Winced by the loud call, Kylian turned his neck behind and saw it was Stephan. Grabbing onto his arm tight while huffing a bit too hard, it seemed as if Stephan had run across here while following after Kylian.
Watching him panting heavily from exhaustion, Kylian grew concerned for him as he urged back, "Stephan? Did you come here running all the way from your building? You look breathless, are you okay?"
"Yes…I…had to run after you here…b-because you were also running too darn fast. I called you several times from b-behind…and…I couldn't match with your pace…" Slowly catching his breath, Stephan mumbled, wiping the sweat crowded on his forehead with his other arm.
Compared to his physique and stamina, Kylian knew Stephan was weaker than him. And especially after he was beaten up by Zenith and his bully gang, Kylian felt worried as if he was falling sick again, "Are you struggling very much to breathe? Should I take you to the nurse's office again?"
