Lee Sayoung kept the phone pressed to his ear, staring intently at Uijae. Then, as if making a point, he hung up and slightly lifted his head. The moment Uijae heard the beep, he jumped up in alarm and stumbled back. The railing hit his waist.

*Should I just jump?* He glanced down. From this height, the fall wouldn’t be too bad. But almost instantly, Sayoung responded.

"Where are you looking? Eyes on me."

"......"

"Look at me."

Smart guy. Uijae clung to the railing. If push came to shove, he might actually jump. Sayoung’s lips curled into a smile, though his eyes remained void of amusement.

"Oh... Are you really going to jump?"

"......"

"Should I jump with you then? This time, instead of running down the stairs, how about we race down the main road side by side? That’d make an even better story, don’t you think?"

*Who do you think made me do this in the first place? You don’t even know how I feel.* Uijae felt a surge of anger and was about to retort with something reckless, like *Fine, let’s die together then,* when a voice cut in from behind Sayoung.

"Guild Leader, do you even know what it means to act pitiful? You’re supposed to be acting pitiful, not picking a fight."

Peeking out from behind Sayoung’s black coat was the red hair of Kang Jisoo, whom Uijae had briefly seen in the lobby earlier. Standing nearby, scratching his head with an annoyed expression, was Baewonwoo, who Uijae also noticed now.

Sayoung shrugged.

"Oh... I’ve never really had to act pitiful before. Guess I don’t know how. My bad?"@@novelbin@@

Instead of replying, Uijae turned his head slightly away from Sayoung, enough so that only the black coat remained in his field of vision. He could hear Sayoung’s faint chuckle. What Uijae saw next was Minggijeok, who was crawling toward the door on all fours.
