Once he felt it was almost dry, he turned off the hair dryer, unplugged it, coiled up the power cord, and placed it aside.

As soon as he sat down on the sofa, he saw the glass of milk that Ai hadn't touched.

He looked at Ai and asked:

"Ai, would you like me to heat up your milk?"

After being reminded by Kōyū, Ai finally remembered the glass of milk.

She picked up the cup, took a small sip, and said:

"No."

"It's still hot."

“Okay.” Guangyou didn’t insist and nodded in agreement.

He clasped his hands together, rested his elbows on his knees, and bent over, quietly watching Ai sip her milk.

Seeing his expression, Ai handed him the cup, raised an eyebrow, and asked:

"Do you want a drink?"

She was obviously joking.

However, she also anticipated Kwang-yu's next reaction.

Under her gaze, Kwang-yu leaned closer, but made no further move.

Their eyes met above the cup.

In the past, she would have definitely given the whole glass of milk to Guangyou.

And now...

Seeing that Kousuke's gaze was calm, Ai also took one of Kousuke's hands with a normal expression.

Then, she asked Guangyou to hold the glass of milk.

Looking at the glass of milk, Kwang-woo sighed, feigning disappointment.

"I thought you would feed me."

Faced with such blunt words, Ai Haibara responded in a similarly blunt manner:

"You're not without hands."

"Alright."

It's as if they've already accepted this fact.

After sighing again, Guangyou finished the entire glass of milk in one gulp.

After placing the cup on the table, he resumed his previous posture:

Clasp your hands together tightly, place your elbows on your knees, and bend over.

However, compared to before, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed at this moment, as if he had something on his mind.

Seeing Guangyou's appearance, Ai didn't think too much about it and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Guangyou shook his head, saying it was nothing, but he sighed.

He didn't look like he was alright at all.

She wouldn't have asked before, but when she thought about how she had given all the milk to Guangyou earlier, she felt that it might be related to this.

Seeing that Kōyū seemed preoccupied, Ai leaned closer and asked:

"Could it be because of what happened earlier?"

Without hiding anything, Guangyou nodded and confessed:

"I feel it's a bit of a pity."

Ai knew that Kousuke was faking it, but she still softened towards this boy who was very special to her.

She pursed her lips and said:

"What's a pity?"

"We'll talk about it next time."
