I think they were telling him that Doc Dan's Grandmother had passed. We shall see in the upcoming chapters. That slap was perfect, never have I wanted a main character to get some kind of wake-up call!! Not that Jaekyoung can ever redeem himself it's going to take a lot for the author to make him even semi likable!!!
My heart hurts after reading this chapter!! Cirrus was so heartbroken and the way Skyler was there for him was a beautiful moment in the story!! I hope this doesn't end tragically as this is one of my favorite stories I am currently reading.
