Chapter Index

    “Baby, where are you saying I’m going…? ? Throw it away… ?”

    ‘I’m leaving? Abandoning this child? I?’

    It was absurd.

    Unless Atra goes crazy, that’s not possible, and right now, Atra isn’t going crazy.

    If someone had recommended something like that, Atra would have killed it right away.

    What Atra said to Lee Ha-yul was to teach him more.

    I just asked Lee Ha-yul for his opinion.

    Unsure of how he misunderstood that, Lee Ha-yul threw a fit and clung to Atra.

    ‘I stepped on a landmine…’ ‘

    I don’t know why, but it really triggered Lee Ha-yul’s trauma button.

    As soon as she realized him, Atra picked Lee Ha-yul in her arms and brought her to her lodgings. Whatever it was, it was an act based on intuition that it would not be easy to calm Lee Ha-yul down.

    In fact, even after some time had passed, Lee Ha-yul was unable to calm down and was in a state of fear.

    – Sigh…

    Atra felt a cold sweat break out. I looked down at my arms.

    Pure white hair without a trace of impurity and a small body that fits perfectly into your arms.

    The body heat transmitted from tight skin and the sweet smell filling the nasal passages.

    It’s Lee Ha-yul, who runs up to Atra and snuggles into her arms.

    It’s no wonder

    Lee Ha-yul, who really enjoys hugging people, gets hugged by Atra every time after training.

    Also, isn’t it Lee Ha-yul who snoops around Atra and keeps an eye on her even after she has finished her training?

    When Atra caught that airflow and opened her arms, Lee Ha-yul came into Atra’s arms with a bright smile, like the rising sun.

    [sorry… ]

    It was very different from that now.

    I didn’t laugh.

    The face was buried in flesh and could not be seen.

    However, the gloomy look as if it was rotting away and the sob coming from between the chest…

    Her trembling body, as if drenched in fear, showed that Lee Ha-yul was never smiling.

    [I was wrong… ]

    Kuuk… The arm wrapped around my waist gained strength. They cling desperately, pressing their bodies tightly together and burying their faces in their chests.

    It looks like a puppy abandoned on the road on a rainy day. The hair also seemed to have faded and become limp.

    Atra’s face darkened in a pitiful atmosphere that made the viewer feel heartbroken.

    ‘Why has this changed so much… ‘

    Atra drooped the corners of her eyes and looked at the wing clothes wrapped around me.

    The blue color like the clear sky has gone somewhere, and the wing clothes have become gloomy and cloudy, as if there were dark clouds.

    It wrapped around Atra and Lee Ha-yul’s whole body. The wing clothes are wrapped so tightly that they press against the skin, entangling each other. I tried to pull it gently, but it wouldn’t come loose.

    Actions full of intention that they will never let go.

    It’s as if he thinks Atra will cruelly abandon him and disappear.

    That kind of attitude was very difficult for Atra.

    [I’m sorry, Master!! sorry! I did everything wrong… !]

    “No no no! I’m not trying to solve it… No, I’m sorry… ”

    “J-! Knock! Grump, crack, crack… ”

    “Aaaah! stop! word! Don’t tell me… !”

    Lee Ha-yul had a seizure due to the act of pulling on the wing clothes. Suddenly, he started coughing up blood and struggling for breath.

    As for Atra, she just touched it because she wondered why it was like this, but as Lee Ha-yul, she seemed to interpret it as an action to escape from herself.

    Geek… ! The noise made by the necklace became stronger. Then, Atra was startled by the voice full of desperation and hugged Lee Ha-yul tightly.

    .

    .

    .

    After holding him completely in my arms for a while, Lee Ha-yul’s condition gradually improved.

    [sorry… ]

    Did not fully recover.

    The sound itself was lowered, but the voice still rang out in a low voice steeped in desperation and fear.

    “Where would your teacher go? I always… I will be by your side forever.”

    I sat down with my back against the backrest of the bed and gave my arms to Lee Ha-yul.

    He put out his chest so that Lee Ha-yul could be hugged more comfortably, and both hands continued to embrace Lee Ha-yul.

    He stroked his silky soft hair, tidying up any stray or tangled hair, and patted it in time with his heartbeat, moving down his neck and back.

    Lee Ha-yul’s trembling emotions subsided a little due to the gentle touch that melted all the experience she had accumulated so far.

    [Please don’t throw it away… ]

    ‘this.’

    But the chronic fear showed no sign of going away.

    No matter how much I tried to console him, he just kept repeating like a parrot and begging me not to abandon him, saying he was in the wrong.

    “What do you mean you did wrong? You didn’t do anything wrong. It was actually me who was at fault. I’m sorry for saying something that might be misunderstood… ”

    [That’s not true! It’s not your fault, Master!]

    [It’s all my fault… !]

    Lee Ha-yul shook his head strongly.

    He desperately denied Atra’s apology and expressed that it was his fault.

    Is it Atra’s fault? do not do that. If the teacher was wrong… So what to do?

    You cannot arbitrarily change other people’s opinions.

    Atra… What if Master disliked Lee Ha-yul on a simple whim? If you just hate it for no reason… There is nothing Lee Ha-yul can do.

    So it must be your own fault.

    If it happened because Lee Ha-yul was bad or made a mistake, he can make up for it by changing and acting on his own.

    You can change by changing yourself.

    However, if it is a problem outside of you… What on earth can Lee Ha-yul do?

    “Hmm… ”

    Atra did not understand such detailed psychology.

