The Traps of the Black Swan

'Angry man.' He didn't find his new nickname repulsive.

He was alone with her in the bedroom so fear is common. His lips arced slyly leaving her hand as he asked, walking towards her, "Fearing?"

He was expecting her to fear him and run away from there but Tia narrowed her eyes at her arm as she closely examined in her unclear gaze.

She pointed where had held and screamed at him, "See, see, you hurt me." Then she gently blew her arm as though there was a stinging wound.

Mino's brows were twitching uncontrollably. Her skin hadn't even turned red by his hold and he couldn't find an ounce of fear staying in the same room as him.

Was she trusting him so much? He wasn't sure yet.

If he lets her play, it will be three o'clock soon so he scooped her up in his arms and she again screamed, "Don't throw me down, you angry man, let me down."

Mino felt his ear hurt by her screams. Unthinkingly he felt her sober state is cute. He laid her on the bed carefully and asked, "Did it hurt now?"

Tia shook her head liking the soft mattress. She grabbed herself a few pillows and sat up to pull the duvet on her. She again laid down before looking at wonderstruck Mino.

She sweetly asked, "May I sleep here?... Please."

Mino felt his hair raise due to her screams replaced with a saccharine tone. He felt himself going crazy if he stayed with her.

Hearing no response, she again asked, coating her tone with more honey and her head tilted, "Please..."

Mino almost choked on his spit and responded quickly, "Sure, sure... Sleep." He really wanted to know if she was so easy to fool in a drunken state that she got on the bed to sleep without any guard up.

He was sighing to himself when Tia tried to shoo him and her sweet voice changed to indifference, "Okay, go-go, let me rest."

Mino's brow raised and his lopsided smirk looked dangerous, "I guess, you are mistaken. You. Are. In. My bedroom. You are sleeping with ME."

Tia blinked repeatedly while looking at him walk around to the other end of the bed and he kept his mobile on the bedside table before he sat on the bed.

"You pervert angry man... Get off my bed." She screamed again wrapping the whole duvet around her and stood at the edge of the bed.

Mino: "..."

Tia saw him still sitting so she continued to yell at him afraid he was going to take advantage of her, "You stinking angry man, don't you have manners? Get out of my room... You black-hearted monster, don't you dare touch me, I know martial arts and kill..."

Mino found her behavior funny but didn't like her screaming so loud. He has to thank the regency owner for keeping each villa far from each other else he would be behind bars by this time.

He was also glad she pulled her guard up knowing he was sleeping in the same room. While she screamed, he wished her plainly, "Good night."

He laid down without the need of a duvet, he turned off the main light and turned on dim lights if in case she needed it. Placing his forearm on his forehead, he tried to catch some sleep but the thought of her staring at him kept him awake.

Tia watched Mino silently lying on the bed. She stopped screaming, discerning he won't do anything to her but was afraid he might be acting. Now he wasn't Mino or an angry man to her but just a man who she shouldn't sleep on the same bed.

Imagining he might attack her if she moved, she froze on the bed for a long time as her drowsiness slowly overtook her.

She felt her legs weak and sat down repeating herself she shouldn't sleep, 'No sleep... No sleep... No sleep..." She chanted groggily until her drowsiness overtook and she laid on the bed curled up into a ball.
