Chapter 124 To Find Answers

'For some time now, I have been meaning to leave Dream High. It was a great experience working in Dream High, but I wished to challenge myself by working for a different company and in a different environment.

I wished to join Sky, but I couldn't. I was desperate, so I Iied about my identity. I entered Sky as an author with the pen name Butterfly. I wrote my story as Butterfly, but I accidentally posted it as MissImperfectlyFine when I was sick one day. Sky, who knew me as Butterfly, read the story and thought that MissImperfectlyFine had plagiarized.

I don't blame Sky for the accusations against me. I hid my identity, and this misunderstanding happened. I could have come out with the truth sooner, but I was afraid. Even if the plagiarism charge against me dissolved, I had still lied to Sky. I was still to be blamed nevertheless.

But I came to the conclusion that this couldn't go on anymore. Tensions between Sky and Dream High needlessly increased because of me. I felt guilty and ashamed of myself. That's why, I decided to speak up the truth today.

MissImperfectlyFine is Butterfly and Butterfly is MissImperfectlyFine. I sincerely apologize to Sky for causing this commotion. I know I must have disappointed Sky and my readers a lot. I can only humbly ask you to please forgive me and give me another chance. I won't fail you ever again, I promise.

Thank you so much for hearing me out.

Love,

MissImperfectlyFine.'

Jun sprung up on his feet with his eyes widened in utter disbelief. He read the post again and again until he felt a headache coming, but he still refused to believe it. and MissImperfectlyFine…are the same?

"Both are…Ai?" He muttered the question to himself.

Jun stared ahead with a blank gaze. He tried to put the pieces of puzzle into their places, but he couldn't figure out how it happened and why?

But Ai said that she is Butterfly. Why would she lie about her identity?

He remembered the time Jun met Ai as MissImperfectlyFine and the time they spent after the book signing event.

Ai or MissImperfectlyFine didn't seem like somebody who would be dishonest.

Then when he and Ai lived together, he learned that she wanted to join Sky. She even visited Sky but even so, the fact never came out that she was MissImperfectlyFine. The one who visited Sky was still the author Butterfly.

Why?

He couldn't wrap his head around it, but it made more sense as he kept thinking about it. Ai said that she had posted her story accidentally when she was sick.

Was that the time when she was sick with periods?

That added up because immediately a few days after that, he had received the draft from Yunru and hell broke loose.

He had confronted Ai at the library but even so, Ai didn't confess the truth at that time.

"But why did this even happen in the first place!?" He exclaimed to himself.

Jun ran to his bedroom and opened MissImperfectlyFine's books. He read through the pages and recalled how he had slightly felt that her and Ai's writing styles were similar. But she had dismissed it saying that she admired MissImperfectlyFine and took inspiration.

Even when Jun read the draft, for a moment, he had wondered if they were the same person. But after spending time with Ai for all this time, it never crossed his mind that she would lie.

Jun trembled. ?

He stared at the books again. He brushed his palm along the pages.

The writer who had left such a deep impression on him in his past life was someone so closer to him. She lived with him for a month, yet he didn't have a clue. The author who had affected him with her stories and who unknowingly drilled her place in his heart was right beside him all along.

Why Ai…Why?

To get answers to his questions, Jun left his condo and headed straight towards Ai's house. He didn't care if it was late at night, but he wanted his answers at all costs.

He reached her apartment but abruptly stopped in his steps when he noticed a familiar figure just coming out of the building's gate.

Jun froze. He kept his gaze fixed at Yating who left the apartment, his face marred with tension and anxiousness. He didn't notice Jun standing at a distance.

What the fuck is he-

He stiffened as it dawned upon him.

Ai was MissImperfectlyFine. She worked in Dream High and in the past life, she and Yating seemed to have had a special relationship. From the way Yating behaved towards Ai after the book signing event, it only meant that he had feelings for her.

Realizing the connection between Ai and Yating made his heart burst with fury. He tightly and dangerously balled his fist, his dark brown pupils glinting with an alarm.

Ai and Yating…

On the other side, Ai took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Yating rushed to her home without giving a heads-up as soon as the post got viral. He wanted answers just like Jun wanted to. Ai briefly talked to him and also apologized for causing trouble to Dream High, all professionally and by keeping a distance from him.

In the end, she sent him back without telling him why she wanted to move to Sky. Yating could only respect her decision and leave.

Her phone buzzed with a message from Xing Bi again. This was almost the twentieth time she had asked for her well-being.

Naturally, Ai was receiving a lot of hate once her post was published. Xing Bi was worried sick about her mental state.

'Just stay calm and don't look at the comments, okay!'

Ai softly smiled and replied. 'I won't. I am fine Xing Bi. Trust me.'

She softly exhaled.

*Bang bang bang!*

Ai sharply jolted, hearing loud banging from her door.

Who…? Is it Yating again? But he already-

*Bang bang!*

Ai quickly rushed, afraid that the person would wake up the whole apartment complex. She opened the door and immediately felt a chill run in the back of her neck.

She slowly lifted her gaze and stiffened.

"Jun…"????????????????????????????. ᴄo????
