Chapter 18: What keeps us together
In the morning, Rhys had woken up before Eun-woo, so he decided to take a quick shower before heading out to hunt for breakfast. However, halfway through the shower, Eun-woo appeared, intending to join him.
It wasn’t really a problem, considering they’d done it several times during their days in confinement. Still, Rhys couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. The discomfort grew so intense that he ended up leaving before he could finish.
Walking down the stairs, he ran into Jae and Caelan, who were chatting about something as trivial as the damn weather.
"Caelan!" Rhys exclaimed, grabbing a backpack as he headed for the front door. "We’re heading out to hunt."
"Now?" Caelan asked, surprised.
"Now!"
Caelan didn’t even say goodbye to Jae—he rushed out after Rhys.
Jae stared at the door, baffled by Rhys’s sudden mood.
A couple of minutes later, Eun-woo appeared at the top of the stairs. His hair was damp, and a few drops of water trickled down his neck.
"Hello," Eun-woo greeted upon noticing Jae’s presence.
Jae responded with a slight nod.
