章節 262: Chapter 20: Drunken grumblings

A few days passed, and Shawn settled into the apartment, though his mind never truly found peace. The first day, he woke up early and cooked breakfast, only to find out that Athan was already gone even before he woke up.

He ate alone and spent the day at Franz's café while waiting for Knoa's end of school, then, went back to Athan's unit after Knox arrived home. He tried to wait for him at night, but even then, he was already asleep when Athan returned.

The second day, he tried to wake up as early as he did, but Athan was gone already, again. Then, the same thing happened. Somehow, it felt like he was being avoided. Each evening, he was greeted by the same frigid silence, as if they weren't living together.

"After telling me it's nothing?! Argh! What the hell is wrong with him?! I'm not used to this cold treatment!" Shawn stomped his way to the bed after coming back home on the third day.
