Anonymous, crouching in the corner.

How gloomy it looks, a black haze seems to have bloomed around the nameless one.

I smiled at the sight and asked.

“Hey. Are you upset?”

“… No. I’m not a kid.”

That’s right.

Even if a child who is not yet an adult says something like that, it will just sound laughable.

“…”

However, I didn’t say it out loud because I knew that if I said it, I would get even more depressed and feel even more depressed for the next few hours.

Besides, I could guess why he was upset.

He added in a voice that seemed truly sorry, without a hint of laughter.

“Didn’t you tell me to wait a moment?”

Next, he tickles the nameless person’s side.

He said he liked it like this.

“If you become a man and can’t wait for that moment, how will you live in the future?”

“… Isn’t that ridiculous nonsense?”

What the heck?

How important is that?

“Ehyo… .”

I sighed deeply at the sight of the nameless figure sticking out his lips and recalled the previous day.

*

“I love you, Master.”

The nameless man who had spat it out like that once again pressed his lips against mine, as if trying to hide his equally reddened face. But.

“Ji, calm down… !”

“… Master?”

I wasn’t the type of person to get hit twice… no, three times, and I managed to pull myself together and push away the nameless man’s chest.

If I hadn’t stopped now…

The reason I had a strong feeling that it would really go beyond the line.

‘Not now…!’

And that should never happen.

The reason was simple.

‘There’s still this one left!’

Since when have I been following the law? This place is different from the world where the nameless lived and has different common sense.

Even if you meet your partner and get married around the age of 16 there, that’s not the case here.

If that kind of relationship between me and Moo-myeong continues, I’ll have to live locked in an iron cage.

‘… 3 months left?’

Probably, that’s all that’s left.

I don’t know the exact date because he never told me, but I think it’s around the latter half of December.

And, until that birthday, absolutely, no matter what happens, you must not cross the line.

He may want to deny it, but he still looks like a kid to me.

I’ve seen it since I had a runny nose, so it’s strange that I don’t see it as a child.

“…”

… Well, of course, if you look at the guy’s appearance and body right now, it’s amazing… ? Anyway.

“Ahem… .”

As I was biting my lip with that thought, Myeong-i was looking at me with an expression of obvious shock.

I guess he wants me to tell him why he rejected him.

But, it is difficult for me to answer that question.

‘How can I tell this guy that if he does something like that, I will become a criminal and that I shouldn’t do it?’

I hate that I feel older than the nameless one, and even if I leave that aside, doesn’t it feel like there’s something I want?

‘Not really, not at all!’

This is important.

Anyway, back to the current situation. Then I have to think of an excuse.

“Ah, I think I still need to think about it a bit.”

This was the only answer that came to my mind.

“… Are you worried?”

“That, yeah… .”

I’m not good enough at talking to come up with plausible excuses, and I’ve been caught lying to anonymous people more than once, so covering things up is practically the best I can do.

Gulp.

‘Did the excuse work…?’

I swallowed my saliva and looked at the anonymous person for a moment.

Anonymous looked at me with eyes that seemed suspicious, then quickly let out a sly laugh.

“Can you wait, Master?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“You didn’t avoid it, did you? Surely the Master wouldn’t have been unable to avoid it… .”

Immediately afterwards, an anonymous finger runs over my lips.

“Isn’t that what you want, Master?”

“What, what!”

What the heck is this…!

“No!”

It’s true that I could have avoided it, but my mind was so blank that I couldn’t even think about it!

“Then please tell me the reason.”

“Ugh… .”

I never raised him like this.

You’re really being a fox, asking questions while subtly blurring the essence of the conversation.

As I rolled my eyes as if in trouble, Myeong-i added in a more serious voice than before.

“… I can’t wait any longer either.”

He lowers his eyes as if he is sad.

“When I see you, Master, my heart races as if it’s going to burst. I’ve been like this for over 10 years.”

He takes my hand and brings it to his chest, then adds in an appealing tone.

“I have been fond of you since I was young, but you always look at me like a child, don’t you?”

Somehow, it feels like my heart is being stabbed by a thorn.

I didn’t know how to respond to the anonymous words, so I bit my lip, but soon the conversation continued in a different tone.

