Thea's big interview day arrived following the mock exams.I wanted to do something for her since she had helped me so much in the past, so I rode my bicycle and personally took her to the place where the interview was being held. I fussed over her like a nagging mother, saying, "You should check if you have your admission ticket and ID with you so that nothing goes wrong."Thea confidently opened her folder and said, "I've got everything right here!"I took a closer look and noticed a major problem. The admission slip had turned into a sheet of blank paper."Oh, my God! What happened?" Thea exclaimed.Fortunately, I had prepared ahead of time and printed a spare admission slip. I promptly replaced her slip, double-checked everything she had brought, and urged her into the exam hall.I turned into a small alley at the corner after watching her figure gradually disappear among the other examinees, and just as I had expected, someone was lurking there, clad in a black mask and ba

Timothy and Queenie's stunt set off another wave of gossip among our classmates, with their photo spreading like wildfire. They seemed determined to show everyone that being young meant being reckless and showy.I chose to make the most of the little time remaining before the SATs, burying myself in practice papers and refusing to waste another moment. I eagerly promised Thea that I would reach the top ten as another mock exam approached.I didn't understand why she still wanted to sit for the SATs even though she had already earned a guaranteed admission through her competition achievements. Still, I chose to support her decision.It was finally the day of the mock exam, but both Queenie and Timothy were absent. I only learned about what happened to them two days later. It turned out that they had fought over a trivial matter the day before the mock exam, which escalated into a dramatic cat-and-mouse chase, with her unable to escape his pursuit.Timothy, having lost all composur

Queenie had transformed entirely ever since that incident. She hadn't fully recovered physically, but she still forced herself to return to school.She almost drained all her savings from selling those pirated DVDs due to her hospitalization, but at least she stopped hanging out with that shady crowd. She went back to a modest lifestyle, eating plain meals and burying herself in her books. She looked as if she had become the old, studious Queenie, the one who didn't care about anything but her grades.Yet, despite all of that, it was clear that she wasn't the same anymore. She used to excel at physics, but now she didn't even have the nerve to answer the most basic questions from the teacher.She had practically destroyed her prospects after the three-month break in her studies, especially considering how important the final year of high school was.It was said that education was an uphill battle—once one stopped climbing, one would start falling. Queenie became the living embodi

In the blink of an eye, I graduated safely from the finance department and officially took over Dad's company. Thea had also been studying financial investment during university, and we became business partners after graduation. One night, she and I drank quite a lot during a business social event, so we called for an Uber.Upon entering my upscale residential district, the Uber driver remained in the car, fixing her gaze upon me. She finally broke the silence and asked, "Do you really not recognize me, Zachary?"I studied her face carefully and caught a glimpse of Queenie's former self within her silhouette. She had aged so much in just a few years. There were even a few strands of gray in her hair.Thea discreetly retreated to a distance, giving us some privacy to talk."I know it may sound ridiculous, but for years, I've been dreaming about a parallel world, and recently, those dreams have grown even more vivid, almost like pieces of a real memory fitting together. "In that
