Explaining

Violet and Alex are on the way home, riding a bus. Because, it's late, no one except them and the driver is inside the bus.

"So... What is Alice doing right now..." Viollete asked with laziness in her tones.

"ssshh...." Alex hissed at the thought. "She must be angry. I didn't reply to her messages or calls."

"Huuu... You're going to get in a lot of trouble..." Viollete teased her.

"Shut up... You will too! You are with me!!" She pushed my shoulders with a frown on her face.

I laughed. "Come on... I'm not the one who lives with her..."

"Ughhhh" Alex can't find anything to retort or to drag me into her problems.

"That's why I told you to hurry up and confess to her!!" I pat her back despite she is staring at me with a red face.

"Now that I think about it, why do you think I should tell her that I and her are not related? How can that fix our relationship?" She asked with visible confusion.

"..." At this moment, I realize that Alex still doesn't know that Alice actually has a crush on her. ' I thought we are on the same wavelength.' I sigh.

" I mean, you should confess that you actually romantically like her, especially after she knows you are not related...." I roll my eyes at her.

"Wha... WHAT!!! Me?? like HER!?" Alex babbled with a red face while looking at my wide eyes. "WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!?" She shouted.

"Ehem!! Is there any problem back there?" The bus driver asked out of nowhere.

"It's okay, Nothing bad is happening!!" Alex replied before looking at me again and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about!!!???"

"You have a crush on her, and she has a crush on you... Easy". I shrugged my shoulder.

"Wha!!!?? But she believes that I and her are blood-related, how can she has a crush on me!!! I know we aren't blood-related, but she doesn't!!!!" Alex whispered to me loudly.

I scoffed. "She cares about you more than a sister should. Of course, she won't break the taboo, because her feeling for you doesn't reach that kind of level yet."

"BUT, YOU SAID SHE HAS A CRUSH ON ME!!" Alex looks more and more confused.

"Are you okay back there!!?" The bus driver asked again.

"IT'S FINE!! WE ARE GOOD!!" Alex replied before changing her focus on me again.

"sigh... Let's say it like this." I let out a heavy sigh before explaining.

"let's say, every relationship has a certain degree, or limit. Friends have a certain limit, and family has a certain limit. For relationships between family, Alice has already reached her limit for you. But, the moment she knows that you are not related to her, her limits will surely change. " I explained." You just need to change her affection limit, and her feelings for you will change. "

" How can you be so sure? " Alex frowned.

" It's because I've lived longer than you... I will know... "

" Then, I will tell her, right away when we meet!!! " Alex looks more excited as she swears with a clenched fist.

I chuckle as I watch her excitement.

" ALICE!!! WE ARE NOT BLOOD-RELATED!! AND I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU!! WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND!!!!"

This is the scene that Viollete first sees Alex doing the moment they both see Alice in front of her house.

Viollete - "..."

The Ball- [.....]

Alex's system - [...]

Alice - "..."

"The fuck kind of drug are you taking!!??" Alice who is being held against the wall by Alex blushed the moment she processed Alex's statement.

"That's not it Alice, I've liked you, I just realized this, but, I've fallen in love with you, the moment I know we are not related by blood !!!" Alex confesses again without missing a heartbeat. " It's love at first sight!!!"

Alice blushed become more visible to the naked's eyes as she looks at Alex with her eyes wide open.

" How come we are not related by blood!!!! And what makes you think that I will have feelings for you!!!" Alice tried to push Alex away, but, seems like, Alex is stronger and will not budge at all.

"It's because my real father is not your father!!! My mother has affairs with men outside and making it looks like I'm actually your father's child, in fact, I'm not!!!! We are at most, stepsister without blood relationship !!!!" Alex explained without any blush on her face.

" And, Viollete said you have a crush on me!!! "

This time, Alex drags Viollete into her problems.

Alice stares at Viollete with wide eyes.

" Don't drag me into this, let's talk inside my house... " I sigh before unlocking the door of my house and invite the two love birds in denial to enter.

They both enter the house hand in hand. Despite Alice's mouth keep scolding Alex, she didn't struggle when her hand was pulled to enter the house.

The three of them sit in the living room in silence for a few minutes.

Alex is the first person to break the silence.

"ALSO, I'M ACTUALLY A GIRL!!!! MY MOTHER DISGUISED ME AS A BOY SO THAT WE CAN ENTER YOUR HOUSE!!!"

*BOOOOMMM!!!!! *

Alice looks like her brain got a shot circuit and smoke coming out of her head from too much information in one night.

First, she was told that Alex is not related to her, then Alex told her that he actually liked her, and then, suddenly, Alex is not a he, but she!!!??

And then she passed out.

"I knew this would happen..." I sigh when I look at Alice's unconscious face.

Alex quickly holds Alice in her arm while glaring at me. "You said I should be honest with her!!!!"

"Yeah, but there's the step when telling people some big secrets. You are basically throwing a bomb on her face like this!!!" Viollete just sighs. "Anyway, there are only two rooms in my house. One is my room, and the other is my grandmother's room. Both of you can go to the latter." Viollete waves her hand as if to shoo them away.

"Ah... Okay!" Alex nodded before carrying Alice who is still unconscious in her arm towards her grandmother's room. She looks at them disappearing before going up to her room to sleep.

Viollete will not know until the next morning that Alex and Alice will make out in her grandma's room all night.
