[Bonus chapter]It's the weekend, isn't it?

Maxen arched a brow as his phone kept vibrating in the back pocket of his pants. Even without seeing who it was, he knew it was Cosette. He ignored it as he closed the convenience store he was working at. It was rather early for him, but it was the orders from his boss, which he found a little strange.

Once the padlock was secure, he reached for his phone and gazed at the broken screen. A subtle smile appeared on his face, only to shake his head upon realization.

"Have some shame, will you?" he ruffled his head, pacing back and forth in front of the shop in irritation. "Why would you smile like that?"

Deep down, he still believed Cosette was just kind and was concerned about him as a friend. He shouldn't like her... at least, not in a different way.
