My Future Wife Is Androphobic

Chapter 34 - How did you know?

Kira immediately noticed the extreme fear on Zeri's expression as he leaned in on her. The boy in disguise whom he was planning to kiss was unexpectedly looking much worse than he imagined.

She wasn't looking at him. Her eyes were focused on the ground instead.

Kira lifted his hand, held her chin and made her look at him. He didn't like the feeling of seeing this girl in this state, no, he strangely hated it so much.

A flare of anger blazed within him as soon as he saw her lips trembling. He didn't expect this. He had felt that she was scared a while ago but he never would have thought that her fear was to this extent. Why was this girl looking this scared?

Their faces were just few inches apart but Kira didn't move further to kiss her, he couldn't. He didn't know why but the longer he was seeing her in that state, he was becoming more and more angered that all he wanted to do was beat everyone who caused her to become like this. But he was afraid that he'd only scare her even more if a fight would happen before her.

"Look at me," Kira said. He was obviously trying his best to speak very gently, as if he was afraid that he would scare her but still, the girl acted as though she didn't hear him at all. This was the first time Kira had seen Zeri like this. He didn't know that this creature that he thought was the most amazing and unbeatable little species he had ever met actually had this kind of vulnerability. He didn't know why she was this scared even though nothing had happened to them yet but what made him feel worse was that, she was this scared despite him being by her side.

With a darkened face, Kira lifted his other hand and held her face between his palms, forcing her to look at him.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked, trying to make her snap out of the spell that seemed to have invaded her system.

When the girl still didn't react, Kira's voice became louder. "Zeri Kim! I said, look at me!" his voice was hard and a bit threatening but there was obvious worry and care in it.

Gladly, his loud voice calling out her name for the first time made her somehow react and finally, she looked at him.

Zeri seemed surprised as their eyes met. Her big eyes slowly widened and were filled with obvious fear but she looked as though she had just saw a light piercing through the cabin of darkness she was trapped into, and her first reaction was to desperately reach out her hand towards him.

Kira was caught off guard when Zeri suddenly embraced him. She abruptly wrapped her hands on his waist and hugged him as tight as she could, as if she was trying to make sure that no one could ever pull him away from her.

What she did stunned Kira. He was not even aware that he had let go of her until he realized that Zeri's face was already buried on his chest. He didn't even realize that the gays already fled because a police patrol car had just passed by in the area. He didn't even notice that they simply stayed in that position for quite a long while, not until he heard a childish ringtone ringing.

Kira was the first to snap. He couldn't believe that he had actually fell in a daze and completely forgot about everything else for a moment just because this little squirrel had embraced him. He thought that what was happening to him was absolutely strange…

"Ze… s-squirrel… are you alright? Everyone is gone… and your phone is ringing." Kira said, breaking the silence between them.

The girl in his arms began to move. She slowly loosened her grip on him but she still looked a little wary.

Zeri deliberately peeked behind Kira and the moment she saw that everyone was really gone, her stiff shoulders dropped, as if a heavy load on her shoulders just disappeared.

Without a word, she finally let go of Kira. She took a step back as she hesitantly looked at him.

When the girl just silently stood there, Kira sighed and he softly flicked her forehead. "I didn't know you're such a scaredy cat. Here I thought you would apply all your superhuman abilities at times like this." Kira mischievously said but the girl simply looked away and pouted a little.

The expression she made caused Kira's eyes to turn wide. He was stunned because he didn't expect that his little squirrel was so damn cute when she pouts.

While Kira was in a daze for a moment, Zeri's phone rang again.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star…" the phone's ringtone jolted Zeri and she immediately slipped her hand on her pocket and received the call.

"Hello? Jiro?"

"Big sis, where are you? I am very worried. You're supposed to be here by now. Are you alright?" The boy on the other side of the phone sounded so worried. "Where are you? I'll come over and fetch you."

"No, I'm fine. Don't go out of the house, okay? I'm already on my way back."

"R-really?"

"I'm fine, don't worry. I'm about to reach home."

"O-okay then. Please be careful."

"Mm."

As soon as the call ended, Zeri looked at Kira again. She looked like she had something to say and Kira somehow could tell that she's about to say goodbye to him and run away as she always does.

Thus, Kira immediately moved, making sure that she wouldn't escape by casually holding her hand.

"Was that your little brother?" he asked and Zeri who was looking at their hands with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes lifted her face and looked up to him.

She nodded at him before she slightly tilted her head. "H-how did you know?"
