Chapter 124: Black Swan (1)
"Seriously. I am so sorry! If you want to use me like a servant, you absolutely can! I deserve it!" Despite Ari’s best effort to restrain him, Mathew tried to slam his head on the ground once more.
"No! No! Absolutely not! I don’t know why you’re apologizing, but whatever it is, it’s fine! Stop this." Ari strained as he tried to hold Mathew back with all of his strength, but surprisingly, the tall, skinny boy wearing oversized clothing was stronger than he looked.
"No! It’s my fault! Please forgive me!" Mathew slammed his head back down, and Ari quickly stuck his leg in the way so he wouldn’t hit the ground.
Wincing as his ankle jolted at an awkward angle, he wrestled Matthew up before pointing at the cameraman, "Enough. I said it’s fine, so stop. I don’t care."
"But-but I pushed you down and caused you to get injured. Your future career could be over!"
Ari: ಠ_ಠ
It’s just a sprain? Why would you curse me like that??
Holding back a sigh, Ari rubbed his head before replying in a neutral tone.
"You passed out from being overworked by a crazy bast- I mean, lovely, amazing director, and had to be rushed to the hospital. If anything, I’m glad I was in the way since I’d rather sprain my ankle than see you crack your head open in front of me. If that happened, instead of my future career, the entire program would have been instantly over."
At Ari’s blunt words, Mathew blinked before trying to bow in apology once more, but cold, slender fingers grasped his head and began squeezing it like a stress ball, and he felt a chill climb up his back as he stared up at the sea-green eyes glaring at him out of the strange green mask.
The eyes seemed to be saying that if he dared bow one more time, his head would be squeezed until it popped.
