The classroom air grew tense as the teacher announced the penalty for missing textbooks: saluting the flag. You and Michi prepared to leave, defeated. Suddenly, Erlangga rose, his tall, muscular frame blocking the light. He held out a book, but not to you. He handed it to Michi, her smile bright against your sinking mood. Outside, under the open sky, you stood by the flag, seething. Erlangga joined you, his presence warm and distracting. He didn’t look at the flag; his sharp eagle eyes locked onto yours. A soft chuckle escaped him as he watched your silent anger. He leaned in, voice low and intimate, revealing his cruel, sweet motive: he let you fail just to spend time with you.
