“Team leader!”

“Uh… how come all of you are here…?”

I wasn’t the one who called him.

Meichel was the only one who was very excited, thus waving her hands to Carlos.

Although she had been dumped since the beginning, the way she kept her chill I’m front of him was cool.

While she ran to Carlos, who was sitting under the tent reviewing documents, I sneaked behind Ishid.

“Let me borrow your back, friend.”

“What?”

I didn’t have the audacity to greet the person I kissed just a few days ago.

Although in the Banquet Hall none of them were in their right minds, this time was different; they were both sober. Just thinking about it made her face hot.

If I had pushed him away back then because I didn’t like him, I would have been less embarrassed.

Foolishly, I didn’t think of such an option. My instinct must have acted ahead of me, and made my mind chaotic.

Or I was possessed by him for a while.

“Long time no see, Team leader.”

“It has only been three days, still… It’s been a while. Nice meeting you again Manager Leander.”

With that said, Carlos’ gaze was glancing toward me.

Thanks to that, Ishid was looking at me while I used his back as a shield.

I shouldn’t have looked at you! My shoulders trembled at embarrassment..

“Woah, I’m very touched Team Leader!”

“Oh, Mhm. But let’s greet each other by just saying hi, not hugs.”

Carlos shook hands with Manager Dice with an expression that troubled.

After confirming that, I quickly turned around.

Even though my business was to do this.

“Ishid.”

“Huh?”

“You did it for this purpose, right?”

When I spoke in front of him, a smiling face returned to me. Ishid did not hide it.

This bastard, wasn’t he being too honest?

Since Carlos came to like me, and did well at his performances, it was only natural to doubt him, since he had scandals several times.

I said it all because I avoided taking care of the given Rosemary from him, inside the hospital.

However, it was too much to come here by teleport.

“What are you fiddling over there? Why did you even bother going with us if you’re just going to hide in my back?”

“Just in case he misses you?”

“What…?”

“Shouldn’t I have at least one friend to help me in this kind of state? Furthermore, he’s someone who is head over heels for me. Isn’t he so romantic? Now look at him.”

The team leader said he seemed to be in a bad mood throughout the day, but everything got better after I came.

Ishid turned my body around and told me to face Carlos. It was true. I could see Carlos smiling brightly at me.

I bit my tongue with an awkward face. That smile… is very, very… harmful to my heart..

“Ishid.”

“Yes, Rose.”

“In the future, just be good at handling your relationship, please.”

“Ugh!”

I stepped on his foot and walked forward.

Oh, really. His terrible romanticism over me.

That’s why he fell in love with Elchevita at first sight and couldn’t get out of it.

I gritted my teeth.

And who let me avoid facing Carlos? I said I’m not ready yet.

Even if Ishid didn’t help her, she was the one who’ll face him someday. There are still two more weeks left until I retire.

So, my relationship with him is ambiguous.

“… Miss Lutiens.”

“How have you been, Team Leader?”

“I missed you.”

“…!”

I must leave this problem to the future.

“Didn’t you miss me?”

“Oh, that’s…”

“Because I missed you.”

Whoops, cancel that plan. After experiencing it, I learned that I wasn’t particularly reliable after 1 second.

“…Don’t come near me please. I don’t know what to say.“

“Have you been thinking about what to answer me?”

“It’s not that I’m not worried… wait. Why is your story like that?”

While talking about their lunch menu, the others took the lead to go in front, while the two of them remained behind the three.

Carlos liked it and we were walking side by side, while he busied himself pouring out words to me.

The intention was stark. Just by looking at his violet eyes looking at me, I know exactly how he feels right now and what he feels to me.

He always likes me.

“Can I hold your hand?”

“No.”

“Hugging at a reunion?”

“I’ll reject that, too.”

Since you saw my face, everything is fine.

“I see…”

I held back my laughter as I saw him visibly disappointed.

What, really. He looked like a dog shaking its tail.

Whenever my calmly lowered hair flutters along the lukewarm wind, I feel chilly. The wind’s soft.

‘Was I too unfriendly?’

After a moment of deliberation, I decided to unravel one layer of my insistent attitude of declining him.

The spring festival is coming soon, with that, the original story would take its place.

Wouldn’t he be sincere to me now before he liked Elchevita at first sight?

Maybe I want to believe that I’m okay and that I’ll be okay.

“This wasn’t supposed to be like this.”

“…!”

“This is only for today.”

I gently grabbed his little finger. It was like it was just draped over my fingers, not squeezing it tight.

It feels warm.

Nothing changed from Carlos, whom I saw in a few days.

Smiles at me, treats me kindly, and sometimes I don’t know what to do with him.

I didn’t know I would catch him myself, so he looked cute that his purple eyes were shaking lightly.

“Why? Your expression is dark, should I put it back down?”

“I can’t do that.”

When I relaxed my finger, it was held tightly by him. Now the fingers were tightly interlocked.

Carlos smiled lazily.

“You’re working hard, so you should be rewarded kindly.”

“Reward?”

“Yes. I’ve never seen you like this before.”

He tapped the back of my hand which he held together.

He said he didn’t expect it at all. I understood what he meant.

This is the first time I’ve reacted flexibly.

“It means you like this, right?”

“Of course.”

A clear sky-like mark after rain.

I liked the laughter he made, so I laughed after him without realizing it.

Well, this kind of daily life wouldn’t be bad either.
