Chapter 83 – Lily
Occasionally, she would forget that Seo-joon had feelings for her.
It was because Seo-joon was being very mean to her.
He treated her badly, to the point where he wondered if he had feelings for her.
Once, while the three of them were in the midst of mana training, Seojun suddenly touched their breasts.
Frightened by this, Lily slapped him on the back of his arm, but luckily she didn’t notice that Ian was immersed in his training.
Look- he said he would never notice- he said he would just touch him- he absolutely hates Seo-joon who pushes him- he’s crazy- he got angry and ran away.
I should have stayed still…
Seo-joon was silent all day. Lily, who suddenly became anxious, told her not to do that- she said she would let her touch her later in the evening- but Seo-joon didn’t answer.
Lily became more anxious, but still, she could never- never- never allow it in Ian’s presence…
And on the way home from training, Seo-joon suddenly said this.
“Did you let me touch you later? Come over to my house in the evening, Lily.”
At that, Lily opened her mouth and stiffened. It was because Ian was next to him and he said that.
“Yes····? It’s evening…? What do you want me to touch…?”
As if curious about Ian, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the two of them alternately.
It wasn’t suspicious at all.
The trust in the two was so strong, and it was because Ian’s character was pure in the first place.
Lily, who was so startled that she opened her mouth wide, hurriedly ran to Seo-joon’s mouth as soon as he opened her mouth to reply.
Then, with cold sweat running down her back, she squeezed her excuses.
“Ah, wow, arrows… Arrows! I taught you to make it the other day…! Ooh, you know the two of us sometimes practice archery…?”
At Lily’s hastily made excuse in a very awkward, very distrustful voice—Ian sighed and clasped her palms together.
“Then, would it be okay if I didn’t take you today…? Seojun hyung and I can go together.”
Staring at Ian’s innocent eyes – Lily couldn’t bear to nod her head. Her conscience was so pricked…
“Lily?”
When he questioned him, Lily clenched her fists so that her palms turned white, and she barely nodded her head.
You’re right…
“Okay, go in carefully. Brother, please go in carefully…!”
“Yes.”
“Goodbye…”
Ian went back to his cabin without the slightest hint of doubt, not even the slightest hint of her fingernails.
As soon as he moved away – and disappeared from sight, Lily, who was shaking, immediately pounded Seo-joon’s chest with her fist and yelled at him.
“Did you turn…? Are you crazy?”
Her wrist was caught right away, and she sighed for a while before finally calming down.
“Let go of this.”
When asked to let go, Seo-joon quickly let go.
I’m about to tell her not to do that again – but Seo-joon shoved her and made her hit the back of a tree.
After all, isn’t it about kneading her udder?
Lily is…! He let out a groan, then shut her mouth in surprise.
No matter how much it was in the middle of the evening, this was the way the villagers were going.
In the middle of it, she was to do something like that.
In the distance, I saw elderly people who had just returned to their homes by riding the rice paddies.
Yeah, I don’t know until it’s completely dark- it was still dangerous. It was absolutely, absolutely, in a position where anyone could find out…!
Lily grabbed the wrist of Seo-Jun, who was violently massaging her own breasts – and muttered as she glared at Seo-Jun with her eyes wide open.
“You… Acquaintances are going to die. Hey, let this go… When you say Joe, Joe, let go of this…, You’re evil…?”
Suddenly, Seo-joon pulls her nipples.
The black eyes of Seo-jun looking down at her were so tyrannical. Also, that hand…
Lily gnawed her teeth, held back her screams, and shed a single tear. It really hurt…
But, on the other hand, I felt the nipples of the pinched part protrude and tremble.
Even in the midst of this, she feels that she herself is miserable.
By that time, Lily, realizing that Seo-joon was properly feverish, shut her mouth.
No matter what she said, Seo-joon didn’t seem to back down.
However, it was impossible to leave it like this.
From far away – I saw old women carrying buckets. It was still a long way, but the direction was clearly this way.
If they found out, it would be the end.
Rumors that the two were doing this would spread in an instant and everyone would know.
Lily, who was in a hurry, shook her head while holding Seo-jun’s wrist pinching her nipple with both hands and looking up with her teary eyes.
“Oh, oppa ah ah… My, I was wrong… Huh···? My, please don’t be here…”
At her pleading words, Seo-jun stopped pinching his nipples and looked around.
Then, wordlessly, she grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her somewhere.
Lily was dragged along with her intimidation – he dragged on as he led.
Then, by the time he realized where he was headed, it was already too late.
Seo-joon refuses to go, but Ting-gi subdues her Lily with her eyes and pushes her to the back of a tree near her cabin.
“Aww…!”
Lily covered her mouth with her hands and held her breath.
The place Seo-joon dragged her to was under a large zelkova tree in the front yard of Ian’s house.
