Even after I got inside, my heart was still racing.
Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket.
My first thought was that it was a call from Andrew, and I fumbled to pull it out, my hands shaking as I prepared to answer.
"Hey, sis, it's me."
Oh, it's Rick.
Hearing his voice made me relax completely, and I collapsed onto the sofa.
"What is it? Spit it out."
For once, Rick didn't argue with my impatient tone. Instead, he asked if I wanted to join him for an escape room game tomorrow.
"A bunch of my classmates are coming—three guys from the sports program, two from dance, and…"
"What time? Where? I'm in!"
The best way to get rid of my worries, of course, was to see some handsome guys.
The next day, I showed up at the meeting spot an hour early, eagerly waiting for Rick to bring along his good-looking friends.
However, instead of charming guys, I was met with someone else entirely.
I double-checked five times. The person standing in front of me was, indeed, Andrew. Without his glasses today, he was almost unrecognizable. His coat highlighted his impressive physique, and his hairstyle was more casual compared to the formal look he had at school.
