Bab 271: Chapter 264. Safe Space

To that day, Zein still didn't like parties. 

Crowds and noises were just something he avoided, typically. Harder to protect himself. But...did he need to protect himself in this place? He would be in the guild compound, surrounded by people who defended him when his reputation was getting dragged to the ground. He would be among...well, friends.

And Bassena would be there.

So, to Han Shin's glee, Zein walked to the party. Before, in the summer, he remembered being rather cautious because he was new and the environment was still unfamiliar. Now, as he walked to the venue, he just felt like walking to his hometown; somewhere so familiar that even if he ended up blind drunk, he was sure he would be able to find a way out. 

And unlike the last time, Bassena could just shadow him every time because everyone in the guild knew they were in an official relationship anyway.
