In the end, I agreed to spend the night with him. Zero booked a room on the third floor of the building. I can’t help to feel an awkwardness between us.

“What’s with the silence?” Zero suddenly asked which makes me shake my head. “Do you want to take a dip in the sea?” he continued.

Seems like you have a busy schedule,” I asked, trying to catch some information.Zero didn’t speak and stared at me. I arched my brow.
