Yes, really.

    At first I thought Carlyle was crazy.

    There was a time like that.

    But as time passed and he changed, so did Carlyle.

    After letting out a deep sigh and smiling faintly, Carlyle lowered his body.

    “Do I really have to say it in words?”

    You are cute right now. I want to take you to my dorm and lay you down right now.

    I was momentarily confused, but I felt satisfied, as I was not Vita Shamal who could not understand the meaning.

    side-

    Suddenly, Carlyle feels strange and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Then, he covers Carlyle’s mouth with his hand.

    “The rest… later.”

    The mouth under my hand was smiling and it felt ticklish. I slowly moved my hand away.

    “Okay, later. There’s still plenty of time.”

    As Carlyle patted her head with his large hand along with those words, Vita’s already good mood became even better.

    Afterwards, the two enjoyed the night of the festival together.

    “No, I can’t catch it… How on earth do I catch it?”

    Carlyle takes my hand as my voice turns to tears.

    “I told you not to hold it like that. Look, like this. Move the stick slowly.”

    “Carlyle, you idiot. Take it slow… ”

    Vita’s eyes widened. He expressed his honest feelings because he was catching fish really well.

    “Oh, wow… ”

    Something is different than before.

    If it were before, Vita would have insisted that she could do it on her own. She would not have put her hands in Carlyle’s hands.

    Now, I just obediently hand my small hand over to the other person and let out a pure exclamation of admiration.

    In fact, it was none other than Carlyle who said that.

    “Look, I told you.”

    Vita laughed heartily at Carlyle Schultz’s boastful words.

    “Yeah, I admit it.”

    We were so amazed at how many fish we caught, and we laughed together.

    Clap your hands together excitedly.

    Before we knew it, the evening of the festival had come to an end.

    ***

    I really enjoyed today.

    The two returned to their accommodation, had dinner together, and sat on the bed to rest.

    Something, naturally.

    At the moment of consciousness, we were sitting side by side, holding each other’s hands.

    “Aren’t you tired, Bianca?”

    A hand gently strokes the bangs on my forehead.

    Vita shrank for a moment at that sensation, then smiled and said.

    “I’m tired, really.”

    Well, we came here right after the wedding.

    There’s no way you won’t be tired.

    “What are you doing this morning… ”

    Even though I say this, honestly, I feel good.

    It was a day like a dream.

    Actually, I’ve been with Carlyle before, even when we went on a school trip.

    ‘If only we could go on a date like today…’

    Because it would have been better.

    Because it was a day when I completely shook off all the regrets and greed that had been lingering in my heart. All I could do was laugh.

    “By the way, Bianca. Should I contact you soon…?”

    “Ah, contact…?”

    Vita nodded, understanding Carlyle’s meaning.

    “Okay, then.”

    Because I definitely have something to tell my parents.

    Just after the wedding.

    Suddenly, his father handed him something.

    -Ahem, this. Check it out when you go down.

    It was a thick envelope.

    -What is this, Dad…?

    -You’ll know when you see it later.

    After coughing in vain, he avoided eye contact awkwardly, which was not like his father.

    My mother smiled and said it was a wedding gift, so I accepted it gratefully.

    On the train, Vita and Carlyle were shocked to discover the true nature of the gift their father had given them.

    -What, what is this…?

    So, it was a house deed. The key was also included.

    It was in the vicinity of the location that the two of them had been looking into. The location was perfect, and it even had three rooms?

    There was also a long letter from my father, filled with earnest advice.

    It was intense from the first sentence.

    -I absolutely refuse to accept anything. You guys are still young, so you deserve this much.

    Your older brothers also received it, it is a parent’s natural right to take care of their children when they get married, so don’t feel burdened.

    Suddenly, Vita remembered a conversation she had had with her mother a few days ago.

    -By the way, daughter. You’ve decided on the gift and the wedding hall. Have you decided on where you’re going to live?

    -Oh, this is your new home…?

    At that time, I casually told him that I hadn’t bought a house yet and that I was planning to take my time looking for one after I returned from my honeymoon with Carlyle due to budgetary issues.

    -Yeah, that’s good.

    I never thought that the words my mother said with a smile at that time would mean this-

    -Call me, quickly.

    -… Oh, okay. I’ll do it over a video call.

    Vita and Carlyle too. I was surprised and called them right away, but my father only said one word with a stern expression.

    [Take it, just take it.]

    -Dad, still…

    -…We cannot accept it.

    Carlyle also spoke from the side, causing his father to click his tongue.

    [It’s better than being stubborn. You guys are still young. It’s more natural for you to get help from your parents.]

    And then he seemed to think about something for a moment, and then suddenly hung up the phone.

    Just as the two were panicking, Carlyle’s phone rang.

    Vita realized that her father was about to have a long talk with Carlyle.

    In fact, I couldn’t hear a single word of what was being said, but I watched Carlyle’s expression change with each passing moment.

    Carlyle was persuaded in real time by his father-in-law.

    [Don’t get me wrong. I’m giving it to you not because you’re pretty, but because my daughter is pretty. Do you understand, okay?]

    Just accept it, don’t be stubborn.

    Carlyle’s feelings were very complicated at the craftsman’s words, but in fact, he had already decided what he would say in the end.

    If I were to be stubborn here, it would be just stubbornness. To be honest, there is nothing wrong with what the craftsman said.

    Now, he can’t afford to throw away such a great opportunity, even for his partner, Bianca Shamal.

    [… Thank you, Master.]

    So, I really appreciate it, said Carlyle Schultz.

    Sure, later. I’ve decided in my heart that I’ll pay off this huge debt, but I don’t say it out loud.

    This is how things turned out.

    Suddenly, the couple found themselves in a spacious new home with three rooms and two bathrooms.

