Chapter 6: They Met (3)
When does a person get more angry?
Is it when they get hit by a strong straight or when they are hit five or six times by annoying jabs?
"Definitely the annoying jabs," Hilsman said.
"That's right. I'd beat anyone that threw a strong straight at me, but I'd enjoy painfully tearing apart anyone that threw annoying jabs," Rasheel* viciously stated.
It is, of course, the latter.
Cale threw five jabs before he was hit. Which means, one jab should be okay.
"Can you throw even one jab with those puny arms of yours?" Kim Rok Soo* teased Cale.
"Yours aren't exactly any better," Cale retorted.
"At least mine will get stronger, all yours have done lately is get weaker," Kim Rok Soo* bantered back.
"Just because my previous body has muscles doesn't mean yours will get them. You are technically different people even if you are similar," Cale pointed out.
"Unlike some I know, Cale, I'm not so lazy that I won't put the effort in to get the muscles," Kim Rok Soo* countered.
Before Cale could respond, another similar yet different voice cut in.
"Boys, boys you're both pretty. Or in this case pretty weak," Kim Rok Soo quipped. "Now be nice to each other or does your hyung need to separate the two of you?"
"Hyung? Since when are you my hyung?" Cale asked.
"Oh, come on now Cale, our parents already told you that they have four children. That makes me your hyung and if I'm your hyung, that makes me little Rok Soo's* hyung as well," Kim Rok Soo explained.
"I suppose that sort of makes sense," Kim Rok Soo* begrudgingly admitted.
"Ah, can't forget the youngest of our little bunch of troublemakers, can we? Oi, Cale*, you got anything to say to your hyungs?" Kim Rok Soo called to Cale*.
"Hey, don't drag me into this. For once I am actually behaving myself," Cale* pointed out.
"Sibling squabbles are completely normal, so since you are done with your trash act, joining in with picking on your brothers is definitely something you should do," Lee Soo Hyuk* suggested.
"In that case, it seems like Cale and Rok Soo* are both wimpy and throwing even a single jab would probably break their twig-like arms," Cale* said with a cheeky grin.
"Hahaha, see that's the way to do it. Always listen to your hyung," Kim Rok Soo praised.
"Not sure I should be listening to a muscle brained old man either," came Cale's even cheekier retort.
"Gasp!! Cale* you wound me. I thought I was your favorite," Kim Rok Soo playfully said.
"Nah, my favorite brother is Basen*," Cale* said with a smile.
Basen* felt warmth fill his chest at being included in the brotherly banter.
"Cale* hyung is my favorite too," Basen* said with pride.
"I agree with Cale*. Basen and Lily are way better siblings than you brats," Cale declared.
Basen and Lily practically glowed at that statement.
"Orabuni, we love you too. We love all of you," Lily said.
"Lily's right. We love you all," Basen repeated.
