“Sera.”

“……”

“Seraa.”

“……”

“Seraaaa!”

“Yes?!”

It was only after Rosé and Ferre called her name several times that Sera finally snapped out of her daze.

With a start, she lifted her head and saw the twins in front of her, their cheeks puffed up as if they were about to burst.

They looked like squirrels with their cheeks stuffed with acorns. Sera couldn’t help but chuckle at their adorable expressions, but a voice filled with disappointment soon followed.

“Sera, do you know how many times me and Ferre called you?”

“Yeah, yeah. We called you three times.”

“I’m sorry… I’m just a bit tired.”

Sera yawned widely, covering her mouth with one hand.

It was already the third yawn in front of Rosé and Ferre.

‘I guess it’s because I haven’t slept much…’

Sera dabbed away a tear that welled up and looked back at the children.

But noticing that they thought the conversation boring, clouds seemed to gather on Rosé and Ferre’s faces.

“It’s not that. I’m just really tired. I didn’t get much sleep.”

Sera smiled and gently reassured Rosé and Ferre.

However, the return gaze was one of skepticism, staring pointedly at her.

“Sera… you slept until noon today.”

“Even if you and Hyung went to bed at 8 last night…”

“Then nine, ten, eleven, twelve, one…”

Rosé and Ferre counted on their fingers, folding each one.

“You slept for a whole 12 hours!”

“And you’re still sleepy?”

It made sense… but…

The actual hours she had slept weren’t that many.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Sera lowered her head. She couldn’t help but think of what had kept her up from last night into the early hours. It was also why she kept drifting into a daze.

Last night. Helios had been surprisingly intense. He had more stamina than expected, and she had found it hard to keep up with him.

She had always thought of him as gentle and accommodating, but he had been relentless, pushing both to their limits.

And that night, Sera had realized a very important fact.

All those romance novels she had read were lies!

‘Helios was much more incredible…’

Sera shook her head vigorously, trying not to dwell on the previous night’s events any longer. Her cheeks grew hot.

“Sera… your face and ears are red.”

Rosé, who had been intently watching Sera, now spoke with a slightly worried voice.

“Come to think of it, your voice sounds a bit different than usual… like it’s a bit rough.”

Ferre tilted his head.

“It’s hot today, and you’re wearing that dress with a high collar…”

Rosé and Ferre’s eyes lingered on Sera’s dress.

Indeed, the dress she wore today was ill-suited for the hot weather. While the material was thin, the design covered her arms and neck completely.

Initially, Sera had no intention of wearing this dress. It didn’t suit the season, and anyone could see it was stifling.

But after the maids fussing over her hair seemed to notice something and blushed, she had no choice but to change into it.

“Sera… are you…”

Rosé and Ferre looked at her with a more serious expression.

Even though she knew the children were unaware of anything, that serious gaze made Sera’s heart flutter.

“Are you sick?”

“Do you have a cold?”

The twins asked one after the other.

“O-Oh, no, it’s just a bit hot.”

Sera tried to dismiss it nonchalantly while waving her hand.

Rosé and Ferre seemed somewhat skeptical.

Fortunately, Helios appeared just in time, sparing her from having to make more excuses.

Having just returned from some work, he looked particularly radiant today. The late afternoon sun made his silver hair sparkle, and his purple eyes seemed clearer than usual.

His face was full of vitality, in contrast to her tiredness.

“Heli Oppa!”

“Heli Hyung!”

Rosé and Ferre jumped off the sofa and ran to him with happy faces.
