He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 9

However, various questions couldn’t be answered immediately, so I remembered leaving the banquet hall after the King’s messy toast.

Then I lied on my bed and fell asleep peacefully, and was greeted today by someone.

Da**n it. What kind of surprise is this?

The notification of the headquarters employee who just opened the door of the accommodation was a shocking remark.

Even after tearing the paper apart, I couldn’t seem to get my sense together.

… This can’t be.

Knock, knock

“Rose, you’re inside, right?”

“…?“

As I walked around the room, the footsteps from outside stopped.

I pulled my clenched nails out of my mouth.

This voice was from Ishid. Less than an hour after the weather bell rang, he called me with a lively voice.

The reason was obvious.

“I have something to say. Can I come inside?”

“… Yes, come on in.”

“Thank you.”

It hasn’t been that long since I gave my permission to him.

Ishid opened the door and came in smiling like a clown.

“Rose!”

“Oh, you’re here.”

His bangs were wet, perhaps because he ran out right after washing his face.

A uniform that is not angled with gold strings that was not brushed properly.

Overall, it was noticeable that he wore crumpled clothes. Why were you in such a hurry? As I lowered my gaze, I noticed buttons that were inserted unevenly.

I shook my head in shock.

What is this, really?

“Ishid, why do you look like that? What is going on?”

On the contrary, he glanced with a firm expression, but I couldn’t even understand him.

Ishid, who had a perfectly bright complexion, answered after a while with a broad smile.

“Look at me. Are you going to treat the guests who came to congratulate you with the good news?”

“Just what is that good news…?”

“Complain later, but first, we should hug.”

Ishid, who stretched out his arms and wrapped his shoulders, hugged me and locked me in his arms.

The long distance narrowed sharply as our bodies were pressed together.

It also had a citrus scent that I didn’t want to smell.

Ugh. It smells too strong.

I wrinkled the back of my nose with a complaint in my mind and was the one that was hugged happily.

“… Ishid.”

“Huh?”

“If you don’t want to be killed, let go of me.”

“… Huh?”

I didn’t show it, but it hurt terribly. If it wasn’t for the hug, I’d already gave you a hit!

What a waste that I just couldn’t.

The tightly locked arms slowly loosened.

As I wiggled my finger, a small sigh penetrated my ear.

He seemed to have come to his senses late.

The hug slowly loosened, and he gently reached out to my shoulder. It was awkward for some reason.

Ah really. Who hugged who first?

“… Am I the only one who’s excited?”

“Probably.”

“Sorry, Rose. I am just so happy…”

“It’s okay. I’m the one who allowed you to come in.“

Of course, I don’t think it would be for someone who was happy and dreamt of retiring, but it was okay.

It was allowed because it was Ishid Fernando.

I stepped back lightly and shook off my clothes.

How much he hugged me caused his scent to spread all over my body.

“You… I’m really curious. How much lemon scent did you put on?”“

“Oh, my mistake. I rushed out and spilled it.”

“What?”

Ishid spit out a series of dry coughs. What do you mean you made a mistake spilling perfume bottles?

If the girls from the next department, who have a crush on Ishid, who was apparently described as a perfectionist, heard about it, it would remain dark.

When I looked at him disapprovingly, a reaction to avoid his gaze returned.

At first glance, the redness of the ears must have been because of a moment of joy.

Yeah. What’s the problem with that?

‘A problem is still a problem, isn’t it?’

I stepped back and sat in bed with a gloomy face.

Then he immediately raised his right finger and said,

“So…”

Ishid’s gaze slowly shifted.

I pointed to the center floor with torn paper.

It was the paper that had the written announcement on it.

I smiled indifferently as I looked down at them.

After all, what else is in that paper aside from ’27 days?’

What I was saying continued.

“You must have come to me, Ishid Fernando”?

“…That’s…”

“Of course, I understand how you feel. You were so happy with this news that you did this as soon as you saw me. Thanks to you, the scent on my clothes was strong, right?

