A week has passed since Kamiel left home.

    It was more than enough time for a family to split apart.

    Katan started screaming a lot at home.

    Since that day when Miris poured out her anger, she had been suffering from the guilt of selling her son for a long time.

    Cassatt’s situation was no different.

    ‘What have I been doing all this time? .’

    Cassatt entered the room his brother used to use and looked around the inside.

    It was exactly the same as the last time I saw it when I was young, and that made it even more desolate.

    ‘It doesn’t look like a place where people live…’ .’

    Cassatt, who was wandering around without any meaning or purpose, suddenly noticed something white between the drawers.

    ‘What is this?’

    When I opened it and checked, it turned out to be none other than a diary.

    When Cassatt learned for the first time that his brother had written a diary, he turned the pages with a feeling of nostalgia.

    I wonder what kind of story my brother left behind here.

    “This… … .”

    However, the atmosphere in Cassatt was unusual.

    His eyes were wide, as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have, and he read the diary without stopping.

    Tuk-

    Cassat, who confirmed the truth, was so shocked that he lost track of the diary.

    ‘This can’t be true… … .’

    Cassatt was astonished.

    By any chance, if this is all true… ?

    “Wow… !”

    I felt nauseous for no reason.

    A feeling of disgust was boiling inside me.

    Himself and the village people… What have you been doing to your brother?

    The reason this village has been able to survive until now is actually because of someone’s sacrifice?

    However, the person who was offered as a sacrifice was sacrificed again?

    All the secrets were written in the diary left by my older brother.

    It was a late night.

    Even the moon that rose in Hwiyeongcheong was covered by bluish clouds.

    All lights in the mansion are turned off.

    It would be normal for everyone to be asleep by now, but the anxious girl couldn’t do that.

    Jump, jump, jump… .

    Leasian couldn’t sit still and walked around the room.

    Although she couldn’t see an inch in front of her, it wasn’t a problem for her because she knew the structure well because she had been living in the dark for a long time.

    “… … .”

    Rheasian, who had been moving his feet frantically, suddenly stopped.

    Her gaze was pointed exactly in the direction of the door.

    ‘I want to go right away. I want to ask you to forgive me because I was wrong, I did everything wrong.’

    She approached the door at a slow pace.

    I hesitated and never pulled the door handle.

    For Rheasian, the room was the whole world and the only place where he could put his mind at ease.

    How long has it been since my mother passed away and I haven’t left my room?

    Now, counting the years is meaningless.

    ‘Can I go out?’

    Now I was afraid of the outside world.

    Even if you open the door and go out, you still feel like you’re inside a mansion.

    That logic did not apply to Rheasian.

    ‘I am… can not.’

    The hand that had struggled to climb onto the doorknob slipped and fell.

    After hesitating, Rheasian gave up and sat down.

    Then he crouched down and covered his knees with both hands.

    Rattling-

    The whole body shaking as if it was frightened did not stop even as the night faded and the day dawned.

    smart.

    “Lady? I’m here.”

    Kamiel tilted his head.

    Normally, I would have been given permission to come in… .

    It was deathly quiet beyond the door.

    “Lady. I’ll go in?”

    Camiel had no choice but to open the door.

    “Lady… ?”

    Normally, it would be time to prepare refreshments and sip black tea.

    However, there was nothing on the table in the room,

    It was very dark because there were curtains everywhere.

    Camiel sensed something unusual and moved to enter, but something caught his foot.

    He lowered his head to see something.

    The moment I confirmed it, my eyes widened.

    “Lady?”

    “… … .”

    “Lady. It’s me. Camiel. miss? Please answer. Yes?”

    Kamiel couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, but tried to feign composure.

    After gently shaking his delicate shoulders, Leasian turned his head.

    “Ka… Miel?”

    The voice was very hoarse.

    How did a voice that was as clear and pleasant to listen to as a rolling jade bead end up like this? .

    However, there was something worse than the voice.

    “Lady! What’s wrong with you? Yes?”

    “… … .”

    Pale skin looked even paler.

    Her hair was tangled, as if she had run her hands through it several times, and her eyes were lifeless.

    ‘How did you end up like this?’

    It reminded me of the day I first met Leasian.

    Even then, she looked like this.

    “Kamiel… ”

    “Yes, lady. I’m here. Please tell me.”

    “I’m sorry… … .”

    “Yes?”

    “I’m sorry… .”

    “What are you saying out of the blue?”

    “I… You said I was a pretty guy… ?”

    Before I knew it, my voice was filled with moisture.

    With red eyes, she snuggled into Kamiel’s arms and said,

    “I won’t do that again. I really won’t say such harsh words. So please don’t hate me… … .”

    “I hate you… What are you talking about?”

