A Popcorn Massacre.

Loli's laughter filled the room, loud and unstoppable, like she had just heard the funniest joke in the universe.

She clutched her stomach, her entire body shaking as she gasped for air between each fit of giggles.

Meanwhile, Hugo sat completely still, his expression dark and unreadable. He stared at her with a mixture of disbelief and annoyance.

On the outside, he looked calm.

On the inside, however—

'I GOT PLAYED. AGAIN!'

His mind was in full chaos mode. This wasn't just defeat. This was humiliation.

'Why does this always happen?! Why do I keep falling for her traps?! Am I cursed?! Is this my fate?!'

His eye twitched as he stared at the evil little gremlin still laughing in his lap. Loli, that adorable menace, had outsmarted him once again.

And to make things worse, she was enjoying it! The sparkle in her eyes, the way she smacked his chest in amusement—she was basking in his suffering!
