Chapter 30 …

This was the full story.

Even after 7 o’clock, when I hadn’t shown up, Erik opened Instagram and sent me a message.

But I hadn’t checked it at all, nor had I answered the phone.

Meanwhile, Erik happened to come across Olivia’s story on Instagram.

It was a photo she had posted about two hours ago—us laughing foolishly, saying the bus had gone on strike.

“So I tried calling you, but you didn’t pick up,” Erik said to Olivia.

“I called several times, and when you didn’t answer, I thought something must have gone wrong.”

It turned out the two of them had grown somewhat close over the past year through club activities.

In the end, we had to confess everything that had happened over the day in chronological order: the bus striking while we were on the way to meet Salvius’ lawyer, encountering robbers and having our shoes stolen, and then walking barefoot to school.

“Why are you two always so reckless?”

Erik’s anger flared up halfway through our story.

“Olivia, didn’t it even cross your mind to call me to come get you?”

Apparently, Olivia knew that Erik had a low-speed emergency vehicle at his disposal. (*In Sweden, people over 15 can legally drive low-speed vehicles without a license.)

But before sunset, she hadn’t thought the situation was dangerous enough to inconvenience him, nor had she thought their friendship was close enough to justify it. She also didn’t want to publicize her personal troubles any further.

Olivia continued crying, but she confessed everything honestly.

Erik sighed.

“Seriously
 so you skipped club? Because of tuition?”

This was something I hadn’t known, but Olivia nodded with a sniffle.

“Yes. I used the money I got from selling stocks to pay tuition, but the dorm fees were too expensive
”

Erik shook his head.

“Salvius, I think I understand now that I haven’t really been your friend until now.”

“That’s not it
 I just—”

Erik seemed frustrated that Olivia had kept all of this a secret from him.

Still, he started the car.

“This car exists for times like this. Otherwise, where would you use a sedan that tops out at 30 km/h?”

It was my first time in a low-speed vehicle. It looked like a normal luxury sedan but was incredibly slow.

At the same time, it was so warm that I sat in the backseat, struggling to hold back the tears that had started to fall.

Olivia, exhausted, fell asleep in no time.

Erik occasionally caught my gaze in the rearview mirror.

His green eyes gleamed in the dark, a mix of surprise, anger, relief, and sighs all at once.

Was he mad at me like he had been with Olivia?

If that were the case, it would have been easier to deal with.

Erik remained angry-faced but said nothing more.


“I didn’t realize you two were close enough to hang out on weekends.”

Even though she seemed asleep, Olivia spoke suddenly.

The school building was already in sight, and once the tension eased, her playful side returned.

I quickly explained.

“We’re
 not that close. I’ve just been struggling with math these past few days, and it wasn’t the kind of thing I could ask you for help with.”

“Ah.”

Olivia replied, but her expression clearly showed she hadn’t understood at all.

Because the next moment, she whispered into my ear:

“Bibi, even though it feels like I’ve come back from the dead, I have to ask—Liam, or Erik?”

It was a ridiculous question.

I shook my head and whispered:

“What nonsense are you talking about? Erik saw your story and came to get us!”

“Don’t joke, Bibi. If you weren’t in that photo, Erik Branel would never have come to get me. I know him better than you do.”

Then she asked again:

“So, you’re Liam?”

“No, that’s not it
!”

I struggled with Olivia, and when I accidentally caught Erik’s eye in the rearview mirror, I stopped.

Then I began the apology I had wanted to give him earlier.

“Sorry for being late and not contacting you. My phone died because the battery ran out. And now it’s lost, anyway.”

In truth, I had completely forgotten the appointment in the chaos after the bus strike, but that’s all I said.

Erik accepted my apology, shook his head once more, and asked:

“Did anyone get hurt? How far did you walk barefoot?”

“I don’t know
 maybe 10 minutes? Or 20 minutes
”

“I stepped on a stone and now my sock has a hole. Otherwise, I’m fine.”

