It has been a few weeks ever since they had their school trip and nothing much happened. The school trip was fun until it lasted, the girl got to spend a lot of time with Bam.

The pictures they had was printed out by Bam, he framed two pictures and placed it in his bedside table, so that he can look at it every morning and night, he also gave one to (Name). His mood would shoot up when he looks at the pictures, heck he'd even smile in his sleep.

Arlene's reaction on the news that her baby boy  finally have his mate, she was ecstatic and proud for Bam, she was glad that Bam's mate was (Name).

The brown haired mother didn't mind the fact that her son had marked someone at the age of eighteen, it was normal. She was marked by V when she was only sixteen, seems that Bam had more self control than her husband.

On the other hand, Bam's father, V, doesn't have any reaction, he had always expected Bam to be able to mark someone early.

While (Name)'s grandmother, Aiko was surprised that her granddaughter would allow Bam to mark her since, after all (Name) first hated Bam but now look at her, staring at her and that boy's picture before she sleeps.

Aiko was also delighted that Bam was her granddaughter's mate. Bam is a sweet, responsible, respectful and loving boy, a guy that was almost everyone's dream guy.

The (h/c) haired girl was more busier than usual for she had this upcoming competition with the other school. She was told to attend study sessions after class and every Saturday by her class adviser.

She was the representative of the whole school, so (Name) would do everything to win in this intelligence competition. She spent most of her time studying and reading books that were meant for college students.

She was inspired and motivated on study even harder because Bam supports her. Her mate waits for her every time she had a study session after class, Bam would be seated right beside her while she was studying and was being instructed by her blonde haired adviser, Lero Ro.

Her sky blue haired male friend was no where to be seen since he doesn't want to go home late. He just wanted to be in his room playing his games and sleep, he only do his homework just one minute before he goes to bed.

After atleast three hours of studying, the adviser finally dismissed his student candidate for the competition, he was glad that (Name) was cooperative unlike the students from last year.

Their classes finish at three in the afternoon, and the study sessions with Mr. Lero Ro would be three hours everyday, meaning that (Name) would have to go home at six in the evening.

"Thank you for today, Mr. Ro." (Name) said as she bowed her head respectfully to the teacher. Lero Ro then gave a nod and a wave at Bam for being supportive at his mate before leaving the library with his hand bag.

Bam helped (Name) clean the table, he placed the girl's belongings on to her bag, he the carried it with his free hand while his other hand was holding his mate's.

He noticed that (Name) have been looking tired and he didn't want to let (Name) carry her heavy bag up to her home, she'd be even more tired if she's done that.

He missed the days at the school trip, he and (Name) were just having fun with no worried or anything unlike now, they had to worry about school and extra curricular activities.

"Thanks, Bam." The girl breathed out, her shoulders slumped as she walked beside her mate. Her eyes were tired from all the reading that she had done, plus she also needed to do her homeworks at home. Being a school representative was very exhausting.

Bam shook his head and even smiled at the tired girl before saying, "No need to thank me." He was already happy enough with just being beside his beloved mate.

As they walked hand in hand the long hallways of the school, the two passed by their physical education teacher or Bam's uncle that was named, Urek Mazino.

"Good afternoon.." (Name) greeted when she went past the ash blonde teacher.

Urek was still walking but he suddenly stopped when he saw his nephew holding hands with the girl he scared off before.

His brows formed into a furrow as he looked at the two, but then he grinned after a few minutes of sinking in the information that his precious nephew finally found his mate.

He scratched his head when he thought of Garam, his wife who keeps on kicking him out of his own house, he hopes that (Name) wouldn't be like that to Bam. Not that Bam would do anything that would make his girl be vexed with him.

The couple were already out of the school gates, the breeze that greeted them was chilly, the skies were already dark and the stars were appearing.

(Name) held Bam's hand tightly, she was still uneasy walking home at night but she was delighted that Bam was always there by her side. She would've probably ran straight to home of her mate was by her side walking her home.

Suddenly, Bam stopped walking, making the girl beside him look confused. "Bam?" (Name) asked.

"Want some ice cream crêpe?" Bam asked and at the same time turned his head to the stall at the side of the street. He smiled when he saw (Name) nod happily like a child, he then pulled the girl to the stall.

Even though the streets were dark, Bam's face a bright, he seeking lit up the whole place in (Name)'s eyes.

There was no day that Bam wouldn't smile brightly at his girl.

Onc Bam had his order, he gave the ice cream crêpe to (Name) who was waiting patiently at some bench that was near the crêpe stall. He took a seat beside the girl and even placed arm over her shoulder, pulling (Name) close to his side.

The feeling of warmth was the best, (Name) loves it. (Name) ate her crêpe delightfully, she bit onto the ice cream while Bam ate his own crêpe only in a few minutes.

"Don't stay up too late studying, alright? I'll help you with our homeworks if you want." Bam suggested, he was ready to study for (Name), he didn't like how (Name) would show up at school looking all pale and sleep deprived.

