episode_0082

The more I walked, the more people looked at me. Admiration, curiosity. Even the little boy who tried to bump into me as if he wanted to pickpocket me didn’t impress me at all.

Just the sound of Cecilia’s heartbeat as she held me in her arms as if protecting me. It was ringing in my ears and I couldn’t think of anything else.

“There are a lot of people.”

Even though I grumbled like this, walking with Cecilia wasn’t that bad. Moreover, I am basically a homebody. Unless it’s something special, he doesn’t come out voluntarily. Moreover, the dart game just now was really fun. Although it was my first time throwing darts, my accuracy was quite acceptable. So I won the prize… and what happened?

“Marian. Should I go home?”

“It’s okay.”

I said brightly and put on my robe.

‘Did I drink too much?’

When I opened my mouth, I could smell hot breath, the smell of alcohol, and a faint fruity scent.

“Marian. Are you really okay…? My face is red.”

Cecilia looks at me worriedly. I don’t care about people’s gaze, and I feel good when he touches my cheek. I was already feeling drunk, so I leaned my face into her touch.

“Ugh.”

-When I groaned and opened my eyes, I saw pretty eyes trembling slightly.

‘Blue Lake…’

I smile in a way that is not typical of me. It’s just because I drank too much, but it’s funny and cute… It’s the first time I’ve ever drank like this.

With love in his heart, he reached out and hugged her neck. As I go to unbutton the collar, I see a pure white neckline.

‘Pretty.’

I buried my face in her neck and exhaled deeply.

“Ha-ah.”

Her breath, mixed with alcohol and fruit, mixed together and a strange scent entered my nostrils again.

What am I doing now?

As I inhaled her scent, I seemed to gradually come to my senses.

-So.

Among the prizes won in the game was whiskey. Did you say that it is drunk a lot in the northern regions? ?

As it was selected as the first prize, the clear liquid in the luxurious crystal bottle caught the eye.

I was thirsty, so I gulped down the entire bottle.

“Guest! That’s the alcohol…”

My voice was urgent and my throat felt hot, but it soon felt as if I had been poured with cool ice… . Cecilia took it right away… .

what… ?

I held my head. I thought I was walking on my own legs… … Before I knew it, I was being held by her.

Even though I let go of my hand that was wrapped around Cecilia’s neck, my body did not shake.

here is… .

Back alley of the night market… .

As my mind became clearer, I remembered the indecent act I had committed. Even when I grabbed her neck, she firmly supported my waist and back from start to finish.

It may not be that special between us. Of course, having 4 buttons undone on the street… .

I buried my face in my hands. A drunk who takes off his friend’s clothes.

Horrible.

“Marian. Are you okay?”

Still, he looks at me with such concern. If it were me… I would probably be disgusted.

‘…Why are you so nice?’

Cecilia’s face also looks redder than usual.

“Is it difficult? Should I go home?”

She placed her forehead against mine as if she was measuring my temperature. Of course, since her hand is supporting my body now, it would be efficient to measure my temperature with my forehead like this.

But the atmosphere a little while ago. Wasn’t it a little strange?

I did it, but if you don’t like it, you have to reject it. I tried to say that, but she hates me. refuse. Just thinking about it made me unable to find a voice.

Nevertheless, when I see her caring for me so carefully… . No, of course I understand how worried you are about your close friend, but touching each and every one of them like this… .

The more I think about it, the more confused I seem to become.

It wouldn’t be particularly strange for me to want to lean into her when her hand gently caresses my cheek.

“It’s warm. Thank goodness.”

And then smiles sweetly.

When I saw him doing this, it felt like he was tempting me, so it tickled my heart.

It couldn’t be possible, but I shook my head.

If I remained blank, I felt like I would want to ask.

‘Cecilia. ‘Do you like me?’

Then she will say yes.

I like it too.

Just as a friend.

She will too.

But what if. We are indispensable to each other.

no.

Let’s not think about it.

Someone who will only love me and think of me as their top priority… .

Family is enough for such an existence.

Friends aren’t like that.

If there is a difference in understanding, it is not uncommon for people to break up or betray each other for the rest of their lives without knowing each other.

That’s a friend.

Of course, I don’t think Cecilia would do that.

special friend.

still.

More than that, at least, I didn’t have the courage to reach out first.

I am quite satisfied with this relationship right now.

‘okay. Satisfies.’

At first, even I wasn’t sure if this feeling was love.

I’m so happy right now, but if our relationship gets even a little sloppy…

“Marian?”

“Ah.”

What was I thinking…

“Are you okay? Are you in a bad mood…?”

“No… no…”

Always… as I went along, I found myself being taken care of by her.

Since when did it start? She looked after me first, was considerate, and took care of me carefully.

Maybe she likes me as more than a friend.

But she’s kind. Because we are close friends.

‘under. ‘It’s pathetic.’

I thought I had become stronger, but the thought that I might even lose someone precious to me was just scary.

Perhaps, if Cecilia and I had been of the opposite sex and not of the same sex, our relationship could easily be called flirty. How many times did we sleep together and even measured our temperature with our foreheads?

But she and I are the same sex.

It wasn’t that I felt repulsed by homosexuality. But I wonder if other people would, too. What is the percentage of homosexuals? I don’t know the exact number, but I do know that it is very rare. Memories of past lives actually interfere with modern common sense.

First of all, I want to live my life doing whatever I want.

But I didn’t want to force my friend. I don’t want to be hated either.

