29th love | sweet 16's bitter lipgloss

"I love you."

Hearing those words made me nervous and confused. I know I'm in love with Angela, but why is my heart beating like crazy even though I'm just around this girl?

"I-I..."

I want to say it. I still like Angela.

"I'm...sorry. Baroque, you're really pretty. With short hair or not, you're really pretty. I was a cast away before. You're the one who saved me from myself. My family...didn't want me to become a part of them again."

"But I was given the chance to marry a Baroque, I didn't thought that it would be you. You're too great for me, and I thought that it would be better if someone took my place instead."

"Then why...why don't you just agree to the marriage?!"

The rain poured and raged on. Harder and harder, and the skies became darker.

"I...still like Angela."

Am I...?

"I see. But...I'm willing to wait. I'm not ashamed that I'm the one who's waiting. Just always remember. I'm always here. Don't be afraid to tell me your thoughts."

"Thank you."

We saw a car that looks like our driver's. It was my dad. He said: "Gusion! Guinevere! Get inside!"

We went inside quickly so that we wouldn't get wet by the heavy summer rain.

Inside, my father told me something uncanny. He said:

"She's dying to see you Gusion."

"Who?"

"A girl entwined between order and chaos."

Order...and chaos?

Minutes later, we reached the mansion. I looked after Guinevere as she walked her way outside the mansion, meeting her service to bring her back to her home.

For now, I'm confused. Facing such a high-grade person like her to be in love with an exiled outcast like me. I...feel bad.

And now, meeting this special guest I have today...makes me a little nervous.

"U-Uhm, I'm Gusion Paxley. It's nice to see you."

"Gusion?"

"T-That's me."

"Don't you remember me? We became friends years ago."

"I don't quite recall that you really are, but I do feel a familiar charisma from you."

"Meeting you today really feels like a dream."

The next day:

(Gwen) I told the Paxley to wait for me so we can go together to school. After all, I'm still holding on to the key I own that may open Gusion's pendant. In the early and chilly morning, I met him.

"G-Good morning darling."

"Ah, good morning honey."

"Isn't it kind of chilly today? My lips are getting dry..."

"Yeah, me too. I just remembered that every time it gets to a chilly weather like this, it's always dry and when I open my mouth wide, it will break and blood will come out..."

Is he this chatty ever since?

At school:

"Sigh, my lips are so dry."
