Saved by Crazy Stepfather! - Chapter 86-2
His eyes and face were so familiar. It was the same empty expression I always made after losing my mother.
“It was then that things got weird. Not the ones who always protected us, but the others brought my dead mother and I out of there. After that…”
Before I knew it, my dad got up and held me in one hand before putting his hand on my brother’s head.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you existed. I gave you a hard time.”
My brother’s eyes, who had been pretending to be okay and fine all along, turned red.
No one could even breathe. I just looked at him. As if he were used to this, my brother quickly calmed down.
“It’s okay. It’s not like that. I didn’t mean for you to comfort me. At least my sister… I just said it because I thought she should know about my mother’s death…”
“But you grew up bravely.”
“Even so… I can’t say anything. There are… I said it because it came to mind after she touched me earlier. I can’t tell you what happened to me.”
As if he didn’t hate the touch of his hair being touched, he accepted it and opened his eyes.
“…It looks like there’s a curse on me.”
I thought everything was going well. Now we could find the person who locked him up and the one who brought him here so we can know who’s been bothering Dad and us. I thought so. But there’s always another wall blocking us.
“…”
My brother, who had been mumbling for a long time at my dad’s question, only nodded his head heavily.
It was then when my father, who had been keeping his composure until now, got excited.
“How dare they put a curse on my child for no one else.”
Dad was so angry that the floor shook. However, my twin shook his head as if he was very dissatisfied with it.
“Don’t pretend to be my dad now. I’m not even going to call you ‘dad’.”
“But the fact that I’m a dad hasn’t changed…”
“I never admitted it.”
“Well yes.”
“But…”
It was then when my twin’s eyes, who had been giving off a sharp energy until just now, changed.
“What?”
“My sister… took good care of me. I liked it a bit.”
My brother, who calmed the thorns that sprouted for a short time, looked at me with a grin.
“I’ll take good care of you too.”
“Okay, but I don’t like that.”
At the same time, my brother’s eyes stared at my dad. There was no way I didn’t know that look.
“Just do it even if you don’t like it! Take everything my dad does for me! That’s how you’ve lived so you can do that! I can do that too!”
I hoped someone would say this. Just like my twin, he raised his lips. With a silly smile, he tried to hold back his laughter.
“I can’t help it when my sister says that. Fine, then Dad. No. What are you going to do for me?”
After a moment’s hesitation, my dad smiled and nodded.
“Allen, you guide him. If you say you’re a special guest, everyone will know.”
“Don’t worry. A guy who looks just like Bebe is also my brother.”
“Okay.”
“…If I make you sad, Bebe will be sad too, right?”
The first question was directed to my dad and the second to me. I shook my head at Allen, who was a wreck.
“Yes! I’ll be sad. You have to be nice to him. You have to take good care of him and treat him like me.”
“…Tch. I don’t like it, but I get it. You, follow me.”
“Isn’t my sister coming with me?”
My twin, who looked at Allen and I alternately, had a very troubled expression on his face.
“Yes! I’m coming later. I need to talk to my dad. You can go ahead because you’re brave, right?”
My brother, who mumbled, finally said he had no choice and headed towards the door.
“I’m always brave. It’s not because it’s Bebe. I mean… I’m out!”
Then he coolly went out the door. Of course, my brother hesitated a bit and his voice trembled, but now I was more worried about my dad than my twin.
I turned to my dad, who pretended to be fine and told a good lie in front of us.
“Bebe, don’t worry. I’m going to…”
Even now, he stretched his cheeks, pretending to be fine.
“Don’t pretend to be fine. It’s not okay… I know. I know. You can be sad too. Adults can also be sad.”
