Chapter 85
Zoey was worse. She didn’t look at me at all. She kept talking to Aaron about me. Her disdainful gaze
angered me.
At critical moments, my best friends were useless.
I felt sad. It felt as if everyone was targeting me. What did I do wrong? Could someone give me a hint?
I
Even if a criminal received a death sentence, he would know which law he broke. It didn’t make sense
that I offended everyone just by passing a love letter. What did I do wrong?
Confused, I returned to my seat. Staring at the table full of food, I didn’t have any appetite.
Colin remained silent with a straight face. He continued to drink alcohol and did not stop.
Everyone pretended to be busy eating. The atmosphere at the table became heavy and uncanny.
Bravely, Eden brought up topics to lighten the atmosphere. However, he was stunned by Colin’s gaze. In
the end, he pretended to be mute and focused on eating.
During the meal, Colin didn’t even spare me a glance.
I knew Colin was angry at me. It was the first time he was angry at me. But I didn’t know how I angered
him. I didn’t know why he was angry.
After the birthday banquet ended, we were supposed to go for karaoke. Nonetheless, Colin said that he
was tired. So, the event ended, which I find to be a pity.
For Colin’s birthday, I practiced two songs. I wanted to sing to him on his birthday. In the end, my efforts had gone to waste. He didn’t even give me the chance to sing.
The restaurant wasn’t far from the university. We didn’t drive to the restaurant, so we walked back to the
university in groups.
Flynn and Queenie were nowhere to be seen úpon exiting the restaurant. Eden and Aaron walked with their arms around each others‘ shoulders. On the other hand, Zoey and Zachary Ziegler were discussing
something as if no one was around.
Only Colin and I were alone. Habitually, I went to look for Colin and followed him like an idiot. With each
step he took, I followed suit.
The weather that night wasn’t bad. The moon was waning, making the sky seem to have many bright

stars.
I walked while admiring the sky. I asked Colin to gaze at the stars with me, too.
However, he ignored me. He continued walking on the path without sparing me a glance. In the end,
Aaron was the one who dropped me off at my dormitory.
“Aaron, why is Colin angry at me? I don’t get it.”
Aaron, who was never afraid of death, laughed and scratched his head. “Uh- I don’t understand this
either. If you really want to know about it, you may understand when you can’t fall asleep later.”
I didn’t believe Aaron’s words. It was impossible that he didn’t understand. He just didn’t want to tell me
about it.
I
Perhaps other people knew the reason, too. I was the only one who did not know.
“Fine, just pretend I didn’t ask!” I thought.
After Queenie and Zoey returned to the dormitory, with my studious spirit, I opened up a discussion with
them about the reason Colin was angry.
I thought they would tell me the reason since they were my roommates, and I asked for advice first. Yet.
they rolled their eyes at me after washing up and headed directly to bed, leaving me standing under the
light dumbly.
What was wrong with them? I didn’t offend them, did I? I took them out to have fun, so why were they
angry at me?
It was hard to understand women’s thoughts.
After washing up, I lay on the bed. I couldn’t fall asleep as my mind was clouded with Colin’s stern and
straight face.
Since I couldn’t fall asleep, I couldn’t let Colin sleep soundly. After all, it was his fault for being angry at
me and ignoring me.
I needed to text him.
Pulling out my phone, I searched for Colin’s number and spammed him with texts.
