Her golden eyes flicked to me for clarification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I thought you already gave them plenty of time last night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that's a bit embarrassing to admit, sister Alice,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liyana giggled, tapping a finger against her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But darling here focused exclusively on me yesterday. So naturally, he now has to make amends for ignoring the other sisters~ Which means,\" she added with a teasing lilt, \"you might not get to join tonight's little night party—unless, of course, the other girls give you permission~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's still banned,\" Rose stated immediately, crossing her arms without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha—Why!?\" Alice whined, her expression twisting in protest. \"I held back quite a lot yesterday, you know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn't matter,\" Rose said flatly. \"Riley hasn't given us any alone time yet. So, you're still not invited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's unfair… R-Right, Snow?\" Alice turned pleadingly toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow hesitated for a moment, but then gave a small, apologetic smile. \"I'm sorry, Alice… but I agree with Rose on this one. Please let us have our time with Riley first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"B-But…!\" Alice's voice trembled slightly as she looked between the girls and then at me, clearly feeling wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed inwardly, watching the dynamic unfold in front of me like a battlefield of emotions disguised as sisterly banter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice looked at me, her golden eyes filled with a silent plea—as if begging for some divine intervention on her behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I quietly averted my gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry, my love… but promises are promises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew I could step in and smooth things over, but I'd already given my word to Rose and Snow earlier this morning. I'd promised to give them tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Alice,\" I said gently. \"But I already promised Snow and Rose I'd give them some love tonight. That said, you're still welcome to stay in the house—we've got plenty of guest rooms available.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice's hopeful expression faltered. \"C-Can't I just… join in?\" she asked, her voice small and hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It'd be unfair to your sisters, right?\" I replied with a soft smile, trying to be as diplomatic as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's…\" Alice trailed off with a frustrated sigh before shaking her head in resignation. \"Alright, fine. I guess… I do need to be fair to the others too…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose gave her a sidelong glance, a faint smirk playing on her lips. \"Hm. I guess your heart's bigger than you let on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's that supposed to mean? My heart has always been generous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Considering how highly and obviously you brag about your time with Riley, I didn't think that was the case,\" Rose replied calmly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—I never exaggerated anything!\" Alice huffed, flustered. \"A-And it might be boasting, but it's all true! And Riley is just—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, we get it,\" Rose cut her off, her smirk widening. \"We're about to experience it ourselves soon, so be a good, experienced, understanding older girl and wait patiently for your next turn, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fufu~ We might keep him until morning,\" Snow chimed in with her usual soft smile. \"So please don't interrupt us too early, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice opened her mouth to protest again—but then just pouted and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Was this really friendly banter between girls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought these three had already started getting along, but now I wasn't so sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again… maybe this was how they bonded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp clap echoed through the room as Liyana brought her hands together, gently pulling away from Lavine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny creature yelped—once again caught mid-escape by Snow's firm but gentle hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry to interrupt, sisters,\" Liyana said with a sheepish smile, standing up and brushing her dress down, \"but I think I should get going now. It's getting pretty late, and Papa might get just a teeny bit more worried if I show up even later than I already promised…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see… take care, Liyana. I'll see you tomorrow,\" Snow said kindly, giving her a soft smile as she cradled Lavine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come visit again,\" Rose added, glancing at the clock. \"Preferably in the evening. You know… when Riley's most vulnerable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha~ See you soon, Liyana!\" Alice waved cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liyana giggled and spun slightly on her heel, giving them all a playful wink. \"Bye for now, sisters! And Darling—\" she turned to me, finger pointed with a teasing grin, \"Make sure you give them the same amount of love you gave me, alright? Maybe not more than mine, but just enough~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" Rose interrupted immediately, eyes narrowing in mock offense. \"Riley will give us more than what he gave you. That's his payment for ignoring us yesterday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't really think it works that way…\" I mumbled under my breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls all chuckled—lighthearted, but still competitive in that strange, dangerous way only they knew how to manage. Liyana turned toward the door, her long hair swaying behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just before she could take a step out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\" I reached out and gently took her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused and looked back at me with a curious blink. \"Hm~? That's rare of you, Darling… are you trying to be romantic again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave her a half-smile and scratched the back of my neck. \"Yeah, well… I guess I'm not usually the type to give gifts, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beside me, I picked up one of the boxes I'd prepared and carefully opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft lighting in the room caught the delicate silver of the necklace inside, its small gemstone centerpiece glinting like a captured star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Turn around for a second?