He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 18~

“Someone said this, everything is a matter of timing

“…

“It is said that once something has already happened, it cannot be undone. Yet, the truth is, there is a hidden opportunity to make up for it. Of course, once the timing of the opportunity is missed, it will be irreversible.

Something which is irreversible.

She compared it to the old story she heard from Carlos at the birthday party

For ten years, that ‘wife’, who has been doing something for him, is probably Cherileyn Lazaro; the current Queen and apparently Sollio’s mother

In the setting of the novel, it was said that Queen Seymour, the first queen, passed away early after giving birth

If there is any object of resentment, the arrow will be unconditionally returned to the current queen, Cherileyn.

But Carlos may hate her, but he doesn’t hate her son. No, it was obvious that he only cared for his younger brother

Otherwise, can he have such warm eyes, let alone contempt

A chance to change the relationship between the two. It will probably be solve by ‘communication’

The choice was solely up to Carlos. She’s just making suggestions, not persuasion

“If I were and had that opportunity, I don’t think it would be bad to try once. Opportunities don’t always wait for me in the same place.

“… Is that so?”

Carlos’s head shook slowly

“Yes, that’s how it works.

She looked at his face and looked away afterwards. Even though she said it quite seriously, he almost laughed out loud

“You’re making a really cute expression.”

We can look forward to their brotherly friendship in the near future

“I came to check in after work… What? Why is nobody there

“Oh, it’s over already?”“

Ishid, who hurriedly got up from his chair while pushing his face into the office, walked to the entrance and said

“Did you have a good meeting?”

Ishid was the only one who occupied the empty office

He looked sorry and rubbed the back of his head awkwardly

“… It’s nothing. Are you alright?

He was asking how she was doing in a disgusting way

She couldn’t even have the strength to frown, thus just sighed calmly

If he were so worried, why didn’t he go

“By the way, where are all the team members?

Oh, the manager and Miss Magnolia are out of the office to deal with the case involved. They’ll be returning late.

“Yeah. You all must be busy.

No. Our team was always busy

“Anyway, it means I can go home comfortably. Right?

“Tha… that’s right.”

“Okay. Then I’ll simply sign the check-out and go.

She mechanically walked into the office with her head down

Check in and check out. In short, it was a handwritten list of autographs certifying the attendance and leave of work of the team members, so she had to sign this and today’s schedule would be over

My mouth hurt from arguing with the scary Male Lead

When you go to the dorm, you have to lay down on the bed right away, no more, no less

After she took the lead first, while clenching her fist so tightly, Ishid naturally followed her back.

He opened his mouth carefully as if he was reading her countenance

“You finished earlier than I thought.

“Yes. Teleport is good.”

She handed over the documents which she had been holding all along, to Ishid and shook her hands

Certainly, as he said, it took not long to complete the round trip

It only took them about two hours until the meeting ended

Since then, she has completed her work, so it was a honey-like free time

“The report was well written, and the overall structure is good. Great job.

“If you like it, I’m glad.”

“Yeah. I like it. What about our Team leader?

Ishid, who roughly put the report she gave on a nearby table, vaguely asked

“Now that I think about it, you’re the only one who came to get off work. Where’s the team leader? Why did you come back alone, Rose?

“Ah. I didn’t come with the team leader.

She shrugged lightly

This was the result after numerous talks with Carlos

She came early to get off work on time, and he left it for granted

In a way, it was a gamble on the relationship between the main character and his brother

It’s actually just a gamble. There was nothing much

Carlos, the male protagonist with a heartache that wasn’t even shown in the original, had a long works to finish. She’s just here to help you out

The final choice was left to him

“Someone said, everything is a matter of timing.

In their last conversation, Carlos just kept silent

In a good way, there was no denial, and in a bad way, there was no positivity

However, throughout the meeting, he seemed to be unable to concentrate more than anyone else and was worried alone

Violet eyes which were staring at the floor as if he was distracted, were telling her how he feels

Still, the choice doesn’t seem so narrow

It seemed to show a little bit of possibility from him

“Hmm. I see. What did the team leader say when you said you two were going separately?

