The allure of the twin brothers showing interest, nurtured through shared years at the Rose Estate, left you feeling flattered. After all, who hasn't dreamed about having admirers as devoted as them?

Pinocchio was the first to take notice of you. Carlo found out about this and was initially inclined to tease his younger brother. It was fueled by his desires and the fact that he could playfully assert his influence.

Carlo embodied the epitome of contrast — boisterous and sassy, catching your attention with his charisma and daily gifts. Yet, the moment you found yourselves alone, a swift transformation occurred. A subtle blush adorned his pale cheeks, he was unable to contain the awe that enveloped him in your presence.

Pinocchio remains remarkably calm, seemingly indifferent to the events unfolding around him. However, there is a notable exception — his demeanor shifts when it comes to you. When his dainty hands touched around your waist, and his lips softly slid over the skin of your cheeks, it was as if the air was blocked by something invisible. Indeed, he idolizes you.

Their love for you was as unmistakable as the clear sky above.

Within your surroundings, the calming fragrance of roses enveloped you, revealing its scarlet origin as the flowers came into view at the periphery of your sight. A subtle rustling of pages prompted you to close the book, curiosity piqued as you sought to identify which of the twins was present. The mingling aroma of coffee and roses offered a subtle clue. Of course, it was Carlo.

“Good morning, my love,” Carlo’s face was close, affection was visible in his amber eyes, which he did not try to hide.

“Your love? What makes you think so, brother?” Pinocchio's hands assertively seized your waist, pulling you back, an air of jealousy surrounding him. Leaning in, he rested his chin on your shoulder with a mischievous grin, playfully murmuring, “Mine.”

Pinocchio's scent was reminiscent of refreshing mint candy.
