83 – Threatening Kiss
I managed to look away from Sael’s lips. But she, Sael, seemed already conscious of my gaze on her.
It was evident from the fact that Shael’s mouth, which had been firmly closed to not speak, remained open.
“⋯Ah.”
Shael spits out a silent voice. Then Shael closed her mouth and was silent. It meant that he would leave the difficult task to me.
This time, Shael tightly closed her eyes. She turned her head towards me as if she had given her permission.
I also closed my eyes and approached Shael.
It was a very tense moment. At the same time, it was also an exciting moment.
However, unlike that feeling, meeting Shael was not easy.
Certainly, at this distance, he would have had more than enough contact with Shael.
Feeling strange, she opened her closed eyes. After that, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Shael, who was slowly pulling her head out.
“⋯What are you doing?”
“⋯.”
It was Shael who was silent. Because of her shyness, she somehow wondered, even though she knew she would.
Perhaps, Sael may not be ready for her yet.
She barely held back the look on her face as she tried to approach Shael. She wanted to give Sael more time to make sure that if he didn’t crave me, she would.
That foolish idea was soon erased.
“I’m not stupid…”
I heard Sael’s voice. At the same time, Shael grabbed her by the shoulder. That you’ll never run away
Sael, who was looking at her like that, approached me.
⋯ Wasn’t it me who pulled her head out first?
I couldn’t put that fact into my mouth. Because Shael’s face was getting closer.
Shael, who had been approaching me with her eyes closed, stopped as she trembled. It was a difficult task for her shy Shael.
To put it bluntly, it was a tense moment for me too.
But I didn’t want to pass the situation over just because I was nervous. I grabbed Shael’s shoulder as he stopped.
Shael’s lips enter her eyes. Moment of tension. At the same time, the moment when the mind rises.
I approached Sael with both eyes closed just like he did earlier.
She felt Sael’s body tremble on her shoulder, but ⋯ she soon stabilized her body.
It was after that that Sael and I met. My lips were touching Shael’s.
At last, the moment I had hoped for had arrived.
We took our hands off each other’s shoulders that we were holding onto in a funny way. As if they craved each other more, they just stuck close.
It was only then that I could feel the real feeling of kissing Shael. It was an unbelievable situation, but…
Shael’s warm and soft lips made me accept the situation.
I could faintly feel Sael’s breath. Shael exhaled as weakly as possible, wondering if his breath might reach me.
She almost laughed. Because I was in the same state as Shael.
I suddenly felt something on my arm.
Shael’s hand, which must have been hovering aimlessly in the air, grabbed me.
Shael’s shaking hand. I could feel Shael’s hand giving me strength as if I would never let go.
Daeaeaeng-!
A sonorous bell. The bell announcing the morning of the Holy Kingdom rang.
Sael would have been surprised by that loud sound, but rather, Sael calmly kissed her with me.
She wrapped her arms around Sael’s waist, feeling strangely satisfied with the unbelievable situation. Shael’s breathing, which had been feeling soft, gradually became rougher.
I tried to stop coveting Shael’s lips because of that. But she couldn’t. Because Sael was holding the back of my head to prevent me from falling.
Apparently, Sael tried to pull his head back as her kiss deepened. Then, where did Sael go, only Sael, who never let me go, was here.
The heat on his face is getting hotter and hotter. It was fortunate that the window was open.
Because the wind that started from the distant horizon came out and cooled Sael’s heat even a little.
If it wasn’t for that, my face would have turned red like Shael’s ashamed. Maybe, even now, when the wind is cooling the heat, my face is blushing.
Did you notice how I feel?
Shael is getting closer and closer. As if responding to Sael’s behavior, he hugged him even more. After that, I thought I was curious about Shael’s expression.
Are you kissing me in a calm state?
Or is she feeling ashamed with her blushing face?
I slowly opened my eyes to erase the recurring questions. Not even noticeable, just a little bit.
Even so, I had no choice but to close my eyes. Shael was also in the middle of trying to open her narrow eyes.
As soon as I met her eyes, I felt ashamed and closed her eyes.
After stopping everything like that, it felt like time had stopped.
Nevertheless, the thumping heart informed me of the passage of time.
We enjoyed kissing in a calm atmosphere.
