Jealousy

Author: I hope that this one could entertain you!

• Khun

Charlotte's life had gotten a thousand times better right after she transmigrated. She could walk again and be friends with everyone who cares deeply for her. She was happy that she had them as their friends. Boys or girls, males or females, Charlotte were happy to be their friends.

But there was a certain person who wasn't happy when Charlotte be friend with lots of boys. This person was not Bam and Altaira, but Khun Aguero Agnes.

His mood has been worse since the morning.

"What's wrong with him?" Novick wondered.

"Probably because he needs attention from a certain someone" Ran nonchalantly answered.

"Who could move that ice heart man to the point he needs his attention so bad?"

"The said stone hearted girl who doesn't notice that she has been stared for hours."

Charlotte was a nice person. As long she could help, then she wanted to help.

This morning, Noah asked for her help to build some pillow fort so that he could share it with Celeste. Charlotte found it amusing and decided to help, although it turned to be a pillow fight between the two of them. Khun happened to see that and in irritation, he used the mess that they made as a reason to scold them.

And then when they were having lunch, Altaira was playing with Charlotte and teased her. In anger, Charlotte shot bangs to him but Altaira dodged everything. Using the same excuse which is the mess that they made, Khun scolded them again.

Later on, she was with Hatz the samurai and he was currently explaining about his sword. Charlotte listened to everything attentively. Khun didn't have any excuse to scold them and could only watch them from a far while clenching on the knife that he was holding.

And now, Charlotte was having a conversation again with Altaira, Noah and Celeste. If Charlotte didn't spend her time with Celeste, then it would be Noah. If it wasn't Noah, then it would be Altaira. Or, she would leave with Bam or anyone else.

It was as if he didn't exist.

He decided to approach her.

"Then why don't we watch the movie later on?" Charlotte suggested the idea. "The four of us."

Then what about him? Was he not invited?

"I want to but I haven't cleaned the mess yet" Noah answered. He sighed and said, "If you only you didn't throw that pillow on me....."

"Ho Ho Ho" Charlotte laughed sarcastically. "Who was the one who mocked me first? We all know who is the sinner here."

"Childish."

"Over protective single brother."

Noah gritted his teeth and stood up while smacking his drink. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Fight me again if you dare!"

"Who is afraid of you?" Charlotte asked back. "If I back down from this fight, then I won't be considered as a brave soul!"

While the two of them were glaring to each other, Altaira was smiling at Celeste who was coolly sipping her tea.

"But don't you think Khun is a little bit weird today?" Celeste asked. "He is getting more temperament than usual."

Charlotte and Noah stopped fighting and looked at Celeste for a moment before they looked at each other. They agreed and sat down back to their chairs to talk about it.

"Right" Charlotte agreed. "He seems annoyed. I wonder what pissed him off."

"So you can eliminate it?"

"Ah?" Charlotte looked at Noah before she closed her golden eyes and chuckled while waving her right palm. "No, no, no. Considering that he had fed me with that thing, I will only do the opposite."

"Well who knows what he is thinking?" Altaira asked even though he silently knew the answer. He laughed, "Maybe it's because Ran and Novick destroyed his lighthouse again."

"Maybe" Charlotte agreed.

Khun can't take this anymore.

"It seems like you know it well, Altaira" Khun's voice startled the four of them.

Altaira choked on his tea when he heard that very familiar yet terrifying voice.

They all remained silent when the devil suddenly appeared and looked at them with the look that he was going to kill them.

He looked at Charlotte and scared her a bit. Charlotte wondered what sin she did this time.

He held her arm and pulled her, "Come with me."

"A-ah!" She nearly tripped. "Where are we going?"

"Groceries. Now."

"O-ok.....alright......"

Charlotte followed Khun from behind while holding a plastic bag with stuffs and chewing her candy.

"Noah will sure love this chocolate" Charlotte said and looked at the box of chocolate in the plastic bag.

When Khun heard that, he froze in the spot.

Charlotte was humming and humming that she didn't notice that he stopped walking and hit his back.

"Ugh....." She held her nose and stepped few steps backward. She looked at Khun who suddenly stopped and asked, "What happen?"

"Noah again?" He asked and glared to her.

Charlotte could swear that she didn't pull any pranks or even approach Khun ever since she woke up until now.

He turned around and put his hands on the pockets. He asked, "Don't you think you are too focused on this Noah?"

