TFUL Ch 1

Zenomium Academy, Boys’ Dormitory.

Felix returned to the dorm after class, carrying a pile of gifts and letters, which he dumped unceremoniously onto the table. All of them were from female students.

Though each gift was meticulously wrapped, Felix’s careless handling caused some of them to roll off the table and onto the floor.

Adrian, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, picked them up and frowned when he noticed his own name on one of the packages.

“Why are you picking up gifts addressed to me?”

At Adrian’s question, Felix shrugged and replied casually, “What was I supposed to do when they gave it to me, thinking I was you?”

“Aren’t you going to grow your hair out again?”

“It’s too hot.”

With a mischievous grin, Felix grabbed a nearby gift of homemade cookies. His hands showed none of the excitement one might expect when unwrapping a present as he untied the ribbon.

Adrian shook his head as he watched Felix toss a cookie into his mouth, his short hair clearly visible.

After the summer break, Felix had appeared with his long hair cut short, causing people to frequently mistake him for his twin brother, Adrian. Their faces, height, and even voices were so similar that the only way people distinguished between them was by the length of their hair.

Adrian, the younger twin, kept his short blond hair neatly combed back and wore his uniform properly buttoned. Felix, the elder twin, used to let his long blond hair cascade over his shoulders and never bothered to button up his shirt completely.

This unspoken “rule” for identifying the twins had been an implicit agreement among the students and faculty at the academy for several semesters.

But for some reason, on the first day of the new semester, Felix had broken the rule and showed up with his hair cut short.

“Now people are going to get us confused all the time,” Adrian complained.

“Then let’s switch. From now on, you grow your hair out.” Felix responded lightly, showing no intention of taking his brother’s complaint seriously.

“Soon, no one will be able to tell us apart. Not even our parents.”

Felix chuckled at Adrian’s words, knowing they might be true. Their mother and father might genuinely struggle to differentiate between them.

“What does it matter how long our hair is?” Felix said as he dusted his hands off after finishing the last cookie. “As long as we’re both sons of House Berg, no one really cares who we actually are.”

Felix still had another class to attend. Stretching his arms and letting out a yawn, he stood up, his face showing signs of fatigue.

“By the way, why are you so free when I’m this busy? Don’t you have class?” he asked, teasingly.

Adrian frowned again. “Free? I need to get to work on student council matters right away. And there’s library work to do, too.”

Adrian was both the student council president and head of the library committee—a level of dedication Felix couldn’t comprehend.

“I told you to take the required courses earlier, didn’t I? You wasted time slacking off, and now you’re busy because you procrastinated.”

Sensing his brother was about to launch into a lecture, Felix quickly grabbed his bag and headed out. When Adrian started lecturing, no one could stop him.

The new semester had begun.

Though it was technically autumn, the campus still carried the sights and sounds of summer. The sun beat down harshly, and the vibrant green trees were alive with the relentless chirping of cicadas, as loud as a summer rainstorm.

Walking across the sunbaked campus, Felix thought about Adrian’s words.

“Soon, no one will be able to tell us apart. Not even our parents.”

It was true that their parents often couldn’t distinguish between the twins. Felix recalled several times when his mother and father had mistakenly called him Adrian.

But it wasn’t true that no one could tell them apart.

Because she could.

Felix kicked a pebble along the path as he walked, then suddenly stopped.

Speak of the devil.

She was walking toward him from the opposite side of the path.

“Lucy Keenan,” Felix murmured her name softly.

With her wavy light brown hair neatly braided behind her and her shirt buttoned all the way up to her neck despite the heat, she looked as prim and proper as ever.

The child, whose gait was as upright and proper as their demeanor, was walking while looking at a small notebook when they suddenly seemed to sense a gaze on them. They lifted their head.

Lucy Keenan, who had stopped dead upon spotting Felix, widened her eyes in surprise, narrowed them, then widened them again.
No, they narrowed again.

Heh, go ahead, keep debating.

Felix internally scoffed as he watched her. She was likely wracking her brain, trying to figure out whether the Berg twin standing before her was Adrian Berg or Felix Berg.

Felix softened his expression, lifting the corners of his mouth into a subtle smile. It was a smile Adrian often wore—a kind, gentle smile that could easily make anyone mistake him for his twin.

