บท 426: WAS IT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS PAINFUL?

SNOW froze on the spot when he heard Ash's question. He wanted to quickly answer that that's not the case, that was far from it. But the moment he tried to speak, his throat closed up and he couldn't even mutter a single thing. His expression completely closed off as well. Even if he couldn't see himself right now, he knew that he must be frowning.

This wasn't what he wanted. But from the moment Ash suddenly appeared at the cafe earlier, he couldn't properly express his emotions. He wanted to smile at the other but it's like his face muscles cramped up every time he did. He couldn't even talk to Ash without sounding like an arrogant prick.

He was on the verge of seriously banging his head to whatever hard object near him just so he could get a grip. But, of course, he couldn't do that. Well, it's not like anyone could blame him in this situation. It's because Snow was so surprised by Ash's sudden appearance that he couldn't react properly.
