For Your Failed Unrequited Love

Chapter 53

In front of the female dormitory, many boys were already waiting to escort their partners. Jemima and Rita disappeared towards their partner after saying goodbye to Lucy. 

Lucy looked around to find Colin, too.

Hmm,

Then, Lucy met someones eyes, she held her breath without realizing it. It was Felix.

It was unfamiliar but fascinating to see him in a black suit and with his blonde hair hanging over his forehead without any disruption. Somehow his sharp expression made him look even more mysterious and beautiful.

The girls who were standing next to her forgot their partners and were busy looking at him.  Felix looked displeased, but when his eyes met Lucys, he looked surprised. 

In recent days, whenever he encounters Lucy, he immediately turns away or walks away from her. But at that moment, he stared blankly at Lucy with his big eyes. He seemed unable to even take his eyes off her. 

Lucy turned around in a hurry. A short distance away, Colin was waiting for her.

Collin!

She quickly approached him. Lucy caught Colin by the arm.

Lets go,

She thought it would be better to leave this place quickly and go to the library. Just then, the students looked up the stairs and began to buzz at once. Lucy and Colin stopped and looked up at the murmur.

There stood a girl dressed in a white dress with her red hair beautifully styled. It was Rose Millard. The moment she saw her, Lucys mouth opened wide.

Wow! Shes so beautiful.

She was like a rose blooming in the snow. The students looked up at her with a fascinated look on their faces. Ros did not feel burdened by such a gaze at all, but rather walked down the stairs in a dignified manner.

When Ros found Felix, she stopped. She seemed to be waiting for Felix to come up to her first and reach out his hand. But Felix was looking at the wrong place as if he were distracted. Seeing that he was still at the end of his gaze, Lucy felt her heart throbbing.

Waiting for Felixs escort, Ros glared at him with a displeased face and approached his back.

Soon, Felix and Rose exchanged a few words, arguing about something. After a while, Ros, who had quickly erased her expression of dissatisfaction from her face, began to walk with her arms folded against Felix.

Lucy also went to the library with Colin as her escort.

She had never worn high heels before, so her steps kept creaking. In addition, Collin, who was excited to perform his own poem tonight, walked without even thinking about his partners pace, so Lucy almost fell down several times.

What made her own awkward and ridiculous gait even more embarrassing was that Felix and Ros were walking right behind her.

Lucy didnt have to look back to see how elegant and skillful Ros Millards dress was and how well she walked.

Lucy unconsciously compared herself to Ros.

How funny would it be to look at Ross graceful steps and a girl walking poorly like me?

Lucy tried to get rid of such useless worries. She didnt want to ruin the night with all her depressing thoughts. Moreover, today was the day where her dear friend will present his own poem in front of many people. Rather than being sullen, she should have cheered and encouraged Colin.

Lucy and Colin deliberately laughed and chatted and tried to change their mood. Fortunately, perhaps thanks to Colins cooperation, Lucy was feeling much brighter by the time she arrived in front of the library building.

Lucy and Colin entered the library hall where the Literature Night would take place. Adrian and several other book club members, who decided to focus on the event without a partner, had finished preparing to host the event.

Adrians readiness was impeccable. The event was as perfect as flowing water, and everyone who attended the literary night fell into a lyrical and deep autumn night.

In particular, when Rose Millard came up to the stage and sang The Golden Queen in a rich voice, the atmosphere seemed to be reaching its peak.

She had as good a tone and singing ability as an opera singer.

I cant believe I can listen to this kind of song without paying.

Lucy exclaimed. But apart from her pure admiration, there was a slight tingling in her heart. The more she shone, the smaller she felt herself. She had no idea why she kept comparing herself to Ros, who had nothing to do with her.

and why she cares so much about one person.

Lucy inadvertently turned to the table where Felix was sitting.

Oh

Her body stiffened. Felix was looking at her. Not his partner, Ros, but Lucy herself.

