The Love that Never Really Dies

Jake had started to panic by then.

Nevertheless, he got the room key from the hotel and opened the door.

When the door opened, however, he realized that Devin had not moved, as if he had been fused to the chair.

Jake, who had been watching over Devin yesterday, was even more worried. What on earth did he see in the surveillance footage? What would make a calm and collected man react in this manner?

He wondered whether he should tell Sebastian about this.

“Devin, you…” Jake said.

“What’s the time now?” He was rather surprised to hear the other man’s voice.

Devin had been sitting in the chair for more than ten hours. When he finally muttered huskily with bloodshot eyes, it seemed like he had retrieved his voice from the void.

Jake was stunned.

A few seconds later, he regained his senses and checked his watch. “It’s almost seven in the morning. There are a number of phone calls at Red Pavilion, saying that Sebastian’s looking for you. Do you want to head back, Devin?”

“Okay.” Devin nodded.

Then, Jake watched as he got up from the chair. He squeezed the tape in his hands. Without warning, he tossed it out of the window.
