As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't think of anything else. Deciding to take a break from my part-time job the day before the exam felt like an opportunity given by God. Without hesitation, Koi left the house, stopped by a nearby store, found several kinds of instant soup, put them in his bag, then took out cash and paid for them. He also bought some simple cold medicine.

I'll go now, Ash.

As he pedaled hard toward Ashley's house, his heart seemed to be burning with worry.

*

Ashley Miller's house stood on the highest hill in the country. The mansion, which stood tall with nothing around, was so huge that it could be seen at a glance from afar, but in order to get there, one had to go through a rigorous inspection and confirm that one was invited. So, every morning, it was not uncommon to see people on their way to work at the mansion lining up in their cars, showing their ID cards to the security guard, and making phone calls.

According to the rules, Koi could also enter the country grounds only after confirming through an inspection that he had received permission from Ashley. But Coy didn't want to bother Ashley, who was sick, and even though it was a route she discovered by chance, she knew how to get into her country without going through the checkpoints.

I found it while being chased by Nelson's gang.

Koi pedaled hard, feeling strange. There was something strange about her. All of her bad experiences are actually helping her as she gets involved with Ashley. Even Nelson's bullying was so beneficial.

Koi was breathing heavily as we passed the country back gate and climbed the mountain. Even back then, Nelson's gang was so tired of chasing them that they gave up, so there was no need to say how bad the slope was. Perhaps that's why the people managing the country didn't expect anyone to come over here. Thanks to this, he ended up setting foot on the country lot. While he was running as hard as he could, recalling his memories of that time, the sun began to set little by little.

There it is.

Koi finally stopped, gasping for breath. The mansion where Ashley lives appeared majestically on a hill in the distance.

As I stood in front of the mansion, another feeling of tension came. Koi swallowed dry saliva and took a deep breath. The sun was already preparing to come down. It took longer than expected.

Koi held his trembling heart together, moved his wobbly legs, and approached the mansion. The place was as quiet as death. At the top was the only mansion where Ashley lived, and the closest house was the one we had passed by 30 minutes ago.

Is this all Ashley's house?

I was jealous, but I wasn't bothered by jealousy. She once again realized how far away Ashley Miller was from her. All that can help Ashley Miller is some instant soup and cold medicine. Koi recalled the shabby consolation prize he had brought and scratched his head.

You might laugh at it, but

I had come this far, but I couldn't just go back. Koi took a deep breath and walked carefully.

As the mansion got closer, my heart beat harder. The three-story mansion was truly enormous, but it had no signs of being popular. Koi became anxious at the dark side of the quiet mansion.

Surely you're not at home?

This is quite possible. You might have been sick alone and taken to an ambulance, or you might have gone somewhere to play because the pain wasn't as bad as you thought. I also imagined many things, but I ruled out the assumption that he had left the mansion after seeing the familiar Cayenne parked in front of the garage.
