Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 116

“Why are you sleeping there? Sleep on the bed. You’re still weak.” Randell said, pointing at the single bed in their room.

They finally reached home, and Nida immediately locked herself in her bedroom while he and Ranz were not talking to each other after they argued in the car.

He eats dinner alone because Ranz refused to accompany him, and when he entered their room, Ranz had already placed the mattress on the floor and was lying with a blanket covering him.

“Hey! Are you listening?” He lightly kicked Ranz’s bottom so that he could move to the bed.

“Don’t bother me! I’ll sleep here!”

“Like I said, it’s more comfortable to sleep in bed. I’ll sleep there!” Randell tried to pull the blanket away.

“I don’t want to! I won’t take your place!”

Randell let go of the blanket and he lay on the bed.

“Fine! Don’t blame me if you feel sick!” He shouted and covered himself with a blanket, but he didn’t close his eyes to sleep.

His chest felt so heavy that he felt like he was choking even though he was breathing fine.

It’s their second time having a fight. The first time was when he was caught posing as Ranz, taking his girlfriend, and now they are fighting over something that he can’t point out what sparked it to begin with.

Under the cover, he inhales and exhales repeatedly to calm himself. He thought that maybe he was just being swept by his own emotions and being mean for nothing.

He starts to rethink why he was angry to begin with.

“Why am I being mean to Ranz?” He paused once he thought about why he was so aggravated and the image of Ranz and Nida hugging each other popped into his mind.

“Am I being jealous?” he asked himself. He hit himself for being mean, just because he was jealous.

He knows that, from the start, Nida was never his.

Ranz was Nida’s girlfriend. He was just a mere third wheel.

He thought he was fine with sharing everything with Ranz, but after witnessing it right in front of him, he began to act harshly, and the realization that Nida was never truly his, hurt his heart.

“But, I hurt him too.” Randell sat up and looked at Ranz’s back.

“He is suffering more now than me. Ranz had to start from zero and is still adjusting to his new body. How am I so mean? I vent my frustration to him, but he is suffering more than me.”

Randell reflected.

He knows better than anyone else how bad Ranz’s situation is.

He knows that his brother is physically and mentally exhausted.

Pak!

He hit his head hard to think straight again, but the sound of hitting himself made Ranz sit up from lying.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Ranz frowned while looking at him.

“Ah, I was just… I was mean, I was wrong. Sorry.” Randell said, in a low, soft, indistinct voice.

“What?” Ranz leaned his head forward because he couldn’t understand what Randell was murmuring.

“I said I’m sorry!” Randell shouted, which made Ranz jump into him and cover his mouth.

“Quite down! Do you want to be kicked out for real!” he pinched Randell’s mouth shut.

Money is not the problem, because they can afford to stay anywhere, but Nida’s protection is something they need.

Ranz feels ridiculous for depending on others for their safety, but there is no one who could protect them other than Nida.

“Swoweeh!”

He let go of Randell’s mouth and sat beside him on the single bed.

“What are you sorry for?” Ranz asked, crossing his arms.

It was infuriating for him that he was helpless and weak these days, but that didn’t change the fact that he was still the brother that had been taking care of Randell ever since he was born. He knows how Randell feels and understands his behavior. He knows that he is acting mean because Randell was jealous, but asked him to, because talking to each other would make their relationship better.

“I was so jealous after seeing you hug Nida that I became mean to you.” Randell said while he avoided Ranz’s gaze. “I was wrong about leaving my phone, and it’s not your fault that things got messy. I was jealous.” Randell admitted.

He was looking down when he saw Ranz tapping his lap.

“Hmm?” he looked up. He draws back because Ranz has a sinister smile.

“Randell, bite this for a second.”

“W-why are you?” He pushed the hand towel that Ranz had given him. It was the hand towel he used to dry his hair. “Why would I bite that?”

“Just bite it.” Ranz insisted, and his eyes smiled, forming a crescent shape.

Randell thought how random Ranz wanted him to do it, and he just swallowed his own saliva before taking the hand towel to bite.

“Whaw nhaw?” he asked while he had the towel on his mouth.

Pak!

“What the f –.” He spit out the hand towel. It was only later that he realized that was meant to be his gag.

“Shss! Don’t be too loud!” Ranz grabs Randell’s mouth as if he didn’t punch his brother hard.

“Why punch me, bastard!” Randell angrily said, while trying to keep his voice low. He holds his cheek that is throbbing from being punched.

“The only great thing we had after being separated is that now I can punch you!” Ranz said while he sat on top of Randell and raised one of his arms to throw another punch at Randell.

“Did you go crazy?” Randell catches his brother’s fists and kicks Ranz off him.

“I’ve always been crazy!”

They stop caring about the noise they make and punch and kick each other. They wrestled around the room, bumping each other into their luggage, which made their room even messier.

“Stop dreaming. None of us, Nida, will love. Not anymore!”

“I know that! We almost killed her right!”

“Don’t be a fucking idiot!”

“Who’s more stupid? You are a mess!”

“I am not the only one in a mess here!”

“Fuck you!”

“Fuck you too!”

The two throw words with their punches, but with every word spit out, the more they feel better.

HAHAHA

The two laugh loudly together after they get tired of punching each other and saying hateful comments to one another.

“You look fucking ugly!” Ranz pointed at Randell’s face, which was all swollen from the punch.

“How the hell do all my punches never land in your face?” Randell grumbled, slapping the hand that was pointing at him. Ranz’s face was fine, but his arms and body had bruises and scratches.

“My face is my treasure.” Ranz said proudly.

“Ha! I cannot disagree. That face is handsome.”

“Wow, how shameless. We have the same face. Are you saying yours is handsome as well?”

“Of course! How dare you make this all swollen up!”

They joke around and laugh loudly again.

They didn’t really talk properly about their fight, but this is their way of making up. The brothers need to use their bodies to understand each other.

“Are you done playing?”

Ranz and Randell freeze and try their best not to look at the person who suddenly appeared in their room.

“What? Why did you two suddenly go silent? You were loud just a while ago.” Nida’s footsteps, slowly approaching them, made them anxiously look up to her, and they subconsciously hugged each other, cowering.

“They looked like two puppies. But these two are too huge for puppies.”

She grins internally, looking at the two shaking with her presence, then he crouches down in front of them.

With a serious expression, she asked, “When can I sleep in peace?”

“We are sorry.” They apologized after changing their position to kneeling.

“What are the two of you fighting about?” She was curious about why the two were fighting so intensely that they ended up hurting each other. At the same time, she wanted to know how they ended up making up soon after.

“Is this how siblings fight?” she thought.

She is curious.

She doesn’t know about siblings because she doesn’t have one.

“Aren’t you going to tell me? You also argued when we are at the car. What happened?” She asked again because the two were just kneeling silently.

“Fine. Whatever.” She gave up after the two remained silent.

She then lay on the messy mattress and used her dust to levitate the two kneeling.

Nida was comfortable laying on the bedding and pillows that were not properly fixed to the mattress, and carelessly lay there while watching the two float above her.

“N-nida.” They nervously thought that Nida would be punishing them now, but they landed beside her.

The three are lying together, with Nida in between.

“If I leave you two, you might make noise again.” Nida said, while her eyes were closed. “So behave and sleep.”

“B-but.”

“Sleep.”

“Okay.”

The two stiffened and couldn’t sleep knowing Nida was in between them.

“Stop staring at me and sleep, motherfuckers.”

Nida’s curse made them hurriedly close their eyes and force themselves to sleep.
