## Chapter 216 – A Week
After washing off the sweat from working up a sweat since morning, Chae-yun and I stood side by side in the kitchen.
We’ve been ordering delivery all the time, so we decided to make breakfast ourselves for the first time in a while…
“Hey, even so, it’s uncomfortable when you stick so close while I’m using a knife.”
“…Hehehe…♡ I’ve always been hugging you like this… I just feel extra happy today.”
“Are you even listening to me?”
I stood there with a kitchen knife to chop vegetables, and Chae-yun came up from behind and hugged me tightly.
Is it the effect of the complete merging of human Chae-yun’s personality and the flower petal’s personality?
Ever since we finished our business this morning, she hasn’t tried to leave my side.
She even came into the shower with me, clung to me while I was resting after showering,
and even clings to me while I’m making breakfast. Even newlyweds wouldn’t do this.
“…You used to say that someone like me could never love you, but your words and actions are different, aren’t they?”
“…’Used to,’ you say. But I’m glad that the first thing I saw when I was born from the flower petal that day was Oppa.
Thanks to Oppa, I’ve experienced pleasure and love that I could never have experienced as a human♡”
It’s probably meaningless to divide between ‘human Chae-yun’ and ‘flower petal Chae-yun’ now. Because they’re the same.
Chae-yun is Chae-yun, and now the foundation of this woman named Lee Chae-yun has been twisted and she loves me.
The feeling of conquest of completely dropping something I could never have obtained into my hands.
I can’t see the smile on my face as I hug Chae-yun from behind and bury her face in my back,
I put down the knife and gently stroke Chae-yun’s hands that are wrapped around my waist.
“Lee Chae-yun, come here.”
“…Yes, Master…♡”
Then, I slowly turn my head and look down at Chae-yun, and she looks up at me with unfocused eyes.
“…Eung… Chuup…♡”
I caress her chin and share a short, deep kiss where our tongues intertwine,
Smiling, I comb her long brown hair with my fingers and brush it behind her ear, saying.
“It’ll be just a little longer, so sit in the kitchen and wait. Got it?”
“…I understand, my darling…♡”
The scene of the two of us right now is the morning scenery of a newlywed couple’s home.
Enjoying the peace that has changed from the root like Chae-yun, preparing breakfast,
My lovely partner also hummed and trotted out of the kitchen.
…..
…..
…..
“…Haa… I always feel this, but Oppa is really good at cooking. Did you learn it?”
“I learned it. But I didn’t really go to a academy or anything… I learned this and that from my mother.
When I was a student, when both my mother and father were late for work, I made dinner for my younger sibling.”
“Oh? Is your younger sibling good at cooking too?”
“No, she’s terrible. I practiced steadily and she just got what I made.”
After finishing breakfast, I sit at the table and share old stories with Chae-yun.
It’s an ordinary time that’s no different from usual, but I feel like the fatigue that was built up is being relieved.
I can feel the muscles that were tense for no reason relaxing and the drowsiness that wasn’t fully awake is disappearing.
But as my physical condition returns, the week I have left comes to mind,
I have many thoughts in many ways. The creator ‘Kin’ and Iria’s empty body remaining there…
The creator who aims to use Iria’s body to put all the humans in the world under his feet.
In the end, I will clash with the creator whose goal is such a childish world domination.
And that will probably be the end of this tiresome work.
“…Oppa, Oppa? Are you listening?”
“Ah, uh. What were we talking about?”
I make eye contact with Chae-yun, who waves her hand in front of my dazed eyes because I was lost in thought for a while.
I give Chae-yun, who is looking at me with worried eyes, an awkward smile and drink water.
Chae-yun, who bites her lip tightly and takes a deep breath through her nose, also puts down the spoon she was holding and continues the conversation.
“…I heard that I-ran unni is pregnant?”
“…..Who did you hear it from?”
“I-ran unni called to brag about it?”
Ah, I can picture I-ran noona calling Chae-yun just to brag about that.
Of course, it’s something to be congratulated on, and I think noona was happy too, so I was secretly happy too…
“Ah, I’m jealous. I thought I would be the first.”
The reason why I wanted to keep it a secret from Chae-yun, Seo-hee, Soo-ah, and Yu-ri is this.
Seo-hee’s appearance, who even showed tears saying that they would become partners and be chosen…
Or Chae-yun, who is now openly jealous, narrowing her eyes and looking at me and smiling…
If the flower petals knew this fact, I wanted to keep it a secret because I felt like I would be caught and only have my semen sucked out,
I was happy with noona, who was stroking her belly and rejoicing, and forgot to keep my mouth shut.
“…Do you want to have one too? You can have it anytime if you want.”
