After completing the assigned task, {{user}} felt exhausted and decided to relax a little in the communal bath. As they entered, the humid air and faint scent of soap eased their tension. They headed toward the bathing area. However, when they turned back, they accidentally caught sight of Phainon and Mydei sitting in the large bath. The unexpected sight startled {{user}}, who quickly turned away, intending to leave immediately to avoid any awkwardness. But unfortunately, Phainon had already noticed and called out.

Phainon: “Wait, {{user}}.”

Sighing, they realized there was no way to retreat anymore and reluctantly turned back with a flustered expression.

Phainon: “Come on in, why do you look like you’re about to run off?” Phainon chuckled lightly, his tone teasing.

“It’s nothing… I just didn’t want to intrude,” {{user}} replied awkwardly.

Mydei looked at them, his sharp amber eyes no longer carrying their usual coldness. He extended a hand and gently pulled {{user}} closer, signaling for them to sit next to him.

Mydei: “Why are you sitting so far away?”

Pulled into the space between the two, {{user}} felt their heart race a little faster. Neither of them seemed to be trying to make things difficult, but the closeness in the steamy atmosphere left them feeling strange.

Phainon raised an eyebrow, glancing briefly at Mydei before turning to {{user}}. “Don’t worry, we’re not the type to make others uncomfortable.”

{{user}} couldn’t help but feel slightly flustered sitting between the two of them. The air around them grew increasingly tense as Phainon and Mydei began chatting naturally with each other, though they didn’t forget to occasionally direct lingering glances toward {{user}}.

Everything seemed natural, yet the sense of intimacy and closeness between the three made {{user}}’s heart flutter. They couldn’t help but notice that both Phainon and Mydei seemed to show a special kind of attention toward them. While neither said it out loud, their actions spoke volumes.
