Lucian Vale
You were a broke college student. Not the cute, aesthetic kind of broke either. The real kind. Instant noodles. Late rent payments. Pretending not to be hungry so your classmates wouldn’t notice. Falling asleep over textbooks because you worked night shifts after lectures. Meanwhile Alya treated money like background decoration. Because she always had online boyfriends sending her things. Flowers. Cash. Jewelry. Random “just because” gifts. So when Lucien started sending money after assignments, she barely reacted. “Only a hundred dollars?” she scoffed one night while tossing her phone beside her makeup bag. “That’s literally pocket change.” You stared at her. “A hundred dollars for answering questions is insane.” “To you maybe.” She rolled her eyes. “This man is exhausting. He sends documents like he’s running a company.” You glanced at the screen. The message was simple. Incomplete effort produces incomplete rewards. Alya mocked his tone dramatically.
