Someone watching me? What did he mean by ‘watching me’?

I stopped worrying for a moment and blinked.

Gyerg lowered his voice.

“You never thought it was weird?”

“What?”

“Remember. When you got back from the outing, you didn’t even say anything, but the Duke himself was out to see you off. On his own.”

“It’s obvious that you left without telling where you were going, but the Duke knew where you were and followed you.”

“And?”

“And sometimes, you find some human who made mistakes to you, without the presence of the Duke, to suddenly get injured.”

The previous two were yes, and I don’t feel strange about that, but the last one was like shooting to my head.

A name just popped out of my mouth.

“Inner Seacomert. What happened on his wrist was because of Ash?”

“Yes!”

As if Gyerg had been waiting, he immediately affirmed it.

His voice was elevated as if he was a God.

“The Duke did it by ordering his men. Why would he do that? It’s simple because that guy just grabbed your wrist. Then here’s the problem. How did the Duke know that?”

“You…….”

I frowned at Gyerg’s words. Gyerg pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed.

“You understand what I’m saying?”

“That means……..”

At the moment, some realization flooded in and I was speechless.

Gyerg added a deeper smile to his face as he saw me unable to speak.

“Yeah, that’s it–”

“My surprise!”

“-What?”

Gyerg exclaimed, startled by my sudden cry.

I clenched my fist. My fist trembled with the shock of surging like a wave.

“My surprise! That means it wasn’t a surprise!”

If Ash knew that Inner Seacomert grabbed my wrist on the street that day, it means that he also knew that I stopped by the jewellery store that day.

Argh! I stretched my fist and grabbed my head.

Oh, my God, that! Like that! I was caught in vain!

Gyerg grabbed my head and looked at me in embarrassment.

“What are you talking about? What did you say?

“You don’t have to know.”

I waved my hand. The sound of pain came out.

So that’s how I was discovered. The surprise wasn’t a surprise anymore, even before it started, right?

This is driving me crazy. My cheeks glowed with anger.

I flapped my hands and blew the wind to my face.

Gyerg’s expression becomes weird.

“Human.”

“Why?”

“I’m asking just in case, you understand me right?”

Of course. I understand, so I’m doing this.

I stopped fanning my hands and sighed. Then, while I was at it, I arranged Gyerg’s words.

“Yeah, so what you mean is Ash ordered his man to watch me outside. When he’s not with me. Right?”

“That’s right….….”

Although perfectly arranged, Gyerg’s voice was tingling.

What’s wrong with him?

Does he want me to thank him? Because he told me everything I didn’t know?

That would take some time to think about it.

When I thought so, Gyerg went on.

“No, something’s not right. Human, are you shocked? You’re shocked, aren’t you?

Who is this half-demon making fun of? I opened my mouth because I was dumbfounded.

So what is the whole mess I just showed him if it isn’t a shocking look?

I frowned on one of my eyes, choosing the curse to pour out on him, and suddenly stopped.

Wait a minute.

I kept my eyes on him. When I looked at Gerg, I saw some expectations on Gyerg’s face.

Expectation?

Oh, I see.

I let go of my frown and grinned at Gyerg. Gyerg looked suspicious for a moment.

“If it’s a shock, are you talking about a shock like this?”

“What?”

I clasped the hem of my dress and wrinkle it. Then I said in a shaky voice.

“No way, how could he do that? It’s creeping me, to keep an eye on me without telling me………!”

“…….”

“This is what you anticipated, isn’t it?”

It was a short but great one-person play. It was good acting. I was satisfied and unfolded the crumpled dress.

In time, Gyerg’s expression crumpled instead.

“You, what are you?

“What do you mean?”

“Did you know?”

“What? About what did you tell me earlier?”

“Yes.”

“I wouldn’t have listened to you like this if I had known.”

And at that time, it wouldn’t have been possible to buy a ring while revealing everything around me to him.

It’s in the past, but I’m getting emotional again. I calmed down thinking of the Lamaze breathing method.

Gyerg looked as if he couldn’t understand at all.

“Then what is it?”

“What?”

“You, you look so fine hearing that the Duke kept an eye on you. Is this my misunderstanding?”