    Kamiel was puzzled.

    When did you call yourself stupid? .

    The person Rheasian was talking about was a boy, the main character of the book.

    So there is no need to apologize like this.

    “That was also your story… . But I just couldn’t understand that and said stupid things… .”

    “Lady… .”

    He was inwardly shocked.

    The young lady would never have guessed that far… .

    When Kamiel realized Leasian’s intentions, he frowned as if in pain.

    ‘It was my fault…’ .’

    Kamiel couldn’t help but notice that his young lady had become haggard due to these worries.

    Everyone thought it was because they had brought such a book and told such a story.

    He looked pitiful and whispered softly in her ear.

    “So you were doing this? You don’t even drink the tea or cookies you like so much… .”

    As I spoke while gently wiping away the tangled hair, Leasian gave this answer as if she was saying it in her sleep.

    “The reason I started eating tea and cookies… It’s been since I met you.”

    His hand stopped at those words, but soon he stroked his light brown hair as if nothing had happened.

    “I’m sorry… . Please don’t hate me… … .”

    “I don’t hate you. So rest assured.”

    Did you understand what Kamiel said?

    She must have been very tired and seemed to feel relieved and fall asleep.

    “Sleep well. But not here. I’ll put you on the bed, so please wait.”

    Kamiel lifted her up.

    No matter how strong she was, she didn’t lift much weight.

    In fact, it was lighter than anyone else’s, so much so that there were concerns about her health.

    He carefully picked her up and headed to the bed.

    ‘The blanket is the same… .’

    When I came to this room yesterday, it was still in the same shape.

    The reason we were able to know this was because there were clear marks left where the two people sat down yesterday.

    ‘You mean you were at the door all night… .’

    My heart became heavy with pity.

    Kamiel first placed her gently on the bed.

    No, I tried to do that.

    “I don’t like it… don’t go… … .”

    ‘miss… ‘You’re really strong.’

    I almost broke my ribs due to a thoughtless action.

    Fortunately, the movement was stopped just before that happened, so the disaster was avoided… .

    ‘You don’t want to fall at all… . I need to lay him down quickly. If I sleep like this, I’m sure my body will be sore.’

    After much thought, Kamiel realized that there was no other way.

    I sighed softly and apologized in advance to the girl who would wake up in the future.

    ‘It was something that could not be helped… . sorry. miss.’

    Kamiel carefully lays down on the bed while holding Leasian.

    When her unique scent attacked my nose in bed, I felt dizzy.

    I somehow managed to put Leasian down on the bed, but Kamiel couldn’t get up.

    ‘He’s holding my waist, so if I try to get up… .’

    There is a high chance that your ribs will break.

    ‘I feel strange… .’

    It was my first time lying in the same bed alone with a woman, almost hugging her.

    It felt strange to be like this.

    Kamiel slowly turned his head and took a stance facing the soundly sleeping Leasian.

    Her pretty apple-like lips were slightly open,

    The sweet breath exhaled through them tickles the tip of the boy’s nose.

    ‘I shouldn’t sleep… .’

    I tried to stay awake until the young lady woke up.

    The problem was that her arms and blanket were too warm.

    “Umm… … .”

    The light brown-haired girl woke up drowsy and opened her eyes from a trance.

    ‘When did I sleep… uh?’

    Is it a dream?

    Why is Kamiel sleeping next to me…? ?

    It was then.

    Past memories washed over me like waves.

    ‘I-I can’t believe it… !’

    Leasian has a good memory… No, if you put aside humility, he was very outstanding.

    Maybe that’s why I remembered everything I said in my sleep.

    ‘The reason I started eating tea and cookies… ‘It’s been since I met you.’

    ‘Sorry… . Please don’t hate me… … .’

    ‘no… don’t go… … .’

    “… … !”

    Leasian’s face became extremely red.

    In what spirit did he say such a thing?

    It’s true that I wanted to apologize, but I had no intention of telling it like that.

    ‘What should I do… ?’

    More than anything, the fact that Kamiel heard it all and reacted to it was the biggest shame.

    At the end, when he lays himself down and is about to leave… What does it mean to tell me not to go? .

    ‘I was crazy… .’

    What should I do if I regret it now? .

    The water has already been spilled… .

    As time passed, the shame gradually became diluted.

    The heat on her face disappeared a little, and she looked at Camiel with a deep sigh.

    He looks peaceful while sleeping.

    ‘Who is this distraught? .’

    Feeling like she was grumpy for no reason, she lightly pinched Kamiel’s cheek.

    ‘He’s not waking up?’

    ‘Even like this?

    ‘Isn’t this going to happen?’

    How deeply did you sleep? .

    And that too in someone else’s room.

