Jayden had been ready to offer an invitation just to be polite, but Ethan was significantly faster than him.
He didn't even give Jayden a chance to open his mouth before he turned his cold, piercing gaze toward Leo.
"You guys can go have water in your own rooms," Ethan stated flatly, his voice like a sheet of ice.
Before Jayden or the rest of the teammates could even process the blunt rejection, Ethan had already turned the handle.
He didn't just walk in; he effectively dragged Jayden into the room with their hands still firmly enclosed.
As soon as they were both over the threshold, Ethan slammed the door shut with a definitive thud, leaving the rest of the basketball team standing in the hallway.
The moment the latch clicked, Ethan dropped Jayden's hand as if it were a piece of burning coal, distancing himself immediately.
On the other side of the door, Adam and the others could only exchange wry smiles.
