Cain had no idea that Soren and I had started talking in private.
For about half a year, I stayed by Soren's side through our chats. I taught him how to play games and comforted him whenever his emotions became unsettled.
After he slowly grew used to my comfort, I began to pull away.
I went from occasionally making excuses to turning him down more and more often.
I would apologize and tell him that it wasn't a good time to call because Cain was with me.
At first, Soren would wait a while before sending me a message to ask if Cain had left.
If I didn't reply, he would slowly grow anxious.
Eventually, he even started questioning me through messages.
Soren: What are you two doing?
Soren: Why hasn't he left when it's already this late?
Soren: The dorm should be locked by now, right?
