Being absent-minded means being exposed to danger.

We cannot make quick and correct decisions with our weak reason.

If a dangerous situation arises, you cannot take correct action.

You may not be able to get out of a crisis that you would normally be able to get out of because you are out of your mind.

That’s why I always tried to keep my sanity.

No matter how comfortable I was, I set my guard up to the bare minimum.

We maintained our readiness to respond to any emergency situation that might arise.

People are human, so there were times when they couldn’t overcome their emotions or desires, but for the most part, they maintained that attitude.

That wasn’t the case just now.

My mind was so foggy that it was difficult to make quick and accurate decisions.

The body was soggy and unsuitable for reacting to sudden events.

My emotions were as soft as rice cake, so I wasn’t cool.

– Ouch!

‘Hi…!’

That spirit was broken all at once.

A tingling electric current went up my spine and penetrated my head.

The dizzying sensation did not end there, but spread evenly throughout the body as if flowing through the capillaries.

My back straightened automatically.

My body fluttered like a fish thrown onto land.

‘……!’

I reflexively suppressed the breath that was about to burst out. It was a kind of habit created by memories of suffering from the curse of silence.

Thanks to my habit, I didn’t feel the pain of my neck being ripped, but I couldn’t control my trembling body.

“Hey.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang from above my head.

It was Hong Yeon-hwa’s voice that made me relax.

…It was familiar, yet somehow different.

The voice was the same without any change.

But it seemed like something had changed in its contents. Not only the voice, but the overall momentum changed.

The warmth and warmth that had been crackling like a small fire… now seemed to be bubbling like lava on the verge of eruption.

I couldn’t understand the English text.

The spirit has just been awakened. I couldn’t remember the situation in front of me properly.

My last memory is of infusing the flame into the beacon sword.

‘ah.’

There I realized why this happened.

The reaction of fear is a heightened emotion.

There was already a lot of alcohol around, and the trusty Hong Yeon-hwa was by his side.

In addition, he dragged out countless swords to dye the beacon sword.

That’s probably why I lost my mind.

I remembered up to that point.

But I don’t know how I ended up like this.

I couldn’t keep up with the situation, so I covered my mouth.

and

“Who is Seoyul?”

At the sound of the name that came from Hong Yeon-hwa’s mouth, my heart immediately skipped a beat.

My body shook violently, my mouth opened and then closed tightly.

I searched my memory for a moment, but I didn’t hear anything wrong.

‘how…?’

Seoyul Lee.

Why did that name come out of Hong Yeon-hwa’s mouth?

Even now, Seoyul’s existence has not been made known to the outside world.

I created an identity, but it was not tied to me.

So far, the only people who have reported it are Professor Liana and Elia.

It was for safety.

From my limited intellect, there was nothing good to be gained from exposing Seoyul and I as being intertwined.

When I left the cradle in the 7th round, I realized the threat that had come because of the brief aggro of special admission.

As expected, the race is not human but fairy. As it is a rare species that has only been revealed to the public, it is best not to reveal its identity as much as possible.

So I hid it.

It is definitely safer than telling people.

He did not handle his identity carelessly and left it to Maxwell, who was a trustworthy character in the original work. The exact identity was not revealed to him either.

I had no intention of hiding it from Hong Yeon-hwa.

Anyway, we were close, but I didn’t want to make this a secret, and I knew that Hong Yeon-hwa wasn’t the kind of person who would harm Seo-yul.

However, at the time, I was unable to announce it due to lack of time and hesitation.

however.

Before even informing Hong Yeon-hwa, Seoyul’s name was mentioned first in her mouth.

For a moment, my head throbbed in shock. Where was the information leaked? Why are you asking me about Seoyul’s identity? Did you know that you are connected to me?

My heart was pounding. My hair, which was not smooth yet, was spinning tightly.

“…Okay. I’m not saying anything, right?”

[eww?]

It was then.

Just as I was organizing my messy hair, Hong Yeon-hwa suddenly gritted her teeth and stood up.

I, who was held in his arms, naturally joined him.

He was startled by the recoil and pulled the hand that was hugging Hong Yeon-hwa even tighter.

Hong Yeon-hwa glanced down at me with strange eyes and walked away while holding me.

The banquet hall, which was still crowded and cluttered, moved away. The steps were very fast. It was an instant to get away.

The night wind was blowing quite harshly.

It wasn’t cold thanks to the outerwear covering my body and the warm scarlet lotus flowers.

