Chapter 24 - Amus.e.m.e.nt
Meanwhile, a big cinnamon was rolling on the floor right after he took a good shot of that breathtaking moment. He gripped his cellphone and was desperately trying to suppress his desire to laugh out loud so as not to disrupt the current live fairytale in the kitchen.
He couldn"t imagine the level of shock Sei was suffering at the moment. It was because, even he, who was just quietly watching, already suffered a hundred volts of shock because of that manly kiss.
My G.o.d Davi, your highness! What the h.e.l.l are you trying to do?!
Zaki was too amused. He didn"t expect Davi to suddenly turn herself into a gentle prince.
As Davi was about to take her seat again, a loud sound of shattering gla.s.s broke the stalemate of deep silence.
Davi and Sei instantly turned their head towards the corner where the sound came from and a pale young man could be seen standing near the window with the gray curtains dancing behind him.
The sight of him, looking like a beautiful, ethereal boy who just rose from the dead, instantly transformed the manly prince, who was courting a princess a moment ago, into something completely different.
"Ahhh!!! G-ghost!!" Davi screamed the moment she saw him. She turned her head away instantly as she froze, thinking she just saw a ghost. It was because she was sure no one was there before. She was sure that she and Sei were the only people in the kitchen the whole time. She didn"t see anyone come in, and Mr. Chen was only peeking by the door until now.
Davi"s extreme fear made her entire body s.h.i.+ver, as though she just fell in the frozen waters of Antarctica.
Her wide eyes fell on the masked man right across the long table. Then she fell on her knees and crawled under the table, straight towards Sei.
The moment she reached him, Davi clung into Sei"s thigh right away causing Sei to frown behind his mask. Feeling her trembling body, Sei felt a sudden urge to kill the people that did this to her.
But looking at the s.h.i.+vering girl tightly hugging his thigh like a scared little bunny, Sei could only put his big hand on her head to try and ease her excessive fear.
"It"s not a ghost, it"s Yijin." He said, as he kept caressing her hair. "Look."
Upon hearing Sei"s words, Davi forced herself to come back to her senses. She knew that her reactions were somehow stupid and exaggerated, but she couldn"t help it. Her body reacted even faster than her brain when it came to ghosts.
After a while, she raised her head without letting go of Sei"s thigh and she slowly took a peek above the table.
A pretty, young boy with a really apologetic face appeared before her eyes. He was indeed the ghost she just saw. But he was no ghost, just a pretty, young boy. He was the boy holding a bunch of red roses whom she met the first day she arrived in this house. His name was YiJin.
The young man walked towards her right away and bowed multiple times.
"I… I… I"m very sorry young miss. I didn"t mean to scare you, I"m truly sorry."
He apologized over and over again making Davi feel a bit guilty. She then forced herself to calm down and forget about her fear.
"N-no, it"s alright. It"s my fault, I get scared too easily. Haha." She was trying to laugh it off but she was still clinging to Sei"s thigh. It was because she was still a bit scared. She was still full of doubt even though she could clearly see that the young man in front of her was human, made of flesh. But she was sure that no one was there before and if he was not a ghost, how did he get in? It was impossible for anyone to come in without being seen because the only entrance was right in front of her! She didn"t even feel his presence at all. She wanted to find a way to convince herself but...
"Want to make sure? Why don"t you touch him?" Sei"s voice abruptly made Davi lift her head and stare at the man whose thigh she was hugging. Her brows instantly furrowed as though she couldn"t believe what he just said. She couldn"t help but feel another s.h.i.+ver go down her spine. It was because the man appeared as though he could hear everything she didn"t say out loud; as though he could read her mind and hear her inner thoughts.
"Ahh… You… please stop scaring me, too!!" she pleaded with teary eyes, instantly confusing Sei. Huh? When did I scare her?
"Haha. It"s really fine young mi---," the disguised Zaki, who finally appeared to rescue the two hopeless beings beside her, couldn"t continue his words. It was because the girl suddenly jumped at him as soon as she heard him and then hid behind him while tugging at his s.h.i.+rt tightly.
Zaki was stunned, but the first thing he did was look at the masked man in front of him.
Sei"s aura instantly turned unbelievably dark as he stood up. His line of sight seemed to be locked onto the girl"s hand on Zaki"s hip.
"Pfft." Zaki couldn"t help but cover his mouth. He was too amused by what was going on that he wanted to just laugh out loud. His face was unbelievably bright, as if he was watching a great comedy show.
Noticing Zaki"s mischievously bright expression, Sei realized his own reaction and was a bit surprised. He then suppressed his dark aura but he was still painfully distracted by the sight of her touching another man.
He again glared back at the man who was still smiling at him mischievously, obviously enjoying Sei"s current troubled mood.
