"I know that is outrageous. However, I couldn't hold back my emotions at that time. Fey... teasing Alen," Ren whispered until it was almost inaudible to Kim and Nil's ears.
Kim paused before responding to Ren's words. "A moment. Let me be clear before continuing your story. So you did have an obvious reason for slapping him. Does Alen know it?"
Ren shook his head with a gloomy face. "Alen doesn't want to listen to me. He kicked me out when I entered the infirmary in the library. He also ignored me when I said goodbye. Yesterday afternoon, I went home alone."
Kim put his arm around Ren and stroked Ren's hair to calm him down. She could understand that her best friend was not well. Ren's body temperature was slightly warm with droopy eyes like lack of sleep and crying too much.
"Ren, I can't justify your act of slapping Fey in front of so many people. But, I understand the reasons you just explained," said Kim.
