As she said this, her small hand signaled that it would touch his body. Her fingertips, tapping his shoulder, gradually moved toward the button in the center of his shirt. Ileun inadvertently tensed, moving his Adam’s apple.
“You’re such an easy master.”
Easy? I find you too difficult.
“How can you show it so obviously?”
“Show what?”
“Yes.”
Lona’s laughter could be heard.
“You like me, don’t you?”
“…You know that?”
“How could I not? I told you it’s obvious.”
Soon, a gentle warmth from her hand softly swept through his hair. Ileun felt his spine tingle at just the touch of Lona’s hand.
“What do you expect from me?”
“I… I want to keep you close for a long time.”
…Until death.
He swallowed the latter part, worrying it might burden Lona.
At this, Lona chuckled out loud.
“Lies.”
“What?”
“What you want from me isn’t that.”
Thump, thump.
The feeling of her nightgown’s buttons coming undone was distinct.
“You’d like me to become a wife, wouldn’t you?”
The words coming from Lona’s mouth had a different weight.
“You’re hoping for that, aren’t you?”
“No, I…”
Really not? Had he never wished for such a moment?
Ileun felt cold sweat running down his skin.
“Really?”
Lona signaled by wrapping her arm around his neck.
The feeling of her slender body hugging him was vivid.
It was different from the feeling when he caught Lona, who had fallen by accident in the park.
Because this was started by Lona.
Ileun carefully held Lona in return.
The sweet and fresh scent of cherry blossoms wafted up. Like a starving man, Ileun pulled Lona close, buried his face in her hair, and deeply inhaled the scent.
It was the same scent that had regretfully wafted by when she slightly tilted her body towards him to put something in front of him. After fully inhaling her scent, he finally realized that it was indeed Lona in his arms.
“Lona.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t have the slightest intention of taking you for granted.”
“Is that so?”
“Sigh.”
Ileun let out a long sigh. The breath that came up from the depths of his chest was still hot as it passed his lips.
“…Can I kiss you?”
He hadn’t even confessed properly yet.
Would it be okay to steal a kiss first?
Ileun felt a sense of selfloathing for not being able to let go of his soldierly habits even at this moment.
“Just once is enough.”
At this moment, he was sincere.
“Master Ileun.”
Instead of answering, Lona signaled by pressing her lips against his cheek, then the tip of his nose.
Unable to hold back any longer, Ileun laid Lona on the bed and, with trembling hands, found her lips.
Touching her face, which he had looked after at Cafe Cardinal, he brought his lips to the spot he desired.
The kiss with Lona was so sweet that as soon as he pressed his lips against hers, he resented himself for saying “just once is enough.”
“Sigh, Master Ileun. I also like you.”
At that moment, Ileun woke up.
“…It was just a dream.”
He was engulfed in selfloathing.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Lona groaned in her sleep.
She had slept deeply and just woke up. If not for the unfamiliar feeling of the body pillow. It wasn’t every day that she found it so comfortable to wrap her legs around something so warm, solid, moderately soft, and sturdy enough to support her body.
“Eek!”
With her eyes wide open, Lona was startled. What she had been hugging all this time was her precious master’s body.
‘How did I end up with Ileun…?’
She could barely remember falling asleep while reading a book the day before.
‘Why didn’t I go back to my room?’
It was frightening to think that someone might see her sleeping so deeply on one side of someone else’s bed.
Lona tried to carefully slip out of the bed.
However, as she had been tightly hugging him, Ileun’s arm was tightly wrapped around her waist. Just as she was sweating and trying to free herself from Ileun’s arm.
“You’re letting go now?”
A somewhat hoarse voice sounded from above her head.
Lona suddenly turned to ice.
“I, Illyeon.”
She was so surprised her body was shaking. She was still propped up on his thigh, unable to pull her leg away.
Despite Lona’s condition, Illyeon yawned and rubbed his eyes as if nothing was wrong. As he soothingly patted her back with his large hand, she felt reassured, her eyes wavering.
“Um, ah, did you sleep well?”
Since Illyeon seemed alright, Lona greeted him as she usually would.
“I couldn’t sleep.”
“Pardon?”
“You have a terrible sleeping habit.”
“Oh, hahaha.”
Lona quickly tried to get up from Illyeon’s bed. However, Illyeon wouldn’t let her go.
“Mr. Illyeon?”
“I have a question.”
As he held her and turned his body a little to the side, Illyeon’s face came so close to hers that his breath brushed her forehead.
“What are you curious about?”
“What color is your face now?”
“Pardon?”
“Are your cheeks red or something?”
Lona blinked, unable to understand Illyeon’s intention, and then his large hand gently touched her cheek. His long, firm fingers gently stroked her face, as if he wanted to feel the heat of her flushed cheeks.
‘He’s curious about everything.’
This was all because Illyeon wanted to tease her. Lona pouted in displeasure and said.
“It’s the color of chocolate.”
“Chocolate color?”
“I told you, my skin is on the darker side. Add red to that and there you have it. I’m incredibly embarrassed right now. I’ll quickly get out of your way.”
It was at that moment when Lona tried to pull her leg back from his.
‘Huh?’
She felt something she hadn’t been conscious of until now. In terms of body structure… Lona’s eyes unintentionally trailed off to the lower body hidden under the blanket.
“Hmm. Wait a minute.”
Illyeon suddenly took a deep breath. Lona paused. As if he had seen her watching him, Illyeon defensively gripped the blanket.
“Ha. Ha. Ha.”
Lona awkwardly laughed and carefully moved away from him. Respecting the private space of her employer was one of the important principles for a maid. But Lona failed to uphold that principle and glanced at her master’s lower body… Lona sighed.
After a moment of awkward silence, Lona muttered under her breath.
“You should have woken me up.”
Then this embarrassing situation wouldn’t have happened.
“I did wake you up, but you didn’t get up.”
“Oh, yes.”
It was plausible. Even if she was sleeping like a log, she had to move her body.
Despite being an office worker in her previous life, now she was working in the field. Her hardearned qualifications, the memories of the second round of exams, once again swept through Lona’s mind. Looking at the clock, fortunately, it was just before dawn. Judging by the quiet inside the grand chamber, it seemed everyone was about to wake up.
“Then I’ll go back to my room now……”
As Lona was getting up from the bed, avoiding Illyeon, she was startled.
Drip.
Due to her rough sleeping habits, her nightgown, which had come undone, slipped down, revealing her shoulder.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
