James doesn't know what happened when he met the strange woman who came with her cousin behind the building while he was practicing because he suddenly felt sleepy and didn't remember anything, but after that meeting, his academic life began to change.
His academic life, which is usually alone because people ignore him, has now changed because of this strange woman he keeps seeing.
He saw the woman waiting for him in front of the academy building, saw her waiting in front of the classroom door after the recess bell rang, followed him to the cafeteria, even when class was over, James still saw the woman.
The strange woman kept clinging to him like dirt and it was starting to piss James off. However, he chose to ignore her instead of yelling at her and making her cry again like when they first met.
James didn't know why, but he was a little disturbed when he saw the woman crying.
But when the woman continued to cling to him on the fifth day, James couldn't take it anymore.
"What are you doing?!" James snapped, turning around as she followed him to the men's dormitory building.
"Oh! You finally talked to me!" said Katherine, smiling widely. The first day she followed James, he did look a little annoyed, but after that, he just kept quiet and began to pretend she wasn't there. The man ignored her!
So Katherine was thrilled when James finally spoke to me.
"I warned you! You better not stick to me tomorrow like dirt! You know what happens to the dirt that sticks? They will be clean off! So stop clinging to me and scram!" said James coldly and then walked briskly towards his dormitory building, leaving Katherine silent where she was.
Katherine was completely taken aback by James' rude remark. James was Javier who was her husband, and her husband would absolutely never say something rude like that.
"It's okay, he's still Javier," Katherine mumbled then smiled widely again after taking a deep breath. Although Javier was a little different now, he was the man Katherine loved. Katherine was sure that everything would be fine, that she could be with her husband again and do things they couldn't before.

Katherine entered her dorm room with a confused look on her face when on the way here she went back to thinking about James's serious sounding words. Of course Katherine wasn't afraid of James' threats to say he'd clean her off or kill her, because that was absolutely impossible, but what Katherine thought was…
What if after this James hated her? Katherine didn't want that. But how was she going to make James fall in love with her if she couldn't get close to him?
"What's with your face? Did something bad happen?"
Katherine lifted her head and looked at the woman with shoulder-length hair and glasses who was sitting in her study chair. The woman was her roommate.
The first impression Katherine got from her roommate was that she must be good at studies to wear glasses like that. And her guess was right, that woman was a woman who had the highest grades in her class from 1st grade.
"Ah, Emma. Am I disturbing you while you are studying?" asked a surprised Katherine when Emma, her roommate, greeted her.
When she first met Emma, she immediately told Katherine not to disturb her and make noise while she was studying. Katherine, who didn't want to add Emma as a person who didn't like her, complied.
She actually really respects Emma who is still studying in the dormitory. Not that Katherine didn't study either, but she only studied when her teacher left her homework to do, after which Katherine never touched a book again. She prefers to study with other people.
However, Emma was very different, she spent a lot of time studying in her room, so Katherine didn't really know her because she didn't want to bother her.
"Ah no, I'm just curious about the expression on your face that looks like that, sorry if I've been presumptuous" Emma said then turned her body back to study.
Even though she was studying, Emma was actually watching Katherine who unexpectedly followed her request to be quiet when Katherine looked like a woman who couldn't stay where she was.
Well, she kept clinging to James, a fact that all the students at Faith Alive Academy knew, didn't that mean she had quite a bit of personality?
So, when she saw Katherine who came with such a face, it made Emma curious. What made such a fearless woman seem to have such an expression.
"Would you like to hear it? I'm actually having a bit of a hard time right now, and I think someone like you can help me," said Katherine, who was interested in telling Emma this.
Well… she couldn't think of a solution, nor could she tell Luca this because the man had never been in love. Maybe… Emma could help her? Emma is a smart woman, she can definitely give her some advice, right?
"You want to tell me?" asked Emma, looking back at Katherine. Her face looks surprised.
Katherine nodded excitedly, then sitting with her pillow on the bed, Katherine told her what had happened.
Emma's eyes widened and her mouth opened when she heard Katherine's story about James.
"Wait, so you really like James?!" Emma asked, then covered her mouth with her hands.
"Yes!" Katherine nodded her head.
"But… why?!" asked Emma, looking genuinely surprised. She even immediately got up and walked over to Katherine's bed, causing Katherine to immediately slide back so that Emma could sit on her bed.
"Well… isn't James very handsome?" asked Katherine, now looking embarrassed when she said it.
Even though her Javier now has a different physique, James still looks handsome with his white skin and blond hair, not to mention his blue eyes always calmed her when Katherine saw it.
"Well, James is handsome, but he has a very bad personality. Are you okay with that? Ah forget it, seeing you sticking to him doesn't seem like a problem at all," said Emma.
"Yeah… like you said, it doesn't matter. But now I'm really confused. Can you give me some advice?" asked Katherine looking desperate.
"Well… I don't know either because I don't have any previous experience. Ah! How about you tell James how you feel? You may not know it but James has no experience with women either. He has such a bad personality from the start that no woman has ever approached him," Emma said.
Katherine fell silent when she heard that.
Did James not know that she liked him all this time?
Then… should Katherine just confess her feelings to James?
