Just like in the webtoon, it's already Monday.

I look worse than I did back then. My eyes literally have dark circles underneath, obviously implying my lack of sleep. Just a few more and I'll look like I got double black eye.

Since Cloudy is sentient, it's not easy to send it back. I had a lot of explaining to do, from simple do's and dont's.

But the reason I still woke up and went to class is because he'll be back.

"You seem rather tired."

A familiar voice awakened my tired self, making me snap my neck at his direction. "We are at that age...where we spend many a sleepless night."

Kuja stood by the classroom door, posing as if he's a model promoting a...door frame.

Anyways, he got new glasses, and there's a huge white bandage on his right cheek with several small bandaids on other parts of his face.

I stood up in joy and relief, seeing him fine actually boosted my energy today. "Kuja! How are you now?! What did the doctor say?! Are you still hurting anywhere?!"

"Nothing is broken." He walked towards his seat, adjusting his glasses by pushing it up as usual. "It could very well be that my hardened muscles managed to protect my bones from damage."

That sounds suspicious, but then again, it could be true. If nothing is broken, then I'll just believe it, but...

If not his bones, did his head get damaged instead? He stood there with a weird smile, a hand clenched into a fist and positioned to his chest.

"What's gotten into you this time?" I questioned, crossing my arms carefully as to not mess up the bandages.

He didn't respond at all, as if he's too fixated with whatever daydream he's currently having. Looking up, I followed his gaze and looked up as well. What is he spectating at?

"The fuck are you looking up at the ceiling for?" Did he—oh wait. I blinked, recalling what happened to him at route A.

I almost forgot about Jihyeon Lee!

Glancing back to him, I dramatically covered my mouth, teary-eyed. I can't believe how fast time flies by. "Wow, so this is love. Kuja's finally becoming a man."

The door slid open again, making me turn around to see Chaerin entering this time. "Oh, you're not late today?"

She flinched after hearing my question, a blush suddenly formed in her face. Before I can even blink or process what's about to happen, a hand flew straight to my face. "Fuck!"

[System]
Master! Please!
[1 Hit]

What the—this is the first time I'm seeing that card getting triggered again. But that card aside, I can't believe I received a Chaerin exclusive slap this early as a good morning paired with a crispy curse word.
