Chapter 148: 148-The Angry And Unpredictable Stepbrothers

"Fine." He was so quick to give up tonight, confirming my suspicions. He really wanted me to be the reason he stopped pursuing me.

"I think by the time we wait, we'll be free. Then, once you've figured out whatever you want from your life, I'll ask you that question again. Until then, we're both free."

I frowned at his choice of words.

What was he even trying to say?

"Huh?" I raised my head, watching him closely, waiting for him to explain himself.

"You don't even want to say that you'll accept me in the future. And what future? When? I know nothing. So by the time you're ready to accept me, I'll wait, but I won't—" He abruptly stopped, gulping hard.

So I helped him finish his sentence. "You won't stay single?" I let out a laugh and shook my head at myself.

I mean, he wasn't wrong.

He had every right to date whoever he wanted. It's not like I'd ever told him I liked him or that I would accept him.
