"There, are you satisfied now?" Leena bit her lips and lowered her head, looking at her toes. She felt a bit embarrassed at the unfamiliar thing she just did. Kevin was making her do little shameless things bit by bit. What was going to be next?
"Just so so," Kevin replied. He stopped messing around because he felt a little more dizzy now. The alcohol was really starting to have its full effect.
"Okay, okay, let's go into the room now." Relieved, Leena helped him into the room. They could finally rest. With that much alcohol, she saw how her husband could turn into a giant baby.
"Nana, you are good at taking advantage of loopholes." Lying on the bed, Kevin gazed at her lazily.
"Me? You are so wrong! Stay there, I will go to prepare the bath water for you." Leena hurriedly ran into the bathroom, happy that she managed to muddle through this situation but she wouldn't admit it. Wasn't he the one who said it? She only needed to kiss him. He didn't require how long she should do the kiss. Therefore it was up to her to decide how long it was going to be.
Kevin smiled with self-mockery. It was true that he was a little drunk, but he was still conscious. He then remembered and dwelled on the thing that slipped out of Rain's mouth earlier when they were drinking. He felt that he hadn't misheard anything. The feeling in his gut that they were deliberately hiding something from him was getting stronger.
The next day when Leena woke up and opened her eyes, she found herself in the arms of Kevin, who was still in a deep sound sleep. She felt so warm as Kevin wrapped her by the waist with his muscular arms. And she found that he would subconsciously tighten his grip at her slightest movement, as if he was afraid that she would go away at any time. She carefully and quietly slid out of his embrace and got out of bed. There were now two men in the house who would need breakfast soon.
Coming downstairs, Leena found that Rain was still asleep. He drank too much last night. He was so drunk that he didn't even have any reaction when she walked into his room and tucked him in.
Thinking that they would feel like crap after they got up because of the hangover, she went into the kitchen and cooked some millet porridge. She added some corn flour in the porridge to make it more tasty.
Kevin awakened to something that made his face itch. Thinking it was some bug, he raised his hand to swat it. When he opened his eyes, Leena was stroking his face with her hair. She was looking at him with her clear eyes, flashing a sly smile.
"What time is it now?" Kevin pinched the spot between his eyebrows. His head felt so heavy that he didn't think he could raise it.
"Good morning! It is already about ten o'clock. Do you want to get up now?" Leena leaned on his chest and continued to tease him with her hair. She was having fun with him.
"Yes. Where is Rain? Is he still sleeping? And could you please not yell at me?" Kevin had never slept in and woken as late as today. He didn't even notice when Leena got out and came back into the room. He was indeed beastly drunk last night. And the hangover was so bad that even the slightest sound seemed very loud.
"No. I have already woken him up before I came back up here to you." If it wasn't for the porridge that was getting cold, she would not have been so eager to wake them up.
Rain was a little embarrassed after he got up in the morning. He had never expected that he would be so drunk that he would need to sleep over in their house that night. So when he saw Kevin again, he wasn't as cocky as he was the night before as if nobody on earth could beat him. Today, he lowered his head, both to hide his embarrassment and to not directly look at the light which made his headache feel worse.
