Aijohn became worried that Jia had still not come out. He saw Anna on a nearby bench, glancing up at him from time to time. Perhaps, she guessed that while he was there, Jia was still inside.
After hesitating for many times, he went forward to the door and knocked. There was no response and he became more worried. She turned on the knob and gently opened the door. When he peeped on the small opening of the door, she saw Jia, bending down to pick up her bag. He walked towards her when he heard the sounds of sobbing.
He put a hand inside his pocket as he stopped in front of her. Her eye bags were already puffing out and her nose was as red as a ripe tomato.
Feeling helpless to see her torn like that, he immediately pulled her forward to hug her. Jia instantly resumed to a loud crying as she felt the warmth of being sympathized and understood by someone who could love her freely as a friend.
Koko glanced at Anthon whose eyes were as red as hers.
