Sharti recalled the previous evening. He had a more distressed face when she was suffering from trauma and having seizures, and he comforted her fervently.
[It’s okay. I’m here. I was wrong. Don’t cry. Please, it’s okay because I’m by your side.]A desperate whisper as if begging, hands that held her more tightly than now, and her appearance trapped in Ren’s embrace, crying.
She opened her eyes today and immediately felt the anxiety she had embraced.
“And I didn’t look at your face. Really.”
“…….?”
“So, can’t you look at me now?”
The end of his thick eyebrows was downturned.
Sharti opened and closed her mouth repeatedly.
It felt like overwhelming emotions, whether laughter or tears, were about to burst out.
Sharti wiped her trembling lips.
“……Shya?”
Ren, seeing her reaction, let go of her hand.
In that brief moment when they separated slightly, Sharti poked his eyebrow.
“……?”
Ren, surprised, paused, and his furrowed brow smoothed out.
Sharti chuckled silently and opened her palm.
“Sorry.”
At her words of pain, Ren immediately withdrew his hand.
“…….?”
Ren stared at Sharti’s palm with his mouth tightly closed.
“But if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have cried.”
Unable to immediately refute his guilt-laden words, Sharti didn’t counter.
Then, Ren’s turquoise eyes gleamed with tenderness.
“So, today, you wanted me to leave immediately.”
“……?”
Misunderstandings were accumulating here as well.
However, since Sharti had been avoiding Ren all day, she reflected on her actions.
She needed to quickly admit her mistake and clear up the misunderstanding.
“……No?”
Sharti vigorously nodded her head.
Ren looked at her with a skeptical gaze.
“But then… why… did you give me clothes?”
When Ren hesitated and asked, Sharti blinked.
Then, Sharti lowered her gaze to confirm the pants he was wearing.
It was pants she had made for Ren.
“…….?”
Ren blinked as if taken aback.
A short awkward silence hung in the air.
‘Has the misunderstanding been resolved?’
Then, Ren turned his head back and covered his face.
“Haahaaa……. ”
A forcibly released sigh and his reddened ears were conveying his feelings.
It seemed like the misunderstanding was resolved.
Sharti, who was observing Ren’s reaction, couldn’t help but smile.
‘But why did he come out wearing only the pants when I left both the top and bottom in front of the door?’
It was unclear why he was wearing only the pants, especially without wearing anything on top.
Perhaps, it deepened Manmulsang’s misunderstanding.
‘… Right! The request!’
There was still a misunderstanding that needed to be clarified.
Thinking of explaining the unintended request to Ren, her eyes suddenly became dark.
While awkwardly gazing at Ren, who was looking at her suspiciously, Sharti suddenly recalled what he whispered.
[I will devote myself to helping, my lady.]Sharti shivered involuntarily.
Especially when she could see Ren’s well-defined muscles right in front of her, her face turned red in an instant.
Late in realizing her embarrassment, Sharti struggled to find a place to look.
“I thought I had nothing to say even if I was kicked out.”
Still covering his face, Ren murmured.
Sharti clenched her lips.
She couldn’t deny it, making her mouth taste bitter.
‘Perhaps I secretly wished that Ren would leave and not be here.’
She didn’t want to explain the cause of the seizures to Ren, and she didn’t want to face the fear of showing her face.
So, whenever she had a seizure, she used the excuse of pain to avoid him.
“……. ”
Sharti scratched her neck.
Enduring the still burning and scorching pain in her throat, Sharti tensed her neck.
“Am I really strange?”
“……What?”
“Suspicious, sinister, with many horrifying secrets.”
It was unnecessary to say such things.
What help would belittling herself bring?
Nevertheless, Sharti spoke her mind instead of her head.
“It’s not me; it’s Ren who should avoid me.”
Now she held futile expectations.
A chuckle escaped as it seemed like she was testing Ren.
Sharti stared steadfastly at the silent Ren.
“But why do you keep getting involved with me? I feel embarrassed and scared every time Ren does that.”
“…….Why?”
At the relentless tone, Sharti shook her fingertips.
Under his penetrating gaze that saw through her cowardly intentions, Sharti gripped the hem of her clothes.
“But you decided I’m the person who will leave tomorrow, right? You didn’t care much about revealing secrets, so it’s strange.”
Unable to refute the piercing words, Sharti closed her mouth, using the excuse of a pricking throat.
“If I say one thing, yes, Shya, you are strange to me.”
“……!”
“Why are you nice to me? Was I pitiful as an injured patient? Did I seem like I was raising a dog?”
Sharti was bewildered by the sudden mocking tone.
“You say that and still want to send me away without remembering me? Have you forgotten the promise? And! You’ve been trying to send me away even though my secret was exposed?”
“No, Vireta Grandma will take care of Ren, so…”
“That old woman won’t be watching me day and night, right? How do you stop a person’s mouth?”
“……. ”
Sharti was left speechless by the relentless questioning.
However, Ren didn’t care.
Instead, he began expressing his grievances as if his heart was hurt.
“You were kind, then ignored me. You were cautious, then reckless. We got close, then distanced. I was the one uneasy about every word and action of yours.”
Towards the end, Ren turned his head with a sob.
Helpless, Sharti didn’t know what to do as Ren grinded his teeth, feeling the sting of pain.
There was no sense of throat pain amid Ren’s unexpected tantrum.
“But surely, Ren received a proposal from Grandma Vireta…”
“Just a proposal, I haven’t given an answer yet.”
Sharti blinked, not understanding.
Wasn’t the answer already decided?
There was no reason not to follow Vireta.
“I… I don’t want to leave this place.”
However, Ren’s decided answer was different.
The glint in his firm eyes revealed a flicker of sincerity towards Sharti.
“I like being with you.”
“……. ”
“Can’t you keep me forever?”
The emotions that were intense just a while ago were nowhere to be found. A calm face concealed tension.
Staring at Sharti without meeting Ren’s gaze, she opened her mouth absentmindedly.
“……You need to find your memories.”
“…….”
“There might be someone waiting for Ren. He might have a place to return to.”
“That’s possible.”
Ren responded casually, shrugging his shoulders.
Ren’s expression, which had been stoic, softened a bit.
“But right now, Shya, your secret is more important than my memories.”
A deep smile had appeared on Ren’s lips unnoticed.
“I want to protect our secrets together here until your anxiety is covered with trust towards me. That’s my decision for now.”
