Chapter 47 – Broken Heart (2)
From ancient times, the act of washing was generally accepted as a pious thing.
Especially in a religious sense.
Is it because the aspect of making oneself clean after being dirty is highlighted?
It was a good story for Arya.
Even so, her filthy body, soaked in filth and dirt, cannot be cleaned no matter how much you wash it.
Didn’t she even say that before?
A rag is a rag even if you wash it.
This body is dirty, disgusting, and ugly.
She allowed herself to all kinds of men.
I had to live with this dirty body for the rest of my life.
That’s exactly what she had to do.
Ain.
It’s all thanks to you.
The reason I didn’t regard this body as dirty.
Because I am dyed in your color every day.
Because you covered it.
You don’t know how grateful I am for that.
Ain, you are my milestone, my support, and my one and only…
“Sister, aren’t you going?”
Azazel’s words behind her were like a net.
Fantasy is a net that is forcibly pulled up from the sea.
Arya suddenly regained her senses and turned the doorknob in her bathroom.
Clap.
The bathroom was full of misty steam.
It is a moderately warm temperature, so it seems that the hardened body is relaxed.
“It is also below expectations.”
Azazel didn’t seem to like the scenery very much.
Hagiya, he is a person whose prettiness flows from the clothes he wears.
You may not like the low-level facilities.
“I still have to wash.”
“I didn’t say I didn’t wash.”
They both washed properly.
Occasionally Azazel glanced at her and sent her gaze to Arya, most often to her chest or groin.
Arya’s face lit up at the sight of her blatant gaze.
‘What kind of intention do you have?’
The doubt was quickly resolved.
“I’m glad there are no scars left.”
She must have been checking Arya’s body for her stab wounds.
Arya wanted to break her own head stained by her lewd thinking.
Fortunately, she didn’t have to worry about her blushing being noticed thanks to her steam.
“Healing is my specialty. It has been completely cured.”
“If the scars were left, my heart would have been heavy, sister.”
Sister.
It was an awkward name to hear.
“Thank you for your concern.”
Arya looked at Azazel and thanked her.
As a result, she could see Azazel’s slim body unfiltered.
Her breasts were on the small side, but her hips and waist were narrow.
Past her erector spinae, you can see her chunky hips.
Her hips, as immaculate as her peaches, are beautifully angled.
Did you call that kind of body slender?
It was the first time she had seen her female body other than her own, so Arya felt strangely shy.
Azazel replied calmly, whether or not he knew Aria’s feelings.
“Thank you, oh, are you going to go into her bath?”
“… If Azazel wants to use it, I will yield.”
The inn’s bath was small.
The only thing that could be called a bath was a wooden barrel filled with heated water.
Looking at it objectively, it’s crude and pitiful.
Arya, it doesn’t matter, but wouldn’t Azazel find a bathtub like that uncomfortable?
As he was showing concern, Azazel made an offer.
“Let’s go in together, sister.”
Are you talking about that small space?
Arya put up with her half-door, which had risen to the top of her neck.
Because Azazel’s expression was very rigid.
Arya knew very well what kind of emotion that expression was embracing.
When she volunteered at an orphanage, children who had lost their parents would sometimes build them.
Azazel is afraid of being rejected.
It was a petty thing.
“… Like.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Arya said that even if she made herself a little uncomfortable, she wanted her heart to be at ease.
In the yard where she also takes a bath, what could be wrong with not entering her bath together?
“Before that, check the temperature first.”
Azazel scratched her head.
“Temperature is not important.”
Arya measured the temperature of the water with her hand.
She was moderately warm.
“This should be fine.”
“Yes? If you get lukewarm, tell me. I am used to controlling the temperature of the water.”
Arya’s eyes sparkled.
“Is that possible?”
Perhaps not expecting such an enthusiastic reaction, Azazel nodded her head moderately.
“Oh, well, of course not. Am I a wizard after all?”
Hit.
Azazel was a wizard.
She was the best news for Arya.
Doesn’t that mean you can always use warm water if you wash with Azazel?
“Azazel, let’s keep washing together.”
She pursed her lips disapprovingly with her displeased face.
“… I didn’t say it because I wanted to see her sister’s understanding and prudent side. And call me Azazel, not Azazel.”
“… Oh, can I call you Azazel?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
The two went into the barrel.
