well, he got the answer he was waiting for. he slowly pulled away from the hug. ❝ not fair. you always support everyone but me. ❞

❝ . . . actually, i am the one who should apologize. you were right, i acted like a fool. ❞ he scratched the back of his neck, sighing. ❝ sorry, yona. i understand you were just worried about me. i did not mean to be so rude. ❞

he looked at said finger, feeling his own body tensing up once again. damn it. ❝ . . . alright, alright. no growling, no fighting. i will just go and apologize. ❞ he did not look too happy with that. however, it seemed that he would really do it.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ she didn’t like that growl either, because now she was pointing a finger up at him. “ don’t you growl at me. i’m helping you not make yourself looking like a bigger fool. don’t make me drag you there as well. “⠀
