"Mom." Bidziil quickly picked up Lucinda's phone call and ran out of the buzzing school cafeteria to receive Lucinda's call.
Hearing no noise from a nearby class, Bidziil entered the class and didn't bother to take a glance before he bent down near the entrance. "Mom, I can hear you now." Bidziil's clear voice refreshed Lucinda's ear and brought a warm smile to her face.
"You didn't make trouble today?" Lucinda's heart was caught in her throat as she probed carefully in case her son had switched to his old self again.
Bidziil quickly shook his head, but upon remembering that it was a call, "No, Mom." He replied with a silly laugh that increased the warmth in Lucinda's heart.
Although Lucinda knew that she shouldn't have that thought, she hoped that Bidziil wouldn't remember his old self and would continue to act and live decently.
Hearing no words from Lucinda's side, Bidziil gently inquired, "How's mom?" While hoping that he hasn't made a character error.
Upon hearing Bidziil's concern, Lucinda burst into tears, but she quickly wiped them away before they could spill. Finally, her son had begun to show concern and had changed for the better. "Mom is fine. How about you? You didn't disturb young Master Inti, did you?"
Bidziil lowered his head in bewilderment. Perhaps Inti's background is more powerful than he thought. Even Lucinda uses the young master for him.
However, he was taken by fury upon hearing Lucinda's final words, "Mom, you don't have your trust in your son, do you? How can I disturb that sort of person? I'm truly innocent. Oh, Mom made my heart ache so much." Perhaps it was because of Lucinda's gentle and caring act for him that Bidziil was quick to get used to Lucinda's motherly care.
Back in his world, Bidziil's parents were very strict and didn't care about him like Lucinda, who called just to check if he was doing fine. Yet the previous Bidziil didn't appreciate this motherly care.
Lucinda was amused by Bidziil's reply, and she patiently coaxed him; she even promised to send 2 million into his account, which made his mouth agape, but before he could say anything, Lucinda continued: "Is the school meal okay? It doesn't upset your stomach, does it?" Lucinda asked with worry, and he shook his head.
"No Mom. It's okay. Really." He replied firmly in case Lucinda's mom planned to employ a chef for the school cafeteria all because of her son's stomach.
Won't that give him the image of a pampered son? Or make him look cool in front of the girls? No. No. He doesn't need to waste the family's money on nonsense.
"Warrick is at the school gate."
"Huh?"
Without waiting for Lucinda to complete his words, Bidziil dashed out of the class and began to sprint toward the school gate according to his memory of how he came in the morning.
Inti, who was in the class all through, arched his brows upon seeing Bidziil leave. Is that how invisible he was to that silly rabbit? Or is this a trick of that silly rabbit to capture his attention while pretending to be innocent about it?
"What are you doing here?" Bidziil asked Warrick while feigning a cold glare at this person who smacked his head after arriving in this world.
Before Bidziil could process, Warrick smacked his head, which made him glare at Warrick with fury while rubbing his head.
"Everyone said you changed; why are you still hostile to me?" Warrick asked, and before Bidziil could blink, Warrick threw a paper bag at him and turned away.
Bidziil was stunned by Warrick's sudden change; he had never expected it.
However, upon thinking about it, he knew that he was the one in the wrong; he had never thought about Warrick's feelings in all his actions.
Bidziil rubbed his nose and gritted his teeth in shame because he knew he was about to cross the line of addressing someone younger than him in his original world.
"I. I'm sorry…" Bidziil closed his eyes as the words fell from his lips: "Big brother Warrick."
Warrick froze upon hearing Bidziil's words. He turned back and grabbed Bidziil's shoulder with an anxious look. "What did you just say?" He asked again as if to confirm what he had just heard.
Warrick's eyes lit up, his voice shaking due to excitement.
The happiness radiating off Warrick made Bidziil smile. The feeling of shame he was harboring earlier disappeared without a trace and Bidziil proudly replied again: "Big brother."
Warrick smiled immediately. Being unable to control his emotions, he hugged Bidziil intensely.
"Finally, you changed. I like this change," Warrick conveyed, his voice quivering due to excitement, which made Bidziil's heart ache on their behalf.
How long had the family been waiting for the previous host to become a responsible person that each of Bidziil's actions were enough to make their day?
An excited Warrick even ruffled Bidziil's hair like he had always been planning to ever since they were young. It was after his actions, that he remembered the type of person Bidziil was and how he had mistakenly let his excitement get the best of him. "I'm sorry..."
Bidziil sighed and used Warrick's hand to ruffle his hair properly. "Big brother, let's be a brother properly," Bidziil said and smiled widely.
Warrick nodded as he stared at Bidziil. The world's beauty seemed to pale compared to Bidziil at that moment, making him look enchanting.
'Alert. Alert.'
Bidziil's brows furrowed at the system's sound, but he didn't want to spend his time talking with a system when Warrick was with him, so he ignored it.
CEO Warrick's hand flew to his eyes to wipe the tears that pooled in his eyes due to Bidziil's actions.
Bidziil chuckled with amusement. "Is Big Brother crying?" He teased Warrick.
"Yes. Yes. Big brother is so touched by younger brother's words." He teased in return and hugged Bidziil in a brotherly manner. "Thank you for changing." He said and ruffled Bidziil's hair again.
Bidziil nodded and patted Warrick's shoulder in return.
'Bidziil, I hope you can return to your family after I leave, and I hope you'll be more sensible by that time and will be able to understand the intense love your family has for you.' Bidziil thought.
"Can we play during the weekend?" The excited Warrick asked, and Bidziil nodded.
His lips parted to say something, but before he could, a languid yet pleasant masculine voice sounded behind him: "I didn't expect to meet CEO Warrick here. It seems taking over the company isn't as hectic as I thought."
