Upon hearing that, Luna froze for a moment… but after a while, she turned back and asked, “…Tell me. Who am I to you?”
The question clearly caught Neal off guard, and since he couldn’t give a response, Luna couldn’t help but smirk wryly as she added, “…Seems like I’m still just a fuck toy to you, huh? It’s fine, then. We’ll just remain fuck buddies.”
Her words naturally pissed Neal off even more! What the hell did she take him as?! Despite his murderous aura, Luna simply ignored him and headed downstairs… But just as she opened the door, she felt Neal’s hand on her shoulder.
Neal himself was just about to say something… when suddenly, he took a step back! Wondering what was wrong with him, Luna’s eyes quickly widened when she saw a dagger flying straight at the spot that Neal was just in…! What the hell?! The assailant… It was Joe!
Though pale with fright, Luna quickly shook her head before glaring at Joe as she yelled, “W-what do you think you’re doing?!”
“That bastard isn’t worthy of you…! I won’t let him have you!” roared the infuriated man as he lunged at Neal with another dagger!
Watching as the deranged man began slicing wildly at him, the unarmed Neal did his best to dodge all the attacks… and when the opportunity presented itself, he managed to kick Joe in the back! Alas, it took him a second to realize that Joe was now hurtling toward Luna, dagger still in hand!
Gritting his teeth, Neal bolted forward… and a mere second after hugging Luna tightly, the dagger met its mark.
The dagger had plunged into Neal’s back, and upon noticing that, the horrified Luna yelled, “W-why…?! What were you thinking…?!”
“It’s… Fine… As long as you’re safe…”
