After the small episode in the dining hall, the rest of the day gradually returned to its usual rhythm.
Everyone went about their respective schedules as though the awkward breakfast had never happened.
The boys either trained or immersed themselves in the sparring duels they always did while the girls also busied themselves with their own affairs before occasionally gathering together to discuss the progress of Rook's special quest.
Time quietly slipped away.
Before anyone realized it, evening had already arrived.
As always, the rich aroma of food soon drifted throughout the villa as Shin prepared dinner for everyone.
The lively atmosphere during the meal was no different from any other day.
Everyone chatted casually about their daily activities, occasionally teasing one another before bursting into laughter. Even the embarrassing incident from that morning slowly faded into the background.
