177 – 55. Gift (2)
Elijah’s words that there is something more important.
The place she took Judas to was the bedroom.
Crystal-shaped ice was leaning against the wall facing the bed.
A woman trapped in ice that won’t melt.
It is the same as the face Judah saw in her underworld.
As the biological mother of Elijah, who opened a new world, she is called ‘The Virgin Mary’ among people today.
Elijah brought Judah here to take care of matters related to Mary first.
Judah, who had secretly hoped for her, faced her truth and she ended up feeling sorry for herself.
Her embarrassed expression was also due to the fact that she had been sharing saliva just before that.
“Maria….”
Elijah slowly walked in front of her and smoothed the ice with her fingertips.
It’s cold.
It was warm at the same time.
The person contained within it.
Even though she deceived herself.
She was his everything, his world and his warmth.
“I know that it was your mother who guided you in the afterlife.”
“… ….”
“That means, mom now…” That probably means she’s dead.”
A bitter smile appeared on Elijah’s face as he looked up into her faint eyes.
“I’m going to let you go now.”
Elijah was not confident that she could dispose of her biological mother’s body alone.
She was so neglected until now.
Elijah slowly turned around behind her.
“Can you help me? “I don’t think I can do it alone.”
She was struggling to smile with her lips tightly bitten.
But tears continued to flow from her eyes.
Judah walked up to her, wiped her tears, and hugged her tightly.
Elijah leaned helplessly into her wide and reliable arms.
She can be weak.
It’s okay to show her weaknesses.
In the arms of this man, anytime, anywhere.
“Lady. “My mother is not dead.”
“… Huh?”
Elijah has no memories of her life in the underworld. She
Because she was asleep there at the time.
Therefore, we do not know the conversation between Judas and Mary.
Of course, the story of Judah’s deal with God.
“But…” Your mother guides you in the underworld…. “You said that, right?”
“Yes. She certainly was, but she wasn’t dead. It might be hard to believe, but….”
Judah was embarrassed and scratched the back of her neck.
Even though she honestly says it herself, it’s a bit strange.
“I made a deal with God.”
“I see.”
But Elijah, she believed right away without any doubt.
Judas was embarrassed.
Elijah smiled softly at him.
“Now I believe anything you say.”
She remembers the pain she experienced from not trusting him.
So, Elijah decided to believe in him unconditionally.
Even if he deceives or betrays you, it doesn’t matter.
Of course, she’s sure he won’t.
“Then, please release the ice.”
Elijah felt nervous for some reason and took a deep breath.
She held Judas’ hand tightly.
I felt much safer than before.
She closed her eyes tightly and opened them slowly.
The ice that trapped Maria slowly disappeared from above her.
She melted and turned into air instead of water.
Thanks to this, Maria was soft and not wet.
Elijah immediately healed the wound on Mary’s stomach.
The same phenomenon occurred when treating Judas.
Golden flames filled Maria’s empty space and became clean new flesh.
Judah carefully removed her dagger.
Elijah healed her spot again.
“It’s done now…” ?”
“Yes. “It will take some time, but you will come to your senses.”
Judah, who said that, was also anxious inside.
Fortunately, it may not happen.
I slowly grabbed Maria’s wrist and checked her pulse.
Elijah was also worried and put his ear to Mary’s chest.
When will her heart beat?
And not long after.
-Excited.
Both Elijah and Judah caught signs of life.
It has just started running, a faint but clear pulsation.
“Phew….”
Judas breathed out in relief.
“Mom….”
Elijah was still held.
I was in my mother’s arms for who knows how long.
She is still cold, but she will soon regain her body temperature and breathe.
Elijah shed happy tears as he pictured her like that.
Judah waited for Elijah to enjoy that feeling.
Elijah, who barely managed to get her body up, jumped into Judah’s arms and hugged her.
“Thank you….”
“Nothing to say.”
“If it wasn’t for you, I would….”
She, speaking in a low voice, fell into her chest and began to sob.
Judah smiled bitterly and stroked her head, wiping away her tears.
“You’ve become the new crybaby I’ve never seen before.”
“Wow….”
“Your mother will wake up safely.”
“Ugh…. Thank you.”
I couldn’t put off eating any longer.
She just couldn’t leave Maria’s side, so she ordered her food to be sent to the kitchen.
Because Elijah’s fasting period was long, she ordered a sandwich, a food that was ready quickly.
While waiting, Judah cleaned her room.
Cleaning Elijah’s bedroom was Mary’s sole responsibility, and Elijah was busy without her even thinking about it.
She was left unattended for several days because she didn’t even think about having to clean it.
