Soleil spottedand shouted, “I see you, Taylor! 0-M-G, you guys are dating! | gotcha red-handed!”
| was speechless
Soren must've realized there was no reason to keephidden anymore. He aimed the camera at me.
| waved at Soleil. “Yo, Sol. Do you have any idea just how viral you've gone? You've got mad skills on the violin
and harp!”
Sure, my real intention was to change the subject, but Sole wasn’t about to let that slide.
“So, the two of you decided to get together as soon as | wasn’t around! What did he do to make you say yes?”
she questioned.
“No, this isn’t what you think!” | protested awkwardly. “We're just having dinner together!”

“Ask your brother, then!” | replied.
“Ren, is she telling the truth, or is this a lie?! Are the two of you still stuck in the hell of ambiguity?!” she
demanded.
Soren smiled and sighed loudly. “Well, | don’t think so, but it really depends on what Taylor thinks. If she says it's
not, so be it.”
What?! | glared at him, protesting, “We are just having dinner together! As friends!”
Soleil laughed. “You're unreal, Taylor. You somehow resist throwing your arms around a certified hunk like my
brother! You're not even the one trying to charm him-he’s trying to charm you! God, what a flex!”

“She’s always been wild, doing whatever she wants. My parents can’t control her. So, | had to be the bad cop
growing up.”
| remembered Soleil’s complaints about her brother and chuckled.
“So, that’s why she kept talking about how severe you are. She's not afraid of anyone except you!” | joked. ”
Sounds like a comic trope: The only person who can lord overis my older sibling!“”
Soren laughed and raised an eyebrow. “What do you think? Am | severe to you?”
| looked away. “Con, | don’t really know you that well,
| remembered the aura he'd radiated in his office when I first showed up. His subordinates had looked pale,
drenched in sweat, and Soren hadn’t even seemed bothered just a frown on his face.
But when he was with me, he was always so gentle and kind
Which side was the real him? Or were both sides just different facets of him? A man and his duality?
