I Told My Stepbrother to Kidnap His Crush, So He Kidnapped Me Chapter 06

“Why not?”

He didn’t give a reason. Just repeated, “You’re not going on a date with another guy.”

He was so mad. Probably because his crush wouldn’t date him, and he couldn’t stand seeing me get a date.

He clearly hadn’t taken my advice.

I sighed, all serious. “Look, just go kidnap your crush already. You’re clearly down bad.”

He narrowed his eyes. “Down bad?”

I nodded silently.

Yes. Definitely.

That’s why he was snapping at me. He used to be so even-tempered.

Long story short, we fought. I guess I hit a nerve. He’d never had a girlfriend. Finally liked someone. She didn’t like him back.

That’s textbook down bad.

And meanwhile, I was about to go out with my crush. Better to stay out of his sight.

I avoided him. Even living in the same penthouse, we didn’t see each other.

Saturday came.

I got dressed, checked myself in the mirror at the entryway for a few minutes, then left.

I texted Tyler. No reply. Probably on the bus. People get dizzy looking at their phones in the car.

I put my phone away.

When I got to the theater, he still hadn’t replied. Weird. Wasn’t today the day?

I checked our messages. Yes, definitely.

The movie was about to start. I’d miss the opening.

Whatever. I’ll watch it alone. Watching with someone or watching alone—same experience.

This low-budget crime movie was surprisingly good. I got sucked in.

About halfway through, someone sat down next to me.

I smelled something faint and floral.

Suddenly, I got sleepy. Weird. The movie was so good. Why was I tired?

I tried to focus.

The movie was at its climax.

They were about to reveal the killer.

Who was it?

Who—

Everything went black.

When I woke up, I stared at the ceiling.

Still thinking about the killer.

Oh my god, who was it?

Then I realized—if I fell asleep, I shouldn’t be in the theater.

Where was I?
