Students From Whiteroom

Something That Only Exists When I Don't Know It

Under the torrential rain, two people were standing looking at each other. The two people were a middle-aged man, and a second-year student.

Under the night wind that stroked my hair, they had a conversation.

They deliberately spoke under the torrent of rain, so that no one would hear what they were talking about. After the conversation was over, a secret agreement was made.

* * *

Today Maya is again treated in the UKS room. The room is located on the third floor, adjacent to the OSIS room. Actually he could have taken a day off and rested in the dormitory.

However, he prefers to go to school. As a result, she was taken by Amelia to the UKS room to rest.

In the UKS Maya room accompanied by Amelia. He feels responsible for yesterday's incident for taking Maya to the cafeteria. However, I think Maya's health has been problematic since the beginning. The plan is, I want to see the girl at recess.

That time finally came. When I reached the UKS room, Maya was seen lying weakly. He slept well. I tried to sit on the bench next to his bed without interrupting his rest.

He looks so good. With the door unlocked, there could have been a bad person coming in and doing the no-no to him. After I imagined that thought, I felt guilty. I hate my dirty thoughts.

I saw my face flushed in the small mirror hanging in the room. I listen to my footsteps. I thought Amelia was accompanying this girl. However, he's not here.

The clock is ticking. Three minutes later, Amelia came. He looked surprised to see my presence next to Maya.

"Male? How did you get in?"

"I'm getting in normally."

"How is it customary? The door of this room I locked. How did you get inside?"

Waitie? Whahuh? This door is locked?

"Ti.no-no. I'm sure the door to this room isn't locked. That's why I can get in easily."

"Uuuhh.." sounded someone whimpering.

Maya's eyes opened slowly. "What's really going on?"

His words were lethargic and powerless. His voice was very slow, even though I could still hear him.

"Ma.sorry me. You rest in peace" I said.

Amelia pinched me immediately. Maya closes her eyes again. After that Amelia immediately pulled me out of the room, so that the two of us would not interfere with her rest.

"You know what you said just like someone who let your dead friend know!!"

I'm appalled. "Ehh really? I didn't mean to"

"Forgetit." He cut my words.

"By the way how did you get inside?"

"Su..I told you, the door is unlocked."

"I'm sure the door is locked. Because when I wanted to get in, the door was locked."

Try thinking. "Maybe Maya opened the door for me?"

Amelia hit me with her little book. "He's ill. How could he open the door just for a friend who wants to see him."

Ah he's right. When I came in, Maya was sleeping. So there's no way she's opening me the door.

"Explain to me how you got in!"

Sayup-sayup I again heard the sound of footsteps.

"Std... Amelia's." I motioned for Amelia to shut up. Amelia followed me.

I heard the sound of footsteps I heard.

"I think I already know how I got in. Well even if this is just my guess."

Amelia looked curious. His eyes sparkled brightly reflecting the light from outside the window.

"Explain!"

"Follow me."

A handyman was replacing a dim light bulb in 2nd grade. He uses a master key that only teachers or employees can use. We saw him open and lock the door a few times.

"Possibly when the father wanted to change the light bulb in the UKS room, he abandoned his intention to see Maya resting there.

But he forgot to lock the door, so I could get into the room when he went to another class. Well when he passed that UKS room again, he locked the door."

Amelia seemed to think for a moment. "It seems your theory is correct. That's the only reasonable explanation."

"alright. Let's go back. Poor Maya alone in the UKS room."

"All right." Amelia nodded in agreement.

We both came back.

"Mel, where were you?"

Amelia blushed a little embarrassed. "So I went to the wc for a minute."

I'm speechless. He looks blushed. I'm a little sorry to ask. By the time we arrived, Maya had been sitting leaning on the bed.

"Maya, rest again. Your body condition is still not healthy" said Amelia.

"I've been feeling good. After all, it's not safe to leave someone sick alone with the door unlocked."

Amelia and I looked at each other.

Then he tried hard to lay Maya back. And Maya also tried to stay seated.

"alright. Looks like you've done well" I told Maya. "So I'm going to the cafeteria."

Maya looked at me with a strange look. Like there's something he wants to say. Because the break is almost over. I can only hope that my favorite doughnuts are not over yet.

* * *

"So what's up?" I asked a girl who was lying weakly on a UKS mattress. She's Maya, 'my boyfriend'. That's what we call it in the deal.

Before I left, Maya held me back because there was something she wanted to talk about. Amelia gave time for both of us and went to the Disciplinary Committee room and will be back as soon as our affairs are done.

We are both in this room. Maya looks at me with sparkling eyes. His hand held tightly to my hand. I can feel the warmth from his hands. But I was afraid of what he would say.

"Male."

"A..what?"

"I have five puzzles. I need you to finish it."

I've guessed. I feel I deserve to be wary of Maya. Just finished a replay, and he wants to make me bother.

"sorry. I can't seem to finish it."

Because I don't want to be bothered, I thought.

Maya smiles. Behind her smile, I found out that she had planned something. Unfortunately, the plan involved me.

"Do you want to be free from our current agreement?"

He should have smiled. It's an unexpected offer. Of course I nodded for sure. Who does not want to be free from slavery. It seemed like everything had been well planned by him. I can't get out of his game.

"alright. This is the first puzzle. So here's the puzzle. I got something. Something that only exists as long as you don't know it. Find something immediately."

My head was filled with many question marks. It felt like there were millions of question marks eating away at my brain. "What does that mean?"

His head slightly lifted with arrogance.

"You have to solve the point yourself."

"If you feel inadequate, no problem" he continued in a mocking tone.

Alright. I feel challenged to break it. Although, I doubt whether I can solve the puzzle from him or not.

After giving the riddle, the two of us chatted casually while waiting for Amelia to return, Because I couldn't just leave Maya alone in the UKS room.

When Amelia returned, I went to the cafeteria in the hope that my favorite doughnuts would not be sold out.
