Chapter 94: Behave Respectfully
Winced by the loud call, Kylian turned his neck behind and saw it was Stephan. Grabbing onto his arm tight while huffing a bit too hard, it seemed as if Stephan had run across here while following after Kylian.
Watching him panting heavily from exhaustion, Kylian grew concerned for him as he urged back, "Stephan? Did you come here running all the way from your building? You look breathless, are you okay?"
"Yes...I...had to run after you here...b-because you were also running too darn fast. I called you several times from b-behind...and...I couldn’t match with your pace..." Slowly catching his breath, Stephan mumbled, wiping the sweat crowded on his forehead with his other arm.
Compared to his physique and stamina, Kylian knew Stephan was weaker than him. And especially after he was beaten up by Zenith and his bully gang, Kylian felt worried as if he was falling sick again, "Are you struggling very much to breathe? Should I take you to the nurse’s office again?"
"No...I am fine. I am just a bit...weak than others." By then Stephan regained his normal breathing when he lifted his gaze up to meet Kylian’s keen eyes. He looked a bit discontent with his expression while asking him, "Do you know how much I was worried after you disappeared out of the blue yesterday? And you weren’t even answering my calls or messages, could you at least tell me now what was the matter?"
"Umm, Stephan..." Sensing countless cold and curious pairs of eyes fixated on them from all around the class, Kylian tried to unleash his arm from his hold while his gaze unknowingly slid in Zenith’s direction.
And just as he had lowkey expected, Zenith’s serene expression had turned angsty, as crossing his arms over his broad chest, Zenith was glowering exactly at Stephan’s arm which was grabbing onto Kylian’s. Not only he, but three of his bully gang Alphas were also scowling at Stephan as if a herd of beasts were ogling at their prey.
"Stephan, I don’t think this is the right place to talk about it now. Let’s attend the class at first, then we can talk about it. Take your seat for now." Kylian instinctively unleashed his arm which was grabbed by Stephan while he tried to divert the matter for now.
But upon saying that to him, Kylian realized all the desks were already taken by the students in the class, and only one student was allotted per desk. That meant, there were no spare desks left for Stephan in the first place.
Immediately after his realization, he saw Stephan frowning with a distressed look in his dilated eyes when he fearfully glanced at Zenith’s direction.
Watching him glaring at them already, Stephan sounded a bit nervous when he uttered, "It’s okay, Kylian, I can wait outside until you finish the class. I am sorry I impulsively ran after you in here, I shouldn’t have done that."
