Chapter 9 - One condition

Kira's forced laughter caused Zeri to simply blink at him. She was very serious about her offer. This man before her was obviously rich and she didn't have a penny to bribe him with. Her apology obviously wasn't enough for him so this was the best solution she could think of.

But it seemed like he was not pleased at all with that idea! He was laughing but it was obviously forced. Looking at him, Zeri was wondering why this breathing sculpture was faking his expressions like this. At the same time, she was in a great dilemma since he seemed to really dislike her suggestion.

"You… are you kidding me?" he finally stopped laughing and his gaze turned sharp. He looked like he was extremely annoyed.

"I… I'm not. I'm serious. You said my apology was not enough but I don't have anything else to offer. I don't even have money to bribe you. That's why I thought this was the best solution. If you do to me what I did to you, then we'll be even, no?" As she explained, Kira finally snapped and he suddenly raised his hands. His hands then fell on the girl's cheeks and he pinched her hard.

"You! Are you out of your mind?!!! What kind of brain do you actually have, huh?!" Kira exclaimed. He was completely thrown off. He never thought that this talk would end up like this. How could a girl ask a man like him to do something like that so seriously? Is this girl even normal?!

Looking surprised with Kira's sudden outburst, Zeri's eyes circled as she looked at him. She was still asking herself why she was not afraid of this particular person who looked like a perfectly crafted android. Even now that he seemed to be so annoyed at her that he was even pinching her hard, she still didn't even feel a tiny tinge of fear from him. Why?

"I'm so sorry. I just couldn't think of any other solution but this. Also, please let go of my face. That could be considered as you bullying me." Zeri said and Kira finally realized that he was actually pinching the squirrel's cheeks pretty hard. He was so annoyed that he acted without thinking so the moment she spoke, Kira was stunned for a moment before he slowly let go of her cheeks. Damn, this uns.e.xy creature… calm down Kira, if this goes on like this, this squirrel might turn you into someone who is idiotically impulsive!

After secretly breathing deeply to calm himself, Kira moved again. Zeri was already standing near the wall so Kira found this opportunity to trap her in a kabe-don.

Thus, without wasting any more time, Kira slammed his palms on the wall, trapping Zeri between his long arms. He moved his face closer to hers. This move was no doubt one of the legendary over used tricks to make a girl's heart flutter like crazy, especially when it was done by the hottest man on campus; someone like him.

However, again, Zeri's reaction was far too weak from what he expected, no, it was not even considered weak. The reaction was actually beyond negative as the girl only blinked three times and her gaze turned into a questioning look. She even tilted her head slightly and the only thing that was missing was a huge visible question mark on her head. Looking at her expression, Kira's hard work to make this scene at least turn into something romantic, dramatically failed. For some reason, he couldn't switch on the invisible button of romance when it came to her. It was as if he was trying so hard to light a candle but a certain annoying squirrel was teasing him by blowing off the fire again and again.

Ahhh… this girl is driving me crazy!! Grandpa!!!! What planet did this girl came from?!!! Answer me!!

Kira didn't hide his real expression anymore. Somehow, he suddenly felt jaded. It was as if this squirrel sucked all his energy away.

"I am not stupid enough to agree with your stupid suggestion." He said in a serious look and Zeri bit her lip.

"T-then, wh-what do you want me to do for you to forgive me? Please forgive me, I won't do this again, I promise. If the school found out about this they will kick me out. I'll do anything you want, so please forgive me." Zeri's hands were clasped together in front of her as she begged. Kira already investigated her background. He knew she wasn't rich and she was in this luxurious school because of her scholarship. He knew that once the school found out about this, she would be treated without any consideration. This was why he understood the reason why this squirrel was begging him like this.

"You will do anything I want?" Kira's eyes narrowed. He was actually smiling mischievously on the inside when he heard her say these words. Well, who would have thought that that coincidental accident would be so helpful? Kira didn't plan to use this to blackmail her but this method would save them both time and energy. He needed to find out why his grandfather chose her. He was also doing this so this girl would find out about her being betrothed to him, as soon as possible. Grandpa, it seems like my task of bringing this creature home will be over quite soon and much earlier than planned. You better prepare an explanation now especially for her since you forbade me to tell her anything…

Kira leaned in closer to her ear as he whispered s.e.xily, making sure that his breath caressed her skin. "Are you really sure?"

"Yes, as long as you promise that you'll destroy the video and forgive me, I will do anything. I can run errands for you. You don't have to worry about my pace because I'm the fastest runner in this city. I might even be the best climber in this region. I am also quite strong and hardworking. I-"

Zeri's fast paced statements were stopped because Kira suddenly flicked her forehead. God, this girl is hopeless! I didn't know that a girl like this existed in this world… Are you applying for a sporting career right now?!

After letting go of another deep sigh, Kira's gaze turned serious once again. "Listen, I will destroy this video and forgive you in one condition… be my girlfriend."
