Damien stood with his hand hovering in front of the door, frozen.
He'd nearly forgotten about it after being swept up in Hassan's memories. By the time he left the underground cavern, the Human Domain group had already left and his memory had no chance to be refreshed.
'…why now?' Damien moaned inwardly in dread.
He wished he had time to prepare, but there was absolutely no chance of that happening now.
Because just as he'd felt her, Ruyue had felt him.
The door swung open on its own, revealing his awkward figure to those within the room.
Three pairs of eyes met with one.
And Damien felt his heart beating out of his chest.
Wasn't it funny?
He worried so deeply about his indifference affecting his personal life. He was afraid of this moment of reunion because he didn't know what he would feel when he saw them.
But now, standing before them, he couldn't even open his mouth.
