By midnight, the streets had become almost empty.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7SZJbihZN

After walking for nearly an hour, Methon and Valindra reached a small roadside lodge. It was the only place open at that hour, surrounded by trees and silence.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kJySq315U

"We'll stay here until morning," Methon said.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzL4AhDDcg

Valindra nodded.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrb30vr8BN

"Works for me."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLE6WEYGvS

They walked inside.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrWnFxwNLk

An elderly manager sitting behind the reception desk looked at them carefully before smiling.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDHtYQFjYS

"One room?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPe4PHk32l

Methon answered calmly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxYzcmSFwH

"Yes."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iXrrxGlSA

The manager looked at Valindra and then back at Methon with a knowing smile.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymYT0rnbI0

"Young couples usually come here after midnight."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F31hKrv2H

Valindra almost choked.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQbDKGMpzx

"What?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8KrFZUQOF

"We're not a couple!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJfyzuG4pd

The old man laughed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoH6YkeJBh

"Of course... everyone says that."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOwAt5XfEx

Methon remained completely expressionless.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxrdjvprYo

The manager leaned closer and whispered,

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH7wFthV9S

"Boss..."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD88IcGVoFP

"You've got good taste."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbrUWI2CG7

Methon glanced at Valindra for a second before replying with a straight face,

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOKbXxEYIr

"I know."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL9kV19k8c

Valindra's eyes widened.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa0WHjHI8X

"Methon!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmYhpzwAWm

The old man laughed loudly while handing over the room key.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBLpIoE7xM

As they walked upstairs, Valindra punched Methon lightly on the arm.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp0acAWA3w

"What was that?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lZRJRaB1k

He looked innocent.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqn0nxG7Vb

"What?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRzjuieMWq

"You just agreed with him!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAOPOPxosa

"I didn't deny it."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZalu3WBQS

She stopped walking.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotbWe9Ic6R

"You are impossible."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbbsrfxdWq

A small smile appeared on Methon's face.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzGIje1U5Y

It was the first genuine smile he had shown in days.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL86PuzDeBt

Valindra noticed immediately.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY8BXXnrpL

"There!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuVdH6pd7M

"You smiled!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5PYx9XGmh

He cleared his throat.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jk0i9WsfH

"I didn't."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkyhGVX0Jy

"You absolutely did."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGsrDNUl5X

She laughed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIo9lphr6D

"I finally made the grumpy CEO smile."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIp9ScPx8N

Methon stopped walking.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhyOqCfdtb

"How do you know I'm a CEO?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pusibMjiy

Valindra blinked.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScwhVLpWrD

"I don't."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluVpYFekms

"I was just guessing."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wNenCmDBF

He looked surprised for a moment before quietly opening the room door.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0qH2KZsZe

It was a small room with a single bed, one chair, and an old window overlooking the empty road.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMPrFRlOEQ

Valindra looked around.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh8c1H3lhb

"One bed."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yXrdH8gpD

She looked at him.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQ0ZwlwJg

"You sleep there."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6tMZTicId

"I'll take the chair."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7om8KD6gW

Methon shook his head.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc8OlKxStq

"No."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwvaiNnoN5

"You take the bed."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ikSu9nlAe

"I'll stay awake."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexAdX3F3KD

She folded her arms.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd0xBGOoVA

"Don't act like a hero."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOSaRNZL7p

"And don't worry."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxHJiTvlnd

She laughed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw45kLwx74

"I'm not going to accuse you of kidnapping me."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59zx0wi3hq

He couldn't help smiling again.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZBjfUUZjX

She pointed at him proudly.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXYedgphA3

"There!"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060v46jm1e

"Second smile."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBDBLGow6A

"You really should smile more."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0irmYo4NCE

"It suits you."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHxHUkBHi7

For a brief moment...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfPlmypIyg

The room became silent.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt64NP98B1Z

The sadness in Methon's eyes hadn't disappeared.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcrb4YaPKY

But somehow...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrKhBO0cIz

It didn't feel as heavy anymore.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUPXkn2vv2

Valindra sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at him seriously.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XiTraiQxo

"Okay."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgzxlJKjkh

"Enough jokes."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTitjxpoC2M

"Now tell me."

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ANZ5oJscC

"What happened to you?"

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttxJd2gaJu

Methon lowered his eyes.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioxrHS3cZw

For the first time...

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugE8EdXvM1

He was about to tell someone the truth.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcln5mxQ1Pa
