64 – A Momentary Break (7)

After the story, we continued our meal with a lighter look on our faces.

I didn’t expect Yulia to eat 3 plates of her steak.

“I’m not very hungry today.”

I wonder if I misunderstood the words at the moment, I was mistaken.

As an adult male, I was so full from one plate.

Even so, I was fed up with the way he licked his lips in regret.

Could it be that even after eating that much, I wasn’t full?

“Eating three plates by myself.”

“On days when I was in a good mood, I ate five plates.”

Thanks to this, unexpected expenses increased.

At first she resented me for telling her that she would buy her food.

Unlike my lighter pockets, I went to the restaurant with a heavy heart.

Yulia only smiled brightly, not sure if she knew what was inside me or not.

“The dinner was fun. Next time we meet, I’ll buy it for you.”

“Yes. I’ll see you later.”

Julia walked to the other side of us with a grin and a smile.

After shaking her hand until the end and disappearing from sight, I was finally able to shake off the tension.

I left the restaurant with Colin feeling refreshed.

The woman who was next to her was exhausted or exhausted.

“I didn’t know that the commissioner would show up…”

She didn’t look like a bad person.

Rather, his easy-going attitude without pretense or bravado came to me as a charm.

Since he had a considerable position in the requesting office, he had a good relationship, so there was nothing bad about it.

Also, isn’t he Colin’s boss?

I am grateful enough for helping her to work at her commissioned office.

“Colin. Do you want to be the commissioner too?”

“Hmm… Actually, it must be difficult considering my position.”

Even a commoner living in a foreign country without parents could dream of becoming a commissioned director.

But it is literally just a dream.

It was a position too high for a mere commoner to dream of.

But Colin showed no signs of despair.

Rather, she clenched her fists with her confident voice.

“Still, I want to try it. Yulia-sama has also accomplished it.”

Will she be able to achieve her dream? It’s something no one knows.

She decided to support her in her heart though.

She had a hunch that, above all, if it was Colin, she would make a good commissioned director.

Since then, Colin and I have wandered around the capital.

Tailor shops and street stalls that you have never been to before. Even a street performance at the fountain.

Time passed in an instant.

Colin seemed to be having fun as well, laughing all the way through her streets.

When the sun was about to go down, I sent her off to her requesting place.

“Thank you. I received so many things today.”

“No. We’ll see each other often.”

“That’s right. From now on, I’ve become Seohyun-nim’s exclusive receptionist.”

This is a good thing in many ways.

The more I succeed in the request, the more Colin will be able to raise his performance and allowance, so it could be said to be mutual aid.

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

After saying goodbye to her, she turned away from her requesting office.

As I walked with my back to the evening sunset, the shadow stretched.

And the presence of people chasing me still hasn’t disappeared.

From noble mtl dot com

His gaze and steps were subtle enough to not be easily noticed.

Even Colin, who was with me all day, didn’t even notice.

Although I couldn’t even see the shadow, I already knew who the culprit was.

“Stop it and come out.”

“Yes. Here it is.”

Immediately, a voice came from behind me.

Erina walked out from behind a tree not far away.

She casually joined me next to me and crossed her arms.

She seemed to have no intention of hiding the fact that she had been tailing her anymore.

This morning, Erina has been following me since I went out on the street.

This is expected.

Until now, I have been with Erina and Kayla without a day off.

Sometimes you feel like you want to separate from the two of you.

That’s why she begged me several times to stay home and not follow her around.

But as for Erina, she was hanging by my side smiling as if she was drifting into the back of my ear.

But she didn’t expect that there would be one more person following her.

“I’m sorry…”

Kayla came closer to me with her hood tucked deeper than usual.

A bewildered expression was revealed through the robe.

Actually, I was only focusing on Erina, and I didn’t notice Kayla’s presence at all.

Nevertheless, as if I was mistaken for noticing it, she surrendered herself and jumped out.

It’s literally like catching a mouse while walking backwards.

“Kayla.”

“Yes, yes…!”

I couldn’t meet her eyes with her head bowed down.

She didn’t say anything about whether she knew what was wrong.

It means that you did it even though you knew it was wrong.

“Still, you believed in me.”

I let out a sigh.

Did Kyla naturally become colored after being with Erina?

“So why did you follow me?”

“Of course. I have to protect you.”

“Me, me too!”

As she spoke, Kayla’s head slowly went down.

Her doubts disappeared at her twin-like answer.

Once attention was drawn to it, it was difficult.

I hurriedly took the two of them to the inn.

Fortunately, no one looked at us strangely.

However, only deep silence filled the company.

Then a feeble hand touched my forearm.

“That, Seohyun. Let me talk for a moment…”

“Let’s go to the dorm and talk.”