Shaaaaa
Even though it was used to draw water to some extent, the water naturally overflowed from the wooden barrel when the two women entered.
The space was also cramped.
Somehow, I squeezed my body in, and there was barely enough space for the two girls to fit in.
“It’s uncomfortable, your posture.”
The way Arya pulled her knees and rounded her body was quite uncomfortable.
It’s because her voluptuous breasts are pressed against her knees.
Indeed, Azazel was free from any discomfort from her breasts, and enjoyed her somewhat bleak mood.
“… It is narrow.”
Arya laughed awkwardly.
“Also, shall I go?”
“My sister, stay still.”
Azazel murmured.
Then, the shape of the wooden barrel was twisted little by little, and the width was two or three times larger than before.
“Wow, what is it?”
“Expanded, with magic.”
It was a magical magical world.
The wooden barrel was more relaxed than before, but the water level was lowered, perhaps because the area was wider.
The water that had been submerged up to her chest now barely reached her navel.
“There is not enough water.”
“I’ll fill it in.”
As Azazel snapped her fingers, a stream of warm water rose from the air around her.
Arya blinked her eyes and witnessed the strange phenomenon.
Sorcerers are very convenient.
Are you Doraemon?
By the way.
I wonder if it would have been better to expand the barrel first.
Azazel was tired too, so the accident wasn’t going well, Aria thought.
“… Sister, aren’t you thinking of something rude?”
Aria laughed briskly at Azazel’s question.
“I think wizards are very convenient.”
“It is convenient.”
Challang challang.
In no time, the water filled the bathtub.
As the space of the bathtub was expanded, moving the body became more relaxed.
Azazel yawned and stretched her.
“In the end, I couldn’t confess to Einstein.”
“Because the bad news overlapped.”
Who would have known that Einstein would be attacked by a gangster?
It was an incident neither Arya nor Azazel could recall.
Chambang Chambang.
The sound of water rang out.
“Your sister is really too much. If you think about her, she confesses and is angry, and she doesn’t mean to close her heart.”
“… Oh, don’t think in the wrong way.”
“Is that even funny? If I do well with Einstein, isn’t Aria unnie going to be in trouble?”
“Trouble?”
“Let me mix her body with Astein, can you stand it?”
Ahin, with Azazel?
That she whispers her love to Azazel the way he did to me?
Arya stiffened her body.
“I think that would be difficult.”
“Dummy. What if you react so seriously to something you said as a joke?”
Azazel’s index finger squeezed Arya’s forehead.
“Now, was that a joke?”
“I don’t think Einstein would have thought of that anyway.”
“Mo, I don’t know. Azazel is a charming person.”
“Her sister doesn’t seem to be able to objectify her appearance.”
“Yes?”
“I’m talking to myself, I’m talking to myself.”
Azazel chuckled and turned her head.
Arya didn’t know what to say, so she was silent.
It was static.
“You know, I will confess tomorrow morning.”
“Yes?”
“Sister, do you still want my confession to go well?”
It was a cruel question, a harsh question.
It’s cheap to be criticized for being a vicious bitch.
Nevertheless, Arya responded kindly.
“Yes.”
Ha, really stupid.
It’s a year old.
It’s a messy, ugly relationship.
What’s this.
I’m the only one who seems like a bad bitch.
“Stupid sister.”
“Does Azazel look foolish?”
“Yeah, it’s so stupid.”
“Lol.”
Don’t be so nervous, sister.
It’s a confession that will fail.
Azazel saw water dripping from her fingertips.
Inside the drops of water was Aria, who smiled.
My heart ached.
When people are stupidly nice
* * *
The sun has risen.
She got out of the sleeping Arya, tidied up her body, and left her room.
Einstein moved her steps cautiously to her room.
She was in the next room, so it didn’t take too long to get there.
I saw a closed door.
He grabbed her trembling arm with the other arm.
I will confess what I said to Arya.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid.
Emotions are rejected.
It’s to hear that the person you like tells you that he can’t like you.
Possibility?
None.
Not a word.
Einstein already likes arias.
She had no room for herself to squeeze in.
It hurts to remember that fact.
Her heart is pounding
Still, nothing progresses like this.
It is bound by this emotion, and it is only broken while being restrained.
We have to move on.
Don’t stay
Organizing my thoughts, I knocked with the back of my hand.
