31 – Clean Up – 2
“What’s wrong with people who don’t like flirts?”
Seol-A did not blink an eye and refuted.
“You have to do it secretly. I don’t intend to hide it?”
I got goosebumps at her remarks. How twisted was his view of love in a short period of time. You said you lived on Earth for over 20 years?
“I told you before. I have a fiancé now. It is a body with an owner. I’ve been consistently watching only Hestia from the beginning. When did I ever give Seol-ah a piece of cake?”
I am proud. Because of her operation, I allowed her to grow a few times under her Hestia certification, but other than that, not once….
“You accepted the attack on you earlier.”
“That can’t be helped! They run at me crying, but how do I avoid that?”
There was. No, but this is a bit unfair.
“It’s strange to think that it doesn’t matter even if I have a fiance in the first place. You said you’ve lived on Earth for over 20 years, so why are you doing that?”
“Since I came to a strange world, my thoughts must have become strange.”
“This world is also monogamous.”
“I’m going to change that?”
Her determination was firm. It seems that they are really thinking of changing the law to polygamy.
“Let’s say I changed it after giving up 100 steps. Even so, me and Hestia will make Seol-ah….”
“Your what?”
“I have no intention of accepting you as a second wife.”
She chose the word her second wife as a result of her deep thought, although it was short on what to call her. Her concubine or second is kind of like that.
“What are you talking about?”
Suddenly, Seol-ah was serious. Did something in what I just said offended her?
“Who is the second wife?”
“Is that a problem now?”
She came out with a very brazen attitude. Does that mean she wants to push Hestia away now and take her place as his main wife?
“Just kidding, kidding. Anyway, I like your fiancée’s side of the family better, and I don’t even want the original wife position. If only love would be shared equally.”
“Are you really okay with that?”
“The important issue is love, not first and second wife.”
“Isn’t the important problem that I don’t want to hurt Hestia and that I can’t please Seol-ah?”
Why are you slowing down by yourself? She is sorry for her, but I don’t have the heart to accept her crush, and I don’t want to hurt Hestia by doing something like that.
“Then it doesn’t matter as long as your fiancé gives permission?”
“There’s no way they’ll allow it. And even with permission, I don’t like it.”
“That’s something we don’t know yet. Are you really confident that you won’t budge even if I attack you for the rest of your academy life?”
To be honest, I’m not confident. My head says no, but my body is honest. If she hadn’t thought of her Hestia even when she was saving her earlier, she would have almost hit her lips with her.
“Yes.”
But to be honest, to see what it would look like. I put an iron plate on my face and lied.
“Then do you want to bet?”
“I don’t know what kind of bet it is, but I won’t.”
The best way not to lose a bet is to never bet in the first place. What the hell do you believe in her and her bet.
“Are you scared?”
“Yes.”
She provoked her, but to no avail. I’m not a simple person to the point of falling for provocations.
“Just listen to the contents. If you don’t have any feelings for me by the time you graduate, I’ll just quietly give up.”
“What if I get emotional?”
“Then you should accept me. I’ll convince my fiancé, so you don’t have to worry.”
I thought about the terms of the bet. Can you call this a bet?
“This is not a bet, isn’t it obvious?”
“No. If you decline the bet, I will continue to confront you after you graduate and marry Hestia.”
“Are you crazy?!”
I squealed. What kind of trouble is this woman talking about now? It’s dangerous to push on a man who has a fiancé now, but you’re going to hit a married man who’s already married?
“What a surprise! Why are you screaming?”
“You’re talking crazy!”
“Then you can accept the bet.”
“Then, what is the criterion for having that feeling?”
“I’ll leave it to your conscience.”
I thought about it a little. It’s best not to have any feelings in the first place, but if you do, shouldn’t you just grit your teeth and deny it?
“Isn’t the condition too favorable for me?”
“Because I believe in you.”
“What?”
“Bada, you are not the type to lie about things like that.”
A hook knife came into my conscience. The triangle in my mind is spinning like a motor. It stings a lot
“… How much do you believe in me?”
“I want to believe in the person I like no matter what I do.”
“That’s a bean pod.”
