Please. I'm not that short-dwarfs-midget creature, you petite woman.

Yeah. As you readers know, she's my woman. And a little argument before I left her. Perhaps after the spar broke between the joi people and the amanto we had this evening and having a drink with those people after the war, I ended up passed out not far from her parent's clinic.

Until she lifted me up aiding me, I felt a joint crack on my right ankle, both of us gave a look to each other before a disappointing gaze upon her face.

That was one of the most embarrassing moments I had after that awkward silence when her parents accidentally saw us having a make out season behind the alley. We then declared both of us going out since that. Gladly, her parents approve of us.

I rest my case here.

We kinda.. creating a fake scene so that her parents doesn’t worry much about me. It's not like I care about the real incident but she insisted. Well… I don’t want to make another argument anymore.

"I see. Well, you're not really in a good condition and I'm okay if you want to sleep over here for one night. More people, more merrier, right dear?"

"Yes, I agree! It's already late at night and you might get lost when you try to go back and we are afraid some unknown assailants from joi will attack you while your leg is broken."

"Definitely true! Plus with the current break out happening out there with those amanto, there might be another attack coming from them. It's okay…. What's your name again?"

I saw [Name] who saved me earlier facepalm herself with her father's.

"... Shin." Age's problem I can conclude that, they forget their daughter’s partner's name.

"Shin! Oh, I forgot your name sound almost like my son, Shun. I apologize first before I mistaken your name with him, Shun."

And you already made the first attempt, Kubota-san.

"Yeah! You can stay over for a night and sleep in Shin's room. [Name] dear, can you do a favor to prepare his room in your brother's? Oh wait! Maybe you can spend your night in [Name's] room so it's easy for her to look after you."

While the wife occasionally mistaken his son's name with mine naturally.

Along with that hidden agenda behind her wicked smile indicates something that I synchronously fast catch what it means.

"Mom, Dad. It's Shin. Shun is your son's. Yeah, he’s gonna sleep in my room tonight. Too lazy to walk to his room only to bring a yakulko to him." she replied after sighing face-palming herself. I just scratched my back neck.

Perhaps she wouldn't be mad at me anymore if she didn’t reject her mom’s suggestion. I steal a glance at her.

I admit I am never not amused with her daring parents she owns. A tiny weird feeling crowded at the pit of my stomach. I don’t really know what it was, it's always like that every time I was with their parents, watching their scene ahead of me. My lips tugged upward, twitching trying to hold my chuckles looking to the warming scenery I used to see.

She owns something that I don't.

Jealousy? Well…. You can say that.

"You two continue with the talk. We gonna go to bed first. Goodnight Shu–"

"Shin." She and I both corrected the mother’s calling my name. She giggles, waving her hand, pushing the Father away from the kitchen.
