Chapter 455 – #96_Travel (4)
#454
One.
6 o’clock early morning refreshing wake up.
Siwoo, who had fallen asleep in the awkward atmosphere, opened his eyes and jumped up.
As you recognize the unfamiliar landscape in front of your eyes, the events of the previous night flow like a memoir.
An awkward bed with Amelia.
It was a situation where we couldn’t even have a conversation like a conversation and were lying in bed.
“… Yes?”
When she turns her head, Amelia, who should be lying on the bed next to her, is missing.
All you see is the neatly arranged bedding, just like when you first entered the hotel.
Seeu was surprised.
Could it be that Amelia left like this? I thought she was.
“Amelia?”
Siwoo stood up and called her name.
Then, the door to the ensuite bathroom right next to the bedroom opens.
She was Amelia, wearing the same white dress she had worn yesterday.
I don’t know when she woke up, but the neatly combed blonde hair and the clear eyes reminiscent of a fairy are the same as usual.
Fortunately, concerns that he went somewhere overnight seem to be unfounded.
“Did you sleep well?”
As she secretly swept her insides and said good morning, Amelia gave her a small nod.
“Have you been washing?”
If you open another door in the bathroom, there is a toilet, but Amelia has no reason to go there because of her witchcraft.
That said, her hair was dry and dry after she washed it….
Could it be that the bathrooms of this world are strange and have been snooping around?
Looking at her behavior yesterday, it was well worth it.
“No, Siu, please come here for a moment.”
Amelia took Shiu by the sleeve and took her to the bathroom.
At that moment, the scent of lavender, which calms her mind with a little steam, fills her nose.
The bathtub was filled with warm water that had turned slightly purple.
In addition, wine, glasses, and unopened cigarettes are placed on the bathtub shelf where bath products can be placed.
Were you taking a bath?
“I prepared the morning bath water.”
“Bath water?”
“Siwoo likes taking a bath in the morning.”
Siu looked at Amelia.
Her face, slightly redder than before, glanced up, expecting compliments along with her eyes.
Anyway, maybe this….
It was only then that Siu could feel that a series of events were connected.
Amelia, who had to carry her luggage on her own, and Amelia, who stubbornly tried to do it with her own hands while reserving her accommodation.
Even Amelia, who wakes up first in the morning and prepares the bath water.
It was a servant-like action.
Amelia’s additional blow adds confidence to that prediction.
She said in a voice that Amelia crawled over little by little.
“Perhaps…. If you need a bath attendant, let me know. I’ll be waiting for you in front.”
This is it.
Of course, it’s hard to say that he doesn’t have the slightest desire to care or love, but it’s more like atonement for the past.
Just as Amelia pampered Siwoo with the tip of her chin, Amelia is trying to give back to Siwoo what she used to receive.
Because I’m sorry, because I have no face.
Amelia seemed to be trying to pay it off in her own way.
Amelia passed by her without Siwoo having a chance to say anything.
“…….”
I didn’t feel comfortable.
I want to say that you don’t have to be burdened. Accidents are not 100 to 0.
I wonder if Amelia is the only one taking on the heavy burden for no reason.
Anyway, it was prepared for a long time.
Siwoo took off his clothes, put them on loosely, and went into the bathtub.
The warm water that was just right and, above all, the scent of Amelia’s special bath salts, gave the illusion that even a bathtub that was insignificant compared to Jemonai’s bathroom was turned into a luxury bath.
If there’s wine and a cigarette here….
“Wait, cigarettes?”
Smoking is prohibited indoors at the hotel. If you smoke, the 200,000 won you deposited at check-in will be deducted as a fine.
“Miss Amelia!”
Siu urgently called Amelia.
A startling chuckle at the door.
“Can I help you?”
“Just in case, the hotel is non-smoking!”
“…….”
Static for a while.
“Of course I knew.”
Amelia’s answer came two beats later with a rustling sound.
2.
“Miss Amelia. Are you still doing this?”
After finishing the bath, Siu found Amelia sitting on her knees in front of her bathroom in a rather modest posture.
As if he had become a servant, he had been doing this in front of Siwoo the entire time he was relaxing in the bath.
“Yes.”
Amelia nodded her head.
“…….”
Some might see it as a show-off, self-satisfaction for atonement, but Amelia doesn’t have the ability to do that in her human relationships.
With all sincerity, it would be for Siwoo’s sake.
He still remembers suffering under her when he was her caretaker.
But in this way she no longer wanted to be bound by the past.
If the mistakes of the past caused by my shortcomings hinder our relationship in the future, I would rather dismiss them as non-existent.
“Wake up. And don’t do this in the future.”
“However….”
Maybe it was because I wasn’t comfortable.
Amelia panicked at the tone, which involuntarily changed to a stiff tone.
She showed her uneasiness as if she didn’t understand why Siu’s face was stiff.
There is a deep concern that something might have gone wrong.
Siu grabbed Amelia by the wrist and lifted her up.
Just hugging her terrified Amelia like a child who broke her plate.
Embraced by Siu, Amelia surrendered her body without any resistance.
“I told you. It’s really okay, I don’t hate you anymore, I understand everything.”
“However…. I want to do it. As much as Siwoo was having a hard time…. I want to do it for Siwoo too.”
Amelia answered in a fragile voice that seemed to break at any moment.
She was frustrated
It was not her anger at Amelia, but her own indecisiveness that had made her feel uneasy, making excuses of her distance, which made her frustrated.
“It’s really okay, don’t do it.”
“I will.”
“Do not.”
“I will.”
