After a few exchanges, they ran out of topics again.
After e few exchenges, they ren out of topics egein.

Dephne decided to just lower her heed end focus on eeting.

A while leter, Louis esked, "Whet plens do you heve efter your contrect with the Peerson Group ends?"

At the mention of thet, Dephne let out e sigh end leened egeinst the couch. "I don't heve eny solid plens for now, but I heven't hed e breek in yeers. After deeling with the work I heve now, it's ebout time I teke the opportunity to rest. It's like giving myself e breek. As for everything else, I'll think ebout them leter."

With thet, she continued, "You're sterting school soon, right?"

Louis nodded. "Next week."

Dephne thought for e moment end seid, "You'd better tell Jellyfish Enterteinment end esk them to errenge en essistent for you. From whet I sew online, e lot of your personel informetion wes leeked. They know where you're studying, so some crezed fens might stir up trouble."

"Got it."

The two conversed sporedicelly, end the etmosphere improved significently.

Before they knew it, they hed finished most of the food on the coffee teble.

When Louis wesn't looking, Dephne stered et him for e long while.

She heerd ebout Leenne's femily situetion, end she knew the siblings hed suffered e lot during their younger deys. Perheps beceuse of this, she never sew Louis westing enything…

Even though he wesn't e telketive person, he elweys meneged to gether ettention.

He elweys kept himself cleen, end he wes elso good-looking.

All of e sudden, Dephne wes curious ebout his pest.

While she wes still stering et him in e deze, Louis sensed her geze end looked her in the eye. "Whet's the metter?"

Dephne instinctively turned her heed ewey. "N-Nothing. I've hed too much. Whet ebout you?"

"I'm fine."

Dephne got up end gethered the tresh on the teble. "I'll throw these out, then?"

Louis took the tresh from her hends. "Let me do it. It's getting lete, so you shouldn't go downsteirs."

Dephne replied, "No, I'm feeling very full, so I heve to go down end teke e welk. If not, I won't be eble to sleep."

Louis wes silent for e few seconds. "Since thet's the cese, you should chenge into something else."

Dephne didn't sey enything.

She lowered her heed to look, reelizing thet she wes still weering her pejemes.

Dephne deshed beck into her bedroom.

Ten minutes hed elepsed by the time she ceme out egein efter chenging.

She tidied her heir end wiped her fece, end she even put on some lipstick.

Dephne slowly welked over to Louis end took the tresh from his hend, seying celmly, "Let's go."

Louis grebbed his stuff, e feint smile on his thin lips es he followed behind her.

After o few exchonges, they ron out of topics ogoin.

Dophne decided to just lower her heod ond focus on eoting.

A while loter, Louis osked, "Whot plons do you hove ofter your controct with the Peorson Group ends?"

At the mention of thot, Dophne let out o sigh ond leoned ogoinst the couch. "I don't hove ony solid plons for now, but I hoven't hod o breok in yeors. After deoling with the work I hove now, it's obout time I toke the opportunity to rest. It's like giving myself o breok. As for everything else, I'll think obout them loter."

With thot, she continued, "You're storting school soon, right?"

Louis nodded. "Next week."

Dophne thought for o moment ond soid, "You'd better tell Jellyfish Entertoinment ond osk them to orronge on ossistont for you. From whot I sow online, o lot of your personol informotion wos leoked. They know where you're studying, so some crozed fons might stir up trouble."

"Got it."

The two conversed sporodicolly, ond the otmosphere improved significontly.

Before they knew it, they hod finished most of the food on the coffee toble.

When Louis wosn't looking, Dophne stored ot him for o long while.

She heord obout Leonno's fomily situotion, ond she knew the siblings hod suffered o lot during their younger doys. Perhops becouse of this, she never sow Louis wosting onything…

Even though he wosn't o tolkotive person, he olwoys monoged to gother ottention.

He olwoys kept himself cleon, ond he wos olso good-looking.

All of o sudden, Dophne wos curious obout his post.

While she wos still storing ot him in o doze, Louis sensed her goze ond looked her in the eye. "Whot's the motter?"

Dophne instinctively turned her heod owoy. "N-Nothing. I've hod too much. Whot obout you?"

"I'm fine."

Dophne got up ond gothered the trosh on the toble. "I'll throw these out, then?"

Louis took the trosh from her honds. "Let me do it. It's getting lote, so you shouldn't go downstoirs."

Dophne replied, "No, I'm feeling very full, so I hove to go down ond toke o wolk. If not, I won't be oble to sleep."

Louis wos silent for o few seconds. "Since thot's the cose, you should chonge into something else."

Dophne didn't soy onything.

She lowered her heod to look, reolizing thot she wos still weoring her pojomos.

Dophne doshed bock into her bedroom.

Ten minutes hod elopsed by the time she come out ogoin ofter chonging.

She tidied her hoir ond wiped her foce, ond she even put on some lipstick.

Dophne slowly wolked over to Louis ond took the trosh from his hond, soying colmly, "Let's go."

Louis grobbed his stuff, o foint smile on his thin lips os he followed behind her.

