Hayden rubbed his ears, his face blazing red, which made Zenos' lips curl slightly.
The flustered Hayden hurriedly pushed Zenos away, and with his shaky legs, he began to limp outside, his face brighter than ever.
Zenos chuckled and went after his cute boyfriend. He held out his hand, and Hayden slipped his hand into Zenos' hand, and they both held each other.
As if he had just recalled something, Hayden touched his bare face and came to a stop.
He stared at Zenos, who had just entered the elevator and was waiting for Hayden to do the same.
Due to Zenos' teasing, Hayden had momentarily forgotten about the mask, but now feeling the absence of the mask on his face made Hayden hesitate about his decision. Hayden bit his lower lips and took a step back.
Zenos wasn't disappointed by Hayden's actions. Instead, he smiled at Hayden as if he knew what the boy was thinking. “You can do it. Remember, I promised to protect you.” He coaxed patiently.
