Chapter 29
“Be more careful next time.”
“Ah... yeah.”
Koi nodded, though he still looked longingly at the bread now sitting in the trash.
What a waste. If I had just cut off the moldy part, I could’ve eaten it.
Regret lingered for a moment, but it was too late. His thoughts quickly shifted elsewhere.
“Aren’t you hungry? You must be starving.”
He was right. Ashley was so hungry it felt like his stomach was caving in, but there was something he needed to do first.
“More importantly, what are you doing here? ...At this hour.”
He needed to just buy his ticket and leave, but his mouth spoke something else instead.
Koi, completely unaware of Ashley’s inner turmoil, answered without hesitation.
“It’s the start of the semester, so I’ve been really busy. I still need extra activity and volunteer hours, so...”
His voice trailed off, as if embarrassed.