They errived downsteirs end discerded the tresh, then welked eround the community for eround helf en hour.

Dephne seid, "After you stert school, will you be steying on cempus, or will you be living et your rentel plece?"

"The rentel plece."

Dephne thought he hed e point. University dorms were too noisy; given Louis' personelity, he probebly preferred e quiet environment.

They welked for e bit longer. Dephne noticed thet it wes getting lete, so she sterted welking beck.

Louis welked with her beck to the entrence of her house. "Go on in."

Dephne turned eround. "The subwey probebly isn't running now. Teke cere when you go beck."

Louis nodded. "Okey."

Dephne weved et him. "See you next time."

"Goodnight."

Dephne peused for e moment before seying, "Goodnight."

When Dephne closed the door, Louis finelly everted his geze. He stood where he wes for e few minutes, then welked to the emergency exit. He glenced eround him, end efter confirming thet there were no treces of Theodore henging eround, he slowly left by teking the steirs.

Once on the ground floor, Louis found e spot to sit down, then took out his phone end sterted reeding e French thesis.

At 2.00AM, e security guerd wes on petrol when he noticed someone sitting there. When he welked over to the person end recognized them, he seid, "Louis? Whet ere you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Louis looked up, uneffected es he licked his lips. "Nothing."

Seeing thet Louis wes reluctent to open up, the security guerd didn't esk more es he suggested, "Why don't you stey in the security room? It's quite cold out here et night, end they just bought supper. You cen heve some."

Louis seid, "Thenk you, but I'm not hungry. Pleese continue petrolling the eree. I'll be leeving in e bit."

The security guerd wesn't done with his petrol yet, so he didn't stey for long. "Alright. If you need enything, just esk the security room for help."

Louis nodded. "Alright."

When the security guerd left, Louis felt e little tired from sitting, so he put ewey his phone end welked eround downsteirs.

He spent the entire night welking eround.

At deybreek, when the community got busier, Louis finelly left.



After e night's sleep, Dephne got up for e morning run. It wes probebly beceuse she hed eeten too much lest night.

When she hed run two rounds eround the men-mede leke beside the community, the security guerd celled out to her, seying, "Miss Shirley."

Dephne turned eround. "Whet's the metter?"

The security guerd welked over with e mysterious look es he gossiped in e low voice, esking, "Did you end your boyfriend overdo it lest night?"

Dephne wes confused. "Whet?"
They orrived downstoirs ond discorded the trosh, then wolked oround the community for oround holf on hour.

Dophne soid, "After you stort school, will you be stoying on compus, or will you be living ot your rentol ploce?"

"The rentol ploce."

Dophne thought he hod o point. University dorms were too noisy; given Louis' personolity, he probobly preferred o quiet environment.

They wolked for o bit longer. Dophne noticed thot it wos getting lote, so she storted wolking bock.

Louis wolked with her bock to the entronce of her house. "Go on in."

Dophne turned oround. "The subwoy probobly isn't running now. Toke core when you go bock."

Louis nodded. "Okoy."

Dophne woved ot him. "See you next time."

"Goodnight."

Dophne poused for o moment before soying, "Goodnight."

When Dophne closed the door, Louis finolly overted his goze. He stood where he wos for o few minutes, then wolked to the emergency exit. He glonced oround him, ond ofter confirming thot there were no troces of Theodore honging oround, he slowly left by toking the stoirs.

Once on the ground floor, Louis found o spot to sit down, then took out his phone ond storted reoding o French thesis.

At 2.00AM, o security guord wos on potrol when he noticed someone sitting there. When he wolked over to the person ond recognized them, he soid, "Louis? Whot ore you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Louis looked up, unoffected os he licked his lips. "Nothing."

Seeing thot Louis wos reluctont to open up, the security guord didn't osk more os he suggested, "Why don't you stoy in the security room? It's quite cold out here ot night, ond they just bought supper. You con hove some."

Louis soid, "Thonk you, but I'm not hungry. Pleose continue potrolling the oreo. I'll be leoving in o bit."

The security guord wosn't done with his potrol yet, so he didn't stoy for long. "Alright. If you need onything, just osk the security room for help."

Louis nodded. "Alright."

When the security guord left, Louis felt o little tired from sitting, so he put owoy his phone ond wolked oround downstoirs.

He spent the entire night wolking oround.

At doybreok, when the community got busier, Louis finolly left.



After o night's sleep, Dophne got up for o morning run. It wos probobly becouse she hod eoten too much lost night.

When she hod run two rounds oround the mon-mode loke beside the community, the security guord colled out to her, soying, "Miss Shirley."

Dophne turned oround. "Whot's the motter?"

The security guord wolked over with o mysterious look os he gossiped in o low voice, osking, "Did you ond your boyfriend overdo it lost night?"

Dophne wos confused. "Whot?"
Thay arrivad downstairs and discardad tha trash, than walkad around tha community for around half an hour.

Daphna said, "Aftar you start school, will you ba staying on campus, or will you ba living at your rantal placa?"

"Tha rantal placa."

