The atmosphere was different.

The room was no different than usual, except that one candle was lit, but the atmosphere itself was a little different than usual.

There is no way that a master who cannot sense anything within a few frames around him would not notice the change.

“… … .”

Yu Ye-hyang just blinked her wide-open eyes for a while.

Soon she lay down on the bed quietly.

Something was strange.

I can’t really say for sure what’s strange, but there’s definitely something strange.

However, the air itself felt different from usual, so it just felt strange.

“That, that… Jin-ah?”

“Yes.”

“It seems a little different than usual… … ?”

Yu Ye-hyang asked cautiously.

It was a routine that I always had and that ended my day.

After washing up and coming back, I was hugging Yeonjin like usual and thinking about her, my heart was racing, but it felt like that precious time had been strangely broken.

Naturally, her mood was more subdued than usual, but more than that, she wanted to break the awkward silence.

“That’s right. It’s a little different than usual, right?”

Yeonjin turned her head to look at Yuyehyang at the question she asked carefully.

Red eyes, filled with confusion, shook back and forth.

How is it that even when I set the table for you, you pretend not to notice?

Yeonjin let out a short sigh at that sight.

In this world, this is normal and standard behavior. However, this kind of frustrating development was not exactly what I had expected.

The relationship between the opposite sexes, men and women, is truly complex and mysterious.

It’s not like Yeonjin has a lot of experience or anything, but you have to clap your hands to make a sound.

“I didn’t know my sister would be so clueless in such a weird way. She’s usually so smart.”

“… … Huh?”

Was the criticism that came out in a frustrated tone sudden?

Yu Ye-hyang, who had suddenly become oblivious, made a slightly aggrieved expression, but Yeon-jin, who had been lying down, raised her upper body and simply shrugged her shoulders.

Even making progress required caution.

When the right atmosphere is created, you naturally kiss, but you don’t ask permission every time before doing it.

So, although it wasn’t the way I had expected, when this kind of indirect expression of intent didn’t work out, there was only one way left.

Just like the men of this world, it didn’t suit my personality to secretly create that kind of atmosphere and wait passively.

If so, shouldn’t we take action ourselves?

“Just come and lie down for now.”

He grabbed Yu Ye-hyang’s arm and pulled her to the bed, and she was dragged to the bed without any resistance, limping.

“Ugh.”

Then, after Yu Ye-hyang let out a short word, her movements stopped like a broken machine.

Her head spun around like a taut string, tense and tense.

Originally, Yeonjin had a somewhat unmanly and straightforward personality.

So, you must have been acting like that without even realizing it.

‘If you think about it, clearly… … .’

They suddenly reveal their bare skin to check out your abs, or they bring their face close to you and sniff your scent, saying you smell good.

There were some unconscious actions that left room for such reasoning.

But this kind of direct and active seduction was a first.

And at least, as far as she knew, it hadn’t been like this before the regression.

“That, that, that, that’s why-”

Yu Ye-hyang’s face turned bright red, and at the same time, she stopped, unable to utter a single word, like a broken wind-up doll.

Yeonjin, who had been staring at that face, asked with a puzzled look.

“You have the courage to kiss a sleeping person on the lips, but why can’t you even pick up a spoon when I set the table for you?”

“Seo, Seo, Seo, are you awake?”

“No matter how insensitive you are, you are still an expert. Of course you would notice when someone strokes your head and kisses you while you are sleeping. Your senses are so clear that you can’t say you mistook it while you were asleep.”

When Yeonjin answered immediately, Yuyehyang let out a silent scream.

Then, with a surprisingly quick movement, he lay down like a stiff block of wood, and at the same time buried his face between the pillows.

Even in the dark, the redness all the way to his ears was clearly visible.

Yu Ye-hyang muttered, burying her face in the pillow as if she wished to suffocate to death.

“… … Please forgive me. I guess I wasn’t in my right mind back then.”

Even the way he spoke, which usually used the first-person pronoun “my lady,” changed.

After all, stealing someone’s lips while they’re sleeping isn’t exactly an ethical thing to do.

A sense of self-loathing so bad that she wanted to die belatedly came over her.

It was something that happened so long ago that even she had buried it in a corner of her memory.

It was quite an amusing sight to see a near-death drone lose control of its emotions, but Yeonjin giggled and patted her on the back.

“It’s okay. I won’t tease you and call it harassment.”

“Please, please Jin-ah… … I feel like I can’t breathe.”

It was a rare, no, more than rare, a precious sight that I had never seen before.

Yeonjin, who had stopped teasing her with her words that were almost pleading, slowly hugged her instead of patting her back as she lay face down.

“If you really hated it from the beginning, you would have woken up instead of continuing to sleep.”

“Ugh… … .”

“Get up and say no, no, and what was it? Don’t do that? It’s so vague now that I can’t even remember. Anyway, it must have happened, so don’t take it to heart.”

