Chapter 18 - Why are You Mad? (1/2)

The next morning at Gray mansion.

Davi woke up, puzzled. She realized that it was already the next morning and as she remembered what happened to their first date, she bit her lip and her brain started to turn like a spinning wheel.

My god, what have I done?

She held her head and tugged at her own hair as if she was a business woman who just lost her company overnight. Her only thought was, 'My life is over'.

”Does your head hurt?”

Sei's voice was like a cold wind, abruptly enveloping Davi's consciousness. She was so frightened that she suddenly grabbed the blanket and covered herself.

”N-no-nope, I'm fine,” she replied with a hoarse voice.

Sei's eyes, behind his mask, narrowed upon seeing the girl's reaction. However, he moved towards her and he sat on the bed, facing her.

”You fainted yesterday. The doctor said you might be phasmophobic. Is it true?”

Davi was still tense but Sei's words somehow felt gentle, making her slowly put the blanket down, peeking at him like a cat. And after a short while, she nodded.

”Then why did you still enter the house?”

”B-because you like horrors?”

”Who said I like horrors?”

”Huh? But weren't you the one who chose…” Davi couldn't continue her statement. It was because she realized that it wasn't him who dragged her there, she was the one who dragged him. Wait, was it all just a misunderstanding?

Davi couldn't believe herself and she bit her lip again. At that same moment, just by looking at her, Sei could already tell that she must have misunderstood him.

”Sorry,” she said as she stared at him, fidgeting like a cute, shy, little kid.
