120 – Aquaman – 3
In the past, there was a TV entertainment show where celebrities who were not close to each other, or rather, who were not close to each other, were brought together and forced to reconcile by holding a camera. . Since I was at an age where I was more interested in cartoons than variety shows, I had never really watched the program carefully, but I still remember the suffocating atmosphere clearly. Awkward laughter, lost eyes, and mechanical reactions. Now that I think about it, most of the content must have been scripted, but I wonder if the atmosphere was real.
Actually, sitting face to face while seeing each other’s faces isn’t so enjoyable. Human relationships are also a law that requires food choices.
But why am I undergoing such mental torture?
A small cafe near the school. It’s a new place, so the atmosphere is good and the drinks are delicious. If it was the same as usual, I would have been enjoying the tea time I was used to, but it was impossible in this atmosphere. The princess sipped the tea from the cup in front of her. I also quietly drank the coffee in front of my eyes.
Why am I sitting in such an awkward position? It was all Cordelia’s fault.
Right before the afternoon class was over, Cordelia hurriedly ran to me.
“Mikhail, are you free this afternoon?”
“I don’t have any specific appointments.”
“Then give me a minute. I have somewhere to go.”
“Where?”
“A new tea house opened right in front of here. They say the tarts there are so good, but she says you can only buy one per person.”
“Just a moment, well, it’s okay. But why me?”
I readily accepted her request. If you go with me for a while and stand in line, I can help you. It is true that there was nothing to do anyway. However, I was curious about why she would go with me, who doesn’t particularly like dessert.
“Everybody said they had a prior appointment today.”
“Then, what can I do?”
I believed her words without thinking. In fact, she should have been suspicious at this time. Among the members that I can count as friends, except for each other, I had to feel something strange today in that both of them had a prior agreement that only I did not know about. But I believed Cordelia’s words without any doubt.
To be fair, she wasn’t telling her lies. I don’t know about Hestia and Seol-ah’s prior agreement, but the place she actually took me was a new teahouse in front of the school. Judging by the long line, it seems that tarts are famous. The sign in front of the store even said that only 1 per person can be purchased. However, it only hid one much more important matter than those things.
“Cordelia, what the hell is this about?”
“Sorry, but I didn’t lie.”
Arrived at the deepest seat of the tea house guided by Cordelia. The princess was enjoying her tea time in an extremely calm manner. Cordelia smiled awkwardly as she looked at me, embarrassed.
As she was thinking about whether it was a coincidence, she said as the princess gestured to the chair opposite her. I guess she didn’t meet by chance.
“Please sit down.”
“Why is Her Highness here?”
“Because I called Mikhail.”
I glanced back at Cordelia. With her hands behind her back, she blew a whistle that she couldn’t even blow. She didn’t know how to whistle, so all that came out of her mouth was a hiss and a leak. If that’s the case, she shouldn’t pretend to blow the whistle. I was dumbfounded and laughed.
After seeing Cordelia like that, something felt weak in her body. I don’t think there’s any need to be so vigilant. I sat in her seat at Eoyeongbuyeong, hoping to listen to what the princess had to say. But Cordelia slapped her on the back of my head until the very end.
“Then I’ll go first.”
“What, are you going?”
“Hello!”
As soon as I sat down, Cordelia ran away as if she had been waiting. Before I could catch it, it literally sped away at full speed.
That’s real. As I stared blankly at her empty seat as if she had flown away, the princess said,
“Don’t say too much. Because that’s what I asked for. She, well, she’s not particularly malicious.”
“Isn’t she malicious?”
If this isn’t malicious, then what is it?
“It sounds like it was done with good intentions.”
“I will think about it first. So, what did you call me for?”
Unbeknownst to me, the words came out unevenly. It was partly because he didn’t really want to meet him, but to be honest, partly because he still wasn’t sure how to treat the princess. It’s not that I don’t even want to look at it, but it feels a bit awkward.
The first reason was that the other side wasn’t very favorable to me, and the second reason was that it was a delicate relationship to keep a distance from. It’s an ambiguous distance that shouldn’t be too far away, but I don’t want to get too close. But one thing’s for sure: I didn’t feel like getting to know each other while spending this personal time apart.
Until just yesterday, I thought she was thinking the same way as I was. However, what she brought out was a completely different story than I expected.
“Nothing special. I just think we need to get to know each other.”
“Yes?”
So it continues to this day. I got caught up in the whims of that little lady who I couldn’t understand.
The princess took another sip of tea. Taking a peek, the height of the teacup is almost the same as the first time. I guess I can’t drink anything hot. What lip balm While I was thinking these useless thoughts, she opened her mouth first.
“You look like you don’t understand.”
“To be honest, it’s not like we can sit face to face and have a cup of tea, isn’t it?”
“I don’t think so. We can’t continue to face each other like this, can we?”
“I must tell you, the princess said that she hated me first.”
Since I held out her hand to ask if it would be better to improve the relationship first from the other side, I sat down without coldly refusing, but I couldn’t understand her whims. No, just a short while ago, he said he called me a playboy and said he didn’t like flirts, and all of a sudden?
“I told you before. I think you’re a reluctant playboy, but I don’t really hate you.”
“How can I not be called that prostitute?”
“Why? Is it not good?”
“Would you like that? At first, the two of them are just friends. My heart has never been shaken. Isn’t Her Majesty’s view of the opposite s*x too childish to say that she’s a playboy or a prostitute after only seeing this much?”
“What?!”
