42 – Interpretation of dreams before dreams – 2
“I think we were like this last time too.”
I feel a sense of déjà vu somewhere. Apparently, last time Seol-ah and I had a good time talking about hahahaha-ho-ho, but at the end we parted ways because we couldn’t understand each other’s thoughts. Again, I don’t like that ending.
“Yes. The only difference is that this time I choose to talk rather than flee. Say it. Why don’t you want to go back?”
Seola was serious. She was serious and calm. She chose to talk rather than run away because she didn’t understand each other like last time.
Nevertheless, she looks like she can’t understand me for wanting to remain in this world. So it was more difficult. I don’t even know why I want to stay. I just didn’t feel like going back to Earth. To be precise, I don’t want to stay in this world, but I hate going back to Earth. I don’t know why. I’m embarrassed too. I’m not a kid, where are the emotions without a reason?
No matter how much this world brings me wealth, honor, and beauty, I have lived on Earth for over 20 years. How can your thoughts change this much after 3 months of coming to this world? Leaving all of my friends on Earth? It can’t be. In fact, Seol-Ah’s expression doesn’t understand me at all.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I got. Even Seol-ah, who tried to stop answering me, shut her mouth, perhaps seeing my confused expression.
“Me too, I don’t know. I don’t want to stay here, I don’t want to go back. I definitely want to see my family and friends, but….”
“Then let’s stop talking here.”
Seol-ah listened to me and gave up neatly. I was puzzled. She is Seol-ah, who wanted to return home. She got her clue to go back to Earth, but she stops talking about it because I don’t want to go. Besides, I have no particular reason. They are just saying they don’t want to go, as if the children are using them in droves. Her guilt reared her head in her sly.
“Don’t make that face. It’s not like I can copy the contents of my dream just because I’m struggling alone anyway.”
“So more so.”
“Let’s hold on to the person who says he doesn’t want to go back and try to go back together. Besides, there was a time when I caused you a nuisance after running out of control by myself. It’s not something that’s right in front of you, so let’s think about it slowly.”
I opened my mouth at her words. This cozy feeling that seems to cover anything is like….
“Mom?”
“Are you crazy?! Who are you calling mom? Call me sister, not mom!”

My words shocked Seol-ah. Her generous atmosphere up until just before that was shattered.
“Just kidding, kidding. Seol-ah suddenly looks very mature.”
I didn’t know when we first met, but did you change your mind after the kidnapping? Also, Lily’s influence on her has completely disappeared. Right now, I really feel like I’m talking to an adult. There is only a two-year age difference, but I wonder if the difference between a college student and a member of society is this big.
“Because you and I are only 2 years apart? If you’re going to call me, call me noona instead of mom. Try it now. Seol-ah noona.”
“Mr. Seol-ah.”
“Even if I die soon, my sister won’t do it.”
She grunted. No, it’s not hard to call her older sister, but she’s something, I have to say that she’s slightly reluctant. After all, she is now Mikhail and Lily is the same age as her. Besides, if I change the title here to noona, I think her psychological hurdles will be too low. To be honest, I still feel a bit dangerous.
“Coming back to the main topic, I struggled to say that I wanted to go back alone, and no matter what I tried, nothing worked, right? Then I’ll take my time slowly and try hard to convince you.”
“Persuasion?”
“Is it seduction rather than persuasion?”
Her eyes turned provocative. Her body froze for a moment. She feels like a frog in front of her snake.
“Seol-ah. Honestly, it’s a lie to say that I was a Mosul on Earth.”
No matter how you think about it, it’s a b*tch. The girl she saw in her dreams was the owner of a look that would never look like a face until she was 25 years old. Besides, judging from what she’s doing now, she’s not particularly timid or anything. Considering how she looks sometimes, wouldn’t she be rather active?
“Mr. Lee. It was a real mock!”
“How can you believe that? Do you know that sometimes you look at me and look at me like you’re going to lick my lips or eat me?”
Every time Seol-ah does that, an innocent man like me freezes. She complained of her injustice, pounding her chest as if her anger was bursting with my suspicions. No, but isn’t it funny that she gets angry that she was a moron? She’s not even bragging.
“After coming out of a girls’ high school and being sold by a friend in my first year of university, I’ve only read Romance books, but what kind of romance is dating!”
“Okay, okay. I’ll believe it. Wouldn’t it be a compliment if you said that it wouldn’t be so? Why are you so angry?”
“It is sad that I have been alone for 25 years, but it was because I was unfair to hear that I must have been in a relationship that I had never tried before. You were the first to like someone!”
She screamed and covered her own mouth. No, it suddenly jumps in like this again. I felt ashamed at Seol-Ah’s words that she didn’t even turn on her blinker. It was more embarrassing than I thought to hear that someone likes me. That’s why you’re telling me not to make public confessions. Besides, it’s more burdensome because I can’t accept her feelings.
I threw a joke to get out of the situation as naturally as possible.
“I’m sorry. I really believe it. Ms. Seol-ah is a fool, should we even do three prongs?”
“Don’t do it.”
“Yes.”
Fortunately, she laughed at my joke.
–
Cordelia has been in a great mood these past few days. It was no exaggeration to say that she seemed to fly. There is no particular reason. The long-awaited sequel to the romance novel hasn’t come out, and it’s not like she’s made any significant progress in her training.
