118 – lies (1)

Evening after all work.

The girls, as usual, gather in one hundred and one rooms to get ready for bed.

“Oh, it’s saksin… … .”

“Puff!!”

Lee Na-young, who was already lying on the bed, smiled lightly as Idney patted her thighs and lay down on the floor.

“What. Is it funny that your friend is sick?”

“M-I’m sorry.”

Lee Na-young quickly stuck her head out and made an excuse.

“Nothing else… … Idney, it’s a bit out of place for you to use those words… .”

“That’s right. He looks like a pure-blooded foreigner, but he speaks like a native Korean.”

Maria, who was sitting next to her and applying nutritional supplements, agreed with Lee Na-young.

“Hey. That’s discrimination. Discrimination. what about foreign… … I’ve never been out.”

Edney pursed his lips and grumbled a little.

Their obvious appearance was one that could be misunderstood as someone from a foreign royal family or aristocracy, but Idni and Maria were children raised by Lee Ye-sol and other priests from a very young age.

“Ugh~!! Taha… .”

Idney, who had been thinking about it for a while, stretched out coolly and put a pod on her head and said.

“Still, I’m glad Peepy is healthy.”

“right… … .”

Lee Na-young nodded quickly.

Maria, who was tidying up the surroundings after applying all the nutritional supplements, sneaked in.

“But didn’t it seem strange that he was following the professor around?”

“Well? I don’t know.”

“What about you, Seohee?”

“… … .”

unanswered answer.

Lee Na-young turned her head and looked at Nam Seo-hee, who was lying next to her.

“… Hee Seo.”

“Wow, what a great bitch. How can you faint if you lie down on a pillow?”

Edney shook his head with a tired face.

Maria asked Hana Baek, who was writing in her diary sitting at her desk with a small smile.

“It is one. How did you look?”

Even before the festival, fairies tried not to be separated from them. Occasionally, they only looked for their superiors during mealtimes, but other than that, everyone stuck with them.

And after returning to the mansion after completing the training today, he worked harder with the fairy with a heart of atonement for the sins he had committed. However, throughout the game of hide-and-seek, the fairy appeared to enter the study. Not even hiding somewhere, sitting quietly in the corner of the desk and staring at the face of the person sitting there.

“Is it one?”

“uh? sorry, what did you say?”

Baek Ha-na, who was sitting at the desk and turning her pen around, turned her head with a slightly dazed face.

Seeing Baekhana’s appearance, Maria smiled and stood up.

“Is it okay if I turn off the lights?”

“Ah, yes. It’s fine.”

Very naturally, as if that was the case from the beginning, Maria turned off the light. And a soft light illuminates above the desk.

“Ahhh~ Jeep, what are you doing? not lie down.”

“I will lie down.”

Idney asked, knocking on the seat next to her, and Maria shook her head and lay down. Then, he raised his head and looked at the back of Baek Ha-na, who was sitting in front of the desk.

In fact, the reason Maria brought up the story of the fairy that she didn’t have to mention was to get Baek Ha-na’s attention.

It was when all the women in the mansion, including the fairies, entered the bathroom after the training was over.

-uh? Sister, who did you fight with?

-Nope.

-But there are bruises on the neck and back… ?

Baek Ha-na’s remark drew everyone’s attention to Claire.

and saw all

The red and blue bruises that remained around the pure white skin as if to mark the territory.

– Wow, is it real?

-This… … Keuheum!!

To Idni’s surprise, Claire coughed lightly and spoke.

-… There was work outside.

-Aha.

Stupid Idni said, ‘I see.’ He nodded, and naive Lee Na-young also blinked her clear eyes.

– My sister was hurt… ?

-… … Yes.

And Baek Ha-na, as naive as Lee Na-young, stared at Claire with eyes that said something was wrong.

– Beep!!

When the atmosphere became strange, the fairy sitting on Baek Ha-na’s shoulder evoked the atmosphere.

-Let’s go in now~ The professor is waiting for you.

Maria distracted her gaze.

That’s because she knew what traces were left on the nape of her superior’s neck and back.

If there’s anything that’s bothering me, it’s that Nam Seo-hee, who was the only one who kept quiet, also seemed to notice.

‘Ugh… … Why didn’t the Executor delete it… .’

I certainly wouldn’t have known.

No, even if you don’t know yourself, if it’s him… … .

Hwaaak-!!

Maria, imagining something insidious for a moment, blushed and pulled the blanket over herself.

‘… do not know. I did my best.’

Maria closed her eyes, deciding not to care about it any longer.

But.

‘Two, you two should be together right now… … ?’

Although the bedroom and study are separated, the distance is only one door at most.

‘No, Maria. What rude thoughts are you thinking? I also have a beep… Although… … .’

Aren’t you a child who doesn’t wake up once you fall asleep?