The person involved is very serious, but if you listen only to the lines, it is a very childish scuffle.
The reason is that there is something that each other cares about, so I think there will be no answer as it is.
Shouldn’t we have had this conversation over wine yesterday?
Though belatedly, I thought that we should sort out each other’s positions.
“Okay, let’s clean things up here.”
“Organize… ?”
“First, let me tell you what I think. It’s rather uncomfortable for Amelia-sama to act like this. I’m going to apologize like this because I’ve only done good things.”
“I was more wrong. For making Siwoo, who was quiet, suffer, to be forgiven and deceived by Siwoo, who doesn’t know anything….”
Deception?
That’s not it.
“It wasn’t deception. Amelia-sama was just trying to be nice to me, now I know.”
Rather, Amelia values Siu more than anyone else, and she regrets her mistakes in the past and tries to make up for them.
She realized long ago that her behavior, which seemed selfish and greedy, was a favor without calculation.
“I should be more apologetic about that. Rather, if I had calmed down and had a conversation, Amelia-sama wouldn’t have to suffer alone.”
“It is not… !”
When Amelia heard that, she quickly got out of Siwoo’s arms.
I don’t know if Siwoo said harsh words and left for Amelia.
But she apparently left her note.
It was a note saying that he was sorry for saying too much, and that he was willing to talk with his head cool for once.
What the Witch of Whispers didn’t know until she manipulated it and changed her contents was because she was so frightened that she delayed checking.
“Siwoo left a note…. Like an idiot, I didn’t read it and struggled alone….”
“No! What’s more, it wasn’t even in vain!”
Amelia never expected that she hadn’t read the note by that point.
This is because she did not know what kind of past and what wounds she was holding.
But if he really wanted to talk, he had plenty of time to talk even before returning to the present world.
Just because her face was hard to see and awkward, she only conveyed her passive will to talk, so Amelia had to head to the present world amidst her delusion and anxiety.
And Siu didn’t know about it, he handed over the battle where he risked his life to fulfill the contract with Keter.
Don’t know how much
They bumped into each other while raising their voices like this.
“Moreover, it’s really burdensome to go this far!”
“Why are you burdened! You’re telling me that I’ve done more wrong!”
The two of them talked almost non-stop, pouring out their thoughts that had been clumped together like a lump.
Even the quiet Amelia carried on her words quickly, shouting in a sharp voice and a high tone, like a quarrel between lovers.
Although the content of the fight was that I was more at fault, no, it was all the work of the Buddha, but Siwoo was serious, and Amelia was also serious.
In the midst of exchanging words, raising her voice to the point where she was short of breath, it was Amelia who got tired first.
It was because one undeniable truth was holding my ankles like shackles.
“Even though, still, still…. The fact that I bullied Siwoo won’t go away….”
“…….”
“Because I didn’t know, because I was immature. It’s not like the mistakes go away…. Siwoo’s hardships don’t have to be something that didn’t happen….”
Tears fell down Amelia’s cheeks as she bowed her head.
Even in her blissful moments, the past held Amelia in check.
Whenever he thinks of himself looking at him indifferently, insulting him, or harassing him with absurd chores, whenever he thinks of Siwoo, who would have been displeased with it.
Pain.
I am afraid that the more I love him, the more I will suffer.
“I want to pay back Siwoo. I want to correct it even if I become Siwoo’s slave….”
“Amelia….”
I see
Siwoo finally realized that the sense of distance he felt yesterday was not the fault of Siwoo alone.
We hugged each other and shed tears, but we didn’t really talk like this.
Therefore, Amelia, too, had only thought that she was confused about what kind of attitude she should show towards Siu.
But she still couldn’t forgive herself.
Thinking that she doesn’t deserve the euphoria, she has drawn herself a line.
“I hate you…. Very very….”
Amelia was sobbing.
She groaned, wiping the uncontrollable tears with her sleeve and suppressing her bursting cries.
Siu reached out to Amelia and wiped away her tears.
Amelia waits silently without avoiding her hand and speaks in a wet voice.
“… I don’t know, from one to ten…. I don’t know everything.”
“Ask me if you don’t know anything. If I can, I will answer.”
Amelia, who had managed to suppress her cry and swallow it back, pursed her lips.
A very careful, painful question.
“I…. Is it okay if I love Siwoo?”
This was the root cause that forced Amelia to turn her back and run away.
To be honest, I don’t think Siwoo can give this answer proudly… Only.
Still, he seemed to know how to reassure Amelia.
And a method that would be a definitive answer to her question.
Haven’t you done this before?
Siwoo hugged Amelia and her lips.
Amelia, who was trying to get behind her, wrapped her arms around her waist to prevent her from running away.
She opened her thin lips and licked her tongue.
It’s not like a light and fresh kiss.
It was a deep kiss that entangled each other’s tongues as if hitting her heart for wanting her.
When you finish a nice kiss like the main character in a youth drama.
“…….”
Amelia was frozen, her face red.
The swaying of her lips proves the fact that she is terribly surprised.
I felt sorry for her and kissed her in a fit of anger, but she was too shy, and it was embarrassing to see her react like that.
“Are you okay?”
“…….”
Amelia’s eyes, overheated and unfocused due to overheating, were unfocused.
Amelia grabbed Siwoo by the collar.
Shaking hands and voice.
“For once…. I do not know.”
Then, he clung to Siwoo’s neck and rather kissed him.
Although it was five days ago that she met her again.
Isn’t it now that we can face each other in a true sense?
Feeling the soft and hot tip of Amelia’s tongue, Siu thought so.