"Well, he is my friend."

"Hatz?"

"My friend."

"Altaira?"

"He is my brother other than Bam" Charlotte answered. She tilted her head and asked, "You have known all of these right?"

"......." Well, he did know all of this. He asked, "But have you never thought that you are being too close with them?"

She thought about it and answered, "Not at all."

"Even when they hold your hands?" Khun asked in disbelief.

"It's just holding hands" Charlotte said. "I also hold Celeste's hands often and even sleep with her. It's not like there is COVID-19 in the tower right?"

"......" For this one, he was speechless.

Is it normal if you feel jealous when your crush is sleeping with another person who shared the same gender with them even when you know that their relationship were like sisters or brothers?

Khun thought that words will be able to make this stone hearted and headed girl realize about his jealousy but it seemed like he had overestimated her. Just like a stone, words weren't able to move him.

But even a stone will also break one day. He just refused to believe that he won't be able to win her heart.

He immediately covered her eyes with his right palm so that she wasn't able to see anything. She was about to ask what he was doing when she felt something on her lips for a moment.

She was speechless. Her mind was also blank. What was the soft thing on her lips? She hoped that it wasn't what she thought.

By the time he lowered his hand, Charlotte was able to see the blush on his face. He also covered his mouth and looked away.

".......It's not what I think right?" She asked.

"What do you think?" Khun asked back.

"..... You...you can't be....k....k....." She swallowed her saliva.

Damn it! She can't say that word out loud! She wanted to appear as a calm and cool girl but her body wasn't listening!

Alright! Since she can't say the word, then she would just use the definition of that word! A thousand problems, a million solutions! She didn't have to say the word to ask him!

"You can't be doing that to me right?" She asked again as her cheeks gone red. "The act that a lover will do to his lover by lips!"

"......." Did his actions shock her more than he thought would be? She can't even say those words.

But he has to admit, when he saw Charlotte being embarrassed like that, he didn't feel embarrassed anymore. He even chuckled.

Charlotte hit his shoulder lightly and asked him, "Why are you laughing? What did you do to me? Answer me?"

He whispered close to her ear, "Ah, you mean kissing? I did that."

"......."

Charlotte stiffened when she heard that answer. She didn't notice that Khun was waiting to see her reaction with a smirk.

Soon enough, her face reddened as red as tomato and strawberry combined. Steam even came out from her head and Khun laughed.

"Why are you laughing for?" Charlotte asked.

"If you look at your own face, then you would understand it."

Charlotte didn't know what she should do to hide her own face as she decided to squat down and rested her forehead on her arms that were on her ankles.

"What's wrong?" Khun asked happily. "Are you too embarrassed to see me?"

Charlotte didn't answer. She pretended to be deaf and ignored his words. He even squatted down next to her and teased her again and again.

After he teased her so many times, Charlotte thought that she should at least say something in response. She wanted to come back with a good response but somehow she can't think any. Her mind was jumping around her head already.

At the end, she pushed him a bit and the only word that could come out from her mouth was: "Annoying."

Her voice sounded like she was embarrassed but Khun didn't fail to notice the hint of happiness. He chuckled and patted the back of her head. He felt lot of better when he saw her reaction and he was certain that the feelings were mutual.

Therefore, he calmly said the three words 'I like you' to her and although she felt that she was going to faint already, she still managed to say those three words in soft voice.

"What? I can't hear you. Repeat it again."

"I like you, I like you, I like you!" She said in annoyance. "Are you happy now?"

• Charlotte?

For what reason should this girl feel jealous? She had read the comic and believed Khun wholeheartedly. No matter how much Khun wanted to make her feel the jealousy that he felt that day, Charlotte had always manage to convince herself that he was a loyal person.

And the one who was jealous is him instead.

After their relationship was official, Charlotte did pay attention on physical contact with the others so he thought that there would be no problem.

But that morning, when he saw Altaira chasing Charlotte while holding his spear from Celeste's room and when he caught her and tickled her until she laughed loudly, he knew what kind of feeling that he was feeling.

The two of them looked at him in fear when he suddenly appeared like a ghost.

While holding her tired stomach, Charlotte called his name, "K-Khun....."

"Stand up" he said and Charlotte obeyed it.

Khun didn't want to talk meaningless words and once she stand up, he immediately carried her to somewhere else.

"......" Altaira remained speechless for a moment.

"....what has just happened?"
