Chapter 5.1

It was the first time in nearly half a year that I had met Yeon.

‘Wow, I’m so happy to see you.’

My God, for me to be so happy to meet someone who’ll kill me, how much have I suffered at the hands of Bing Eun-seol?

I smiled brightly and reached out my hand. There was a flower in my hand from a while ago.

“Ah, hey.”

“…what is this?”

Now what is this six-year-old saying? What’s with the “What’s this?”

On one hand, I was envious. When do I get to speak so well?

“Goo, goo.”

TN: Stereotypical baby talk. 

“……are you giving it to me?”

“Eung-ung!”

Instead of accepting the flowers, Yeon looked at me with a strange gaze.

“Speak…… You understand.”

“……!”

Hyuk! This ghost-like guy!

Since Bing Eun-seol was out of sight, I must have unconsciously felt relieved and relaxed without realising.

“I know the lady is definitely one years old…”

Hut! butterfly!

I looked around with my eyes as if I was distracted by the butterflies, then put my finger in my mouth and sucked it.

Perhaps because of the bitter taste of the grass on my finger, saliva started dropping from my mouth.

Hey, this is stupid enough, right?

“Hmm…”

Yeon narrowed his eyes.

I avoided his doubtful gaze.

“There, bug.”

“Ah!”

I literally sprang up like a spring. Everything else is fine with me, but not bugs.

“Since when can you stand up? I’ve heard you’re still crawling.”

“……..”

This is, so would you believe me if I said that this is a superpower that only manifests in a crisis-like situation?

I relaxed my legs and sat down. To make it seem like a perfect coincidence.

But Yeon was not fooled.

“You weren’t stupid.”

No, I’m stupid.

What do I have to do to make you believe it? Do I have to poop here?

My heart was beating like crazy.

What if he blows my cover? The fact that I’m a genius – I mean, I’m going to look that way to others.

Then there’s no way that Bing Eun-seol will stay still.

I completely turned away from Yeon, ignoring him while picking flowers.

Go away. Please go away. Aren’t you busy? Surely, you must have martial arts training to do?

In the past you used to look like you didn’t want to be with me, but why are you staying so long today?

While I was picking flowers, Yeon suddenly snatched my hand.

“Wait.”

You startled me!

I was so surprised that I almost broke my mouth. Be careful.

“Lady, let me see your hand.”

Yeon looked at my nails with a serious expression.

My nails were white, not pale pink, like a normal healthy baby.

After being abused by Bing Eun-seol they started to change, but it wasn’t a big problem with my body, so I just let it slide.

Honestly, I don’t have anyone to treat me when I’m sick.

“This is…”

Hot energy slowly dug into my skin.

It felt like I was soaking in hot spring water. My body slowly melted as the warmth circulated in my frozen body.

It’s warm.

I must have gotten a fever without knowing.

When I came to my senses, I was rubbing my face against Yeon’s chest.

His clothes were smeared with my saliva.

Hut! I belatedly realized my misconduct and froze up.

“What is the matter with you?” he asked. “What’s with you?”

At that moment, thankfully, Yeon pushed me away roughly.

I fell over, screaming loudly.

“Huh!”

“Ah…”

I didn’t know why, but Yeon flinched.

Ta-da, it’s okay. It doesn’t hurt at all.

“My Lady…? Huh? Young Lady!”

At that time, Seoyoung, having heard my voice, rushed over to hug me.

“My Lady! Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

She frantically tidied up my dirty clothes and brushed off the flowers from my head. Only after she had made sure that there were no injuries did she bow down and greet Yeon.

It was her own rebellion.

“I greet the future of the Magyo, Lord Yeon.”
