During the six months she had spent by his side, she had never seen him distracted in class. Even when she arrived, he would ignore her as long as he was doing homework or in the midst of lessons.

Sigrun approached him in delight.

"Ian, here, I bought you a drink." She took out a bottle of mineral water from one of his favorite brands.

"Mmm-hmm, just leave it there."

Before she knew it, Ian retracted his gaze as the distant look he usually had returned. It felt as if the gaze he threw Sigrun earlier was nothing but an illusion, causing her to feel disappointed.

Nonetheless, she quickly regained her composure as if nothing had happened. Taking out her notebook, she planned to do her homework while keeping him company.

Suddenly, someone shouted outside the classroom.

Startled by the voice, Sigrun looked up and noticed that Ian had gotten to his feet and hurried outside.
