13. Dating – 05

‘… What?’

In the middle of Jin and Erekaya’s date at an amusement park, the future Erekaya, who exists in Jin’s world of imagination, unknowingly had a question.

Yes. It was strange. If someone else asked her what was wrong, she wouldn’t be able to answer that question, but she could definitely recognize that the situation itself was so strange.

Actually, the reason Erekaya couldn’t give a clear answer was really simple.

For in her eyes, literally everything that came into her sight seemed to be puzzled and utterly incomprehensible.

The current Jin and the past self were enjoying a date like a pair of lovers.

Like any ordinary couple overflowing around, they hold each other’s hands tightly, and shake hands in embarrassment at the warmth felt from the other person, or show consideration for each other so as not to get hit by the crowd around them. A very ordinary couple.

However, Erekaya, who could be said to have worked hard in the dark to create such a situation for the past three months, couldn’t hide her embarrassment when she saw the two of them.

‘Why the hell?’

First of all, it is quite understandable to Erekaya that Jin is playing the role of a ‘boyfriend’ as if drawn in a picture.

Because it is so hard to believe that he had a relationship with Altina von Rudel Serias in the past, a human named Jin, who did not know about the woman’s heart, was educated by injection or forced all kinds of knowledge into his head as if a teacher taught a student. It was because the person who stabbed it was none other than Erekaya herself.

Even if the target is a monkey, she has completely covered her knowledge to the extent that she can manage to imitate a human, so even if it is Jin who does not know a woman’s heart, she is impersonating a decent gentleman on a date today within her expected range. It could be said that it exists within

But on the other hand, in line with Jin pretending to be a pretty good boyfriend, what on earth is he himself at the present time, playing the role of a ‘girlfriend’ that looks like a picture?

‘I would never have been like that in the past?’

Up until now, Erekaya had asked Jin to become a perfect human being who thoroughly matched her past self in order to seduce her past self.

Because at this point in time, she had never experienced ‘love’ before, and she was a troublesome woman who only learned about love between people through books.

Since she was a pure virgin who had never loved anyone else before, in a sense, it was very annoying to capture such a woman.

Erekaya is well aware of the fact that those who learn love through books tend to dream of a perfect love that comes out of a fairy tale, and if real love and their imagination do not exactly match, they tend to deny their love. I knew.

‘Because I’ve already passed it once.’

It’s really regrettable, but Erekaya also had to accept the miserable reality that the first love she had pictured in her mind and the first love she experienced as the main character were surprisingly out of sync.

But it was unavoidable. It was like force majeure, so to speak.

Because during the last hundred days, being with him, I came to understand him more deeply than anyone else in the world, and as a result, I had to admit that my heart was only looking at him.

However, the current Erekaya situation is somewhat different.

As far as she knows, the current Erekaya is not a woman who is interested in love and a man’s affection like a girl of her age, but a woman who has no interest in her surroundings to the extent of being an inorganic material and is just armed with coldness. It was a woman.

Of course, because of her innate appearance, she was so beautiful that just standing still was comparable to a work of art, but at the same time, that’s all.

Since she had put her body and mind somewhere other than where she was standing, in the end, the only thing left here would have been a pretty wrapping paper with the name of the little princess of the Pendragon family.

Being interested in love and being interested in it is only because it was a story from another world that the past self had never had or felt so far, and he knew very well that it was neither more nor less than that.

Isn’t that why Erekaya prioritized thoroughly matching a man named Jin to her current tastes more than anything else when it came to seducing herself at this point?

But look Right now, right next to Jin, with a wide smile, who was that woman walking beside him?

Erechaya Del Pendragon, who was extremely cold and cold to the point of being terribly cold, and looked like a statue or an inorganic object rather than a person who existed in reality, had disappeared somewhere.

And instead, the only person in this place was none other than a woman who seemed so happy in this time with him, so human and so lovely at the same time.

It was a scene similar to a statue made of stone or iron gaining life and moving. It was a scene similar to a new shoot sprouting from a withered old tree, buds coming up, and flowers blooming.

Erekaya doesn’t know. The figure of a woman who embraces her whole body with gentleness from head to toe, and everything that composes herself is filled with affection.

That’s why Erekaya couldn’t understand at all. Seeing through her eyes, her past self was no different than that of a girl in love.

But why? In other words, they were merely attempting to seduce her, rather than betting on Erekaya at the present time.

There is no cause, no motive, nothing. Even so, a man named Jin did not have a plausible appearance or background that would make a woman fall in love at first sight, and Erekaya at the present time was not a woman with low eyesight enough to fall in love with any man at first sight.

