❝ Umm, guess we'll leave. Continue whatever you're doing, bruh. ❞ Jungwon cringed before shaking off the goosebumps from his skin and his soulmate Bora wanted to wheeze so hard about how her lover boy's being disgusted by the elders' romance somehow.

❝ Kids, I swear to god it's not what it seems like! ❞ Mijin desperately urged an explanation towards the young couple who's dumbfounded by them as she pushed Jongseong away from her.

❝ Ah! ❞ And of course, the dorky male just had to land his back onto the floor with her force like a dumbass as he groans.

The scenery was just so messy and Jongseong embarrassingly being the same old resentment, anger, shame himself made Jungwon amused as the sassy younger slightly enjoyed his closest hyung suffering moments.

❝ Jay hyung, you should really sign up to become a clown at the circus. ❞ , recommended Jungwon as his cute little dimples appeared on both of his mochi cheeks with a sarcastic yet witty remark. Bora reminded her boyfriend to stop taking advantage of his silly hyung's funny experiences.

Jongseong who's helplessly lying on the ground just received another wave of laughter. But this time, it's Mijin's chaotic laughter which sounds adorable for the first time as the young female also got the contagiously laughing virus.

His back arched against the clean ground with a furry carpet ached but it's worth the pain to receive Mijin's angelic laughter while focused staring at her.

Jongseong thought that he'd never be able to hear her purely babyish laughter in this life anymore but he's proved wrong this time.

❝ Haha, very funny. ❞

-

❝ Thanks again for watching over Baekyoung while I was busy. ❞ The smart boy tucked his hands inside the black pitched trousers before flashing a genuine smile to express his gratitude for the young female.

❝ Happy to help, I guess? ❞ Thank god that Baekyoung was a considerate child so it eased Mijin's duties of properly babysitting him. Only if kids these days were obedient as him, Mijin'd have already been applying as a babysitter.

❝ Sleep tight and sweet dreams Jinjin. ❞ The somewhat lovable boy chattered a great farewell, making Mijin's pessimistic side of him shrink than before.

The boyfriend material guy swayed his hand in the air while dropping her safe and sound in front of the main gate like before.

It felt awkward of Mijin to no longer experience his cheesy acts on her but one thing for sure was that she's enjoying the gradually upgrading system of Park Jongseong.

❝ Night to you too, jayjay. Mijin whispered the latest pet name that Jongseong'd given to the two of them. The boy's kind of shocked and overwhelmed to receive an unexpected response from Mijin but his eardrums couldn't be messing with him right.

' Shit. ' Mijin scolded herself in mind for blurting it out of the blue which was probably leaving Jay behind with wrong assumptions as his delulu ass was seen to be grinning so proudly.

Her corny voice at the moment just made it sound weirder.

The flustered female just rushed indoors to avoid her peachy cheeks from being seen as soon as possible.

❝ Cute. ❞ , mumbled Jay to himself as he watched the girl whom he's sincerely having a crush on for the first time, enter her home.

He didn't like the giddy feeling which was automatically stored inside his chest.

A hopeless romanticist like him was already giving up on a love line but why was Mijin making him feel lovey-dovey and head over heels?

Over a billion women are living in this world but she's the only one who's protesting to fall in love with him if it weren't for their deal and the soulmate threat.

Jay's starting to fall for her without his clumsy self even noticing and there's nothing to stop his beaming heart now.

But was it really the right thing for him to do though?

What he'd done was nothing but blackmail her with the advantage of the sickening curse in his knowledge.

Even worse to add it, there's probably a death threat by the soulmate disorder starting to exist in the two lives.

But Jongseong felt so disappointed himself for holding her back like a bird in its cage. He was disgusted at his ridiculous self for threatening her with that miserable curse.

An admirable woman like her deserves freedom and justice.

The most disjointed fact was that he's being a foolish guy to trigger her weakness just like that. How stupid and immature of him to do so. And what was he even thinking when he quoted that he'll be the one to break her heart?

Maybe it's time to let her go.
