Alex immediately noticed the unusual gazes from his club members. It was neither weird nor malicious, just different from what he was used to in the past.
This was especially true for Lapiz, who heard Alex's confession about his feelings for her.
When she asked him why he liked her, the young man's reply made her eyes widen in shock.
"It's because both of us have many flaws people don't know about," Alex said calmly. "We act like we're okay when we're not. I like you because we have a lot in common."
The young man wanted to say more, but since a third party hovered like a fly, he decided to keep things simple.
Since then, Lapiz had become extra conscious of Alex. And hearing Dim Dim's story about him made her know more about him.
She laughed at his mischief.
She admired his strength.
She was awed by his resolve.
And became speechless in his moments of weakness.
It was only then that Lapiz understood. Alex hadn't lied when he said he had many flaws.
