“Sera.”
Before Sera could grasp the situation, the man suddenly called her name in a soft voice, causing her to jump up from her seat, tipping the chair back.
Sera stumbled, and the man stood up, seemingly trying to catch her if she fell.
As he approached, Sera instinctively put her hand out to stop him.
“P…Please don’t come any closer.”
Was he some kind of stalker? The way he kept looking at her strangely was unsettling, and Sera felt a chill run down her spine.
Looking closely, the man didn’t have a visitor’s badge on his neck. She thought about screaming.
Sera began to imagine the worst-case scenario in her head.
“I don’t know who you are, but I would appreciate it if you could leave now. We don’t have any students named Rosé and Ferre here, and using my first name so intimately during a professional consultation like this is inappropriate, sir. If you have something to say, it would be better to go to the faculty room.”
Sera spoke calmly, trying to distance herself by stepping back and aimed to head towards her desk to call or send a message to the faculty room or the principal immediately.
However, the man seemed unaware that he was being perceived as a threat. Biting his lip, he looked heartbroken by her reaction.
“I came looking for you because waiting has become much too hard, Sera.”
Again, he called her name familiarly, speaking with the anguish of a lover who had come to find his estranged partner, then gazed at her longingly.
Strangely enough, Sera felt not fear but another emotion welling up inside her this time.
Longing.
The emotion she felt as a stranger approached her, calling her name, was not fear.
The man walked towards her with a calm smile, taking careful steps.
She knew she should be shouting, ‘Don’t come any closer,’ but the words wouldn’t easily leave her lips.
It felt like she would regret it if she did, which made her confused about what this situation was, what her feelings were.
“E…Excuse me…”
The man stopped a step away from Sera. His cool, gentle gaze swept over her.
Yet, he didn’t come any closer, as if there was an invisible barrier between them, perhaps thinking she would be scared. It was an inexplicable consideration from someone who had intruded so brazenly.
“Why… Why are you doing this…”
A wave of unidentifiable emotions surged, and Sera didn’t understand why her voice was trembling.
The man with a serene face opened his lips.
“I don’t have much time left. You need to remember. I’ll wait for you until the end. Sera, you know me. My name is…”
Ding—
Just then, with a loud notification sound, a message popped up on the computer. Sera’s gaze shifted to the computer monitor.
[ Come to the principal’s office immediately. ]
It was a message from the principal.
Sera furrowed her brows. There was no reason for her to be called down to the principal’s office.
Gazing blankly at the message, Sera belatedly turned her head. The man had already disappeared, and she was alone in the classroom.

“What are you thinking!”
“Me?”
Startled by the principal’s scolding, Sera’s eyes widened in surprise.
The principal, with red eyes, crossed his arms and glared at her sternly.
“How can you not respond right now? Do you know how many times I’ve spoken to you?”
The principal frowned and reprimanded Sera.
Lost in thoughts of the earlier event, Sera couldn’t remember a word she had said and simply hung her head low.
“I’m very sorry, sir.”
She apologized in a barely audible voice, but the principal’s anger was far from over. Thud, a book was thrown onto the desk with a loud noise.
“What were you thinking about, huh?”
Scolded, Sera felt like she had become a child again. It was strange to be reprimanded as an adult.
She didn’t have much on her mind.
She was just trying to recall who the man was, based on what he had said earlier.
Rosé.
Ferre.
And…
Though she didn’t hear the end of the man’s sentence, she could roughly guess what he intended to say.
That she knew him, that she could remember his name.
But why did it feel so strange?
There were more than a couple of suspicious circumstances.
From the man’s overly handsome appearance to his peculiar gaze, everything was suspect.
And what about herself? When the man called her name, ‘Sera’, a rush of strange emotions surged within her.
Perhaps that’s why. Sera had been feeling since a little while ago that she should remember that name.
Given that she knew the names of his siblings without him mentioning them, it didn’t seem entirely impossible.
As if she really could recall his name…
“He…li…”
Sera murmured the name unknowingly.
