Lionel’s face crumpled as the child came closer to me.
“You”
I involuntarily wrapped myself in the child’s body in a ferocious response.
“Both of you, be quiet.”
Askale, who had been observing the situation so far, finally spoke.
Is he trying to protect the child? It was surprising to see Askale’s cold face like this.
But unsurprisingly, Askale looked a little annoyed.
“Isn’t your brother in trouble? And you stay away from my sister, too.”
The Askale’s cold voice was directed to the child this time. Askale didn’t seem to like children either.
But I was more surprised than that by the word ‘my sister that come out of Askale’s mouth.
No matter how much it is a dream, I didn’t expect to hear this.
I couldn’t say a word and felt someone pulling my hem.
He was a meek child.
“Lindel, they’re bullying me.”
The child spoke to me, but I couldn’t do anything for him. I turned my eyes to the unbelievable atmosphere between Lionel and Askale.
“Hey, why are you doing this to a kid? Just calm down.”
“Who’s a kid?”
Lionel’s sharp voice cut me off. He was staring indignantly at the child next to me.
“He’s just a child.”
“Lindel, how can that be a child?”
Lionel frowned as if he was dumbfounded by what I said. It was his irritating face that I hadn’t seen recently.
I was surprised by the curtness I hadn’t seen in a long time, but this was it.
“Are you jealous?”
It was a little funny to see him jealous of a small child who was more than half his age. I laughed quietly, throwing away my nervousness.
Then Lionel’s eyebrow wriggled.
“Is it obvious?”
Oh my gosh! I never imagined that he would be jealous of a child.
Lionel’s reaction was amazing and surprising, but at that moment, Askale called me.
He looked at me with alarmed eyes, as if my mind were off.
“Sister, what happened to your hair?”
“What? My hair?”
I stared at him, unsettled by his direct remarks. Askale was piercing me with his eyes.
“That bastard, where is the little boy?
I followed Askale’s gaze and turned my head to my side. The child was obviously a child, but I felt strange about their reaction that kept thinking I was weird.
“What are you saying?”
However, as soon as I turned my head, I was surprised by the sight of the dark man, who filled the view, and fell back.
“Oh my god! You scared me!”
I almost broke the back of my head, but I was able to avoid the man pulling me down.
A grown man was now sitting in the place where the child was.
The man smiled at me.
TL/N: Honestly, I have no clue what’s happening but like we all have weird dreams sometimes. Hopefully, this dream where this child turns into a grown man is explained in the future?
