Rustle.
The wind blew, and a dry leaf rustled through the air. Walter furrowed his brows slightly, shaking his head. Hyemi, who had been watching the brown leaves falling and observing his lips, opened her mouth in a slightly smaller voice.
“Walter.”
“Yes.”
“I couldn’t tell Cedric.”
Hesitating for a moment, Hyemi added as if muttering to herself.
“…..Honestly, I’m scared of fighting.”
Although she had just confidently spoken moments ago, the truth was that she was afraid. War. Even if she was born in a divided country, experiencing it for real was something she had never imagined.
“Even though it’s frightening… Even though I’m terrified, I feel like I have to move forward.”
“Is it because of Ayla that you’ve decided to fight against Kaplan?”
“….Do you think it’s reckless?”
“I think it’s like you.”
Hyemi raised her head towards Walter.
“No. You’re mistaken. I don’t know how I was before I lost my memory, but in reality, I’m actually a huge coward.”
“…..When you were five years old, the first time you came to the castle, you were very scared. For a week, you hid in Father’s legs and peeked at me.”
“Tch. How is that related to this?”
Hyemi burst into laughter with her weak lips.
“It’s because in my eyes, you haven’t changed before or after losing your memory.”
“…”
Beside her, Walter picked up a small pebble again, lightly tossing it over the calm water. This time, it skipped five times. Watching this, Hyemi suddenly narrowed her eyes.
“Wow.”
The sun was casting a deep red hue all around. The tranquil water shimmered, reflecting the light. She gazed at the large sun gradually disappearing below the surface, expressing her awe in a soft voice. The sunset was so exquisite. It felt like she understood why Walter wanted to show her the lakeside.
“You were right. If I hadn’t come here, it would have been a big problem…”
Hyemi suddenly stopped speaking.
His trembling lips touched against her cheek, and then withdrew, leaving a sense of regret. As she slowly turned her head, she found Walter’s face bathed in the red glow of the sunset. He bit his lips firmly.
“….Sorry.”
His hoarse voice resonated in his throat.
“Just… consider it a gesture of respect.”
A lie. A perfect lie. Just a while ago, he had sworn to treat her not as a woman but as a Master. Yet, even while hiding nothing, he was so hypocritical. After gulping hard, Walter made a vow to himself.
“I promise not to touch you without permission anymore…”
Her lips sealed Walter’s words. At first glance, it seemed like a simple collision. Walter froze in place.
Heat surged through her body, and Hyemi’s earlobes turned a deep shade of red.
What did I just do?
“Ah… So, sorry. It’s just, I guess I’m crazy because it’s hot.”
It was irrational to feel hot in the middle of winter.
“Everyone will be worried, so let’s quickly return to the castle before it gets dark…”
Hyemi felt a warm sensation on her wrist as she tried to get up. Unknowingly, she gulped.
“…Let me kiss you.”
Walter declared with a low voice. Desire welled up in his brown eyes. It felt like her heart had moved to the arm he held. As the heavy breath touched Hyemi’s lips.
“I don’t want a kiss out of respect…”
When she shook her head, shadows crossed Walter’s eyes. His neck moved silently.
“What… do you mean?”
Hyemi frowned, watching him struggle with a painful expression. Fool. The man in front of her, who made her speak directly to this point, was undoubtedly a fool.
Hyemi blushed and raised her voice as if she were about to cry.
“If a kiss requires permission, it’s better not to do it at all….!”
Her wrist was forcefully pulled, and she found herself buried in him. Walter tilted his head and looked at her. His intense desire was vividly conveyed through trembling hands and deep brown eyes.
“I understand since you’ve given permission.”
“For… forget it, so just go… Heup!”
She tried to push him away, placing her hand against his chest, but it was impossible. Walter captured her lips in a low moan. Walter’s chest swelled up under her touch, and the breath that had been held in his vocal cords was released. The next thing she felt was him beginning to explore the inside of her mouth.
The hot, moist, and slippery tongues intertwined together. Automatically closing her eyes, the rough breaths escaping from Walter’s face lingered in her blurred vision. She surrendered her lips and tongue to Walter, who explored every corner of her mouth, shivering slightly.
Walter sucked on Hyemi’s lower lip. His grip on her waist tightened. Excluding the day she first woke up, this was the first time their bodies collided.
“Haa…”
Hyemi finally exhaled, after holding her breath while accepting Walter’s tongue who continued to delve deeper into her. Walter mixed her saliva with his own persistently, as if he had no intention of letting go of her lips. Their breaths intertwined in harmony.
Despite the cold wind causing her hair to flutter, the heat emanating from their bodies made it feel unusually warm.
Walter’s large hand thoroughly traced her back, reaching her face. Shivering fingers caressed her cheek. The cold, wet sound echoed as Walter’s lips, slightly trembling, brushed against her eyelashes one by one.
Kiss. Kiss.
Walter’s kiss splashed across her entire heated face. The clothes she was wearing felt increasingly hot and cumbersome.
