She didn’t tell anyone about this, but Lucas and Sadie knew.

After ire disappeared, her parents came to the school to cause trouble several times. Since she was missing, everyone spected she might have had an ident or been abducted, leading to all sorts of rumors.
However, the three of them suspected she left voluntarily.
Lucas was upset, feeling that ire’s sudden disappearance was both ungrateful and a waste of Natasha’s kindness.
Moreover, because the money was given to ire, Natasha had a difficult time right after leaving the rk family.
The rk family couple even specifically asked several close families not to let their children help Natasha, aiming to force her back home.
Later, Natasha found a part–time job, and Sadie secretly sent her money from selling things. It was only after she endured those initial days that she gradually recovered.
Natasha never regretted her decision. Just as she never believed ire had escaped with the
money.
The reason Natasha wanted to attend the ss reunion to see ir was not to confront her, but simply to reassure herself that she was doing well.
She knew that back then on Mount Misty, ir had gone to Lucas to save her.
She cherished all the kindness she had received in her life.
Moreover, a hardworking, diligent girl who defied fate deserved to live her true life
No matter how dire her situation, the rk family was not as ruthless as the Hartley family.
“Will you continue to stay abroad?”
Meeting her old friend again, Natasha felt much more rxed, seeing that ir was living even more beautifully than imagined.
They didn’t dwell sentimentally on the past. A simple “thank you” and “it’s okay” covered everything.
ire shook her head, a determined light in her eyes. “I’m returning home. I want to assemble a team to shoot a formal film.”

ir had already conceived the theme and story. She hoped to bring the lives of marginalized young women to a wider audience.
Natasha’s eyes curved with a smile. “I wish you sess.”
ire also smiled. “Your blessings alwayse true.”

Just as they were about to have a deeper conversation, Natasha’s phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the name on the screen, she smiled and told ire, “Excuse me, I need to take this call.”
ire nodded in understanding.
She was about to go thank Kiara when she heard someone call her name. “ire?”
ire turned around, surprised to find it was Lucas.
‘Then why did Natasha’s sweet–sounding phone call just now?‘ She raised an eyebrow.
Lucas looked at her with surprise and delight. “Great, can you help me with something?”

As night deepened, the starry sky above became even more magnificent.
Someone chuckled. “I heard there will be a meteor shower tonight. I wonder if we’ll see it.”
“What if we do <i>see </i>it? Are you going to confess your feelings to someone?”
yfulughter rang out. While everyone was enjoying the pleasant atmosphere, the music from the band nearby had turned into pure piano music.
Wearing a crisp white shirt and ck suit pants, the pianist’s striking features caught the eye. On a night with stars overhead and a gentle breeze, they looked just like the ideal first love from a cherished memory.
He was ying “Für Elise,” and a bright, romantic love flowed from his fingertips with the
music.
A ssmate recognized the pianist and eximed in surprise, “It’s Lucas!”
“Wow, I haven’t seen him at all. I thought he wasn’ting.”
“The decorations around us have changed, didn’t you notice?”
“So many flowers! Is he going to confess to someone?”

“Is it her?”
“No way. Her boyfriend is Alexei! Even Lucas can’t be that tactless!”
“But he liked Natasha back in school. Everyone knows that.”
“Don’t spread rumors. Lucas and Olivia are already engaged.”
Suddenly, everyone had something to say.
A group of people watched Lucas curiously as he yed his instrument.
However, someone realized something was wrong.
The other protagonist was missing.
Everyone looked at each other nkly.

Natasha found a quiet ce to take Alexei’s call. As soon as she hung up and stepped out, a familiar ssmate stopped her. <fnc633> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? Find~Novel</fnc633>
A rose was presented to her.
“He said he never forgot the promise made when he was 18.”
Next, another person.
“When he was 20, he went to the appointment at the library, but you had already left by the
time he arrived.”
Another flower.
“If he could start over, he wished he had never gone to sea that day.”
“My love for you didn’t begin the day I confessed, but much, much earlier, every second we spent growing up together.”
Natasha watched them approach with a cold expression, not epting a single flower.
Those people grinned awkwardly and ced the flowers on the steps.
The situation was different from what Lucas said.
Natasha didn’t find all the exnations and expressions romantic. Instead, she felt choked and intensely nauseated.
Lucas clearly remembered every time he hurt her. He wasn’t insensitive. He merely
6:20 pm PS
prioritized his reputation and guilt over her.
To some extent, he was no different from the rk family.

It didn’t matter if he had his own difficulties. At the end of the day, he didn’t choose her.
He wouldn’t understand that back then. After finally leaving the rk family, Lucas and Sadie were the only two people Natasha trusted and relied on. Yet, it was Lucas who gradually betrayed her by getting close to Olivia, who had brought her the most pain.
That was even more hurtful than the actions of the rk family members who had sided with Olivia from the beginning.
Natasha even felt a brief moment of confusion at first; as if she had done something wrong.
She wondered if she misunderstood Olivia. Or she was too extreme and harsh.
Later, Natasha understood. It was just that her grievances couldn’t outweigh their peace of mind after they made amends.
Because she had previously received preferential treatment, she was more attuned to noticing the inconsistencies.
No matter the reason, if it wasn’t genuine, she didn’t want it.
Her disappointment umted day by day. Just like with the rk family, she would let go once it reached its peak.
Lucas was now trying to make her relive old memories, unaware that there was nothing good
in them.
Even without Alexei, she wouldn’t turn back.
Intense disgust made her step over the flowers, her face taut, ready to call someone to kick
Lucas out.
However, in this environment that made her bristle all over, a calm voice broke through the
confinement.
Natasha turned her head towards the sound, and her stormy expression suddenly cleared.
She suddenly felt wronged.
“Alexei!”
The man she had just spoken with, whom she thought was still far away in Stieca, suddenly
6:20 pm PD
appeared on the mountain path under the starry sky, staring at her intently.
Alexei stood alone in the wind, smiling as he opened his arms to her.

The students who brought flowers watched as the girl Lucas imed was mutually in love with him, and who just had a slight misunderstanding with him, rushed into another man’s
arms.
The tall, well–built man had a stern expression. And even when standing casually, his mere presencemanded awe.
He held her gently, yet his sweeping gaze made people inexplicably shiver.
The piano piece “Für Elise” was still ying, and everyone felt nervous.
In the shadows, ire smiled and threw away the flower she had never intended to give
away.
Even though ire’d arrivedte and missed seeing David, and hadn’t heard the rumors about Natasha and Alexei, just by seeing Natasha’s trusting expression, she understood what was happening.
It turned out that young love didn’t alwaysst.
The beauty of the past only highlighted the ugliness of the oue.
Lucas evidently didn’t understand this truth.
ire thought there was no need to ask. Everything already had an answer.
Her final plea was, “Can we start over?”
