Chapter 104. Justice
It has not been as long, even so, Violette felt as if they have been away for a long time. It means that there was a time that she was longing for. In a corner of the corridor where the presence of people had faded, they could exchange words as if it were a matter of course. It was not enough just to see him, not enough just to hear his voice. not enough to reach out and touch him, not enough to feel the happiness of being in each others line of sight.
It was as if everything in the world was packed into this one corner.
You havent left yet.
Vio-chan is still here, too.
What do you want?
Nothing, I just wanted to wait.
He is always in a good mood, smiling and laughing, just like he always does. Violette wondered if the feelings she had taken for granted until now could make them feel so sacred depending on how the recipient feels about them. She wondered if everyone who falls in love feels this way.
Each gesture, each word, each movement was so special that they made her heart heavy, but she was happy to carry the weight. The more it piled up, the bigger it seemed to get. It was as if a feeling of love that is second to none was being built up. It was meaningless to compete with invisible things like feelings, Violette could feel that no one could beat the feelings she has for him.
But where were you? I looked everywhere, but you were nowhere to be found.
Oh, I was in the student council chamber to.
Yulans expression shook slightly at the student councils words. It was only a slight twitch, it only stayed a few seconds. The change was so little that it could have been forgotten in the blink of an eye, but Violette was sure that his eyes twitched in displeasure.
This is a story about the past that no one knows, a story that is no longer there. She could never tell him the whole story. If she revealed her wrong doings to him now, he might wonder if she is planning to take such actions in the future. It would be a lie to say that she has no ill feelings toward Marijune, but if you ask her if she hated her to the point of wanting to kill her, she would say no. She doesnt want to get close to her, she doesnt want to get involved with her, nor does she want to get rid of her. Violette just wished she (Marijune) wouldnt create any situation for her.
The reason why she chose such a roundabout and difficult-to-understand way to explain Yulan was because she didnt want him to know. She didnt want to expose herself to him, throw up her secret now selfishly, and then be disappointed later. She knew it was just a precautionary measure, but she had to keep him in the loop.
Because she still wants him to be with her.
Vio-chan, I think youre mistaken.
In her downcast vision, she could see Yulans feet which were on the window sill stepping forward to her. Her shoulders were stiffened in anticipation of what he would say. His large hands softly cupped his ears, which were hidden by her hair and made her look up in surprise. The moment her eyes landed on him, she could see Yulans smile that could melt all the unhappiness away was so close to her, her forehead was almost attached to his.
The gentle voice, which only Violette could hear clearly in the small corner where they often talk privately, seeped from her ears to her heart.
It doesnt matter what you do, evil, good, or anything else. It doesnt matter what you think, or what youre going to do.
Yulan wasnt interested in being the hero that everyone wanted to be. He didnt even want to be a hero who helps the weak. When he was a child, the only thing he wanted to protect was his own life. He didnt care about anyone else, and that feeling hasnt changed, but
The only thing now that has changed was his feelings for Violette. After gaining Violette, Yulan wanted to become what he wanted to be for the first time.
I dont care about good or evil. Just remember that Im always on Violettes side. You are my justice.
(I wanted to be the only one beside this person, no one else.)
