Prince's Spell

Constant Bickering

Ch-27

With a playful smirk, Amelia walked up to Jin, mischief glinting in her eyes. "Good morning, Princey," she greeted, her voice dripping with sarcasm. He rolled his eyes, "What do you want?" he asked, annoyed. She pouted, "I greeted you, you should greet back" Jin let out an exaggerated sigh, not surprised by her antics. "Fine. Good morning, Princess," he said, his voice dripping with feigned sweetness.

Amelia grinned, clearly pleased with his response. "See, that wasn't so hard now, was it?" She took a step closer to him, her eyes dancing with mischief. "I know you are here just to irritate me, let me tell you, it's not working" He said sarcastically, she laughed, "you are the worst liar ever" Jin couldn't help but smirk at her words. She was right; he was terrible at hiding his irritation with her. "You're as annoying as ever, you know that?" he retorted, a hint of amusement in his voice. She glared at him, "what did you say?" Jin raised an eyebrow, completely unfazed by her glare. "I said, you're as annoying as ever," he repeated, a hint of a smirk on his lips.

Amelia's glare intensified, clearly not amused by his nonchalance. "I'll show you annoying," she threatened, taking a step closer to him. He looked at her, "what are you doing?" Amelia smirked, her eyes glinting mischievously. "Oh, nothing. Just preparing to irritate you even more," she said, her voice dripping with mock innocence.

Jin raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical of her intentions. "And how do you plan to do that?" He sighed, "when will you grow up, huh?" Amelia let out a playful gasp, feigning shock. "Are you calling me immature, Your Highness?" she said, putting her hand over her chest in mock dismay. Jin rolled his eyes once again, clearly exasperated by her antics. "Yes, yes I am. You act like a child, pestering me at every chance you get."

"And what about you, huh? You are the oldest, yet you still fight with me" she raised her eyebrows at him. Jin let out a huff of frustration. "I only fight with you because you irritate me! You have a knack for getting under my skin," he retorted, his voice betraying a hint of annoyance. "Fine" she shrugs, "I won't irritate you anymore" As Amelia turned away to leave, a flicker of surprise crossed Jin's face. For a moment, he thought she was just playing another prank on him. But then, he found himself reaching out to stop her. "Wait, where are you going?" he asked, a mix of confusion and curiosity in his voice.

Amelia smirked but didn't let him know about her prank. "I am not talking to you anymore" she spoke, with sadness in her voice. Jin's eyes widened slightly as he heard the hint of sadness in her voice. He had expected her to respond with her usual sarcasm or smirk, but her tone caught him off guard. "What do you mean you're not talking to me anymore?" he asked, a touch of bewilderment in his voice. 

"What you heard was the truth.. now I won't talk or irritate you anymore" her voice sounded like she was going to cry. Jin's expression softened as he noticed her voice quivering slightly, as if she was holding back tears. He cursed himself silently for not seeing through her act. He took a step closer to her, a hint of concern in his eyes. "Amelia... don't be ridiculous. You can't just suddenly decide not to talk to me anymore," he said, his voice softer than before.

Amelia was shocked when his tone softened. She turned around and looked at him, "Are you really worried?" Jin's eyebrow quirked up in surprise at her question. "Worried? Why would I be worried?" he replied, trying to sound nonchalant. But deep down, he couldn't deny that there was a pang of concern in his chest. He didn't like the idea of her not talking to him anymore, even though he often acted like he couldn't stand her pestering. "Stop lying, Mr. liar" Jin let out a sigh, unable to keep up his facade. 

"Alright, fine. I might be a little bit worried," he admitted, averting his gaze slightly. "Happy now?" She nodded with an amusing expression. "Now why are you laughing?" he asked. Amelia stifled a laugh, her eyes glinting mischievously. "Oh, I'm just enjoying the fact that you actually admitted to being worried about me," she teased. "You might be catching feelings for me, Princey."
