Ai stood beside a pillar at the back, not sure of what she should do. Nana had urged her to stay in the party but looking at the time, she knew she had to get back home or Jun would get worried.
She thought for a moment and decided it was best to leave. She turned when she suddenly froze.
It wasn't clear but from the corner of her right eye, she felt as if she saw Yating passing by. Instinctively, she took a step back into the darkness not wishing to meet him.
Then her brows crinkled.
Why would Yating be here? He cannot be.
Yating on his side, also felt Ai's presence for just a second. He stopped and craned his neck but didn't see her anywhere.
How would Ai be here? Must be my imagination.
He casually walked around the hall looking for Jun, but he didn't see him, neither heard any whispers about his presence.
"Yating."
He stiffened upon recognizing the voice.
