Seven Sins System Chapter 296. I'm Just A Human

I took a step closer, my tone teasing. "Besides, you barged into my room unannounced. Shouldn't you be the one explaining yourself?"

Her shoulders tensed, and she finally turned to face me, her gaze meeting mine with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. "I… Well, it's not like I intended to see you like this," she muttered, her words a mix of defensiveness and exasperation.

I laughed, shaking my head. "Fair enough. Next time, I'll be sure to wear a three-piece suit to bed, just in case." Aria's eyes narrowed at my sarcastic remark, and I grinned.

"You!" Aria's voice carried a mix of annoyance and embarrassment as she pouted, her cheeks still tinged with a blush. It was clear she was flustered by the situation, but she couldn't bring herself to turn and face me directly.

I let out a chuckle at her reaction, finding her pout utterly adorable. "So why did you come here?" I asked, my tone shifting to something more serious.

Aria's response was immediate and exasperated. "Wear your clothes first, then we'll talk!" she retorted, her annoyance evident in her voice.

I glanced down at myself, my pajama pants and the bare expanse of my chest. "I already wear my clothes," I replied, raising an eyebrow.

She turned toward me, only to be met with the sight of my half-naked torso. A split second later, she spun around again, her face flushed with embarrassment. "You said it was already wearing clothes?" she questioned, her voice a mixture of incredulity and frustration.

I sighed, a hint of amusement in my expression. "Yes, I did. Why? This is a normal outfit for a human. Plus, it's a bit hot in here," I explained, my arms outstretched as if to emphasize my point.

Aria's shoulders hunched, and I could practically feel the weight of her irritation. "It's not about whether it's normal or not. It's about… never mind," she muttered, her voice trailing off as she struggled to find the right words.

I bit back a grin, enjoying the back-and-forth banter despite the underlying seriousness of the situation. "Alright, alright. I'll put on a shirt," I conceded, trying to hide my amusement at her flustered state.

As I pulled on a nearby shirt, I could feel Aria's gaze on me, though I doubted she was looking directly. Once I was dressed, I cleared my throat, ready to refocus on the matter at hand. "Now that I'm appropriately clothed, why don't you tell me what brought you here in such a hurry?" I asked, my tone more measured this time.

Aria turned around, her face still a little pink. Her eyes met mine, and for a moment, I saw a flicker of uncertainty before determination settled in. "It's about the thread of fate," she began, her voice more composed now.

I leaned against a nearby surface, giving her my full attention. "What's that?" I pretended, ready to listen to whatever revelation she had to share about the threads that bound us together.

"It's a thread that bound our fate together," Aria began to explain, her words carrying a weight that made my heart skip a beat.

I blinked. "Huh," I let out a dumbfounded sound, furrowing my brows as if I didn't quite comprehend what she was saying. It was a classic move on my part, a way to mess with her.

Clearly irritated, Aria grabbed my wrist, her touch unexpected but not unwelcome. "This!" she exclaimed, her frustration palpable.

I looked at my wrist, only to find that the thread of fate we had just been discussing was no longer visible, leaving no trace behind. "What?" I asked.

In response, Aria grabbed my other hand, checking it as if hoping to find the thread wrapped around my other wrist. But her search came up empty, and her expression shifted from annoyance to shock. "How come?" she muttered to herself, her voice a mixture of disbelief and concern.

"I don't understand," I replied, feigning ignorance, even though the weight of the situation was sinking in.

Aria's gaze bore into mine, her eyes filled with a mixture of frustration and determination. "It should be you. It can't be anyone else," she insisted, her voice carrying a conviction that I couldn't ignore.

I frowned, my confusion genuine as I met her gaze. "What are you talking about?" I asked, my tone a mix of frustration and curiosity. I had a feeling I knew where this conversation was headed, but I needed her to say it out loud, to confirm my suspicions.

There was a pause, a moment of silence that seemed to stretch between us. Aria's eyes never left mine, her gaze unflinching, and in that moment, I could see a storm of emotions churning beneath the surface. Then, she blinked, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears, and disappointment settled onto her features.

I cringed inwardly at the sight. Seeing her face clouded with disappointment was funny, yet here we were, entangled in a truth that couldn't be escaped.

"What happened to you?" I asked again, my voice softer now. There was a vulnerability in her eyes, a glimpse of pain that she was struggling to conceal.

"I really wish it's you..." Aria's voice trembled with disappointment, her words hanging heavy in the air between us.

"You mean?" I asked, pretending that I didn't fully grasp what she was trying to say, though the truth was already beginning to take shape in my mind.

Aria took a deep breath, her gaze holding mine as if she was searching for something there. "I wish you were my fated couple," she confessed, her words sincere and raw.

I raised an eyebrow, a mix of curiosity and tension filling the space between us. "But I'm just a human," I replied with a shrug, attempting to sound indifferent, though her revelation had certainly piqued my interest.

Aria's gaze didn't waver, her eyes steady as she met my gaze head-on. "Yes, you are. But it doesn't matter to me. I want to be with you. Because I've always thought of you as El," she admitted, her words laying bare the depth of her feelings.