"I won't stay up late.. and thank you." The girl replied and at tye same time looked up at her mate, she let out a soft smile.

Bam chuckled and placed a kiss onto (Name)'s temple, he then stroked her hair. He was thankful that (Name) listens to him easily, the only thing he didn't like was (Name) following almost all of his request, yes, almost all.

"Like I said, you don't have to thank me. It's part of my responsibility for being your mate." He said with full sincerity. He was ready to bear the responsibility of being (Name)'s mate even before he marked her.

The (h/c) haired girl stared at her crêpe, the ice cream was already melting since she haven't touched it for a few minutes. "I haven't done anything for you.. what should I do?" She asked, feeling guilty of how she haven't done anything good to Bam yet.

Upon hearing the his mate's reply, he ran a hand through his hair before saying, "Just continue to love me." He winked at his girl after he finished his sentence.

Bam words made the girl at his side blush, she placed a hand over her cheek as she buried her blushing face in Bam's chest. She still couldn't get used to how Bam was being flirty with her.

At first she thought that Bam would be much more soft than before, but it turns out that Bam can be cheeky and mischievous at times.

Though despite being cheeky, Bam was still over protective over (Name), he'd was wary of those people who go near his mate, but not Khun. Khun was still, mateless. He'll probably find his pair when he's in college or something, he also might possibly grow up alone.

(Name) turned back to her ice cream crêpe, she was about to bite into it but then Bam grabbed her hand that was holding the crêpe, he pulled (Name)'s hand up to his face and took a large bite of the said treat. He chewed on the food with a triumphant smile.

"Bam!" (Name) whined when all the ice cream was gone, Bam ate almost all of her treat.

"What? The ice cream was melting, you took too long to eat." Bam reasoned and tried to look innocent, he then laughed when he saw (Name) pouting while eating the small piece of crêpe on her hand in one bite.

He stood up and held out his hand to (Name), in which the girl quickly held onto it. He took the two bags on his side and then began walking when (Name) was already done patting her uniform to remove any kind of dust and wrinkles that she had on her clothing.

The streets were already dark and the only light that was providing the place was the lampposts that scattered in the streets.

The couple began walking to (Name)'s house, walking there only took them a couple of minutes since the stall they where bought the crêpe was near the (Last Name)'s estate.

Once they were now standing in front of (Name)'s front door, Bam was about to pull away his hand but (Name) wouldn't let go. She stared forward for a brief moment before turning her head at her mate.

Bam raised his brows and smiled when (Name) was being clingy again, he then said, "I'll call you later, alright? I can sing you to sleep." He grinned and pats the girl's head.

"The days are too fast. I want to spend more time with you." (Name) groaned as she took her bag on her mate's hand, placing it on the side of the door.

The male let out yet another chuckle again, he loves this time of the night, not because he was leaving (Name), it's because of how (Name) acts. Like when the girl won't let go of Bam until he says so.

"Don't worry, we'll see eachother tomorrow. We can also video call later if you want?"

"Of course, I want that.." (Name) spoke in a hushed voice, she took a deep breath before leaning up on her tippy toes and planting a kiss on Bam's cheek.

This was the first time that (Name) initiated a kiss, she was bashful on being affectionate. She couldn't do kiss on the lips but it was fine since she likes being slow.

After feeling (Name)'s kiss, Bam gaped at the girl but then he smiled once again. He leaned onto the girl's ear and opened his mouth to speak, saying,

"I love you."

The (e/c) eyed girl's blood rushed up to her face when she heard Bam's words, plus she could feel Bam's breaths tickling her ear. She looked away and whispered, "I-I love you too Bam."

With that, the couple pulled away from eachother. The male's smile turned into a grin when he heard his girl say those three words that he desired from her, he bets that he'd have an amazing sleep today because of (Name).

The sound of (Name) saying 'I love You' kept on repeating on his mind. Bam now waved his hands goodbye at his mate before walking away, leaving (Name) alone standing inside of her house. Time do go fast.

The girl then closed the front door behind her back when Bam's figure was no longer to be seen. She took her bag that was on the side and  dragged it on her walk, she didn't bother to get a dinner since she have biscuits in her room.

Her grandmother, Aiko wasn't there waiting for (Name). She didn't have to since (Name) now usually goes home late because of the competition.

She just spend her time reading and sleeping because if she ever tries to clean her enormous house then she'd be instantly tired.

(Name) trudged to her room, she was much more wary of her surroundings for it was already dark. The light providing the hallways were the small lamps at the ends of each hallways.

She felt the hairs on her nape just before she opened the door to her room, but when she actually opened it, she was greeted with the picture frame of her and Bam on the floor, it's glass on it was cracked and broken.

But how can it be broken?

There was no window in her room or any place that the wind can go in.

Her door was always locked.

So how?
