I AM AWAITING YOUR EXPLANATION

"Sey, what's up with your leg?" Even though Seina has tried to keep it from Vino, Vino is increasingly intrigued about Seina's legs, which appear to be limp. Vino is very determined to learn the truth.

"Let's see," he urged, reaching out to touch Seina's legs, but she deftly covered them. Seina was trying to keep Vino from seeing the wound that her skirt was covering.

"Sey... I queried why. I'd want to view it. Don't prevent it," This is the first time Seina has seen Vino's face appear serious or angry. Seina had to expose her legs.

"Why is your knee hurting?"  Vino commented while furrowing his brows and appearing to inspect the gauze bandage at Seina's feet.

"Vin, hold on tight, I'll explain."

"What is wrong with you, I ask?"  Vino was still concerned about Seina because she was compelled to explain what had transpired.

Seina said in a subdued voice, "I fell."

"When? How could you? Why did you not inform me?"

"Just the night before in the restroom."

"Oh my goodness, Sey I will treat your wounds if you declare I'll go to your boarding place, but..."

Vino cast another keen to peek at Seina's legs.

"How long ago did you treat him?"  Vino shouted.

Seina answered with her heart racing, "Just now." Even though Seina didn't feel bad for Vino, she must have felt embarrassed and worried that Vino would be upset if she learned that Elan had genuinely treated her.

Seina made an effort to change the subject "Hey Vin. That was the rumor."

Are you still trying to find that hazy guy, Vino swiftly replied.

Despite Vino's attempts to correct him to prevent Seina from running into Elan. However, Seina was very surprised that Elan had spoken the words in her own words. Seina only wanted Elan to say them genuinely so that Seina's heart would not be misled into bringing Elan back to her.

Vino paused and cocked his chin in the opposite direction.

"Yeah," replied Seina, shocked that Vino had let go of her while she was still with him.

Vino answered directly, "Yes."

Seina advised Vino to hold off on meeting Elan until after class, feeling awful for Vino.

***

Vino is continuously staring at Seina and keeps a close eye on her during class because he fears Elan will become Seina's boyfriend and Seina doesn't want to forget her feelings for Elan.

There is uncertainty and anxiety, but what power? Seina, who had initially chosen Elan, was out of Vino's control.

Mrs. Yani, who teaches their class, continues to go over the material even though she is aware that Vino isn't paying much attention to her. Mrs. Yani observes Vino as he keeps staring intently at Seina without blinking. Mrs. Yani is aware that Vino is not paying attention in her class, but she also recognizes that the pupil is going through puberty.

Looking at her students, Mrs. Yani yelled, "At this time, is there anything you want to ask?"

The other kids were afraid to voice their opinions. Even witty Elina refrained from commenting.

Mrs. Yani declared, "We'll stop today's lesson if no one wishes to question."

Vino was surprised by Seina's behavior as she hurriedly packed her books for her to put in her suitcase, but Vino already knew Seina merely wanted to meet Elan.

"Sey... Don't want to go home with me?" Vino asked as he approached Seina. Vino appeared to be pleading with Seina by requesting her once more, but Seina was still determined to meet Elan.

Seina finished organizing her books and yelled, "I want to meet Elan first!" before packing her luggage.

"Later, I'll take you home. I'll wait here for you," Vino said while attempting to prevent Seina from staying with Elan and ensuring that Seina returned home with him.

Vino didn't need to come, Seina replied with a smile. I could go home with Elan.

Seina hastily said, "I'm alright," as Vino scowled and lowered his gaze.

Despite his gloomy emotion, Vino nodded, and Seina immediately left his line of sight.

Vino murmured, "You're the one who's okay, but my heart hurts."

***

Even though the other students had finished their lessons and left for home, Elan's class didn't end, so Seina waited for her to leave. Seina sat in a chair next to Elan's classroom, checking her watch and keeping an eye on the door in the hopes that Elan would leave right away.

After the teacher and all students left at once after five minutes, Seina grinned when she saw Elan's face.

"Lan!" Seina shouted while raising her hand.

Elan continued to smile as he walked up to Seina and asked, "Hey, have you been waiting all this time?"

"Just now," he replied as Seina shook her head.

"Sei, what's wrong?" Elan yelled as he began to inquire about Seina, who had once again appeared out of nowhere. Elan warmed up and experienced nostalgia. Could Elan have skipped the meeting like the last time Seina searched his class for him?

Seina yelled at Elan, "I want to ask your question when I was in the hospital."

Elan could see that he bit down on his lower lip after recalling what he intended to say but that the timing was poor.

"Why? You cannot, do you?" Looking at Elan's face, he questioned.

He muttered, "Sorry Sey, today I have extracurriculars."

"Volley?" Seina confirmed it by saying.

Elan nodded, and Seina remarked in a hushed voice, "Oh."

"You want to hold off? Later, I'll drive you home," Elan made an effort to prevent Seina from being discouraged. Elan wants to go home with Seina, but he has volleyball extracurricular activities that need him to gather with his friends, and there will be a meeting in his extracurricular.

"It's unnecessary; I'll just go home. Waiting for you will only make things worse," While Seina was aware that Elan didn't enjoy turning her down, she also noticed that Elan didn't appear to enjoy being catered to.

"You're certain?" Elan confessed to him that he felt bad.

"Yes," he simply replied.

Even though Seina was disappointed, she was unable to express her disappointment to Elan for many reasons.

Seina complained as she left her school gate, "I shouldn't have declined Vino's invitation."

He was the only person by himself, and not even transport was going through the empty school.

Seina continued to move forward while her legs grew increasingly painful.

Seina, who was exhausted and ill, was on the verge of sitting up.

Seina turned around after hearing a distant voice call her name in the hopes that Elan would return and not observe her extracurricular activities.

But Seina pouted and appeared a little let down when she turned around.

The man quickened his pace as he ran.

"What was I saying? Come with me home. Poor, I bet your feet hurt," Vino expressed his deep worry.

Vino screamed, "Come on, I'll take you," as he held out his hand.

Where is your motorbike, Seina asked as she cast her gaze in a different direction.

"I'll take it first since it's still in the parking lot, alright?"

Vino, who had left his motorcycle parked since the morning, went back to the school to retrieve it.

Seina murmurs gently, "I still truly hope Elan will see me soon and take me home 'What the heck are you doing, Lan? You never cease to irritate and intrigue me."
