In This Life, I Will Be The Lord-Chapter 274
Chapter 274
My whole body was numb.
But that didn't wake me from sleep.
Sarak. Sarak.
There was a friendly stroke on my head.
"Hmm."
As I pushed my heavy eyelids up and opened my eyes, a view of the room I had become accustomed to in a few days came into view.
A pillow that fell under the bed, a silk cover pushed at my feet, and Perez's eyes looking down at me.
The blonde hair that had mesmerized me had disappeared, and his original black hair had returned.
Last night, while taking a bath together, we removed the dye that was dyeing each other's hair.
It was something I did half-impulsively, like when I first changed my hair color, but seeing the familiar black hair I saw as soon as I opened my eyes was so welcome, it seemed like a good thing.
Especially since my hair is long, it took quite a while, but Perez carefully removed the black dye with great care.
Then.
And then...
"Beast."
I said, squinted at Perez.
I could only express it with these words to Perez who coveted me.
Everything started that night, the very night when there was a fireworks display.
He hesitated so cautiously outside the room door.
Then the guy who entered the room holding my hand changed suddenly.
It was like... a hound with a broken leash.
No, I must have loosened the leash with my hand.
"It's been a few days already."
I patted my back, which seemed the muscles were tight, and buried my face on the pillow.
As if drunk with strong alcohol, I looked back on the memories that remained sparsely.
The night, which began with the sound of fireworks bursting from the outside, ended only after seeing the morning star.
When the morning sun came up, I woke up at the touch of the hands wiping my body and did it again.
And it was only when the sun went down that I barely woke up, ate the meal he had brought me, and once again.
And again.....
As I recalled the last few days when I had no clothes to wear, I could feel my face getting hot.
"Perez."
"Yes, Tia."
He answered very sweetly.
Sweeping my hair that flowed forward.
But now I don't fall for it.
His neat appearance with the shirt button fastened to the bottom of the neck is as neat as a person who just went to work a while ago.
But I'm not used to seeing Perez approaching me as he unbuttoned that button...
"I mean. Are you really good at everything you do with your body?"
"Hmm."
Perez laughed bashfully.
It was a smile that seemed to be shy at first glance, but it was not.
That face, that strangely pulled the corners of his mouth upwards, is rather.
"Tia."
His rough, long fingers passed by the side of my ears and greedily combed my hair.
"I have waited for long time."
There was a sticky corner somewhere in that half-whispering voice.
"That's why. So..."
With a gradually lowering voice, the slanted face approached closer.
I also appreciated the appearance with half-dazed eyes.
Oh, one face is so pretty....
"Uh-huh!"
Wow, really!
I almost got possessed again!
I hurriedly raised my finger and blocked his lips.
"No!"
But Perez was not a man who would give up so easily.
He blocked in advance with his large hand, clasped my fingers, and kissed it.
The warmth of his warm and thick sinking makes my fingertips tingled as if I had been electrified.
"Just once."
He said it like he was whining.
"Tia, one more time..."
It was a sweet craving that would make me the worst person in the world if I didn't listen.
"Eung? This time, I'll take care of everything..." (Perez)
Should I?
He's speaking so sadly. I don't think it's okay if I accept it one more time...
"Oh, no!"
But I managed to close my eyes tightly.
Give up, Perez!
I almost fell for it again.
"I really can't! It's so hard! And you!"
I shouted with my eyes wide open as seriously as possible.
"You're strong and last long!"
I can't stand that!
I'll boil down again like I'm going to faint.
"Ah."
At my resolute refusal, a gloomy color spread in Perez's eyes that were shining like ruby.
...Should I have accepted it?
It was a moment when my heart was weakening.
Kiss.
A small, shy sound and a petal-like kiss fell on my forehead.
"Okay, Tia. Then get up and eat something."
The guy who came back to his usual clean face said.
"You haven't eaten anything since last night."
"Who cause it?"
It was because of someone who rushed, saying that the cream on the side of the meal was on my mouth.
"Yes, so I'll take you."
Perez, who said with a smile, rolled up the white sheet and held me as I was.
Then, as if he did not feel the weight, he strode and put me down in front of the table by the window.
A wonderful meal with bread, meat, fruit and tea was waiting for me.
"When did you bring this?""
"Well, about an hour ago?"
I thought I smelled something good.
"Then did you stay like that for an hour?"
When I woke up, Perez was watching me sleeping.
"Why didn't you wake me up instead of waiting?"
He murmured in a little embarrassment.
"Tia, I enjoyed watching you sleeping that I lost track of time."
"What, what?"
"Sorry, you must have been hungry. I'll wake you up earlier next time, Tia."
"You are more than me..."
I paused talking involuntarily.
"No, I mean, Perez, you must have had a harder time......"
Let's just not talk.
I shut my mouth and averted my gaze.
Perez's low laughter crossed my ears, which must have turned red.
"Eat a lot, Tia."
This time, Perez said and kissed my cheek.
It was a word that felt like he was trying to get me fat and eat it.
I glanced at him once and picked up a fork.
However, contrary to how appetizing the food looked, my appetite did not move.
I just picked some fruit and ate it, drank a few sips of hot tea and put it down.
"You don't have to eat more?"
"I just want to rest like this a little longer."
I answered, leaning my head against the back of the chair.
The desire to sleep overcomes the appetite.
I saw Perez making eye contact with me with a slow blinking vision.
"Perez."
"Yes, Tia."
"When we arrive at Luman, ha~am, we have somewhere to go together..."
Even though it was not a long sentence, it was not easy to continue talking because of the drowsiness that came.
Perez said, sweeping my cheek once, as if to go to sleep safely.
"Okay, I got it."
I suddenly became curious.
I think that's why I made a voice. (TN: The next lines is like Tia mumbled half asleep.)
Why aren't you asking? (Tia)
About what? (Perez)
Where are we going? (Tia)
I promised you that we'd be together anywhere. (Perez)
Oh, so. (Tia)
Yes. So. (Perez)
It seemed that such conversations were exchanged.
How long has it been?
"Tia."
I opened my eyes again to the voice calling me, which more familiar to me than anyone else's.
I could see a slightly brighter room.
But it was just that.
Nothing has changed from when I closed my eyes.
Even Perez, who is still looking at me affectionately next to me.
"How long have I slept?"
"About two hours?"
"...Were you doing that again for two hours?"
"Yes."
"Perez, you are seriously ill."
Seeing my tired expression on my face, Perez shrugged his shoulders and smiled a little.
"I know."
"...I can't stop you."
"Are you still tired?"
"No, it's much better than before."
"Then would you like to see outside the window, Tia?"
Perez got up from his seat and walked to the window.
And he opened the curtain that had been covering the window wide open.
"Wow."
The sun poured in.
I pulled up the seat and approached it as if possessed.
Under the high sun, the light of the deep water was scattered.
And in the distance, I saw water.
A land where low, white buildings fill the high mountainside.
"It's Luman."
With Perez's voice kissing my head, the cruise arrived at its destination.
