The Author's POV

Hospital, 4th floor.

Emma's face was rather strange as she followed Kevin from behind. As they walked, she couldn't help but notice Kevin's shoulders occasionally tremble from time to time.

"Kevin, about Jin..."

Just when Emma was about to mention the matter regarding Jin's sudden change in attitude, she was suddenly disrupted by a small burst of laughter.

"Hahaha..."

Though Kevin tried his best, he finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

'Makeup remover serves as a great women repeller'

Thinking back at what had happened on the rooftop, Kevin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Though the joke wasn't even that funny, it's just the way he said it.

His face was so serious...

"ah...I can't, hahaha"

"Uh..."

Looking at Kevin who had just lost his composure, Emma didn't know what to say.

She couldn't quite grasp what was happening before her. In the past, Kevin had always been very calm and mature. It felt as if nothing could shake him. But what was going on with him today?

Had all the stress got to him?

Kevin, noticing Emma's face, forcefully held his laughter back and immediately waved his hands as a form of apology

"Keep going. I'm all good now"

"So I was talking about Jin..."

"pfttt.."

Just when Emma was about to continue speaking again, she was once again disrupted by a loud chuckle.

This time, she couldn't help but get annoyed. Glaring at Kevin her tone raised a few pitches

"Hmph, if you wanna laugh just laugh, but don't waste my time"

"Hahaha…...I'm really sorry but...hahah, hey Emma, what do you think of makeup remover?"

Holding onto his stomach, Kevin's face was completely red.

Speechless by Kevin's random question, Emma shook her head before responding

"I wouldn't know since I don't use makeup"

"..."

As soon as Kevin heard Emma's response his smile froze. After a short pause, Kevin returned to his usually calm expression.

"...ah, that pretty much ruined the joke"

"What joke?"

"Doesn't matter anymore, continue with what you were saying"

As if nothing had happened, Kevin nodded at Emma urging her to continue what she was saying

"Sigh, I give up...Anyhow I was just about to talk ab--"

Shaking her head and sighing at Kevin's sudden change in attitude, Emma tried to continue what she was trying to say but soon stopped halfway through her sentence. Shortly after, an exclamation escaped from her mouth.

"...ah!"

"Emma?"

Noticing something odd about Emma's behavior, Kevin glanced at her.

Staring in the distance, Emma's eyes sparkled. Her face soon dyed red in excitement.

"What's going on?"

Confused, following Emma's line of sight, Kevin's eyes soon paused on a trio walking in their direction.

Instantly, Kevin recognized one of the three people. Donna Longbern, his class tutor.

Walking with her head down, she looked worn out. Her hair was a mess and her expression was that of utter defeat. It looked as though she had just come back from a tough battle.
