Alyssa and the others followed in the direction of Sean''s passionate gaze. They found Tatiana standing


    alone under the dim streetlight. Her hair fluttered in the night breeze, bristling against the tear stains on

    her face.


    "Sean," she called out to Sean in a mncholic tone as tears streamed down her cheeks.


    She was nearly enveloped by the darkness. It was a pitiful sight that was heartbreaking to watch.


    Sean ran toward her without hesitation and hugged her with all his might. He maintained his

    "Sean, I''m waiting for your release. I missed you so." She cried harder, staining his shoulders with her


    tears.


    She had been waiting before dusk, even calling Alyssa and Jasper for help at the same spot. She


    waited for Sean to be released, no matter how long it''d take.


    "Me too. I missed you like crazy." He felt sorry for her and gently wiped away her tears.


    Then, he suddenly pressed against the small of her back. He lowered his gaze and kissed her


    passionately on her lips.


    Alyssa broke into a smile upon seeing the couple reunited. She rubbed her swollen eyes and said,


    "Mm. That''s awesome."


    Jasper held her by her wrist and whispered in her ear. "Lyse, I''ll show you something more awesome


    when we''re home tonight."


    She buried herself deeper in his embrace and blushed at his flirtatious remark.


    "Lyse, Jasper, get some rest at home. We''ll head to Belbanks now. Keep in touch." Julien waved at


    them with a smile.


    "Jul!" Alyssa no longer put on airs in front of Julien and addressed him by a nickname. "I have you to


    thank for today. Tell me, how can I thank you?"


    Julien blinked and cast a knowing nce at Jonah. Instead of being called "Jul", he''d rather Alyssa


    treat him like a brother-inw.


    Still, he couldn''t bring the matter up as he didn''t want to shock Alyssa. He merely replied, "I see


    Jonah''s sister as mine as well. It''s what I should do for you. Don''t sweat about it."


    After Alyssa and Jasper headed back to their home in Sna City, Jonah and Julien returned to


    Belbanks with Sean and Tatiana.


    The first light of dawn was about to illuminate the boundless, velvety sky.


    Julien rolled down the car windows and screwed up his eyes leisurely. Resting his cheek on his palm,


    he stared into the distant sky. How carefree and cathartic this felt!


    In thest 27 years, he had spent most of his time between academia and nightlife. Relishing the


    exhration of the decadent life, he had unknowingly lived a crazy life and developed an entric


    personality.


    Despite always being surrounded by people, he felt as lonely as an old soul. The more people he came


    across, the more he hid his true self away until he met... him.


    He turned around and stared affectionately at the quiet man by his side.


    What could he do? He was too in love with Jonah to the point that he''d give up everything he had in


    Mosgravia just to stay with him forever.


    After a long silence, Jonah suddenly began, "Dr. Lovce."
