Recently, Cheondo has been appearing surprisingly.

Brother Would you prefer to have this?

She shyly supplied a ripe water peach.

As I took it, Cheondo immediately grabbed my hand holding the peach and gently stroked the again of my hand.

The bodily contact has elevated an excessive amount of.

Shes been clinging to me greater than earlier than. Even her voice had develop into extra childlike.

Cheondo, along with her face flushed crimson, turned away so I couldnt see it and leaned her head on my shoulder.

Her physique clung to me tightly regardless that she averted my gaze.

Its a very assertive conduct thats nearly burdensome.

Cheondo.

Sure?

Is one thing unsuitable?

Cheondo shook her head and moved nearer.

Now, with no more room to shut, Cheondos shoulder was pressed firmly towards me.

Do you might have any worries?

No, I dont.

She stopped mid-sentence as if pricked, then smiled calmly.

Cheondos eyes, me, shone with an age-inappropriate gentle.

Whats gotten into her? May it probably be concerning the evening she spent along with her sisters?

Though not sure, this may very well be a major problem.

Given how a lot shes clinging to me, she is likely to be drastically dissatisfied if I have been to vanish. My coronary heart felt uneasy.

Somebody as pure as Cheondo would undoubtedly fall into deep sorrow.

World Tree of Time.

[Yes?]

In a nook of my thoughts, I slowly started to seek for an answer.

-Cheondo, hear effectively? It’s good to win over brother.

That evening, Cheondo reminisced concerning the treasured tales shared within the bed room.

His hand is heat.

The important thing was to evenly bounce after which subtly stick shut.

Hand.

The 101 methods for a girl to captivate a person.

Hwangdo had completely taught her each tip, which was now firmly embedded in Cheondos thoughts.

Brothers hand

-Are you listening, Cheondo?

The Hwangdo in her thoughts nagged loudly.

Unaware of even that, Cheondo was totally consumed by memorizing each sensation she felt at her fingertips.

Staying nonetheless like this, it felt as if she would give you a brand new martial arts method.

So tough.

The feeling of anothers contact flowing over the floor of her fingers.

Even the acquainted feeling of a hand started to really feel completely different as she grew to become conscious of her feelings, nearly to the purpose of discovering her earlier self who refused to comply with Hwangdos recommendation laughable.

-How will you do such embarrassing issues?

-You shouldnt be embarrassed, actually! Its not like youre carrying tofu to them!

Create a non-public place only for the 2 of you.

It was good since her brother at all times got here at evening.

Get nearer than normal, act cool and good.

Cheondo didnt fairly perceive what appearing cool meant.

Because the state of affairs progressed up to now, Cheondo was dropping her rationality as effectively.

Ignoring what the brother had as soon as stated about having somebody particular.

-Are you critical?

Baekdo, who had created an uncomfortable ambiance, coated her brow along with her hand, mendacity down for some time earlier than ultimately providing her help to Cheondo.

-Im actually at my wits finish. Cheondo likes him, however what am I alleged to do?

-Baekdo, do you need to search for somebody like that too?

-Id contemplate it in the event that they appreciated exhausting peaches.

-You wont discover anybody like that~

-Do you actually need to get in bother?

-Kyaa~

The sisters united in spirit. Cheondo waited for her brother, inspired by their cheer.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

Her coronary heart was beating in real-time.

Holding a uniform rhythm beside the particular person she adored.

He couldnt probably hear it, may he?

Fanning her flushed face, Cheondo thought this.

I hope he can hear it. Even the phrases in my coronary heart.

Solely touching one shoulder. Logically, with the space between them, he shouldnt have the ability to hear.

Realizing her coronary heart may make such loud noises, Cheondo moved her shoulder even nearer.

Startled, her brothers shoulder trembled.

Within the room crammed with stuffy air, cheeks flushed and holding a peach in her hand, Cheondo secretly conveyed the sound of her coronary heart to her brother.

