━───After that incident, Chiye became cautious about her words. She didn't bother Sucheon with words, but she did place her handkerchief in front of him with three milk candies on top before focusing on the sea.
Seeing such actions, Sucheon huffed in amusement at the childishness. As Chiye gazed at the sea and away from him, he wiped his eyes hands quickly and took the handkerchief and candies, placing it inside his pocket before he followed the direction Chiye's head is facing.
The sea looks beautiful at this time of the day. The waves seemingly shining because of the sunlight and the blue sky filled with white clouds painted a very serene and calming sight. It made Sucheon sigh audibly and oddly enough, he doesn't feel any embarrassment after showing such display of weakness. It's probably because Chiye didn't react in a way that would make him feel weak, her actions bringing Sucheon a kind of warmth that he couldn't bear to hate or dislike.
“By the way...” Sucheon broke the silence.
Chiye paused and turned back to Sucheon. She saw the young man staring at her. “Hm? What is it?”
‘Should he ask?’ Sucheon asked himself, feeling hesitant. He does know why he wanted to ask, but seeing Chiye's attention now focused on him, he sighed and decided to get it over with and satisfy his curiosity.
“Whose coat are you wearing?”
Chiye, “....?”
Looking down at Kartein's coat that's wrapped around her, Chiye contemplated before answering fondly, “My teacher let me borrow it to keep me warm. When I left your dorm, the wind outside was quite chilly. I thought it was the summer season but it seems like even summer mornings and nights feel cold.”
Sucheon raised an eyebrow. Master? Who? Although he's curious, he doesn't really want to ask. After all, he doesn't want to view Chiye as someone who only became strong because of her Master. He thinks Chiye isn't that kind of person. So, he decided to focus on the later half of her words.
