10. May I

After the lift stops

He looked around and pressed the lift's buttons to check if it's working.

He took out his phone and started checking for any signals around to see if he can call for any help but there was none

He sighed and sat down in one of the corner of the lift. Suru kept standing.

Outside the lift people were grouping around the lift as the technician was fixing it.

Inside the lift it was getting hot and suffocating. The man fanned the paper in his hand to get some air but it was not enough

He kept moving restless while suru stood at the same place quietly without moving any muscle

He then removed his shirt showing his carved body. He now fanned his shirt to get more air in an effort to cool himself.

He looked at the bear mascot besides him and knocked it's head lightly and gestures him to take out the mask.

He asked the mascot person to take out the mask as it was way too hot there and he may suffocate inside without even knowing who was inside the costume

but suru denied the offer by moving her head sideways

After some time the heat was getting unbearable for him so finally with no choice he opened his pants button and started removing it too.

Just as he opened his pant's button and was about to remove the pants Suru quickly removed her mask and shouted

'Stop taking off your clothes, Please!'

'Oh shit!!' he shouted

The man saw her face and was dumbfound he looked away quickly in embarrassment.

Suru also looked away from him

'Sorry...sorry...sorry, sorry' he apologized profusely

'I am very sorry' he looked at her back as she was looking opposite to him

He packed his pants again 'very sorry' and pick up his shirt from the ground

Suru also started breathing heavily as she was suffocated inside the mask for a long time

He wore his shirt again and looked at her apologetically

'I thought the bear was a guy'

He looked away, closed his eyes and clenched his teeth feeling the regret

Suru was feeling too hot inside her costume she grabbed all her hairs in an effort to make a bun but was unable to do so. Her hairs were even messier than ever.

He looked at her condition and felt pity for her

'Why don't you take off that Eskimo suit?' he suggested

'Or else you will melt in this heat'

She looked at him and accepted the suggestion. she dropped the bear mask and move her face opposite to him as she tries to open the zip of the suit which was behind her back.

She tried to open the zip but with her hands inside the costume she was unable to do that

She tried unzipping it again and again but keep failing

After some time she dropped the idea and was frustrated. With disappointment she banged her hands on the lift's wall

He looked at her back which was facing him and saw her trying so hard.

He reached her and grabbed her shoulder. Suru turn defensively looking at him.

He then removed his hands and pointed towards the zip with his index finger

'May I?' he asked
