Chapter 60

Ryan's POV
When I returned to the inpatient room occupied by Alina. Immediately I was shocked, even though I had not arrived in this room for long. I was startled by the sound of Mark's voice getting closer. I think he will come into this room and check Alina's condition here. I became increasingly suspicious of Mark's behavior which showed that he really cared about Alina.
"Is that Mark's voice?" Alina asked as if she was surprised that Mark would come here.
"Yes, right." I immediately looked for ideas to hide and I got the inspiration to hide behind the curtains. I don't know why I did it spontaneously because I was worried that Mark would find me here. If Mark sees me here then my history is over.
Knock knock knock.
I finished hiding and there was a knock on the door. Alina invited someone behind the door to enter this room.
"Come in!"
The door opened and sure enough it was Mark who came. Luckily I was quick enough to hide, otherwise Mark would have caught me standing next to Alina.
I peeked from behind the curtains and overheard their conversation. After talking for some time I got clear facts regarding the two of them.
I heard clearly that Mark said he and Alina were officially dating. It wasn't even unexpected that Mark bravely hugged and kissed Alina. For some reason, I suddenly felt hot all over my body. Especially my face and chest felt very tight. My skin turned red because I felt the heat was unbearable. I don't know why I suddenly wanted to clench my fists. Then there was a desire to finish off Mark right now. When my eyes clearly saw him hugging Alina full of worry. I saw that Alina looked confused and stiff. She seemed to keep a load of thoughts in her head so she remained silent when Mark hugged her and kissed her forehead. Is it possible that Alina is guarding my feelings? Hah... Emm... I would be too confident if I thought that something like that had happened to Alina to me. It's clear that Alina only loves her lover, Mark. That's why they were dating and Alina accepted the invitation to become Mark's girlfriend. But why hasn't Mark ever told me or our friends about that? Em... it's very strange, he apparently doesn't notice our presence anymore. Even though this is not a joke. Dating Alina or anyone else is a big deal for our Hocky team. Because it is clear that it will hinder everything related to our group affairs.
My mind had drifted away thinking about all sorts of things about the two of them. Until drowsiness suddenly hit. I subconsciously closed my eyes. When I woke up I heard Alina calling me repeatedly in a loud voice. It seems like he's been calling me for quite a while. Hmm... did I sleep long enough? Then I missed a lot of things that could have happened between Mark and Alina. I felt strange with myself, it seemed like I was jealous and I couldn't deny that I didn't feel okay when I saw Alina and Mark making out, even when they were close in a normal way, suddenly I felt unwilling. Even though Alina is nothing to me. She was just someone who passed by in my life and I had only known her for a short time since that incident, so I met Alina more intensely, both intentionally and unintentionally. Moreover, we often train together on certain schedules during hockey player training.
"Ryan, Ryan?" Alina called my name, half screaming.
That's what I heard and when I was startled from my sleep. Sometimes I even sleep while standing but don't fall at all. Maybe I was so tired that sleepiness made me able to develop the skill of sleeping standing up like this.
I came out of my hiding place and started walking towards Alina.
"Are you sleeping?" Alina asked me.
"Hehe..." I scratched the back of my head.
"Hmm... that's basic. I thought you were eavesdropping on my conversation with Mark and peeking at us from behind the curtains."
I don't want to discuss it at all. Because discussing this will only make me feel bad and will even show that my jealousy in front of Alina is uncontrollable. I pretended not to hear and witness everything that happened between Mark and Alina earlier. I started to change the conversation so that Alina would be distracted and not discuss this matter.
"Oh yeah, is Mark out yet?" I asked innocently.
"Yes of course, that's why I called you to come out too. Mark has already left with Tom."
"Em... Tom was here earlier?"
"Yes, he came very quickly to call Mark back to Jake's hospital room."
"Huh, is there a problem with Jake?"
"It sounds like that, but it's clear that Tom called Mark because Jordan was there."
"Huh Jordan is here again." Suddenly I was shocked when I heard Jordan's name mentioned. Danger! Woe! This is very serious. That means Jake and the other friends are in big trouble now.
"Who is Jordan? I just heard his name mentioned. Is he your college friend?" Alina asked flatly and seemed curious about Jordan.
I don't have time to answer Alina's question. Because it takes a long time to explain Jordan. I immediately said goodbye to Alina to immediately return to Jake's room. Don't let me be late and everything has been thrown into chaos. Maybe my friends will get even more angry with me. Moreover, I disappeared to go here without saying goodbye and asking them permission. It's even possible and certain that they now don't know where I am and are wondering where I am.
"Sorry Alina, I have to go now."
"Why?” Alina seemed to object when I had to leave.
But it can't be helped that I still have to leave here. They need my presence more. Meanwhile, Alina is fine and nothing bad threatens her now.
I don't need answers and fulfillment of permission from Alina. Immediately I ran outside to meet Jordan and my friends who were facing Jordan. Before it was too late, I had to speed up my journey to Jake's room.
Until finally I arrived in front of Jake's room. I no longer cared about Alina's feelings when I had to hurry as fast as possible to get here. I see chaos has occurred here. The mess created by the red werewolf.
