INM 3 Part 2
Klaus released me, and I listened to the sound of his breath coming from his lungs as he looked into my eyes. "Don't feel guilty about laughing, Luke. That would hurt her the most." At these heavy words from the man, I nodded slowly, encouraged by his bright amber eyes. "I understand."' I said honestly. I had no memory of a father figure, but he seemed more like a father than any I had seen on television. Klaus turned his eyes back to the square. Looking at his charming face from the…-

Chapter 3: The Students' Afternoon "You... are you Lucas?" The petite woman before me, who had stood still in grief and fear, spoke to me. Her hair was pure white, her back slightly bent. And she had the same olive eyes as me. How did she get the answer from me, who was so stiff that I couldn't even answer? The lines around the woman's eyes softened, and her stern expression suddenly became gentle. "Oh my. You've grown up so much..." I was fifteen years old. That day, after a big fight with…-

"Brian..." "Either way, I will protect you. This is a decision. Since the hours will be longer, the amount you pay me will change slightly, so I'll send the contract through the office in two or three days." "Wait, what..." "I'll give you a friend discount to make it as cheap as possible. If that's still difficult, we can discuss it." "Well, money is not an issue. In fact, please charge the regular rate." "Got it. So, was there anything else out of the ordinary today?" The moment I was…-

INM 2 Part 5
Trying desperately not to be drawn into those melancholy gray eyes, I couldn't help but shout. "Absolutely not!" "What did you say?" Brian moved even closer, and in my confusion I couldn't help but rebel. "I'm not the same person I was back then! I'm definitely not going to listen to anything you say!" "What are you talking about, you idiot?" "Hey, hey, hey, little boys?" Suddenly, we turned our heads toward the source of the voice, and there was Alexandra, a wicked grin plastered on…-

Even as I told myself this, I couldn't help but remember the blue-eyed student. Brian's next words made me lean forward involuntarily. "I asked the staff about the guy you were with at the time of the incident." "No way, you already started an investigation?" "Yes. You were in that place a few times, right? Some of the staff remembered you." In such a dimly lit dining bar, there were actually people who remembered me! "This is great. I have to get…-

Occasionally, a dull honk from a car in the distance reached this office on the fifteenth floor, as if it remembered. Looking at that winter sky, I suddenly felt like having something warm to drink. How about some hot chocolate with a splash of brandy? A generous amount of brandy would be nice. First I would enjoy the full aroma of cocoa and alcohol, then let the sweetness of the chocolate fill my mouth. The brandy flowing through my throat would soon warm and relax the taut strings of…-

INM 2 Part 2
Straightening my back, I smiled at the young people and spoke firmly. "It seems I couldn't be of much help. I'm sorry, but beyond this..." Ethan's shadowy eyes caught my attention. Their gloomy atmosphere made me change my words impulsively. "Would you like some cake with dried fruits?" I almost held my head in my hands at my own words. What on earth was I saying? This is why I have trouble interacting with younger people. The concept of "being myself", which I had finally mastered after…-

Chapter 2: Alan Maxwell As the students came into the office, I moved restlessly around the room. I had no idea why they were here. I was surprised that they even knew about Alan and me. Whether Alan had told them or they found out by accident… I couldn't imagine Alan actively talking about me, so it was probably the latter. I opened two cupboards and thought for a moment before taking out a simple white teapot. It felt like it belonged in this office, a little gift I had bought for myself to…-

Maria seemed surprised by my sudden question. With a slightly wary, stiff smile, she gave a vague answer. "What kind of man... well, a manly man." At her answer, I looked down at the paper again and stroked my smooth, unmanly chin. I placed my finger on the paper and pointed to a spot in the layout as I continued my questions. "This is your room. You have a child who lives with you. This child lives in this room, and this is your husband's room. Is that correct?" "Yes,…-

After serving me breakfast, Brian also left the room to go to work. Finally regaining my usual routine, I made myself a fresh cup of coffee and began the day's tasks. At first, I couldn't focus on the work in front of me, but gradually, through familiar routines, I began to reclaim my world. A spacious room. Bright curtains. Simple, clean, yet unique interior. The desk is organized, of course, and even the bookshelf in the back, which customers don't usually see, is neatly arranged. Yes, this is…-
