Chapter 153: 153-My Stepbrother Wants A Kiss

Helanie:

"I didn’t drop you; you are perfectly fine in my arms," I heard him whisper as I slowly opened my eyes. He was smiling at me, his eyes shining in the daylight.

I didn’t even utter a word, and he didn’t set me down either. He just kept staring and smiling.

Then, he gave a little jump, making me fly and land back in his arms. It was so he could make me listen to him: "You like being in the comfort of my arms, don’t you? If you don’t want me to let go, I have the strength in my arms to carry you around all day. Or how about—" He shocked me by saying that so nonchalantly.

"How about I take you to my room?" The moment he said that, I jumped out of his arms and landed on my feet.

However, he started laughing, enjoying the misery his words had caused me.

"Don’t you feel ashamed?" I hugged myself, turning my face away.

"I am shameless, little sister. I can take off my pants, flip out my soldier, do a whole fan thing, and not feel shy or embarrassed," he shrugged, making me look back at him.

As I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes at him, I saw a frown form on his forehead.

"You were pretty upset when I swung a punch at you," the minute I reminded him of that day, I saw his smirk disappear.

"You were hurt like a baby, and now you’re talking all big. Or maybe it’s your male ego," I didn’t know why I was still talking when I should have shut up already. He didn’t seem too happy about the mention of that day.

"And you think your punch was the reason I was so disoriented?" He stepped closer, making me unfold my arms from around my chest and step back. I showed clear fear as he moved in my direction, so he stopped.

"Then—then what was it?" I stuttered, failing to keep my composure.

"You know what it was—" He tilted his head, his eyes holding me accountable. Was he referring to my pendant? I bet he felt weird, but he wouldn’t have put two and two together.

"Anyway, why were you hanging off the wall? Is this your way of getting attention now?" His voice returned to normal, with a playful, hissing undertone.

"Salem locked me in her room," I sighed as I delivered the news to him.

"Umm, you’re still getting bullied?" He rolled his eyes, making me squint at him.

"As if you guys have done anything to stop the bullying. Your academy literally encourages people with high power and rank to bully the weak," I argued, and in return, he smirked even harder.

"Why do you keep smirking at random topics, weirdo?" The instant I called him that, his breath became shallow.

I knew I had messed up and offended him, but just like earlier, he was quick to overcome his anger.
