Chapter 14 – 7. Chloe (3)
Rural village.
The main road leading to the inn.
“…”
“…”
I froze when Bibina suddenly said, ‘Chloe… Do you have something in mind…?’.
It felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer.
Isn’t this exactly what it would feel like if you were caught having an affair?
No, it’s not an affair.
I can’t help but think that the reason why Chloe suddenly became like that was because ‘the fortune-telling’ was right.
Even if that happens, it’s not my fault, but if I really die, I’ll feel more than just uncomfortable for the rest of my life, I’ll feel guilty.
So, for now, stay close to me and continue to take care of me.
I just thought that if I really thought it couldn’t work, I would have to embrace it somehow.
Of course, if you only have the mindset to save people and don’t look like a woman at all, that’s not the case…
… I actually see her as a woman…
… Is this an affair?
No, that’s not what’s important right now.
How did Bibina know how I felt?
And what is more important is how to resolve this cold atmosphere.
If you can’t say anything right now, say ‘Yes! That’s right. It’s no different from declaring, ‘I’m going to have an affair!’
Okay. Pretend nothing is wrong. Indifferently, as if asking what I was talking about…
“What… What are you talking about…?”
“…”
Indifferent chic is a piece of shit.
My saliva was dry, and I stammered.
Why. I’ll at least play the xylophone and say, ‘Your prediction was correct.’
“…”
My instinct told me I should say something more.
But her mouth didn’t fall.
No matter how hard you try, the male lead in a drama about the world you used to live in will say, ‘You have to misunderstand, baby. ‘I’ll explain everything.’ I couldn’t bring myself to say those words out loud.
I was like a dumb person.
“… Sometimes.”
Bibina broke the silence first.
“I was just looking at Chloe blankly… She was so… Caring for me today… ㄸ, also… She seemed to be paying attention to me on a regular basis… So just in case. Yeah…”
“…”
The fact that she was looking at Chloe blankly probably meant that she was wondering what would happen if ‘that fortune-telling’ was real, and that she had all sorts of delusions because of the question, ‘Is that yours?’
So, without even realizing it, she saw Chloe as her woman and treated her well.
Vivi, who saw her up close, suspected my cheating.
“… When I was caught by a gang of thieves… I must have dated a lot of women… I was wondering if I was not enough…”
For Bibina, who knows my past and knows my uncontrollable sexual desire, this is a very possible suspicion.
“It’s not like that…”
“… Well, then… You don’t have any thoughts about Chloe…?”
“…”
I thought about evading the immediate situation by lying.
Chloe is just a carriage driver going on the same road and her sister was mistaken.
Then, I feel uncomfortable… No, even if she knows it’s a lie, she’ll ignore it and say she’ll believe what I’m saying.
Also, even if I suddenly change my words one day, he won’t get angry and will just nod his head.
He looked up at me with an expression full of worry that he might be abandoned, as he did a lot when we had just met again.
I’m wondering if I’m going to run away, so it’s clear just by looking at my arms folded and my hands clasped tightly.
“… So, tell me honestly… If that’s the case… I’ll try… To get along…”
“…”
And that completely goes against what I vowed never to do: ‘Let’s not take advantage of Bibina’s dependence on me and treat her harshly.
“… Would you like to talk for a moment? Not here. In a quiet place.”
In the end, I decided that the only thing I could do was to be honest.
“… Yes.”
Vivina nodded.
We went off the main road and found a place to sit.
…
…
A bench in an alley a little away from the main street.
As I sat next to Bibi, I told her about the white-haired, red-eyed fortune-teller who I had never mentioned because I thought it was absurd.
I tried to spin it somehow, but it seemed like the story couldn’t proceed without mentioning the existence of that bitch.
A month before Bibina became involved in the mutiny, she had said to the woman, ‘You are destined to become a nest of poor birds. If you don’t accept it, all the birds will die.’ It is said that he received a fortune-telling.
On the first day on the carriage, she appeared only to me and said she was a goddess and that Chloe would be my woman.
So without realizing it, I began to care about Chloe, and now I don’t even know what to do.
As a cliché at times like this, I thought I might get struck by lightning if I talked about God carelessly to others, but luckily nothing happened, so I told the whole story.
And the expression on Vivina’s face after hearing the whole story was ‘?’.
“Uhm…”
Bibi, tilting her head while slightly frowning with her mouth out.
I wanted to pinch his cheek because he looked cute, but of course I wasn’t in the mood to do that, so I held back and asked carefully.
“What’s wrong…?”
“… I’m trying to believe it… Did you like Chloe enough to make up a lie like this…? Ha, but… I’m not that stupid… To tell a lie like this…? Note. Ugh…”
“…”
I feel like I’m struggling between trying to somehow trust myself and common sense.
The twinkling blue eyes were both cute and sad.
After thinking about it for a while.
“… Mi, I’ll trust you! Yes…!”
This easy woman who believes in this again.
