— The worst day of my life. — Etia was sitting on a bed with empty eyes. A terrible thing happened to her, and it was called children.

— It couldn't be that bad. — Alan was next to her, trying to lift her mood. — I'm sure you can quickly fix whatever happened.

Etia didn't notice him about her job. She knew that he would tell her there was no need to work.

— They are devils, I tell you. I made the biggest mistake ever.

— What even happened? — Alan wanted to resolve any issue she had, even if it destroyed his and Jaon's relationship.

— Let me tell you. — Basked in the setting sun's light, she started telling him a real horror story.

----------------------------------------

After accepting her job, Etia started reading the materials she had to teach. She didn't have to learn a lot because it would be the very first math lesson they ever had.

It didn't take her long to think up a teaching plan. Her ability to learn was a great help since she never taught anyone.

“Should I do subtractions too? I will start with addition, and we'll see.”

Etia wanted to make the best lesson anyone received. She looked at the clock and saw that her class would start in a few minutes.

After taking all books she needed, Etia left her room and went toward the place where she would teach.

A man left it and saw Etia.

— My condolences for your choice. — He made a slight bow and quickly left.

— I'm getting chills. — Etia opened the door and saw her students.

— We finally have a math teacher.

— When is it going to end?

One was a teen girl playing something on her phone, and the other was a boy lying on his desk.

The room was organized like a classroom. Etia could use a whiteboard to display anything she wanted.

— My name is Etia Osun, and I will be your math teacher. Let's star--

— Shut up! — The boy named Oll screamed at Etia. — Go back home and find yourself a tail.

— I'm sorry for his behavior. — Oll's twin sister, Ola, apologized to her. — Our first teacher taught him wrong. My brother is very hostile against people like you because of that.

— I'm used to it. — Etia was more surprised than offended. She thought that a person like him would have trouble living in a city of nature's rejects.

“Anything goes, as long as you have rich parents.” Etia knew she would have an easy life if her parents would have a lot of money.

— Let's get onto the class. — Etia started teaching the most tortuous lesson of her life.

----------------------------------------

— I was lucky to have a student like you. — Alan hugged her closely and praised her character. — Teaching you was a pure pleasure.

— Thanks. — Etia supported her head on his shoulder. Simply being like this made her feel relieved. — My school teachers were a lot worse than you, too.

Etia and Alan stayed in this position for a few seconds, before they both started undressing. It was a choice made almost telepathically.

It was after midnight. Etia was using Alan's chest as a pillow, while he was carrying her hair. They were still sleeping off the long journey.

— Do you plan to continue working? I'm sure we have enough to live off without your income. I don't want you to have a depressing job.

— Don't worry. I have nothing better to do since the maids are taking place of our room, and I'm not the best cook. At least I can repay mister Jaon's kindness.

Not long after, in that pose, they peacefully fell asleep.

----------------------------------------

— Good morning. — Alan leaned forward

— Mhm. — Etia was welcomed by Alan's kiss and a warm greeting. — What time is it?

— Almost ten.

After hearing that, Etia fully woke up. She stood up and started dressing, but Alan interrupted her by pulling her onto the bed.

— It's Sunday. You should stop hurrying so much, especially since you said the lessons start at 14.

— Right. I forgot I no longer work in the store. — She was used to getting up at six a.m, not two p.m. — Do you have any plans for today?

— How about a date? We haven't seen much of the city, so it shouldn't be boring.

— Nice idea. — This time, she stood up calmly and dressed slowly. Etia and Alan didn't hide their body from each other, so they put on their clothes next to each other. Coincidentally, Alan and Etia both put on the same outfits they wore on the day of the accident when they had to escape. This made them laugh a little.

Now, such a disaster was nothing more than a bad, distant, and burning memory.
