“I’ll be moving into my apartment next week,” Jasper said without further explanation. He then leaned back in his seat hard. Closing his eyes, he felt exhausted in a way he hadn’t felt in a long time.

The light in the living room remained turned on. Wendy came out of her room several times to check on him and discovered him watching a reality TV show. The laughter track on TV echoed through the large living room, sounding eerie in the quiet night.

While Jasper was stepping hard on the gas and driving faster and faster on the road, Sean and Isabella went to a small restaurant near the school.

As he walked away, Sean didn’t notice a young man in the restaurant staring at him. When he led Isabella out of the restaurant, the young man took off his uniform and followed him.

“What in the hell are you doing?!” Exclaiming, Sean stumbled and grabbed the door frame to keep himself from falling.

“Where’s Isabella?” asked the strange man, who grabbed him by the neck with one hand.

“Isabella? What are you talking about?”

“| saw you leaving the restaurant with her. Did you put drugs in her food?”

James retained his angry expression. He followed Sean into the room and found Isabella asleep on the bed. Her forehead was covered with a towel, her cheeks were flushed, and she mumbled something.

Trying to hear what she was saying, James moved close to her. After making out what she was mumbling, he stood up and asked Sean with a frown, “Your name is Jasper?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Sean asked.

James remained silent. He returned his gaze to Isabella and said, “Sorry, | didn’t know you were her boyfriend. Bye.”

Clenching his fists, James walked toward the apartment’s front door. ‘Someone knocked again before he could reach the door. He stopped and turned to face Sean, who was also confused.