    ‘In this guy’s eyes… ‘Do I not look like a woman?’

    Rheasian’s mood sank as a sudden thought occurred to him.

    It was a little hurtful to not feel attractive as a woman.

    ‘When will it happen…’ … .’

    How long had it been since she played with his cheek with a pouty expression?

    When Kamiel suddenly groaned, Leasian wondered if he had finally woken up.

    At the same time, my head became confused.

    ‘What should I do about this situation?’

    The fact that they slept while hugging each other is a fact that there is no way to excuse.

    The complexity doubled as I thought about explaining some of the things I said in my sleep.

    ‘what?’

    Kamiel, who thought he would wake up, turned over a few times and moved his head.

    side.

    Coincidentally, the area where his mouth went was Rheasian’s forehead.

    ‘W-what!!’

    It only took a few seconds for my face to heat up again.

    “Haam… miss. sorry… . I fell asleep without knowing… .”

    “… That’s it.”

    Camiel woke up about 30 minutes later and immediately apologized.

    It was fortunate that the young lady of sound mind readily forgave me.

    “Huh? miss. But why is your face so red? Maybe it’s really painful… ”

    “No! No, stay away!”

    When Kamiel brought her face closer, she got scared and pushed him away.

    He couldn’t help but be worried because he seemed to be sweating strangely, but he was okay so it was something to wait and see for now.

    Kamiel waited quietly until she calmed down.

    After a while, she calmed down and spoke quietly.

    “… Sorry.”

    “Are you apologizing again? It’s really okay.”

    “But you didn’t do it right back then. Oh, and what I said back then was that I couldn’t distinguish between dreams and reality… ”

    “Yes, yes. I understand so.”

    “… Smile? Are you laughing now?”

    Leasian glared at him, who was smiling as if he knew everything.

    Does she really not know that the cuter she looks?

    “Anyway… Are you calm now?”

    “… Yes.”

    “Lady. I’m saying this because I’m afraid you’re still upset, but I haven’t lost my feelings for you because of what happened yesterday. So don’t worry and make sure you sleep in bed. Got it?”

    “Okay… . And why are you even saying such a thing? Am I a kid?”

    He was a child who was always grumpy for no reason.

    Kamiel smiled once and stood up.

    “I’ll just go.”

    “What? already? I haven’t done anything?”

    “There is nothing… I feel like I’ve been here too long. Please hold out your hand. I’ll just give you some energy and then I’ll be on my way.”

    Leasian pursed his lips as if he had something to say, but held out his hand.

    Kamiel removed his hand as he saw the girl’s expression relax as if her worries had disappeared as the warmth poured in.

    “I’ll just go. Have a good night.”

    “Now, just a moment.”

    “Yes. Why?”

    Camiel stood in the pavilion and looked at her.

    Even though I was given the opportunity to speak, I hesitated for a long time.

    Kamiel, who couldn’t do anything, sighed softly and sat down on the bed.

    “You are so bad at expressing your emotions.”

    “… Did you know what I was going to say?”

    “Aren’t you bored? Even if it were me, I would be disappointed if the person I decided to hang out with ended up sleeping without doing anything.”

    “Knowing… Are you that grumpy?”

    His earlobes turned red and he spoke in an angry tone.

    Kamiel also had an excuse.

    “You were cute. It would have been cuter if you had said what you were going to say… It’s a shame.”

    “You really are, huu… … .”

    Rheasian was angry, but was in no position to say anything to him.

    Rather, I should have been thankful that he recognized my intention even though I didn’t say anything… .

    ‘Still, it’s obnoxious… .’

    I’ve been feeling obnoxious since a while ago.

    From the attitude of not seeing her as a woman to the way she pretended not to know and made fun of her. entire.

    ‘and… ‘He even stole my forehead and felt embarrassed.’

    “The lady’s face is like a bonfire. I thought it had gone out, but it continued to burn… ”

    I couldn’t bear to watch the teasing until the end.

    Leasian licked his lips and looked for an opportunity.

    When Camiel showed an opening, suddenly!

    side.

    “… … .”

    “Huh? Why?”

    Rheasian, who immediately patted his forehead in the same way, spoke calmly.

    Even though the heart glows as if it might jump out at any moment.

    ‘Still, I feel sorry for you.’

    I looked at him with a triumphant expression.

    “Huh? You too have a face… ”

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    Kamiel had a face he had never shown before.

    The expression on his face, which was so red and not knowing what to do, stimulated a strange feeling.

    At that, Leasian swallowed his saliva.

    “… Well, I brought another book. Would you like to look at it?”

    “Huh? Uh, uhh. huh… .”

    Kamiel quickly changed the topic and she followed suit.

    There was a pair of apples in front of them.
