"It's me Lia, Miss"
"What's wrong?" ask Juvelian.
"Master, mistress and young master Allen had already returned home. So ask the lady to come down as fast as possible".
Lia, my personal servant for the past year.
Except for her nature anyway, I don't know how to say it but no matter what I do or wear she always praises her with a happy smile, therefore I suspect her.
"Miss? Did you hear me?"
'I'm daydreaming again without me noticing'
"Wait a minute, I'll be out in a minute".
Opening the door quickly, as soon as it came out the Juvelian door immediately closed it.
"Alright, I'm ready" said Juvelian who was holding a paper bag in his right hand.
"Miss, even if you just wash your face but it's exactly beautiful"
"Even your face is not like you just woke up" Lia said with a smile.
"Oh, thank you for the compliment" Juvelian said limply.
'He praised me but it feels like I'm just nagging at me again'.
'And from the word he said it was like he was spying on me. yes, even though it was because I hurriedly washed my face'.
Lia who accidentally looked towards the right hand of Juvelian who was holding a paper bag, smiled brightly.
"Miss, what's that by by the beach?" said Lia who pointed towards the paper bag.
Juvelian was surprised for a moment. 'His eyes are sharp'.
"Yes, this is for papa, mama, brother Allen and brother Alan".
Lia, who had originally put on a flat expression in an instant turned cheerful. "Miss wants to surprise you? Miss take it easy, I'll keep it a secret".
Juvelian nodded. "Yes, thank you".
Juvelian passed by Lia and walked towards the stairs.
'How can my noni be this sweet' said Lia in her heart who followed Juvelian from behind with a face of admiration.
Juvelian stood in front of the family room door.
From behind, Lia held onto Juvelian's shoulder. "Miss, spirit".
After saying that, Lia left quickly without making a sound of footsteps. 'Spirit for what?' thought Juvelian who was still looking towards the running Lia.
Open the door and stop for a moment.
"Have Rudan gone home?" asked Juvelian who did not see Rudan in the room.
'Why should I ask about the boy first anyway' thought Ain (father Juvelian), Allen and Alan with annoyed faces.
"Rudan came home a while ago" replied Feliana (mama Juvelian).
'I want to get to know Brother Allen to Rudan'.
Juvelian stepped up and sat on the very end of the sofa.
"I bought it for you" said Juvelian, holding it with both hands.
"I bought a bracelet for my mom and a watch for my dad" said Juvelian, who pulled it out one by one.
"Finally, my daughter is good at choosing" said Feliana, who holds a bracelet with a clam-shaped toy surrounding her.
"What about us?" allen and Alan asked with a sad look.
"Of course, I bought it too".
"Allen, how long are you gonna stay there?" Ask Ain.
"It's been a week at most" said Allen, who looked at the TV.
Juvelian who did not understand their conversation, asked Allen.
"Where are you going?".
"Friends of friends at my old college will be celebrating our thirteenth graduation day".
The university where Mr. Allen used to be is no ordinary place, because you can graduate within a year. But, you can't use the internet connected to the outside world.
Something connected to the outside world is considered to interfere with the lesson, what else, the level of difficulty that can make you give up.
"Actually I didn't want to come but, because a friend who was quite close to me asked me to come along, otherwise he would have dragged me there".
'A pretty close friend? It is only natural for someone to have friends. But, it feels strange because the brother who always put up a wall around others, can have friends.
"What kind of friend is big brother?".
A momentary silence between them
'Did I say wrong?'
Sighing, Allen looked towards Juvelian, "They suck".
"Sucks...?" juvelian murmur.
Folding both hands, Allen reconnects his words "One sucks for talking too much while the other two are too silent"
'So how can they be friends'
Thought Juvelian who was a little dumbfounded.
'Truely so, we were just friends because as time went on, we got close' Juvelian said in his head-shrinking heart.
[The next day]
Juvelian and others promised to leave early so there was still half an hour before the opening ceremony.
Morning fog that still covers the road and some places in the school environment area with dark sky.
There were only Juvelian and Rudan walking together in the quiet and silent area of the school grounds.
'Are we coming up speed?' thought Juvelian who looked around.
"It looks like the other children are already in the hall" Rudan said.
Juvelian who saw Lilian and Arin standing waiting for the others in front of one of the classes, exchanged greetings with a bright smile.
"But why did you come so long?" lillian asked with both hands folded.
"sorry"
"Where are the others?" ask Rudan.
Hearing that Lilian sighed.
"We've been here since, but we haven't seen Jiho, Ian, Daniel or Nine.
"Mommy.." said Arin cheerfully.
Rudan heard it goosebumps with a disgusted expression.
