Episode 16

"What secret are you talking about?"

Mei is such a kind person, I see how young he still is, full of dreams, but I also see how mature he is for his age. I cry a lot because my brother has done so much harm to this family, but hearing that I am not to blame for anything has made me feel relieved.

MEI💫

"Jaime, I know when someone has a bad heart, your brother is different from you, you are a sweet and gentle person. I don't know him well, but I see that in you."

"I have nothing to forgive you for, you haven't done anything wrong. Now explain to me, why are you here in my house, pretending to be my brother's wife?"

Jaime wipes his eyes with a tissue from the bedside table, still sobbing and a bit red, he replies.

Jaime💫

"My mother is sick, so when I rented my first apartment, it had been eight years since I last saw him. Junno doesn't really like me because we look alike. He is ashamed of our humble family. My father is a fisherman and my mother makes decorative cakes for weddings and events."

"At first, I didn't accept it, I swear, I resisted and tried to convince him that it was absurd and crazy. But when he offered to help my mother buy her medication, I realized that saving my mother was my priority."

Mei💫

"I understand! But you know, men have their own pheromones. Your brother looks like you, but your scents are perfectly different."

"My brother is a dominant alpha, I've known him for a long time. You can tell that your scents are not the same. You might have problems, Junno is a snake, but he would kill and die for that pest!"

Jaime💫

"Oh my goodness!!◖⚆ᴥ⚆◗"

"I'm afraid he'll find out that I'm not Junno, his beloved."

"Junno, he gave me a perfume with his essence to disguise my pheromones."

Mei💫

"Why didn't you appear earlier? You're so different from your brother, you're even better than him!!"

"Honestly, I don't believe that Jonathan truly loves him. I think it's more of an unhealthy obsession or something. But I don't really know. But I would really like it if he fell in love with you!"

Jaime is speechless, but he knows that Jonathan already has his destined mate, his brother, whether it's good or bad, he loves him regardless.

"Junno is his husband, we can't change that. Like you said, my brother is madly in love with him."

Mei💫

"Things change, Jaime! Hehehe, you're so cute. If my brother doesn't fall in love with you, he's a fool."

"Listen well, Jaime. I'm on your side, I won't tell anyone! This will be our secret!"

"Let's be friends!(ᵔᴥᵔ)."

Jaime💫

"Of course! I liked you from the start, you're also a great person. I'm sorry for the bad things Junno made you go through, but who knows, maybe your true alpha wasn't him."

Mei💫

"You're right! I never thought about it that way, but listening to you now, maybe you're right! I never thought about that. I guess your brother did me a favor!!"

"Jaime, be careful! Your brother has made a lot of enemies, and one of them is my cousin, Jael. He used to be in love with my brother, but after Junno married him, he went to Europe and gave up. My mother mentioned that he's coming back this year, to spend a few days here."

"Well, I should go, I'm tired and sleepy. Don't worry about me, no one else will know besides you and me!"

They look at each other and smile. Mei hugs Jaime, promising to come back so they can talk some more.

As Mei is leaving Jaime's room, Jonathan appears and surprises them both. He leans against the wall, smoking his cigarette, and is confused by the scene of his brother talking to his spouse as if they were old friends, especially considering that they don't get along at all!

Jaime and Mei are very scared, thinking quickly about a response, and Jonathan decides to say something that makes them even more apprehensive.

Jonathan🔥

"So, are you just going to stand there silently? Are you not going to answer me?"

"I asked, what the hell is going on here?"

"Well... it's just that.... | ･〰･ |."

Jhonatan🔥

"Which secret are you referring to? And why are you here in my room, Mei?"

Mei💫

"Hey MANo!! there's no secret....well..."

Jaime💫

"Secret? What secret! I don't know what you're talking about! ಥ ‿ ಥ."
