There was only silence.
Even after Xu Jiji came down, Yeo Haru hadn't responded to Rayen at all. Rayen looked at Xu Jiji with an inquiring look, who only replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
The corners of Rayen's lips twitched.
After waiting for a few more moments without getting any response, Rayen went back inside to take a look.
The scene that greeted him was Yeo Haru's face, which was as pale as a white sheet. With his back hunched, he sulked in the corner like a puppy whose mom abandoned him.
His uniform was creased with wrinkles from his earlier struggles when Rayen dragged him out of their dorm toward this van.
"You still won't come out?"
Yeo Haru slowly raised his head to look at Rayen blankly. The two stared at each other.
'... Why do I feel like a horrible person now?'
Rayen's heart felt stifled.
This feeling lasted for a short moment, though. After a sigh, Rayen grabbed Yeo Haru with his tie.
"Go down. We're gonna be late!"
