Merilyn trailed off, then leaned in nearer to my ear.

Feeling embarrassed by her subsequent whispering, I blurted out my confusion in direction of her unwittingly.

Merilyn.

I had momentarily forgotten.

She was somebody who actively joked about such issues.

Hehe, its only a joke~

Even when it was a joke, such a frivolous one didnt look too good.

Not sure about voicing my displeasure, I suppressed my phrases, and she or he, turning her again to me, started to prepared the ground down the road.

Properly, no use in dawdling, lets have a meal first Do you will have anywhere in thoughts to advocate, Hyo-sung?

Is it okay for me to determine?

Paradoxically, Im not from the empire. Im used to visiting unfamiliar locations, however Im nonetheless not well-versed within the native geography for the reason that final time I used to be right here, I solely stopped by briefly.

Certainly, even a frequent traveler couldnt know every little thing a few newly visited place.

So, pondering it was greatest for me to steer right now, I started to comply with her, eyeing a well-recognized signboard within the distance.

Theres a good restaurant close by. Its a bit dear, however I can afford it.

For that temporary second, the look in her eyes was indelibly etched into my imaginative and prescient.

Hyo-sung.

However even that temporary silence appeared to trouble her.

She spoke to me once more as time flowed on.

Who’s Airi?

At her repeated query, I lastly regained my composure.

Feeling a chill of unknown origin, I replied with issue to her query.

Shes effectively a home visitor.

I didnt know why.

Maybe it was the perfect reply I might give on this scenario.

A home visitor, so shes staying at your house?

Sure, thats proper, however

Why?

Why was Merilyn me like that, and why was I tensing up simply from our eye contact?

Did I unwittingly step on a landmine?

Hmm, is that so?

Merilyn spoke thoughtfully, making me really feel much more uneasy.

Merilyn started chopping the well-cooked veal steak along with her knife.

After meticulously chopping a bit, she picked it up along with her fork and opened her mouth.

She naturally directed the fork in direction of my mouth, not hers.

Right here, Hyo-sung. Ahh~

Merilyn then opened her mouth, indicating that I ought to comply with go well with.

Feeling embarrassed by her motion, my gaze unconsciously started to wander round.

I dont do that with simply anybody. Its as a result of its you, Hyo-sung.

Weve simply met once more after so lengthy, this a lot is okay, proper?

Regardless of my discomfort, Merilyn smiled coyly and pushed the fork in direction of me extra assertively.

Her gestures, which weren’t forceful throughout our first assembly, now appeared extra assertive.

Even after being aside for over three months, it appeared like the sentiments we shared again then hadnt light.

Only for right now.

Unable to refuse such sentiment, I ate the steak, and Merilyn, watching my response, chuckled and picked up one other piece along with her fork.

Now, Hyo-sung, yet another chew Hmph?!

However was I going to simply let this occur?

Seizing the second she opened her mouth, I minimize a bit of steak and fed her, inflicting her to have a look at me in shock.

In any case, I introduced you right here. I got here to deal with you to this meals, so it could be an issue if you happen to didnt eat, proper?

She chuckled and swiftly eliminated the fork from her mouth.

As we locked eyes, Merilyn swallowed the meat in her mouth and continued to stare at me.

Is it good?

Sure, sure.

Possibly she didnt anticipate me to be so ahead?

Her voice quivered unexpectedly, after which she lowered her head and replied quietly.

Very tasty. Possibly its as a result of Hyo-sung fed it to me that its much more

Her voice appeared virtually timid, but she couldnt disguise all her feelings.

Greater than the truth that I ate what she supplied

The truth that I fed her gave the impression to be perceived as one thing extra particular.

Im glad that youre glad.

Feeling satisfaction simply by observing her certainly meant I hadnt fully let go of my lingering emotions for her.

Regardless that I couldnt prioritize her over others, I nonetheless hoped she could be glad

No matter how our relationship would evolve, my honest want was for her happiness.

Excuse me, please.

Whereas we had been eating intimately, a waiter interrupted me and Merilyn.

Then he positioned one thing on our desk and gestured in direction of a secluded nook of the restaurant.

The gentleman over there requested me to offer this to you.

Turning round, I noticed a middle-aged man carrying a fedora.

He brushed his lengthy hair again, draped his coat deeply, and stood up, shifting in direction of the eating places exit.

His again felt unusually acquainted No, that couldnt be.

Rattling it.

Utilizing the time period breakfast within the night was a useless giveaway.

Ah, haha. It appears somebody has taken a liking to us.

In that second, I used to be bewildered, realizing that the vampire was actually an everyday right here and that I had been noticed with Merilyn as an alternative of Airi.

Attempting to not present my shock, I smiled vaguely, however Merilyns gaze was not on the tickets in my hand however in direction of the eating places exit.

Her lips misplaced their smile, and she or he adopted his retreating determine along with her pumpkin-colored eyes, beforehand proven to me.

It appears innocent for now; we could maintain off on it?

Merilyn?

Oh, sorry. I used to be simply involved about the one who confirmed us kindness.

Merilyn switched the temper again, chuckling softly.

It could be a mislead say I wasnt bothered by the abrupt change in environment, however for now, I selected to miss it.

No matter would possibly occur later, Airi trusted that I might return safely.

Hmm, these tickets appear to be for an opera close by. You stated you had time till the night, proper?

Sure, if Merilyn is okay with it, we are able to go collectively

Sure, since Airi gave her consent, it ought to be tremendous for now.
