For Your Failed Unrequited Love

Chapter 52

After leaving the library, Lucy headed to the male dormitory. As far as she knew, Adrian had no lessons at this time. She was going to visit him and ask Felix to return the book as soon as possible.

Upon arriving at the male dormitory, Lucy went to the floor, where Adrian and Felix had their rooms, after obtaining a permit from Lauren.

When Lucy arrived at the door, she knocked but there was no answer. The moment she was about to knock one more time, the door burst open.

The two people, who suddenly faced each other with a door between them, opened their eyes wide in surprise at the same time.

Ahmm

Prince Berg, who seemed to have just woken up from his sleep, had disheveled blond hair, looked down at Lucy blankly.

As soon as he saw Lucys face, she saw his eyebrows wriggling and wrinkles form between his eyebrows, it was Felix Berg. Unsurprisingly, another Berg, raised his head slowly from the bed in the room, look to Lucy and said,

Lucy? How did you get in here?

After explaining the situation, Lucy was about to take the overdue books. But the situation went unexpectedly again. Adrian left the room, saying he would have breakfast, only the two of them were left, Felix made another strange request.

Sit down there and wait,

He pointed to the bed where Adrian got up. Then he sat down on the sofa and opened the book.

It was the same situation as yesterday. Whats wrong with him?

Lets just ask first. Is it because of the limosium drug? And what happened in the nurses office Do you remember?

But soon Lucy shook her head.

She doesnt have the courage to speak about it first.

Lucy sat with her shoulders hunched over, looking around for no reason. A school uniform shirt was slung on the head of the bed. Lucy immediately recognized that it was Felixs for the sleeves were curled up. Felix usually rolled up his sleeves without a jacket, and Adrian doesnt roll up his sleeves no matter how hot it was.

On the bedside table were some notes with Felixs name on them.

Oh, this is Felixs bed.

Should I sit somewhere else?

Lucy, who had been troubled, stood up. However, when Felix showed signs of moving through the pages, Lucy was startled and sat down again.

Oh my

Embarrassed Lucy scratched her head. In the silence where neither of them speaks, only the sound of Felixs book flipping could be heard.

Lucy, who was sitting awkwardly, turned to the portrait hanging on the head of the bed. Immediately, Lucys face, recognizing the face in the portrait, showed a glad look. That was Felixs childhood.

There was a portrait of a boy with the same face hanging over Adrians bed, but Lucy could tell right away. The child in the picture shes looking at right now is Felix.

Its because the portrait showed an expression of annoyance like the look on his face when she saw him by the lake when they were a child. 

Its been a long time.

It was a strange thing. She thought it was a face that would gradually fade to a very old memory, but when she saw it again in a portrait, the memory was vividly revived as if she had met him yesterday.

Oh, I really wanted to hit you back then!

Lucy smiled slightly as she remembered the feelings. After secretly confirming that Felix was absorbed in reading, Lucy gave a slight hit to Felixs forehead in the portrait.

Give me the book!

Of course, little Felix, who had been smacked, looked at Lucy with a sullen look without saying a word. Seeing his young face, Lucy felt sorry for no reason and stroked the boys forehead.

Yes, you did nothing wrong. Whats strange is that sunbae who I dont know what hes thinking

Smack!

Lucy, startled by the sound of the book being closed, raised her hand from the painting. When she looked back, Felixs eyes were fixed on her.

take it.

Suddenly, he handed the book he hadnt finished reading. He looked somewhat angry. Lucy slipped out of the bed. Her steps toward Felix were heavier than ever.

Oh, my. I think he saw me smack his head..

She closed her eyes and took the book from Felix. As Lucy left the room, Felix, with a cold look on his face, said to her,

Thats my portrait,

The moment Lucy heard it; she quickly closed the door with a blank face.

Walking along the long corridor as if she were running away, Lucy pulled her hair off. But she cant do anything about it now.

When she thought about how she looked in Felixs view, Lucy was so ashamed that she couldnt raise her face.

Im sure I looked weird.

No, it would have been better if I ended up being considered weird. Having shown a strange attitude toward him since last semester, the thought that he doesnt care made her head cool down.

I really shouldnt run into that sunbae anymore.

Lucy made another promise and ran out of the male dormitory.

* * *

But Felixs action once again exceeded Lucys expectations.

Whenever he met Lucy, he looked at her with persistent eyes, but after he had returned the book, he began to ignore her completely.

It was natural for Felix Berg not to be interested in others, so no one noticed it. But Lucy was convinced.

He was openly ignoring Lucys presence.

As she approaches Adrian for a conversation, he turns his eyes away deliberately. He could hear her voice, but he didnt even raise his head. Sometimes he just left his seat.

Lucy was only confused by his actions.

You make people wait right next to you because of an overdue book, and now you treat them like invisible people?

Were you really displeased when I gave you a smack?

Lucy pouted and grumbled.

