Chapter 5

“Is your… Is your body okay?”

“Yes.”

“Great… That’s a relief.”

Aaron was restless in front of me as if he had more to say.

Maybe he’s worried about her beloved younger sister, but it was obvious that he couldn’t even speak to her because he knew her personality.

Aaron only showed his face once in the five days. It was for Selina’s mental and physical stability.

I can’t believe he didn’t show his face for mental and physical stability… Look at this situation, Selina! Sit in your thinking chair and reflect on it!

“Would you like to walk with me? Brother?”

I wasn’t shameless enough to regard Selina’s family as my own, but I had to do this for Selina who called me in, so I decided to use the title of brother.

Selina, self-reflection and apology are essential if you don’t want a person to be miserable. Otherwise, in the end, everything will be left with regrets at the last minute. Have you ever thought of it?

“Huh?”

Aaron looked back at the two people behind me. I imagined what the two faces would be like. Maybe he’s surprised and shakes his head saying it’s something he doesn’t know.

“If you don’t like it, then don’t.”

“No, no, Selina. Yeah, let’s take a walk together.”

I turned back to Aaron’s satisfactory answer. A-something with a face that was less apart, and Lucas with a normal expression, but his eyes flutter without a word.

Their expressions are quite worth seeing.

“You heard me, right? Leave. I’m going for a walk with my brother.”

The two paused as if contemplating. As the two people glanced at me and then repeatedly looked at Aaron behind me, I turned to look at Selina’s brother.

Are you going for a walk with these guys? Are you going to miss the limited express opportunity to walk alone with me? Really?

“Yes. I’ll take care of Selina. You two have to go.”

As expected, he is the (sub) male lead. He’s good at getting the right answer very well.

Aaron, who walks side by side next to me, only saw my eyes. Do you want to say something or do you want to answer my question…? His mouth seemed to itch.

He is so restless to Conficius, who is famous for his intelligence.

Selina, think about it. Why don’t you like your brother? Do you think there are a lot of people who go public like this for you?

The question that could not be passed rang only within me. The bottom line is that we are still walking in silence.

“How are you feeling?”

“Huh?

In the end, it was my side that turned the water. Aaron asked back unexpectedly.

Look, the important sub-male lead makes such a stupid expression. In that sense, you’re already the main character…

“Your body. You look tired.”

“Oh, I’m okay. Thanks for your concern. Selina.”

“What?”

Aaron measured the timing, rolling his eyes to the point of sight. That same yoga, which turned much bigger than before, was interesting, so I shut up pretending not to know.

“Hey…. Your memories aren’t complete yet?”

It was funny to say that I was scared before I even answered. It’s not funny in a bad sense, this feeling… Yeah, I’m not sure, but it wasn’t that bothersome.

“Yes, it’s not complete but I remembered a few things.”

“You remember?”

“Yes, but it’s not clear. For example…”

I stopped walking. It was in front of a pink flower tree which is in full bloom on a tree in the garden. I don’t know the name of this tree.

The name of the flower doesn’t matter as long as it is pretty. Wouldn’t it lessen the impact if it was such a landscape?

As I looked up and looked at the flower tree, Aaron also looked up and looked at the flower tree. It’s not like a puppy that imitates the owner.

“I hated you.”

Aaron stepped back from me with a shocked expression not suitable for the beautiful scenery where the petals of the flower trees are scattered.

Don’t worry, Aaron. I won’t bite you.

I followed Aaron who took a step back. Aaron stopped and looked down at me.

There is quite a difference in height.

Aaron’s eyes, looking down at me, were shaking constantly. It seems that I know how to call myself evil again.

Pity.

I am well aware of the sacrifices that will never return.

It is Selina’s affection for him, and it is unclear what form it is for me… but I know the emptiness and bitterness of it nonetheless.

And even the feelings after giving up everything Aaron hasn’t experienced yet…

That’s why Selina, I’m better than you…

“I’m sorry that I hated you, brother.”

I think Aaron feels closer.

Aaron’s expression was strikingly cool. It literally feels great. It felt like he had been staring at me without any agitation or anything.

It’s just this much to apologize, isn’t it too much to think about your younger sister?

“Sel…Selina…. What are you saying…”

“I’m sorry for being mean to you, brother.”

***

Aaron felt his body stiffening. He should be happy with this situation now, but his younger sister apologizing for being sorry with a dull face looked as dangerous as the petals fluttering in the wind.

