�alone?�

�huh.�Maybe I�ll hurt Maya even more.�

Kayden looked up at the signboard, took a deep breath, and nodded.

�okay.�

As I went down the stairs one step at a time, the sound of the drums got louder and my heart beat faster.

As soon as I turned around the basement entrance, I could smell acrid cigarettes, and everything was dark except for the stage.

Maya was humming along to the blues playing.

Although Maya dancing under cheap lighting was still beautiful.

�Why why?��Her outfit made her feel so cold even in the hot air from the heat of the men.

Cayden inspected the guests.

Men who talk obscenities with dead eyes and commit perverted things.

�Maya.�

The song didn�t stop.

There was no emotion to be found on Maya�s face as she stared into the sky above the table.

� stop??????

Cayden, who had clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth, eventually couldn�t stand it and began to lash out.

�I mean stop!��The musicians stopped playing, and Maya�s eyes were filled with emotion.

�Who is it?�Are you drunk?��It was dark, so I couldn�t see her face.�In the meantime, the drunken people around them rose up.

�What are you?�Now I�m in the middle of the day, but I�m going to have colic���

Cayden, who pushed the drunkard�s chest with his hand, walked quickly to the stage.

�uh���

Maya�s eyes widened.

�Kayden?�

She hurriedly put on the coat she had thrown on the floor and asked, avoiding her gaze.

�Yes, I know how you feel����?�

�Maya.�

So many words passed through Caden�s mind that he wanted to tell her.

�What should I say?�

His sincerity toward her would eventually come back as a tragedy before the fate of the Red Cross.
