Chapter 50
Mischievous girl
Hanna walks to the window, opens the curtains, and looks down. She immediately snaps fully awake from the shock, stunned by the huge crowd gathering around the dormitory. The narrow space forces a large number of people to stand out on the street.
Ignoring the curses from cars and motorcycles, the busybody association keeps rumbling—selling honeydew, trading cucumbers, and putting their heads together to gossip. They stand on tiptoe, stretch their tired necks high, and wait as if they're waiting for their lovers.
Curious people come to watch the excitement, crowding in just like the busybodies. Occupying the most advantageous positions are the vultures, intent on devouring the tasty bait. Camcorders and flycams hover in the air like dragonflies. Camera lenses flicker and flash, reflecting the morning sun. All kinds of modern "weapons" aim and wait to knock down the target. A glance catches the shadow of the pure flower looming by the window, revealing the wild and primitive nature of the herd:
- Hey Hanna, oh my god, she's even prettier than the rumors say!
- Pure is real!
- Hoang Kim is truly blessed!
- What a fate of enjoyment. He's hospitalized after a car accident, no one knows when he'll wake up, but he still has a pretty confidante to take care of him!
- Hey, don't draw the curtains, sister!
The herd loses interest and stares at the closed window curtains. The crowd outside the main door hears the commotion and shouts for Hanna to come out and communicate directly. Rose frowns and curses:
- Damn, this crowd of idle groins just loves to stir up trouble!
Rose exhales and turns to Hanna, looking at her bestie with wide, unblinking eyes. Just minutes ago, she was panicking, her face pale with fear as if she were drowning under a sea of people. She's more flustered than a chicken caught in a storm, afraid the cannibals might tear her apart.
Now, Hanna calmly packs up her study table, walks to the bathroom, brushes her teeth, and washes her face. Although she appears calm, a closer look reveals that she occasionally places her hand on her chest to tighten the pendant.
Ah, so the kind-hearted bestie still has to rely on the power of faith to lift her spirits. Rose nods and gets up from the bed, immediately hearing a notification on her phone. She picks up the smartphone from the desk and reads:
Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I've arrived!
Rose recognizes the sender of the message as the guy trapped in the yard. The so-called crazy fans are calling his name. She smiles slightly, comes up with a naughty idea, and sends a message:
Save me, brother, crazy fans are breaking into our room!
He panics and yells at anyone who gets in the way:
- Damn it, get out, get out of the way!
Every time this dog-blooded guy goes crazy, everyone fears losing their honey and avoids him more than leprosy. The whole herd, the entire crowd, moves aside to let him rush into the dormitory. Wherever he goes, there are more people standing and sitting than at a festival.
Before anyone has time to celebrate meeting the world superstar, the public figure is already fierce and cursing loudly. His purple face blazes with crimson flames. He yells at everyone to move, ready to break the neck of anyone who dares to block his way.
No one dares to bump into the guy who suddenly goes insane. All retreat to keep a safe distance. The closer Sam gets to the room, the more people gather. He shouts throughout the apartment building, drives away the swarming crowd, and quickly breaks through the door and rushes in:
- Which group of dogs dares to bite wildly...
Sam's jaw stiffens as he sees Rose taking off her pajamas. Her chest is too big, too tight. Her bra is like the safety catch of a time bomb, about to snap open. If the catch comes undone, the whole "atomic bomb" will blow his face to pieces. The fiery red streaks at the corner of his eyes instantly go out. His fierce appearance is no longer as furious as a machete.
That daily scene drives him crazy, and now it turns him into an idiot standing there dumbfounded. Rose hurriedly lowers her shirt and screams as if she's being sexually harassed by Sam:
- Breaking into a girl's room without knocking—what do you want to do?
Hanna hears the quarrel and runs out to see what's going on. She sees her best friend crossing her arms over her chest, stubbornly protecting her bust. Rose yells at Sam and drives away the people standing in the corridor:
- You rude people! Haven't you ever seen a beautiful girl before? Look at how many of you are staring! Get out of here, or grandma's calling the police and having the whole bunch arrested!
