He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 31.2

~ Chapter 31 part 2 ~

“Rose!”

After lunch, someone called me when I was sitting on the bench, leaving Carlos for a while due to an urgent call from the security department.

“Ishid?”

The owner of the voice was obvious. I skipped my long breath and turned around.

Then, the ball was stabbed to her direction in where her head turned to.

It was because of Ishid, who was full of natural playfulness.

“Oh, I got you.”

“What are you doing?”

“What do you mean? I’m teasing my friend who is slow to sense. Anyway, how come I hit you every time? It’s fascinating.”

Hey, talk straight.

I didn’t catch it, since it was hanging in the air.

Ignorant Ishid smiled as if he had no idea. He was proud to find himself from a distance and ran. I just felt my lips going down.

He even sweated on his forehead, but he didn’t even wipe it off, and did he miss me so much?

I slammed the seat next to him in a sour way.

“Your legs must hurt. Sit down.”

“My legs don’t hurt, but I can’t ignore the seat I’ve been given.”

“I can’t hear you.”

You can simply say that you’re thankful, but you had to reply with such a tired tone.

It would be a habit for aristocrats to respond appropriately without showing a stark mind, but he was talking to me.

Korean common people in the nobility are like this. I like being plain. This is why Ishid and I were able to get close.

“What brings you here?”

“Because I miss you.”

“I’ll kick you out again. Be honest and say it again.”

“…… ”

After making a blank face for a while, he bowed his head in a fresh state.

He then shook his shoulders and covered his face with one hand.

“Oh, I’m stating the truth. That’s why I went to you.”

“What’s going on?”

“It’s nothing. Just.”

Carlos will be here soon. Don’t take too much of my time.

My squinted eyes scanned Ishid slowly. Looking at it, there was no doubt that, ‘that’ worries that come every year.

“Does Meichel bother you a lot?”

“Huh?”

It’s already (?) in this atmosphere, so I should solve this quickly and send him away.

I quenched my lips and asked him.

“Even after a few years, I still can’t understand your feelings towards her, so you came here to avoid Meichel. No?”

Instead of answering me, he sighed deeply.

I guess he had a stomach ache. Ishid rolled his eyes and remained silent, then opened his mouth small.

The noise of stalls overlapped with his dark voices.

“That’s right. Miss Magnolia ran away because she felt embarrassed.”

“That’s understandable. The way she expresses was very active.”

I always feel this, but Meichel was too silly.

“No. It’s not like that, Rose.”

“Then what?”

“I am sure of this from some point, however there’s another reason why I could give Miss Magnolia a definite answer. I am actually shy to say this, but from my perspective, it’s like that.”

“… Ishid, what are you talking about?”

“I don’t know either.”

What? That’s why I don’t know either.

As always, I tried to listen to his complaint, which was loved unilaterally.

I was a little embarrassed by the new topic.

So there was a story that you didn’t tell me until now?

Everyone has a secret that they can’t say one by one, so let’s say that this case was a betrayal.

I felt anxious.

‘Don’t tell me.’

A weak spring breeze blew. It was a gentle wind with the smell of flowers.

Around the time when that small movement continued, my fluttering hair finally covered my face.

After confirming Ishid’s face through a narrow view, I quietly closed my mouth.

I shouldn’t have ignored my intuition.

“I sometimes… I think that there is a specific person I should like.”

“…”

“That’s why I’m waiting. A person you don’t know. Until she comes, endlessly, and devoted to me.”

He continued with a look of disbelief than I did.

The smile around his mouth was sad.

“But what do I do? I want to wait. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to wait and see if such a thing is possible for me.”

There are certain things that do not change no matter how much you want to change it.

For example, Elchevita’s affection for Rose Lutien’s. It’s the unique affection for the supporting person in the novel.

Ishid’s choice of road will be very rough. There may be a lot of hardships in the middle.

But I couldn’t stop him from making his choices.

Furthermore, I felt his deep sincerity, so I wanted to stop cheering for him.

“Okay. Do whatever you want.”

I followed him with a calm smile.

“But you have me. I don’t think there is anything set in the human’s mind already.”

“….Rose.”

“I mean trust your intuition, but don’t give it responsibility. If it’s hard, tell me anytime, listen to it with you, and think about it.”

Unconsciously, I reached out and patted Ishid’s shoulder. I wanted to do this for some reason.

Is it because I’m still very worried? I hope he will not be sick and happy in the upcoming future.

As she patted his shoulder slowly, Ishid’s eyes were opened widely. Soon after, his face blossomed into a bright smile.

“… Thank you, Rose.”

“No thank you. It’s a matter of course between friends.”

“You’re saying this, but I think it’s different from before. It feels weird.”

“Really?”

It’s different from before.

While muttering, I smiled at the man walking from afar.

A young man with severe feet approached me in a straight step.

As the distance narrowed, his violet eyes toward Ishid became fiercer.

Thanks to this, I was able to notice his changes on my own.

‘There’s really nothing set in a person’s mind.’

If there is, how can this man like me this much?
