IN THE BACK OF EVERYTHING

Seina screamed, lowering her head and blowing her still-painful knee, "I'm terrified to disturb you.

Even though he had a lot of questions for Seina and had ceased treating him, Elan remained silent. Everything now appears to simply vanish, and Elan was unsure of what to say to Seina.

Elan turned to face Seina "You didn't have anything to say at that time, did you? Exactly what? "Seina stopped blowing on her knees, and Elan said.

Seina tried to remember "when," but she was completely unable to do so.

Elan turned to face Seina, who had bowed her head to examine her wound. Elan replied, "When you asked to meet me in the hospital."

"Eumb..." Seina looked to the left and right, but she was still unable to recall.

"Really can't recall?"  Elan yelled.

Elan yelled, crossing her arms across her chest, "Well, forget it," as Seina shook her head.

"You're furious?" Seina's words were cautious.

"No," Elan curtly chuckled.

Seina's heart began to race as Elan moved nearer, and she began to perspire and experience both a chilly and burning sensation all over her body.

Elan placed a palm on Seina's forehead and dabbed at the perspiration. Elan asked, "You're sweating cold, why?"

Seina avoided Elan and moved past him on the left.

Damn, look what he's doing! I feel like I'm watching a drama even though I'm wearing all of my sweat wipes! Seina moaned subtly.

Elan questioned Sey innocently, "Why you?"

"Argh, no! It's alright. What do you have to say?" Seina spoke while giving Elan a harsh look.

Elan simply grinned "Even though you were doing nothing, you were perspiring. But typically, you perspire a lot," Elan, who was fidgeting, commented on Seina's perspiration.

Seina shouted, "What is it?"

Elan returned the smile with "Sey I."

I say, "Teng tong teng." Attention everyone, the break is finished. Please head back to your classrooms.

It's time to leave in Lan, Seina said, grimacing as if he didn't feel bad.

Elan's necklace fell out of his pocket as they were walking together, and Seina saw it.

Seina pointed to the necklace on the ground and stated, "That's the necklace that Elina was wearing at the time."

"You like it?" Elan asked after taking the jewelry. Elan yelled.

Elan's query caught Seina off guard because it seemed as though Elan would give her Elina's old necklace.

"What do you want if I say yes?" Seina declared resolutely.

Elan responded to Seina out loud with a sarcastic smile as if he already knew about her challenge "I'll buy it later if you like it, but not like this. I object to someone I consider precious using the former of someone I once felt was lost in my heart."

"I assumed you would give it to me without difficulty, Seina said with narrowed eyes.

"Do you truly want that necklace?"

Seina shook her head, already feeling foolish for having assumed Elan would give the necklace to her. However, Seina also reasoned that she didn't desire someone's ex, suggesting that perhaps Elan's assertions were true.

Seina turned away from Elan and said, "Never mind, I want to go back to class."

Seina was astonished by Elan's behavior and perplexed as to what Elan was thinking as he softly pulled her hand.

"Wait for a second," she muttered.

"Lan, what else?"

Although Elina was previously in Elan's heart, Seina still has a strong desire for Elan to win her heart and become her constant companion.

Elan yelled, "I'll tell you about me and Elina later."

Seina simply nodded as she observed Elan's stern expression. Seina's heart felt proud when she saw Elan grinning. After passing through multiple rooms, Seina and Elan split off into their various classes.

***

Without uttering a word, Vino pulled Seina's arm.

"Vin, what's wrong?" Seina attempted to release Vino's hold on her, but it appeared like Vino wanted to speak quietly to her.

He murmured, "Did you hear the news going around lately?"

"What?" Not understanding Vino's words, which were becoming more slurred, Seina yelled.

Vino put his index finger to his lips and sighed, "Shhh... Slow down," before casting a glance at Elina.

Why can't you hear what the neighbors are whispering? Vino continued to talk softly while Seina protested as though she didn't want him to, exactly like when Mrs. Lela was being lectured.

Vino whispered, "Don't be too loud."

Vino-like, Seina said, "If you don't want to whisper, then don't talk here, anyways, who are you guys trying to tell?" in a whisper.

Elina is what Vino inscribed on a piece of paper.

Vino's writing caught Seina's attention. Seina cast a quick peek at Elina, who was reading a book and occupied with her headphones.

Seina intended to invite Vino to a conversation outside, but the lesson was about to begin, and even Mrs. Lela was making her way to her class. As a result, Seina had to wait for the lesson to end before asking Vino many questions.

***

Seina specifically invites Vino to join her for lunch in the canteen, where many students congregate to eat.

"What do you wish to ask, then? Why, Elina? What rumors exist regarding Elina?" Seina continued to question Vino because she was so intrigued.

Vino sipped his ice water and remarked, "Eh guy, one question at a time."

"You're unaware of Elan and Elina?"  Vino casually yelled.

He questioned, "They used to date, right?"

Vino chuckled "So, truly, you don't know? My Siena is very pure," Seina brushed Vino's cheek off and pouted when he did so.

Even though there wasn't an Elina at the cafeteria, Vino continued to speak in a whisper that day.

He explained, "Elina and Elan are distant relatives."

"Hah!" Seina was horrified and glared at Vino. She was still unable to comprehend what Vino had said, but she knew that Vino never claimed his opinions were 80 percent accurate. Vino is not fiddling with his words, so to speak.

"Why can't?"  Weakly whispering, Seina.

Vino violently shook Seina "Na-Na, how are you doing? Although I recognize your disbelief, it is what took place."

Seina continued to have trouble accepting Vino's assertion, asking, "How can you love with such a cruel separation?"

Seina feels bad for Elina because her love story was cut short by ties to her siblings. Even though Elina had told Seina to forget Elan and even though Seina was aware that Elina still had feelings for Elan, Seina was unable to accept Elan's heart for a reason that still bothered Elina.

Seina wants to ask Elan personally because she needs his acknowledgment.

"Don't meet Elan," Vino advised.

Vino gave off the impression of being a seer who could predict Seina's future behavior.

He said, "Come on, don't meet Elan."

Vino tells Seina the truth, but he still wishes that she wouldn't place too much emphasis on Elan.

What would you like to see him for? Vino yelled as he started to pout and eat, "Obviously, he's not good for you."

Seina remarked, "I just want an explanation."

"What sort of justification?"
