Chapter 25

"Seok-gwi, talk to the CEO. Come down and live with me." This was the text message that Moon Seok-gwi received from Lee Seok-gwi.

Lee Seok-gwi was stunned for a moment, then dialed Moon Seok-gwi's number with a trembling hand. After a short while, the call was answered, and Lee Seok-gwi spoke coldly, "Moon Seok-gwi! Dare you repeat what you just said?"

There was silence on the other end for a moment, then Moon Seok-gwi's puzzled voice came through, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry? I just asked you to come down and live with me."

Lee Seok-gwi gritted her teeth and abruptly hung up the call, then rushed out the door. Moon Seok-gwi, who was looking at his phone in confusion, heard footsteps outside the door, followed by heavy knocking.

Moon Seok-gwi went to open the door, and Lee Seok-gwi's small body immediately lunged at him. Moon Seok-gwi quickly caught her, but he also became serious. Because at that moment, Lee Seok-gwi's anger was not a joke; she really wanted to hit him.

"What's gotten into you... If you keep moving around, I'll hit back!" He firmly held Lee Seok-gwi's body to stop her from moving. Lee Seok-gwi glared at him and suddenly bit down on his arm.

A muffled groan was heard, and Lee Seok-gui vented all her anger and the force of her bite. She only came to her senses when she tasted the salty flavor in her mouth.

She released her bite and looked at Moon Seok-gwi's arm, which was already red through his clothes. She touched her own mouth and found blood on her lips.

With a soft cry, Lee Seok-gwi quickly stepped back and looked up to see Moon Seok-gwi, who was looking at her calmly, "Feeling better?"

Lee Seok-gwi wanted to step forward to check, but she suddenly remembered the reason for biting him and did not respond.

Moon Seok-gwi turned his head and used his finger to wipe the blood on his clothes, looking at Lee Seok-gwi with narrowed eyes, "Feeling better? Then scram."

Lee Seok-gwi lowered her head and did not move. After a moment, sobs could be heard.

Moon Seok-gwi was taken aback and frowned as he stepped forward, "Are you upset because I didn't bleed enough? Want to bite me again?"

Lee Seok-gwi looked up, tears streaming down her face, "You... You bastard... Rich kids are so great... Sniff, I... I'm still... the CEO's daughter... Sniff... Always being sarcastic and making me angry? You... You... even... hit me... Sniff. I... I didn't even... tell... my dad... You... You bastard... Moon... Moon Seok-gwi... You bastard... Sniff."

Moon Seok-gwi's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Lee Seok-gwi. After a moment, he approached her, somewhat at a loss, "I said, do you have to be like this? You're nine months older than me... Okay, I'm wrong, it's all my fault. I'm a jerk, I'm low, I... " He handed her a tissue, but Lee Seok-gwi cried even harder and did not take it.

Moon Seok-gwi nodded and pulled out a tissue, "See, we really match, don't we? I'm irresistibly cute, and you're shamelessly affectionate... Do you really want me to help you wipe it?"

Lee Seok-gwi slapped the tissue away and sniffled, glaring at him, "You... You're the shameless one. Sniff... You... You even dare to make me angry."

Moon Seok-gwi nodded quickly, "I won't, I won't. It's my fault... How about you hit me a few times to vent?"

Lee Seok-gwi grabbed the tissue and wiped her tears, sobbing, "You... You even dared to tell me to scram... Sniff."

Moon Seok-gwi smiled and nodded, then knelt down and suddenly rolled forward, "Then I'll roll. See, am I rolling now? A few more rolls and the floor will be clean."

Moon Seok-gwi rolled around on the floor, and Lee Seok-gwi pouted, muttering something, but her tears indeed lessened.

Suddenly, she noticed that Moon Seok-gwi seemed to be avoiding the bloodstain on his arm with each roll. Looking at the tissue in her hand, she suddenly remembered something, "Hey! Stop rolling!"

Moon Seok-gwi lay on the ground, smiling, "Are you satisfied now? Not crying anymore?"

Lee Seok-gwi turned her head away, pouting and turning her back to him.

Moon Seok-gwi then stood up, sat back on the sofa, and sighed. He instinctively covered his left arm, which had just been bitten by Lee Seok-gwi.

Lee Seok-gwi's voice was hoarse as she pouted and approached with a tissue, "Hey. Let me see."

Moon Seok-gwi looked at the bloodstain on his arm, frowned, and swatted her hand away, "You finally remembered. Now what? It's my turn to cry, right? Go on, roll on the floor a few times to cheer me up, quickly!"

