[Aspiration to the Heavens Spin-off Vol. 1] Heart of Magic (Completed)

Episode 34: Sleepless (Olivia)

"Hey, Olivia!" Jason called out.

I rubbed my eyes and sat down opposite of him.

"Morning."

"You slept well? You seem exhausted."

"I had some stuff on my mind."

"It was your magic, wasn't it?"

I nodded.

"No. That's doing better now, thanks to Zhuang."

Elliot grinned.

"That's great to hear. Also, don't call me that. I'm Elliot in this world."

"You hate it that much?" Jason asked.

Elliot shook his head.

"No. It's just..."

He lowered his head.

"It..."

"Hurry up and finish your breakfast," his brother interrupted. "Can't have you running late."

I pushed myself up.

Hunger was non-existent.

Father's words.

What had they meant?

Was he aware of my feelings for him?

Right, we shouldn't ever try to be anything more than friends.

"You love making that face?" Alex said, staring at me from the sofa.

He was dressed in a white dress shirt, a red tie, and black pants.

His hair swept back, making him look as if he were going to a party.

"No. Uh, why are you dressed like that?"

"I have an event to go to."

He shook the heavy-looking bag he was carrying.

"I won't be accompanying you today. Just try to do well in gym today. There might be another power stealing game."

I stepped back, colliding against someone.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Elliot said, grinning.
