You ever hear a name from your past and feel like you just got hit with a plot twist? Yeah, that's exactly what happened when Alepou heard Yuki call Gabrielle Taiyo.
Alepou squinted, her brain firing up like a detective putting clues together. "Taiyo, huh?" she muttered, crossing her arms. That name wasn't just random to her. It was personal.
Back in the real world, her little brother—Taiyo—was always talking about Yuki. Dude was lowkey obsessed, hyping her up like she was the main character in his life.
"Yo, Yuki," Alepou said, her voice sharp but curious. "Why you keep calling him Taiyo? That's kinda sus."
Yuki blinked, trying to keep her cool. "Uh… it's just a nickname, y'know? Like I said."
Alepou wasn't buying it. She leaned in, giving Yuki a look. "Taiyo's my little brother's name. And he was always talking about you."
Yuki's eyes widened. Wait—what?
Alepou nodded slowly. "Yeah, but here's the thing—my bro was in Class F. You were in Class A. No way you two were actually close."
Yuki's heart skipped a beat. "He… wasn't in my class?" she repeated, the pieces not quite clicking. "But… he always acted like he knew me so well. I thought…"
Alepou smirked, shaking her head. "Sounds like classic Taiyo. Always hyping himself up, trying to look cool for you. But you never peeped it, huh?"
Yuki shook her head, a mix of guilt and confusion on her face. "I mean, I knew who he was, but… I didn't realize he was that into me."
Meanwhile, Prince Gabrielle—aka the guy currently being called Taiyo—shifted uncomfortably. "Uh… are we talking about me or someone else?"
Alepou turned to him, eyes narrowing. "We're talking about my brother, Taiyo." She studied his face for a second. Then, something clicked.
"…But now I'm wondering…" she muttered.
Yuki caught on fast. "Wait. You're not saying—"
Alepou nodded. "I mean… what if this isn't just some random name you're using? What if he is actually my Taiyo?"
The air between them got heavy. Yuki stared at Gabrielle, her brain racing. Could it really be him? And if it was… why was he pretending like he didn't know her?
"Alright," Yuki said, voice steady. "If you're really Taiyo, you better spill. No more playing around."
Gabrielle looked between them, his face a mix of confusion and panic. "I… I don't know what's going on," he stammered. But the way he said it? Yeah, there was doubt in his voice.
Alepou leaned in, her sharp eyes locked onto him. "You better start talking, fast. Because if you're lying…" She smirked, but there was no humor in it.
"…We'll find out ourselves. And trust me, you don't want that."

What Just Happened?
Alepou's little brother, Taiyo, was weirdly obsessed with Yuki back in the real world.
Yuki never noticed… but now she's questioning everything.
Prince Gabrielle might not be who he says he is.
And if Alepou's right? Things are about to get real messy.
So, is Gabrielle actually Taiyo? Or is this all just a wild coincidence? Either way, dude better start talking before it's too late.
