“…… . ”
“Not anymore . And you won’t be in the future . ”
I was stiff like someone who had forgotten how to move .
Is it the sound of my heart that’s ringing in my head? Then my heart might burst soon . The human heart could not be able to withstand this beating .
Ash continued, not letting go of my hand, whether or not she knew what I was thinking .
“What about you?”
“Uh, eh?”
“I’m still a younger brother to you?”
A pleasant voice was unrealistically wrapped in my ears .
“I hope not . ”
I closed my eyes and opened them .
But even after doing that, Ash in front of me didn’t disappear . Everything was the same .
It’s no illusion . It’s also not in vain .
It was real .
No words came out . Even if it came out, it seemed that I would scream instead of a normal word .
I kept my mouth shut like some unfortunate princess with an unspeakable curse and soon shook my head .
Ash smiled at the moment I shook my head too hard .
It was a dazzling smile . I forgot everything else and lost my mind looking at his smiles .
“I’m relieved, I was wondering what to say if you say yes . ”
“……”
“Well, I won’t be your younger brother anyway . ”
……then?
If it’s not my brother, then what?
My heartbeat is really crazy . The situation was too dreamy to feel real .
In the meantime, my hand which was still held by Ash seemed to be burning hot . Not to mention the back of my hand where his lips touched .
Soon Ash left my hand alone .
And he put my hair behind my ears with a calm touch that I couldn’t feel any regret left .
I forgot how to move again and Ash whispered quietly in my ear like that .
“It’s very late at night . Take a little more rest today . ”
Ash left the room after his words .
But it wouldn’t be my illusion that the hand that was handing over my hair before leaving, moved particularly slowly as if he hated to fall off .
After the door opened and closed again, I’ve been sitting there like a rock for a while .
Soon after, I closed my mouth and fell on the bed .
“……… . nonsense . ”
The word barely escaped through the gap in my mouth .
Sometimes reality is more like a dream than a dream itself . I thought now was the time .
I greeted the morning blankly .
It turned out that I woke up at the mansion in the middle of the night when dawn was approaching .
The reason why I felt the room was bright was because of the lighting .
After a few hours, the dawn broke from the outside the window . Of course, I didn’t fall asleep until then . And of course, I couldn’t sleep more .
“Lady, are you all right?”
“Uh, uh?”
“Why are you so absent-minded? Is there something wrong with you?”
Bessie, who brought water and a white towel, spoke anxiously .
I knew I was enchanted by her voice so I could wake up from my blank mind .
“No, it’s okay . ”
“Don’t hide it, my lady . Then I’ll be really angry . ”
“It’s really alright . Well, I guess I’m a little half asleep . That’s all . ”
I took a towel from Bessie, turning around .
Then I dipped my hands in the lukewarm washbasin, and what happened a few hours ago suddenly occupied my head .
“……”
“Oh, lady! Why have you slapped yourself all of a sudden? Why are you pinching yourself again!”
“No, it’s nothing . ”

Rubbed my tingling cheeks and quickly started washing my face .
At first, though, I thought it would have been better if it was cold water, but I didn’t say it because Bessie would nag at me .
I recalled the last few hours, splashing water on my face .
All I did in the room until dawn was to shut my mouth and roll around on the bed like a madman to keep my scream from leaking . And then when I am exhausted, I stop, then roll again when my energy gets back .
I repeated it all night . If anyone had seen it, they would have really thought that there’s something wrong with my mind .
But there was a reason why I had to .
I couldn’t believe he would do that .
‘Honestly, it’s still like a dream . ’
When I asked Ash last night if I was still his sister, in fact, I didn’t expect such an answer .
It’s just, even though there’s no blood in it, we’ve been together for a long time, so we’re like a family .
Even if I’m not his sister, I think affection is similar since we’ve become familiar for a long time .
This was the hopeful answer I had drawn . And I thought I’d be happy if it happened . Because he does not despise and hates me . I thought that alone would be enough relief and happiness for me .
‘Not anymore . And you won’t be in the future . ’
‘I’m still a younger brother to you?’
‘I hope not . ’
The hand that was pouring water stopped .
My heart thumped . At the same time, my right hand was on edge . I wrapped the area carefully with my other hand .
Ash kissed the back of my hand .
Then he told me that I wasn’t his sister anymore .
He even declared that he would not be my younger brother from now on .
I wouldn’t not know what the words and actions meant after all . I couldn’t help not knowing . How can I not know?
It’s what I’ve been hoping for dozens, no, hundreds of more times .
I laughed at myself because I was so greedy that I couldn’t let go of my expectations .
So I couldn’t help noticing, and as soon as I knew, I couldn’t believe it . It was unbelievable .
Would this be the feeling of a person’s hope which became a reality, who thought it was only a vain delusion?
I was happy but it didn’t feel real . I was constantly puzzled .
It was all because of that that I was too mesmerized as if I had lost a screw .
I barely finished washing my face that seemed unlikely to end by dazed, and washed again .

