Zinnia bent down, thinking about how Jackson had helped Yannis earlier. She grabbed Yannis’s hand, draped it over her shoulder, and then firmly gripped his wrist, getting ready to haul him up.

Being petite, it was no easy feat for Zinnia to help up Yannis, a man over six feet tall in his drunken state. “Yannis, can you try to stand? Let me help you back to your room, okay?” Zinnia coaxed, her voice gentle and pleading.

Fortunately, Yannis had snapped out of his earlier mood. His eyes rolled slightly as he processed her words with a drunken delay. Then, leaning on Zinnia for support, he slowly got to his feet.

Suddenly, Yannis muttered in a low, sulky voice, “Why do you treat Jackson so well? Why did you let Maisie kiss you before?”

His questions, which seemed to come out of nowhere, left Zinnia momentarily stunned. But considering that he was drunk, she still answered patiently, “Because Jackson is my family. And he has always been very kind to

me.

“Maisie is my good friend, and she is also very kind to me. She kissed me because she likes me.”

Yannis replied, “I am your good friend, too. Don’t let her kiss you. I am better to you than they are. I want to be your family, too.”

Zinnia replied helplessly, “Of course, we are friends. And I treat you like my brother. So basically, you are my family, too.”

Yannis said, “I don’t want to be your brother. Jackson is your brother. I want to be more than that. You must treat me better than you do them.”

Zinnia was speechless for a moment. She thought, ‘Seriously? Is this even the Yannis I know? How come he becomes so unreasonable and stubborn when he’s drunk?

‘Didn’t Jackson say that we don’t need to mind him when he’s drunk, and that he’ll be fine after a good sleep? Does this level of fussiness look like someone who doesn’t need to be taken care of?‘

Yannis pressed further, “Promise you will treat me better. Promise you will never leave me.”
