Sei didn’t realize that his voice was quite loud so his announcement completely startled the two babysitters turned stalkers hiding behind the couch. Hinari was still holding a camera in her hand while Little Shin was in Zaki’s arms.
“W-w-what? Right away? Are you guys even serious?! Why the hell are you both acting like teenagers playing house?!” Zaki was so surprised while Hinari started giggling like she was currently watching a romantic Korean drama. She looked exactly like an excited viewer watching her favorite ship sailing for good.
“Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh! I’m going to capture this and turn it into a book! This is so exciting! Ahh… A flash marriage just after the proposal is so damn cool… kyahh!” Hinari was trying her best not to shout out loud that she simply grabbed Zaki and squeezed him and shook him, as if she was venting all her excitement on him that she even forgot the presence of a little bun in his arms. She was just so lost in her ’fangirling’ that she didn’t realized that her grip on Zaki shirt was so tight as if she was about to rip it.
The boy was surprised with what Hinari did and as soon as Zaki saw this, he looked at Little Shin with his brow raised.
“You see how violent she is? Do you still want to marry this kind of girl?” He asked and Little Shin looked at Hinari.
Hinari’s eyes were also suddenly focused on little Shin as if she was anticipating his answer and when the boy replied, Zaki’s eyes could only turn slightly wide.
“I don’t mind.” Little Shin said and as though Hinari won a jackpot, she giggled in happiness as she embraced the little guy.
“Yey! You really are the best my little dearest. Yes, grow up quick and marry me.” She playfully said when suddenly, Zaki flicked her forehead.
“Stop being silly!” he said with a cold voice, causing Hinari to puff her cheeks and attack him with pinches as she ranted at him.
“Don’t spoil the fun you boring heartless man!”
Surprisingly, Zaki just let her do what she wanted to him. However, when Hinari returned her attention to the couple not far from them and started uttering her opinion, Zaki’s expression changed.
“That’s it. That’s how you do it. Great job mighty Sei!” she exclaimed as if she was sending all her support to him, causing Zaki’s brows to knot.
“This is too rushed. Who would get engaged and get married right away?” Zaki said when Hinari immediately puffed her cheeks again at him.
“What! Since they’re engaged anyway, and they love each other to the moon and back, there’s no reason for them to prolong the wait anymore. I personally think that your brother the great’s decision making is the best in this world. That’s what you call a real man. Got it?” she retorted and somehow, Zaki suddenly felt so awful.
“You really dared to call another man ’the best in the world’ right before your fiancé’s face?” Zaki said as he glared at her.
“What, I’m just stating the truth.” She replied without even a millisecond of hesitation, irritating Zaki even more.
Zaki glared at her before he closed in on her face.
“Tell me, how could you even say he’s the best in the world?” he asked with an ever so serious tone and Hinari was shocked with his question.
Hinari looked at him and when she noticed the rare obvious irritation on his face, somehow, her face immediately brightened and she raised an eyebrow.
“What’s this beauty, when did you even become interested with this kind of thing? Are you perhaps j-jealous?” Hinari asked, not answering Zaki’s question.
As soon as the last question left Hinari’s mouth, Zaki suddenly looked away. Afterwards, he breathed in deeply and the irritation on his face disappeared from existence. His eyes turned calm as usual before he again gazed at her.
“They already left. Let’s go.” He said and Hinari could only bite her lip, before she raised her hands and pinched his cheeks again but this time she did it as hard as she could.
“Ouch!” Zaki cried in pain as he held her wrists but Hinari didn’t stop.
“Hey, are planning to split my face into two?!” Zaki complained but Hinari just pressed her lips tight as she exerted even more force. When she was satisfied, she stood up without word and walked away, leaving the pained Zaki and the blinking little Shin, who was quietly watching them fight like cat and dog.
“Uncle, why are you and auntie not married yet?” Little Shin suddenly asked and Zaki froze for a moment.
He looked at the little boy in his arms and after a few moments his eyes softened.
“There are reasons why.” He simply replied as a hint of sadness and pain glittered in his eyes, causing little Shin to just blink again as he looked at him intently, as though he was observing his every expression.
“Uncle, I want you and auntie to be happy too like mommy and daddy, so if you need help, I’ll help you.” The innocent little bun said and his voice was somehow so comforting for Zaki.
“So you’re just flattering your aunt when you say you will marry her, huh? When did you even learn to do that kid?” Zaki replied with a raised brow when the boy immediately replied.
“No, I’m saying it because if you really don’t want to marry her, I really will.” He added and Zaki felt like thunder suddenly struck him. His eyes were wide as he looked at little Shin.
“No, you can’t. You’re too young, you can’t make a girl wait for you to grow up.” The big man instantly replied with an ever so firm voice.
“I just don’t want auntie to be lonely. And besides, aren’t you making auntie wait too? I heard you two were already engaged for almost six years now.”
“…”
