– See you later.

Unidentified. She had the same face as me.

After meeting her, my consciousness, which had disappeared, was rising to the surface again.

“Um…”

I slowly rubbed my eyes, and the strange sight filled my mind with wonder.

Two moons visible above my head.

Those two moons blocked out the bright sunlight and cast shadows on my face.

“…What is this?”

Out of curiosity, I reached out to the moon and touched it.

Molkang-

“..Huh?”

It’s softer than I thought… and for some reason, it feels good to the touch.

While I was feeling embarrassed by the unexpected sensation.

“Oh my.”

A sweet voice was heard from above the moon.

‘uh?’

As my vision slowly returned, I was gradually able to make out my surroundings.

What I thought was a pillow on my head was actually a fluffy knee.

The owner of the beautiful voice was a beautiful, mature woman with silver bob hair that suited her well.

And what I’m holding in my hand right now is not the moon…

‘Ga…chest?’

As soon as I realized what it was, I immediately pulled my hand away and hurriedly got up.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to touch you..!”

I immediately apologized to the person in question.

Touching someone’s chest without permission.

There was no rudeness that went beyond the line.

But the short-haired woman doesn’t seem offended at all.

She answered calmly with a beautiful smile.

“It’s okay. I’m just flustered. ”

Her voice, so mature, made my racing heart immediately calm down.

“But…who are you..?”

I look around and all I see is my room.

This was the space I stayed in at Athena’s mansion.

That means it’s definitely a reality…

So who on earth is that woman in front of me?

Who the hell are you?

Why does my heart feel so thumping?

At my question, the woman looked sad for a moment, then smiled again and tapped the bed next to her.

“Um…would you like to sit here for now? I’ll explain it slowly.”

“Nuh..yes..!”

My head was spinning, so I started to speak in a tangled manner.

I sat down next to her with my cheeks slightly raised in embarrassment. The woman slowly stroked my head.

“I heard everything. You said you lost your memory.”

“….Yes. Are you by any chance someone I know..?”

This situation is now familiar.

Athena and Mari. And when I met the pure-white doctor, I could instinctively realize that this woman was also someone I knew before I lost my memories.

“That’s right. My name is Dania.”

“Da..Dania..”A name as pretty as her face.

I looked at her and asked with a puzzled mind.

“May I ask you what kind of relationship you remember?”

The woman named Dania hesitated for a moment at my words, then grabbed my two hands tightly and answered.

“Hera was my precious younger sister whom I truly loved.”

“Brother..?”

“Yes. Um..and maybe Hera thought of me as friendly. Maybe not, hehe..

“Ah..no..I’m sure it’s right!”

“Oh my?”

As she opened her eyes in wonder, I calmed my trembling heart and answered.

“I don’t remember…but when I saw Dania, my heart fluttered…I knew for sure that she was someone I cherished.”

“…..”

Dania looks at me with strange eyes.

Soon she looked at me with a smile.

“Even if you lose your memories, you’re still as lovable as ever, Hera.”

“Ugh.”

Her words start to creak again in her mind.

“Can I just say this? Hera, you can call me Unnie. You’ve done that before too.”

Dania rubbed my hand with her fingers a few times and spoke softly.

“Ugh..your sister..”

Why is that?

I’m sure this is your first time seeing me.

Is it because she looks so mature?

Or maybe it’s because it feels so familiar.

Why do I want to be so spoiled by her?

While I was confused by my inexplicable emotions, Dania pulled me into her arms and hugged me.

Then, her two incredibly soft and fluffy fruits embraced me warmly.

“Okay..Wait..My..Chest…!”

“Hera. I’ll help you.”

“Eh..?”

Her voice was quite serious, unlike before.

“I won’t be away from you anymore.”

She spoke to me, pulling my face closer to her chest.

“I will help you regain your memories. I will help you become happy again.”

“Oh my..”

Because my mouth was blocked by my chest, babbling came out of my mouth.

“As I said before, I want to live my life repaying your kindness.”

“Okay.. Wait a minute.. Sister..”When my face was buried in my sister’s chest called Dania.

My cheeks were burning with an unknown heat.

My breathing gradually became more rapid and my heart began to pound.

All of this is just buried in my chest and I’m suffocating.

….it will definitely be like that.

*

“Sister…hehe..”

