Vierne, He walked behind her.
What are you doing here? She asked.
Skipping class. What about you?
Late for class.
Hey, half of the class is already gone. And if you leave now, the professor will be angry at you.
Then, what should I do?
I know of a good place. He held her hand and walked towards the second floor. There, they reached a small room which was filled with musical instruments and a few sweaty boys.They seemed to be a band.
Hey Grigory, They clapped each other's hand while Vierne just stood behind him.
Who is this? The drummer asked.
This is Vierne. They looked at her uniform, You got your hands on a special student?
Dudes! We are just friends! Grigory blushed.
Oh guys, I forgot to get my guitar prick! I'll go get it.
I'll come with you!
Me too!
Wait—Why do you all need to go to get a prick? Grigory shouted but all of them had left already. He looked at Vierne, Sorry, they are weirdos.
No, it's fine. I guess they don't really like me, Vierne laughed nervously and blood left her nose.
Vierne, you're bleeding! He looked at her nose.
Hang on, I'll get the first aid kit. He took it out from a nearby cupboard and gave her some cotton. He looked at her face. All the scratch marks and blemishes had disappeared. Even the blood had dried.
Wow, you heal pretty fast.
Oh—Yes, kind of,
How did you get hurt so badly?
I—Fell from the chair.
Pff—How?
I was sleeping weirdly,
Aren't you funny? He laughed, Okay now, tell me what the matter is?
What do you mean?
Tell me who did this?
...Promise me you won't tell anyone or do anything.
I won't.
Actually, it's Dasha.
What? Why is she doing this?
She seems to have a liking towards Lict. I'm sorry to say this to you.
Why are you sorry?
Because she doesn't like you.
Oh, I know that.
Aren't you dating?
We are,
Then, doesn't it matter to you if she likes someone else.
He laughed, It's the first time I've seen you talk so much. Vierne intertwined her fingers together and looked at the floor.
I can't force someone to like me. She comes to me whenever she needs a shoulder to lean on. Otherwise, I don't exist.
Why are you dating such a person?
Because I liked her at one point.
Now you don't?
No, but I don't know how to say this to her. I don't like her but I can't see her cry. I don't have the courage to put forward the idea of a break up before her.
This is so toxic, Vierne said.
I won't deny that.
