After that Yohan didn’t leave imdiately, he stayed for another long, awkward hour before finally leaving. He didn’t want to leave her alone, but he just couldn’t bear the unending tension.
Cassie remained at the opposite side of the room until he left. She probably just didn’t know what to say, because it was the sa with Yohan.
What could he possibly say after trying to have sex with her only to be stopped like that. He felt tempted to even reveal the truth that they weren’t really blood related but he just held back.
’That would only complicate things more’ he sighed as he walked away from the building.
Especially since Vivian wasn’t there to confirm his words.
By now night had already co, but he didn’t feel like going back ho imdiately. He was afraid he would run into another interference like, Anthony or soone else, so he decided to go for a long walk. The events of the day hadn’t left his mind, and he needed to clear his head.
By now he had already accepted the fact that he was a killer, but was he ready to face whatever consequences that awaited him? He had no idea.
’its not like I have a choice’
The police, the Baker or whoever it might be, soone would definitely co for him. No man takes a life and walks off scoot free. He told himself that if the police did co to arrest him, he wouldn’t fight back, but even that thought left him conflicted.
’Why do I have to go to prison for defending myself?’
It was all so stressful.
Then there was the Baker, a figure he had almost zero information about. Soone that was possibly even worse than Hatoru, with the power to back him up. How could he possibly even start to fight him.
"Another enemy" he said out loud, as he thought about it.
It didn’t seem like he would go after Cassie, if not he probably would have acted imdiately. Yohan could already tell that whoever this person was, they wasted no ti in taking action.
But it was still too early to make conclusions, he could only hope that Freddie at least didn’t ntion her.
During his walk he had subconsciously walked into the college compound. It was quiet and peaceful at night, and the gates were always open to the students.
He had only gone on for a few minutes before he ran into Izumi. She was sitting on a bench by the roadside.
At first he was surprised to see her alone by herself. The buildings on this side were locked earlier so students weren’t normally supposed to be around here this late
"You ca, I was starting to think you forgot," she stood up and moved closer to him.
The mont she said those words was when it hit him, he had t her yesterday at this sa spot, walking with Jenna, and she whispered to him that they should et back here.
’How could I have forgotten?’ he panicked inwardly, but on his face there was a nervous smile.
"O-Of course not, how could I forget?" he tried to casually play it off, "Sorry if I kept you waiting for long,"
"It’s fine," she said, "I’m the one who asked to et you out here, and I’m happy you were able to co," She said with a friendly smile, sothing Yohan wasn’t expecting to see.
Even the way she spoke to him was nicer, way nicer than yesterday when Jenna was present. Then it occurred to him that maybe that was what Jenna ca over earlier to talk about.
He sighed, his mood dipping even lower. She probably had questions that needed answering.
"Your na is Yohan right?" Izumi asked nicely,
"Y-Yeah, I guess it’s nice to officially et you," he said lightly.
"S-Sa for , it’s nice eting you" her face turned red rembering the first ti they t back at that party, but she tried not to think about it.
Yohan noticed her reaction, he could almost predict what was going on through her mind. That was probably why she called him out here, she wanted more.
’Honestly I’ll be very glad if that was the case’
His balls were still blue from Cassie’s disappointing last minute return of rationality, and there was no way he was saying no to a pretty girl like Izumi, even if it ant that Jenna might actually end up killing him.
"Actually... the reason I called you out this late is because I’ve been trying to reach Freddie."
"Freddie?" His brows drew together. "Why are you coming to for Freddie?"
"Because I can’t reach any of his other friends either. And you two seed close, so I thought you’d know."
"Since when were and Freddie close?" he asked, genuinely confused. "What gave you that idea?"
"I don’t know... you knew his mom, so I just assud..."
"Then why didn’t you go to his mum instead?" he cut in, irritation slipping through. "You dragged all the way out here for that?"
"S-She’s intimidating," she stamred. "I can’t just go up to her and ask for her son. What if she thinks I’m clingy... and ends up hating ?"
He opened his mouth, closed it, then looked away like he needed a mont.
"Do you know what would happen if your future mother-in-law hates you?"
"Mother-in-law?" He would have laughed, if he wasn’t already over-stimulated. "Do you actually think you’re going to get married to Freddie?"
"Maybe..." her voice raised defensively, "How is it any of your business?"
"Well, you ca to looking for him,"
"So what, do you know where he is or if he’s okay. I really just want to know if he’s safe," The look on her face was sad, like she really did miss Freddie.
Yohan wondered how she could even be in love with an asshole like that, but he probably never showed her his true nature, and Jenna did ntion that he was her first so it made sense that she was attached to him.
But the fact that she was asking all these questions when Jenna knew all the answers, ant that she didn’t want Izumi to find out.
He reasoned that Jenna probably wanted to use this opportunity to help her get over Freddie, and this gave him a new idea.
"Okay, I’ll help you but you also have to do sothing for ,"