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liyana's eyes widened with surprise, but she nodded eagerly and turned her back to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair shifted to the side as I gently lifted the necklace over her shoulders and fastened it around her neck, letting my fingers brush softly against her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darling… this is…\" she whispered, reaching up to touch the pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just thought… I never really gave you—or the other girls—anything. I figured it's about time I changed that. So… do you like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I like it!\" she beamed, immediately turning around and throwing her arms around me. \"It's beautiful, Darling. I love it… and I really, really love you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yeah…\" I stammered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell? Am I… flustered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just seeing her that happy—seeing her eyes sparkle and her smile bloom like that—was enough to make my heart pound louder than I expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the gazes of the other girls silently resting on me—curious, hopeful—I gave them a small smile. \"Of course,\" I said warmly, \"I got necklaces for all of you, too. Your own set.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a collective pause. Relief washed over their faces—genuine and subtle, but there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Liyana, who had just received hers, looked like she was about to say something, but instead stopped herself and simply smiled as I stepped past her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I made my way over to the others and gently opened the remaining boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, I placed their necklaces around their necks with the same care I gave to Liyana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet warmth filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions shifted as they each touched the center gem on their necklace—colorless, for now, but carefully cut and polished like a drop of starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I wore mine too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A set meant to be shared—between all of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I need to buy Seo the same necklace as well…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Riley… this is…\" Snow whispered, fingers brushing over the smooth stone, her voice soft with wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks… pretty,\" Rose murmured, her eyes not leaving the way the pendant rested against her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe~\" Meanwhile, Alice was simply giggling—almost like a child given her favorite candy—as she kept poking at hers and letting it swing back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different reactions… but somehow, all of them felt the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was thinking about making each of your necklaces unique,\" I admitted, stepping back slightly. \"But then I figured… maybe it'd be better if they matched. Something shared, you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls all looked at me, listening quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And also… can you all gather around for a moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They obeyed, stepping closer and forming a small circle around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lavine who were at their clutches could finally breathe in relief…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were close enough, I raised my hand and gently released a small wave of mana into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colorless gemstones embedded in their necklaces suddenly shimmered—then one by one, they changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft blue light radiated from each gem, matching the color of my mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow pulsed faintly, almost like a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, the inside was a mana stone?\" Rose asked, holding hers up for a closer look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty much,\" I nodded. \"But it's more than just that. It's attuned to sync with a specific mana signature. When you think of the person who gave their mana to the stone, it reflects their mana color.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words,\" I added with a soft smile, \"your necklaces will glow blue whenever you're thinking about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surprise on their faces turned into laughter, smiles, and a mix of playful teasing and genuine emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see… so right now, all of us are thinking about you, Darling?\" Liyana said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess so....\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose arched an eyebrow. \"Then isn't this… quite the convenient device to monitor our hearts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" I blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls all exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence passed between them, and then—they nodded. In perfect, unspoken agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay still, Riley,\" Snow said suddenly, her expression shifting ever so slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Snow? What do you mean by—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, girls!\" she called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could react, their hands shot forward in perfect sync, each pressing against my chest or shoulder as they poured mana into the gem at the center of my necklace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue glow flickered—then burst into a kaleidoscope of color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White, Golds, Silvers, Red—all blending together for an instant before calming into a quiet, glowing warmth that pulsed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There,\" Alice said with a mischievous smile. \"Now yours glows with all of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh… I wasn't expecting that, I guess Riley thinks about us all at the same time hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" Rose smirked. \"Now he won't forget who's always thinking about him as well make sure to think about us all the time, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fufu~ this make things a bit more fair, doesn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fair, and now we'll know if your necklace ever stops glowing,\" Snow added, eyes narrowing playfully. \"So… don't forget about us, Riley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"R-Right…\" I chuckled nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great. I've basically given them a magical mood ring that reports my emotional fidelity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still… as they all smiled around me, laughing and teasing, I couldn't help but smile too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all looked at me and smiled...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you Riley!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you Darling~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you Riley~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck... I can't hold back my smile....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...
