Silence.
Utter and awkward silence.
After telling me that I was late, we stood there for a few seconds in silence as I looked at him, at a loss for what to say.
The first thing that I did was turn to the wall nearest to me and find a switchboard there.
I turned off the eerie red light bulb and switched on normal ceiling lights. As the room brightened up, I nodded my head in satisfaction.
"Much better," I remarked before turning to face Kai. "Did you do all that before calling me over?"
Kai averted his gaze and let out a dry cough. "All what? I don't understand what you're talking about."
I pointed at the red bulb on top of us, the antique furniture, and his tailored suit.
"The lighting, the furniture, and even your attire! Did you set up all this to make an entrance?!" I questioned. "Just for the dramatics?!"
In response, Kai let out another dry cough before speaking up.
