Because the night is still young, the girls—Alicia, Katarina, Monica, Schwartz, and Yan—are all in the same room.
They decided to sleep in one room tonight because they were still unable to sleep and wanted to talk to someone while waiting for sleepiness to arrive.
It is the usual girl talk about make-up, new clothes, trends, and a few random discussions about their lives, such as how a few clubs have been closed due to a lack of new members, or a rumor about a ghost in the school restroom.
Speaking of ghosts, they decided to continue their spooky stories about rumors about a few places in Academy City while snacking on some chips.
The room is full of fear, joy, and laughter.
Simply put, this is a typical sleepover party.
"How about the boy you fall in love with?"
When Katarina speaks, the atmosphere changes abruptly.
"Huh? "You are interested in someone other than your brother?"
Monica could hardly believe what she was hearing.
"Yes, she mentioned to me that she wanted to study before school started. When I asked her if she was interested in someone, she blushed."
"Katarina, do you think this person could be her brother?"
"I also think that, but she did not say who that person is, so I assume it is someone else."
"No, I believe that is her brother, is that right, Alicia?"
Schwartz could not imagine Alicia entering into a relationship with anyone other than her own brother.
She understands that this is not good for either of them, but she could not stop her friend, so she decided to support her love.
"About that… Schwartz is right."
"WHAT?!!! That's messed up! That is your own brother. How could you be in love with your own brother?"
Katarina could not believe she had actually fallen in love with her own brother.
She assumed that this was just a complex, but she did not expect to be so helpless.
As her friend, she wanted her to help her get on the right track, but that depends on whether she truly wants to.
"Will it change anything if I say that we are not really brother and sister?"
"Wh—Huh?"
They don't know what to say.
Alicia has no idea why she's saying her secret to her friends but knowing that they are someone she can trust, she decided to let it out.
"Alex is not really my brother. Apparently, I'm adopted."
"HUH???!!!!"
As expected, they are surprised.
"Is Alex knows this?"
"He isn't."
"Wait, first of all, how do you know this? Did your parents tells this to you?"
"No, I accidentally heard them talking about it when I was young."
Monica is giving her an uncomfortable stare.
"Are you sure you're gonna tell this to us?"
"Well… I know that you're all I'm gonna be trusted."
They sigh in disbelief.
"Next time, don't just tell us something important like this."
"Why?"
"Do you really have no idea?"
"Well, I have but I know I can trust all of you."
They sigh once again thinking that she truly trusted them.
This made them feel important but some people feels a bit guilty about it.
"I wanted to confess something."
Monica hesitate to continue but she decided not to think the after math.
"I don't know when but I couldn't forget Alex."
"Huh? You too?"
"Eh? What are you talking about Schwartz?"
"For some reason, Alex is always in my mind and I couldn't stop think about him."
Yan is silent all this time but when she heard this topic she decided to confess too.
"I also… you know… like them… uhm…"
She decided not to say it directly since she felt embarrassed to say it in front of others.
Alicia is flabbergasted at the situation.
What is happening?
Alicia has no idea what is her expression right now but looking at them feeling guilty, it seems that her expression tells that she's angry.
She tell to them that she's in love with her brother and they are not really siblings but they also confess that they also fall for him.
However, she knows how handsome her brother was so she couldn't help but feel helpless now that they learn his charm.
"Since when?"
"I… don't know"
"Me too."
"Me too."
Meanwhile, Katarina almost drop her jaw when she heard their conversation.
How could they fall for someone like him?
And how do they fall for him so quickly?
It is only been one day since they met, and already all of her friends are falling for the same guy?
This is way too suspicious.
She wanted to investigate right away, but she was focused on how to calm the situation between them.
…
Yihan was unable to sleep while lying in bed.
She stands up and looks up through the window.
The sky is clear as the stars look at her, and the moon is half full tonight.
Unbeknownst to her, a shadow figure is slowly crawling toward her shadow.
A man appeared behind her, holding a dagger, but she was able to avoid the attack before it reached her neck by holding the dagger.
Fortunately, the cut in her hand was not too deep, but he began to slash her repeatedly.
She dodged a few strikes, but her body was still not fully recovered, so she took a few critical hits.
Knowing she could not survive on her own, she yelled as loudly as she could to call help.
…
While the tension was high, the girls heard a cry for help.
The maid who was looking at them heard the scream and ran to the butler's rooms for assistance.
Meanwhile, the girls are running toward the source of the shout.
Outside the room, they saw Yihan fleeing while a man pursued her.
The windows on their side are destroyed in a matter of seconds.
Another three people enter the mansion, and the girls are now surrounded by four big black-cloaked men.
They immediately grab their weapon but the only thing they have right now are small daggers for emergency.
Yihan is holding her wound so Katarina immediately use her magic to heal.
"Thank you."
Now that she has been healed, they must solve their problem right away.
