Finally, that day Alicepun returned home.
“ Alice are you okay?” axel asked when he saw Alice had reached their home.
“...” Alice was silent as if she was dealing with a stranger.
The man realized something had changed in Alice. Yeah, where's Alice's smile? The smile that always adorned that face was gone - even the joy that the woman used to give. However, Axel let-maybe what has happened is traumatizing itself for Alice. Which makes Alice can not return cheerful as usual.
What the man did not realize was; it was disappointment that made Alice's smile and joy disappear.
“ sorry, I couldn't help you back then, i.., i.” Axel was confused as to what to explain. It is also impossible to answer not having time to help Alice because she chose to wait for Fiona or not help Alice because she thought Alice's words were only a joke about the woman.
“ is fine, I understand.” Alice's mouth speaks like that.
‘ I understand, Axel. With what you do- explain everything.’
‘ you.., never assume anything I say.’
Even..., the feelings I once said..,
I gave up Axel-I gave up.’
But Alice's heart said something else.
He knows that Axel doesn't like the girl, but Alice doesn't believe Axel didn't help Alice when she needed Axel.
Now he knew what he meant and valued himself to Axel;
Ia
No
Precious.
From that moment on, he knew that whatever he was doing would never be seen by Axel. His body was injured, his pride was also injured and now, his heart was more hurt and disappointed. He's tired.
And his biggest decision was to give up his feelings for Axel.
his body was destroyed, his pride was shattered - his heart was even more broken.
*
From the moment Axel's days were quiet. He realized that Alice, who was always bothering him - whether the one who suddenly entered the man's room or who followed him wherever he went - was no longer bothering him.
Axel himself never visited Alice in the slightest.
He feels guilty and has not found a proper reason to apologize to Alice
And without Axel realizing - Alice who no longer bothers him because his heart is already injured.
He chose to stop chasing the distance between himself and Axel and began to choose away.
He no longer wants to hope.
Because he knew the more he hoped the more the girl would get hurt.
Just like he was hoping Axel would save him. But even until Alice lost her pride Axel never came to Alice - not even calming.
Alice started to move out of her bed.
Undressing her beautiful, sparkling clothes. She likes clothes that look feminine and cute - because Axel always sees Fiona who is feminine and cute. And as soon as Alice realized how much the girl was trying, Axel would not see her.
“ where do you want to take those clothes?” ask Freya.
“ donate to orphanage.” said Alice.
Freya let, because- after all this time Alice was finally willing to get out of her bed.
Looks like all the clothes he packed into the box. He also took off his mother's old clothes.
Simple, yet fascinating. Little Alice always wants to be like her mother when she grows up - however, it is buried because Alice always sees the figure of the woman who looks Feminine is always seen Axel.
Alice herself did not expect that she would re-bury that desire and return to the figure she dreamed of - a figure similar to her mother.
Alice then took off some clothes that were still worth wearing to put on her fingers and the dusty ones Alice would wash.
Seeing Alice starting to want to come back out of her room even began to dare to come out of the house - making Axel sure if soon the girl's cheer began to recover.
However, even when Alice began to return to college, Axel realized that Alice's cheer was not the same as before.
And for some reason, Axel honestly misses Alice's cheerful, energetic and clever nature.
She was still the smart Alice - but she never bothered Axel again who suddenly entered Axel's room at will even though the man always forbade Alice from entering his room.
And Axel realized, even when Alice gathered with her friends, Alice's smile was no longer visible.
