The eyes were looking straight ahead—the strager inside the shed panicked and immediately ducked and crawled behind the curtain—this way, their entire body wouldn't be visible.

"I see, so it's just a curtain... I thought someone was inside" Anindya muttered.

Still unsure, Anindya moved her eyes to the other side.

"It's just gardening tools and a curtain" she said, having already checked everywhere.

"Anindya! What are you doing?!" Desy asked in an annoyed tone as she walked towards Anindya.

Anindya stopped looking inside the shed and turned to look at Desy.

"Ahahaha, it's okay, I'm just curious about what's inside" Anindya replied with a laugh.

Desy had already arrived in front of Anindya.

"Oh, come on, it probably only contains gardening tools for science practice and for caring for all the plants" Desy said, rolling her eyes.

"Not necessarily, because I saw a theater curtain inside" said Anindya.

"Eh?! Really?!" asked Desy, surprised.

Anindya nodded her head. Desy, curious, began to peek through the gap.

"Wow~... you're right... As far as I know, there were only gardening tools" Desy said in awe.

Desy stopped looking and turned to face Anindya.

"But that curtain is so big, why is it in here?" Desy asked.

"Probably to cover all the gardening tools. Besides, that curtain is for an outdoor stage during school events, so it's not very big" Anindya replied.

"Aahh i see... I thought the curtain was in the storage shed near the fish pond" Desy said with a smile.

The strager inside the shed could only hear their conversation from behind the curtain.

"Phew~... Luckily I installed it earlier when the blonde girl wasn't in the garden" the strager thought to himself.

"Then let's just move it to the storage shed" Anindya said with a smile.

"Eh?!" the strager said inside the shed in a panic.

"You're right, let's do it!" Desy said with an enthusiastic smile.

Hearing that, the strager inside the shed panicked. Desy started reaching for the door handle—the strager's heart immediately started beating fast. As Desy swung the door handle down

"Huh?... The door is locked, isn't it?" Desy asked, confused.

"Sigh~... As I thought..." Anindya said, disappointed.

"Alright, time to go back to class" Anindya continued.

Anindya turned and walked away.

"Alright..." Desy said, disappointed.

Desy followed Anindya—walking on her right side.

"Maybe Mr. Toman took the key with him" Desy said.

"You're right" Anindya said.

"Should we just look for him? To ask for the key?" Desy asked.

"No need, Mr. Toman seems to be resting too" Anindya replied.

"Ahh you right" Desy said looking ahead.

After that, they walked out of the school garden—towards the school building. The strager in the shed heard their footsteps disappear from earshot. Curious, the strager crawled to the door opening and looked through.

She looked left and right. The garden was deserted. The strager immediately leaned against the door.

"Phew~... Thank goodness i locked the door..." the strager muttered, breathing a sigh of relief.

After saying that, the strager grinned and said.

"Looks like my hunch was right, she's Crimson Rose" the strager said with a grin.

Once they entered the building, Anindya said.

"You go ahead, Desy. I'm going to the restroom" Anindya said.

"Okay" Desy said, putting Wulan's rug into her locker.

"I know there's someone in the shed—but let me continue chatting with Julian first... I still need an explanation from him!" Anindya thought to herself, her expression angry.

"What's wrong with Senior Anindya? She looks angry" whispered one of the female student who saw her.

"It's probably because her boyfriend came home early, haha" her friend replied.

Hearing this, Anindya immediately stopped walking—turning to look at the two of them—they were immediately shocked. But Anindya didn't scold her—instead, she smiled sweetly.

Seeing Anindya's sweet smile, the two female students were immediately captivated, and they immediately apologized to Anindya.

"W-WE'RE SORRY!!!" the two female students said in apologetic tones, bowing their heads slightly.

Anindya didn't answer—she turned back to the front and continued on her way.

"Moo!... Julian, you idiot! I've become the subject of gossip, now!" Anindya thought to herself, feeling annoyed.

Back to Julian's side, it was 12:59.

Julian entered his room, put his bag on a hanger, and walked over to the mirror. He began removing the bandages one by one.

"Ugh... the bruises are still visible, huh?" Julian asked, leaning his face toward the mirror.

After looking in the mirror, Julian walked over to his small sofa, sat down, and turned on the TV. Relaxing, he turned on his phone again and saw a message from Anindya.

"Haha... I knew she'd spam me again..." Julian said, laughing awkwardly at the message from Anindya.