Smart.
Click.
The locked door opened.
I grabbed the doorknob and turned it to enter the room.
Inside is a man with black hair.
It’s astein
The black irises turned towards me.
“You woke up early.”
His attire was neat.
He is always a hardworking and sincere person.
“Yeah, I have something to tell you.”
Pretend to be calm
Press the trembling voice
I don’t know how it will look to him.
“Yes?”
It was a nuance to listen.
I looked at his face.
I was about to confess right away.
But it seldom fell off his lips.
I wonder if this is why I am speechless.
After being silent for a while, he asked.
“What are you talking about?”
I have only three words to say.
I love you.
That’s all, but I can’t say it.
Even though I opened my mouth, only a mumble lingered in my mouth like an echo.
It shouldn’t be like this.
Are you trying to run away from here?
“Astein.”
“Yes.”
“… I am you.”
It’s all here.
All you have to do is spit out one word.
I say I love you.
With that word, even this painful time passes.
Spit it out
Spit it out
Don’t dodge
Purr lips tremble
My eyes tremble.
My body trembles.
What can I do?
It doesn’t fall into your mouth.
Feelings.
The language.
It seems to have magnetism.
I can’t express it.
You can’t spit it out.
It sticks to your mouth and doesn’t fall off.
Sick of it
Also heartbreaking.
To see him embrace another woman.
Can’t I love you
Is that that bad?
It’s natural for people to love people.
I was furious.
I was crying.
I know it’s not a good thing to say it out of anger.
But without that kind of emotional help, I don’t think I’ll be able to spit it out for the rest of my life.
I don’t think I can ever be honest with myself.
I finally got those hard words out of my mouth.
“I love you.”
Finished.
It was over.
End of confession.
It got quiet
It became quiet.
It got quiet
Is this how it feels when the world is bleached?
It’s like a white night phenomenon.
I wish time would stop forever.
I looked up at him with a tired face.
He raised his eyebrows and made a frown.
It was a troubled, yet embarrassing expression.
Know.
What are you talking about
How will you react
“Azazel.”
You can anticipate what will happen next.
Would be a refusal
Would be a refusal
“Sorry.”
Know.
To the extent that such words would come out.
As far as apples go.
“I like Aria.”
Still, my chest is stuffy.
Your eyes are turning red
Your heart is suffering.
Creaking heart.
I started talking gibberish.
“I know, I knew it would come out like that. I expected it, me too.”
“…”
“Your second one is fine. It’s okay even if it’s not perfect love. You just need to go and see me from time to time.”
“I can’t.”
Again, the cold rejection returned.
It feels like my heart is splitting into pieces.
I expected it, but it hurts so much.
“Why? Not even the second time? Aha, is there anyone else besides Aria? Are you okay. Because I am broad-minded. The third one is fine too.”
Einstein pretended to be angry.
“Azazel.”
“Why.”
Gritted it
Tears flowed again.
It hit the floor on the jawline.
The composure was easily broken like a glass.
How could you not care?
“… Can’t I?”
Einstein nodded heavily.
“That’s too much, really.”
I loved you first.
I saw it first
I was first
“Sorry.”
You apologized
A bad person.
You also.
Aria’s sister too.
You are a bad person.
But worst of all.
I was not being honest.
Knowing that, I couldn’t blame him.
I wish I had realized this feeling earlier.
If so, I would have received your whole love.
It was a stupid assumption.
If it was like this, if it was like that, would it be good?
Isn’t the original opportunity only once?
You can’t turn back time can you?
“Why are you apologizing? It looks like you did something bad. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Sorry.”
“You idiot, stop it. You look like you’re going to cry.”
Not the same thing.
I was already crying profusely.
Jureukjureuk, tears flowed down his cheeks.
My eyes were sore from the tears.
So I blinked.
“I’m sorry. I really liked it, but I never thought there would be an owner.”
“Sorry.”
“Can I just say I’m sorry? Say something else.”
He shut up.
Stubborn.
“Hey, Einstein. Can you hug me just once?”
Ugly
Nasty.
Dirty.
To be petty
Cowardly.
I know.
It’s okay to be comforted.
“Yes.”
His arms hug me
It’s fucking warm.
A strong chest becomes a will.
You must be thrilled
Why should I just eat?
Love fades
It was a girl’s unrequited love.
