Jackal felt his rough heartbeat and glanced back.
But Asha, who approached him first, leaned her face against his back as if nothing had happened and gently fell asleep again.
His back was truly a cozy resting place for Asha…….
Jackal sighed and decided to just lie down quietly instead of getting out of bed.
Thinking that she seemed to find his back as comfortable as a pillow, he thought he should help her sleep soundly this way.
But even though he turned his back, her warmth was still conveyed to him.
He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep, but the soft touch was felt over and over, driving him crazy.
Jackal ended up staying up all night…….
In the early morning, he got up before her and came back with a sullen face after washing his face with cold water.
To her question of where he had been, Jackal was about to say, ‘I was going to ask you where you had been.’
But he opened his mouth, forgetting that he was in the form of a horse.
“……Heeing.”
A sound like the wind escaping from his mouth flowed out.
Jackal’s face turned bright red. Asha secretly held back a laugh.
Then, at that moment, a yellow butterfly flew in from somewhere and landed on his nose.
It was an incredible timing.
Asha’s face turned so red that she could no longer hold back, and she burst out laughing, snorting.
Despite being a grayblue horse, Jackal’s face had turned bright red.
Asha, with a playful face as if holding back a laugh, barely stammered out,
“Last time, a magpie, sat there, too……. Animals seem to really like, Jackal’s nose.”
“…….”
Jackal closed his eyes, blushing.
Asha peeked at him with one eye open and playfully added,
“……I like it too.”
The moment Jackal opened his eyes wide, Asha spoke softly to the butterfly on his nose, pretending not to know.
“Butterfly, Jackal’s ticklish.”
Perhaps her words were understood, the butterfly flew up into the sky again.
A horse carrying a butterfly…… it was truly to her taste.
Asha spoke, holding back her laughter,
“Jackal, I have a favor to ask. Can you do it?”
Jackal perked up his ears, looking as if he was asking what it was.
Asha smiled and said,
“I just milked some fresh goat’s milk for Jackal to eat, can you eat it in the form of a sheep just this once?”
It was the sinister smile she had shown when he was bathing at his cabin before.
“…….”
When Jackal didn’t answer, Asha slightly frowned and said,
“You looked so cute when you were drinking water at the cabin before, I wanted to see it again…….”
Her violet eyes twinkled so wistfully that Jackal finally surrendered.
“……Prrr.”
“Really? Oh, I’m excited!”
Asha childishly rejoiced and poured the goat’s milk into a broad dish.
If she liked it, something like this was nothing, Jackal resolved.
As he licked up the goat’s milk with his tongue, Asha knelt in front of him, watching him with her head tilted.
Her face, intently watching the sheep, was filled with affection.
Jackal closed his eyes in embarrassment and lapped at the goat’s milk.
It felt as if he had returned to his calf days, drinking milk.
But he was a little worried inside if Asha truly thought of him as an animal.
When he finished the tasty goat’s milk, Asha wiped off the cute white milk that was smeared around his mouth and chin with a handkerchief.
And, as if proud, she gently stroked his nose and said,
“Sheep’s nose is mine.”
At those words, he snorted in excitement without realizing it.
Asha laughed innocently and gave a kiss to his nose.
Jackal felt like he would lose consciousness from the boiling heat of his body.
…Before he knew it, he was a wild horse that had been completely tamed by her.
As soon as he finished eating, he poured his energy into rebuilding the new shelter with his organization members.
He looked very serious and cool as he went around tirelessly to grasp the construction situation, reviewing documents with the chief.
They say a working man is sexy.
Asha, sitting on a log with her hands on her face, watched him, completely different from the adorable Shepi he had been earlier.
Jackal felt her gaze and looked over at Asha as he was flipping through the documents.
Asha spoke.
“Take it easy and rest. Your injuries haven’t healed yet.”
Though he still had bandages on his body, he shook his head.
“It’s okay. I must participate in the rebuilding of the village as the leader. More than anything, we have to build our house quickly…”
Jackal stopped midsentence and choked.
Asha’s eyes widened slightly, and she inquired.
“Our house…?”
Jackal turned away and covered his mouth.
His ears were red.
Asha’s face also seemed to be heating up suddenly.
Jackal, embarrassed, looked down at the floor and spoke.
“…Pretend you didn’t hear what I just said. I wanted to keep it a secret until it was finished…”
Asha quickly responded.
“What did you just say? I didn’t hear anything.”
“…Okay.”
Asha hurriedly made way for him, but unbeknownst to herself, a smile spread across her lips.
To live in a house with him…