Ishid asked me softly.

“That’s… I didn’t really listen to it.

“What? Did you just come here without listening to him?

She just smiled quietly instead of answering

The reason she didn’t tell him, was because it’s too much to tell him to do well even though he already gave her the assignment

Carlos’ complexion was very dark

The timing was ambiguous to talk about personal things separately because of the silence between each other in many ways

But there was something she was relieved about

For Sollio, who had been looking only at himself throughout the meeting, Carlos’s steps finally reached

As soon as she caught the scene, she teleported with relief

She hopes it’s okay for her to leave her seat.

Because she was unsure, she voiced out blankly, scratching her cheeks

Honestly, she had no worries in her mind

“Well, he’ll come back on his own. You don’t have to worry.

Even if things don’t go well between the two of them, Carlos’s choice is probably that one

Looking at Sollio, he looked like an innocent lamb who was just scared

In other words, she hoped the relationship between the two of them will be better than before

As he quietly shook her head alone, Ishid, who had a cold expression on his face, opened his mouth

“You didn’t look like that…  . You don’t feel like you’re leaving just because you’re leaving after 27 days.

“Huh?

“Be careful, Rose, but he’s still our new team leader.

Compassion passed by Ishid’s face momentarily

He was sincerely worrying about Carlos and her, who had already been entangled with a bad foreboding

What a double-faced friend

“Geez, really. Who sold his friend to the new team leader?

“Oh, that’s…

“Are you kidding, Ishid? What did you say earlier? Hibiscus?

Does he really want to get hit with hibiscus

She squinted her eyes with a grim look

‘Ishid you punk. Now, wow. What are you saying?

Something was going wrong with Ishid, who had never been so smooth due to the things related to Carlos

Yesterday, she was brainwashed and didn’t come to the appointment place, and today she was overwhelmed by the violet eyes momentum and handed over the championship like a shot.

“You’re not that good these days.”

She sighed and took off the security team uniform

It may not be comparable to her life, which was twisted in a blink of an eye, but no matter how gentle and nice Ishid was, she was tired to deal with it today.

Too many things happened at once

If she couldn’t sleep yesterday because she was excited about her retirement, she thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep easily today because she was confused

Should she buy a lot of sweets somewhere

While putting the undressed clothes on her arm with vague thoughts, Ishid hurriedly grabbed her wrist and said

He hesitated strongly to say sorry

“Wa, wait, Rose.

“Why?

“I guess there are many desserts that have been sponsored besides hibiscus.

As soon as she heard that, her face was slightly relieved

It was also at the same time that my eyes, which had only been thin due to fatigue, opened wide

…Dessert?

“For example, what?”

“It’s usually sweet, it looks pretty, and it makes you feel better when you eat it.”

“…. Give me a name.

“I heard that there is also your favorite marshmallow parfait.

The steps that were about to return to the accommodation stopped towering

She threw her uniform away at the table and calmly headed to the front door

“Hey, I prefer earl grey to hibiscus.

He should not talk about hibiscus because it makes her vomit if she listens to it a lot

As she turned around with a shrug, a flinching reaction returned

As I started the conversation casually, Ishid’s mouth was gradually spreading to laughter.

“Puhaha. Alright.

“I’m going to eat a lot of marshmallow parfait, too. More than five.

“What do you mean, five? You can eat more than that, so be relieved. There’s a lot to give you.

“Really? Then, I’m glad.”

Ishid, who promised to accompany her naturally, has slowly narrowed the distance and put his arms around her shoulders

To be sure, it couldn’t have happened to her to shake off his hand for angry feelings

No matter how cheeky he was today, we can’t make each other’s friendship go to gold

That was the only reason

She wasn’t meant to be indulged by the marshmallow parfait and be generous with him

… It was true.
