The next day was a holiday and on such days, people would go out with their children and loved once. Well, not when you're stuck between four huge walls all alone. That's how Adrien would spend his holiday. That's if there wasn't a photoshoot to get his week full. He was barely able to escape and go to the party last night and after that fire and when his father knew, he grounded him for putting himself in danger and being disobedient. It was a windy, cloudy day, and seemed like raining anytime soon. He was sitting on his desk revising his last Chinese lesson once more in a try to kill time but he got bored soon enough and pushed his rolling chair back in boredom. Something was just going on inside his head and he couldn't ignore it.

Adrien: This doesn't make any sense. Why would she ask me such question ? Was she trying to give me a clue about the future or something? Plagg, what do you think?

Plagg answered while eating his cheese.

Plagg: I might have an idea about what she's doing there but you're so dumb to notice it anyway. You're a hopeless case, that's your problem.

Adrien: Does it have something to do with Ladybug's secret identity or something?

Plagg: No it doesn't.

Adrien: Then please, Plagg. Tell me anything. I have to know what she meant by that. It's driving me crazy.

Plagg: Sorry but you'll have to figure it out on your own. I can't tell you anything about it.

And the black kwami flew away to get out of sight beneath the cabinet's door leaving behind the confused, pissed off Adrien. He snarled in anger and shouted.

Adrien: Why isn't anyone being direct with me? Why does everyone talk in codes?

He got up from his chair and walked to the window feeling tired of thinking. He repeated that question one more time inside his mind.

"If one of your closest friends confessed their love to you and you just love Ladybug so you have to reject them. What would that feel like? ...

I wonder how ladybug would answer such a question. She knows everything, she must have got the answer. Well, she rejects me all the time and... "

That's when he finally figured out the message Sparrowleen wanted to convey.

Adrien: How can I be so stupid? The way Ladybug always rejects me but at the same time considers me her partner and friend. It must've been frustrating. I wouldn't even start to imagine myself in her place. I am the worst person ever. What do I do now?!!

He walked to his desk again and took a deep breath

Adrien: I have to apologize to her the next time I see her. But I don't think it's bothering her that much. Does it? I mean it seems to annoy her sometimes but she's still cute when she is annoyed. Am I being selfish? OMG, I'm such a fool. What do I do when I see her the next time?

Little did he know that he didn't have to wait for too long to figure it out because he suddenly heard the school alarm going on. That moment, he smiled and knew what to do.

Adrien: Plagg... Claws out.

Somewhere else in front of the grocery shop, the blue-haired guy was putting on his helmet while listening to his manager's orders.

Manager: You will have to deliver these groceries to the address written on the receipt and it's already paid online. It seems to be raining soon too so deliver these and go home since you can't drive your bicycle in the rain. Your shift will be over in 30 minutes anyway.