As he said this, Julian's phone suddenly rang.

"Oh my... She's calling me again" Julian muttered, starting to feel uncomfortable.

Julian rejected the call and began to type a message.

"Hmmm... what excuse should I give her to calm her anger?" Julian muttered thoughtfully.

While he was thinking, Julian's phone vibrated continuously as Anindya sent him a continuous stream of messages. Julian stared at his phone screen with a resigned expression. The messages kept coming in nonstop—messages from Anindya, filled with a mix of anger and worry.

"JULIAN!! WHY ARE YOU REJECTING MY CALLS?! YOU KNOW I'M WORRIED, RIGHT?!"

"I KNOW YOU'RE ONLINE! REPLY TO MY MESSAGE NOW!"

In his moment of resignation, Julian somehow found an excuse. He started typing.

"Sorry, Anindya, I fell asleep and just woke up" Julian replied in the chat.

Without hesitation, Anindya immediately started typing.

"HAAH?! DON'T MAKE EXCUSES! YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING, HUH?!" Anindya replied in the chat.

"Ugh... so she knows" Julian said anxiously.

"I was really sleeping" Julian replied in the chat.

"DON'T LIE TO ME, I SAW YOUR ONLINE STATUS AND WHEN I CALLED YOU, YOU REJECTED IT TWICE" Anindya replied in the chat.

Julian slowly composed a reply to the message—he typed slowly and carefully to make it conducive.

"Oh, about that, I thought it was a prankster calling me, so I subconsciously rejected the call and went back to sleep, hehehe" Julian replied in the chat.

After sending the message, Julian had another idea and continued his sentence.

"And as for the Online status, I've set my WhatsApp. So if I'm connected to the internet, my status will change to Online" he continued.

"I hope this excuse calms her down" Julian said, sweating slightly.

Julian opened the AC remote control app and turned on the AC in his room. Cool air began to fill the room, making the atmosphere a little more peaceful. Julian leaned back on the sofa, trying to calm himself while waiting for Anindya's reply.

"Sigh~... it's a little cooler now~" Julian said casually.

Julian looked back at his phone.

"It's unusual for her to not reply to my message quickly" Julian muttered.

Julian looked at the time on his phone—it was already 13:05.

"Oh, no wonder she didn't reply quickly, it's already class time" Julian said, looking at the clock.

While waiting, Julian started turning on his PS7.

"Hmm... What should I play?" Julian muttered, staring at his TV screen.

Julian began moving the analog controller left.

"What should I play... PUBG? CBG (Cyber ​​Battleground)? Genshin Impact? Nusantara New Era? Future Nascar? Wuthering Waves? Or Call of Duty: Mutant Apocalypse" Julian muttered, confused.

When he reached his last option, Julian immediately felt sad.

"Oh shit... I forgot, I only have 10 games... I want to buy more, but I don't have any money" Julian said with a sad expression.

While he was feeling sad, Julian's phone suddenly started ringing. Julian looked at the screen—it was Anindya.

"Geez, she's calling again..." Julian said with an uneasy expression.

Julian finally gave up, put his controller on the table, and answered the call.

"Hello—" Julian said, not finishing his sentence

"Hello, Julian~!" Anindya said in a melodious voice, but it sounded very angry.

Julian immediately felt goosebumps upon hearing this—her expression looked tense.

"H-Hello, Anindya... H-how are you?" Julian asked in a frightened tone.

Anindya was now sitting in one of the toilet cubicles, using her earphones.

"I'm fine... How about you?" Anindya asked into the call.

"Fine—" Julian replied, not finishing his sentence.

"Of course you're fine... because you've been sleeping for quite a while, right~?!" Anindya interrupted.

The atmosphere immediately fell silent after Anindya said that. Then, after a minute of silence.

"You weren't sleeping, were you?!" Anindya asked in a deep voice.

Julian swallowed hard, then answered.

"Y-yeah, you're right" Julian replied resignedly.

"Sigh~... Why did you have to lie?" Anindya asked, her tone sounding disappointed.

"S-sorry, I just didn't want you to worry" Julian replied apologetically.

"Do you really think that by not responding to my messages and rejecting my calls, you're not worrying me?!" Anindya asked in an irritated tone.

Julian fell silent—contemplating his mistake.

"Sorry..." Julian replied apologetically.

Anindya could only remain silent with a worried expression.