After a brief moment of being dumbstruck at the laugh-until-you-cry moment, Sam yells out, arguing loudly:
- Hey, what whole bunch are you talking about? You mean me too? That's enough—don't lump everyone together. Don't think just because this guy doesn't argue with girls, you can go overboard, alright?
The fierce Rose fires back without missing a beat:
- Who's losing their temper, huh? I haven't even brought up the crime of breaking into a girl's room, and you still dare to shout and threaten?
Sam doesn't waste another second. Arguing with a woman is the dumbest thing a man can do in his life. He needs to find his sister-in-law.
He looks around and sees Hanna, confused by the half-laughing, half-crying scene, not understanding why the two are arguing.
Sam rushes over and checks her from head to toe. The future husband's brother carefully inspects whether his sister-in-law is hurt, but still asks feverishly to reassure himself:
- Sister-in-law, did the crazy fans run away?
Hanna looks surprised:
- What crazy fans?
Rose stifles a laugh, peeking at Sam as he stands there dumbfounded. She chuckles quietly, hearing him go "uh… uh…" completely clueless about what's happening.
- You sent me a text saying crazy fans attacked…
Hanna shakes her head and corrects him:
- When did I text you? I was in the bathroom the whole time and didn't even touch my phone.
The owls and crows outside don't understand a thing. But Hanna is close to Sam, and the two of them call each other 'sister-in-law' and 'younger brother'. Instantly, the crowd goes wild, competing to take photos and record videos.
This time, there's no roaring threat. Sam lets them shoot and take pictures freely, spreading the images across the internet. He even wants his sister-in-law to learn how to live with the flood — she has to get used to suffocation if she's going to live with his older brother for the rest of her life.
Rose raises her eyebrows and giggles slightly, watching Hanna's peach cheeks turn a fresh pink. The delicate laughter of an outsider speaks the thoughts of an insider. Hanna glances at her bestie, who's always full of tricks. She realizes it was Rose who mischievously sent the text to Sam.
- I always lose to you!
Rose laughs until tears stream down at the sight of Sam's speechless face. He curls his lips, raises his chin, and smacks his forehead, scolding himself for being foolishly tricked by a woman. The girl full of mischief says what she means without hesitation:
- Even if you don't owe anyone anything, trouble still finds you sooner or later.
Rose smacks her lips and glances at the gossip association, still going wild — taking photos, recording videos, live-streaming for likes and views:
- - From now until the end of your life, you'd better protect yourself from the storm. Practice and get used to it, okay? I tricked Sam because… - Rose shrugs and clicks her tongue - Ah, forget it. Talking too much makes me ramble… girls are just hard to understand. Hehe.
Rose rolls her eyes just like Sam, making both him and Hanna laugh. The two shake their heads helplessly as they watch Rose grab the sides of her skirt and give a quick curtsy like a princess:
- I'm a beautiful girl… hehehe…
Sam doesn't delay any further. Hanna and Rose don't have time to chat, so the two girls head to the bathroom to change clothes. The future sister-in-law and the beautiful troublemaker both wear white shirts with red buttons and black pleated short skirts that reach their thighs. Sam gives a thumbs up. Rose giggles and teases:
- Is the "younger brother" praising the college uniforms or the two older sisters?
- Hey. - Sam raises his chin and lifts his face - Who's your younger brother?
The super prankster pokes at Rose's love of fooling around, and her auto counter mode activates instantly:
- Oh, you're "someone's" younger brother. - She blinks and glances at Hanna - "Someone" is the same age as me. If I don't call you younger brother, am I supposed to call you handsome guy instead?
Hanna presses her lips and smiles secretly because Sam keeps getting spun around like a pinwheel. The talkative guy now runs out of arguments, furious to the point of wanting to go crazy, but he can't get mad, so he has to find an excuse to shift attention:
- Sister-in-law, we're late for school, let's go!
Rose enjoys teasing the super disruptive guy:
- School starts in 20 minutes. You argue but can't beat me, too ashamed so you speak wrong?
