Chapter 705 - Seven Hundred And Five: A Man Had More Feelings (1/2)

The third point of view:

”You know, you don't have to always follow me to my locker,” Ailee said to Neon who walked her to her locker like he always does. His royalty was admirable and reminded her of Hachikō and that made her sad at the same time.

Hachikō was a Japanese dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following its master's death.

Hidesaburō Ueno was a professor who brought Hachikō to live as his pet. Ueno would commute daily to work, and Hachikō would leave the house to greet him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station.

The pair continued the daily routine until one day when Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while he was giving a lecture to his class, and died without ever returning to the train station in which Hachikō waited.

Each day, for the next nine years, nine months, and fifteen days, Hachikō awaited Ueno's return, appearing precisely when the train was due at the station until his death.

Ailee knew such a scenario would never play out between her and Neon. The attention Neon gave her was temporary and short-lived, soon he would have to go find his destiny while she does the same. But somehow, she wished he would never forget her - because she wasn't going to do the same.

”Hey, are you alright?” Neon asked upon noticing how distracted she was.

”Of course, I'm good,” Ailee was quick to cover up immediately.

However, almost immediately a notification came into Neon's cellphone and he glanced at it only for his expression to change.

”Are you okay?” It was Ailee's turn to ask.

”Yes, I'm good,” He smiled back at her, ”I just need to make a call, I'll be back,” Neon informed her and took his leave at once.

Well, what could be the problem? Ailee didn't think much about it and turned to her locker. She had just gotten the textbooks she needed when she heard a, ”Hi” beside her.

”Hi,” Ailee responded, barely glancing at whoever that was until it hit her and she whipped around with lightning speed.

”Y-you,” Her mouth remained open with great shock such that a fly could get in with little effort.

Standing before her was no other than Theodore Donovan. Yeah, the real Theo, brother, and twin to her new best friend, Eve, and the guy she was currently crushing on. Yes! It was Theodore in flesh and present. Oh my God! Ailee yapped inwardly.

Immediately, Ailee cleared her throat and said with a much sweater voice, ”Hello there,”

”Hello,” Theodore smiled at her, exposing the two dimples that formed at the corner of his cheeks.

Oh my God, Ailee was ready to faint. He was so handsome.

”We've met before,” He said.

”Of course, we did” she muttered under her breath, ”You whispered into my ears,”
