80 – Juliet’s Maid – 4
Shiraishi’s eyes widen as he enters the house. He took out her barley tea, poured it into her glass, and spoke to her.
“Sit anywhere comfortable.”
Shiraishi, who was looking around the room, opened the window to look outside, looked at the desk, or looked around the house. There isn’t a lot of furniture or objects that are that interesting.
Or how can people live in such a small room? Do you find that surprising?
Well, this room is less than 1/20th of Shiraishi’s living room.
Shiraishi lived in an environment that was completely opposite to the one I was accustomed to living in, such as small rooms. It seemed natural for her to look at this narrow studio apartment with wonder.
“Ah… Thank you.”
When I handed her the glass, Shiraishi smiled brightly as she accepted it with both hands.
“Whoa…” .”
She sat down, taking a sip of her glass.
That spot was on my bed.
“……… ….”
Turns her head away from Shiraishi, who is sweating and fanning herself with her hands in her small, hot room.
She thought as she found the remote control and turned on her air conditioner. I never would have thought that Shiraishi would be the first guest to enter this room.
“So… What happened?”
I asked, sitting on the floor across from him.
I’m sure Aiden is worried, so I’ll have to send it to him as soon as possible. She couldn’t just break up.
Shiraishi followed me to the front of the house. Why… ? This was not an incident to just pass by.
It was an unexpected situation, and I had no idea what Shiraishi was thinking when he did this.
“Ah…… That is… Ho Ho….”
I quietly watched her trying to explain away her laughter.
If you think about it, Shiraishi today was strange.
She also gave me an unexpected role.
I wanted to know her inner thoughts.
“I ended up getting lost by chance… “There’s no way you can believe such an obvious lie.”
Of course she was Gilchi.
Therefore, Aiden’s cell phone was equipped with GPS that could track her location, and the reason she called me was probably because she knew she was here.
“If you do this, it looks like I brought Shiraishi to her house.”
You may really be misunderstood like that.
As expected, Shiraishi continued to follow me.
“What should I say to Aiden?” .”
“Ah, ah… that… ! Minsu, there is nothing wrong with you! It’s all me… !”
She raised her head and shouted.
“Yes. “Did Shiraishi follow me secretly?”
“That’s right! Oh!”
With her ease, the newspaper caught her and she threw her body back, covering her open mouth.
“As expected… ….”
However, the reason was unknown.
I don’t think she’s ever been viewed as suspicious or disliked enough to do something like this.
She actually thought that she was building her relationship well.
“……… Well, aside from how to explain it to Aiden.”
I can’t explain that I brought Shiraishi to her house or that she followed me.
Because both are strange.
“Please explain. “Shiraishi.”
“………… Yes.”
Only then did she look at me, nodding her head helplessly.
There should be no unpleasant things that bother you. Until I found out the full story of her day, I had no intention of sending her away.
***
When I came to my senses, I found myself in a street I had never seen before.
The only person I can rely on is the person behind me in the distance.
I followed Minsu aimlessly and entered the first building I saw.
From noble mtl dot com
After I found out that it was Minsu’s house, I stood in front of the door and hesitated.
I couldn’t ring the doorbell, so I wandered around for a while and then the moment I put my ear to the door.
“I’ll look for it right away…” ! Maybe he’s still in school… !”
I ran into that person who came out just then.
“……… Mr. Aiden. “I found it.”
After entering the house, I felt anxious as I received the heavy look in his eyes.
After quenching her throat with the barley tea I was given, I set the cup down.
“…… What happened. “Shiraishi.”
I can’t lie any further than this.
I was not good at deceiving others.
“……… To Mr. Minsu….”
“Huh?”
“I wanted to apologize!”
I had no choice but to tell it.
Starting from giving him the role today.
I was worried that I couldn’t apologize for that and ended up following him.
I was not good at hiding my emotions.
Seeing her reconcile with the female students, and following her as she leaves school with Miss Haru.
I ended up telling everything, even the things that made me feel sad.
I even got ugly jealous when I saw people getting along well with other people.
Minsu looked at me silently and listened quietly.
