Hanuel crouched down right in front of me, then casually turned around and… patted his back.
"Hop on."
Huh?
My brain lagged.
Everyone around us blinked, equally confused.
"I said hop on!" he repeated, dead serious.
Internally, I flatlined.
Somewhere in the distance, I'm sure someone fainted.
A crow flew past like a confused hummingbird.
An earthquake shook the earth…
oh wait, that was just my heartbeat.
False alarm.
"COME ON!!" Hanuel urged, as if I was being slow on purpose.
Meanwhile, Yuna?
Oh, she gave me two enthusiastic thumbs up like she was a proud talent agent who just booked her rookie actress a lead role in a Netflix romcom.
Yuna, not the time.
I blinked once.
Twice.
My knees were bleeding, but not as much as my pride.
'Yes Mira, let's go to the nurse's room because your knees hurt' I told myself.
Not because he is offering you a piggyback ride.
