Primordial Soul's Rebirth.

CHAPTER 6 - Misunderstanding.

"Alex left without saying anything."

Alice thought to herself as she arrived at the orphanage to spend time with her brother. She couldn't understand why he would suddenly disappear without a word.

She considered the possibility that he may have been bullied in her absence, but after questioning those she suspected, she still couldn't find any answers.

Despite not being the brightest, Alice was determined to find out what had driven her brother to leave.

As she searched for clues, she grew more and more frustrated, especially when she discovered he had blocked her number. She couldn't understand why he would shut her out, knowing how much she cared for him.

Feeling hurt and abandoned, Alice began to doubt if she was truly special to him. Her anger only grew as she continued her search, but finally, her subordinate informed her of Alex's whereabouts.

Though still furious, Alice decided to confront him and demand answers for his sudden disappearance.

It was only then that a strange thought suddenly emerged in her mind - Did he love her?

She didn't know why it appeared, but it did anyway, and it made her anger dissipate as she started thinking about this topic.

As she made her way to his home, she couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, wondering what his response would be when she finally confronted him about his actions.

She thought of him as a little brother to protect, not as a man who would protect her. How could she imagine that her little brother could be someone she would have a romantic interest in?

She knew her brother was very handsome. No, to her, he was the most handsome man in the world (the old Alex, not the new one, as he really is the most handsome man in the world), but she could only see Alex as her brother, at least the Alex she knew.

But then she threw these thoughts away as she could not find anything to prove this thought of hers right. She just thought that it was a random thought that appeared in her mind, how could she have known that it was just the plot that made that thought enter her mind?

When she arrived at the location provided by her subordinate, she found the door locked, but she knew the room belonged to him as she had verified it with the building owner. She waited there for at least half an hour, growing impatient.

Then, she saw someone approaching. She could tell he was very handsome, perhaps second only to her brother, even with a mask on.

He had shoulder-length, dense, ink-black hair and dark red eyes like her brother, albeit slightly darker. As he walked up to her, she realized his height was also similar to her brother's.

However, when he stood in front of the door to the room, not in front of her, she didn't need to be a genius to figure out that the person in front of her was her brother, not someone who just resembled him.

Her confusion was not unfounded, as he felt different from her; he was not like her brother. Her brother never had this strong, profound, seductive, or devilish aura around him.

He was just a normal guy with very handsome features. And even though he was not a pushover, he was also not someone who was this... big (Don't get the wrong meaning).

She struggled to find the right words to describe this feeling; it was as if she felt drawn to him and wanted to get to know him, but he seemed too imposing or grand for her to truly understand.

However, one thing remained the same – the lonely aura that surrounded him, though now it was less noticeable, she could still feel it.

Nonetheless, she gathered the courage to speak. "Alex?" she called out.
