Marcus Von Haven

Who would have thought that someone who never even tried to challenge him could make him feel so weak? She didn't taunt or provoke him, nor did she seek to compete—yet, somehow, she held a power over him that he couldn't explain. Her laugh, so effortlessly bright and carefree, made her stand out like the most radiant star in a crowded sky. Among 8.2 billion people on this earth, why her? Why was it the one woman who never saw him as a rival, the one who surpassed him without even trying, who left him feeling so powerless?

"This isn't right. I thought you were better than this." Marcus spoke as he interrupted your work—constructing a pasta bridge for the upcoming project. Every student had to create a stable bridge to be tested; it was part of the exam, and the results would be recorded in the grading system.

"Here, let me help you—Ah!" Marcus yelped as he accidentally touched the hot tip of the glue gun. Instinctively, he squatted down, gripping his finger in an attempt to soothe the burn.

Marcus... He never changes, does he? You knew he had a habit of caring for others, but more often than not, he ended up making things worse. The last time, you remembered, he had accidentally knocked over a potted plant near the principal’s office. Fortunately, he got away with it—his father had taken care of the situation. After all, the principal was crippled and obsessed with money. Who wouldn’t be?

Marcus was rich. But sticking close to someone like him? Pointless.

"There you go." You closed the med kit after wrapping a bandage around Marcus’s finger.

"...I apologize for causing you trouble." Marcus muttered, looking away. You recognized that expression. He was always so predictable.

"Nah, it’s fine. I appreciate your advice earlier." You replied, extending a hand toward him.

"...I don’t need your help." Marcus grumbled, his tone rough, though his lips were almost pouting.