What on earth is he thinking at this point in time? And now, what the hell is going on?

When the future Erekaya is in a state of panic, the current Erekaya grabs Jin’s arm and points to one side.

“Shall we go over there sometime? If you enter as a couple, the couple rate is applied, so you get a discount than usual.”

“Big, couple?”

When Jin looks at Erekaya with a sad expression without knowing it, she looks at Jin like that and smiles bashfully.

“Well, how are you? Anyway, I’ve already been misunderstood several times here today as if we weren’t a couple. Besides, whether we’re really a couple or not, if we can save money, that’s not such a bad thing, right?”

“… Are you being misunderstood as a couple?”

Hearing Erekaya’s words, Jin looked around himself with a slightly bewildered look.

“Those two students… Could we even be dating?”

“It seems like we are dating. Look, that girl is clinging so tightly to the boy. That would be impossible without love.”

“Love is a really great thing. I can make a girl who looks like that stand next to a guy who looks like that and cling to him.”

“…..”

In fact, it was a fact that I felt from the moment I entered the amusement park, but Erekaya’s appearance was so graceful and beautiful that it caught the attention of all the people gathered here at a glance.

Jin had always met and talked to her in Nineveh, so he had gotten used to it, but in fact, he was the kind of person with that kind of appearance that you would hardly see unless you went to a party hosted by any other aristocrat.

From the public’s point of view, even though her identity was not revealed, Erekaya must have been the daughter of a certain aristocratic family, judging from her looks and elegance.

But the person who stands beside such a noble woman and escorts her is at most an ordinary young man, and that in itself is indeed enough to be the gossip of passers-by.

Even Jin, who normally doesn’t care about other people’s gazes, was to the point that such whispers made his ears sting, so there was no way that Erekaya, who grew up as an aristocrat and was sensitive to other people’s gazes, could not have noticed it.

If Erekaya made up her mind to do so, and if she only revealed her identity, everyone gathered here would not dare to look at her properly.

No, from Jin’s point of view, the current Erekaya seemed to be enjoying the attention of the public even more.

As if he was embarrassed by their light mouths talking about Jin and himself as a ‘lover’, he was strangely not taking any action, looking at Jin and smiling as if he were drawing a picture.

‘Of course it’s not possible.’

Excluding the imperial family, the woman who was born as the most noble woman in the empire and grew up with only precious things was Erekaya del Pendragon.

There was no way that such a woman would be really happy to hear that she was in a relationship with a vagabond-like man of unknown identity and background who had only known her for about a hundred days.

I don’t know, but it’s clear that Jin, who is listening to such a set of words next to me, is exercising patience so that he doesn’t feel ashamed, or he feels that it’s not even worth replying to such words.

“why? do you not like it Those words that speculate that you and I are actually in that relationship?”

When Erekaya giggled and said that, Jin unknowingly parented her like an idiot.

“No, it’s not that I don’t like it, I’m just afraid you’ll be offended… ”

“I wasn’t offended.”

Erekaya shook her head and looked up at him with an expression that seemed completely incomprehensible.

“Not offended at all. The fact that you and you are being treated as lovers like this. Because you are the knight who came here to escort me today, how could I be offended by you?”

The wind that blew from somewhere just at the right time, entwined Erekaya’s long purple hair upwards.

And in line with that, the necklace that Jin gave her one day also sways gently on the nape of her neck.

“So today, how about living up to those people’s expectations and treating each other as lovers? You and I will make a lover someday, so you can think of it as a preliminary practice in preparation for that time… ”

What? In the first place, Jin came here to seduce Erekaya, so Erekaya’s proposal wasn’t bad for him, but anyway, isn’t this going too well?

Erekaya’s behavior right now seems to be as if she’s not trying to seduce her from this side, but from the other side to seduce us…

“So from now on, will you call me ‘Kaya’ instead of Erekaya? People close to me call me by nicknames like that.”

He spoke in a very soft tone, but at the same time Erekaya’s hand gripped Jin’s forearm like a snake.

It was full of intangible pressure that he couldn’t refuse at all, so Jin nodded his head involuntarily.

“Then call me. hurry.”

“… Kaya.”

“Once more.”

“Kaya.”

“A little softer. And tell me with love. Because I’m your lover now appropriately.”

“Kaya.”

“Yes, Jin.”

Saying that, Kaya is indeed pitiful, and leans her body on his shoulder in a very gentle manner.

“Today, I will ask for an escort. So please be gentle with me. jin.”

“… No, my West.”