Lucy turned away in a hurry. Her heart beat fast. She couldnt understand his behavior. At one time, he completely ignored her, and now he looks at her for no apparent reason.

She couldnt figure out what he was thinking.

* * *

All the presentations are over. Cheerful music has now begun to flow through the hall where the atmosphere has been reversed. People flocked out to the center of the hall.

The most excited person was Colin. After completing his successful self-written poem presentation, he seemed to be in a very good mood, but Lucy was very upset because he kept trying to lead her out to the center of the dance hall. Furthermore, after drinking the apple cider he handed her to relax, her face heated up.

Lucy was too tired to handle Colin, who seemed to have exploded with energy. She left the hall on the pretext of filling the table with cider.

Whoa,

Lucy took a deep breath and spat it out. The autumn air was quite cold. Breathing in the cold air made her frustrated heart feel refreshed. But shes glad the presentation ended safely.

Lucy thought as she found a box of cider in the warehouse.

She felt proud that the efforts of the book club members seemed to shine. Now that the ball was almost over, she thought she could go back to the dormitory and sleep comfortably.

Lucy, who was pulling out the box, turned her head, thinking that she should do her best to make it a great event until the end. It was then she heard a movement behind her back.

Lucy narrowed her eyes and looked at the man standing in front of her. At that moment, when she saw a vision of Felix, she thought it was because she was just too tired. Her heart beat like crazy then she started to feel nauseous. 

But Felix, who she thought was just a hallucination, walked into the warehouse.

There was an awkward silence between the two who found each other.

As quiet as it was, there were a few breathtaking conversations. Felix found a wound on Lucys heel, and he even added a questionable request to sit down for a while.

Lucys face gradually heated up and her mind went blank. Lucy, who would normally flee before him, sat beside him in a bewildered mood.

Unlike her heart that couldnt calm down and beat rapidly, her eyelids became heavier and heavier.

He seemed to be talking to her. It was probably about shoes. Lucy shook her feet as he told her to take off her shoes and set them aside.

Why am I so sleepy?

She strained her eyelids to keep her eyes open.

But it didnt work. Her whole body drooped like wet cotton. The heaviest of them all was her eyelids.

Eventually Lucy closed her eyes, unable to overcome the rush of sleep.

* * *

Lucy opened her eyes softly to the noise of the birds.

The morning sun pouring out of the window was so bright that it was burning her eyes.

Are you up now?

She heard Jemimas voice.

She approached Lucy with a strange look on her face. There was something unusual about the secret smile hanging from the corners of her mouth. Usually, Jemima shows such a smile when she finds something surprising and interesting to gossip about.

Lucy sat up from bed, pressing down on her dizzy head.

Why am I here? Im sure I was at the librarys warehouse.

She remembers going to the warehouse to get some cider, and sitting next to Felix. But her memory after that was suddenly cut off.

How did I How did I get back here?

Dont you remember? Felix-sunbae carried you on his back.

What?

Lucys face went white.

Who? Who carried me on his back?

She asked again, hoping that what she had just heard was wrong. But Jemima broke her wind and answered with an excited look.

Felix-sunbae! I heard you fell asleep after being alone with him at the warehouse yesterday. Because of the wine Colin gave you! Thats why he brought you here!

plop

Lucy fell back on the bed.

What, tell me in detail!

Jemima jumped into Lucys side and shook her wildly.

Huh? Since when have you been so close? What did you do in the warehouse yesterday?

However, Lucy did not respond to Jemimas question. She just stared at the ceiling with a stunned face.

What kind of shame is this? And in front of Felix Berg, not the others.

Lucys pale face was turning blue now.

Im not going to school today.

Jemima, who heard Lucy muttering absent-mindedly, pretended to be exaggeratedly surprised and checked out the window.

Strangely, the sun rose in the east.

She came up to Lucy again and forced her to rise. Lucy had no choice but to get up from her seat and get ready for the class.

Just as she was leaving the female dormitory, someone called her.

Lucy!
