"Hey, Max! Please wait..."
Arnold frowned, continued walking, and didn't look back despite the masculine voice calling him from behind. Fast footsteps approached him as this masculine masculine voice sounded, however, the fact that he was frowning indicated that he already knew who was trying to stop him.
It was Karl who was approaching him from behind on his way back from the gym at that late time.
Although Arnold didn't fasten his footsteps, that was an advantage for Karl to approach him quickly. And when he did, Arnold had no choice but to stop.
"What do you want from me, Karl?! What???" Arnold asked furiously glaring at his former roommate.
"Please, Max. Just hear me out," Karl seemed to be calm and sincere, but his appearance never made Arnold release the feeling of disgust.
