[Signora's pov.]
"Finally you're here," Signora turned to the two who walked out of the door. Signora texted Childe and Scaramouche to meet up with her outside the house.
"Morning what happened?" Childe greeted approached her. "The third year of high school, I have a bad feeling," Signora sighed.
"What? What are you talking about?" Scaramouche questioned. Signora turned to Scaramouche with a serious expression.
"Y/n decided to add a random number in our girl's group chat. I stayed quiet pretending to be asleep so I wouldn't get found but that number is familiar," Signora explained.
Childe didn't know what she was getting at here but his heart started beating fast also beginning to worry.
"It's Jiwoo's number," Signora finally said making Scaramouche's eyes widen. She wasn't worrying about Childe as he had no problem but it was mostly Scaramouche.
Scaramouche was sent to therapy, his reputation damaged, college wasn't a choice for him, and he got expelled. Of course he suffered a lot more things because of the two and Signora knew all that.
"So? That was all in the past," Scaramouche let out with a deep breath. "Of course I know that but will it all be in the past if even he gets y/n involved," Signora frowned.
"Y/n told us about it last night before she went to sleep. Jiwoo started texting her in dms," Signora added.
"You think he's trying to get close to y/n?" Childe shoved his hands in his pockets leaning against the wall. He just wanted to have a fun summer but even more problems were coming.
Third year was a stretch for them, it was long into the future but it was still going to be a problem no matter what.
"Did you even explain the full story to y/n or did you just tell her a brief summary? If so then Jiwoo's going to be more a problem for you than us," Signora closed her eyes before clicking her tongue in annoyance.
"And don't get expelled again, for y/n's sake at least," Signora added before walking past the two of them and heading inside.
"I know that I'm not like that anymore and this time he's not gonna be able to control me like before."
"So? You gonna explain the story to y/n?" Childe turned to Scaramouche who's head was down staring at the floor.
"Sure ... the end of summer."

"Hu tao? Why are you the only one inside?" You walked down the stairs to find Hu tao laying on her stomach kicking her legs on the couch.
"I wasn't the only one here, Scaramouche was here. But hey today ... Scaramouche feels a little different," Hu tao sat up with a frown.
"Scaramouche?" You repeated confused on what she was talking about and walked closer to her sitting down beside her.
"I don't know he's always bickering with Childe but today he didn't even bat an eye. You think something happened?" Hu tao gave a concerned look.
You also began to feel worried but hid it, "i'll check up on him i'm sure he's fine maybe he just had no energy," you assured.
You were about to say something when your phone buzzed a notification, you pulled out your phone to see it was a text from Jiwoo.
Hu tao hummed curiously leaning in to read the contact name, "jiwoo? oh! the guy from the group chat. What's he doing?" Hu tao tilted her head.
"I don't know he said I had good vibes or something honestly starting to freak me out," you sighed about to put your phone away when Hu tao stopped you.
"Just see what he wants! If it's weird block him or leave him on read, I'm getting curious over here you know?"
"Yeah yeah," you unlocked your phone and began to text him.
victim!

"I'm telling you the guy creeps me out," you turned your phone off after showing Hu tao the recent messages.
"he's weird ... agh whatever pay no attentin to him."
"no plans on doing so and plus Scaramouche is the only one for me," you stated getting up and turning around when you bumped into someone.
"completely correct," a familiar voice spoke with a smile. You opened your eyes and your mood was brought up to see a pair of indigo eyes.
"scaramouche! where were you?" you blinked tilting your body to look behind him. there stood childe and signora who began to wave at you with a smile.
"we went on a walk to talk about some things did you just wake up?" childe chuckled.
"yep! wanna eat some breakfast?" You offered to cook getting an eager nod from Hu tao and Childe who was hungry.
"hey y/n have you gotten any texts from jiwoo lately?" signora brought up as you were putting your hair in a ponytail so it wouldn't get in the way of cooking.
"oh right jiwoo," you paused as you began to slouch with a moody expression, "yeah he texted me just now asking me about my plans for today," you answered.
Scaramouche hummed, "seems interested in you," scaramouche walked up to you reaching his hand out and tucking the leftover strands of hair behind your ear.
"jealous? even if he is I have no interest in him at all," you shrugged getting a smile from scaramouche.
Scaramouche had problems with Jiwoo in the past, he had a feeling that Jiwoo was gonna get in the way between you but as of now you just confirmed you wouldn't even let that happen.
He likes the feeling of being assured by you that you weren't going to leave him. That no matter what happens you'll see him the same and no less.
"Want to help?" You turned to Scaramouche getting some stuff from the cabinets. "Sure," Scaramouche accepted walking up to you and beginning to help.
He had no worries at all, absolutely none after all it was you and he knew that he could trust you because you accepted him either way.
He wanted you to feel that way, he wanted you to know he was never going to look at another girl like he does to you because you were the only one he wanted.
And no one else, not even Jiwoo can change that.
