Chapter 148: Three Peaches (8)
Time slowly handed by, like watching an inclined hourglassone hour, two hours.
Surrendering to the moments sensible sparkle, ignoring the vacancy of its inevitable finish. Having fun with the fleeting sweetness.
I waited for Cheondo to fall deeper into sleep as I stroked her lush hair.
Mmm.
Cheondo appeared unwilling to let me go.
Her thighs tightly wrapped round my waist, and her fingers certain my again.
She fell asleep in such a fashion, guaranteeing I couldn’t escape.
I pulled the blanket as much as my waist and draped it over Cheondos shoulders.
The inevitable sweat from sleeping soaked into our garments.
I’ve to go to coaching as we speak.
Feeling responsible about leaving the comfortably sleeping Cheondo.
Like a safety blanket.
Thats precisely the way it felt proper now.
-Rustle.
She rubbed her cheek in her sleep discuss.
As I attempted to stand up by placing power into my physique, the arm that was hugging me tightened.
If I had a younger and harmless sister, wouldn’t it really feel like this?
Hmm.
I wiped the sweat beaded on her brow with my hand.
-Click on.
Then Cheondo reached out, grabbing my hand on her brow, and positioned my palm in opposition to her cheek.
Did she get up?
Watching her face carefully, Cheondo grinned on the heat of my hand, grinding her tooth.Folloow present novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)
She doesnt appear to be awake.
Corn sausage.
She introduced the hand touching her cheek to her mouth. Crunch!
Eek!
I silently screamed, pulling my finger out as saliva stretched between us.
Cheondos face turned sullen because the corn sausage left her mouth.
My poor index finger with clear tooth marks.
It throbbed as if burned.
In the meantime, Cheondo appeared to be trying to find the corn sausage, grinding her tooth and groping my physique.
If this continues, my complete physique will grow to be corn sausages.
I prolonged a finger and positioned it in Cheondos hand, loosening the grip of her arm.
Once more, crunch!
I coated my mouth in sharp ache, freed myself from her embrace, and withdrew my finger.
Mmm.
Having misplaced one thing to know, Cheondo stretched out her hand after which fell again asleep as if nothing had occurred.
Lets simply go to coaching.
I used to be not feeling significantly sleepy.
After fondly Cheondo, I placed on my garments and went exterior.
-Thunk.
Rigorously closing the door, I left her chamber and freely roamed the Dowon at evening.
-Chirping, chirping.
The evening right here was fairly quiet.
Listening carefully, one might hear the sounds of bugs.
There have been hardly any lights like avenue lamps. Aside from just a few lit homes, there was virtually no gentle illuminating the Dowon.
I started transferring in the direction of the place the place I all the time meet the previous man.
-Chirring.
Because the forest deepened, the sound of bugs grew.
Climbing a mountain thats not well-paved.
Sometimes, moths and such would spring from the bushes, however in my present state, they have been nothing however a welcome distraction.
Its peaceable.
Peace.
On the fringe of my sight, the previous mans again began appearing.
An previous man sitting on a rock with the moon overhead as a substitute of the solar.
An extended pipe emitted wispy white smoke.
Gazing on the breathtaking view with a cigarette.
It might have been fairly a picturesque scene, if not for the scent of blood on the tip of my nostril.
Did you come once more?
Sure.
The previous man responded with a raspy voice to my query.
My life has grow to be fairly low-cost. To assume theyre sending these varieties of individuals.
Our bodies piled up subsequent to the previous man.
Solely then did I flip my gaze to them.
A horrific sight.
Nugatory chunks of meat that defied description.
The previous man chuckled dismissively as I shrugged.
Madman. Youre an enigma. Heavy at occasions, frivolous at others. Your function is so blurred, its barely seen. A chaotic one.
What are you saying?
Im saying your psychological state is inconsistent.
I might see myself step by step adapting to the hectic schedule.
-Madman. Youre an enigma. Heavy at occasions, frivolous at others. Your function is so blurred, its barely seen. A chaotic one.
Come to consider it, I had heard that earlier than.
Was it a roundabout method of claiming I lacked rules?
I requested Hongyeon, who was dealing with official duties beside me,
Hey.
As quickly as I spoke, Hongyeon instantly appeared up from the paperwork, a a lot softer gaze than two months in the past.
What’s it?
Do I look like I’ve some sort of psychological dysfunction?
Uh? What, what?

As if questioning if I had eaten one thing unsuitable.
If I communicate the reality, what is going to you do?
I wont say something. Simply inform me truthfully.
Because the first time I met you, you appeared like a madman.
Hongyeon fastidiously tried to not offend me, then immediately threw a straight pitch.
I didnt count on that reply.
Seeing my shocked face, Hongyeon hurriedly put down her fountain pen and waved her fingers.
Its not meant as an insult. Theres one thing gripping about you, isnt that why I mentioned it first?
She had some extent.
Hongyeon checked out me intently, then furrowed her brows as if attempting to recall one thing. Then, as if she had discovered the best phrases, she clapped her fingers and mentioned,
Generally your actions are incomprehensible.
Incomprehensible actions?
It looks as if youre transferring with one thing crucial in thoughts However then you definately act leisurely. Umm. And generally you obsess over one thing easy.
What was she speaking about?
Even Hongyeon tilted her head doubtful as she spoke.
Filtering by her phrases, it appeared like one phrase might clarify it.
Psychopath! Yeah, you appear to be a psychopath.
Hey.
Whereas I might tolerate being known as a madman, being known as a psychopath felt a bit too harsh.
I flicked her brow, and Hongyeon frowned.
You requested for honesty.
Generally, I crave flattery and adoration.
A psychopath, huh? Thats not it.
Nevertheless it appeared Hongyeon was sincerely talking her thoughts.
Possibly it’s best to go to a hospital?
When have you ever ever cared about what I believe?
Generally.
One other flick on the brow.
Ouch!
Hongyeon rubbed the entrance of her shiny pink hair, expressing her ache.
Her eyebrows slanted in frustration.
She tried to glare at me with one eye however ended up trying down, defeated.
I regretted mentioning this subject. I didnt even know why I began it.
I received up from my seat and began getting dressed.
Are you leaving work now?
Yeah. It looks as if issues will run easily with out me. I used to be speculated to stop final month, however in some way I ended up staying till now.
Is that so?
Hongyeon gathered the paperwork, tapping them on the desk, and shoved them right into a nook.
Her face, which appeared annoyed only a second in the past, now appeared considerably relieved but bitter.
Right now was my final day of labor.
What’s going to you do now?
Coaching, and begin getting ready to depart.
Youve actually precipitated fairly a stir.
From Hongyeons perspective, that might be the case.
Inflicting bother within the Dowon, searching for out Cheonma.
Turning into the Younger Demon, then opposing it and getting crushed for it.
Such an individual immediately took up administration and received concerned, surprisingly turning out to be fairly helpful, all the time sticking round throughout work.
Now, with out saying a lot, we took care of our duties, making us first rate political and enterprise companions.
After placing away her fountain pen, Hongyeon additionally stood up.
I wish to drink. I’ve far more accountability now.
A roundabout method of asking if I used to be going to drink.
The extra I noticed it, the much less I received used to the cautious look in Hongyeons eyes.
Later.
Ingesting sounded good, however I had duties piling up.
I had been serving to with Cheonmas work for the previous week and should hold my promise with Cheondo.
I additionally wanted to resolve the misunderstanding with Baekdo.
Is that so? Make certain its later.
Hongyeon gave me a clumsy smile.
As she bent right down to put away the paperwork she was holding, her reddish-brown bangs coated her eyes.
Not a lot time left.