Sure enough, Lucy Keenan soon approached him with a friendly smile on her face. Felix felt a strange sense of triumph watching her approach.

“Adrian, there’s a meeting in the student council room later…”

Lucy Keenan, speaking in a small, clear voice, trailed off mid-sentence. She abruptly stopped in her tracks.

In the next moment, her smile completely vanished, replaced by a sudden expression of confusion that overtook her entire face.

“Ah…”

Lucy Keenan made a small, inexplicable sound before quickly turning around and retracing her steps at a brisk pace.

Watching her retreat as though fleeing, Felix raised an eyebrow.
The victory he had felt just moments earlier dissolved entirely, leaving him with nothing but a bitter taste.

With a frustrated hand, he ruffled his blonde hair.

“Damn it.”

𓍢ִ໋☕️✧

Felix first became aware of Lucy Keenan’s presence during the previous semester. It was a spring day when he and Adrian had shown up wearing identical hats.

Felix had tied his long hair up and hidden it inside his hat, making it impossible to distinguish him from Adrian.

Not only the students and teachers but even their closest friend, Alec, stood before them, tilting his head in confusion.

“What the heck? What are you two up to? Take those off. I can’t tell who’s who.”

The twins burst into laughter at his bewildered expression.

“We can’t. Father’s visiting today,” Adrian replied.

“Duke Berg is coming?”

Duke Arthur Berg was one of the most powerful and wealthy figures in the Veros Empire, a benefactor who had made substantial donations to Zenomium Academy.

Knowing their father’s strict and cold personality, the twins had dressed impeccably that day to avoid giving him even the smallest reason to criticize them. Felix had even gone as far as wearing a tie, which he usually avoided out of discomfort.

“There’s no choice. Not until Father leaves,” Felix muttered, tugging uncomfortably at the tie constricting his neck.

When their father arrived, both Felix and Adrian would inevitably be summoned to the principal’s office to meet him. Felix couldn’t wait for the tiresome visit to be over.

“Excuse me…”

It was then that a small voice spoke up from behind them. Felix and Adrian turned around simultaneously.

A female student with mesmerizing emerald-green eyes stood there, looking up at them.

She was holding a paper labeled “New Members List for the Library Club,” presumably intending to deliver it to Adrian, who was the club president.

Felix suddenly remembered seeing her in the library a few times. Feeling bored, he decided to play a little prank.

Before Adrian could respond, Felix smiled warmly and extended his hand toward her.

“Ah, thank you.”

He waited for her to hand him the list.

But the girl merely stared blankly at his outstretched hand, the paper still in her grasp.

“Um…” she finally murmured hesitantly, lifting her stiffened face to meet his eyes.

“This list is for Adrian, the Library Club President…”

Then she immediately handed the paper to Adrian.

“Hey, cut it out,” Adrian muttered, jabbing Felix in the ribs with his elbow before taking the list.

“Sorry, Lucy. I’ve been so busy with student council work that I’ve ended up making you take on all this extra responsibility, even though I’m the club president.”

Adrian’s words prompted the girl, Lucy, to vigorously shake her head, her face flushing bright red.

“No, not at all! I’m the vice president, after all! And it’s really not a burden.”

“Thanks. I’ll be counting on you going forward,” Adrian replied kindly.

At his gentle tone, Lucy’s face lit up with a radiant smile for the first time.

Felix watched her with wide eyes, astonished.
How the hell did she know?

She wasn’t wearing a name tag, nor was she holding a book with her name on it. Yet she had immediately identified that he wasn’t Adrian.

She had distinguished the twins at a glance.

After handing over the list, Lucy bowed politely to her seniors and left.

“What’s her exact name?” Felix asked, staring at the corner where she had disappeared.

Alec smirked mischievously at him.

“What, Felix? Are you interested?”

Adrian also frowned in exasperation at Felix.

“Don’t even think about it… Lucy is…”

Before Adrian could finish his sentence, Felix raised a hand to stop him.

“Never mind. You don’t have to tell me. I was just asking out of curiosity.”

Felix decided that the girl must have made a lucky guess.

After all, what other explanation could there be?

Even their own parents couldn’t tell them apart at times. How could she possibly have known?