“And… I think I made a mistake too… I’ll work harder…!”
“… What are you working harder on?”
“… Gi, I won’t faint! That, and… I’ll tailor it more to Perry’s taste…! Yes…!”
“…”
Let’s roughly guess what this means.
Perry couldn’t satisfy his sexual desires with just his own body.
Following a man’s instinct, his eyes went to another woman right next to him.
Since she didn’t have the shame to tell herself that truth, she made up a story that felt like a novel.
I think so.
It’s definitely more realistic than a story about a goddess or fortune-telling.
And even if you make that inference, you don’t get angry
‘Oh, how frustrated I must be to lie like this… I, I need to work harder…!! A more vulgar sex slave…!’
Thanks to Bibina reacting, my heart became heavier.
I’m glad you came to me. What would happen if you were picked up by trash…
Ah, I am that trash. Fuck. Sorry.
“Are you… Not angry…?”
I asked carefully with the thought, ‘I’d rather be slapped on the face to stop me from lying.’
But Bibi wasn’t angry, and she calmly thought about it and answered.
“Oh, Chloe… She’s pretty… She’s brighter than I… So, I understand her heart… And again…”
“… Again?”
“… Yes, if you listen to the people who got married first in the past… In the end, the wife should do well… It seems like the relationship is good… Of course… They became lovers. Since it hasn’t been that long… I want to be alone… Perry, if you want… Yes…!”
“…”
The moment she heard the word ‘jeongsil’, an alarm bell rang in her head.
That’s right.
I forget it sometimes these days, but Bibina is from a noble family.
She is a woman who lived in a community where it was natural for powerful men to take wives other than their cronies.
Are Jeongsil and her concubine on good terms?
Within a few years of taking her first wife, she took her concubine. Because a man is poor, having a wife and two concubines will not satisfy him.
This story is a feast for wandering beasts.
I understand that the concept of ‘wind’ is different from the ‘legs of lamb = bastard’ in the world I used to live in.
And the human heart is truly treacherous, and my conscience, which had been squatting down until just now because of lack of respect, slowly raised its head.
I don’t even get scolded by Bibina.
Embrace Chloe too.
I wonder if I can legally hold flowers in both hands… That kind of thought.
Following that thought, I continued speaking while suppressing the corners of my mouth that were naturally going up as much as possible.
If you tell her right away that you gave permission, you’re really a cheater. That’s…
“Something… I did say something seriously… But in the end, it’s meaningless if Chloe doesn’t want me. Let’s see for now.”
“… No.”
“…?”
When Vivina suddenly said no, I tilted my head.
Bibina paused for a moment and answered my question.
“He’s bright… And has a friendly personality… So I thought he was very private… But I knew for sure earlier.”
In a clear, confident voice that I haven’t heard from Vivina lately.
“Chloe. I like you. Obviously.”
* * *
Late night.
After returning to the inn, I ate with Chloe, who seemed to be doing well, and while killing time, I went to sleep.
As always, I lie down with Vivina next to her.
Normally, she would of course be fiddling with Vivina, but since Chloe is on the bed next to her, she only puts her arm as a pillow and closes her eyes.
In my head, the conversation I had with Vivina earlier.
After taking the medicine and taking a nap, Chloe seemed to be feeling better and talked and ate as usual.
Chloe, who was clinging to her like she always did, and Vivi, who was accepting me as usual, saying she didn’t know anything, suddenly felt like they were slapping each other in the face.
As to why this suddenly happened, Chloe remained silent and asked with a bitter smile, “Is there any more medicine I took earlier?”
And as Vivina mentioned earlier, “Chloe. I like you. For sure.” Until.
Various things sporadically ran through my mind.
… Really?
… Then… It’s good, but…
… If Chloe refuses me even though she really wants to die… I was wondering if I should at least force her into submission sex…
… How should I train Chloe? Ugh…
… Why. They say they’ll make you pregnant too, you little devil.
… Development of Chloe’s asshole tied while using BB or breast milk…
… Ha, you idiot…
I was floundering between my conscience and my sexual desire.
-Sigh.
A sound was heard from the side.
The sound of Chloe waking up.
I soon went into the bathroom.
I was pricking up my ears to see if something was wrong.
But fortunately, that wasn’t the case, and I only heard the sound of urinating before coming out again.
I was just trying to remain calm and blank again.
‘… Why aren’t you lying down?’
I couldn’t hear the sound of me going back to bed and lying down.
The moment I open my eyes because I want to know something because I can’t hear even though I wait.
-Jeobbuk.
Chloe taking a step.
Instead of coming to his bed, he came towards us.
-Sigh.
And then he lay down next to me.
At first, they were slightly apart, but they gradually got closer, and soon they were almost glued together.
“… Huh… Huh…”
I thought as I listened to Chloe’s strangely rough breathing.
Wow, is this the kingdom’s greatest genius of all time?
My girlfriend is amazing.