“Put it down.”

Even though the voice was so small that it seemed like she was crawling into it, she responded right away.

“Are you okay?”

Even though I was standing on my own two legs, she supported my back and smiled and told me to tell her whenever I was having trouble.

“I think I should go soon.”

Cecilia muttered that and started to head somewhere, dragging my hand.

Where are you going all of a sudden? I opened the gate in the middle and moved quite far compared to the hanger.

“Where are you going?”

“You’ll find out when you go.”

I was shocked because he didn’t answer even when I asked him. If you see Cecilia smiling brightly, it must be a good place.

“Here.”

We arrived at the foot of a mountain with a panoramic view of the capital.

To be more precise, it was under the cherry blossom tree on the academy grounds, full of the scent of flowers.

‘There are so many cherry blossoms.’

Looking at the flower petals on the floor, it was like a scene from a romantic movie…

‘It must be hard for the person cleaning this.’

I couldn’t even think of anything romantic, and I chuckled even at the thought.

In the first place, I saw a lot of fantasy magic and cherry blossoms in real life from inside the ballroom.

Moreover, once again, I am basically a homebody. Just looking at the night view from the mansion, it looks like a good place for camping, as there is a stump to sit on in such a dark vacant lot, but I don’t particularly like camping… .

“Uh… ?”

When I looked closely, I saw something.

Just right.

When Cecilia snapped her fingers, the hidden scenery unfolded.

“Wow.”

An exclamation of exclamation escaped me.

Quite cutely decorated. In short, it was an outdoor party venue. It’s a familiar scene, but it’s surprising that it was brought to a place like this.

I looked at her again and again, drunk.

“Did you prepare it in advance?”

Cecilia’s clothes also changed. From a white and pink frock coat to a flowy dress. If she had been pretty and cool before, she was just infinitely pretty now.

“Yes.”

No, but what if I didn’t come… ? I was very moody. As such, even Cecilia’s requests were not always granted.

In the first place, he would have gone home already, and he also said to go home earlier…

I was in a daze and shivered from the cold night wind.

‘necklace. Should I take it out again?’

-Pink Diamond Necklace=It was when I reached out to take out the hot pack again.

“Marian, wait a minute.”

Cecilia hugged my body.

“It’s quite warm, isn’t it?”

By the time she grabbed my shoulder and pulled away, my clothes had magically changed.

usually. It was a soft and fluffy dress, similar to the ones I like to wear at home.

“Thank you.”

For some reason, my face felt hot. I reached for the wine again because I was drunk on the topic just now. It’s a sweet wine, so it goes down smoothly.

From then on, I just enjoyed it.

Delicious cakes and luxurious refreshments. Beautifully decorated tables and soft carpets. I took off my shoes and walked barefoot. The carpet was meticulously laid even around the tree.

It wasn’t that special to me.

Even though it was just an everyday thing, the fact that she prepared it for me made my heart flutter.

“Marian hey.”

She grabbed my cheek and carefully turned my head.

Boom~ boom~

Beautiful fireworks began to embroider the night sky.

“Hmm. Actually. Marianne liked it last year.”

While listening to her explanation, I looked at the sky in confusion.

In short, last year I loved fireworks so much that I asked if the fireworks festival hours could be extended.

And as a noblewoman, is there anything she can’t do with money?

The fireworks were really exploding generously.

‘So that’s all money… .’

The fireworks lasted quite a long time.

Unlike when I thought it was free, it felt strange to think that I was riding with Cecilia’s money.

‘no… ‘Am I really a pigtail?’

When I turned my head to see her gently wrapping my hand, I saw her with a pleasant smile and it was so pretty. At this moment, her laughter is more important than the flames. Her heart was just as happy as all that.

What is this dreamy feeling? That was when I was thinking about it.

Suddenly Cecilia’s face came closer.

‘!… … !’

I was startled and inadvertently took a step back. The moment I stopped at the feel of the hard wood on my back, Cecilia’s hand supported my back.

And very slowly. Gently touching my cheek, she was at eye level with me as if she were a child. It was a very close distance, where our breaths were intertwined, but she didn’t get any closer.

A quiet night where not even the grasshoppers cry. I just looked at her face as if fascinated. Even without saying a word, her eyes and breathing said everything.

At this moment I was sure: she liked me. At least I want to kiss you.

Her mouth opened.

“I like it.”

My body was shaking. Even though it was something I expected, the magic power was in full swing. I stared blankly at Cecilia’s figure surrounded by pink petals. It was an unrealistically beautiful sight. Even in the dark night sky, her golden hair, shining like the sun, swayed. Blue eyes that felt more beautiful than any sapphire I had ever seen were looking at my face. Just as I was staring at her blankly, she was also looking at me as if I was fascinated by the flowers.

Her hands slowly stroked my face again. Then, he carefully removed a petal from his hair and brought it to his mouth.

I felt my heart beating faster just from that alone.

Is it because I stay still? Her hands continued to move. This time, he directly grabbed my hair and kissed me. It felt like my heart was being tickled.

Excited. I closed my eyes tightly as the sound continued. The pretty fingers that were caressing my cheek lightly grazed my lips. I could feel the tension and trembling in her hands that were caressing me. And slowly her face came closer to me.

The distance narrowed again and I felt breathing, but it didn’t come any closer.

“Can I do it?”

The same voice I heard last year. But I didn’t feel the playfulness at that time. It was an earnest sound, as if it had been held back for a long time.
