Chapter 26: Chapter 3 Tweedle Dee-4

Typical Heart. He already knew who was living in the house. Heart had heard all the rumors of the Twins' hobby. He was also one of the few people who knew those rumors were true. So sometimes, Heart called the Twins a dog—an animal that couldn't tell what it should or shouldn't eat and didn't care either way.

And SoYoon, through Wonderland, knew a little more. After eating his brother and mother to survive, Tweedle Dee had a split personality disorder and also murdered anyone he slept with. There was no reason or need to try to understand him. All she had to know was that he had bared his teeth at her and that she could keep him at bay without a problem.

SoYoon escaped Heart's grip and reached for the fork. But Heart grabbed her again and returned her to the same position.

”We need to treat this.”

She shook her head. The red strawberry on top of the cream was seducing her with its sweet smell. But this house belonged to Heart, and the things inside it belonged to Heart, and this tart was made by a chef who worked for Heart. She had no choice but to surrender her fork to Heart.

SoYoon pinned her hair back. Heart smiled at her face, which looked younger than usual, and smeared medicine onto her forehead.

SoYoon muttered, ”It hurts.”

”It's punishment.”

For allowing the Twins into your house. SoYoon understood him without him having to say it. She couldn't tell why that was something to be punished for, but it wasn't the first time he acted in ways she didn't understand.

After applying the medicine, Heart placed a bandage and gauze over it. She could now finally taste the tart.

Dee was sleeping when he sensed an unfamiliar person approaching. He hid in the kitchen.

A few moments later, someone came inside. Dee used a hand mirror to check inside. The first thing he saw was silver hair that broke up the sunlight.

”White Rabbit? Friend, are you here?”

The voice echoed. Baby, unless bothered by the noisy lovers, was usually harmless—so harmless that Dee could probably break Baby's neck in a minute. Seeing Dee, Baby's eyes grew round. Baby's face, as always, looked oblivious.

He showed himself to Baby.

”Twins?”

”What business do you have here?”

”I've come to see White Rabbit. What are you doing here?”

”Why do you need to know?”

With this, his secret was out. He wondered if he could get a discount on his 700,000 thousand carols. He had plenty of money, but he didn't like the idea of easily handing it over.

Baby looked Dee up and down and came to a conclusion.

”No way! Are you in a relationship with White Rabbit?”

”What'd you say, girl? What the hell are you talking about? You wanna die?”

”I'm not a girl. Right now, I'm a man.”

”Shut your trap. Stop making stuff up.”

”Whatever. Did White Rabbit go somewhere?”

”I don't know where that bitch went! Quit bothering me and get lost!”

The fight between the two continued until SoYoon arrived. When she stepped inside, Dee had a fist up toward Baby, and Baby was cowering beneath it.

”Having fun?” SoYoon asked.

”Friend! He hit me!”

”When?”

Baby scuttled over to SoYoon and clung to her. However, Baby was exactly five centimeters taller than SoYoon, so it looked as if they were hugging. She patted Baby's back and whispered.

”Let's not overdo it.”

”Hee hee.”

Baby laughed while turning away so that Dee couldn't see.

SoYoon prepared lunch for the three of them. Including the breakfast that Dee hadn't touched, there was actually a lot of food. SoYoon, still full from the dessert at Heart's place, put down her spoon after a couple of bites.

Baby worriedly, ”Are you not hungry?”

”Where the hell did you go to eat?” Dee growled.

”Heart gave me a tart. It was delicious, so I'm not really hungry.”

”The food at Heart's is good. And plus, it's not for just anyone, so he must take extra care.”

”Yeah, right. The food at my place is much better.”

”You haven't even tried it, so how would you know? Plus, the food at my house is phenomenal, too. Right, White Rabbit?”

SoYoon stayed quiet standing between Dee and Baby. To her, the food at Heart's house was the tastiest, but she thought it would be too much work if said that out loud.
