Chapter : 79 : Jin And Kaiya!

(This sweet and playful arc between Jin and Kaiya takes place one year before the events of Yoru and Aira's story—a time when the complexities of the battle royal and the chaos surrounding it were yet to unfold.)

As the warmth of their earlier confession lingered, Jin leaned back on the sofa, his teasing grin as sharp as ever. Kaiya, still nestled comfortably against his shoulder, could already sense the mischief brewing. She sighed, knowing exactly where this was heading.

"You know," Jin started, his tone light and full of playful intent, "for someone who's perfectly fine kissing me every time we merge, you sure do turn into a tomato when I kiss you just because I want to."

Kaiya tilted her head up to glare at him, her violet eyes narrowing even as her cheeks flushed. "That's because those kisses are different, Nii-chan!" she retorted, her voice tinged with both indignation and shyness.
