“What, marriage! Are you talking about marriage? Are Heli Hyung and Sera getting married? When? When are they getting married?”
Ferre exclaimed with excitement, bouncing on his feet.
Then, Rosé poked Ferre in the ribs and waved her index finger in front of his eyes.
“No! Ferre. Oppa and Sera aren’t married yet!”
“Then?”
“Oppa hasn’t proposed to Sera yet. You have to propose to get married. Dummy.”
The word ‘propose’ made Ferre’s eyes widen threefold.
Rosé, enjoying knowing something Ferre didn’t, tilted her chin up haughtily and added,
“And don’t you think Oppa has Mom’s ring in his jacket, Ferre?”
“What? Ring?”
Ferre turned his head quickly, his face puffed up with excitement and anticipation as he stared at Helios’s chest.
His intense gaze seemed to try to see the ring Rosé mentioned.
“Hyung, then…”
Suddenly, Ferre plopped down to the ground.
Startled, Helios tried to help him up but ended up sighing and rubbing his neck.
“Do you get on one knee and say ‘Will you marry me?’ while giving the ring? I saw this in The Sound of Music! Duke Elio did this to Seri Pofos, right?”
“Right! The book Sera wrote! You read it too, Oppa.”
“Rings and flowers! That’s important, Hyung!”
Oh, what to do.
Overflowing with energy, Ferre mimicked holding a ring case with both hands.
He knelt on one knee, gesturing with his hands as if proposing.
And Rosé…
Hands clasped to her chest, her expression deeply moved. She even mimicked dry tears with exaggerated sniffles.
“Ro…sé. Fe…rre. Let’s get up.”
Feeling a cold sweat running down his back, Helios helped his siblings to their feet.
The excited siblings had spread rumors more than once.
So imagining what might happen next wasn’t too difficult.
Rosé and Ferre would surely run straight to Sera and blurt out everything about what he was preparing, what he intended to say.
No way.
His recent resolve to make the proposal perfect felt like it was already turning to dust.
Helios kneeled on one knee, met their eyes, and firmly held Rosé and Ferre’s hands.
“From now on, you need to listen carefully to what I say.”
Lowering his voice, Ferre looked puzzled.
Feeling anxious, Helios gripped their hands again, especially Ferre’s.
“This must remain a secret until I do it.”
“A secret?”
“Sera will be happier if I surprise her with this.”
“Ah. But isn’t it better to know these things sooner? Keeping secrets was hard last time too.”
Ferre immediately frowned, not liking the idea of keeping secrets.
How should he persuade them? Just then, Rosé came to the rescue like a savior.
“Ferre. Think of this like a mission for Oppa and Sera’s marriage. If we can’t keep the secret, the mission fails! Don’t you want Oppa and Sera to get married?”
“Gah! No, of course I do! Sera must marry Hyung no matter what!”
Ferre shook his head vehemently.
“Hyung, I’ll definitely keep the secret.”
Maybe it was Rosé’s forceful statement.
Helios felt relieved as he looked at Ferre, who seemed determined not to say a word even if a knife were at his throat.
While he sighed with a fond smile, Rosé avoided Ferre’s eyes and quietly called out, “Heli Oppa.”
As their eyes met, Rosé gave him a sly wink.
Sigh.
Amused, Helios chuckled softly. Despite everything, he couldn’t help but pat the clever Rosé on the head.
“Alright, let’s make a promise.”
Just as he had learned from Sera, Helios extended his pinky finger to Rosé and Ferre.
As they hooked their tiny fingers around his with ease, Helios emphasized again,
“It’s a secret, okay?”
“Yes, I’ll keep it for sure, Oppa.”
“I can keep it, Hyung!”
“What are you keeping?”
Just then, Sera’s voice woke everyone up.
“Sera!”
“Sera?”
“Huh? Sera?”
Helios and Rosé looked at Sera, not knowing how long she had been there.
Surprised by her sudden appearance, Ferre collapsed to his knees.
And Sera found Ferre’s reaction posture, tilting her head to the side curiously.
For a moment there, all three siblings gulped dryly.
“Are you in trouble? Did you guys do something wrong?”
“N-No. Something wrong? No way.”
Rosé shook her head vehemently.
As Sera still looked at Ferre kneeling, he finally startled up and dusted off his knees.
“Is that so?”
“Yes, of course.”
Sera’s gaze then turned towards Helios, who also nodded, indicating nothing was amiss.
Sera scanned them all once more and asked lightly,
“But why were you linking fingers? I heard something about making a promise.”