I just made a new friend. But just that alone makes me so happy. Even Cordelia herself was amazed. Of course, even now, Hestia is still number one among herself, but the new friends she has made after almost 10 years have been a thrilling stimulus to her.
They were even heroines who were born into a family of knights and tried to become knights in the body of a woman. Doesn’t Cordelia look like the heroine of her most beloved novel, Here and the Wolves! It’s Cordelia herself. She has family problems, so she took her swordsmanship lessons and joined her equestrian club to show off that feeling, even while she was attending the academy. However, they are truly the bodies to become female knights.
In that sense, Cordelia was very satisfied with the fact that she became friends with them. She thought of Mikhail, although naturally she connected herself with them, honestly there was no connection to speak of and she just talked to them.
‘Why did he help me like this when he himself has no friends?’
Cordelia was troubled. What Cordelia didn’t know was that, in fact, for Mikhail, talking to girls he didn’t know and slipping away was such a simple thing that he couldn’t even claim to help. It was a simple task for Mikhail, but it was a very thick and high wall for her.
Cordelia’s thoughts continued to bite her tail. Come to think of it, it seems that from the first time we met, she only received help in this and that. It was Mikhail who stopped her from crossing the line of violence on the eve of her eve, and it was Mikhail who helped her when she was about to have her admission to the academy revoked. She doesn’t want to admit it, but she doesn’t have any friends as he said, so she came to herself first when she was in class alone, and it was Mikhail who made a new friend for herself.
‘What is it? Did I really only receive it from Mikhail?’
After much thought, Cordelia realized that she had done nothing for him. If she had to ask, she might have just lent ‘Here and the Wolves’. Why is she still friends? In fact, if she were a normal person, she would have been reluctant to associate with her at the point of her rampage on the eve. She is a friend of her fiancé, but she could keep her distance if she wanted to.
From Mikhail’s point of view, she is just a friend of her fiancé, and she considers herself to be her friend as well, so she naturally helped her, but in Cordelia’s mind, who has lived her whole life in a narrow human relationship, that fact could not imagine
“Maybe he likes Miss Cordelia?”
What Cordelia went to after all her troubles was her new female knight (Jin) friends. She was the kind of person who didn’t have many people to consult with on a story like this in the first place, so it’s natural for her. You can’t ask Mikhail himself or Hestia.
“I told you before. Because Mikhail is Hestia single-minded.”
Cordelia frowned. She is called a female knight (Jin), but she is still a girl at heart, so maybe it’s because she’s still a girl at heart. Cordelia was dumbfounded. Seeing how Mikhail treats Hestia, I can’t help but think that way.
“How much Mikhail cares for Hestia. She always tries to stick around, and the compliments on pretty, nice, cute, endless.”
“Miss Cordelia only knows one thing, but not two.”
One of the female knights (Jin) stepped out, kicking her tongue. She was the only friend out of the five who liked romance novels, so she was a good conversationalist with Cordelia.
“Normally, men are not honest with the woman they like.”
“I think so!”
People around her agree with her opinion. Her shoulders went up, and she herself had no experience with men at all, so she began to give advice that could not be achieved just by reading romance novels. Unfortunately she didn’t have any of them properly experienced with men, so she got a confirmation bias in her opinion that her advice was plausible, and started rolling in her randomness.
Cordelia’s thin ears trembled. Could it be real? The countless romance novels she had read passed through her head. Among them, of course, the so-called tsundere male protagonist also existed. Of course, Cordelia didn’t know the word tsundere, but it was in common that she was a disingenuous male lead who behaved badly for no reason.
“No!”
Cordelia screamed. In an instant, she was overcome with indescribable emotions. It’s a strange sensation, her heart throbbing even as she pounded a little. Mikhail says he likes me? If you honestly ask her if she likes it or not, she’s on the good side, but she never once thought of it that way.
Once I thought that way, the fact that he stepped up for me on the eve of the festival, played pranks on me all the time, stayed with me as a friend, and helped me to make friends became a perfect match.
Cordelia remembered Mikhail praising her. Had she said she was tall, her red hair was beautiful, she was pure and cared for her friends. At the time, she was furious and brushed it off, but it was too detailed for her to have just made up on the spot. And besides, she was a little to think of herself, but she was also an accurate expression of Cordelia herself.
Isn’t Mikhail really looking at himself that way? It may have been because I was embarrassed after confessing without knowing it, so I passed it off as a joke. No, almost certainly Cordelia’s face flushed as she remembered her compliment.
‘What should I do?’
I don’t hate Mikhail, but he doesn’t want to take him away by driving a nail through his best friend’s chest. Hestia didn’t really like Mikhail yet, but Cordelia noticed that she was slowly opening up to her. In her thoughts, Mikhail was already the male protagonist whose heart was shaken by himself.
‘Staying like this will hurt each other.’
Cordelia came to a conclusion after quite a long and serious consideration. Even for Hestia, who knows nothing about her, and Mikhail, who is lost, she needs to step out for herself. Cordelia no longer heard the clatter around her. She decided not to be close to Mikhail any longer. Such a relationship would inevitably hurt herself, Hestia, and Mikhail. She was deeply immersed in the main character of the drama.
“Hello, Lady Deneb.”
“……”
In this way, Cordelia’s distancing began for reasons that Mikhail could never know, even if he knew, he was crazy and jumped out of his head.
