119 Its Time to go (2/2)

A cold breeze blew by, causing me to shiver slightly from the surprising low temperature of the night. I should've been expecting this since the season should be transitioning into winter time. However, neither Mura or I were prepared for this so it was quite cold to just stand out here.

I looked over at Mura once again and saw that she was shivering slightly. She had her hands around her and pulled her coat tighter around her. However, it would appear that there wasn't much of an effect. Seeing her like this was quite awkward for me since I'm not sure what I could do for her. I could always give her my coat, but then I'll be cold. I guess that is a way to go about it, so that's what I did.

”Here,” I said, putting my coat over her shoulder like a cloak.

It was difficult to not chatter in this cold, but I somehow managed. However, the hard part was the next few minutes of waiting and trying to not shiver whenever the wind blew by. To conceal my reaction, I intentionally looked away from Mura, turning to face the road as well so that I could look to see if our taxi had arrived or not.

Suddenly, I felt a surprising warmth from my right side. I looked to my right and saw that Mura had hugged onto my right arm, allowing her warmth to communicate to me. Her face was pretty red, which I guess was from this sudden intimacy.

”This way you won't be cold,” she whispered.

It was surprising to see her in such a timid state. It reminded me of Muria, but I guess this must be because she's her older sister and the two were pretty similar in appearance.

My body immediately became rigid as I tried my best not to move. However, another reason was because my body automatically tensed up in response to her touch out of nervousness.

It wasn't too long before the taxi finally arrived and the two of us boarded the vehicle. Then began the drive back to the hotel. However, this drive wasn't a peaceful one since for some reason, Mura continued to hug onto my arm and leaned against me for the entire duration of the drive without saying a world.

After about fifteen minutes, we arrived back at the hotel. We waited near the entrance since there were plenty of traffic entering and exiting the hotel, making it difficult for us to try and sneak in without any of the students recognizing Mura. We needed a plan.

”Put on my coat,” I said to her, ”and wear the hood. That way, we can try and hide your face from the others.”

She nodded in agreement as she wore my coat directly over her outfit. Then, she pulled the hood up. I took a few steps away from her, observing her to see if she could be easily recognized. I think if she were to keep her head down, no one should know it's her.

”I think we're good,” I nodded to her. ”Just keep your head down when we go in.”

”Got it,” she nodded.

Then, we began with our plan. Because she had to keep her head down, Mura held onto my hand as we walked so that I can direct her to where we were going. I walked at a pretty brisk pace since I didn't want to draw any unnecessary attention from the other students, and lucky for me, I didn't. I think it's because of how often it was for guys to try and sneak prostitutes into their rooms that I was mistaken to be one of those people. Whatever. As long as it works, I'm not the one to complain.

The two of us quickly hopped onto an elevator and closed the door so that no one else could enter. Then, Mura entered the floor that her room was located on, which was also the thirteenth floor. Upon seeing this, I prayed in my mind that we don't bump into Luna because it would be hard to explain if that were to happen. However, it looks like my luck did not run out just yet today since we made it to her room without bumping into anyone that we knew.

Mura unlocked the door to her room and the two of us entered. I walked in first since if anyone were to see me in the hallway, it would spell trouble for the two of us. Therefore, my plan was to enter and leave when no one's around in the hallway.

I let out a sigh of relief as we finally entered her room and the door closed behind us, signifying to me that we were safe. ”That was tiring,” I said, feeling my rapidly beating heart slowly relax. ”I'll leave when the hallway is are clear.”

I looked over at Mura who was still standing by the door. Then, I had a bad feeling when I saw her put the door chain head into the slot on the door behind her.
