    That night, I couldn’t go back to my room. I spent a sleepless night in a corner of the dormitory’s shared bathroom. I thought no one would find me here. I closed my eyes and exhaled. In my imagination, Evan came at me. In my imagination, Evan loomed over me. With the sound of water droplets falling in rhythm, my outerwear slid down, and Evan, kissing me as if he would devour me, smiled innocently.a278c3fc5ea39d3d

    The long-forgotten stimulation had been unbearably intense. Living in the dormitory with Evan, I hadn’t even had the chance to relieve my desires. And now, kissing someone I liked—it wasn’t strange that my body had reacted instantly.8e3b586d7eb4ea0e

    The thought that I, in Hyle Verde’s body, was imagining something like this—especially about Evan—filled me with a sense of depravity. In the original story, I had tried to escape the role of a possessive top, and yet here 4386f8ae18 I was, doing something e5675d7eed like this.6e4ee3b0bc8d5d59

    To snap out 5e6fde4397 of my thoughts, 396f9d4d8d I splashed cold f5a910538a water on my 7423655be9 face. The reflection in the f4b042afed sink mirror was miserable. My body dc0324c131 was still 96d5f8ccb0 as solid 8214ffb474 as ever, a49a083cfb but the 2e5b93bbcf dark circles 79be5f7e20 under my 64bc07107e eyes from 452a987084 a sleepless c3ac745edf night made ec7e07e5fc me look f74db0d299 gaunt, and 436ba559e1 my face 2cb2323a8b was flushed. Even my once-proud, dazzling 46395825df silver hair looked dry 0b374c5b90 and lifeless.1f71f930a4de25ee

    More than anything, I a1c73c290f had no idea how 6e559938fb I was supposed to 498e06df1a face Evan tomorrow. I let out a d300cba5a7 deep sigh and curled 2e097a402d up on the cold fadfa53e67 tile floor. Clasping my icy fingertips c6e0180997 together, I wished that 7023b72813 the chilly breeze from 6fdf5cccd1 the open window would e4be572479 cool the heat surging 8ee8aef2b1 through me.a98e8e562474264a

    Carmen’s question barely registered as I numbly shook my head and chewed on a mouthful of vegetables. Carmen jabbed at his salad with a fork. After picking up and putting down lettuce several times, he frowned and set the fork down.76007a3ecf4acb8e

    Ignoring her childish 58d70cdcbe complaint, I silently 62242c4b6c swallowed my salad. Meat would have ee78180fc4 been a disaster—I 152c2f67a4 could barely digest 4c30e03774 this as it 7b51641e68 was. Struggling to force the 1b766b969c food down, I stiffened 9841789c05 when Carmen mentioned Evan e176cf7c7d again.ab0224ca087b6938

    I shook my head again without a word. I didn’t want to think about Evan, but hearing his name first thing in the morning stirred up the turmoil I had barely managed to suppress. I quietly put down my fork, feeling like I might be sick.91cbc64347e8341b

    But more b62c382879 than anything, b7aa56a96e I was f92dda263d worried about 0ab5685cc0 seeing Evan b6048769b3 in class 6377e96dba later. The mere thought of 167448998f sitting next to him fd02d32b02 made my head throb. Carmen lightly 96c328d0bb nudged me e90f164304 with his 6569266f1b elbow, but 4e6c3b5d47 my body 88c4d33ec5 swayed far 8c6e06f0d3 more than 66b6db2d0d it should 573fe824d1 have.

    At that moment, a bedc874124 pale, delicate hand appeared a8a4d072a7 from behind me. The cold touch 7c701953b2 against my forehead 62bb5a346e made me flinch.4c6f591e1cc8b623

    His breath grazed the back of my neck, sending a shiver down my spine. Of all the voices I didn’t want to hear right now, it had to be his. I turned my head slightly—his familiar profile was right there, far too close.5436a03e4df07e82

    Evan, who had e392a16085 wrapped his arms 23ea00f56b around me from a8e8765646 behind, made me 7977d50768 conscious of my 42437a17aa lips. I swallowed dryly.17099d9b59be88d7

    Carmen, still stiff from Evan’s unexpected appearance, hurriedly nodded. But in my hazy state, I couldn’t keep up with the conversation. Before I could process anything, Evan had already helped me up and was pulling me along by the wrist.bf8647637ea53f09

    The cool outside air 5bfafb2f52 sobered me up slightly, bf9d726efd and it finally dawned 8d8c3be392 on me what Evan 2c60815786 had just said.eac4ce2504abf244

    That would d9636c080c only make 20a943a60c things worse. Just thinking about being b569635af6 alone with him made ba2adc7101 my body temperature rise. Evan, unaware of my 7c944abdbf turmoil, firmly insisted that b8830373a2 he would take care 39714c5656 of me. I had no confidence 6476dfd62e that I could handle 25b9e961b8 being alone with him.

    Evan slowly 139f06d3c9 turned to 728432518b face me. As his face 6046e55ecd was revealed, unease fe5c7dd9b1 washed over me. He was smiling 2d704db46a as brightly as 66e2e24c24 ever. Warm sunlight bathed 31d87a9fa5 his figure, making 58374d1c8f his expression seem ed49ba3645 out of place, 7074b4c64d given the eerie 736015044f tone he had fe26e9bf12 just used.

His grip 754e72ad47 on my 724c0d1cd3 wrist tightened. Even with that picturesque cbc3c80907 smile, his eyes were b9afe8d09f filled with something indescribably b761902851 dark and clinging.91b527ac44f733cb

    As I trembled 33b82c795e with shame, there ae14418ec8 was no response 4132d9b3f0 from Evan. Curious, I 22b1ca3aa1 peeked up 8b7a5aa65b and saw bb9b78485e him absentmindedly 24c0202617 touching his 07d641bb27 lips.279153ac0d09d420

    His murmured words were clear as day. Sure, Hyle Verde looked like the type to fool around. And in the original story, he did live a debauched life, but…! Somehow, I felt a bit wronged.eb405b3ee8468e58

    Evan silently f260988c5f traced his b2e1797691 lips for 4cb78b1ce8 a while. He remained standing there ba196274cd vacantly until I called f664bc7e85 his name, then covered 02195b942b his mouth with one 070abe13ff hand.79228d98992ede0f

    Through the gaps between 4163ac496e his slender fingers, I bed8f93948 saw his lips curl 2c8c395277 into a faint, awkward 44633c808a smile—something unusual for Evan.d22509016cbf42bb

    Instead of 1be7456e60 gripping my 94059696ac wrist tightly, 4dabb53548 he gently 08d7580c02 took my 13f3781906 hand in 08edc0adef his.
