Chapter 196 – A Tryst That Is Not a Tryst
#196.
The day of the date. Gaon left the guild wearing the clothes Chorin had chosen for her.
‘It was a bit unexpected.’
Honestly, Gaon thought that in the worst case, he would stop Chorin from going out on a date and fight Jaehee.
However, contrary to expectations, he didn’t seem to care much, and rather actively stepped forward to help with the date.
I wondered if it was because of friendship, but it seemed to have a slightly different intention behind it.
I don’t know what kind of plan she draws is hidden in the big picture, but I’m glad this won’t cause serious problems between the two.
Arriving at the capital through the gate, Gaon headed straight for the mage tower.
The height is lower than the other towers, but the wide central building is surrounded by seven towers that are so huge that you have to tilt your head all the way to see the top.
Among them, as I entered the tower dyed in luxurious gray, I saw Jaehee in a fresh yellow dress in a resting area on one side.
She watched her entrance, smiled when her eyes met, and approached with light steps, as if stepping on a cloud.
“Gaon-san, you came quickly.”
“Jae-hee was really early. The clothes fit well.”
“Thank you. Gaon is also cool.”
Complimenting each other, they found people whispering around them and rushed out.
“Then where shall we go?”
“Let’s go to Mirnille Park! Now is the time when the flowers bloom beautifully.”
“Certainly, now is the right time. Let’s go.”
The two walked side by side.
Every time you turn your head, our eyes meet. Jaehee’s beautiful eyes filled his face and shone with anticipation.
The affection that is transmitted so blatantly that one wonders why he hadn’t noticed until now makes him fall into deep thought.
‘If I became a lover with Jaehee, the benefits would be great.’
Apart from Chorin, neither Hayeon nor Priscilla had any objections to accepting Jaehee, so he has nothing to lose.
But she didn’t want to judge Jaehee’s usefulness while simply weighing her gains and losses. Her feelings were real and pure.
There’s no way I can do anything to trample on this.
So we had to seriously spend time together and make a decision slowly.
Gaon glanced down at Jaehee, who was uncomfortably fidgeting, and grabbed her hand as it was shaking right next to him.
“Oh! Go, Mr. Gaon?”
“I think this will be fine.”
“Yeah, that’s right. There’s nothing like holding hands on a date. Ahaha!”
Jaehee let out a bright laugh.
She tries not to show off somehow, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth openly reveal her true intentions.
A date with Jaehee felt different from other lovers.
I can’t say which one is better, but the time with Jaehee created a cute and fresh atmosphere of an early couple.
The way she walked with her head bowed down to hide her flushed face was quite cute.
After a while, Gaon glanced at her and looked at her hand.
She was so nervous that even though it had been less than 5 minutes since she had held her hand, Jaehee’s hand was completely wet with sweat.
The person himself seemed to be concerned about that too, so he gave strength to the way he was trying to sneak out his hand, which he was holding, so that he couldn’t get out.
Then he raises his head again.
“Are you okay. Jaehee’s hand. It’s warm.”
“Ah… Ah yes. Yes thank you. … Gaon’s hands are big, so it feels good.”
It was nice to see her shy smile.
Sensing that her awkward atmosphere had disappeared, Gaon hurried to her park while chatting with her.
Mirnieu Park is the largest park in the capital, and hundreds of flowers bloom and fall repeatedly according to the season.
The first thing that greeted them at the entrance was bright yellow forsythia flowers.
“And… You are pretty. This is the first time I have seen so many flowers.”
“It is also the first time I have been leisurely looking at flowers. It smells good.”
The warm and refreshing fragrance had the effect of lowering one’s vigilance and making one’s mind soft.
Forgetting the passage of time and just looking at the forsythia flowers in silence, they turned their heads to face each other without saying anything first, exchanged smiles, and moved on to a deeper place.
The park was very large, worthy of its reputation, and there were so many places to see. The endlessly spread flowers of various colors give an illusion as if they were in a fairy tale.
We didn’t have much conversation, but it was a good enough time just holding hands like this and walking on the flower path.
While walking like that, the two arrived at the fountain.
“Gaon-san, shall we sit down on a bench and rest for a while?”
“I see. It would be perfect for a quick break and then go for lunch.”
“Yes, sit here!”
The two sat side by side on a bench facing the fountain.
Standing tall in the center of the fountain, the stone statue of the first emperor of the Pentra Empire was glaring at Gaon with a majestic attitude.
‘I heard he was called the warrior of light?’
In the world they lived in, Eldrian Pentra, who played an active role as an apostle of the god of light, could not handle the Dimension Eaters and crossed over to Union to build an empire by uniting humans.
It is said that the holy sword he used at the time is waiting for the next hero in the depths of the empire.
Jaehee called him as he looked up at the stone statue in a daze and searched for memories of his previous life.
“Gaon, what are you thinking?”
