Winter Rabbit in Wonderland

Chapter 65

Eventually the two men had to treat the wounds that they caused each other in front of SoYoon.

After they finished, SoYoon put the first aid kit back in its place and was returning to her seat when Heart grabbed her by the arm and sat her on his lap. She was distracted from trying to be careful to not sit on his hurt leg when he whipped off her mask and kissed her passionately.

Mad Hatter’s anger-filled voice dissipated into the background. She grabbed tightly onto Heart’s shoulder and moaned softly. Heart touched his lips against her, and his lips met her wet lips. When his breath touched her, it became so hot that she leaned her head on his shoulder to try to avoid it.

“You’re so cute.”

She heard him laugh.

A long and cool-feeling finger grabbed her arm and pulled her away. Having lost her strength from the kiss, she easily fell into Mad Hatter’s embrace. She had grabbed his arm for leverage but realized it was wrapped in bandages and quickly let go, but he didn’t pay any attention to it. He sat her on the sofa and cornered her between his arms.

His arms propped against the back of the sofa, he commanded, “Wash away.”

At that exact moment, water appeared in her mouth and lightly washed everything away.

“Disappear.”

As he recited the words, the water in her mouth disappeared.

It was not the best feeling, and she was about to tell him that when Mad Hatter hugged her tight. It felt as if he was clinging on to her in desperation, so she decided to keep her mouth shut.

She patted him on the back reflexively, which caused Heart to glare at Mad Hatter maliciously. Mad Hatter, having made eye contact with Heart, smiled slyly. Eventually, unable to hold in his anger, Heart kicked Mad Hatter.

“That’s enough,” Heart said with a smiling expression as if he was unaware of the attack.

“You started it,” Mad Hatter said back to him, also smiling.

“Don’t you think it was a bit shameful to create an opportunity when a girl can’t defend herself because she’s distracted by a kiss?”

“Don’t you think it is shameful to create an opportunity when she’s ill and weakened?”

Heart frowned at Mad Hatter’s accusation that he had slept with SoYoon the day following Cheshire’s attack. He knew that he could beat him at his own game.

“If that’s the case, then I will return the same words to you.”

Heart was talking about the day they had invaded Jack’s lair. Feeling a stab of guilt, Mad Hatter shut his mouth. What had happened that night was a secret, so he shouldn’t be continuing this conversation.

Heart smiled in victory. SoYoon looked at the two men and thought. She was getting a bit hungry and wondered if it would be okay to bring up the topic of lunch.

A message alert popped up on her smartphone. She pulled it out of her pocket and checked the message.

When Tweedle Dum had asked for her number, she didn’t think that he had intended to put in requests. The message on the screen proved that she had been mistaken.

/[Please come by 2 PM tomorrow.]/

The address that Dum sent her was neither his house or his office. This wasn’t necessarily something out of the ordinary, so she replied her agreement then put the smartphone back in her pocket. She turned her attention to the two men, who were now arguing about something else.

“It’s time to eat lunch. If you are going to keep arguing, then continue after we eat.”

***

Twins put the cellphone on the table. After sending the message to SoYoon, they sat watching it.

A few minutes later, the message alarm rang. Twins stared at the cellphone for a moment then picked it up slowly. As they flipped it open, the screen lit up with SoYoon’s message.

/[All right.]/

As expected, her reply was short and to the point. They rubbed their fingers over her answer then turned their head to look around the room. They could see the quickly built cage. They smiled. A very long day was passing them by.
