Why Won't You Let Me Slack!?

Chapter 21

As the battle soon began to dwindle down with Hyunsung and Heewon taking care of the last of the ground rats, the three teens laughed as they made their way to Cale after having compared their kill counts.

"Hey dongsaeng, how many monsters did you get?"

"...."

"Dongsaeng?"

"...."

"..Cale?" Worried, Barrow stepped forward to give the younger redhead a gentle shake.

"Ah." Finally regaining his senses, Cale turned to look at the three teens surrounding him, each having a look filled with concern as they watched him.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, everything is fine." He said, looking them in the eyes to ensure them that everything was truly fine.

Even though they saw his usual calm and stoic look, they noticed the way his eyes seemed to slightly tremble.

'There's definitely something wrong.' They collectively thought.

'But knowing him, he won't immediately tell us what it is...' No matter how much they didn't like it, they knew it wasn't a good idea to force him into talking. Not only were there too many eyes on them right now, past experience has taught them that pressuring him would only make things worse and that they needed to slowly draw him out of his shell if they wanted any chance of getting him to open up.

Keeping that in mind, the four soon turned to look at the notifications blocking their views.

Ignoring the rest of the system notifications, the four regroup with the others to determine their next course of actions.

"Let's gather up the ground rats. We need to prepare today's food."

"Ummm... by the way, how will we cook it? We can't eat it like this."