Before I knew it, I was approaching my family’s mansion.

The people standing guard on both sides of the main gate recognized Hong Yeon-hwa and bowed to her, but when they saw me in her arms, they trembled.

Hong Yeon-hwa nodded without saying anything.

Would I have understood something just from that? They bowed their heads politely and opened the front door.

After entering the front door, Hong Yeon-hwa left the elevator and quickly climbed the stairs to the upper floor.

I had a question mark jumping over my head. On the floor I arrived at was the room I had become accustomed to over the past few days. It was the room assigned to me.

‘Why are you here…’

I tilted my head and passed the room at the same time.

It wasn’t my room. Next to it… Ariel said it was Hong Yeon-hwa’s room.

– rattle

Hong Yeon-hwa opened the door and entered the room without hesitation.

I slammed the door shut and approached the bed with pounding footsteps.

Soon, I sat down with my butt pressed against the bedside.

“Haaa…”

Hong Yeon-hwa, who was bending her neck back and forth, let out a sigh. It was a breath full of frustration and complexity.

“Hayul.”

[yes…]

Sensing that the atmosphere was unusual, I cringed and answered.

“I will ask again.”

Sigh… Hong Yeon-hwa took off the outer garment that was draped over her shoulders.

A flashy red robe went down along the shoulder line. They grabbed him and threw his coat carelessly onto a nearby hanger.

“Answer correctly…”

Still, I wonder if the frustration would have gone away. Hong Yeon-hwa untied the front island, caught it with her hand, and fluttered it.

Pure white skin and cleavage were clearly exposed.

It must have been so full of heat that sweat was forming on its skin and steam was rising.

Although he had a very manly appearance, he remained silent due to the unusual atmosphere.

“Who is Seoyul?”

Hong Yeon-hwa’s red eyes looked down at me.

Eyes that were usually thought to resemble beautiful rubies or warm flames.

I felt something different now. The eeriness was greater than the beauty. Rather than warmth, it was full of an inexplicable squishiness.

The question he asked while looking down at me with those bright eyes was the same as before.

Who is Lee Seo-yul?

I didn’t answer that hastily.

I thought about it while coming here for a short period of time, but it’s because the introduction wasn’t organized.

Seoyul’s current condition is very complicated.

What should I explain first? In fact, we should start with the fact that the egg obtained from the Tower of Growth hatched and Seoyul was born…

No, I should first say I’m sorry for not telling you in advance.

Even if there were some circumstances, Hong Yeon-hwa might feel disappointed that she heard about it too late.

I sorted out those thoughts for a moment. This is to prevent words from getting tangled or being delivered strangely.

Just a moment.

It was a short period of time that would normally have been long enough to wait.

“Why aren’t you talking again?”

But why? Hong Yeon-hwa’s patience was running out a long time ago.

“Why?”

– Bang!

‘…!’

Suddenly, fireworks exploded in front of my eyes. Even though the vision was dark, there was a glimmer of sparkle.

It was similar to before. My body trembled like a vibrator as I felt a distant sensation running down my back.

The difference is… it was a continuous sensation earlier, and this time it was a one-off sensation.

It was that much more passionate.

– Phew…

The wind that I couldn’t swallow burst out of my mouth.

[Firecracker]

[fire]

[burning sensation]

[embarrassed]

[hip]

[for a moment]

[Wait a minute]

“Huh? Why can’t I speak?”

A hand was placed on the burning buttocks. It was Hong Yeon-hwa’s hand. He placed his hand there and rubbed it as if to soothe the wound.

The feeling was difficult to describe.

It was tingling, but there was something strange about it.

It didn’t hurt. It burned, but it wasn’t that painful.

When Hong Yeon-hwa couldn’t react and just trembled like an idiot, Hong Yeon-hwa raised her hand again.

“Is there any reason you can’t tell me? Huh?”

[Wait─]

– Argh…!

[─Only…! Ahhh…]

“Why. Please wait now. Speak quickly.”

A shock rang out. The vibration started from my buttocks and spread throughout my body. The sensation conveyed there was so passionate.

‘Ugh…’

My body jerked reflexively. It was an unintentional, instinctive action.

“Fuck, how long have I been patient…!”

– Bang!

“Someone held back the tail wagging softly, claiming it was moral…!”

‘…!’

But Hong Yeon-hwa didn’t seem to like it and played with her hands again.

Before I could even relieve the sensation, another shock came.