    ***

    “Ah, Dad! It’s the gift you gave me… ”

    Just now, a video call between Bianca and her father-in-law was connected.

    -You’ll take it? Okay, I got it.

    A craftsman with a determined expression.

    “No, that’s why. I’m really so grateful… ”

    -Just live well. That’s all that matters.

    Bianca is embarrassed.

    Carlyle chuckled at the sight.

    -Why is that guy laughing all of a sudden?

    -Oh, Maxim. What is that guy, that guy. Anyway, he’s talking nonsense.

    On the screen, the craftsman is being beaten by his mother-in-law.

    -Okay, I said I got it.

    The craftsman who was hit on the back has a resentful expression on his face.

    The two people looked at the sight and burst into laughter.

    “Anyway, thank you.”

    “Thank you, Master.”

    -How was your honeymoon?

    Bianca starts chatting happily at her mother-in-law’s question.

    “Oh, right. I saw the fireworks festival. There was a mask parade. And, um… ”

    -Wasn’t the weather cold?

    The craftsman also smiled gently at his daughter.

    “Yes. It wasn’t cold. By the way, Lyle, are you doing well there?”

    The puppy is currently being looked after by my in-laws at my maternal grandparents’ house. My in-laws look uneasy at Bianca’s question.

    -Of course, I’m fine. Why the puppy’s name…

    I guess you don’t like it.

    “Oh, Lyle? Named after Carlyle… Nice name, Dad?”

    -… Ahem, okay. I asked because it was so well-made.

    Carlyle thought to himself, “What a doting father.”

    The only impression that came to mind was honestly just one.

    ‘This is, family…’

    A relationship that he had never had since he was born.

    But what a harmonious and happy relationship it is.

    It’s something I’ve always dreamed of but never quite reached.

    Affection given to others without any reward, and mutual trust.

    Carlyle Schultz had long dreamed of a relationship like this. As an orphan, he too wanted a family.

    Naturally, the gaze turns to the woman next to him.

    To the woman who is chattering with a clean and cute face.

    ‘Yeah, for me…’

    He now has Bianca Shamal. The beautiful, lovely, and one-of-a-kind one.

    I can’t even begin to define how lucky I am, how incredibly lucky I am.

    “I’ll stop talking soon, Dad. Sleep well, Mom.”

    -Okay, daughter!

    -Wait a minute! That guy’s gaze is strange…

    -This guy has no clue…!

    After a brief commotion.

    Bianca Shamal and he locked eyes.

    Hehehe, Bianca’s smile is always cute.

    “Are our parents a bit… active?”

    “What, always.”

    Carlyle chuckled.

    “I think it looks good.”

    It’s not an exaggeration, it’s true. He even understands that his father-in-law is being held captive by his mother-in-law. It’s because he loves her.

    “… ”

    “… ”

    The air between the two becomes delicate in an instant.

    It’s just the two of us in the room, the first day of our honeymoon.

    Because now, there’s only one thing left to do.

    “, should I wash up…?”

    Bianca Shamal’s face turned bright red in an instant as she spoke to him, but Carlyle shook his head.

    He was broke and my bride was beautiful.

    It was a new experience.

    Now Bianca Shamal is my lifelong companion. And the same goes for her.

    I’m starting to really feel this fact, and my heart is definitely pounding more than usual.

    Thud- thud-

    My heart is pounding.

    In the wrists that hug the other person, and even in the ankles and calves, I can feel the heartbeat.

    Carlyle felt as if his entire body had become a heart.

    But he got up without saying a word, feeling his own heartbeat, and turned off the lights in the room.

    The soft moonlight comes in. His bride, dressed in a yukata, is incredibly pretty.

    So Carlyle’s face suddenly lost its expression.

    It’s so unbelievably pretty that I can’t even think of anything else.

    The most brilliant thing.

    Carlyle knelt down in front of Bianca Shamal with a gaze that was incomprehensibly beautiful and his most precious treasure.

    Bianca and I sit on the bed and make eye contact.

    There is only one thing to say.

    Carlyle Schultz said, holding the delicate woman’s body in his arms.

    “… I will love you with all my heart, for the rest of my life, until the day my heart gives out.”

    Carlyle’s own partner, a lovely woman.

    It would be nearly impossible to explain him going forward without Bianca Shamal. No, absolutely not.

    What I just said was completely sincere.

    Bianca Shamal’s expression became blank for a moment at my words, and then tears welled up in her eyes for some reason. Only then did Carlyle smile and wipe her tears away.

    “You’ve become a total crybaby.”

    “No, that’s not it… ”

    Bianca actually burst out laughing while denying it.

    A really happy laugh, a laugh that feels like that.

    Bianca wiped away her tears with her hands and spoke to me.

    “I’ll tell you too. Just this once?”

    “Once? That’s too much.”

    Before I knew it, my mouth was blocked.

    Bianca Shamal is smiling.

    She smiles at him playfully and happily, with a smile like a wildflower.

    With one small hand, Bianca covered his lips, and with the other, she pointed at Carlisle himself and smiled prettily. She really smiled prettily.

    “Me too, you. Carlyle Schultz, I will truly love you for the rest of my life.”

    In the soft moonlight.

    They both knew.

    There is no such thing as once.

    I will probably say and hear similar things to you hundreds or thousands of times throughout my life.

    Let’s be happy together, holding each other’s hands.

    To share and experience all the joys, pleasures and rewards of life, even the sad, painful and difficult times.

    As they both knew it, their gazes towards each other grew deeper and deeper, and soon their lips were pressed together.

    Facing countless events in the future, one emotion that will never change for the rest of my life.

    Feeling a sense of complete happiness.

    They rubbed each other’s noses and slightly covered each other’s lips, smiling happily.