“If only that were all. But.”

A low growl, like a wolf marking its territory.

As if to express that I was nameless, Nameless’s grip tightened.

“Haven’t you always been walking around dressed like this, and been charming men?”

“When did I, when did I do that… !”

“Can’t you see me right in front of you?”

Anonymous approaches me step by step.

The distance gradually narrows.

Anonymous, somewhat rough breathing is heard.

I pull the hand I’m holding tightly to my chest. My body is wrapped tightly in the arms of the nameless person.

‘This really won’t work…!’

If things continue like this, we’ll be in real trouble!

‘If this continues, I’ll really get caught…!’

I felt dizzy because of the spinning vision, so I tightly closed my eyes. And.

“Anonymous… Can’t you hold on a little longer?”

He bowed his head deeply and grabbed the nameless man’s forehead and pulled him forward.

I feel embarrassed to be a bit whiny, but Myeong-i has never refused me when I ask her to do something.

Look.

“… Ugh.”

Even now, he is holding his breath as if he can’t hold it in anymore…

‘for a moment.’

As if you can’t stand it?

Glance. I opened my eyes and looked up. What I saw was a scary, anonymous expression.

“… Anonymous?”

He was somehow blocking the lower part of his body, and judging by the redness of his fingertips, he seemed to be having a nosebleed.

Oh… This is a slightly different development than I expected.

Knock knock knock. As I was staring blankly at the nameless man, the nameless man sighed deeply and spoke softly.

“That… You shouldn’t do it again.”

Anonymous words spoken with a sigh, as if tired.

I thought that I really shouldn’t provoke him any more, so I just nodded slightly.

“The wind is cold. Dress warmly.”

As he said that, the anonymous man released the hand he was holding and tightly fastened my half-undone clothes.

“Ugh… .”

Contrary to what the anonymous person said, it wasn’t cold at all.

It was so hot.

*

This is what happened the day before… .

Perhaps, Anonymous felt hurt because he thought I rejected him.

“Um… .”

Now that I think about it, I guess I was a bit of a bad person.

They just told me to wait indefinitely without even giving me a proper reason.

From an anonymous standpoint, it was a bit frustrating.

Of course, Myeong-i has no idea about the laws or common sense of this world. He will only find the reason why I delayed answering within himself.

That won’t lead to good results.

‘It was natural to be gloomy… .’

When I realized that I had done something terrible to the anonymous person, I felt a chill run down my spine.

How should I appease this?

“… Ugh.”

As I said, I’m not good at speaking.

Unlike anonymity, I am also very shy, so it is difficult for me to honestly express my feelings.

So, this is all I can do for the nameless.

I hope he understands what I mean.

“Anonymous.”

“… Yes.”

He buried his head there, his long, anonymous hair pushed to the side.

The reason was that he didn’t want to show his expression to the anonymous person.

“Would you like to go out together?”

“… Are you going out?”

The body trembled for a moment. Myeong tilted his head at the word going out.

“Yes. We’re going to have to live together for the rest of our lives, so shouldn’t we know about this place?”

“… All my life.”

Anonymous, chewing on it as if feeling good.

Feeling a little embarrassed at the sight, I rubbed my face on the nameless man’s shoulder and added.

“That’s right. Were you thinking of leaving me?”

As if throwing a tantrum out of place.

“… That won’t happen.”

Somehow, a smile appeared on my face at the anonymous answer.

Is this reassuring?

Maybe it wasn’t Anonymous who was scared, but me. After all, it seems independence was too much. Me, not you.

“Phew. Then get ready to go out.”

“… Yes.”

I’ve become so used to the days you’re in.

I’m a coward, but I’m greedy.

I absolutely hate it when someone else takes away what I already have.

So, anonymous.

You will never be able to leave my side for the rest of your life.

You brought this upon yourself.

Be patient.

Even if you try to avoid me, I will chase you for the rest of your life just like you did.

Be grateful.

The master loves his disciple so much.

Isn’t the teacher’s love like heaven?

“Master, please prepare yourself.”

what.

“… When did you start being able to read my thoughts?”

“It’s a loss. A loss.”