“I know. And I know you just tried to lie to yourself.”
How did you know?
“How did you know just now?” I was thinking. You don’t know, but you can’t lie either. You can see everything you think on your face. It’s more because I have a cold impression. Your fiance or Cordelia or you are there.”
“Isn’t being on the same level as Cordelia a bit too much?”
The fact that I can’t lie is shocking, but it’s even more shocking that I’m involved with those two. Anyway, it’s not to the extent that the two of them get involved.
And why would you accept a bet when you know what I’m saying is a lie?
“And why did you say you believed me when you knew I was going to lie?”
“Because I have confidence. You don’t lie to your fiancé, do you?”
“It’s not that I don’t do it at all. Now, meeting like this, I hid my identity.”
“You don’t do it except when it’s really unavoidable.”
As Seol-ah said, I am trying my best not to lie to Hestia. She doesn’t want to hide anything or make secrets from Hestia anymore.
“I’m going to make sure you don’t lie to me by the time you graduate.”
I warned her in advance.
“I’ll tell you in advance, but now you’ll stick to me and won’t accept any of this.”
“I know. Just watch.”
“I knew very clearly from this incident that Seol-ah has no talent for planning things, right?”
Now the operation is over. There’s no reason not to hit her iron wall anymore. And I don’t think I’ll fall for her crappy strategy.
“And one more. Did you apologize to Cordelia?”
“Apology?”
“It’s the original work anyway, and everything has been destroyed. Then there’s nothing wrong with apologizing to Cordelia, right?”
I was always worried about the relationship between Seola and Cordelia. I don’t have rational feelings for Seol-ah, but anyway, I want to be friends as we are the only understanding of each other. But if I stay with Seol-Ah as her friend, the position of Cordelia, who had a great fight with her, would not change. If possible, I want the two to reconcile and resolve things well.
“…… “
She looks troubled. I recall how she howled that she couldn’t feel any emotion, that the characters in her original book all felt like her fictional characters.
“Can you still do that?”
“What?”
“Everyone feels like a fake…” .”
“Not anymore.”
Seola denied my words.
“I definitely felt it through this incident. I thought everything was going the way I knew it, but it wasn’t like that. It was only natural that I made it go that way. Wilhelm, that pervert caught me acting, and when I was kidnapped and imprisoned, he came to me. This world may be a world in a novel, but people really live here.”
There was sincerity in her words.
“Then it doesn’t matter if you choose someone other than me?”
“You really do. How can you say that?”
Seola rolled her eyes at me. She looks a little disappointed with my words.
“Why?”
“Now, it’s not that I like you because you’re from Earth, I just like you.”
“You keep jabbing, but I’m not shaking.”
“It’s not like K.O. With a jab.”
Seola smirked. She has been pretending to be a request since earlier, but there is no sign of it.
“So are you going to apologize?”
“Okay.”
“Why was I worrying just now?”
“I was wondering if you would accept my apology now.”
“It’s okay. If I apologize first, will you accept it?”
If they don’t accept it right away, they will probably accept it right away if they say, “The one who forgives wins. Knowing how to forgive is also part of chivalry.” Although she is a little too simple and childlike, Cordelia is by no means a villain.
“Okay. I’ll do it tomorrow.”
In the end, Seol-ah accepted my words. She promised to apologize to Cordelia the very next day. It eased her mind a bit. It’s very uncomfortable to be among women who have fought.
“Then what are you going to do now?”
“What should I do?”
I roughly asked all the things I wanted to ask Seol-ah. Why did you suddenly ignore me, what was your new plan?
First of all, in the form of a bet, her crush on me was also settled. Anyway, I just need to hit her iron wall until she graduates.
The relationship between Seol-ah and Cordelia, which has been bothering her, can also be resolved with her apology. All that remains is the plan for the future.
“Do you intend to live in this world after graduating from the academy? Or do you have other plans?”
“Well, to be honest, I don’t know. What now? The original….”
“Is the original sound still available?”
“Who is following me? As I said before, I definitely felt it through this incident. The original is just the original, and the incident flows differently depending on how we do it. I just wanted to know what to do when in the original work, they got married right after graduating from the academy.”
