      "Ahh, so this is Arana," Triton said in a teasing tone as he looked Arana up and down and was greeted with laughter by his friend.

This made Arana a little embarrassed. Why did her seniors make her the object of a joke? Arana rushed to say goodbye and immediately left them. When she wanted to go out again, it turned out that it was pouring rain outside, even though this morning the weather was very sunny and she felt tired. She had to wait for the rain to stop because she didn't bring an umbrella. It had been about thirty minutes since she had waited for the rain to stop, and the campus, which had originally been busy, now had only a few students left.

The rain has let up. She decided to run to the bus stop, but her steps suddenly stopped. Sky seemed to be chasing and balancing her steps while carrying an umbrella that was meant to be used by the two of them.

      "It's raining; just go home with me." Sky spoke without turning toward Arana.

She tried to refuse Sky's invitation kindly, but Sky was still pulling her arm. He opened the car door without waiting for an answer, or he really didn't need her answer. She was confused; she only looked out the window, and Sky only asked about her address. After being answered, there was no further conversation. They only filled it with music from the radio. But wait, he just remembered that her house and Sky are not in the same direction; why would this popular guy bother to take him?

When she arrived at Arana's house, she quickly thanked her and rushed out of the car; the way Sky acted was so unpredictable that she didn't know what she should do other than say thank you.

After that incident, she was often talked about by other students, whether they were classmates or even seniors. It seemed that she was not aware of his position. Sky rejected many beautiful women, but she approached. If she had not agreed and refused Sky that day, perhaps she would not have received negative or other hurtful words. But somehow Arana felt happy---happy that a popular guy on campus wants to take her home. Sky steals glances, follows her from behind, pulls her arm to go home with her, and on several occasions, she intentionally sits in front and eats at one table in the cafeteria. Sky's focus puzzled her; Sky didn't say anything on purpose and seemed to only want to accompany someone who was alone; was this out of pity?

However, this made the issue of Arana spread even more, and she felt even more uncomfortable being the subject of conversation on campus. She tried to weigh whether she should tell Sky not to get close to him by sending a message, but her thoughts were interrupted by her mother, who called and said someone was waiting for her. She was confused about who was looking for her at this time of night. Especially because she had no friend, she quickly came out of the room, but there is Sky, who was sitting in the living room; why did he come?

After they met, her mother left them. Sky invited her to take a walk to the residential garden; she asked herself why she was walking around the residential garden at eight in the evening, but even so, she still followed Sky's words; whatever Sky said, it was hard to refuse. During the trip to the garden, Sky was silent. She remembered that she wanted to talk about Sky's attitude recently. They sat on the garden swing just looking at the moon, and she tried to work up the courage to speak.

      "Sky," said Arana. Sky immediately looked up.

      "Why, just say it; don't be afraid," he said firmly.