It seems that Kyla also has a lot to say.

Likewise, I have a lot of thoughts.

Should I scold her and punish her?

Or should she just get over it and move on?

It was ambiguous to be angry just for the fact that he had been followed in the first place.

He didn’t commit any particular crime.

However, if things went smoothly, it might become a habit like Erina.

Even if it wasn’t, she wouldn’t have the confidence to handle it if Kayla joined in the midst of the daily life of being monitored every time.

I returned to the inn through the crowded streets, hiding my complicated feelings.

After briefly accepting the host’s greeting, I went into the lodging room.

Looking back, Kayla was still wearing her robe.

“Kayla.”

“Yes, yes!”

The tension-filled voice returned.

Looking back, Kayla was trembling like a student afraid of her punishment.

She decided to listen to the story first.

Her

Sat down in her chair and made her take her seat with her glance.

“First, tell me why you followed me.”

Could there be a special reason?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding.

I had a bit of faith.

“First of all, I’m putting Seohyun’s safety first.”

As soon as I heard her first words, I sighed.

In an instant, I had the illusion that Erina had said something.

I hoped no, but the answer came out of Kayla’s mouth.

As my complexion darkened, I must have realized that something was wrong, and my voice gradually lost confidence and shrank.

“I followed Seohyun to protect her… I know it’s wrong, but I just…”

“Okay. I see what you mean.”

I wondered if there was another reason, but in the end it worked as expected.

There was no point in continuing to listen to her.

Fortunately, I knew that tailing was the wrong thing to do.

She swallowed her saliva as her lips dried.

He tried to convince me with gibberish.

But Kayla made excuses for not understanding my heart.

A long sigh passed through the room.

What should I say? I chose to speak for a while.

After sorting out her complicated thoughts, she calmly opened her mouth.

“Don’t do that next time.”

I couldn’t scold her out loud, and I couldn’t just let it go.

For now, I decided to move on to light words.

“Yes. I understand…”

“From now on, tell me you’d rather follow me.”

“Well, then…”

“That doesn’t mean I’m giving you permission.”

At my words, he returned with a sullen expression.

One stalker following me was enough.

Above all, if Kyla were to change like Erina, she wouldn’t have the confidence to handle the two of them.

‘I hope Erina can feel something while watching it.’

Contrary to my wishes, Erina was lying peacefully on the bed.

As if it was someone else’s business, he yawned and went inside the futon.

By the way, the bed she lies on is mine.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m warming up my bed. It’s getting chilly these days, so I have to be careful not to catch a cold.”

I never caught a cold in the first place.

How can you catch a cold when there are always two people sharing body temperature?

Erina didn’t budge even when she tried to push her off the bed.

Rather, as if playing a joke, he grabbed my arm and hung on.

Her eyes were full of anticipation, like a puppy begging its owner to play with it.

If she had her tail, she wouldn’t have ruthlessly purred.

“Stop it now and come out.”

“Please come in too.”

I took the blanket and put it over Erina’s face.

Then she took the blanket from her and held me in her arms, holding me in her arms.

Kayla, who was watching this, said something in a voice that was barely audible.

“I’m just worried about my lord…”

At this point, she thought she would admit her mistake and move on.

However, her words dragged on as if she still felt resentment.

Tremors were visible under the tight-fitting robe.

With her fists clenched, she came to me and stopped Erina.

In an instant, the bodies of the two collided.

It’s a very subtle touch, but the response was obvious.

Erina’s round eye smile instantly sharpened.

“If you could listen to me for a minute…”

“Get out of the way.”

When there were signs of friction again, they hurriedly stopped the two.

I hate to admit it, but I guess I’ve gotten used to this situation.

A fight broke out over me.

Unusually, Kayla reacted emotionally.

The same goes for Erina.

Rather, she laughed at her opponent with a confident look.

Everyone knew who would win if there was a fight.

Even though Kayla had grown a lot, she was still not strong enough to beat Erina.

Seemingly upset by that, Kayla shook her head while biting her teeth.

“Stop both.”

The two held hands in a calm voice.

Fortunately, they both hid their energy and retreated, as if they didn’t want to cross the line.

It seems that I concluded the story too hastily.

Kayla still had something to say.

And she knew that when Erina was next to her, she couldn’t speak properly.

“Follow me, Kayla.”

“Where are you going… ?”

“Wait a minute. I have something to say to Kayla.”

After calming down Erina, who was about to follow, she led Kayla outside of her.

She followed me without a word.

For now, it’s best to keep the two apart.

It was an experience gained from numerous fights so far.

I came out of the room, trying to ignore the subtle tension.

Even so, the earnest gaze did not fall until the door was closed.