Lee Seok-gwi raised her hand and, impatiently, pulled up the sleeve of his pajamas, "Let me see quickly, or the blood will dry and stick to your clothes, and it will hurt when you pull it off. I warned you."

Moon Seok-gwi was taken aback and looked at Lee Seok-gwi, who was already helping him roll up his sleeve, "You're quite experienced, aren't you? Have you bitten a lot of people? I'm not the first, right?"

Lee Seok-gwi glared at him, "You deserve it! You always make me angry and speak sarcastically to me. Now you even... dare to molest me!"

Moon Seok-gwi opened his mouth to speak but was choked by Lee Seok-gwi's words, suddenly coughing violently.

Lee Seok-gwi instinctively patted his back, and Moon Seok-gwi laughed and waved his hand, "Haha. You... You really think I molested you! I said... Do you even know what that means? You're just a kid."

Lee Seok-gwi bared her teeth and pushed him away, "What did you mean by that text? You actually dared to suggest I live with you! Are you a pervert, low, and disgusting..."

Lee Seok-gwi suddenly scratched her head, "Strange? Just for saying that, I should have bitten you to death. Why does it feel like I did something wrong now?"

Moon Seok-gwi smiled lightly, "Lee Seok-gwi. How about we make a bet? In five minutes, you'll definitely apologize to me."

Lee Seok-gwi was taken aback, laughed, and shook her head, "Moon family. Are you crazy from being bitten? How dare you make such a bet?"

Moon Seok-gwi nodded, "I am indeed crazy from being bitten... You bite me, and I go crazy."

Lee Seok-gwi raised her hand to hit him, and Moon Seok-gwi pointed at her hand, "Hey. Oppa can throw you out the window with one hand and one foot. Don't really push me to the limit."

Lee Seok-gui glared at him, "Why do you always curse me? And make me angry!"

Pausing for a moment, Lee Seok-gwi's face turned cold, "Who were you saying 'Hey' to just now? And calling yourself 'Oppa'?"

Moon Seok-gwi laughed helplessly, "You can say 'Hey' to me, but I can't say it to you? When you call me, I enjoy it like a cat basking in the sun, but when I call myself, it's inappropriate?"

Lee Seok-gwi hummed a tune and fiddled with her fingers, pretending not to hear. After a moment, she suddenly narrowed her eyes at him, "Moon Seok-gwi, I solemnly warn you, don't joke with me like this in the future. You'll not only make me bite you again but also make me question your character. Although you don't have much left with me."

Moon Seok-gwi was about to speak, but Lee Seok-gwi waved her hand to stop him, "You can't make me question your upbringing, can you? Aren't you from a wealthy family? How can you be so... so..."

"So handsome, so gentlemanly, and so captivating, right?" Moon Seok-gwi's gentle and sunny smile reappeared as he finished Lee Seok-gwi's sentence.

"Bullshit!" Lee Seok-gwi blurted out, then quickly covered her mouth. She then slapped her cheeks with a regretful look, "A lady shouldn't swear, be careful, be careful."

Moon Seok-gwi couldn't help but narrow his eyes and smile, "A lady, haha. You..."

Seeing Lee Seok-gwi glare again, Moon Seok-gwi shook his head, "You don't even listen to my explanation. Yes, I'm a jerk, and I like to be sarcastic and speak harshly. But isn't that all a sign of affection?"

Slowly, Moon Seok-gwi's smile faded, and he looked at Lee Seok-gwi intently, "Growing up, you are the only person I truly consider a close friend. Despite the short time, less than two months, in the company and even in my entire thirteen years of life, you are the first person, besides my family, with whom I can completely let my guard down and be myself."

Lee Seok-gwi looked at Moon Seok-gwi in a daze, "You..."

Moon Seok-gwi pondered for a moment, then suddenly bowed, "I'm sorry, Seok-gwi. I didn't realize my joke would upset you so much. I promise I won't do it again. Please forgive me, and I will appropriately keep my distance. I won't burden you anymore, please believe me."

Lee Seok-gwi was taken aback and quickly bowed in return, "No... No need. I... I didn't mean it that way..."

Moon Seok-gwi paused, then suddenly looked up curiously, "Strange, why does it always work? Who had the lower emotional intelligence back then? Being tamed by you is the greatest shame of my life... You're really something."

Lee Seok-gwi gasped, bit her lip, and looked at Moon Seok-gwi. Her fists clenched involuntarily. Moon Seok-gwi's gentle smile reappeared, and he looked directly at Lee Seok-gwi. A strange atmosphere swirled between them, sparking tension and danger.
