"Hey Van!" Jevan who was quietly in his seat suddenly glanced at Aleta who called him.
But Aleta had not yet had time to approach Jevan, several female classmates had blocked her first, making Aleta furious. "Move aside, it's a wonder I've been rejected so many times by Jevan and still claim to be his girlfriend. be self-aware," said Aleta.
Jevan laughed slightly as he watched Aleta fight off the flock of women who always approached her in class. "You're so quiet bro, why are you upset?" asked Aleta.
"Bro, bro. You think I'm your brother, huh?" Aleta laughed when she saw that Jevan was sarcastic towards her because of the joke she made.
She doesn't remember anything, Jevan thought as he looked at Aleta sadly for a moment.
"Eh Ta, aren't you uncomfortable being bullied by them because you're close to me?" asked Jevan.
"You're asking? Are you wondering? Yeah no, why would I be uncomfortable. Unless they make me sick because they're jealous of me, then I'll beat them back." Jevan laughed, and because of that the whole class was stunned by Jevan's handsome laughter.
"So sad, it's their first time seeing you laugh," Aleta said. Jevan just shook his head before he finally felt something very familiar approaching him.
"You're alone together, you'll end up together." Renzo came over and immediately sat down on the table where Jevan was sitting.
"Is it polite to come and sit at the table?" Jevan quipped.
"Like you've never done that," Renzo replied, looking away. Then he gave the parcel he was carrying to Aleta who was sitting opposite him.
"Uh, what is it?" Aleta said as she accepted the parcel. She saw that there were some snacks and heavy meals inside.
"Enough, right? Eat a lot, you've gotten thin since you met me. You'll think I rarely buy you snacks anymore," Renzo said as he told Jevan to move so he could sit down too.
"Hey, this is body koreyah you know." Aleta opened one of the onigiri that Renzo had bought and enjoyed it without paying attention to her surroundings.
Renzo smiled as he watched Aleta eat with great pleasure, but then his smile faded when he saw the bruise on her hand. "She doesn't remember anything Ren," Jevan whispered from the bench behind Renzo.
"That's good, how the hell are you?" replied Renzo. Jevan chuckled in displeasure and laid his head back on the table, ignoring their conversation.
"Ren, why did you lie to me?" Jevan opened his eyes when he heard Aleta say that. However, he didn't raise his head because he thought she was just joking.
"Huh? What lie?" asked Renzo who started to panic when he saw something behind Aleta, he tried to elbow Jevan's body. Jevan who felt disturbed suddenly raised his head and intended to scold Renzo. However, he abandoned his intention when he saw a black shadow with a tall posture next to Aleta with a quite scary face.
"Why didn't you ever tell me that onigiri is this so good?!" Aleta said as she continued to devour the onigiri. Meanwhile, the two men were already panicking to death at the shadow that had just greeted them.
"Van, I'm sure it's not just me." Jevan looked at Aleta who was eating with an uninterpretable gaze.
Aleta, how long are you going to hide your condition? Jevan thought.

When it was time to go home, Aleta had prepared all her soul to face what would happen at home. However, she was suddenly approached by Reyna who slapped her in front of many students.
"What the hell? Are you crazy?" Aleta was upset.
"Get out! Show me that you're a demon," Reyna shouted. Aleta was shocked and confused, what exactly did Reyna mean?
"Hey, if you want to vent your madness because you can't get Jevan. Not with me," said Aleta. Reyna approached Aleta and grabbed her uniform.
"Look at my face. The wound on my right cheek is because of you! Even Tina fell into a coma because of you," Reyna was upset.
Aleta could feel the honesty in Reyna's words, the girl was not lying to her. Aleta herself understood what Reyna meant. However, she tried to dispel the fact that she did.
"Ugh, what are you doing!" Aleta tried to release Reyna's grip. However, she suddenly felt dizzy and her nose was bleeding fresh blood which made Reyna so surprised.
Jevan and Renzo, who had just seen the two, immediately took Aleta away without further ado. They had ignored Reyna who was screaming at the top of her lungs for them to stop taking Aleta.
They took Aleta to the backyard of the school, the same place where she showed her other side at school. "Al, what's wrong with you, are you hurt?" said Jevan.
Aleta shook off Jevan's hand and tried to sit down and lean against the wall of the schoolhouse. "I'm just tired," she said as she wiped the blood from her nose.
"Aleta! If there's a problem tell us Ta, why are you now? You can't hide things from us!" annoyed Jevan. Renzo nudged Jevan and made him realize he had said something wrong.
"So what, by talking to you guys, I don't get anything! Basically I'll still die—"
"Who said that? That's your assumption. We're desperate to make you stay cheerful and open with us. But what, nothing came of it." Jevan had really reached his breaking point. He couldn't contain his emotions anymore.
"Who asked you to be like that with me? You guys already know that I'm just in—"
"Al, you're being too harsh. We're doing this all for you! Jevan is trying to find a way to keep you from dying with the demon that took your body," Renzo was annoyed.
"You guys are trying to get him out of my body. Even though with him, we can find out about the curse that made the three of us trapped in a situation like this," said Aleta.
"Aleta, realize. He's also a demon." Aleta nodded.
"I know, but he has something to do with us. Why can't you understand?" Aleta was annoyed, she took out one of the books from her bag and showed her writing about everything the demon that possessed her knew.
"Morgan, whose Latin name is Aeternus. I and he can't be separated because of a curse I don't know about, and he knows about the curse Jevan. He's also in the same position as us, he needs—"
"Aleta, demons are cunning. What if it's just his game?" asked Jevan.
"Everything she said is fact, Jevan. This all comes from the curse," said Nesya who suddenly came out of nowhere.
