Jean went back to pack her stuff at dawn when most people were asleep including Arthur.

Arthur had no idea she would avoid him like that as he expected her to return in the morning. He always woke up at around seven, and the first thing when he woke up right after his eyes opened was to call Jean for breakfast.

He called but found that her phone was turned off. Arthur suddenly sat bolt upright in bed with bad feelings. He didn't want to believe that Jean would leave early in the morning just to avoid him, but that seemed to be the fact.

Arthur kept calling her while putting clothes on and went out to knock on the next room's door, but there was no answer either way.

Holding back the sadness and despair, he called to check with reception at the hotel and was told that Jean checked out earlier.

Arthur sank into the sofa in his room with mixed feelings.

"You...really don't give me a chance? Not even the slightest one."

When they were having sex yesterday, he murmured in her ear over and over, "I love you, Jean."

She responded well then so that Arthur thought she believed him, but it turned out that she didn't.

Arthur was the golden boy growing up but was truly pathetic when it came to Jean for the first time in his life. Her leaving without saying goodbye that time crushed him, and the avoiding made it even worse.
