed up. Yang saved me, or rather..” Setsura chuckles.

”He was like ' What the hell are you doing Princess? This girl is the one who started it all' and indeed I saw it. Whilst it was happening to me, my so called friend was taking photos on her phone. ' Your strong' after Yang whispered that to me I beat her up and all the other guys too. Next day that gitl didn't come to school and I heard she transferred. I was betrayed, but at the same time she had truly been my friend.”

”Do you blame Yang? He arrived late.”

Setsura sighed. ”If only I could do that. Yang wasn't at fault it was me...” Her gaze softened. ”Because I didn't understand what love was. I didn't understand what it meant by having someone by your side. I didn't realise it until Yang saved me, when he did I thought ' ah I understand it now'.”

Having someone by her side...she ...did she notice it? Did she realise what he had been doing?

”Getting a grip and understanding those emotions aren't easy. But I don't think it's impossible, I believe everyone is capable of them.”

Everyones capable huh?

As Victor pondered on this

Victor realized why and slowly stood up. ”You're going back inside. Your fever has worsened”

”Oh no I'm fine....”

”That's irrational. Your completely red, and your skin feels like it's burning.”

How could she still say that? Rather why is she laughing? This could turn into something serious.

”Why do you go through so much?”

”That's because..” Setsura trailed off. ”This suffering is well deserved.”
