Brother 3•~
Ederic's mom
I'm sorry for being a third wheel in your life, Mrs Alit. I didn't do it intentionally
Ederic's mom bowed and apologized, feeling her chest tighten. Her breathing grew uneven, and she tried to conceal her pale face by bowing before Mrs Alit.
Mrs Alit
No need to bow. And please, don't be formal... you can call me sister from now on
Mrs Alit offered, her gaze filled with genuine sympathy for the lonely woman standing before her. She appeared so young, too young to raise a child alone at her age.
Perhaps her forgiving nature was because she possessed a tender heart that could pardon everyone.
Mrs Alit
Ederic, go and play with your big brother. Your mom and I need to have a conversation
Mrs. Alit guided him toward the stairs, giving him a go upstairs. The young boy happily nodded and walked toward the staircase, excited about the prospect of playing with his newfound older brother.
Ederic made his way to the first floor, where he noticed two women casting an admiring gaze at the child.
Excitement surged through him as he longed to spend some time alone with Aaron.
With just one look, he had already fallen for Aaron's captivating dimpled smile, though the little one remained unaware of what was about to unfold.
However, Ederic's infatuation with Aaron's charming smile was about to turn into a heartbreaking disappointment.
Mrs. Alit and Ederic's mother exited the hall, and Mrs. Alit escorted Ederic's mother to her room.
The situation felt slightly awkward, but Ederic didn't want to exacerbate it further.
Ederic stood outside the room for five minutes, hesitating to knock on the door.
Earlier, he had overheard Aaron shouting at his father and storming off to his room in anger. The more Ederic contemplated, the more his heart fluttered.
He called out, but there was no response from within. Prior to arriving at this mansion-like house, Mr. Alit had already provided Ederic with some information about Aaron—a short-tempered boy with a warm heart.
That was all Ederic knew about Aaron—his name, age, and personality.
However, Aaron's recent behaviour was different from what Ederic had anticipated.
Ederic knocked on the door again, but once more, there was no reply. Slowly, he turned the doorknob and cautiously entered the room, only to find Aaron nowhere in sight.
Eagerly, Ederic scanned the room. It was neatly arranged, adorned with a few posters of idols hanging on the walls and a handful of paintings adorning the bedside.
Everything tempted Ederic. Suddenly, his excitement was shattered by the sound of the bathroom door clicking shut.
Ederic Alit
Aaron, Hyung...
Ederic's face lit up with a boxy smile. He was thrilled to see Aaron, but Aaron seemed indifferent toward Ederic. It hurt Ederic, but he managed to maintain a smile.
Aaron Alit
What are you doing here? Who allowed you to come to my room?
Aaron snapped annoyedly. He paid no attention to Ederic standing before him, even though Aaron was a few centimetres shorter.
Ederic looked up, feeling Aaron's presence looming dangerously close.