Sam growls, coldly eyeing the talkative girl; from the moment he met her, he is immediately restrained. Furious to the point of wanting to spit blood but unable to lift a hand or foot against the culprit, he vented his anger on the giggling witnesses:
- Laugh at your mother, bitch! Get out of daddy's way. If anyone stands in the way, daddy breaks all your teeth!
Rose teases even more:
- Always threatening to break teeth, break necks. Try threatening something else so it's not boring, ku!
Sam's angry steam shoots to his head. Hanna stifles her laughter and urges him to leave quickly before it's too late. Rose is about to keep joking, but seeing Sam can't take it anymore, she purses her lips and smiles charmingly, letting him go for now.
Thanks to Sam, fierce as a tiger panther, his brain short-circuits again and wants to explode, but the three of them manage to leave the dormitory smoothly. The vultures still rush in more fiercely than moths to a flame.
The reward offered by the newspaper is several times higher than usual news, so no vulture wants to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Sam gets angry and commits assault, they'll have even more excuse to peck out a lot more money.
"How long have you been dating Hoang Kim?"
"Where did you first meet him, and who confessed first?"
"Miss, are you two engaged yet?"
"Mr, what do you think of your future sister-in-law?"
"What kind of person is she, Mr?"
"What is your first and biggest impression of the Hoang Kim family?"
"If you marry Hoang Kim, are you worried about being envied for no reason?"
"Miss, are you afraid the queen sisters of Hexagon Country will compete with you for your husband?"
The interview gets interrupted by a series of creepy noises. Crazy fans and busybodies push and scramble, curse and clamor to get closer to the girlfriend of the nation's hero.
- The flower isn't dazzlingly pretty, but she really is as pure as the rumors say!
- Mother the guy is aesthetically blind. She is pretty and gentle but not dazzling but you say she is not outstandingly pretty. Father guy is stupid!
- I don't hold a don't-give-a-shit attitude against uneducated people!
- Who do you call uneducated, this dog? Daddy feeds you dog bait now!
- Unfortunately, the flower already has an owner!
- Stop vain dreaming, lest you lose fat!
- Sister, I admire your true love for Brother Kim! I love you!
- Honey, come back to my team! My house is on the street, my dad's business is big, you sit cool, eat from a golden bowl for life! - The guy dares to tease and hurriedly waves to Sam, smiling in a friendly way at him - Hey, just kidding a little bit, what tension, brother, no one dares to touch your sister-in-law!
The situation is chaotic and messy. People push, shove, praise, applaud, feel regretful, envy… replaying classic drama. Newspaper reporters click buttons until they're indented into the machine. Devices run beyond their capacity. Every time the most beautiful flower in the world moves, every step becomes a photo. Every smallest expression is caught in a video clip. Every forced smile explodes the area like a nuclear bomb. The vast streets are hit by a sound wave that reverberates louder than thunder, causing confusion in the brain.
The heat, equivalent to scorching temperature, comes from the three princesses of the nation family. Sam can't imagine his sister-in-law has such terrifying attraction. She turns into a giant magnet, wherever she goes, thousands of people are fascinated and follow.
Hanna panics at the scene of being tightly surrounded by the monster herd, unable to move even half a step. At this moment, she's like a sheep surrounded by thousands of hyenas trying to eat her.
Hanna is so afraid that her body stiffens. Sam signals them to cover their ears. Rose and Hanna see him snatch the microphone and turn up the volume — they understand what he means and do as he says.
Sam pushes some people on the left, steps on them, temporarily avoiding his relatives to ensure safety. The dog-blooded guy is furious and screams at maximum volume, shaking the street:
- DAMN YOU, ALL OF YOU, GET OUT OF HERE! IF ANYONE DARES TO RIOT IT UP, I'LL SEND YOU TO THE DENTAL HOSPITAL TO CELEBRATE THE SPRING FESTIVAL!
The loud voice breaks all surrounding sounds. Everyone covers their ears to prevent deafness, but their heads still buzz. Many people feel dizzy, seeing moon and stars flying in front of their eyes. The herds of livestock fear their gallbladders will burst, so they hurry to clear the road.
The three quickly run to the taxi waiting in the alley. The car hits the gas and speeds down the shortcut, disappearing from the scene in the blink of an eye.
