"Relatives?"
The guards nodded in response.
"I don't know he had other relatives," Jared said.
Just then, another car arrived, urging Jared to enter the complex. When the black SUV disappeared from Rayen's sight, he seemed to visibly relax.
"Isn't that your bandmate?" Adrian asked.
Rayen only nodded silently and bowed his head.
A few more moments, Rayen felt Adrian nudging him by his side. Frowning, he looked up to find Adrian staring ahead. Following his gaze, Rayen saw Jared jogging toward them.
Rayen stood frozen in his place once again.
"Um, hello?" Jared greeted as he stopped in front of them. "Are you really his relatives?"
'Of course, not. I'm the guy you're talking about...'
Rayen wanted to smile wryly but refrained himself, knowing it would seem strange in front of his old friend. Jared was quite cynical, and the slightest hint of suspicious behavior could set him off.
