Chapter 279: Buying remembrance

By the time they reached the bottom of the trail, the sun was already lowering in the sky, casting warm orange hues over the landscape. It was around 4 PM, and the cool afternoon breeze was a welcome relief after the long hike.

Nathan stretched his arms the moment John put him down. "Finally!" he groaned. "I swear my legs don't even feel like they exist anymore."

Elshienne, still hanging onto Seojun's back, playfully ruffled Nathan's hair. "You're just weak, brother."

Nathan narrowed his eyes at her. "Says the one who got carried all the way down," he shot back.

Elshienne grinned. "Yeah yeah whatever, I'm a girl you know."

Seojun sighed and gently let Elshienne down. "Alright, we're done with the hike. You two can stop bickering now."

Seoyang chuckled as she watched them. "You two really have too much energy left for people who were dying halfway up."