Bessie didn’t say much whether she believed in the excuse that my condition was again questionable that I was still half asleep .
Instead, she came up to me wiping the water after cleaning up the wash .
“Lady . ”
“Huh?”
Bessie took my hand . A rather rough, but warm hand, perhaps because she had been working for a long time .
Bessie opened her mouth when I was feeling the warmth that was being transmitted .
“Please make a promise . You’ll never do that again . ”
“… . … . ”
“You’ll promise me, don’t you?”
Her eyes and voice made me speechless . Come to think of it, Bessie and many others were still awake until I woke up at that late hour .
What did she feel? Waiting for me to wake up in the middle of the night .
Somewhere in the corner of my heart, there was a guilty feeling raised up . So eventually I nodded .
And as if it was not enough, Bessy made me raise my hand and swore in place and twinkled the pinkie .
Bessi opened her eyes to my attitude at the time and then narrowed her gaze .
“Why?”
“You’re not joking me, are you?”
“No, not like that . ”
Why would I be joking around at this time when I haven’t done anything right? My thoughtlessness wasn’t that low .
I put my pinkie on it again with a solemn expression . Hard and tight .
“I promise . I will never do that again . I won’t leave the mansion that way, no matter what . ”
“……that’s a promise . ”
Bessie loosened her pinkie, saying she would let it go this time soon . I stared at soft Bessie and asked .
“You’re not gonna ask me again?”
“What?”
“Why I did it……… . ”
I was inwardly prepared to be grilled, I mean questioned .
At dawn, I was confused about how to explain it and how much it would be better to confide .
But Bessy didn’t mention the subject again, contrary to what I thought .

In the end, I took it out first . Bessie sighed lightly .
“I don’t know . My lady must have had your own reasons . ”
“That’s it?”
“Well, what if I can’t move a step from here until you tell me everything? Well, frankly, I didn’t mean to do that either . ”
Bessie took a towel from me and thoroughly wiped the water off my face .
“You promised me you wouldn’t do that again anyway . That’s enough . For me . ”
“…… . ”
“Of course I’d listen if you’d tell me now . ”
“No, I’ll do it later because it’s something I need to prepare my mind for . ”
“Yes, then . Oh, if you think something’s wrong, don’t skip it and tell me right away . This is a promise, too . ”
“Okay . ”
Then Bessie said she would squeeze the chef out and make a nice breakfast and then left the room .
I stayed alone, blinked my eyes and laid back . The feel of the soft bed enveloped my back .
‘……I’ll have to say it . ’
Not just for one Bessie, but for everyone in the mansion .
I’m not the blood of this family, although the butler and Bessie already know .
We, Ash and I may have a different relationship in the future .
I lay down, spreading some imagination, and then rolled the bed again .
Oh, I’m going crazy . Heart . Please stay still .
Anyway, my heart couldn’t calm down . What am I going to do if this is unreal?
Then, I rolled on the bed like that and suddenly a luggage bag placed near the bed caught my eye .
I stopped moving suddenly .
That luggage bag is……
‘I didn’t notice that it was here?’
Did Ash bring it when he moved me?
Come to think of it, I didn’t remember putting that suitcase out of my hand until just before I lost consciousness .
I’ve been hugging Ash and limping… Well, anyway I’ve been hugging him .
I was thinking of it and soon jumped up . As soon as I saw the bag, I remembered something .
‘The enchanted cloth . ’
