Chapter 60 Quite Place

"What did they say,?" Alice hurriedly spoke after seeing me leave the office. She had been waiting here from the beginning.

Her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at me, her anxiety clearly visible on her face. I could sense that she was eager to know the outcome of the meeting.

"Well, it was quite the discussion," I started, pausing for a moment to build the suspense. "But in the end, I managed to smooth things over."

"Don't we need to go to the police? !" she insisted.

"We can do that, but the hassle is not worth it. Do you really want to attend those hearings and all? The impact of blowing this up will affect everyone," I explained to her, weighing the pros and cons. Of course, the only reason I'm saying this is because I don't want the police to get involved.

The events that unfolded were completely unexpected. My original purpose for coming here was merely to complete a mission and perhaps alleviate my boredom with a little fun. However, things took an unforeseen turn, resulting in the chaotic situation I found myself in. It was far from what I had initially planned or anticipated. "You're right ....Thank you for helping me back then. My name is Alice, by the way." I looked down at her extended hand, noticing the slight tremble and the hesitance in her eyes. She was clearly trying to overcome some sort of barrier, but her sincerity was evident. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

"My name is, Zyn," I said gently, taking her hand in a brief, but firm handshake. "And you don't need to thank me. It was my job to protect you as a teacher"

She lowered her gaze momentarily, then looked up, her blue eyes searching mine. "Even so, I'm thankful. Not many would've intervened like you did."

"Well, it's just... seeing someone in distress, especially someone like you, it's hard to stand by and do nothing." I gave her a soft smile. "Someone like me?"she raised an eyebrow, curious.

I made a blunder!

"What are you doing here, Ayumi ?"

Her eyes seemed a little teary as she walked toward me. I couldn't help but wonder if her concern was genuine or part of an act. "I'm just checking if you're okay, Sun-seng-nim," she replied.

Her acting skills were impressive, and I couldn't help but chuckle. Then an idea came to mind. After all, taking an hour-long train ride just to release some pent-up stress seemed like quite a hassle. "Hey, Ayumi, do you know of a place on this campus where I can be alone? All that drama has me wanting to relax," I asked with a sly grin.

At first, she seemed taken aback by my question, but after a moment of contemplation, a blush colored her cheeks as if she were thinking about something a bit naughty. "There is a place I know," she started, fidgeting and acting all flustered.

"Then take me there," I said with a mischievous smile.

Ayumi blushed slightly after hearing my words. "Um, okay, Sun-seng-nim," she replied, her voice soft and slightly shy. It seemed like she was trying to hide her embarrassment, but her willingness to help was enough to tell that she doesn't dislike it.

We walked around the campus, her leading the way with occasional glances in my direction. I couldn't help but notice her cheeks turning a faint shade of pink every now and then. It was clear that she was feeling a bit flustered by presence .

As we reached an old building, she gestured toward the entrance with a bashful smile.

"H-here we are, Sun-seng-nim. The rooftop of this building is one of the quieter spots on campus." Her nervousness added an adorable charm to her demeanor.

"I'm going back to class now,"she muttered in a low voice.

Then she tried to turn away, as if having second thoughts about her plan. But there was no way I was going to let her off the hook after she'd made me excited . "Don't leave yet ," I reached out and gently grabbed her wrist, my voice taking on a more serious tone.
