Kapitel 39: Joint Combat Exams 6

Birds chirped as the morning sun began to rise, casting a warm glow into the room.

"Good morning" Adrian greeted Elena softly, his warm breath brushing against her cheek. 

"Good mor—"

Elena, still half-asleep, mumbled a reply, her words trailing off as she opened her eyes and found herself staring into Adrian's face just a few inches away from her. Her body was nestled in his tight embrace.

Elena immediately sat up, surprise lingering on her face. 

"I-Ian?" she exclaimed; confusion etched across her face. 

"Why are you here?"

Adrian couldn't help but chuckle at her bewildered expression. 

"What do you mean, why? This is my room, you know."

Elena's eyes darted around the room, her initial shock deepening as she realized that she was indeed in Adrian's room. 

"Why am I here?" she wondered aloud, her voice laced with uncertainty.

Adrian smiled, finding the situation rather amusing.
