Just after their breakfast, Davi received an unexpected call from Ms. Lee asking her to meet her right away. That moment, Davi bit her lip hard as she looked at the masked man across her.
Ah, what a great timing… why now?
Davi felt as though luck seemed to be not in her side this time. It was because, she already planned to spend the day with him now that he’s back. She even planned to execute some steps through out the day and then ask him out for another date.
She wanted to stay with him, but at the same time, she knew that there might be important things that her teacher wanted to tell her about her coming exam.
On the other hand, Sei who was looking at her noticed the change in her expression.
“Is there something wrong?” he asked and Davi immediately cleared her throat.
“Ah… err… my teacher is asking me to meet her, I think it’s about my coming exam,” she replied honestly.
“It’s fine. You can go,”
“Eh? But… I told you I’ll make up for yesterday’s…”
“You can still do that tomorrow.”
“R-really? You’re not going to leave again?”
“Mm. I won’t leave.”
Hearing him said he won’t leave made Davi felt ecstatic and the light in her eyes returned immediately. She was happy to know that he will stay.
“I’m really glad. I thought you’re going to leave again that’s why I… okay then, I will go right away and finish whatever it is,” she said with great energy before she ran away upstairs to get herself ready.
That moment, Sei was quietly looking at the direction where she went when Zaki popped out in front of him.
“Heh… are you sure about letting her go for today?” he asked mischievously but Sei just looked at him and no word came out of his mouth.
However, the man still continued talking. “Even though you’re so lonely because of her absence yesterday, you’ll still let her leave?”
Hearing his words, Sei remained silent for a moment before he finally opened his mouth.
“Lonely… did I?” Sei replied with his usual blank tone, causing Zaki to snap and talked loudly at him, as though he was a mom desperately convincing his son.
“You’re obviously lonely, my keen eyes won’t fail me so don’t dare deny it! Even if you think differently, your mood yesterday is definitely loneliness, do you understand? You even looked like you just wanted to teleport beside her the whole time, you know?”
Upon hearing him, Sei’s gaze just directed into the opened window as he replied.
“Even if what you said is true… I can’t chain her even if I want to.”
That moment, Zaki sat on the chair slowly. He looked at the cold masked man as he rested his face on his hand.
“It’s not like you can’t, Sei. You know you could, but you’re just afraid to do anything that may hurt her. Am I right?”
Sei glanced at Zaki the moment he heard his words. However, he continued gazing at the openned window, silently.