Hera appears through the crack in the door.

Like a baby bird in its mother’s arms, Hera was warmly held by Dania.

“..She’s a woman I don’t like.”

But I was able to confirm that my choice was not wrong.

Look at Hera’s face, already flustered, even though we haven’t even had much conversation yet.

I don’t like it, but… that woman might be able to drive out the power of the demon.

‘Once you regain your memories, you can start letting them go little by little.’

I’m just an ordinary person with no power.

I don’t think that such a person would dare to get in my way.

Besides, he was the one who took Hera’s first.

The first lover’s seat. The first experience. Those ecstatic moments were only for me.

But why is that?

When I see Hera laughing brightly, my fists automatically clench.

…this.

‘Surely I won’t be taking away my position as first lady.’

*

It’s already been a week since I met Sister Dania.

My heart became much lighter than before.

I woke up to the morning sunlight and ran straight to the room next to mine.

As I opened the door, the first thing I saw was Dania in her pajamas.

I quickly walked towards her and hugged her tightly.

“Did you sleep well, Sister?”

“Yeah. Did you sleep well?”

“Hehe..yes.”

The same old tantrum I threw at her today.

At first, I was hesitant to approach her, who was a stranger. But after a few days, I became accustomed to her embrace, as if it were home.

Time passed like that.

While I was sharing some meaningless stories with my sister.

“….I’m here Hera.”

Her familiar voice came from the door.

Athena approaches with her face slightly wrinkled.

She lifted me up and took me out of my sister’s arms, then pulled me into her arms with a complicated expression on her face and whispered in a low voice.

“Don’t forget. I was the one who wanted to marry you.”

“…..”

“Answer.”

I nodded timidly as Athena spoke in a stern voice.

Only then did Athena release her face and let me go from her embrace.

“Do you think your memory has come back a little?”

“…No. It’s still the same.”

Athena raised her hand to her chin and began to think deeply.

“Why? I definitely laugh a lot more often than before.”

Athena looked at me with a face that didn’t look good.

“Hera. Are you happy now?”

“Huh?”

“Are you happy now?”

I felt embarrassed by her sudden words.

Are you happy?

‘..I don’t know.’

Since Sister Dania came, I have definitely become brighter.

Having someone to rely on made my heart feel lighter, and I felt happy whenever I was with her.

But is that happiness?

No, from the beginning…

“What does it mean to be happy?”

To begin with, the emotion called happiness is too broad.

Joy. Laughter. If those things are happiness, then I am definitely happier now than before.

But I wasn’t sure if those things were really happiness.

At my words, Athena and Dania opened their eyes wide at the same time.

A brief moment of silence came like that.

For some reason, my older sister Dania, who had a sad expression on her face, came to me and held my hand.

“Hera, I don’t know exactly what happiness is, but I definitely know what happiness feels like.”

She continued speaking while gently stroking my hand.

“It’s so overwhelming that you can’t control your body. And it’s such an intense feeling that you’ll never forget it.”

“Is that so..?”

“I think happiness is that overwhelming feeling that I have no choice but to seek, even if it might be poison or medicine for me.”

– That’s how it is when I’m with you.

I couldn’t hear the rest of her story because it was so quiet, but I was caught up in what she said.

A feeling so overwhelming that you can’t control your body.

I don’t know if it’s poison or medicine, but it’s so addictive that you can’t help but seek it out.

An intense feeling that once experienced, you will never forget.

If that’s happiness…

“I think I was happy once.”

Athena opened her eyes wide at my words and answered hurriedly.

“When. When were you happy?”

“Umm…”

“It’s important. Explain that time as specifically as possible.”

I briefly pondered Athena’s words.

But I cautiously opened my mouth as I saw her eyes that seemed so earnest.

“I don’t know exactly, but…when I felt the emotion that Dania unnie was talking about…”

Gulp-

I could hear Athena swallowing her saliva.

After a brief pause, I looked at Athena and opened my mouth.

When you feel so overwhelmed that you can’t control your body.

When I felt like I wanted to look for that memory again.

An intense memory that you will never forget.

At that time, definitely…

“When Athena took my ship..?”

An endlessly calm silence began to surround the surroundings.

The first one to break the silence was.

“Huh?”

It was the voice of Athena, who was blankly staring at me with a blank face.
