~ Chapter 30.2 ~

 

When will my cool off be filled up? I was on the verge of a stomach ache after staying up all night.

I mean, my role, who was in charge of the main paperwork, is going to become more important this season. Even if there was no grace period, I would go down to the estate and suck honey, but it was a pity.

If it weren’t for the team leader.

Even though I was gritting my teeth, it soon turned into a complaint.

This is unfair. I worked hard for no reason, so my stomach was empty and hungry.

“I feel like home-cooked food is the best. I want to eat home cooked food. Topped with soybean paste stew, rice, golden fried egg, and top pickled…”

I’ll live a good life, so please let me eat Korean food again.

I can’t forget the taste because I’m Korean to the bone. Crying.

“What is she saying?”

Meichel freaked out and retorted to me, mumbling against the chair head with a distorted face.

The keyword she focused on was ‘greasy’ rather than soybean paste stew.

“Gasp.”

Meichel, who opened her eyes wide belatedly, came out and opened her mouth. What did you imagine?

“You, you! If you throw up here, I’ll leave you alone. Remember, this is a public place!”

“This ungrateful girl… I know that too, ok?”

“No. You might not know what you did previously. You also said weird things which I already forgot, and threw up intentionally! You even said, ‘You clean it up.’”

I glared at her.

You know me very well.…?

“Anyway, get a hold of yourself, Rose, if you’re having a hard time, I’ll at least give you some comfort, so tell me. Because I’m full of cool off powers.”

“Don’t be so kind. It gets scary.”

My funeral isn’t today.

“If you don’t like it, say so! Why are you picking a fight with me?

“…Pfft.”

When I saw her trembling as if she would jump up, I burst into laughter.

I thought I heard it wrong. What kind of kindness Meichel gives, everything is going on in my life.

“No, thank you for saying that. I just wanted to tease you like I always did.“

“Are you kidding, Rose Lutiens?”

“I know. You’re annoyed because you gave me medicine and sickness. I’m sorry.”

“Gave me a disease and medicine… What?

“No, I’m just saying.”

She murmured, twitching the corners of her mouth.

Why are you picking a fight with me? Maybe I’ve become nicer?

The kid who didn’t even talk about healing me for three years. What kind of wind blew in to show mercy like this?

I have finished all the work that has been given to me, so I am completely free from now on.

After signing the check-out, I took off my uniform coat and said.

“Meichel. I wonder why you’re so nice to me these days. Do you really not hate me quitting my job?”

“Why, what? When did you ask that question now? No way!”

“Okay. If not, then alright.”

Accepting the expression of resentment familiarly, I passed Meichel. Now that the festival day has come, the schedule of the team members was one of the two.

You can relax alone in the dormitory, or go out and play to enjoy a festival.

I chose the former two years ago and last year. Because time alone is precious.

Looking back on that time, I remember enjoying as much relaxation as a grasshopper in a spacious and pleasant accommodation for talented people.

But this time, I couldn’t.

……Now the fun days are over. Please take care, my past.

“Rose, are you going to go to the festival?”

“No.”

“Do you want to hang out with our young Fernando Ishid?”

“No. I’m fine, so go and have fun.”

I have a previous appointment. I stood in front of the door swallowing tears inside. I could see a shadow outward without opening it.

Oh, I heard tigers come when I say something. Someone was standing in front of it!

‘Carlos.’

How sooner had you finished your work, you were the first to come and finish. He was truly a great person in many ways.

After a few deep breaths, I carefully pulled the doorknob to open the door.

“O, oh.”

However, as soon as I opened it, my body tilted forward and faltered.

This is crazy. I’m 100% going to fall! In a moment, my head was full of embarrassment.

But the moment I fell down in front of the navy uniform, which was within reach of me, a hard force held me.

Subsequently, a low voice resonated in the ear.

“… Are you okay?”

“….”

“I was surprised that you might fall.”

I raised my head. As expected, the same embarrassed face as I had, filled his vision.

The bangs that were lightly shaken by shock. A slightly bigger violet eye. Further from that is his small open lips.

Naturally, I tried to see his neckline, but I had to endure it and get out of his arms like an arrow.

“Where did you get hurt…?”

“Ye, yes! I’m fine!”

I was so surprised that I only looked at the floor and answered.

To be honest, there was also a slight stab in my conscience. Because I swallowed dry saliva unconsciously.

It was a short moment, but my whole body was shocked.

Wow. That was really dangerous.

‘Why can’t this be solved easily?’

I should say thank you for saving me.

I almost shouted ‘I love you’ instead of ‘Thank you’, because his appearance was outstanding today.

But it’d be our first date in a long time, so we can’t break our promise.

I kept as calm as possible and organized my messy hair.

I quickly closed the door to avoid Meichel’s eyes asking wondering what’s going on.

It was a perfect summary of the situation.

“It’s hot. My face is red because I bumped into him.”

“….”

Although the one opposite me had an disorganized face.

Carlos, who carefully examined my face, opened his eyes thinly.

Where did the surprised look go, and a unique bright smile came up around his mouth?

Oh. That’s not good enough.

“Or do you feel the same way as me because we’re on a date? I think the latter would make me very happy.”

“… I didn’t say anything yet.”

“Then what’s the point? Your face is telling me everything.”

I was trying to respond in anger, but I’m speechless at his words.

While walking diligently to the exit, there was a buzzing sound once in a walked.

My face? Did it get that red?

Thanks to Carlos, who saved me, both of my cheeks heated up. Exactly, there may be a reason for his ridiculous beauty.

It was lost for a moment but somehow Carlos’s attitude toward me loosened a lot than before.

Speaking informally is a common occurrence when the two of us are together, but today I remember the first meeting at the Wonsan birthday party.

An attitude that doesn’t seem to have any tension.

It felt like a long time ago to lead any conversation flexibly.

‘Is it because I allowed him to go on a date with me?’

It was definitely since then, right? He couldn’t answer easily, but eventually I said yes, so Carlos didn’t let go of my hand for a long time with a moved face.

“Thank you.”

“What?”

“Honestly, I was surprised. I was fully prepared to be rejected.”

I could feel the sincerity in his words and actions.

Since then, everything came to its original place due to team members returning to their work. However, if hadn’t for that, she might not be released from his grasp.

I just had a big reason not to get involved with Elchevita. As expected, his feelings seemed to go deeper.

Of course, I felt that I couldn’t refuse more clearly because I knew that fact.

What is certain is that Carlos has such a great affinity for me that I have given up some hope.

The original novels have already changed by not dying.

And Carlos, the male protagonist, is currently an invincible fan of me, not Elchevita.

If it wasn’t for the latter, I could sneak away and build a house alone and eat well and live well.

I’m afraid I haven’t been deprived of my ability yet, and I’m around Carlos.

“Isn’t the sky pretty? The barrier is shaped like a rose.”

“Oh, you’re right. It’s not your power, right?”

“Why do you think it’s not true?”

“… Huh?

He changed his uniform to plain clothes.

In the middle of the noisy festival street, a man smiles brightly at me.

I told a light joke, but it was a heavy truth that returned.

“It’s a gift. I asked you out on purpose to show you this.”

“….”

“Of course, don’t get me wrong. Even if it wasn’t for that reason, I would have asked Miss out the same way.”

Two people, a man and woman who only looked at each other under delicate rose patterns of the sky.

I didn’t take my eyes off of it as if possessed and fell into trouble.

‘This is bad.’

Even if the day comes when I am confident enough to go into a relationship with him, it would be difficult since it’d be a long distance relationship if I quit my job. Then, what should I do?
