Chapter 57 - One h.e.l.l of a Kind
"Easy... just let her beat you and it will all be over after that!"
Hearing Zaki"s advice, Sei shrugged Zaki"s hand off his shoulder.
"I can"t wake her up now. We still need to get back right away," he said and Zaki could only tug at his hair, showing his extreme disappointment.
d.a.m.n it! What bad timing.
"Then just let her beat you when we"re officially back, okay?" Zaki obviously sounded like he just wanted to see him get beaten up by his wife so Sei just replied with a cold "Shut up" as he walked towards the entrance.
Some moments later, the door of the bedroom was pushed open gently and silently.
Footsteps then drew closer and Sei sat on the side of the bed as the yellow light from the bedside lamp lit the room softly.
Sei stared, for some time, at the sleeping girl still holding a book in her hand, before he slowly took the book away and put it on the table.
For some unknown reason, looking at her peaceful angel-like feature, Sei suddenly felt strangely comforted, as if she was an alluring oasis in the middle of a vast dry desert.
He watched her quietly like that for a long time until he reflexively started caressing her soft cheek, as gently as ever.
Shortly after, Sei was stunned as he found himself touching her face. He was about to pull back when Davi suddenly reached out her hand causing Sei to freeze as if he was a thief who was caught red-handed. Davi immediately caught his hand with her eyes closed then she hugged it as if his hand was some teddy bear. At that very moment, he remained thunderstruck while the girl just continued sleeping soundly without letting go of his hand.
Sei didn"t move an inch after that. He didn"t want to wake her up but he also needed to leave as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he didn"t know how to remove his hand without waking her up.
Meanwhile, Zaki sent Sei a message. They were running out of time and they needed to leave now. However, Sei"s reply made his eyes widen and he needed to read the message again to make sure he wasn"t seeing things. "Bring me a teddy bear."
"Huh?! A Teddy bear?! Why?" Zaki"s loud voice echoed in the quiet large lounge. But he soon somehow understood what was going on.
"YiJin, find a teddy bear, fast! Go to the maids" house, they might have one there." YiJin instantly disappeared and after some moments, he returned with a small teddy bear in his hand.
Zaki took it and immediately ran upstairs. Upon gently opening the door of the room, his eyes bulged out when he saw Sei in an awkward position with the girl hugging his hand. He walked quietly beside Sei, trying his very best to not make any noise. Zaki was aware that the moment they awakened her, they might not be able to leave the house on time anymore.
Thus, as if they were elite partners in the process of defusing a bomb, Sei started pulling his hand from her grasp while Zaki was carefully trying to replace it with a teddy bear. However, midway along the process, Davi"s brows knitted, causing the two guys to immediately halt and hold their breaths. They stood, motionless, not daring to breathe, like perfect figures made of stone, until the girl finally went back to sleep again.
The moment the girl fell asleep again, Zaki signaled for Sei to continue removing his hand and after a short while, the bomb was defused. However, right after Sei stood up, Davi unexpectedly moved and out of nowhere, Zaki suddenly pulled Sei down, signaling him to immediately hide. With a confused face, Sei didn"t have a choice but to follow the guy who was pulling him, thus the two ended up lying face down on the floor, as though they were soldiers hiding from their enemies. Zaki was covering his mouth, looking like a child who was desperately trying to suppress his laughter, while Sei was like a confused stone, looking as though he was wondering what the h.e.l.l they were doing and what the h.e.l.l was going on.
A second after that, they heard her m.o.a.n. The two froze completely when they saw the light turn off.
d.a.m.n! She"s awake!
Thankfully, she seemed to be half-awake when she turned the light off and she returned to sleep right away. The moment they realized she was asleep, the two carefully walked out of the room like ninjas.
As soon as they reached the lounge, the two breathed in so deeply, as if they finally reached the surface after being underwater for so long.
The experience was one h.e.l.l of a kind that the two of them didn"t know how to react. They had never been in a situation like that before.
Holy sh*t! That was extreme.
Zaki burst out laughing as soon as they were out of the house that he even teared up and rolled on the ground. Sei, on the other hand, just looked back at the house. He stood there quietly for a moment before walking back to the car.
