Rewriting My Heart's Fate

The young man leaned against the wall as he looked at his phone. His facial features were handsome. His gaze was slightly downcast, but his wispy eyelashes were visible. There was an aura of cold elegance about him. He was simply handsome beyond belief.

It wasn't like my ten years of admiration towards him could just disappear. As if I had been put under a spell, my heart wouldn't stop pounding.

He heard something and looked toward me. His lips parted when our eyes met. His expression seemed to brighten.

Though I wasn't going to chase after him anymore, it wasn't like we were cutting ties. So, I greeted him awkwardly.

"What a coincidence! You're going to the toilet too?" Right as I said that, I began to regret my stupid question. Thankfully, Ethan didn't mind. He stood up straight and beckoned me over with his finger. "Come here."

"Huh? Something the matter, Grayson?" I asked.

Ethan glanced at me coldly. He was visibly getting impatient.

"I said, come here," he repeated.

I was silent as I reluctantly stepped forward, still keeping my distance from him. Upon seeing this, Ethan's expression darkened. He furrowed his brows as if preparing to say something, but decided not to.

A while passed before he tossed me the bag he was holding. He looked upset. I was caught off guard and nearly dropped it. It was so heavy!

"What is this?"

Ethan didn't answer but turned around suddenly. His tall figure was overwhelming. The familiar earthy fragrance on him made my breath hitch. My mind went blank.

"Evelyn Wiley. You'd better study hard, you hear?" he said, gritting his teeth.

I didn't say anything. I was so confused. By the time I had gotten my bearings again, Ethan had already walked away.

Then, I returned to the karaoke room. Lyla rushed up to me and asked, "What's that? Did someone give you a birthday present?"

I didn't even know where to begin. Lyla quickly opened up the bag. She was delighted.

"Goodness! Who's bright idea was it to gift you a bag full of practice papers? Someone must be eager to see you get into St. Nicholas University."

I just chuckled. Even after going back in time seven years, I still couldn't figure out what was on Ethan's mind.