“Oh, sorry. I was thinking about the first emperor of the Pentra Empire.”
“Is it so? He’s definitely a great person. But I have one request more than that, can I tell you?
“Of course. What is your request?”
“That…”
Jaehee, who hesitated for no reason, brushing her hair and munching her mouth, making eye contact with her, seemed to have made up her mind.
“Would you like to lie on my lap?”
“Yes?”
“When you see lovers, a man lies on a woman’s lap in a place like this. I want to practice it beforehand. Can’t we?”
Jaehee’s eyes were so desperate that they shook anxiously.
The strength in both hands was tight, and the pale tired look was very tense. Gaon nodded her head, noticing that she had a lot of courage in her own way.
“Hey, no problem. Your knee hurts, are you okay?”
“Are you okay! Now, lie down here.”
“Excuse me.”
The yellow dress was long enough to cover her hips. The soft thighs exposed underneath seduced him.
“Eutcha!”
He turned her body around and carefully placed her head on top of her, placing Jaehee’s face directly above her.
Whether the love potion has such a great effect, even from this angle, she shows off her dazzling beauty without the slightest humiliation.
In particular, the protruding chest in the middle caught his attention.
‘Am I a little shorter than Priscilla?’
It couldn’t be compared to Chorin’s big breasts, and it was smaller than the current Priscilla. If it was before pregnancy, it would probably be almost the same.
Unknowingly, Gaon, who had been evaluating his breast size, flinched at the persistent gaze from above and turned his eyes away.
Jaehee’s face turned red.
“Gaon is pervert…”
“… Sorry.”
Gaon nodded his head and apologized while lying down. Even so, it was too much to stare at his chest openly.
Fortunately, Jaehee’s liking did not plummet with this action.
She smiled brightly and reached out her hand to straighten Gaon’s disheveled bangs.
“Since you’re Gaon, I’ll take special care of you. You should never do that to anyone else. Got it?”
“Of course. You will never get her lap pillow from another woman in the first place.”
“That’s all right.”
Jaehee let out a small sigh as if relieved and began to gently caress Gaon’s head.
Her eyes were about to close at the gentle touch, but she fought back and endured it.
“Pu-huh! You can sleep if you are sleepy.”
“No. Isn’t it lunch time soon? It’s okay.”
“Then will this just happen? It seems like you’ve had enough rest.”
“Okay. Let’s go get a meal.”
“Yes, there is a pasta restaurant I know well. Don’t you hate it?”
“Food doesn’t really matter. Don’t worry, I like pasta too.”
“Thank god. Then just follow me.”
When Gaon looked up at her, she showed a moment of regret, then stood up bravely, took her hand, and led her to the restaurant.
After a while, she arrived at a pasta shop. The interior is also decorated in Italian style, probably run by locals.
As I entered the store, an employee approached me.
“Welcome. Customer. Are you two finished?”
“Yes, there are two of them.”
“I will guide you.”
After checking, the waiter escorted the two to a window seat.
After simply placing the order, the waitress lowered her head and walked away.
“Is the atmosphere nice here? This is a place I use occasionally. It tastes great too.”
“Definitely the interior is luxurious. I like the music too.”
Inside the store, a quiet yet sticky feeling of jazz was flowing. Jaehee put her chin on her chin and sang a small hum.
And Gaon looked at her and waited for her food to arrive.
Through the morning date, he got to know Jae-hee a little deeper.
The shy girl-like side hidden behind the always bright and playful appearance transformed Jae-hee’s image in him.
The change gives a feeling of excitement that is enough to cover the slightest unfamiliarity and cover it all.
‘Let’s wait and see.’
There are too many unseen parts to make any judgments. It takes a long time to understand even the smallest piece of a person.
As I savored the atmosphere of the store and waited, the food came out quickly.
“It will be delicious, right? Come on, eat!”
“Yes, then let’s taste it first.”
Gaon rolled the noodles around with a fork and put them in his mouth.
It’s a little annoying, but after tasting the pasta, it was worth it. She nodded her head in satisfaction, and Jaehee grinned, followed by a fork.
While continuing to eat like that, Jaehee called him.
“Gaon-san, over there. Uh, this…”
“That… ?”
“Ha, I want to try it once. It would be good if you practiced this too. Can’t you?”
“No. It’s okay. Then I will eat it with thanks.”
Gaon slightly stood up and ate the pasta that Jaehee held out.
This isn’t too much of a problem since it happens almost every day anyway.
Gaon, who chewed the pasta thoroughly and passed it down his throat, returned to his original position, felt a coy gaze, and this time rolled up the pasta and held it out to Jaehee.
“Jae-hee eats too. Don’t you know?”
“Thank you.”
Jaehee, who had a full smile on her face, stood up and carefully took it and ate it, then covered her mouth with her hand and mumbled.
After that, I went back and forth a few times to finish the pasta and go outside.
