Chapter 96

Even though it was still early evening, the corridor in front of the banquet hall buzzed with activity. Some were awaiting their partners, others were scrambling to find partners, and there were even friends who came just to observe the commotion. It was a scene I had witnessed every year.
Amid the crowd, I spotted two tall figures, Luca and Joshua.
'So, they really did decide to be partners in the end.'
"Lu? Josh?"
"Oh, Lili!"
As I navigated my way through the bustling crowd, Joshua grabbed my wrist and gently pulled me closer to him. Then, he positioned me between himself and Luca, with a hint of furrowed brows on his face.
‘I appreciate that you're making space for me, but getting angry as soon as you see me? ...Well, I should understand. He did get played right in front of his eyes. To be exact, his partner got switched right in front of his eyes.’
"Do you remember what happened yesterday?" Luca asked with a bright smile.
I narrowed my eyes slightly.
