Haruto widened his eyes, his focus locking onto the system map where Mari's chibi icon blinks steadily.
She was inside the spa—just like them!
'Damn, how many hours did I spend with Asuka for Mari to already wake up?!' he thought, his heartbeat quickening.
Scrambling to his feet, he scanned the room until his eyes landed on his yukata, crumpled in a heap on the floor.
He crouched quickly, snatching up his phone and fumbling to check the time.
16:00. Two hours had passed and the notifications from his phone made him facepalm.
'50 messages and 20 missed calls, all from Mari?! She would kill me if she found out I'm with Asuka!'
He swipes to open LANE and fires off a message to Enji.
His fingers flew over the screen, but his body stiffened as warm arms suddenly encircled his waist.
A faint breath brushed against his back, and he froze.