Yeonjin giggled.

Every syllable of the words I uttered felt like a nail was being driven into her heart, but what could I do?

That’s all karma.

His face, flushed with shame, cautiously turned to Yeonjin.

And Yeonjin slowly brought her face closer and lightly kissed his cheek before pulling away.

side.

I’ve decided to go anyway, so maybe a kiss on the cheek would be the most important thing.

As their lips parted with a cute sound, Yu Ye-hyang asked in a still mumbling tone.

“Suddenly… … .”

In context, the question “why” at the end must have been omitted.

Light displays of affection were commonplace, but this kind of direct contact had clearly been rare until now.

She was happy about this change, but at the same time, she was so ashamed that she wanted to die, and she didn’t know why, so she asked the question.

“Hmm, well?”

Yeonjin tilted her head.

“In fact, since you even put lip prints on them, it wouldn’t be strange to say that you’re dating.”

“… … .”

Yu Ye-hyang, who was at a loss for words, closed her mouth.

What kind of boy would say something like that without feeling ashamed?

Although that was the Yeonjin she knew, Yu Ye-hyang quickly guessed her age.

He is two years younger than her, and still a little away from becoming a man, at seventeen and seventeen.

He was old enough to be considered an adult who could do his own thing, but I never thought he would be manipulated this much by someone two years younger than him.

“And you are my benefactor, my sister.”

“… … Am I talking?”

“Yes.”

Yeonjin answered immediately.

“You told me I was talented, so I should just believe in myself.”

“… … .”

“I was almost dragged to the dark side and made to do the work of a slave, but you took me in as your disciple. You taught me martial arts, and this time, you went all the way to Mt. Taesan to find elixir, saying you would feed me good food.”

Yeonjin added at the end of her playful remark, “There’s really nothing you haven’t done for me?”

Even though she was speaking playfully, Yeonjin’s eyes were quite serious.

I just kept receiving.

I wanted to give something back, but I had nothing.

It wasn’t a situation that Yeonjin was particularly pleased with.

If the source of that altruistic act of continuously giving something to oneself, this and that, is love.

The reward for that should also be love.

At least that’s what Yeonjin thought.

“I’m just a person with no common sense, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have any sense.”

He added, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

“Ah… … .”

And when it came to that part, Yu Ye-hyang let out a sigh.

She intuitively sensed something from the words he had just casually blurted out.

That’s why Yu Ye-hyang stared at Yeon-jin’s face without stopping.

Clearly, they hadn’t spent much time together even before the regression, but now he seemed to be able to vaguely guess the source of Yeonjin’s attitude.

This is all because I was able to faintly hear the true feelings thanks to the regression and contact with them much faster than the original history.

As Yu Ye-hyang was thinking about that for a moment, the sight of Yeon-jin giggling appeared in her eyes.

“So, if there’s anything you want to do, you can do it.”

“… … Really?”

“Oh my, have I been living a life of deception?”

A brief conversation took place.

An indulgence given to her who hesitated until the very end.

If it were normal, Yeonjin would have felt a sense of guilt, thinking, “No matter how bad the world is, why do we have to do this?”

If what came in the end was love, then it is only natural that what returns is also love.

“Then how, how should I call you from now on?”

“… … Huh? What do you call it? What does that mean-”

“Should I call you Sang-gong? Not Noona, but Sang-gong~ Like this?”

As soon as Yeonjin finished speaking, Yu Yehyang, who had heard the story, started to groan.

“Oh, the reaction is different from what I expected.”

In an instant, his eyes grew wide and he started coughing violently, so Yeonjin patted his back for a while.

With great difficulty, the real Yu Ye-hyang shook her head violently from side to side.

“If you call me that before we even get married, won’t people misunderstand? I’m really happy, but I think my wife’s introspection is lacking more than anything else, so I hope you can put it off a little bit.”

“Oh.”

And the answer came back like a machine gun.

Yeonjin let out an exclamation of admiration at the answer that came back so quickly and ramblingly that she couldn’t even breathe in the middle of speaking.

It was a more intense reaction than I expected, and it was quite amusing how even the slightest touch would immediately result in such an intense reaction.

But I can’t just keep teasing him because the reaction I get back is funny.

Yeonjin, who had been giggling, stopped laughing and slowly leaned back.

And hugged her.

The only difference from usual is that the hugging partners have switched, but sometimes small differences can make a big difference.

Yeonjin whispered in my ear, close enough that I could clearly hear my pounding heartbeat.

“So what’s next?”

“… … Are you really sure you won’t regret it?”

Instead of being stiff and unable to speak properly like before, Yu Ye-hyang carefully asked the question.

“I told you. I set the table for you. You should know how to use a spoon yourself.”

What came back was a disappointing answer.

Yu Ye-hyang, whose face was red, did not open her mouth any longer.

Instead, their lips were covered, and the sensation was exquisite.
