For Your Failed Unrequited Love

re stared directly at Lucy, and some of the students even exchanged silent glances with each other.
Felix could fully guess the meaning behind those eyes.
It was obvious that Lucy would be badly affected.

“What’s with her?” One of the boys asked while looking at the expressions of the other students.
Then, feeling puzzled, he immediately asked Felix a question, “What? Are you going out with her?” 

“What are you talking about? Why would I?” An answer came out of Felix’s mouth immediately.
He had a strong desire to protect Lucy from unnecessary interest and rumors.

However, only after Felix said those words, he realized it was an overreaction.
Lucy might have been hurt.
He closed his eyes tightly before opening them, then swung around to cover the situation.

“…She’s from the library, but she mistook me for Adrian and followed me.”

The boy who asked the question shrugged at Felix’s explanation.
He looked as if he had expected it.
“Well, there’s no way you’d date someone not on your level,” the boy said bitterly, almost in a sneer.

What?

Felix went numb as if he had been slapped hard in the face.
He could hear Lucy’s breath hitched from behind him, but he couldn’t bear to look back.
When he thought about how Lucy would feel and how she would look, his whole body went cold. 

Felix froze; anger came to him a second later when he realized he didn’t imagine the boy’s insult.
He raised his hand, but a breeze blew by him before he could grab the boy by the collar. 

Lucy, standing behind Felix, hurried past him and the other students with her head down.

“Lucy!” Felix pushed the other students away and went after her. 

“Please don’t follow me,” Lucy spat out without even looking at Felix.
He stopped in his tracks and couldn’t follow because he felt the misery in her choked voice. 

“Hey, Felix!” Someone grabbed him by the shoulder.
It was the boy from before.
He held Felix back, still laughing at Lucy, who was walking away.
“What are you doing? This is not like you.
Anyway, all those girls who approached you— Ack!”

He couldn’t finish his words and fell to the floor.
Felix straightened his body after landing his fist on the boy’s face.

The other students gasped back at the sudden punch.
They all looked surprised.

Felix has never hit anyone, no matter how agitated he was, and now no one knew how to deal with the situation. 

“What’s with that girl?” The look in their eyes seemed to be saying so.

“Felix!”

The beaten boy looked up at Felix, stopping the blood flowing from his nose.
However, he could not speak anymore because of Felix’s cold expression as he stared at him.
He then lowered his eyes.

Felix’s agitation did not subside with just one punch.
However, just as he was about to grab the male student by the collar and pull him up at any moment, something came to his mind and stopped him.

Sunbae…

Lucy in his dream was pale, standing beside his father.

When the figure came to mind, a chill ran down Felix’s spine.
He didn’t think it would be good for Lucy if he caused more trouble.

He walked away from the crowd of students staring at him, their eyes wide.
He looked for Lucy as he walked, but he couldn’t see her.
He felt that something had gone wrong and was nauseous. 

I have to tell you.
That’s not what I meant.

Felix’s pace accelerated.
Arriving in front of the library instantly, he entered without hesitation.
He strutted up to the return table and looked around, but Lucy wasn’t there.
The same was true for Adrian. 

He leaned his upper body inward with his hand on the return stand.
They were not there either.
There was only one book club member, someone he had never seen before.

“Where’s Lucy?” Felix strode up and asked.

The book club member was puzzled and said, “What? I just took her shift, and then she went out with Adrian…”

Adrian.

Felix ran out of the library without letting the book club member finish talking. 

He searched every inch of the Academy for Lucy.
Classrooms, corridors, cafeteria and gardens.
But he couldn’t find her anywhere. 

As if she was hiding from him. 

He had never felt this desperate in his life.