“I was entrusted with being Juliet’s servant…” It’s the same. I want you to always be by my side… ! I want you to look at me… ! “Stop without even realizing it!”
As my emotions heightened, I couldn’t stay still.
When Minsu’s face was right in front of him, he stretched out his body and realized that he was close to him.
“Ah, ah… Sorry, sorry… Stop without even realizing it….”
I was embarrassed and took a step back.
I sit down, turn my head towards him, and take a breath.
At that time, I realized that the place where I was sitting was on his bed, so I jumped up as if I had been burned.
“Ah, ah… !”
“Why, what’s wrong, Shiraishi?!”
Currently, this is a house where a man lives alone. I was sitting on that bed.
Not having anything to say even if attacked, immodest behavior. If I showed my father like this, I would have been banned from going out for 100 days.
“Oh, it’s nothing!? “Don’t worry about it!”
Realizing that he acted without hesitation to the point where I had nothing to say even if he misunderstood me, I tried to distance myself and looked around.
However, no matter where I looked, there was no place to hide or even a room to go into.
“Shi, Shiraishi!? “That’s a closet!”
Seeing how embarrassed I was, even he stood up and stretched out his hand.
“Ah, ah! Okay! “Yeah, that’s right!”
When I step back, there is a wall.
Right before my eyes is Mr. Minsu.
“Calm down, Shiraishi. Because it’s okay! Because nothing happened… !”
“Ah, ah… ! No! “Please don’t do this!”
“I’m not doing anything!”
While we were fighting for a while, we stopped fighting when we heard a sound hitting the wall right behind us.
“…… Because if you shout, everything will be heard. “No matter what happens, you don’t have to worry.”
He let out a small breath and took a step away from me and sat down on the floor.
“…… Yes….”
Feeling extreme shame, I also bent my knees and sat down neatly.
There is one cup between that person and me.
It was placed as if separating us in a small room.
As if this line cannot be crossed.
“I’m sorry… It’s my first time being in a space like this, just me and the guy… “Stop without even realizing it.”
“Ah… I see “It might be uncomfortable.”
I saw the person muttering with a bitter smile.
“Oh, no…” ! It’s not uncomfortable at all. Rather, my heart was pounding… !”
There was no doubt that I was broken right now.
When I followed him from school to here, heavy emotions were weighing me down.
However, when I faced him and became alone in this space, a light confusion, like the wind, swept over me.
Equanimity.
I must have lost that feeling today.
“…… “Shiraishi.”
I saw the person calling me with a slight raised eyebrow.
I thought that the man in front of me might have taken those feelings from me.
“…… Yes.”
The person scratched the back of his neck for a moment and looked hesitant for a while.
However, he soon seemed to have made up his mind and raised his head and opened his mouth.
“I will always be by your side.”
“……… ….”
“You don’t have to worry.”
In that one word.
“Ah… ….”
My body, full of tension, slowly lost strength.
The feelings that were weighed down or lightly swept away calmly subside.
“You promised. “I decided to help you.”
“……… Yes. Clearly… “You said so.”
I felt my confused mind finding its rightful place.
“There is nothing to be anxious about. “I won’t neglect you because of other relationships or work.”
I looked at him blankly.
As he said, I guess I was always anxious.
Because I didn’t want to lose this precious relationship.
“It doesn’t matter what the role is… “I will continue to listen to you.”
“……… ….”
The person laughed mischievously along with the joke.
“Yes…. “I trust you.”
“Yes.”
There was a moment of silence.
I can’t believe I’ve ever felt embarrassed, anxious, or made a fuss in this small space.
Feeling supremely comfortable, I raised my glass and took a sip.
“…… “If you keep going like this, you’ll be able to get closer to Yuuki very quickly.”
“……… ….”
I raised my head at the one word he muttered to himself as he looked into space.
“Let’s keep working hard until then.”
There was no answer.
That’s right… That was certainly such a promise.
Until we connect Yuuki-sama with me.
After that time….
“…… Yes. Go together… cheer up!”
I was bad at lying.
Even when making up emotions or trying to suppress them.
But at that moment, I nodded my head as hard as I could and laughed along with the person.
If I didn’t do that, it seemed like this relationship would break down.
