"Mimi…" Zaen croaked, blood draining from his face. "What did you just do?"
Mimi tilted her head innocently.
"The ceremony must proceed. After all, you accepted my proposal."
"I did NOT accept—!"
"You offered me your hand," she said.
"When did I…?" Zaen mumbled as his mind drifted to what had happened moments ago. "I didn't offer you my hand! I did it to stop you two from attacking one another—!"
"Spoke like a true husband, see, woman, he already cares about me," Mimi smirked, the first bit of emotion she showed. "Besides, that's how Cho family courtships traditionally begin. First, we fight outside the bedroom, and then inside."
"WHO STARTS A MARRIAGE WITH ASSAULT?!"
"Sister… what did you do!? That ring—"
Zaen glared at him. "Just the hell up, you fucking pig bastard, before I roast you and feed you to the anomalies! This is all your goddamn fault!"
Not wanting to be turned into a javelin next, Ben backed away, crawling with his elbows.
