Only then did Oriana understand Kai’s real intention.

Her gaze paused briefly, drifting past Kai toward Nash’s house.

Compared to the yellow earth and blue tiles of the other homes, Nash’s place was definitely nicer, even tiled.

Surrounded by farmland, it didn’t smell like the villagers‘ houses, where chickens and ducks added to the stench.

Still, she declined.

“I don’t have any special demands for where I live. As long as it keeps out the wind and rain, that’s enough. Besides, the entire volunteer team lives under similar conditions. Why should I get special treatment?”

“You-”

Kai wanted to ask why she was so stubborn.

What was wrong with making things easier?

But then he thought about how Niall was just as straightforward, and realized he had no right to criticize Oriana.

That was just how the family was. If it were Luna, she’d have been crying with red eyes, begging them to find a more comfortable place ages ago.

Thinking of Luna made Kai sick to his stomach. At the same time, he felt ashamed of himself in front of Oriana–a grown man acting so sensitive.

After a long pause, Kai’s head drooped. Dejected, he said, “Fine, I get it. I won’t bother your work. I’ll leave tomorrow.”

Oriana frowned. “You’re not doing the promo shoot?”

“Huh? I thought you weren’t going to-‘

Kai froze for a moment, then realization sparked back in his eyes. “You agreed to film it!”

Oriana nodded. “I’ll come to film after the volunteer work ends. After the shoot, I’ll return to my own place.”

“No way! I can’t have you bending over backward for me. When the team arrives tomorrow, carve out some free time, and we’ll come get you. I promise it won’t interfere with your work?

Worried to be rejected, before she could respond, Kai dashed toward Nash’s house. “It’s settled then! See you tomorrow!”

Before Oriana could say anything, the wooden door slammed shut and was locked with two bolts from the inside.

Oriana’s mouth twitched, but she shook her head in helplessness and headed back the way she

came.

Kai bounced happily in his room, then pulled out his phone and sent a message to the group

chat.

Kai texted. “Tomorrow I’m shooting the promo with Oriana–the male and female leads. Jealous, right?”

Leo, Ethan, Oscar, and Arthur were all stunned.

Kai followed up with a goofy dancing emoji.

Oscar’s voice message came through, itching to tease. “Leo says Oriana went to the countryside to volunteer. So you secretly followed her?”

Kai shot back. “Why you gotta say it like that? I’m on vacation. Why not do some charity work? I’m just checking things out. Isn’t that fine?”

Oscar rolled his eyes. “Like I believe it.”

Leo asked for the full story, and Kai gave a quick rundown.

By the end, he was dry–mouthed and took a long gulp from his cup. “That’s the deal. I realized Oriana really is a lot like Niall, especially in the eyes. How did I never notice before?”

Ethan delivered the knockout line. “Because you never looked at her properly.”

Kai muttered, “Fuck.”

He was itching to argue, but couldn’t deny Ethan’s point.

Kai had hardly ever looked Oriana in the eye. Even when they did lock eyes, his gaze was full of anger–no hint of appreciating the family resemblance.

Thinking that, he couldn’t help but slap his own face.

At that moment, Arthur, who had been silent, suddenly chimed in. “You said you were afraid she’d back out, so you locked the door and went inside yourself?”

“Yeah, as long as I react fast enough, her refusal can’t catch up with me. Pretty clever, huh?”

“You’re an idiot.”

Arthur was seriously annoyed. “The mountain roads are rough. You left her to walk back alone so late. What if something happened?”

“Damn it!”

Kai jumped up, slapping himself again.

Why didn’t I think of that? What an idiot.

Kai dropped the chat and rushed to fling open the door without a word–and dashed outside.
