"Why are you here?" asked Arrion

how surprised they were when they saw vincent enter their dormitory while carrying a large suitcase

'Ah... it turns out that the bad feeling I've been feeling since this morning is this...' thought noha

"I will live here from now on, I hope we can be good friends" Vincent said

"Why do you have to be here? There are still many other villas" said Evan

"All the other dorms are full, I'm too lazy to live alone so it's better here because there's noha" Vincent said

He threw his two suitcases then jumped onto the sofa where Noha was sitting, seeing Vincent hugging Noha made the male leads not sure if they could easily accept Vincent here.

They had met for a long time so they weren't too jealous of each other but it was a different story with Vincent, because it was the first time they met, so there was still a sense of wariness around them.

As Noha slowly drifted off to sleep in Vincent's lap, Kyriol went to the kitchen to meet Arrion and Evan who were talking about the letter they had just sent.

"So, any reply from brothers-in-law and father-in-law?" Ask Kyriol

"They say they remember Vincent de Willem but that's all. They don't know when he met noha and what they did together," Arrion said

"Considering their attitude towards Noha in the past, it's only natural that they don't know" Kyriol said

"Is there no other way?" Evan said

"There is another way, I'm quite close to Noha's personal maid, Ardia" said Arrion

"Really!? That's great!" Evan said

"I already asked her and I managed to get useful information from her" said Arrion

He gave a letter envelope that was already open to Kyriol, Kyriol took the letter and read the paper inside while Evan also tried to get closer to read it

ardia letter:

I've been a maid of the Aprrice family for a long time even before young master Noha was born, so of course I know who Vincent de Willem is. He is the son of duchess willem from the kingdom of amiver, master vincent was raised alone by duchess willem because his father died in a carriage accident but not once have i seen him being humiliated in public by his mother, i'm sure one of those incidents was the first time he met young master noha, Mr. vincent usually comes to the aprice mansion at 07:00 and leaves at 16:00. They were always together but after the Aprrice family moved to the Esvier Empire, they never contacted again, not even with letters, it's been 7 years since then

-ardia

"Wow, this is quite a long letter" said Evan

"That's right, according to what's written here, they've been separated for 7 years" Kyriol said

"But that doesn't cover the fact that they have known each other for a very long time" said Arrion

They stared out of the room, to be precise at the sofa where Vincent and Noha were, the sight of them looking so close made the male leads who saw them burn with anger.

"This can't be allowed!" Evan said

"If we let it go on and on, noha will be stolen by him, that's really not allowed" Kyriol said

"We have to plan something so that Noha doesn't come with him" Arrion said

They then devised various plans so that Noha would not get too close to Vincent

.

.

.

"Noha!! You must be tired, here let me carry you" Kyriol said

Noha only replied with a nod, making Kyriol who saw him smile happily with a blush on his face.

All day long he carried Noha everywhere while turning his back on Vincent which made him not get time to talk to Noha

.

During class hours, every time Noha wanted to look at Vincent who was at the front desk on the right, Evan would definitely try to cover his view in various ways.

"Noha!! I don't understand this, can you explain it?" ask evan

"Evan...you're smart...how come you don't understand?" said noha

He tried to glance at vincent but was distracted again by evan complaining at him

"Hwaa noha how come you're so cold, I really don't understand" Evan said

'Haah why are you more troublesome today than usual' thought noha

During lunch vincent tries to talk to him but he is blocked by arrion who looks at him with an indescribable smile

"Noha, can you teach me later? I don't quite understand what the teacher explained earlier" Vincent said

"Oka-" Noha said

He hasn't finished talking yet, his mouth has been forcefully stuffed by arrion and it continues, every time he tries to answer vincent's question, arrion will definitely continue to feed him

'Ugh...I better shut up or I'll die of satiety' thought noha

Getting the silent treatment and all of his questions not being answered by Noha made Vincent a bit disappointed, but seeing that actually made the male leads happy.

This didn't stop there, even when they were in the dormitory they didn't give Vincent any chance at all. When he was about to sit beside Noha, that seat would be taken first by Evan

Sometimes there are times when evan accidentally sits on noha because he was too hasty, if vincent makes pudding for noha, arrion will throw away the pudding then make a new one made by himself

When Vincent was about to take him to play to remember memories, Kyriol would make noha fall asleep in his lap first so Vincent didn't have the chance to be alone with noha

All of that lasted for half a week, noha doesn't feel a problem because right now he feels more pampered than usual so he doesn't complain. Until finally there was a time when the male leads were busy again and had to leave him alone in class

Vincent immediately took this opportunity and invited Noha to take a walk together around the academy garden and Noha only nodded in agreement

.

.

.

At the academy garden

"Noha!! Today's weather is really bright you know!!" Vincent said

"Ah... yes..." Noha said

The atmosphere was awkward but Vincent tried to break it down

"Hey hey noha!! This flower is really pretty! Just like you!" Vincent said

But again noha just looked at the flower he pointed at with a cold gaze, at this moment vincent couldn't help his feeling of suspicious and said everything that was in his heart

"Noha...there's something I want to talk to you about" Vincent said

"...What's that?" said noha

"...Who are you?" Vincent said

the atmosphere suddenly became silent while noha's face slowly turned pale, he didn't know what to say, should he be honest or should he lie? If he was honest and told the truth would Vincent be angry?

'Why is he even asking this' thought noha

"W-what are you talking about? Of course I'm noha" said noha

"No way! You are different from the noha I know! So different..." Vincent said

'Haah...I already knoe this would happen someday but I didn't expect it to happen this fast' thought noha

'I guess now it's useless to lie and have to be honest as it is' thought noha

He sighed as he mustered up the courage to tell Vincent everything

"Looks like there's no use hiding this from you, you're right, I'm not the real noha, I'm just a lost soul who took over this body" said noha

Vincent's eyes widened and didn't wait long, Noha explained everything in detail so he understood and didn't misunderstand

After hearing everything he said, vincent fell on the ground, his face looked like he couldn't believe what he was hearing, I guess he still need some time to digest all the information

"Because now you have his body does this mean the noha I know...is dead?" said Vincent

the owner of this body died? noha isn't really sure that's true because only his soy that got separated but his body is still alive because of him

"I'm not sure if he's dead since I'm still here, maybe he...became a lost soul...?" said noha

"after hearing all this...do you not like me anymore?" said noha

vincet shows a very sad facial expression, is he disappointed? what can noha do because from the start this was not his wish

"turns out i can't do it, even after hearing this my feelings for you are still the same..." Vincent said

"I may need a long time to move on but... if the owner of this body asks to be returned, please return it to him, I beg you" Vincent said

noha only nodded in understanding because he was sure, when the time came, the owner of this body would definitely come to him and ask for his body to be returned

"Of course..." Noha said

from that day on, vincent still kept following him as usual but now it was a bit more awkward
