A tense silence followed the initial shock, like the calm before a comedic storm.
Both Rodalina and Ronali exchanged a glance, looking at Candy for just a second before the dam broke. Rodalina turned her head, stifling her laughter to avoid offending her elder sister.
But Ronali? Oh, she couldn't hold back. She burst out laughing like a lunatic, her entire body shaking as she pounded on the bed frame with all the finesse of a drunk gorilla.
Then, she aimed her assault at Kaisen's chest, thumping him with every ounce of her strength.
Kaisen winced—not because it hurt (he could shrug off way worse), but because getting hammered in the chest out of nowhere while you're trying to fake unconsciousness was a bit of a buzzkill.
His body could handle it, sure, but his pride? That took a hit. He had no idea what had triggered this barrage of laughter, but he damn well knew Ronali was pissed.