After saying that, Seol-ah looked me up and down. The gaze is scary. It’s a gaze that seems to eat me.
“What was Seol-ah doing on Earth?”
“Why?”
“I thought that her boyfriend must have been very caught up.”
Judging from the eyes that were just looking at me and the words that I don’t mind having a second wife as long as she loves me, I’m sure she wasn’t the kind of person who was open and enterprising in love that I couldn’t handle….
“No!”
When she heard me, she screamed at her with a look of astonishment.
“No, it wouldn’t exist if it didn’t exist. Why are you screaming like that?”
“It’s because you misunderstand nonsense! I’ve never held hands with a man before!”
I pondered for a while on how to respond to Seol-ah’s sudden announcement of a mother-to-be solo. She, too, blushed and wiggled her limbs, probably realizing that she had said something embarrassing after she spoke.
“Oh, I did too, so please do your best.”
I squeezed out some comforting words. Actually, I’ve held hands, but I’ve never been in a proper relationship, so I’m sure it’s safe?
However, Seol-ah ran away with a reddened face as if my consolation was not much comfort.
“I’ll go first!”
She didn’t even finish her words and ran away at a speed never seen before. The final ‘Crab!’ Sounded from a far distance away. No, is it such a shame to be single?
I went back to the dormitory and went to sleep.
–
“Mikhail!”
Seola was held in my arms. I became her lover. She and I went around together and made many memories. I was not particularly talkative, and Seol-ah was talking hard to herself.
“Shh! Mikhail, this is the library. You came to study with us.”
The two enjoyed a date at the library in preparation for midterm exams. Seol-ah, who was sitting next to me, whispered in my ear. Her thin fingers run up and down her thighs.
“How is it, Mikhail? Here’s where I found it. Isn’t it pretty?”
I applied for a night out at the dormitory, laid down on my bed, and talked while watching the stars all night. The stars seem to fall from the night sky.
“Let’s go over there this time! It’s a haunted house. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?”
I also visited her school festival with her. She was very excited and dragged me around with something to eat in one hand.
“Mikhail, don’t say anything.”
On the hill where the sunset sets, Seol-ah and I are standing. No matter how many years have passed, there is no trace of youth on Seol-ah and I’s faces. Seol-ah closes her eyes and presses her lips towards me. I also close her eyes and respond to her. The lips of the two overlap and the background changes.
“Bada, shall we go to the movies?”
“Sister. You saw a movie yesterday too.”
“How are you? Where do you want to go?”
The two are standing on the streets of the Earth. I’m not Mikhail, I’m crossing the arms of a woman with the body of a river. Who is that woman with my arms crossed? I felt she was her tongue. I could just feel it. I think this happened last time too. Seol-ah is a beauty with straight black hair and a dog figure. She has the feeling that she is the most popular female student in her department. Is that her true form?
When she asked where she wanted to go, I pointed somewhere with my fingertips.
“How is it over there?”
“From daylight?”
“It’s nice.”
The place I pointed to was a motel. What? Where?
– Bang!
Is it déjà vu? I think this happened last time too. I rolled out of bed and woke up from my dream. I took it to the floor and grabbed my sore ass and got up from my seat. It’s just the right time to wake up.
As I brushed my teeth with a blank expression, I thought about the dream I had just had. It is as vivid as if someone engraved it into your brain. Even now, I feel as if I can visit the places of my dreams one by one. Minus the earth Maybe it’s because something like that happened yesterday, I’m dreaming all sorts of things. It seems that I was worried about myself.
I immediately washed up and prepared for school. You have to go out during this time to go to school with Hestia. I think it’s too fast, but it’s not too hard because I feel like I’m fulfilling the romance of going to school with my girlfriend, which I couldn’t fulfill on Earth.
I headed to the place where I always met her, just in time for her usual time out.
“Hestie… ah?”
“Hello.”
“Next to… ?”
“Since you went through such a difficult thing yesterday, I will be helping you a little for the time being.”
Seola was standing next to Hestia. Hestia you are not that. She’s that woman, she’s a very dangerous woman. It might be a very big threat to your and my happy married life.