Brother.

She wished to know his actual title.

Would he inform her with out hesitation in the event that they actually bought shut?

Brother.

In a room barely three pyeong massive, a door coated tightly with paper screens.

It was the evening one week earlier than the Younger Demons demise.

Time handed.

Cheondos modified angle considerably boosted the time we spent collectively.

What do I do now?

[What do you mean what Isnt this the path youve chosen?]

Thats true.

Cheondo, holding my hand and strolling by means of a backyard crammed with peach bushes.

She checked out me and shyly laughed, hoo hoo. Such a fairly face.

However, there was no manner from the beginning.

Hwangdo, and even Baekdo, might need been one factor, however I by no means thought Cheondo would harbor such emotions for me.

And now, the day to die and return to the current was not far off.

Even for me, its inevitable to be involved about Cheondo.

She likes me an excessive amount of.

[Isnt that a good thing? To become someones memory.]

I may additionally give her a horrible reminiscence. What if it traumatises her?

Slyly interlocking fingers and attaching a fallen peach blossom to her hair, she grinned and requested the way it regarded.

Brother, there are so~ many flowers!

Her expressions have been changing into more and more various.

The tone of her voice saved altering. I assumed Cheondos robust voice was pure.

Brother?

The voice sounded impassive sufficient to surprise if she was indignant.

Brother~

However now, anybody would spontaneously say it sounded cute.

Its as if, by me changing into the Younger Demon, shes choosing up issues shed left behind one after the other. Her smile has develop into extra various than earlier than. It felt like Cheondos feelings have been regularly coming again to life.

To assume Im partaking in a pseudo-relationship with a toddler.

I felt a way of self-disgust, however seeing her smile, all these ideas disappeared.

[Does age difference really matter?]

I’ve my ideas.

[I see.]

Nonetheless, I used to be attempting to make it as fulfilling as doable.

Excluding the instances I deliberate issues with Cheonma, I used to be at all times with Cheondo. Its considerably fulfilling to be with the younger woman of Dowon.

Brother!

Brother, brother, brother.

Listening to it repeatedly made me really feel like I used to be actually going to die.

Hm?

Why do you retain spacing out?

Was I too misplaced in thought?

I relaxed my expression and stroked Cheondos head.

Cheondo moved the hand from her crown to below her arm, forcing my arm to wrap round her.

Lets go, shortly.

Why the hurry? Bought one thing hidden?

There’s something hidden.

What may very well be so hidden that it took two hours to stroll from DoWon?

Half curiosity, half obligation led me to a wide-open backyard.

That is the place I at all times performed after I was youthful.

The cascading waterfall and the winding stream.

A rock jutting out in the course of the river.

This magnificent view was encircled by sprawling peach bushes.

-Swooosh!

Flower petals flowed alongside the river water.

From afar, it felt like watching a pink river.

Its so lovely, isnt it?

Proper? Come over right here.

What now?

Cheondo pulled my arm and led me to a sure rock.

With a beaming smile, we reached a rock the place an unknown flower ring was positioned.

In poor health give this to you.

Deep pink.

A hoop fabricated from sharp-tipped peach blossoms, with the ring half fabricated from inexperienced grass, fragile sufficient to disintegrate with slightly pressure.

This?

I used to make these typically and provides them to my grasp I wished to provide one to brother too.

Cheondo, whereas smiling, glanced at me after which supplied the ring as if entrusting it to me.

Is it a bit infantile?

Eager about the kids of Dowon, if it suited their age, I didnt discover it infantile.

[Hmm?]

What?

[No, its nothing. Its a joyous occasion.]

What pleasure?

I took Cheondos ring and tried it on my finger for present.

Cheondo, trying delighted simply by that, beamed at my hand holding the ring.

Its good.

The ring was made by Cheondo with peach blossoms.

Lifting my hand in the direction of the sky, it appeared to shine even brighter within the daylight.