It was only after some time had passed that Shael and I were firmly in touch.
“⋯.”
I was silent. When he felt her shame, he could sympathize with Shael, who used to lose her ability to speak.
She barely opened her mouth.
“⋯⋯Let’s go out.”
I wanted to ask how Shael felt right after kissing her.
Because I was so distracted, I just spat out a word.
Shael couldn’t even answer my words. The only answer was to stand up from her seat.
There was still a little time left before the Blessing Conference schedule, which was not yet over.
First of all, I wanted to go around with Shael and bring back the awkward atmosphere even a little bit.
I also wanted to get some fresh air for Shael’s face, where I could still feel the heat.
I left the dorm. As the wind blew a little more, she moved her steps and asked Shael.
“Where would you like to go?”
“It was delicious.”
Obviously I asked where I wanted to go⋯⋯.
Shael is answering alumni. She must have felt ashamed now that she was aware of that, but she didn’t change because her face was already red.
That sudden answer must have been because I was distracted.
Perhaps.
When Sael’s face felt somewhat better, the scent of flowers came from the wind that was guiding us. Rather than Shael’s lips, her fragrance was lacking.
‘⋯⋯Why am I like this?’
Her thinking wasn’t working as she looked around her, shaking her head.
A very gigantic cathedral of the Holy Kingdom. Thanks to that, it was a cathedral where you could see all sorts of things.
The place we came to was a garden full of flowers. As befits a holy country, the types of flowers are only those that are hard to see.
Perhaps he wanted to break the awkward atmosphere, Shael pointed at a flower and said.
“⋯ I like this flower.”
It was the first type of flower I had ever seen. A flower that emits a small amount of white light.
Just in time, there was a sign under the flower for explanation. Shael read the sign.
“Moon Wind Flower. According to legend, look at those around you who crave love the most…”
The flower was looking at Shael.
Soon, Shael, who was looking at me alternately with the Moon Wind Flower, returned her flowerpot.
Thanks to that, the Moon Wind Flower was looking at me.
I laughed out loud at the cute Shael’s actions. As she let out an unbearable laugh, she said to Shael.
“What would be the point of turning it artificially?”
“⋯⋯ Is meaningful enough.”
Shael speaks confidently. Then she takes me by the arm and leads her as if to look at the other flowers.
Of course, I wanted to take a look at the flowers for Shael.
However, the schedule for the Blessing Meeting was right around the corner. Because we had walked so much, the time that was sufficient was running out before we knew it.
She had no choice but to speak to Shael.
“The schedule for the Blessing Meeting is right around the corner.”
“⋯⋯ So?”
Shael asked me what was the problem. It was clear that he wanted to skip the boring schedule of the blessing meeting.
Actually, the Blessing Meeting was not important. The schedule from now on was not a schedule that I had to participate in unconditionally.
From the very beginning, coming to the Blessing Meeting was to finish things related to Clie.
But the schedule of the Blessing Meeting will help Shael, who has no patience. For that, I wanted to convince Shael.
“Still, I came as a guest, so wouldn’t it be better to keep the Blessing Meeting schedule? That would be polite.”
“⋯⋯ Polite?”
Shael smiles slightly. It was the look on his face when he attacked me.
“⋯⋯Anyone who doesn’t even abide by church rules is polite?”
“Did you say rules?”
There were rules. But I wouldn’t have broken the rules.
I couldn’t help but freeze at Shael’s words.
“Isn’t it a rule in the church to forbid the expression of affection between a man and a woman?”
“⋯.”
I couldn’t say anything. Just a while ago, I shared a sticky kiss with Shael.
That’s not all. In fact, there were two lodgings from where we were assigned.
The two lodgings were assigned so that Shael and I could each enter.
But I didn’t tell Shael about it. As if I was assigned a lodging, I only spent a little time with Shael while acting.
“The son of a duke broke the rules of the church…”
“⋯.”
“This is important.”
It wasn’t like that. It was a good rule not to follow. It would be a problem if my conscience was stabbed.
Shael approached me laughing like a snake. She said as Shael put her finger on my lips.
“Three times, please…”
“⋯.”
“I can pretend I didn’t see it.”
After proudly showing such words, he blushes. A cute menace with Shael’s own courage.
It was also a threat that I had no choice but to follow.
