A booming voice abruptly ended the quiet exchange between Alex and Rhino. Rizky, cast a suspicious look at Alex.
"What'd you think you're doing with my friend, Mr. Ten?"
Alex and Rhino both turned to face Rizky..
Alex, unfazed by Rizky's accusatory tone, simply offered a relaxed smile. "Oh, nothing much, Rizky. Just getting to know your quiet comrade here." He nudged Rhino playfully, who offered a small, hesitant smile in return.
"Oh… Well, Rhino. I'll be waiting for you at the dorm. Don't be late!"
With that, Rizky swaggered away, leaving an awkward silence in his wake.
"Remember what I said, Rhino. Open your heart, even just a little. Let people in. You'll be surprised at the kind of support you can find."
