With my eyes still half-closed and murmuring, the man in front of me, who spoke menacingly, Revampel, frowned and clicked his tongue as he looked at the bedroom door.
“I clearly told you to be quiet.”
As I raised my eyes with a twisted expression, behind Revampel, the blazing sunlight was visible. I didn’t even realize how high the sun had risen, as it was hidden behind his broad back.
“Were you trying to block the sunlight to let me sleep in?”
“Shouldn’t I do it secretly?”
“How would I know if you did it secretly? I would know if you pretended to do it.”
When I tried to sit up, Revampel hastily supported me, as if I were a patient. Like a patient.
“Why? I’m not a patient.”
“I know. But… it seems better to hold and get up.”
“Huh?”
Not understanding the meaning of Revampel’s words, I tilted my head and was about to move when I stopped abruptly. It was because, as usual, when I tried to get up, the muscles all over my body complained of pain.
“Hehe.”
I casually stroked my neck, leaning on the bedhead as if nothing had happened.
“How long did you sleep? I thought I should wake you up.”
“You seemed tired.”
Revampel lightly chuckled and brushed the strands of hair off my cheek.
His eyes looking at me were as warm as the sunlight streaming in through the window.
From yesterday evening until dawn. As memories of the time we spent together came to mind, my face blushed brightly.
“I think Revampel was looking for you outside the door. Shouldn’t you go check?”
“It’s fine. He’ll handle it. Teri, you look like you’re in pain; I can’t just leave.”
“I can handle it myself.”
I mumbled softly, avoiding Revampel’s intense gaze. I couldn’t bring myself to look him in the eye, especially when the events of yesterday came to mind.
“Teri.”
Revampel smiled at me, then reached out and pulled me into an embrace. As I pressed against his chest, a strong heartbeat resonated.
“I love you, Teri.”
His large palm gently caressed my hair. It felt embarrassing and ticklish, as if being protected by someone.
Unable to embrace Revampel due to embarrassment, I quietly grabbed his arm and closed my eyes. Strangely, a bashful smile spread across my face.
“Your Majesty.”
At that moment, a courtier’s voice calling Revampel from outside the door was heard.
“We’re already late for the meeting, Your Majesty.”
I propped myself up, pushing Revampel aside slightly.
“Now go. They’re calling you like that.”
Pushing him away, Revampel frowned disapprovingly.
“But I still have things to do. I can’t stay here forever, Revampel. But if it’s nighttime, it’s fine…”
“Teri, what about you?”
“Huh?”
Revampel raised an eyebrow as he clenched his fist and tilted his head.
“Come to think of it, I don’t think I got an answer to my words of love yesterday.”
“W-What?”
“I feel like I didn’t hear an answer just now.”
I looked at Revampel with a bewildered expression, my eyes narrow as if I were squinting.
“D-Do I have to say it out loud?! No! We’ve been doing something for the past few hours! Do you really need to hear it out loud now?!”
No! We’ve been doing something for the past few hours! Do you really need to hear it out loud now?!
“If you just think secretly, how would I know? You have to express it in words for me to understand.”
Revampel quoted my words from earlier.
“So, say it out loud. Teri, what about you?”
Revampel urged with a playful smile. I looked at him with a bewildered expression before meeting his gaze.
“Of course! I… love.”
“Love?”
“Love!”
Revampel’s eyes twinkled with anticipation.
I love you. Saying such words shouldn’t be that difficult. Strangely, it wasn’t easy for the words to come out of my mouth.
Thump-thump.
My heart pounded as if it would burst. As if running a few laps around the palace garden at full speed.
I looked at Revampel with my lips wide open like a fool. Seeing him smile happily, my face gradually flushed with warmth.
As my face got warmer, it became more difficult to say the words “I love you.”
“It seems difficult to say it in words.”
Revampel nodded as if he understood well enough. Then, muttering, “Well, can’t be helped,” he closed his eyes, extending his face as if offering a kiss.
“If it’s difficult to say it, then instead of words.”
“Huh?”
He tapped his own lips with his finger.
“Are you asking for a kiss right now? Seriously…”
Instead of answering, Revampel nodded briefly. I widened my mouth in astonishment.
Whether it’s saying “I love you” or being the first to kiss! Both were equally embarrassing.
Moreover, why now, in the bright morning! Such words! How can I do such things now? I’d understand if it were at night!
Thinking about it, it was a challenging task for me. Because since my mother passed away, I had never expressed love to anyone.
It was a moment of hesitation whether I should say, “I love you” or kiss first.
“Your Majesty.”
The voice of a courtier calling through the door reached my ears. I perked up my ears and looked beyond the door with a bright face.
“Your Majesty, please come out now. If you don’t, I will open and enter. You know that, right?”
Revampel seemed to have heard about his absence from the meeting as soon as he returned. I pointed to the door with a bright face, and Revampel clicked his tongue.
“Revampel! Jaelim is here!”
“I know.”
“Hurry and check! What if Jaelim barges in!”
“You don’t have to. It’s fine like this.”
With a somewhat lonely expression, Revampel mumbled and got up from the bed. As if not wanting to be hit by Jaelim, he walked towards the door with a squeaky sound.
Bang!
“Oops.”
Even though it wasn’t visible behind the pillar, the sound of Revampel closing the bedroom door was loud.
‘I’ve never seen him close the bedroom door so forcefully before…!’
It was truly disappointing. Thinking about his slumped shoulders as he left, I closed my eyes and regretted not giving him a kiss.
“I love you.”
In the empty bedroom without Revampel, those words came out easily.
“Ah… Why is it so difficult to say ‘I love you’ and give a kiss.”
Just do something nice to make me feel good!
I mumbled to myself, holding my head and feeling tormented.
At that moment, an unexpected response reached my ears.
“Exactly. What’s so difficult about it.”
It was undoubtedly the voice of Revampel, who had left the bedroom and closed the door. When I raised my head in surprise, there he was, standing in front of me just like when he fist-bumped earlier.
“I-I didn’t leave?”
“As if. Would I go somewhere alone and leave you behind?”
Revampel pointed to the bedroom door behind him with his thumb.
“I just pretended to open and close the door, leaving you alone.”
“W-What?”
“Well, without me, you’re quite good with words.”
He brushed his hair with a satisfied smile. In the pouring sunlight, Revampel’s figure shimmered.
“Well, then, I should give you a reward.”
Approaching, he grabbed my wrist, gently pulled me closer, and soon pressed his lips softly against mine.
