Chapter 345 [Hot Springs] [3]
"Urgh! Are we really going to get naked?"
"Yes. It's to make sure that the water remains clean."
"But I'm not interested in looking at men's peanuts."
"We cover up with towels. What the hell are you even whining about?"
I sighed, letting the cold shower water wash over me.
Even with the sound of rushing water, I could still hear Amaury and Elijah bickering.
Ever since I ranked up, my senses had sharpened.
Unfortunately, that meant I couldn't just tune them out.
"Are you guys ready now?" Elijah asked.
I turned, glancing toward the open shower area.
It was designed so that we could see into the adjacent stalls, and Elijah was already stepping out, a towel wrapped around his waist.
I shut off my shower, preparing to step out when—
Are you enjoying the view? [<H-huh?!>]
Watching me bathe? [<I'm not looking!>], her flustered voice echoed in my mind.
I know she isn't.
But.
'Don't lie. Should I pose for you?'
It was nice teasing her from time to time.
[<I'm done talking to you. Bye!>]
And just like that, she vanished.
Stretching, I peeled off my remaining clothes, wrapping a towel around my waist before stepping out.
"All set."
The bathhouse was simple—wooden walls, steamy air, and a spacious hot spring just ahead.
I turned toward Elijah, who leaned against the wall.
"Nice abs." He whistled. "Makes me want to touch you."
I blinked. "What?"
"What?" He tilted his head, then immediately changed the subject. "Nice weather, huh?"
"..."
Should I cover my chest?
Suddenly, I didn't feel safe around him.
I leaned against the opposite wall, maintaining a safe distance.
Aimar, Carson, and Amaury were still showering, while the girls had their own separate section.
'Didn't Zenith say they'd bathe later?' I checked the time on my phone, pulling it from my storage bracelet.
9:45 PM.
'She called me at 10.' I sighed.
"What did you two talk about?"
Elijah's voice pulled me from my thoughts.
"You were with her, right?"
I nodded. "Yeah. She told me about her past."
