Chapter 10

Two days later, the younger one was still overjoyed because of the bracelet his mother had brought for him. He cherished it like a treasure, keeping it in his hands most of the time. Ederic was deeply attached to his bracelet, feeling the love and warmth from his mother through it. He walked around with a constant smile, oblivious to the outer world and its worries. It was his cute tiny world where he and his mom were only there.

One day, while at school, Dallin excitedly pointed out to Lyan that they often saw the same boy around. “Hyung look at that boy. we are meeting him often right” Dallin leaped a little seeing the tiger cub there.

“Fuck you, Dallin. it's been one month since we regularly attended the class. why are you being dramatic” He was kind of annoyed by the younger's words. yeah, the younger was already attached to Ederic just by watching him far away. Lyan was irritated by the mention of the younger one, as he didn't like the rich kids, but Dallin couldn't help getting excited whenever he saw Ederic. That was so unusual of him thought.

“Dallin, I'm hungry. Can we go now?” Lyan asked, wanting to escape the topic of the younger one. Dallin followed him without saying a word as he knew that his hyung didn't like the topic of the little one.

Ederic, meanwhile, continued to treasure his bracelet, which had become his most prized possession. He wore it near his heart and took a deep breath, feeling the love and warmth from his mother. “eomma, I will cherish this bracelet... it's your first gift”. Ederic muttered.

He was lost in his own world, so much so that he didn't even notice when Aaron appeared with Edward.

“Look, who is here” Aaron's mocking sound made the younger gasp. these days, he didn't bother Ederic so he didn't feel heavy whenever he saw Aaron but right now what did he want? Ederic anger went to peak when he saw Edward with Aaron.

“What are you holding in your hands?” Aaron's harsh tone made the younger one shiver in fear. The aura he emitted was overwhelming. Edward was confused by Aaron's behavior; why was he always so harsh on this kid? He didn't want him to get hurt, maybe because he found Ederic cute.

“Hey, Man. let's go. we are getting late for our class” He tried to distract Aaron.

“if you want to go to class, you can go. I have something to discuss with my little brother” he said with a stern voice as the younger one flinched. there was no single affection for the word little brother.

“Nothing, Hyung,” Ederic replied, hiding the bracelet behind him. The stuttering never stopped. Ederic felt kinda scared seeing Aaron.

He grabbed Ederic's arms and pulled him closer, causing the younger one to stumble and fall on Aaron's chest.

“Hyung,” Ederic whined, feeling uncomfortable with this close contact. Aaron looked at his tiger pup, his emotions mixed. He was almost bewildered by the younger one; he didn't understand what was happening to him. His feelings were in turmoil.

Aaron took the bracelet from the younger one, and Ederic's eyes widened in shock and fear. "Hyung, Eomma gave that to me. Please give it back," he pleaded, trying to take the bracelet from Aaron's hand, but he was too short to reach it.

“gosh, it's kinda cute. I think I'll take this,” Aaron said with a smirk before walking away without giving a second glance to the younger one. Ederic was terrified. He liked Aaron, but he couldn't bear losing the bracelet, the only gift he had from his mother. He followed Aaron to his class, hoping to get it back. He must get it back but poor him, he didn't know he had no choice but abandon the bracelet to his elder brother.

“Hyung,” he shouted from outside the class, afraid to enter. The seniors had a murderous aura, and he felt like they were hungry wolves. His unique voice silenced the whole class, making everyone turn their attention to him. Aaron was annoyed.

“I won't return that thing, even if you beg me. Classes are about to start. Go back to your class,” Aaron said coldly as he sat down, crossing his legs over the bench.

The younger one didn't want to stay any longer and ran away, holding back his tears. Aaron looked at the bracelet again; he did like it, but it meant much more to Ederic. He held it tightly before putting it in his pocket.

Back in the class, his classmates teased Aaron about his little brother, “Aaron, your little brother was so cute. why don't you bring him to our class more often”

“Yeah, it will be more fun. he looks kinda attractive” There was no affection in his classmates' words. it was kinda like lust. Aaron could not hold his anger anymore. They found Ederic attractive and wanted him to come to their class more often. But Aaron's classmates didn't know the depth of his possessiveness over Ederic. He had never shown it before, but he was indeed somewhat possessive.

“Man... are you tired of living. even though he bullies his little brother. you didn't know how possessive he was over him. literally, he was Aaron's obsession” Edward drowned in his thoughts...

Edward, lost in his own thoughts, didn't hear the conversation until he was snapped back to reality by the sound of two strong punches. Two boys who were talking about Ederic were lying on the floor, holding their jaws. Aaron had hit them hard for their inappropriate comments.

The entire class stared at them in shock and awe. No one dared to help the fallen boys, afraid of going against Aaron Alit, who was not only the class president but also the sports committee president. They feared his anger, earning him the nickname "God of Destruction." No one wanted to mess with him.