    Instead, I guessed that there was a crack in some kind of trust relationship.

    In short, this happened because Lee Ha-yul did not trust Atra. This is an incident that occurred because the belief that Atra would not abandon Lee Ha-yul disappeared.

    If so, you need to rebuild the trust relationship…

    What should I do? How should I give trust?

    ‘… trust?’

    Atra, who was contemplating on that, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

    I remembered the words spoken by the red-faced bitch who was laughing with fear on her back.

    A story about stealing a pupil’s lips, like a knight bragging about his own prowess.

    My memory is intact because I was listening while suppressing the heat burning inside me.

    The moment Hong Yeon-hwa kissed her lips, Lee Ha-yul’s eyes opened and her voice opened.

    ‘… … ‘

    My head spun for a moment.

    The phenomenon of Lee Ha-yul, which is believed to be a curse. The side effects of that. Proof of the phenomenon caused by scarlet lotus. Teacher and disciple, age, Lee Ha-yul’s reaction…

    …Actually, Atra was feeling sad.

    No, you’re abandoning your disciple? Does Lee Ha-yul really think Atra is that kind of person?

    No matter how much I cared and loved you, I feel so anxious that even such bullshit is not worth it…

    The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was a bit scandalous.

    Atra took action.

    “It’s ridiculous to say that it was thrown away in the first place. Who is abandoning whom? ”

    He carefully grabbed Lee Ha-yul’s head, which was buried in his arms, and slowly removed it from his arms.

    “Right, good… ”

    That action must have ignited a spark of anxiety, and when Lee Ha-yul, who was shivering, comforted her and took her away from her arms, her face was a mess.

    Bangs soaked in cold sweat and heavy breathing.

    The area around his narrow, unfocused eyes is stained red, and tears like chicken droppings are still flowing.

    A deceptive appearance that stands out for its beauty even while being so damaged.

    Rather, it seems to be filled with pity and regret, kindling a fire of immorality in people’s hearts.

    That fueled Atra’s determination.

    Atra’s hand moved.

    With one hand, he grabbed the back of Lee Ha-yul’s head and tilted his head back, and with the other hand, he lightly grabbed Lee Ha-yul’s cheek.

    He lowered his face straight down.

    [uh? eww? ah? ah?]

    Lee Ha-yul’s body was shaking.

    A ray of consciousness shone through my mind that was burning with fear and consumed by fear.

    A shadow falls on the face. Teacher’s face gradually… Getting closer to my face. The distance narrows.

    Lee Ha-yul stirred.

    [Oh, no… ]

    I can’t… You should only kiss the person you are going to marry…

    The voice that was trying to continue suddenly cut off.

    The shaking also stopped.

    I was afraid that if I refused, I would be hated even more by my teacher.

    Atra, Master. An adult and protector who cares for me.

    I don’t want to be abandoned by someone like that.

    I don’t want to be hated either.

    I have to reject it… I couldn’t bear to refuse it.

    In the end, the only resistance Lee Ha-yul was able to achieve was to close his narrowed eyes as if he was escaping from reality like a fool.

    – Side…

    “… … !”

    Even that was blown away.

    Faces overlapped.

    The bridges of their noses touch and their breaths mix chaotically.

    Moist and soft lips are touched.

    – Excited!

    At that moment, Lee Ha-yul’s heart rang loudly.

    It was different from the normal beat. A feeling I felt once before. A strange sensation spread throughout my body, like a wave.

    And, with his eyes open, Atra was able to see.

    Light falls on dark gray eyes, and the pupil comes into focus without knowing where it is going.

    Atra’s appearance was clearly captured in Lee Ha-yul’s blurry eyes.

    It’s really eye opening.

    Immorally, a dizzying sense of elation rushed through Atra’s mind.

    – Side…

    I parted my lips that had been rubbing for a while.

    “Uh, eh? ah… ”

    Lee Ha-yul’s mouth opened blankly.

    Although the tongues did not mix, liquid that was either saliva or sweat continued up and down.

    That lewd sight… came into view.

    The liquid broke off and landed on my lips, flowing into my mouth in a dazed daze.

    “Heh, sigh…!”

    Lee Ha-yul’s body trembled. The liquid that went through my teeth and onto my tongue… was too sweet.

    My body trembled as if it had been struck by electricity. At the same time, the wings of the sky, which had been gloomy as if covered with dark clouds, straightened out and even regained their lost blue color.

    “How about it? Are you still anxious?”

    Atra said, looking down at Lee Ha-yul, who was red-faced and struggling as if he was broken.

    No answer came back. At that, Atra narrowed her eyes. She still hasn’t let go of all her disappointment.

    “Indeed, I’m still anxious. Don’t worry. I will express it until the anxiety disappears.”

    “Uh, ah… ? No- Jjuup, Jjuup… side… ”

    The mouth that was about to protest became blocked.

    Instead, his moist and fragrant lips kept rubbing as if he would do it until he was satisfied.

    The arm wrapped around her waist was pulled strongly, and the hand holding Lee Ha-yul’s head was fixed to prevent Lee Ha-yul from escaping, urging her to kiss him.

    ” side, jjook…”

    In response to such coercive behavior, Lee Ha-yul felt a sense of security.

    Master does not hate me. I have no intention of throwing it away, and I am cherishing it.

    Rather, they are expressing their affection… love.

    The anxiety went away. Instead, a happiness that was difficult to describe settled in my heart.
