Rustle-

As he turned around at the sound of someone stepping on the leaves, he saw Rosica standing close by.

Rexid immediately threw the freshly lit cigarette from his mouth and stepped on it with his boots to put it out.

“What is it?”

Rexid immediately frowned, realizing how blunt he sounded when he spoke.

“I don’t mind you smoking.”

“No, it’s fine. Why did you come out? Even though it’s summer, we’re in the North, so it gets cold after the sun sets. Why did you come out with just one layer of clothing?”

“Mmm… I don’t think I apologized properly before. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make fun of you.”

“I know. I’m not here because I’m mad. Go back inside.”

Rosica kept hesitating even though he told her to go back inside.

“I told you, go back inside. How are you going to work if you catch a cold?”

He was bothered by how thin her dress was. Rexid took his jacket off and tossed it to Rosica.

She caught the jacket he tossed to her.