“Selina, are you…”

Aaron swallowed his saliva.

‘Selina, you’re not trying to die again, are you?’

He was afraid to say it…He was afraid to spit it out.

He graduated as the top in the academy but in the end, he can’t even find the answer to what to tell his sister.

“It’s okay, brother. Good is good.”

Well, he’s not sure of what was good.

“Yeah. Good is good…”

But Aaron was forced to respond and smile.

He buried deep in his heart the steamy question that he couldn’t get out in the end.

***

“Brother, how long are they going to follow me?”

As I kept saying the word ‘Brother’, it came out very naturally.

I lived with only my younger brother all my life. Is human being an animal of adaptation, or is it because Aaron feels closer than other characters?

In that sense, hey brother. Please get rid of those messes. They’re so annoying.

“Well, since your body isn’t fully healed yet, wouldn’t it be nice to endure it even if it’s uncomfortable for a while…?”

There is nothing to be confident about.

It’s like I was a child who was still expecting to answer in front of my parents.

I want to be loved, so I keep paying attention, and I wonder if my heart will run away or will I be thrown away again… Restless.

The problem is that Aaron doesn’t look like this to other characters.

A weak figure only seen by those who want to be loved and those who do not want to be abandoned.

His big back reflected his soft back as a child.

It was stupid.

If I could go back to my childhood and reach myself, I would hold your hand and tell you.

Don’t look forward to it. Because, they won’t love you until the end.

How would he react if I hold Aaron’s hand and tell him about it now?

That the real Selina is not here anymore…

No. You wanted someone to be there before you die… Aaron may have thought of you. In that respect, you are better than me.

It was a little bitter.

Aaron glanced at me nervously as I walked forward without answering for quite a long time.

“Come to think about it, that’s right. I have a favor to ask you instead.”

***

What Selina asked Aaron for a meeting with ‘Princess Ariel’. The reason was that she wanted to apologize for her mistakes.

Aaron, who was thrilled, nodded and promised to accept the request, and spoke to the Duke and Duchess.

Unlike Aaron, who was easily affirmed, the two put their heads together and complained about it.

Before losing her memory, Selina also hated Ariel, who was scheduled to be the partner of her brother.

The degree of dislike was only to hurt with words occasionally, but to hurt the princess with words. It was virtually an insult to the imperial family that could not be forgiven.

If the Duke White had not been a great national contributor and a great loyal family, Selina’s neck would have fallen.

Besides that, what’s wrong with Selina?

The memories weren’t complete, and a few days ago, he didn’t even want to think about this story.

Anyway, is it really right to meet such a child and the princess?

Aaron smiled lightly as he felt the heads of the two spinning busily. It was a smile that seemed to mean that it was really okay.

“It will be okay, father. Selina said sorry to me. She apologized. The memories are not intact, but some of the memories seem to have come back. Probably Ariel… No, this is the only reason why she wants to meet the princess.”

At Aaron’s words, the Duke nodded, but his mouth was still bitter.

Did his daughter sincerely apologize to her brother? Maybe she’s looking for memories and making any schemes.

He doubted his sick daughter. It was so sad.

“Instead, you must meet together.”

The duchess, who had a clumsy face, asked once again, and Aaron nodded with a smile.

“Yes, mother.”

***

“Princess, you wanted to meet me.”

Ariel Franklin, a woman whose blonde curls bent under her shoulders and her golden eyes are shining as if it is a star.

“Yes, Princess Ariel.”

The princess of the Franklin Empire. She really looked like a female protagonist.

The two people sitting side by side were just a good man and a good woman themselves.

Oh,They looked good together. They must be meant for each other. I can’t believe he is only a sub-male lead who loves her…

Isn’t it as cool as Hollywood? Human relations that cannot be imagined in Korea, the Eastern Defense Agency.

While admiring the relationship that seemed to be freezing because it wasn’t cool, I suddenly thought that Selina’s real name might be Medusa.

The good man, the good woman was stiff looking at me.

I barely said hello but in this state…

Shall I knock on the table once? They must be very surprised.

But the useless curiosity had to be put off. I didn’t like to knock on the table once and get stuck in the room.

Instead, I slowly stood up on my chair. The two looked at me with rabbit eyes.

I didn’t care.

Slowly I folded my back at the two rabbits.

“I sincerely apologize for my rudeness, Princess Ariel.”

I greet and apologies politely. It was one of the lessons I gained through my long caregiving and company life.
