Dearil's POV
Two years have passed since the day I met Aiden.
I don't know why, but from the very first moment we met, he hasn't stopped bothering me.
Even now, during class break, he came all the way from his classroom—two floors above mine—just to sit with me and talk.
Well, to be honest, he's the only one talking. I just keep doing my own thing, whether it's reading a book or taking a nap.
But still… I don't understand.
In all my previous lives, I never met Aiden. Why is he here now, and why won't he leave me alone in this life?
At first, I thought maybe we had met in a past life and I just forgot.
But if that's true, why is he bothering me so much now?
He even transferred schools just to be with me.
But it doesn't really matter anymore. Somehow, I've already gotten used to him.
I was reading a new thriller book when Aiden suddenly touched my hair and leaned close to my face.
"Dearil, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? You look like you've been running all day and now you're about to pass out!"
Yeah… he was right.
I haven't been feeling well since this morning.
It feels like my head is going to explode, but after all my past deaths, I've learned to handle pain.
"I'm okay. Don't worry," I said, my eyes starting to close a little.
"Dearil, you're not okay! Let me take you to the nurse, or I swear I'll keep bothering you all day! I'll even call your parents and ask if i can stay at your place!"
No! Anything but that!
The last time he came to my house, he didn't stop touching me.
Holding my hand, hugging me while I was sitting or sleeping… it was unbearable.
"Okay, okay! I'll go to the nurse," I sighed.
"Wonderful! Come on!" Aiden said, and without warning, he picked me up in his arms like a princess and started walking to the nurse's office.
"Hey! Let me go! I can walk by myself!"
"I can't let you go alone. What if you collapse on the way? I'd rather carry you and have you yell at me than risk you getting hurt."
I sighed again.
There was no hope. He wasn't going to let me go.
I stayed silent, letting him carry me.
As we walked, I noticed some girls were staring at me and whispering.
I already knew what that was about.
Ever since Aiden transferred to this school and started visiting me during every class break, all the girls began to hate me.
They said I was stealing all of Aiden's attention.
Aiden never talked to them. Every time someone tried to approach him, he completely ignored her.
But honestly, I didn't care what the girls thought.
I preferred not to talk to anyone anyway.
I still remember my promise to live my life alone.
The only obstacle to that plan is Aiden.
But I believe that one day, he'll get tired of me, he'll forget me, and I'll finally be alone.
For some reason, the boys in my class already avoid me.
So, without Aiden, I'll be completely alone.
I just need to wait a little longer.
We finally reached the nurse's office.
Aiden gently laid me on the bed and went to speak with the nurse.
I couldn't hear what they were saying.
I was so exhausted that the moment he put me down, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Aiden's POV
From the very first day I met Dearil, something about him pulled me in.
I even transferred schools just to spend more time with him.
I still don't know why I feel this way.
Well… he's cute, beautiful, smart, and when he gets angry at me for annoying him, I just can't stop hugging him.
He's so damn cute that I can't help myself.
After two years, he's already used to me.
That's great—I can follow him everywhere now!
Today, as usual, I came to his class during break.
When I sat near him, I noticed he didn't look well.
Even though he was still cute, something was off.
I took him to the nurse's office and laid him gently on the bed.
I explained everything to the nurse.
When we came back to check on him, we saw that he was already asleep.
Ahh, he's just too cute… I just want to hug him tightly and never let him go.
"Hmm, seems like he fell asleep. I'll check his condition anyway. You can return to your class now, Aiden," the nurse said.
"Nurse, can I stay with him? I'm really worried," I said, looking at her with big, pitiful eyes. "Pleaseee."
"Ah, fine. Yes, you can stay."
I immediately sat down on a chair next to Dearil's bed and rested my head beside his sleeping body.