Elijah said he would order someone, but Judah stopped her.
No one can clean Elijah’s bedroom.
Does that mean that Judah knows for himself that he is no longer Elijah’s ‘anyone’?
Even though Elijah was embarrassed for no reason, she was in a good mood and laughed to herself.
“I’m not going to do any major cleaning anyway, I’m just going to just clean up until the sandwiches come up.
In the end, she was unable to stop Judah.
While he was cleaning, Elijah followed him around.
She took just a step away so as not to be disturbed.
She couldn’t allow the distance to spread any further.
She followed him around and observed him.
Compared to himself, he was pretty good at housework.
This is the influence of his life before coming here.
Elijah knows because she has traveled through his memories.
He lived alone from a very young age, and he had to face and solve everything on his own.
He handles things like cooking, cleaning, and laundry on his own without anyone’s help.
A life similar to but different from your own.
Unlike himself, who even had Maria, he had no one.
A life endured alone without a single family.
Elijah wanted to become his family.
And creating a new family….
‘… !’
Elijah, who was letting his imagination run wild, suddenly hugged him from behind.
Her face became hot like grilled cheese.
“Oh, lady?”
Judah was taken aback when he was suddenly hugged.
“Why are you doing this?”
“… Just.”
Elijah muttered vaguely.
The voice did not come out properly.
The moment she hugged him, she realized that many things had changed.
His body temperature. The feeling of touching your body. Because he hugged me from behind, the outlines of the muscles touching his hands and things like that felt so vivid that they were unnecessary.
It was an element I had never been conscious of before.
I hugged him to hide from the shame that no one knew about, but instead I became even more embarrassed.
Itchy feeling in my body that I feel like I shouldn’t be around any longer.
But I didn’t want to fall again.
Actually, I just pretended not to notice, but the problem had been there since before.
‘I want to kiss you…’ .’
The urge to touch our lips was exploding like a volcano.
From noble mtl dot com
I just pretend it’s not the case and endure it.
Judah was worried that she wouldn’t want it as much as he did, and he was also afraid that if she kept asking for more after doing it again, he would misunderstand that she was a lighthearted person. She
Even herself, she had no idea that she was this kind of person.
In order to ignore her instincts, she immersed herself in fundamental considerations.
What on earth does touching lips mean to us, so why are we so obsessed with it?
It’s just skin touching.
What is the difference between holding hands, hugging, or brushing shoulders and lips, so that the distinction is so meaningful and clear?
Ah. It comes from the unique characteristics of the body part called lips.
The oral cavity is an area where substances can easily invade from the outside, so it is very sensitive and must be handled with care.
For example, there would be absolutely no human being who would put his lips to a living creature or substance he had never seen before.
Therefore, touching your lips is behavioral evidence that you trust the target that much….
‘It doesn’t help!’
The thoughts I tried to ignore ended up only reminding me of the scene where I kissed him more deeply and rationally.
Rejecting instinct was useless.
While Elijah was caught up in unfamiliar and new emotions, Judah walked sloppily and focused on cleaning.
She couldn’t fall with Elijah holding her body close, so she had no choice but to walk like that.
His mind was not normal right now either.
‘I’m going crazy…’ .’
The moment I hugged Elijah, kissed him, and shared saliva, that feeling came to mind again and again.
In fact, that is why Judas suddenly declared that he would clean up.
If I stayed still with Elijah, bad imaginations and impulses would surge and it was difficult to bear.
After gulping down each other so ravenously earlier, it was somehow difficult to do it again now.
She was also worried that it might seem like she was taking it easy.
‘And again, so…. Yes and so, but we still have each other, I’m sure, um….’
What kind of relationship are these two, and what are their feelings?
It was a bit ambiguous because I hadn’t decided on that.
That was what he thought.
Even because she was suddenly hugged from behind, something warm and soft was touching her lower back.
‘I’m cleaning now…’ . Cleaning….’
Not knowing that they harbored the same desire, the two quietly tried to extinguish the embers that had grown in each other’s hearts.
*
The twists and turns and awkwardness that came out of nowhere were broken when the dish arrived.
The two succeeded in not revealing their desires.
But Judas entered his second test.
Because Elijah tried to sit on her lap.
He asked me to feed him a sandwich.
When we ate together, she often let me sit on her lap.
Although he sits on her lap, Elijah always sits deep inside her thighs.
Because of that, Judah was in trouble more than once.
But she doesn’t know what will happen with the changes in her body to be straight and honest if she sits down as usual now.
If you refuse, they will ask why, and you will have to talk about issues that are difficult to reveal at the moment.
“… ….”
While Elijah waited, Judah made an important decision.
