LOVE & DEVOTION SERIES.
The latest explosion was unexpected—a risky move from Professor Larsen or Henry Tanner. One or both wanted a distraction, a showstopping moment for something specific. Nobody would blow up a building twice for nothing.
Fortunately, Jaemin's stress reduced after leaving the campus; however, mine didn't disperse as well as his. Regardless of being in his condo, I remain uncertain about Jaemin's safety. I was still worried sick for him and didn't want to leave him alone, knowing the current circumstances.
"Jeno, why do you look so earnest? Is there something you want to say?" Jaemin asked from the living area's couch. His words immediately captured my attention and made my trance fade.
"I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean to disturb you," I admitted while looking out the window, overviewing the streets and today's weather.
"You didn't. But come here; don't keep standing alone," Jaemin opened his arms while watching me with a warm smile. Inevitably, I beamed and followed his order.
"Yes, love," I answered and approached his side. Jaemin embraced me and cuddled against my shoulder—. "Is this better?"
Jaemin nodded—. "I needed it."
"Yeah, me too," I sighed before kissing Jaemin's head, looking at him, bewildered—. "Jaemin, let's go to my place."
"Why?" He looked at me, confused.
"It's not safe here," I said while caressing Jaemin's hair.
"It's not safe in your flat either. You heard Layne; Professor Larsen or Henry Tanner know we are behind the investigation," Jaemin stated.
"Yes, I remember what he said. But I would feel so much better if we were together," I admitted, causing Jaemin's eyes to widen at my words.
"You truthfully are worried, aren't you?" Jaemin questioned in disbelief.
"Worried is an understatement. I'm terrified," Unhesitant, I revealed my current state with Jaemin. And again. It took by surprise, but soon, a subtle smile formed on his lips.
"I have experience with dangerous situations, Jeno. Wasting your energy and thoughts on things that haven't occurred is nonsensical," Jaemin appeared to take my concerns lightly. It made me feel pissed, but I still tried to get my message through him.
"My concerns grew upon the explosion at the apartment, but now it happened again on college grounds. Can't you see, Jaemin? This situation is complex and—could be deadly."
