The Woman From Hell

There was a slight smile on Marius' lips. "I went home to take care of some things. I didn't have the chance to tell you that."

It turned out he went home.

I did not even ask about him. Friends should not go no-contact like that, right? He had even helped me back then.

For a moment, I felt a little ungrateful.

"Well... I've been busy with Green Oranges these days. That's why I didn't reach out to you, I..." I wanted to explain myself to him, but I stumbled.

Marius smiled. "You still get nervous around me, huh? It's okay, I understand."

His smile eased the once-stiff atmosphere, and it was like we had returned to the past.

My heart gradually relaxed, and I looked at Marius. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight in just a few months. His cheeks used to be a bit plump and youthful, but looking at him now, they had tapered down and his chin was pointed. Feeling faintly worried, I asked, "Did something happen at home?"

I regretted the moment I asked. How could I actually ask him just like that? It was like sprinkling salt on someone's chest.
