The door clicked open with a soft, guilty sound.
Kai, who had been standing motionless at the base of the stair, watched as Jinx slipped inside. Jinx gently pushed the door shut, then exhaled sharply.
'Ahh, at least no one saw me,' she thought, then smiled. She stood there for a moment, breathing, her back against the door.
Kai's brows lifted when he saw her usual straight white hair messy, the strands sticking to her damp forehead and neck.
'Did she run through the rain?' Kai thought. His eyes widened, focusing on her makeup, which had turned into dark smudges around her eyes, the lipstick gone except for a faint, blurry stain.
Not only that, he marveled at the sleek black dress, which had wrinkled, twisted slightly around her body, giving her the look of someone who had been thoroughly wrecked.
A silent chuckle escaped from Kai.
Jinx froze when she saw him standing there. 'Oh, shit!' she screamed in her head, a sheepish grin spreading across her face.
