14. THE COMMON GROUND

"What the hell are you doing?!"

My gaze fell to my hand in his tight grip, before wandering towards the other guy whom he had just now addressed so cordially.

"Watch that mouth of yours Muiz—or I won't mind breaking it the second time—!" He seethed with so much loathe that I was compelled to drop all thoughts of pulling my hand away. The Muiz guy's expression faltered a bit, but before he could say something in return, someone had interrupted the climax scene.

"Muiz?" A girl who seemed to be of the same age as me, but extremely meek and docile, called out while coming to stand by the Muiz guy.

'Is this the girl, whom they are fighting over? She does suit the naive female lead character.'

"Hana—" Muiz dude exclaimed softly, turning to face her. I sneaked a glance at Monkey to find him shooting death glares at the girl.
