While everyone was having the best time of their lives watching the beautiful sunrise, Ruby was standing in the underwater party hall, watching everything from the ss ceiling.


    "I don''t think you can quite see it clearly." Rudy suddenly teleported behind her.


    Ruby jolted in fear and red at Rudy.


    "I swear you are doing this on purpose!" she yelled.


    "I wouldn''t say no."


    SIGH!


    Ruby turned around and looked up at the sky from the sea.


    "So, what are you doing here, looking like a loner abandoned by everyone?" Rudy asked.


    ? "Nothing. I just got here."


    "That''s a lie."


    Ruby raised her brow at Rudy and said, "Seriously, have you put a tracker on me or something?"


    "No, but I have marked you, so I know your location."


    "Marked… me…? Like… What did you do to me?"


    "Remember you kissed me when we first met? I kind of marked you at that time."


    Ruby''s face flushed when Rudy mentioned the kiss.


    "Forget about that kiss! It was the biggest mistake of my life that I regret every day."


    "Is that so?" Rudy grinned and said, "Well, I, for one, liked that kiss, actually. Your lips are… very kissable."


    Rudy licked his lips seductively while saying that.


    Ruby gulped down and backed a few steps from Rudy.


    "Why would you say that?" She asked with a confused and curious look on her face.


    "I am simply stating the fact."


    "No, no, no. The look in your eyes seems like you are going to jump on me and ravage my body."


    "You know I won''t do that."


    "I used to think the same until you walked in on me changing clothes in the hotel room."


    "Come on~ Don''t act like you were totally naked. You were in your ck undies. And hey, you have seen me naked too. I never made a big deal out of it, did I?"


    "I didn''t walk in on you changing clothes. You were already naked. Not to mention, I didn''t even know you were in Maria''s room."


    "Still, we are even now, right?"


    "I… guess?"


    "Good."


    Ruby red at Rudy with a judging look on her face and said, "But you walked into the room on purpose! You knew I still wasn''t done changing my clothes, yet you barged in."


    "If you know that, then you should also know that I can see anyone naked, even if they are wearing clothes. If I wanted to see your naked figure that badly, I would just stare at you and watch you naked all day."


    "..."


    "That was a hypothetical statement. I am saying I could do it if I wanted… not that I ever did it."


    "That''s obviously a lie." Ruby retorted. "No one in their sane mind wouldn''t use that power to look at the girls naked."


    "That''s called ''abuse'', not use. And I have no interest in looking at naked figures of girls I don''t know."


    Ruby raised her brow andmented, "So that means you look at naked figures of the girls, you know?"


    "Damn, that was a trick question?"


    "I am sure you wouldn''t fall for such an obvious trick question. So…?" She folded her arms and asked, "Why would you tell me something that could be used against you?"


    "I just wanted to prove that I am not a woman predator."


    "Your harem speaks for you. Anyway, what are you doing here? Shouldn''t you be with Maria?"


    "I asked you the same question a while ago, and I still haven''t gotten my answer. What are you doing here?"


    "I already answered that and said I just got here."


    "That''s not a lie, but you came here after the party hours ended. That''s not a coincidence, is it?"


    He furrowed his brows and continued, "I don''t need your help with my rtionships with them. You stay on the deal we made. Don''t try to change it."


    "I thought you would be happy, what the fuck?"


    "And what about you? Are you happy right now?" he asked with a judging look on his face.


    "Of course I am. Do I look sad to you?"


    "Oh, let''s see. Watching the sunrise alone from the underwater hall made of ss… hmm~ Does that sound like a memorable experience to you?"


    Rudy asked in an annoyed tone, seemingly frustrated by Ruby''s attempt to hide her sadness.


    Ruby turned around and mumbled, "What does it have to do with you? You should focus on yourself and not get into someone''s business."


    "That''s what I am trying to tell you, you stupid bitch."


    "If I am a bitch, then you are an asshole."


    "I would never deny not being an asshole," Rudy shrugged with a proud look on his face.


    "..." Ruby stared at Rudy for a few seconds and let out augh. "Pfft! What''s with you? I can never understand you."


    Rudy hacked into the music system and yed Ruby''s favorite song. Even the glimmering lights'' color was changed into Ruby''s favorite shades.


    Rudy moved closer to Ruby and held her hand. He ced his hand on her waist and started dancing with her.


    "What… are you… doing?'' Ruby asked with a confused face.


    "We are dancing."


    "But why?"


    "Because you missed the party."


    "And why am I dancing with ''you''?"


    "Because I don''t see anyone else around."


    Ruby looked into Rudy''s eyes and shook her head.


    "I seriously can''t understand what''s going through that head of yours. Sometimes, you are like a charming prince, while the rest of them, you are…"


    Ruby stopped without finishing her sentence.


    "Whatever you were trying to say… I think I would rather prefer that one instead of being a charming prince. That''s not my thing."


    "You may not think of yourself as one, but I am sure the girl sees you as a dashing, handsome…. charming… powerful… mischievous…. prince."


    "Ughh~ Stop. I am not used to someone praising me that much."


    "They are not my words, by the way. For me, you are…"


    "I am…?" Rudy asked with a grin.


    "For me, you are just my brother-inw."