A new sense was entangled in the remnants of the remaining sense.

The sight before my eyes became colorful. It wasn’t real. My head was all messed up, as if I was feeling that way.

‘Ugh…’

Normally, I would have gotten over it quickly, but I’m not in a good condition right now.

A slight intoxication, vigilance melted by the heat of the red lotus flower, heightened emotions due to the red lotus flower…

Many elements overlapped and overlapped, and the senses that I had intentionally shut off emerged sharply again.

Hong Yeon-hwa must be in a similar situation.

The same goes for Hong Yeon-hwa, who smelled of alcohol throughout the banquet and poured a lot of fear into the beacon sword.

It was difficult to hold on.

My eyes naturally fluttered.

It feels like my face is melting by itself. To hide him, I buried my face in the chest in front of my nose.

It was different from the texture I usually felt.

It wasn’t the feel of fabric, but the feel of smooth skin and moist, warm body temperature.

“Are you trying to run away on your own again?”

I didn’t feel much. The hand that dug into me grabbed a handful of my cheek and pulled my face out of my chest.

“I don’t know anymore.”

Hong Yeon-hwa exhaled. The sound was rough, like an animal waiting for its prey.

In fact, Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes were bloodshot right now, and it felt quite creepy.

“I will do what I want.”

From observation, the scarlet lotus flower was on fire. The sticky fire swallowed up other emotions and rapidly expanded its size.

Hong Yeon-hwa moved her hands, as if persuading herself.

One hand wrapped around my waist, and the other grabbed the back of my head and made me lean back.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes suddenly trembled. I thought his eyes were staring at my lips, but he closed his eyes and slowly lowered his head.

‘ah.’

It was instinctive… You could say it was intuitive.

I realized what Hong Yeon-hwa’s actions were for.

At that moment, an indescribable urgency filled me.

I struggled to avoid it.

Sigh… The hands wrapped around my waist bound my body. The head that tried to twist was stopped by a hand grabbing the back of my head.

I’m stuck. Just moving doesn’t work. You have to give strength.

I draw all my strength and even pour out my magic power…

‘…then…’

…Then Hong Yeon-hwa gets hurt.

You may get injured, although it may not be a serious wound.

The same goes for other means. There is no way to get rid of Hong Yeon-hwa without getting hurt. The same goes for escaping with the power of space.

As soon as my thoughts reached that point, my body naturally lost strength. My body went limp. A face approached.

[for a moment]

[No…]

[for a moment…]

I couldn’t shake it off with action. As a last resort, the confession necklace clicked and let out a pitiful protest.

Hong Yeon-hwa, consumed by the heightened emotions that Gyeong-hwa gave, stopped moving.

“…You hate me?”

Hong Yeon-hwa asked, stopping at a distance that was just out of reach.

Her eyes trembled pitifully from anxiety.

“Have you come to hate me? I’m scared now…?”

– Crack!

The confession necklace rattled with a harsh metal sound.

[i like you]

This happened even before filtering.

The sound is so rough that you worry that your voice will be drowned out.

However, Hong Yeon-hwa smiled in relief as if she understood.

The neck was tilted back, Hong Yeon-hwa’s face… and the lips lowered.

– side

We ran into each other.

A soft texture touched my lips.

Emotions were conveyed.

‘ah.’

There are many different types of affection.

There will be love between opposite sexes, love between friends, and love from parents to their children.

There are many different ways of expressing one’s affection, and one may reveal one’s affection to others through all kinds of actions and language.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t received love since I was young, but it was difficult for me to understand that.

Even though I feel like he cares about me for some reason… is this true, does he really care about me, was I mistaken, did I think the opposite, etc.

The indirect and vague way of expression was difficult to understand.

So the direct and primitive method was easy to understand.

Stroking, patting, hugging…

We give up our most defenseless arms, share the sound of each other’s hearts, and share body heat as we touch each other’s skin.

This expression left no room for doubt. I was able to recognize the emotions conveyed by the touch.

For me, there was a very clear and directly recognizable expression of affection.

Kiss.

expression of love.

“…huh?”

A dazed sound came out of the mouth of Hong Yeon-hwa, whose face was as red as an apple.

– Tiring!

An unidentified alarm, which had been rare these days, caught my ear.

A soft feeling was pressed all over my body.

A fragrant scent passed my nose.

A sweet liquid seeped into my mouth.

In the center of my blurry vision, I saw wide red eyes.
