After the hospital incident, Scarlet finally obtained Ares' contact number.
At first, she stared at it for nearly ten minutes before gathering the courage to send a simple message.
Thank you again for taking care of me at the hospital. Thank you for the flowers. They still looked fresh.
Then, she sent the photo of yellow roses in a beautiful glass vase.
To her surprise, he replied.
From that day onward, Scarlet began messaging him regularly. Sometimes she asked if he had eaten. Sometimes she sent him random videos of herself and her friends doing ridiculous dances in the dormitory. Other times, she would purposely embarrass herself just to make him laugh.
Most of the time, Ares' replies were short.
Take care.
Don't skip meals.
That was stupid.
But occasionally, there would be something more.
A rare laughing emoji.
A dry sarcastic comment.
