As soon as Hazel entered the room, Megan greeted her with a wide smile before she leaped to Hazel and pulled the girl into her embrace.

"Hazel! I thought that you were not going to show up."

Hazel laughed. "Why would you think that? I promised that I will come and join you, right? Moreover, it is a rare chance for me to see you. Who knows when will be the next time I can see you?"

Megan giggled happily as she pulled Hazel to the bed and then showed her around the room. The two of them chatted for a while and Megan realized that it was almost time for lunch.

"Let's go," Megan said. "Our Class Monitor is a punctual man. He would nag for hours if we did not show up on time."

After freshened up a little bit, the two girls walked out of their room. 

Just outside the room, Alex stood in the corridor with his back leaning on the wall. He had one hand in his pocket as he was looking at something on his phone. The moment he heard the door move, Alex instinctively shifted his gaze.

"Alex, you're here," Megan said. Her lips tilted up when she saw the man's posture. "Were you waiting for us?"

"Mmm…" Alex glanced at Megan before his gaze moved to Hazel again. "Let's go. The others should be waiting for us downstairs." He stretched his hand and Hazel moved to hold his hand.

At the side, Megan watched the two people in front of her with a dazed expression. Seeing the two of them walking together side by side and holding hands reminded her of their younger days.

The look on Alex's face remained the same, but Megan noticed that there was something different about Hazel. But… what was it?

"Alex, wait up," Megan called when she realized that she was a few steps behind. "You were always the same. Always so cold. Can't you be gentler to the other gender?" 

The man did not even look at Megan. Alex thought that he can only be gentle towards the person he really liked.

Seeing that Alex continued to walk forward, Hazel tugged at his hand, making him slow down so that the three of them could walk to the elevator together. As the elevator arrived, the three of them entered together. Alex continued to stay silent as the two girls were chatting about their activity next.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the Class Monitor had arrived along with a few others. The waiter led them to a reserved corner where everyone sat around freely. 

Naturally, Hazel was seated next to Alex. 

As everyone was seated, the Class Monitor stood up and coughed. "Our classmate, Tyler Lu called earlier and said that he will not be able to join us today. Something came up at his company and he was called to return."

Hazel glanced at Alex and noticed for the first time that Alex's best friend, Tyler, was not around.

After giving everyone a few updates on their activities, the Class Monitor called for the waiter and their food was served. Soon, varieties of food were served on the table and everyone started to dig in.

The food selection was discussed a few days earlier after the Class Monitor had asked around for everyone's preferences and allergies.

Hazel picked up her cutlery and took a bite at the stir-fried vegetables on her bowl. A few seconds later, Alex reached over with his chopstick and took out the carrot from her bowl.

Swiftly, Hazel turned her head at Alex and saw him munching those carrots as he continued to listen to his classmates' chatters.

Another thought came to her mind. Hazel was not a big fan of carrots and would always avoid eating them whenever she can. She was not a fan of its taste.

Every time the two of them had a meal together, Alex would always take out any carrot from her plates and eat them for her.

Hazel tried to think of when did this begin and was shocked upon realizing that Alex had done so from the time they two started to get close during kindergarten.

Suddenly, Hazel realized that the man beside her was always attentive to her. Hazel tried to think of everything she knew about Alex. Although she was always close to Alex from a young age and know of his secret and preferences, Hazel did not think that she can be as attentive as Alex.

Alex had told her that he had liked her for seven years. But was it really true? Once she started to analyze things, Hazel realized that Alex had started to treat her differently earlier than that.

Various thoughts came to her mind and Hazel slowly lowered her head to eat. From the corner of her eyes, Hazel began to observe Alex's movement and every little thing he does.

The meal finally ended after the Class Monitor had briefed everyone about their barbecue activity on the night. Since there were a few hours before they can start to prepare, the others decided to return to their room and rest.

Alex waited for the others to leave before he turned to Hazel. "Do you want to walk around this place?"

Hazel looked out the glass window towards the blue sky. The weather was good and it was always good to take a walk after eating. "Alright." She turned to Megan and asked, "Megan, do you want to join us?"

Alex wrapped his hand on Hazel's before he shot a look at Megan.

As if she could understand Alex's warning, Megan rolled her eyes and waved. "You guys go ahead. I'm going to call my fiance lest he worries about me." 

If her fiance was free to join them, then she would not have to suffer being fed with dog food!

From the moment Alex had shown up, the man kept on showing off his affection to Hazel. Although Hazel had insisted that they were only friends, as the person who stood at the sideline, how can Megan not see anything? A person had to be blind if they cannot see just how much Alex had doted on her clueless friend.

Megan was feeling slightly aggrieved and decided to complain a little bit to her fiance later.

Hazel watched Megan left with a puzzled expression. Her friend was still alright a few seconds ago, but why did Hazel sense as if Megan was a little annoyed?

"Let's go."

Hazel turned to Alex and nodded. "Oh."

The sky was blue and the weather was great. The sea breeze blew gently as walked around the hotel area.

Hazel looked at the scenery in front of her and felt as if the hand that Alex was holding was a little sweaty. The two of them had always walk around holding hands, but for the first time, Hazel was a little anxious.. The two of them were alone and Hazel was looking forward to seeing what Alex would do next.
