Chapter 204: I Always Will Choose Him
Almost in the early crack of dawn, both Kylian and Zenith decided to set their journey back to the Academy, since spending the night outside at the mountain shrine wasn’t in their plan.
Kylian expressed his humble gratitude towards both the monks before leaving, especially the elder monk who had shown him a way by finding a Blue Puya flower and offering it to the Moon Goddesses to cast away the unfortunate luck hovering over their future.
But it seemed Zenith was still sulking at them for committing that lantern ritual before, which had created the argument on their first date day. However, after Kylian’s persuasion, he half-heartedly expressed his gratitude before they left the shrine.
It was a tedious journey back to the campus, but all the way Zenith guided him this time, making sure Kylian would feel safe and assured with him by holding hands tight together.
While it was still early morning, after covering a long trekking journey both of them reached the campus, but sneakily entered through the secret gate which only a few students in the Academy used for sneaking outside, especially the Alpha boys from the bully gang.
That secret entrance path was very narrow for sturdy-built boys like them, but hugging him tight, Zenith protected Kylian as much as he could from getting any scrapes against the rugged passage. And as usual, his overprotectiveness never failed to bewitch Kylian who quietly followed his lead.
After they had reached the yard, Zenith cautiously glanced ahead of them to make sure none of the boys had watched them arrive, otherwise, he was worried that it might make Kylian a bit fretful.
But before they were about to head towards the building of Kylian’s room, he heard footsteps marching at them from behind, with someone coughing aloud to clear their throat as well as serving it as an indication for them to turn around.
"So...you’re back now?"