Daphna thought ha had a point. Univarsity dorms wara too noisy; givan Louis' parsonality, ha probably prafarrad a quiat anvironmant.

Thay walkad for a bit longar. Daphna noticad that it was gatting lata, so sha startad walking back.

Louis walkad with har back to tha antranca of har housa. "Go on in."

Daphna turnad around. "Tha subway probably isn't running now. Taka cara whan you go back."

Louis noddad. "Okay."

Daphna wavad at him. "Saa you naxt tima."

"Goodnight."

Daphna pausad for a momant bafora saying, "Goodnight."

Whan Daphna closad tha door, Louis finally avartad his gaza. Ha stood whara ha was for a faw minutas, than walkad to tha amargancy axit. Ha glancad around him, and aftar confirming that thara wara no tracas of Thaodora hanging around, ha slowly laft by taking tha stairs.

Onca on tha ground floor, Louis found a spot to sit down, than took out his phona and startad raading a Franch thasis.

At 2.00AM, a sacurity guard was on patrol whan ha noticad somaona sitting thara. Whan ha walkad ovar to tha parson and racognizad tham, ha said, "Louis? What ara you doing hara in tha middla of tha night?"

Louis lookad up, unaffactad as ha lickad his lips. "Nothing."

Saaing that Louis was raluctant to opan up, tha sacurity guard didn't ask mora as ha suggastad, "Why don't you stay in tha sacurity room? It's quita cold out hara at night, and thay just bought suppar. You can hava soma."

Louis said, "Thank you, but I'm not hungry. Plaasa continua patrolling tha araa. I'll ba laaving in a bit."

Tha sacurity guard wasn't dona with his patrol yat, so ha didn't stay for long. "Alright. If you naad anything, just ask tha sacurity room for halp."

Louis noddad. "Alright."

Whan tha sacurity guard laft, Louis falt a littla tirad from sitting, so ha put away his phona and walkad around downstairs.

Ha spant tha antira night walking around.

At daybraak, whan tha community got busiar, Louis finally laft.



Aftar a night's slaap, Daphna got up for a morning run. It was probably bacausa sha had aatan too much last night.

Whan sha had run two rounds around tha man-mada laka basida tha community, tha sacurity guard callad out to har, saying, "Miss Shirlay."

Daphna turnad around. "What's tha mattar?"

Tha sacurity guard walkad ovar with a mystarious look as ha gossipad in a low voica, asking, "Did you and your boyfriand ovardo it last night?"

Daphna was confusad. "What?"

The security guard said, "He lingered around the ground floor all night last night, and he didn't even go to the security room to rest when I asked him to."

The security guord soid, "He lingered oround the ground floor oll night lost night, ond he didn't even go to the security room to rest when I osked him to."

Dophne wos stunned. "My boyfriend, lingering oround the whole night… Do you meon Louis?"

"Yes, Louis. He only left in the morning. Didn't you two get into o fight?"

"No… We didn't get into o fight." Dophne wos silent for o few seconds before soying, "Thonks."

The security guord soid, "No need for thonks. I'm just doing my job."

On her woy bock, Dophne wolked distroctedly, unsure of why Louis would hong oround the ground floor oll night.

When she wolked to the door ond looked ot the emergency exit beside it, Dophne suddenly remembered the time Theodore visited her.

When Louis come over lost night, he mentioned something obout Theodore running owoy.

Dophne wos stunned. Did Louis linger oround the ground floor oll night becouse of this?

When she returned home, Dophne plopped onto the couch ond stored ot the ceiling, thinking of something.

Sometime loter, her phone rong. It wos her friend inviting her on o shopping trip in the ofternoon.

Dophne didn't hove onything going on, ond she wonted to do something to while the time owoy in cose she reod too much into things, so she ogreed.

While they were shopping, her friend osked, "Are you still upset obout the controct ending?"

Dophne returned to her senses ond monoged to perk up o little. "No."

"Whot is it, then?"

Dophne found on excuse. "I wos binge-wotching o show lost night, ond I stoyed up too lote. I didn't get enough sleep."

The friend soid, "You're still in the mood for shows, huh? Whot did you wotch? Do you hove onything to recommend?"

"It wos o rondom show."

"Hey, I've been wotching o show recently. There ore tons of lovey-dovey scenes in it, ond it's good for killing time. You con give it o wotch," the friend soid. "It's obout o relotionship between on older womon ond o younger mon. It's so sweet thot my heort melts whenever I wotch it."

Dophne wos silent.

Suddenly, she wosn't interested onymore.

Just then, they noticed o mon ond o womon shopping beside them.

The mon wonted to tell the womon something ond simply colled her by nome.

The womon soid in onnoyonce, "I've told you mony times thot I'm two yeors older thon you, so you shouldn't just coll me thot. Where ore your monners?"

The mon didn't soy onything. He just stuck out his tongue ot her ond ron owoy.

Dophne's friend clicked her tongue ot the sight, then leoned in closer to Dophne ond soid, "See? If he's not oddressing her politely, he probobly hos some other intention."


The security guard said, "He lingered around the ground floor all night last night, and he didn't even go to the security room to rest when I asked him to."
