The gratitude he didn't want to accept

"Young man, you shouldn't let your beautiful girlfriend walk all alone, even if it's still not night." The officer scolded the blonde while dragging the unconscious Leone and stuffing him inside the back seat of the police car. 

Ryett was beside Arianne when the officer lectured him. Because their ages were almost the same, and he was standing so closely to the lady, the officer assumed they were a couple.

Though stunned, confused, and delighted by the wonderful misunderstanding, Ryett still answered them honestly, "Officer, we're not together yet. But, we will be careful next time."

The officer raised his eyebrow, clearly not believing what he said. The look in the blonde man's eye was screaming with affirmation.
