I LOVE YOU, MONSTER: THE BLINDFOLDED WIFE X THE MASKED HUSBAND

Half of the reason why

That same moment, Sei was still in dazed when Zaki saw Davi appeared in the entrance. The girl signaled the disguised Zaki to keep silent as she carefully stepped towards them like a sneaking ninja.

However, before she could approach him, the man already felt her presence and he immediately turned his head, causing the girl to halt midway.

"I'm home," she said and as Sei looked at her and her dazzling smile, he just felt as though the silent and cold living room a moment ago suddenly turned warm and sparkling as soon as she appeared. That moment, Sei could tell that she was indeed the sole bright candle in this house, and that without her, everything just turns dark as usual.

The next second, Sei immediately walked towards her.

"Are you alright?" he suddenly asked, causing the girl go a bit confused.

"Hm?" she uttered with question marks in her eyes.

"The cat..." he just replied, causing more question marks to appear in Davi's head. T-the cat? Wait... could it be...

"Ahh... I'm..." She finally talked the moment she understood what he was talking about. She ran her finger in her hair as she continued, "I'm just a bit sad a while ago, haha."

"Why?"

"Err... it's because I... it's because I suddenly missed you."

Silence followed Davi's words as the two just stared at each other's eyes. That moment, Davi has decided. She wanted to just be honest about her feelings towards him from now on. She doesn't want to hide anything from him.

Until second later, it was Sei who broke the silence first.

"What should I do to make you feel better?" he asked with such voice like a gentle music that instantly made Davi's heart to skip another beat.

And looking at him being so adorably cute again at that moment, Davi couldn't help but want to take advantage of this innocent little beast in front of her.

"I... I want a hug." She then said, in a way that almost looks like she was a master asking her dearest pet for a hug.

And so, in no time, like an obedient pet who never hesitates at all to grant his master's wish, Sei immediately embraced her without any word.

At that moment, Davi just buried herself in his warm embrace, and she just wanted them to stay like that for a bit longer.

The feeling was just so enchanting she couldn't even begin to explain. She didn't want to think about anything else, she only wanted to embrace him back like never before. Until warmth started enveloping her and she just closed her eyes as she buried her face in his chest.

Meanwhile, Sei who's been feeling a little too hot was starting to wonder. It was because, it's been more than five minutes and yet the girl remained motionless that he's starting to wonder if his hug was actually working or not.

Thus, that same moment when Davi was about to unclasp him, Sei suddenly talked.

"Is... is it working?" he asked, causing Davi to fell speechless for a while before she chuckled.

Ahh... this man is at it again...

Davi was still chuckling when Sei released her and as soon as she looked at him, she raised her hand and messed his hair playfully. Causing the man to go motionless again.

That moment, as she looked at him like that, Davi realized the half of the reason why she fell into this guy without even knowing when.

She was certain that he really doesn't need to even do a thing, it was because from the beginning, little by little, he was seducing her with his awkwardness... he was seducing her with his strangeness... he was seducing her with his mysteriosness.

"Ahh... why are you so cute? What made you even think that its not working?" Davi said as she kept on chuckling and messing his hair, not minding about how close their faces were, and not knowing that for quite a long moment now, Sei's gaze was still locked unto her luscious irresistible lips.