'What's wrong with this kid's head'.
Arin slowly let go of her embrace.
Rudan smiled and directly wrapped his hands around Juvelian's neck.
Rudan showed a grin and a head placed over Juvelian's shoulders.
"Hey, stay away from my girlfriend"
"I should have said it so know"
"Stay away from my mama".
While they were fighting, Lilian who was still standing in front of the class giggled.
Seeing some people walking up to them Lilian fell silent for a while.
"Finally arrived too" Lilian murmured.
Hearing Lilian's murmur, they looked back.
"You guys stop fighting" said Nine who was smiling.
Afterwards they went straight to the hall casually.
As soon as the door of the hall opened, the air inside the hall was extremely cold in addition to the overcast weather outside like it was about to enter a haunted house.
It was not until one minute that they were sitting where the 2nd graders were.
Because not many people have come, they can sit side by side in a long row to the side.
Jiho was sitting with his legs crossed while Daniel, who was sitting next to him, was really engrossed in the game he was playing.
Nine who was sitting at the very edge while turning the pages of the book had her hands with a serious expression as if there would be a test any minute.
"It's just coming to school and you're already very serious. Relax a little bit"
Said Jiho who was sitting differently several chairs from Nine.
Nine looked towards Jiho with a frightening look and sighed.
"With this kind of nature, it's no wonder you didn't get first place" Nine said with a smile.
Despite such a calm personality as the extremely deep sea water, Nine who was an exemplary student at the school, was unlikely to hear the advice of a person like Jiho.
Jiho who was slapped by reality could only fall silent.
Nine's words were right on target, making the others clap except for Daniel who was playing games on his HP, Rudan looked towards the game that daniel was playing and Ian who was sound asleep.
Ian, who had fallen asleep by folding his hands and leaning against the chair in front, woke up from his deep sleep, with his eyes closed saying "Whisper..."
Those who heard this were silent.
Opening his eyes, Ian looked sharply at Nine and Jiho. "Let me sleep." said Ian in a threatening tone.
After saying that, Ian once again fell asleep and dived into his dreamland.
Seeing that, they held back laughter.
As the second son of a large company owner, Ian had no interest in his father's company and left it all to his older brother who was overseas for business.
Ian is interested in film. But, because of his filming schedule that was always a lot, Ian lived his life by always sleeping.
If in a fairy tale there is a sleeping princess, then in the real world there is a 'sleeping prince'.
Ian earned that nickname because he was the one who always fell asleep at school.
'Although a good thing, because he never fell asleep during study time anyway'.
Thought Juvelian whose arm was in Arin's grasp, who was sitting next to him.
Arin, Lilian and Juvelian looked at the door, where the other children began to enter the hall.
After a while the headmaster came in and gave a speech for a long time.
'When will this end?' thought Arin was getting bored.
'Am I also going to sleep like that kid' said Juvelian in his heart who looked at Ian who was soundly asleep.
"Once again, I want to say happy new school year".
'Finally.' cried all of them in his heart.
After the people started heading towards the door and out of the hall.
Five friends and the other girls also headed towards the exit of the hall.
Lilian and Jiho were heading to the school notice board by passing through the crowd very easily.
So Lilian and Jiho stood in front of the crowd
People started to shift giving way to them.
Juvelian and Arin were waiting for notice from the others.
Arin begins to talk about how she prayed for a month so that they could all become classmates except Jiho.
'I guess, he still hates Jiho ya' thought Juvelian who sighed.
Lilian who was surprised to see the contents of the absence of class division immediately followed Jiho who walked first.
Jiho who walked through the crowd, saw Arin and Juvelian's hair from a distance.wanted to call Arin and Juvelian who were at the end of the crowd.
From behind Jiho, Lilian pushed Jiho away, to stop him from trying to summon Arin and Juvelian.
"Go there, the most annoying human in the world" Lilian said with a bright smile.
"What's wrong with you? Huh uh?" jiho asked with an annoyed expression.
Ignoring what Jiho said,
Lilian ran to Arin and Juvelian with a serious expression.
"Whether... Juvel.." said Lilian with a serious expression. Hearing Lillian's voice they looked towards Lilian and were surprised to see Lilian running like that, coming up with a serious expression.
"What's going on?" ask Juvelian and Arin.
"Jihos... He.." said Lilian who glanced towards Jiho who was in the middle of peace.
Those who were shocked to hear Jiho's name and glanced towards Jiho, came to understand that Lilian's serious expression was just acting.
Starting to put on a serious expression following the storyline Lilian was making, they asked simultaneously.
"Why with Jiho? What happened to her?".
