Why Me?
Lesley
All right, I’m going to work
Lesley
It’s getting kinda late
Noé
Yes, I was going to go anyway
Lesley
That’s good, anyway don’t forget what I told you
Attending the usual council meetings with his father
It was a lot of work, and it’s draining since the officials grudges over the recent engagement
And now, Noé’s back from work
Thinking about going to bed immediately
He found Levin waiting patiently across the foyer, the entrance hall within their esteemed mansion
Levin
[slightly clench jaw]…Noé
Levin
I know it’s a lot to process but can you please… call me Levin from now on
Levin
…it’s fine, I know you’ve developed it a habit
Levin
I need to talk to you
The living room of the City Lord was refined and refreshing. It often has a touch of soothing blues within the house, the madame was indulged in the aesthetics, while keeping it minimalistic only containing necessary furnitures within the mansion
But the rooms of the children was their choice to fill in. Which is why Lesley’s room is a matte choice. Meanwhile, Noé’s room was more cozy with some warm led lights and soft furnitures, the kind that let you sink a bit as you sit
Now with that said, Levin and Noé is now awkwardly seated at the couch
Levin
Do you have any questions?
Levin
I can answer them for you
Levin
I… got a bit overwhelmed with my emotions
Levin
Still, I didn’t expect you to run away from your house for 2 days
Noé
[not sure what to say being faced with a drooping man, somewhat worried]
Noé
I was also…overwhelmed
Levin
I won’t do that anymore
Noé
How long was I meant to be engaged with you?
Levin
[can’t look at him in the eye]
Levin
[helpless on what to say]
Noé
It was just recently?!
Noé
I need an explanation [serious]
Levin
[flustered on what to say]
Levin
(Because I like you so much I caused a huge tantrum)
Levin
(And you’re just oblivious to everything…)
Levin is unable to spit it out
And ends up replying in a roundabout way
Levin
Don’t you already know the reason?
Noé
[look away] T, then why would you…
Levin
…I don’t like your sister
Noé
… [growing flustered] So you chose me?
Noé
[stunned](Wait why am I getting flustered?)
Levin
…Please don’t misunderstand, Noé
Noé
…I’m sorry for saying that, I didn’t know what I was thinking
Noé
…But I want to ask you something
Levin
I can’t explain it… [sincerely has no better words to describe it]
Noé
Is it because you like guys?
Levin
…I don’t think it’s like that [sounding serious]
Noé
Brother-in-law, all this time
Noé
I spent my time with you, I treated you as my brother
Noé
[realized he called him brother-in-law again]
Levin
It’s fine…[still a bit bothered but brush it aside]
Levin
So what you are saying is that, you like me but as a brother
Levin
[feeling a bit hopeless] Can I change that at all?
Noé
[close mouth being left with no words to say]
Levin
[clench his hand into a fist]
