Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 127

〈Mother!〉

Thanks to bracing myself against the desk, I didn’t fall—but the precarious stack of books, arranged in Shuri’s own peculiar system, tumbled off onto the floor with a crash because of me.

〈This is ruined.〉

No matter how good my memory was, I couldn’t possibly recall the exact order of every book on his desk. Besides, many volumes had been stacked half-open, so I hadn’t even known precisely which books were lying there.

〈What should I do?〉

It felt as if all the blood had drained from my face in an instant from sheer embarrassment.

〈Sigh… Why do I always cause such trouble…?〉

Flustered, I crouched back down and started reorganizing the books. For those with creased pages from being left open too long, I tore off scraps of paper to use as makeshift bookmarks before closing them.

〈I’ll just stack them neatly for now and offer to help him sort everything properly later. I don’t really have a choice.〉

The damage was already done. Wallowing in panic and repeating “What do I do? What do I do?” wouldn’t change anything. I resolved to do whatever I could to fix the situation.

Part of that confidence came from the belief that Shuri wouldn’t scold his younger sibling over a messy desk. With swift hands, I gathered the fallen books from the floor.

〈Huh? This is…〉

In the process, I came across a book I knew all too well.

〈Why is this here?〉
