Once he finished, Samson turned and walked away without even glancing back at me.

I stood there, completely confused, staring at his retreating figure. He’d been acting strange today. First, he suddenly suggested making the fake relationship real. When I pushed back, he brushed it off like it was just a joke. The contrast was jarring.

Still, after he left, my heart-which had been racing a moment ago-finally began to slow.

Only the Moon Goddess knew how stunned I’d been. For a second, I even wondered if I’d misheard him.

Luckily, I’d caught myself in time, keeping my emotions in check. Otherwise, my cover would have been blown completely.

I rubbed my flushed cheeks and muttered with a little edge, “Samson really knows how to mess with me. He almost scared me to death.”

Once I calmed down, I got back in the car and followed Samson’s vehicle to campus.

The car pulled smoothly into a parking spot near the campus gate. I got out, turned back toward him, and waved. “I’m heading in. See you.”

Samson gave a slight nod but didn’t leave right away. He stayed put, watching me walk off. It tugged at me strangely, but I let it go and stepped inside.

I looked up at her and smiled lightly. “It’s fine. I thought you were just busy and forgot to reply.”

But as soon as I said it, my eyes caught a faint mark on her cheek, and my smile froze. I frowned, studying it more closely. “What happened to your face?”