Olivia cut in, adding teasingly:

“Seems like you’re more curious about me than him, Erik.”

Erik shot her a disdainful glance, then fell silent.

Nice work, Olivia Salvius—treating your lifesaver like that.

As he smirked at Olivia, we arrived at Lagerlöf.


“Thanks, Erik! I’ll take it from here!”

Olivia dashed out as soon as the car stopped.

I stared blankly at the door she slammed behind her, then remembered my own duty instead of standing there like a friend who had even sacrificed etiquette for the robbers.

“Thank you so much today, Erik.”

My throat felt rough, even though it was something I had to say.

“If it weren’t for you, we might still be crying out there in the street.”

Erik, still glancing at me through the rearview mirror, replied dryly:

“Seems like Olivia Salvius was the only one crying.”

“I was crying too
 on the inside.”

A hundred times, even.

I said this honestly, then spoke the words I really needed to say:

“Because of what happened with that photo
 I don’t blame you anymore.”

The photo that had dominated the bulletin board in the first week.

Erik had been repeatedly kind to me because of the debt he owed me over that incident.

“You’ve truly repaid me. In fact, it’s been a long time since you did. So
”

I believed sincerely that this was the only way to explain the kindness he was showing.

But Erik looked at me as if to say, “What are you talking about?”

“Photo? What photo?”


He didn’t know which photo I meant? The one that had plunged me into such a mess?

Then what was all this over-the-top kindness for?

For a moment, Erik seemed to realize something and exclaimed:

“Oh, the bulletin board photo
”

Then, curiously, he asked again:

“But why are you suddenly talking about that photo?”

Now I was at a loss for words.

If he had completely forgotten that photo, I couldn’t understand why he had been doing all this for me.

“Ah, well, I mean
”

But before I could explain, Olivia—who had just opened the dorm door—started returning with a flustered look.

What was even more unexpected was who accompanied her.

Seeing the two of them approaching, Erik sighed and opened the car door.

At the same time, I could hear Olivia earnestly explaining to Christina:

“See! I wondered why Erik even had a low-speed vehicle, but I never expected it would actually help us.”

I sighed too, stepping out of the car.

“Good grief, Bibi.”

Christina, who had just approached, frowned at my bare feet.

“You said you ran into robbers? Are you okay?”

I felt a sharp headache between Olivia’s pleading eyes, Erik’s blank stare, and Christina’s fake concern.

“They even took my headband, but
 whatever.”

Still, I forced myself to answer Christina casually:

“It wasn’t expensive anyway, so it’s fine. I’m just glad Erik was able to help us.”

No sooner had I finished speaking than Christina turned to Erik:

“Good deed, Erik!”

Erik shrugged at her without even acknowledging her.

Synopsis
Brangel, a prestigious aristocratic private school in Sweden.
In this place filled only with white students, a Korean girl suddenly transfers in.

“Hi, nice to meet you. I’m Vivi.”

The scholarship student with jet-black hair—the only one of her kind—
Vivi finds herself isolated like a lone island from the very first week.

‘It’s fine. I never had any expectations anyway.’

Still, she refused to lose heart and focused on preparing for college entrance exams.
She would have kept it that way
 if not for Erik Brangel, the heir of the Brangel Foundation.


“Wouldn’t it be better if you showed up in front of me more often for a while?”

Why is the young master, known everywhere for his gentlemanly manners,
always threatening me whenever we’re alone?

“Otherwise, how am I supposed to know you’re keeping the non-disclosure agreement properly?”

The non-disclosure agreement.
That was the very reason I transferred here, yet I can’t even speak about it.

“What more do you want from me! From that day until now, I’ve done everything your family demanded!”
“Simply obeying isn’t enough.”

What on earth are you trying to say?

“I won’t believe it
 unless you become completely mine.”

His fiery green eyes clashed with my bewildered gaze.

“Because I’ve come to want you.
