20 seconds of silence, That was a record for Zoey— 20 judging, angry, loathing seconds.

Zoey was absolutely the definition of 'Not in the mood', her shoulder tensed, a grip on her arms as they were crossed, looking to be an attempt at a self hug. Her lips were pressed into a thin line, her eyebrows slightly furrowed and the last sign: Her irrefutable silence.

It felt like a gut punch— Like particular vacuum sucked up all the energy that made the room thrive.

The whole table was sort of silent because of this, Mira sitting next to Zoey with her steaming bowl of Ramyun, left untouched for the longest while, so did Rumi and Zoey's, especially Zoey's. Rumi sat infront of them, her expression a bit uncomfortable, as if she'd break into a nervous sweat right then and there, that was before the purple haired girl cleared her throat.

"Uhm—It's getting a bit quiet.." Rumi pointed out, but everyone already knew, it didn't help drag anything from either Mira or Zoey. That made her swallow the lump in her throat.

Great.. Crushing silence even powerful demons couldn't withstand and two silent band-mates..
