Rose navigated through the bustling campus, her mind buzzing with the laughter and conversations shared with her friends. As she entered the psychology building, anticipation for her favorite class heightened. Chan, Minho, Han, Changbin, Felix, Hyunjin, Seungmin, and Jeongin dispersed to their respective classes, leaving Rose to immerse herself in the intriguing world of psychology.

Seated in her usual spot, Rose eagerly listened to the lecture, absorbing every word with enthusiasm. The concepts resonated with her, making the class feel like an intellectual haven. After the engaging session, she packed her belongings and headed towards the astronomy building, where her second favorite class awaited.

However, this time was different. Rose carried a secret, a mystery that clouded her thoughts. She found herself lost in contemplation, trying to unravel the enigma that had become a part of her life.

As she settled into her astronomy class, Felix took the seat beside her, unaware of the turbulence in Rose's mind. His eyes sparkled with curiosity, ready for another round of learning.

Felix: "Hey, Rose! How was psych class?"

Rose: "Amazing, as always. But today's a bit different, Felix."

Felix: "Different? What happened?"

Rose hesitated, the weight of her secret pressing on her. She decided to share a fragment, testing the waters.

Rose: "I stumbled upon something unexpected. Something I can't quite explain yet."

Felix furrowed his brows, intrigued by Rose's cryptic words.

Felix: "Unexpected? Like what?"

Rose: "It's complicated. Let's just say, I have a secret to unravel, and I'm not sure where to begin."

Felix, sensing the seriousness in Rose's tone, leaned in with genuine concern.

Felix: "You know you can talk to me, right? What's going on?"

Rose sighed, appreciating Felix's sincerity.

Rose: "I'll share when I have more clarity. For now, let's focus on astronomy. Maybe the stars hold some answers."

Felix nodded, respecting Rose's decision. Together, they delved into the mysteries of the cosmos, momentarily setting aside the secrets that lingered in the shadows of Rose's mind.

As the astronomy class concluded, Felix and Rose gathered their belongings, their minds still lingering on the cosmic wonders they had just explored. The transition from the lecture hall to the serene atmosphere outside the library was seamless. The gentle breeze rustled the leaves of an old oak tree, inviting them to seek its shade.

Without a word, Rose led Felix towards the inviting spot beneath the oak tree. She reached into her tote bag and pulled out a small blanket, just big enough for both of them to sit on. They settled down, surrounded by the whispers of the wind and the rustling leaves.

Felix: "This is a cozy spot. What's on your mind, Rose?"

Rose took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on the branches above as if searching for answers among the swaying leaves.

Rose: "You remember when I said I stumbled upon something unexpected?"

Felix: "Yeah, you mentioned a secret. What is it?"

Rose hesitated, her fingers absentmindedly playing with the edge of the blanket. With a sigh, she decided to confide in Felix, trusting him with the weight she carried.

Rose: "It's about my family. There's a hidden past, a mystery that's been concealed for years. I found a box of old letters and documents that hint at something significant, something my parents never spoke about."

Felix listened attentively, a mix of concern and curiosity in his eyes.

Felix: "So, what are you going to do about it?"

Rose: "I don't know yet. I need to piece things together, understand the truth. But it's like navigating through a maze of secrets. I thought sharing it with you might help me see things more clearly."

Felix placed a comforting hand on Rose's shoulder.

Felix: "You don't have to face it alone, Rose. We'll figure it out together. Family secrets can be complicated, but you've got support."

Rose managed a grateful smile, appreciating Felix's unwavering support.

Rose: "Thank you, Felix. Knowing I have someone to share this with means a lot."

Under the oak tree's protective branches, Rose and Felix faced the uncertainties ahead, finding solace in each other's company as they began to unravel the intricate threads of Rose's family mystery on top of her explaining the fact she may not be human.
