"Second brother, let's talk." I said to him.
He seemed a bit uncomfortable with the topic as he stood there, all tense.
"Second brother~ Why are standing there in the hot sun? Come sit!" I whined while patting the recliner beside me.
He seemed to contemplate his options and finally chose to sit down.
"Third brother, what's there to talk about?"
I gave him a side eye while taking a sip of my drink.
"Of course, it's about the fight we had before I bashed my head." I said blandly.
He seemed to tense more than he already had when he heard my words.
"What's there to talk about?"
"Second brother, why are you avoiding me? Is it because of the fight?"
He looked at me.
"Second brother, actually... I don't remember much of what happened then. My memory seems to be a bit muddled."
His brows furrowed,"What do you mean 'your memory seems to be a bit muddled'?! Why didn't you say anything sooner? Are you amnesiac?!"
"I didn't mean that! It's just the week before our fight and the fight itself that I don't remember clearly, everything else is fine. Don't worry, second brother~ I'm fine~"
"You--" Second brother seemed to have black lines on his face. He covered his face with his hands and let out a sigh.
"What are you acting all coquettish for? You didn't used to be like that... I almost thought you had facial paralysis before, you know, the change is too drastic for me to adapt..."
I pouted with my handsome lips.
"After almost dying, I stopped caring about a lot of things, brother. Don't you like this version of me?" I said while blinking my brown eyes at him.
He held my gaze for a couple of seconds and finally gave in.
"Like, absolutely like. Who dare to dislike? I'll kick them out of the kingdom!" He said while patting my head.
"Just..." He continued,"Just don't act like that in front of outsiders, what if someone starts to have malicious intentions seeing your cute side?!"
He gave a very justifiable reason, but I call bullshit.
I squinted at him.
"Do you really mean that or do you think I'll embarrass our family name by acting this way?"
"I--"
"I would think twice before answering, brother."
"Sigh... I just think people will think that you're weak if you act... feminine."
Hmmm... Sounds plausible, since I really am weak...(─.─||）
But that has nothing to do with being feminine! I really am a female, ahh how can I not act feminine?!
Forget it, I'm a man now...
"Second brother, are you saying I should act all macho? I don't want to..."
"No need to act like anything. Just keep your facial paralysis like before. The less words spoken the less mistakes made. This is a world where the strong walks all over the weak, I don't want anyone to find any openings, ok?"
"... Fine. But I'm not happy about it!"
"If you're not happy, find some ways to defend yourself and get stronger. Then you can be as happy as you want."