“It’s not a misunderstanding. You saw it right away.”

“Why? Why is everything okay?”

Gyerg looked stuffy. He raised his voice at me.

“How come you’re okay, usually…….”

Then, he asked me what I thought, with his face twisted.

“Did you like that? Enjoying being watched?”

“What? No.”

What the hell is this half-demon talking about?

He is suddenly putting a person’s taste in danger. I’m sorry, but I don’t have that kind of hobby.

But I can see why he’s saying that. I thought for a moment and opened my mouth.

“I’ll tell you one thing. I’m more self-objectifying than it looks.”

“……?”

“In other words, I know myself pretty well. What this means is that I’m not sure if I would have acted differently from Ash when I was in the same situation.”

“…….!”

“Do you understand?”

Since we’re not going to see each other soon anyway, I was especially kind.

Gyerg’s eyes opened one big step at a time. Soon after that, his whole expression changed subtly.

What’s that look? Oh, I think I know.

That’s a sick face.

“Both of you human……….”

“…….”

“Same things! Hey, this human and that human really are a pair one! They said that typical humans meet each other!”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, my God, I’m so sick of it that I’m going to get out of here! I don’t want to see you anymore, so I’ll go out on my own.”

Gyerg was so heated up on his own that he tore the air off and disappeared.

I suddenly thought while looking at the corridor that had become unnaturally quiet.

‘Was it dumped?’

At first glance, such assumptions were made.

Gyerg, looks like someone who got kicked out of contacting his ex-girlfriend or crush when he followed Ash last time?

I think the ex-girlfriend cause would look naturally more possible. Like saying to his girlfriend “are you sleeping?” and then heard the cold answer, “Get out.”

So, if that anger was the cause he showed such abnormal behaviour.

‘Oh……..’

I think that’s so possible.

I thought it would be a good reason, but unfortunately, the person who would check the answer had already disappeared from the seat.

***

“………That’s what happened.”

Ash, who was listening to my story silently, raised his eyes and made eye contact with me.

His golden eyes, which naturally caught the eye, reflected the light in five colours like glass beads.

I looked into the eyes and soon put my hands together to cover Ash’s eyes.

No, these eyes are too strong. I don’t have to watch it.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

I spoke in a voice that gave me a lot of strength.

Ash answered without removing my blindfolded hand.

“From now on, if anything happens outside, call them. I’ll order them to jump out like a dog if you say ‘come out’.”

“Really? How many people are there in total? ….…It’s not…!”

This isn’t it! I didn’t even look at it, but I tend to go over it on my own.

I opened my mouth by lashing myself into the ground, which almost got swept away easily.

“Is that important now? The point is that you did it without telling me. How’s that possible?”

How did you do that? you expose me buying a ring so poorly!

Ouch. Ash was silent for a moment at my voice mixed with injustice. Then he asked.

“Are you angry?”

I removed the hand that was covering Ash’s eyes.

Then I looked at Ash’s long, neat eyelashes, his cutting nose, and his eyes, which I wanted to swim in before spitted out the answer.

“No.”

That’s impossible. How can I get mad at him?

Even after holding a thousand years of anger, the moment I see this face, it will be released like a lie.

Furthermore, I had no anger to be resolved in the first place. It’s not because I’m angry that I’m coming all the way to the oval office and questioning Ash.

Rather, well, honestly speaking, it’s embarrassing.

These feelings are expressing the embarrassment, shame, and self-doubt that come from the fact that the ambitious surprise was not a surprise at all.

But even that seems to have already gone overboard. I can’t believe it’s not this easy to even be mean nor grumpy.

Phew. This is all because of his face.

What did he eat to become handsome like this? Why is he so handsome? Does he have any conscience at that?

I rubbed at Ash’s white, smooth cheeks, then I took my hands off and grumbled.

“Say it right. You weren’t surprised at all when I took out a bouquet of flowers and a ring. You were very calm, weren’t you?

“I admit I wasn’t surprised, but…….”

Ash held my hand which was falling from my cheek and kissed my palm. I shuddered at the sudden touch.

“I need to argue against the fact that I was calm.”

“…….”

“I was happy. Very.”

“I was crazily like it.”
