Love Labyrinth
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICW7Q9AyXC
Alina and her family were living a beautiful life.
Her father, although a strict man, never failed to show his love.
Her parents often argued, but since they loved each other so much, they would reconcile quickly. And then, there was her jealous brother, David… His only job seemed to be teasing Alina, yet he was always by her side.
That’s how they lived, until one day, a man moved across the street. He became Alina’s first love—and the one who would destroy the balance of her entire family.

Chapter 1 – The First Time I Saw Him

So many things piled up: moving, cleaning, unpacking… all in one day.
Since Alina’s father was a police officer, moving from New York to Los Angeles for school hadn’t been easy. They had gone through exhausting times.

But their mother was always there to support them. Whenever they had a problem, she would be the one to heal their wounds.

Alina and David had to share the same room because the new house was small. As usual, the sibling quarrels had already begun.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuDbleI4EY
Alina: Go sleep in the living room!
David: No way, you’re the one who’s going! Move it!

Classic brother problem, let’s say.
Their father, Tom, rarely interfered, but their mother, Wanda, never wanted them to fight.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuurKbvW0SB
Wanda: You’re siblings. Don’t do this.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh3BNrGNZz
David and Alina, at the same time:
— We’re not doing anything!
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7gF5xWNvz
They never wanted to upset their mother, because Wanda had once come back from the brink of death… and they feared something might happen to her again.

It was their first days in the new home.
Alina was going to buy some bread for breakfast.
She put on her shiny pink slippers, opened the map on her phone, and started walking toward the market.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OuH8rZIJY
When she arrived at the location, she realized she had come to a park instead. She must have made a mistake. There were some boys sitting there, and she went over to ask them where the market was.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD8Oh4zk3c
Before Alina could even open her mouth, one of the boys sneered:
— Look at her outfit!
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsVSNmQszh
He laughed mockingly.
Alina wished the ground would swallow her, but there was no one else to ask. Ignoring their remarks, she asked where the market was.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6kd7BeiD2
— Just wait two minutes over there. We’re talking about something important. We’ll tell you where it is after.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTcepDBn27
Oh my God… Alina’s eyes had already fallen on the boy playing with a bottle in his hand. Something about him pulled her in so strongly that she didn’t even notice what the others were saying. Without a word, she began to walk away a little.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKB00wiBT9
One of the boys: Hey, Adrian, stop playing with that bottle! It’s your turn—truth or dare.
Adrian: Yeah? What do you want?
Boy: That girl—make her fall for you. Date her for a week.
Adrian: No. Not my type.
Boy: Idiot. You’ll break up anyway. You have to do it, we all did.
Adrian: And how am I supposed to do that?
Boy: Her eyes are already on you. She’s so naive—it’ll be easy. We’ll even watch your first date.
Adrian: Stupid Jack… How am I supposed to charm her?
Jack: She asked about the market. Go with her. We’ll follow.
Adrian: Damn it. Fine. Stay hidden then.
Jack: Nope. Omar and I are coming with you. Hahaha!
Adrian: Take your stupid bottle. I’m going.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFL52Qnrdu
Alina kept stealing glances at Adrian, trying to hide it. She thought she might already be in love.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWKtcvXQw9
Adrian smirked slightly:
— Come on, I’ll take you there.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZt34X6Aw
It was the first time Alina would walk alone with a boy. Her heart was racing; she didn’t know what to do.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0XreCNBWq
— I can go by myself. she said.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOyhNAVYOM
Adrian sighed deeply inside:
— How will you get there when you don’t even know the way? Come on. He grabbed her hand.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qSsvM6DxJ
Alina thought to herself: I can feel his body through me… I think I’ve fallen in love.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX7s6YSyw0
In a quick motion, she pulled her hand away.
Alina: Look, I see the market. I can go.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClbgD4NPx7
Ah… The boy looked at her with his slanted eyes. Alina’s heart felt like it might stop.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1gEjL5vbT
She ran to cross the street, but a car was coming. Adrian pulled her toward him, and they both fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, Jack and Omar were secretly taking pictures. That wasn’t part of the game—they were cheating!
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIIUWMQoe7
Alina didn’t know what to do, so she closed her eyes tightly.
Adrian stood up, looking disgusted, and glanced at her from head to toe.
From behind, his friends called out:
— Come on, it’s time to charm her!
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0XRuTMTQ8
Adrian wrapped his arm around Alina’s waist, pulled her close, and kissed her.
1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLtfIK6n9d
Her eyes still closed, Alina stayed completely still, frozen.
His friends were shocked.
Apparently, Adrian’s way of “winning” her was kissing her before even asking her out.