You must have eaten something while running towards your friend, otherwise, where would this affection come from?

He turned his eyes to the floor, smiling his lips.

If it was a normal occasion, I’d be cool about it and would be joking around with Ishid.

My body was as weak as it would be if I was exhausted right away.

To be honest, the more extreme the despair was, the more unrealistic it was.

I couldn’t believe it even at this moment.

“I can’t believe it’s a grace period. It doesn’t make sense.“

“… Even though, I still want to say congratulations, Rose.”

“What are you celebrating? My tragedy?”

As he looked sharply at him, Ishid opened his eyes wide.

Then I put a blanket on me then wrapped it around myself.

He stuck out his tongue as if had been struck by some kind of power.

“How should I say this, you’re not even an attacker, but sometimes you get the illusion that you get a hold of your life. Or it must be an energy that only the highest level of healing can flow.”

“….”

“You can’t be like that.”

My hand stopped. I put down the blanket I was holding in embarrassment.

Surprisingly, I will never be caught by Ishid, who is not delicate.

But something is bothering me. I swallowed my dry saliva.

The memories of the past that crossed my mind without realizing it were not a very happy recollection.

Lips that overlapped, the hot heat that blocked my breath. Even a group of bright white lights as if they were blind names.

… Something you would never want to experience or get involved with again.

“Is that all you have to say?”

“Huh? No.”

“What else is there?”

Surprised, I bowed head again.

Looking at it with rabbit eyes, Ishid still smiled.

It somehow became ominous.

“I heard that the contents of the work are the same even during the grace period. Right?”

“Yeah, yeah. The work they see is the same.”

“That’s nice. Then we can go out and say hello.”

“…?”

Greetings? What kind of greeting? Without hesitation, Ishid reached out to me.

Tightening his disorganized tie neatly, he shrugged.

“Wake up, Rose.”

“…”

“A new person came to the vacant team leader position.”

Ominous signs came for no reason.

“You’ll probably be surprised when you see your face”.

***

I couldn’t remember how I changed from pajamas with a thin shawl.

How much time had passed before I walked like that, and passed the hallway without stopping.

When I came to my senses, I followed Ishid who was in front of the security department. My heart then pounded.

“Rose, aren’t you coming in?”

“….”

The doorknob engraved with the majestic lion creaked and opened violently.

Ishid, who was walking while checking the time, was already looking back at me in front of the door.

I swallowed my saliva and looked at the threshold.

The familiar entrance with a clean silver color makes it difficult to pass these days.

Ishid’s words I heard earlier may have played a part.

‘What do you mean by the team leader position that had been vacant for three years?’

I couldn’t think of anything to say in the sudden change.

As it was located close to the royal palace, the Velos Estate paid special attention to security, and for that reason, it was made up of talented people.

Moreover, the head of the branch knew that the position of the leader of the security team was vacated for convenience, saying that the vertical relationship between them would have a negative effect to show off their skills to their heart’s content.

But the situation suddenly changed. I didn’t even mention this.!!

In addition, what happened yesterday, and I couldn’t feel refreshed.

Everyone lost their memory. Only I remembered that day.

It has been a long time since the ominous energy permeated from the tip of the toe wrapped around the body.

I couldn’t sincerely be happy with the appointment of this greeting.

Something’s weird. It was really weird.

I ordered Carlos out of fear of a future that would be in trouble, but who knew I would experience reverse embarrassment on my side?

“Hooh…”

“Rose?”

I sighed and touched my forehead.

An honest instinct was telling me. I don’t want to go in there.

However, the scheduled meeting could not be left out at the will of a team member.

“…No. Go back in.”

In the end, I meant that my choice was decided.

I took off my hesitating step, sweeping down my bangs that had fallen over by the wind of my mouth again.

It was the time when I stepped toward the office along Ishid.

Something solid touched behind my back. There was also the cold air that wrapped around the back of my neck.

“Don’t you want to go in?”
