บท 71: New Arrangements

"Pfft…" Theo, watching the whole scene, finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"S-sorry! Excuse me!" Leonide, snapping out of his daze, quickly stammered, darting out of the room with a loud slam of the door.

He must've been really flustered.

"Hahaha! Oh, Damien, what are you doing?" Theo was now laughing uncontrollably, something Damien had never seen before.

"I really messed up…" Damien muttered, cringing.

"Oh, Leonide's face was priceless… Ah, that was hilarious. I never thought I'd see you do something like that!" Theo said, still catching his breath from laughing so hard.

"I just thought he was trying really hard and doing a good job, so I… kinda… you know…" Damien said, trying to explain. The way Leonide had gone from flustered to calm made him think of his younger brother, and before he knew it, he'd wanted to praise him like he used to.