Oh, I didnt really hit you. I just did it on the painting.

* * *

Lucy, who was a little depressed because she was treated as an invisible person without knowing why, even lost her mind during the Literature Night. She had so many things to prepare that he had no time to worry about anything else.

Unlike in her first year, she had a partner and needed some nice dress for the ball after the poetry recital and accessories and hair styles.

There was more than one thing to prepare.

In the meantime, Colin decided to escort her. He said, How about a dress? Just wear anything, that made Lucy upset.

No matter how close they were to each other, Lucy was annoyed by his manner in which he seemed to be not interested at all, regardless of comfort. What was more unbearable was that Felix Berg suddenly came to her mind for some reason.

A few days ago, he openly applied as a partner for a very beautiful girl named Ros Millard, a third-year student at the library.

It has been a long time since the entire Academy had a rumor that he, who was not interested in relationships, begged Ros Millard to be his partner was circulating around the campus. 

Of course, Lucy was there, too. She saw it clearly with her own eyes.

In fact, that morning, Lucy had just heard a rumor that third-year seniors were talking about in the dormitory. It was rumored that Ros Millard would ask the prince of Berg to be her partner. 

The moment Lucy heard it, she frowned unconsciously.

Prince of Berg? Which one? Which of the two do you mean?

From that moment on, Lucys face was filled with impatience.

When Adrian and Felix appeared in the library, Lucy did not think of leaving even though she had already finished her library work.

Does Ros Millard want Felix to be his partner? But Felix doesnt seem to be interested in such events. He didnt attend last year either. I think hell probably refuse even if she asks him.

No, Ros Millard is cool. Maybe hell say yes, this time.

Her thoughts continued one after another. Lucys face, fiddling with invitations in her pockets, was already crumpled.

Thats right. You have to be Ross partner.

Then the door of the library burst open, and Ros Millard with charming red hair appeared. Lucy watched her walk to the Berg twins with great tension. And fortunately, it was Adrian who Ros to be her partner.

Whew!

Lucy swept her heart. At that moment, she didnt know why she was relieved, Ros didnt seem interested in Felix anyway.

As she was very nervous, a sense of relief suddenly came, her whole body relaxed. Lucy sighed again, supporting herself on the bookshelf.

It was then.

Why dont you come with me, Ros?

Lucy raised her head suddenly. Her eyes went straight to Felix. But what she heard was not auditory hallucination. Apparently, Felix Berg had asked Ros Millard to be his partner.

A storm of disappointment swept through Lucys heart, which had been filled with relief just now. She felt frustrated like something was stuck in the corner of her heart.

The voice that had asked Ros to be his partner seemed to ring in Lucys ears until the evening of the night of literature. Lucys expression, standing in front of the mirror in her dress, became sullen. But at once she shook her head and shook off her thoughts. She didnt want to be depressed because of her sunbae anymore.

The important thing for Lucy now was, Is the dress she prepared really well-equipped enough not to be laughed at?

Today, Lucy stood in front of the mirror, not at her desk, and agonized for a long time. She looked at her plain beige dress with a very awkward face. She had been to a ball so many times but she could still not judge whether the dress she was wearing now was suitable for her.

Theres nothing wrong with it, Lucy,

Jemima, who saw her worried face, said in her dress.

Your dress is all right. Its so uncharacteristic that there cant be any strange parts. By the way, did I gain weight on my waist?

Jemima, who was wearing a tight, sensual dress, murmured with a surprised look.

Why is it so tight?

She struggled to pull up the narrow dress.

Who would wear this so small?

Rita quickly approached and helped Jemima pull her dress.

After a long pause in front of the mirror, the three were ready. Jemima and Rita, who have been to many parties, were immersed in their appearance, standing in front of the mirror, perhaps because they were used to their dress. However, no matter how much Lucy looked at herself, she felt awkward.

Lucy, youre not going to go in those shoes, are you? asked Rita, pointing to Lucys black shoes. They were the shoes that Lucy usually wears in her school uniform.

Well

Jemima and Rita were astonished when Lucy, who could not answer no, hesitated.

Oh, my Shoes and dresses are completely separate!

Rita disappeared out of the room for a moment, and soon appeared with a box.

Come on, Ill lend you this, Jemimas feet are too big for you, so wear mine.

She opened the box with white shoes that seemed to go very well with Lucys dress. Lucy took off her black shoes and tried on the shoes that Rita had brought. It was a little big, but there was no problem walking.

Wow, thank you!

Lucy said as she looked in the mirror, she had become quite cool with Ritas shoes. The tiredness she felt for the past few days, which had been hectic preparing for the event, seemed to be gone completely.

Lucy touched her hair for the last time. All she had to do was go out.

All I have to do is have fun with Colin.

Besides, he said that he would be announcing a poem he wrote himself, so she has to support him hard. Lucy left the room with excitement.