That night, Maria had a hard time sleeping.

**

A few days have passed since Baek Woo-jin returned to the mansion.

‘… Strange.’

Baek Hana, who was soaking in the bathtub after completing the training she had become accustomed to, looked up at the steamy ceiling of the bathroom and organized her memories.

-Woojin~

– Keuheum!!

When I poked my head out the door of the study to say good-bye, my sister, who had been suspiciously close to him, vomited a cough.

– Joe, good morning. Ms. Hana.

-… Good morning sister too.

-That, then… I’m going to prepare breakfast… … .

Then, like a person hiding something, he hurriedly left.

And that wasn’t all.

There were more than once or twice when her sister’s face was bright red when she came out of the study after dinner, and when she got a little closer, she strangely startled and distanced herself.

Originally, I knew that my older sister was difficult and cautious with that person, but the appearance she showed in the past few days was different from before.

‘Woojin seemed to have changed a little… … .’

Sometimes, very occasionally, there were times when I smiled at myself. But lately, he showed a lot of smiles that were hard to see.

– Stop going to bed.

-Just a little more~

I spent time sitting on his lap for the first time in a long time, using the pampering I had accumulated over the years.

-When are you planning to grow up?

-What did you say. You’ve grown up great already.

-under.

He mustered up the courage to stick out his chest, but the man smiled lightly and gently stroked his hair.

In addition, skinship, which would normally have been quickly scolded and kicked out, was readily accepted as before.

‘Ugh… That’s nice.’

Bubbling bubbling—!!

Just this morning, when I sat down next to her to say hello and leaned on her arm, I could still vividly feel the touch of the person gently stroking my cheek and tidying up my hair.

“Hey. one hundred!!”

“… … ?”

Hana Baek, who was completely submerged in the bathtub, turned her head.

“How long are you going to stay in? let’s get out quickly I’m hungry.”

-I want to get rid of it!!

Idni and the fairy sitting on her shoulder shouted at Baekhana.

“What about the other kids?”

“Are you going out to dry your hair?”

“… … already?”

“What already?”

Edney walked into the bathtub and slightly pinched Baek Ha-na’s reddened cheek.

“Has it already been half an hour? What the hell were you thinking?”

“hehehehe… … .”

“What did you say. Anyway, come quickly.”

After Idni left the bathroom with the fairy, Baek Ha-na, who was left alone, came out of the bathroom rubbing her slightly tingling cheek. After getting her hair done by Nam Seo-hee, who was waiting for her as usual, she dressed up and headed to the kitchen.

Dalgrak.

Now, each of them sits in their seats, which have become completely fixed seats, and raises a spoon.

Baek Ha-na glanced across the street as she ate the stew with lots of bacon and potatoes. Even before the festival, Claire, who always sat at the end of the table, started to sit in the same row as Baek Woo-jin at some point.

‘Also… … .’

As Hana Baek tried to think about the relationship between the two, Idni, who was hastily filling her stomach, carefully opened her mouth.

“I, Professor… … ?”

“What is it?”

Baek Woo-jin, who was drinking coffee instead of stew and looking at his smartphone, raised his head.

At that, Edney shyly wiggled his fingers and said.

“Yeah, summer vacation is over, right?”

Even at the beginning of the vacation, Idney, who was stiff, was treating Baek Woo-jin like before.

“So, can’t we play in the water one more time before it’s over… ?”

“I would have told you that you could be free after training.”

“Oh dear… … .”

As if that wasn’t the case, Idney brought the tip of the spoon she was holding to her lips.

“Professors also play together. Yeah? You haven’t played together this year.”

Maria, who would normally have slapped her on the back, glanced over.

-play!!

The fairy, who was quietly nibbling on the chocolate Baek Woo-jin had hand-wrapped, looked back at Baek Woo-jin with twinkling eyes.

“I’m a professor~”

Knock knock.

Idney, who had been using her appearance to snort for the first time in a while, reached out under the table and touched her shin with her foot. It was a signal to help out.

After thinking for a while, Hana Baek opened her mouth.

“right. let’s play together. You didn’t even watch the fireworks together.”

“… under.”

As soon as the word fireworks came out, Baek Woo-jin sighed briefly and nodded.

“Only one day tomorrow.”

Not only Idney, but also Maria and Nam Seo-hee secretly expressed their joy by clenching their fists.

“I, Professor… .”

Baek Woo-jin, who was about to look at his smartphone again, turned his head toward Claire.

“… When taking a break, it is said that taking a break is more efficient.”

“… … .”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Claire’s face without saying a word for a moment.

“You can take a break from training tomorrow.”

Even Lee Na-young, who had been absent-mindedly, expressed her joy with a wide smile.

only one person

“… … .”

Only Baek Ha-na acted out joy with calmly sunken eyes.
