anwhile, Viktor, who was about to leave the roof, quickly hid when he saw Sayana coming up to the roof, making him quickly change into Dorian persona as he ca out with a smile, "Saya?"
Her pale olive skin was gleaming under the gentle sunlight, and her long exotic red hair was tied up into a ponytail. Her light green eyes always had that subli and pure charm that could skip the heartbeat of any man. She was wearing a fluffy sweatshirt and pants as usual, though Viktor felt that she should wear clothes that didn't hide the curves of her artful body.
'Tsk, here I go thinking these things again…'
Sayana, who had co up to catch so fresh air and imrse herself in her thoughts, was surprised to see Dorian here, "Dorian? W-What are you doing here?"
Viktor softly smiled as he caressed his hair and said, "I just ca here to ditate. Your mother told it would be good for my mind and body."
"Ah, she tells to do that too, and it does help," She then thought of sothing and said in a low voice after a brief hesitation, "By the way, it's a pity we are not in the sa class. I thought you would be in our batch."
"You want in your class?" Viktor asked candidly as he stood beside her and leaned against the rails.
Sayana awkwardly smiled as she said with an evasive gaze, "I just uhm…thought that we could progress our studies together, you know…kind of like study partners as we talked before."
Viktor gave a bright smile and said, "We could still be. I like to learn with you. How about we co up here every day before evening and discuss things for a while?"
Sayana's eyes sparkled as she eagerly smiled, "Of course…I…I would like that."
"So, did you learn anything interesting today? Or how are the teachers?" Viktor decided to ask to get an idea of how our classes were going.
Sayana rembered about Mark's class and said, "There is this teacher nad Mark. He takes two subjects for us, computer programming and bioinformatics. But I think he loves to teach bioinformatics more, and he is really quite good at it, and even talks about interesting things. None of us felt bored during his classes or maybe most didn't," Sayana reiterated as she rembered Tiana sleeping right after she ca into the class.
"Mark? I think I have seen that teacher before. So he teaches bioinformatics for you? What interesting things does he say to not keep you all bored?" Viktor curiously asked.
Sayana pressed her forefinger against her soft pink lips as she said with a contemplative expression, "Well, he talked about how learning bioinformatics could help us change the world or, most of all, change ourselves. He even ntioned that we could potentially one day gain immortality and beco a higher or more evolved being rather than wait millions of years to undergo small changes."
"Immortality, huh? I hope no one ever finds the answer…" Viktor mumbled with a glazed expression.
"Sorry, I didn't hear that. What did you say?" Sayana asked as she leaned in her face a bit.
Viktor quickly pulled back his thoughts and said with a smile, "No uh…I wanted to say that the concept of immortality may not be as beautiful as it seems."
Sayana was a bit surprised to hear his words and asked curiously, "But why do you say that?"
Viktor caressed the bridge of his nose as he said, "It's nothing much. I just imagined if I was immortal and what my future would be like. Like after a hundred years, most of the things around might not be the sa, while the people I care about would disappear as well. You also wouldn't be around , and we won't be able to do things together anymore."
Sayana felt a slight tug in her heart when Dorian said that he would miss people, including her if he was immortal, and she also realized that immortality cos with a price.
She now felt that immortality may not be a good thing necessarily, not that she was interested in gaining immortality anyway.
"Well, immortality was just one of the things Mr. Mark ntioned. He also said that we could evolve in different ways, however, we like, be it gaining strength, intelligence, or even just things like confidence. So I thought—"
"What would you like to gain?" Viktor suddenly asked, making Sayana's expression a bit complicated as she answered after a few monts, "I uhm…I don't know, but I just know I want to beco a better version of myself. I just don't feel happy with how I am now," Sayana thought of how she was very socially awkward and didn't have much confidence in herself. She always felt like she was alienated from other people and always had been alienated for all these years until Dorian ca into her life and talked to her like a normal person and even beca her friend.
But all these years before, she felt as if she couldn't fit into society because of how she was and wanted to change that.
"Why do you say that? You are perfect and beautiful the way you are already," Viktor said with an artless gaze, making Sayana's cheeks flush in a pretty pink as she evaded his gaze, feeling flutters in her heart.
"Y-You…really think that?" Sayana asked, still evading his gaze as she looked straight at the horizon. She was feeling very flustered and couldn't understand how he could say things like that without any hesitation. Or knowing his nature, she felt as if he was telling the truth from the bottom of his heart.
Viktor looked at her radiant and cute face as he said, "I wouldn't have it any other way. And if sobody says you are inadequate, then they must be feeling jealous that you are better than them. That's what my mother told ."
Sayana slowly looked towards Dorian and softly smiled as she nodded, feeling that maybe being Sayana wasn't so bad after all.
But most of all, looking at this tall and cute man before her, she couldn't help but feel her heart getting pulled towards him like a magnet.