The princess was furious for a moment. She’s so bad at talking, and it’s true that she said it with the intention of scratching it a little, but I never thought she’d get this angry. It must have touched one of her vices. It’s long that she was only vaguely guessing, but it seems that she tends to react a little sensitively to the expression ‘young’ because she is short.
Then she’ll have to shove her dick more aggressively. Originally, there was a story that said that a dragon would chase and kill anyone who touched the evil, but the dragon in front of me was a hatchling, so that was not the case.
“To be honest, isn’t it? They’re not kids, and they’re just that much of a flirt, isn’t it a little bit like what they’re talking about? I’m not advertising that I don’t have experience with men.”
“No! I don’t think anyone has as much experience with men as I do!”
“Yes? Are you serious?”
I asked with a puzzled expression. No, no matter how proud you are, do you say that with your own mouth? No, what Everyone’s opinion is different, so there might be some people who think that’s an advantage, but in this world of aristocrats who pretend to be conservative on the outside even though they work hard on the inside, no one will consider that an advantage.
The princess also spit it out without thinking, and then coughed and evaded it, as if she wanted to oops.
“Kuhm, I was a little excited.”
“A little bit?”
“Be quiet.”
I fanned her face with my hand to see if she was embarrassed.
“The story keeps leaking in different directions. Anyway, what I wanted to say was that it was a matter of whether it would be good for the two of us to reconcile.”
“Reconciliation only happens when two people fight. I was in the position of being hated one-sidedly, so what kind of reconciliation is it?”
I replied bluntly. No, which country’s law is it to say that we should reconcile after pushing the other side out saying we don’t like it?
“You’re secretly narrow-minded.”
“It’s not that I’m narrow-minded, it’s that Her Highness has no case.”
“You talk too much.”
“If the words that come are good, the words that go out are also good.”
I wonder if they stared at each other like that for a long time, the princess was the first to raise the white flag. She declared, raising her hands slightly.
“Okay. I will apologize.”
“Yes. I will accept anything.”
“Wow, that’s bad luck.”
“Should I be as good as Her Highness the Princess?”
She rolled her eyes as if she was dying of hate. Well, what do you do when you look at it like that? Feeling much better, I asked something I had been curious about since before.
“So, why did you suddenly think that way?”
“Suddenly?”
“Isn’t the person who said that he didn’t like me, that he didn’t like it, that he didn’t like it, and he had a reason to apologize and ask for reconciliation?”
“I told you. I thought it was a bit awkward to be in an awkward relationship like this…”
I stared into her princess eyes. You can’t be in an awkward relationship like this? Don’t say anything funny. Yes. If I was going to think that way, I wouldn’t have let her dislike it like that. She might have even pretended to hide it. Perhaps, just like me, she defined our relationship as ‘not that I hate to see her, but she’s a bit awkward’ and was thinking of keeping that distance. However, the sudden change in attitude means that there was an opportunity to change one’s mind.
The princess must have glared at her for a while, as if resigned, she lowered her head.
“That… , I heard it from Miss Cordelia.”
“What are you talking about?”
She rarely slurred her words.
“That, last weekend….”
“Yes. Last weekend.”
“Oh really! It’s not that I’m campaigning, and if you’ve done this, you’ll understand.”
Suddenly, she burst into anger. What is this When I looked at the strange person with the eyes that I wanted to see, he hesitated for a long time before finally confessing.
“At that time, I was just rolling over in pain and suddenly woke up…. I heard from Miss Cordelia that it was a really dangerous situation.”
“Ah…. How much did Cordelia tell you?”
This human is real. How the hell did she even talk about? Even though she was on her side, Lira didn’t want her identity to be revealed to her princess, so she was deliberately hiding it. She said she gave it all up? I put my hand on my temple. However, the answer that came back was unexpected.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Yes?”
I asked with a stupid expression. Didn’t you say anything? So what did you hear? Seeing my stupid expression, she added an additional explanation.
“At that time, it was really dangerous, and they only told us that they protected us, and nothing else. No matter how much I asked, he wouldn’t open his mouth.”
“But do you believe that?”
No, then what on earth did you believe in the story that he saved you? To my question, the princess stuck out her mouth and replied.
“So, don’t you believe my friend? I don’t think Cordelia would lie to me for nothing. Besides, I didn’t say anything, but I also felt a bit of an unpleasant presence at that time.”
I nodded. Certainly, it seems that his intuition is quite sharp, perhaps because he grew up in danger. She said with her relieved face.
“Are you done now?”
“So, in the end, did you come back from such a long way because you wanted to say thank you to me?”
Once again, the princess was silent. Do I need to go through so many difficult processes to be able to just say thank you for helping me? It’s completely incomprehensible to me. He’s a really proud man. It’s not that I don’t understand as much as the status is the status, but it’s like a child that it’s hard to say again because I’m going to do something like this and face it in person.
I decided to give her a little push on her back.
“Let’s do it.”
“What?”
“Thank you, and let’s do better in the future.” After all, you haven’t heard yet, have you?”
“No, do you want to hear that in this situation?”
“What needs to be pointed out must be clearly pointed out.”
Somewhere, like a snake jumping over a wall, I want to cut it smoothly. There’s no way. I’ve come this far, but it’s rather a waste to just skip it.
“How are you feeling? To say thank you to the person who was slandering me like that.”
“Shut up.”
As I smirked and teased her, the princess stared at me sharply. Her little shoulders trembled as she shuddered.
“Go, go, thank you. And forward… , Please take care of me.”
“Yes, I am.”
If you look closely, you can barely see her.
“Are you satisfied now?”
“Yes, I am very satisfied.”
I am extremely satisfied.
