Chapter 877: It's hard to tell what's going to happen these days.

Meanwhile, in the men's restroom...

Not everyone was happy about the change of attire to a school uniform, but the majority liked it. One of those in the majority was... Atlas. Wearing some of the Penny accessories that Slater had brought with him was Atlas's way of teasing Penny, knowing it would horrify her. However, he didn't plan to wear them throughout the event. He didn't even plan to attend.

Therefore, having a change of clothes-even though they were school uniforms- wasn't all that bad.

When Atlas stepped out of the cubicle where he had changed, another person from the next cubicle also stepped out. They looked at each other briefly before Atlas studied Jonathan for a moment and then wordlessly moved to the sink.

Jonathan kept his eyes on Atlas for a moment before approaching the sink and placing his clothes on the wide surface to fold them. As Jonathan folded his clothes, Atlas, who was washing his hands, couldn't help but glance at how the man was folding them.

"You do a lot of housework?" Atlas asked quietly, earning a look from Jonathan. "It's just how you fold your clothes."

Jonathan didn't answer immediately, watching Atlas peel his gaze off him. "Growing up, yes."

"That's strange."

"Strange?" Jonathan slowly raised a brow, wondering what Atlas meant by that. "What does that mean?"

"The obvious."

"..." Jonathan let out a shallow laugh, facing Atlas, feeling a little... threatened. He wasn't sure if that was the right term, but it was unpleasant to hear something vague from someone like Atlas.

Did Penny tell her brother about going back in time? Was Atlas aware of the past? A flood of questions swirled in Jonathan's mind as he stared at Atlas's side profile. When Atlas noticed Jonathan's stare, he raised his brows and asked, "What?" "Nothing," Jonathan replied with a short smile. "I was just wondering what you meant by 'the obvious,' because the obvious didn't feel obvious at all."