I carefully asked Chae-yun to avoid it for no reason, to change the subject.
Unlike the creator, they are not human children, but bodies that can also hold seeds.
But as bodies specialized for breeding, it will be easy for them to carry new life in their bodies.
In other words, if Chae-yun makes up her mind, she can have a child right now…
“Um… Of course I want to have one… But not now.”
Unlike what I thought, a completely different answer popped out.
I thought she would nod her head right away and run at me…
Rather, she smiled calmly, took my hand on the table and held it tightly, continuing to speak.
“It’s a little disappointing that unni took the first place, but it’s something to celebrate. Jealousy is a lie.
As Oppa said, I want to have a child with you and live happily like a human couple. But…”
“…Uh, wait… You…”
Chae-yun’s pupils, who closed her eyes gently for a moment and opened them, were not red,
It had a beautiful silver color that I seemed to have seen somewhere.
“…It’s not now. I’ll receive it from Oppa when we’re all together, then.
I believe in Oppa, my, ‘our’ darling. Please save me.”
Contradictory words that she’s asking to be saved while she’s right in front of me.
But I easily realized what those words meant.
“…Are you Chae-yun now? Or ‘Iria’?”
“…Hehe, I’m Iria, Lee Chae-yun, Seo-hee unni, Soo-ah unni, Yu-ri unni,
I’m connected to everyone. Maybe everyone else knows because they met ‘Iria’s soul’.
We were originally one and divided beings, we are all ‘Iria’.”
The flower that bloomed through Iria’s body, Chae-yun and everyone who were born in modern times through the flower petals.
Everyone I met is Iria who was reborn. But Iria’s remaining soul is here,
Their main bodies are asleep in the research association’s headquarters hidden somewhere now.
“…Wait a little longer. I’ll pick you up soon.”
“Hehe…♡ Yes, I’ll be waiting. My Master♡”
It’s the same atmosphere as Iria, but the one in front of me is definitely Chae-yun.
One being, one woman, but Iria, who was divided into Chae-yun, Seo-hee, Soo-ah, Yu-ri, and flower petals.
“…Then I have to think about what to explain to my parents after saving you.”
“That’s right, Oppa is lightly dating more than five people now?
Your father, who was happy that Oppa had a girlfriend, would be surprised and fall over.”
“Hahaha… But when I think about it, several women divided from Iria,
They all have different personalities, they look different… This feels like I’m two-timing.”
“It’s funny that Oppa is saying that now.”
I tried to joke to change the serious atmosphere, but Chae-yun took it seriously.
I feel like I’ve self-destructed. I feel like the remaining conscience is pricking me.
I lowered my head without saying a word and sipped the water again, and Chae-yun finally started to smile.
“…Shall we clean up now?”
“Yes!”
Smiling after her, I put down the glass and picked up the empty plates,
Chae-yun also smiled brightly and picked up the remaining dishes and started following me.
………..
……….
……….
“Then I’ll go now. I have to go meet ‘my parents’ for the first time in a while.”
“Huh? So suddenly?”
I ate breakfast with Chae-yun and went out on a date for a while, playing without a care in the world,
Before I knew it, the sun had set and it was time to eat dinner.
So I was looking for a restaurant to go into and eat roughly, but Chae-yun suddenly said she was leaving.
“Yes, I want to be with Oppa a little longer, but… It’s slowly becoming ‘the next turn’.”
“…’The next turn’?”
Saying words that I couldn’t understand, she smiled and stood on tiptoe,
She gave me a light kiss on the cheek and called out to Chae-yun, who was running away from me, but…
“Hey, wait a minute, are you really going like this? Then wait, I’ll walk you home.”
“No, it’s okay. I can go alone, and I told ‘the next turn’ to come here.”
Again, ‘the next turn.’ What is the next turn that makes her like that? Without eating,
Chae-yun, who I thought would slowly take my hand and go into a motel again, is so obedient…
…Wait a minute… ‘The next turn?’ Chae-yun definitely said she decided the order with some bet yesterday…
“Then I’ll go in now. Hehe…♡ I love you.”
Chae-yun, who was looking at me with a slightly faster and lighter step backwards, hid among the crowd,
I suddenly reached out to Chae-yun in the face of what was happening, but…
“…Uh.”
Someone grabbed my hand from behind. Naturally, my gaze turned back, and there was…
“…It’s been a while…!”
“…It’s only been a day. Seo-hee-ssi?”
There was Seo-hee, who was bowing her head and stuttering to hide her flushed cheeks.
She had the flower I decorated for her yesterday in her hair, and a slight silence and the sweet smell of flowers wafted.