Lily asked me to see her there as well – she shook her head saying she didn’t like it here – but when Seo-joon asked this, he became stunned.
“Just there? Or here. Pick one or the other.”
It was no use even if they flirted with tears on their faces saying they didn’t like them both.
Seo-jun couldn’t help but scream as Lily squeezed her mouth shut with both hands and squeezed her tears.
It wasn’t until the crotch was wet that he stopped pinching and twisting the udder.
That day, Lily was sure Seo-joon didn’t like her.
How could someone you like cry and refuse to ask…?
When I think of that time, my teeth are grinding even now… Pup···. Bad boy…
However, if you think about it again, Seo-joon’s actions were no different from the mischievous pranks that young boys play on girls they like.
Yes, Seojun knows that too.
That there is no place for himself in her heart.
She knows that she only has Ian…
That’s why she must be tormenting her so terribly-.
Even though he didn’t like it – even when he cried out and told him to die – there was a reason why Seo-joon wouldn’t stop being mean.
In fact, looking at his actions, Seo-joon cared about Lily in everything.
Starting from showing up whenever she was in danger, holding her arm when she almost tripped over a sprain, or throwing clothes to shelter her from the rain when it rained, it was always Seo-jun.
Ian was so slow-witted that he was lucky even in such a situation, ahaha, and just laughed.
It was Lily who was embarrassed again.
Even though she was so grateful, it was somehow awkward—but it was difficult to accept the favor casually.
She wasn’t such a shameless person.
A favor that cannot be paid in return, isn’t it affection?
Even though she knew she couldn’t reciprocate – it was hard to accept.
So he asked me not to do that-, when I asked him if it would be better if he just turned off his attention- Seo-joon asked back.
Can you hide your love for Ian? Can you fold it?
At that, Lily had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
“Give me a drink, too.”
Seo-joon snatched the bottle from Lily’s hand and gulped down.
Then, stealing the liquor flowing down his teeth with the back of his hand, he let out a loud, cool sound.
Lily laughed and took her bottle away from him.
“I’ll take another bite too…!” Hiccup-
Then, I felt Seo-joon’s gaze looking at me as if he was cute.
Lily felt that her face was hot for no reason, but she attributed it to drunkenness. She quickly gulped down a mouthful.
“Kuuuuu!”
Her throat was very hot, and she could feel the heat rising up in her face.
Hiccup-!
But the hiccups didn’t stop.
Seo-joon chuckled every time she hiccupped and shook her shoulders.
Looking down at the panoramic view of the town- the two talked about this and that.
Maybe it’s because of Lily’s drunkenness, or because of Seo-jun’s lithe low-pitched voice – her tension is relieved, and even her pointless jokes are gone haha! She burst out laughing.
The two of them talked about memories of playing together as children, but occasionally stopped talking when the story of Ian came up.
There was no one to say first.
Lily felt uncomfortable talking about Seo-jun and him, and Seo-jun seemed to feel the same way.
The hiccups had stopped before I knew it.
Then, all of a sudden, something like this came out.
“But why do you like Ian Lee so much…? It’s a bit strange just looking at it. A cute and pretty boy like you. What’s so good about him-“
It was a subdued comment, but I couldn’t deny it when Seo-joon said it.
Anyone would admit that Ian was no better than Seojun.
Lily, looking for something to answer her, decided that it would be better for her to be honest than to be evasive.
“I don’t know either…”
Maybe- Hearing that, I thought that Seo-joon might give up on himself.
“Just···. At first, we were childhood friends who would bathe together, argue and fight together…”
Watching her wheat grain shake her head to and fro-, Lily continued her words calmly.
“I fell in love with you… I don’t know why. Just one day- Looking at Ian’s clear smile made my heart race. When I brushed Ian’s hand, her face grew hot, and when she didn’t know how fast I was and gave me a hug, I had nothing to envy in the world…”
Lily hushed her sweet breath and she let it out quietly, ending her words.
“That’s all… I just came to like it that way. As if permeating… Even I did not know···.”
Seo-joon didn’t ask what it was- he didn’t ask.
That’s just the way- she just tilted her bottle while shaking her head.
Feeling ashamed for some reason, Lily snatched another bottle from Seo-jun.
Even though she already knew her face was hot, she took a big gulp.
“Oh ah ah ah.
Seojun giggled at the sound of her hot throat screaming.
She laughed too. Somehow, a meaningless laugh broke out.
The two of them laughed nonstop as they watched the early morning sunset dye the wheat fields red for no good reason.
Then, when the laughter stopped, the two were staring at each other with tears on their faces.
Oh···!
When Lily, who came to her senses belatedly, avoided her gaze, Seo-joon cleared his throat.
There was silence for a while.
