âUhhmm! By the way⊠Do you live in this village?â
Her voice, which had been pierced with sharp edges, faded like a shy girl. Merson gave no answer with an expressionless face.
Accepting his silence as an affirmation, Chenin slowly ruffled her wavy scarlet hair behind her ear.
âI hope to see you more often.â
Mersonâs expression wrinkled. Why does she want to see him often?
But Merson didnât speak any more and turned and came back to my side. When Merson left, Chenin closed the door as if her business was over.
The villagers who saw it all went out of the village chiefâs house, each with their tongues clicking.
âMerson, letâs go eat too.â
âYes.â
No matter how anyone looked at it, at a glance, Chenin had fallen in love with Merson at first sight. Well, it would be strange if she didnât fall for him. Weâve been living together for over two years, but this inhuman appearance makes it hard for me to get used to.
I looked at his face again and again, and my eyes met Mersonâs. The red eyes were trembling. Itâs dangerous.
âAt, at home!â
Merson grabbed my waist tightly. And as he flicked his finger once, the light wrapped around us, and we suddenly fell onto the bed in my room.
âItâs okay now right?â
âHey! I told you not to use your magic power!â
Hit! Hit!
He doesnât listen to me, really! I hit Mersonâs head with a pillow relentlessly.
I made a simple breakfast, chewing a dry whole wheat bread and making up for my lack of sleep .
I yelled loudly at Merson, who was begging for a kiss, and he grew sullen and grunted the whole time. But after a while, he felt sleepy, so he buried his forehead on my shoulder and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Shooo-
The sound of his breathing was pleasantly heard and I fell into a comfortable sleep without even dreaming. It was a perfect sleep that was completely satisfying with the feel of the blanket and the familiar smell of Mersonâs body.
Knock. Knock.
If it wasnât for this knock.
I was the first to open my eyes to the sound of the knock, which persisted without giving up. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was leaning further to the west. I feel like I slept for 10 minutes, but I think I lay in bed for about two hours. But I didnât have the strength to get up, so I tapped Merson with my elbow.
âWake up, someone is here.â
âWho?â
Merson slowly woke up, opening his sleepy eyes. When he talked into my ear in a low, hoarse voice, uhhh, I got goosebumps. I shook my head at Mersonâs question. I donât know.
Merson tidied my hair, which was fluttering around my ears, placed it behind my ears, and got up.
As Merson disappeared, I quickly rolled onto the wide bed. The rest of the bed was still warm with his lingering body heat.
I pulled the blanket up to my chin and closed my eyes again. But I didnât fall asleep. I pricked my ears and wanted to know the situation outside.
Squeak.
Merson must have opened the door.
âOh my! You really do live in a place like this. I asked my grandfatherâŠâŠ.â
Some unlucky bixxhâs voice⊠Yes, itâs Chenin. I could not hear Mersonâs voice.
A momentary silence passed, and Chenin spoke again.
âDid you sleep? Sleepy eyes are sexy⊠no, but you are charming!â
ââŠâŠ.â
âI tried on the dress, how is it?â
ââŠâŠ.â
âGrandfather said I look like an angel, do I really look that pretty?â
âI donât really like angels.â
âAh, a fairy then?â
What is this verbal diarrhea? Everything coming out of their mouths was nonsensical. In the end, I barely managed to overcome my fatigue that seemed to kill me, and I got my upper body up from the bed.
Blink, blink-
Even closing one eye seemed like slow motion. Oh, Iâm tired!
âCan I come in? Itâs been a long time since Iâve met someone of a similar age here.â
No, heâs over 2,000 years old. Heâs a grandfather beyond imagination.
As if Chenin had entered, the creaking sound got closer. Hey, I canât keep sitting still when sheâs coming in.
âHuh!â
Finally I got up from bed. Iâll serve some tea and talk before letting her go.
I grabbed the doorknob and was about to go out, but I stopped at the sound of Cheninâs words.
âArenât you tired of this country life?â
Thump.
Even though it was an obvious question, I didnât expect it.
Thinking about it, Merson came to Sezain according to my will without asking any questions, got a house and started living in the country according to my will. It must have been a force majeure, since he lost his memory and had no one to rely on except me.
Yes, I ⊠never once asked Merson what he thought of life here.
