Chapter 130
“Why? Isn’t this a veeeery small price to pay compared to what Izzen did?”
“Miss Heesu, please…….”
“Ah, there’s no such thing as ‘please.’ Either get beaten to death now, or just take off your hat. Choose one.”
Jaeha, who was watching him from the side, chimed in.
“Wow~ You’re so incredibly generous. If it were me, I would have already beaten you to death, but I wonder if it’s okay to be this generous?”
Although he said it as if he were serious, it was clear from his expression that he was so happy he could die. At his words, Heesu gushed and retorted.
“Right? Aren’t I too generous?”
“Oh no. You’re so generous that tomorrow, the news will spread throughout the entire neighborhood.”
“I’m thinking of even reporting it to a reporter! That I’m this generous!”
“Then I’ll report it on the news. This is a real big news, big news.”
“You two…….”
Looking at the two people who were cackling with excitement, Izzen frowned with a troubled expression.
He quietly canceled one of the things he had said to Jaeha a long time ago. He had honestly thought, “You’re a complete stranger, yet you’re so good at talking about family, siblings, and older sister” but now he saw that wasn’t it. They were siblings, all right. It was undeniable, seeing how well they got along like this.
“Hey, just take it off. What’s the big deal?”
“Right, right. What’s the big deal about taking that off?”
“I wonder what kind of a great secret it is that he has to hide it.”
Jaeha rested his chin on his hand and grinned.
“Actually, I already have an idea what’s in there.”
Heesu also crossed her arms and grinned.
“Oh, yeah? But isn’t it pretty anticlimactic for something he tried so hard to hide?”
Then, Jaeha chimed in mischievously.
“Right! I don’t know why he hid it in the first place! It’s really nothing!”
Heesu gushed again and agreed with him. Then, she and Jaeha looked at Izzen at the same time and smirked.
“You hear that? He says it’s nothing.”
“Yeah. It’s nothing, so just take it off quickly.”
“Hurry up. If you keep dragging it out, something that’s nothing will become something, you know?”
“Y-You’re right about that, sir. Let’s just finish it quickly. Hurry.”
Izzen, who had been clenching his lips with a troubled expression at the combined attack of the two, finally closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.
“Haaa…….”
It was essentially a declaration of surrender.
In the end, Izzen reluctantly touched his hat. He had prepared himself and put strength into his hand, but the moment he was about to take off the hat, he hesitated again. But there was no other choice anyway. It was something that was going to happen anyway. If so, it seemed better to just do it quickly, as they said.
“It’s really, really nothing, right?”
When Izzen nervously checked, the siblings quickly nodded.
“Yeah. It’s nothing.”
“Yes. It’s absolutely nothing.”
In the end, Izzen bit his lip with a determined expression and dramatically took off his hat.
And from inside the hat,
“Pfft!”
A pair of twitching cat ears popped out. Two large, plump, purple ears.
“Ahahahahaha! It was a cat after all!”
Heesu pointed at the ears and laughed like a maniac.
“So that cat was Izzen! My goodness, he was actually a cat! Hahahaha!”
“What’s wrong? Isn’t he kind of cute? Pfft…… Pwahahahahaha!”
Jaeha also began to laugh excitedly next to her.
“It’s funny because he’s cute! Ahahaha! Hahahahahaha! He was acting all mysterious and nonchalant, but he was hiding cat ears under his hat! Wow, this is so funny! Kyahahahaha!”
“He’s hiding it because he knows he doesn’t look cool with them on, right? Tsk…… Isn’t that even funnier? Hahahahaha!”
“Really? Oh my god! Hahahaha! Wow, seriously, this is so, so funny! Hahaha! Kyahahahaha!”
“…….”
Izzen looked back and forth between the two people who were laughing loudly and hitting the sofa, with a hurt look in his eyes.
“You two…… didn’t you say it was nothing earlier?”
As if to express his feelings, his cat ears on his head twitched and drooped a little. At that sight, the two of them held their stomachs and laughed even more.
“How could it be nothing? It’s cat ears!”
“A wicked and cunning villain and mastermind has cat ears! How is that nothing?! Hahaha!”
And they continued to laugh excitedly for a long time after that. It was really for a long time.
Izzen had to sit there and endure it as if he were being punished. It was a truly miserable time. For this period, they felt like even more wicked villains than he was.
And so, the siblings were happy, and the cat was sad.
