Be Careful When Agreeing to Terms and Conditions - Be Careful When Agreeing to Terms and Conditions chapter 50

5.5 Interlude (1)

Lumine was not in a good mood. Because there was one person who was doing something annoying to him. Lumine’s cold gaze scanned the first floor of the lodgings, inside the dining room, which could be called a hall. Fissle, who usually got on Lumine’s nerves, was gone. So Lumine should have been feeling extremely refreshed, but misfortune always appears in unexpected places.

Lumine’s gaze, which was scanning the restaurant, was fixed on a certain place. There, a beautiful woman with dark blue hair wearing a cone hat was seen flirting with the man she loved. The distance was close.

Lumine felt her insides boiling. Smile? Her clothes were dressed like a vulgar prostitute, and the way she clung to Siu and fawned over her was so annoying that I wanted to kill her. As her Lumine insides burned, her gaze became increasingly colder.

Some might say this is an overreaction. Mona, a beauty with dark blue hair wearing a cone hat, always showed off that her Luminee was her best friend with the man she loved. If it was her friend, she could understand. No matter how Lumine she was, she had no intention of asking Si-woo to cut off all her human relationships.

But no matter how I looked at her, she was not Mona. She was not treating Si-woo as her friend. First of all, those sweet eyes when looking at her man. And even sneaking up next to them and making eye smiles or even sharing playful skinship. It was a characteristic only revealed by a woman who tried to seduce the person she cared about under the guise of her best friend.

More than anything, what Lumine didn’t like was Siwoo’s attitude towards Mona.

Every time Mona stopped, Siwoo strangely blushed and avoided her gaze. Anyone could see that it was an action that was blatantly conscious of the other person. Not as a friend, but rationally. At this point, Lumine’s patience was reaching its limit.

Fissul was still okay. No matter how good Fissle is, her Lumine superiority will not change as long as Siwoo thinks of her as ‘her little boy’. But Mona was different. Siwoo clearly recognized Mona as a woman. I don’t know what exactly happened the night before, but that fact was clear.

Lumine gritted his teeth. Mona knew clearly. Lumine’s feelings for Siwoo. So, when she was first introduced, didn’t she say that she was just a ‘friend’? But in just a few weeks, she changed her attitude like flipping the palm of her hand.

The shadows began to disappear from the eyes of the traitor, Lumine. She was angry at Si-woo for ignoring her, but her anger towards Mona was even greater. As Lumine’s mood became more serious, Paimon began to notice her as her body trembled.

Then, when Paimon saw Siwoo trying to enter the kitchen, he quickly flew towards him.

“I’m going with you! “Siwoo, today Paimon Lee will be in charge of the tasting!”

“…… “You’re not doing that because you’re hungry, are you?”

“No!”

As always, the two entered the kitchen, bickering among themselves. Mona, who had been seeing Si-woo off with her sweet eyes until the end, finally turned her body and began walking steadily back.

Lumine didn’t even like the arrogant and proud gait. Her fierce gaze turned to Mona.

“…… I wish?”

Mona’s gait stopped at the cold voice. She glanced back at Lumine as if to ask what was going on. Lumine thought that face was really shameless.

“I thought it would be nice because Siwoo would play with me. “The way you look at Siwoo seems like it could be as sweet as honey?”

Mona said, “Ah,” As if she understood Lumine’s cold voice. She smiled. To Lumine, it was a smile that felt like a mockery.

“Is that so? “I’m sorry, maybe I was too obvious.”

Lumine’s gaze became more fierce at Mona’s words. Her face had a cold, murderous feel to it. If she had been Mona a while ago, she would have taken a step back, saying that she hated being involved in troublesome matters. But not anymore.

If she had wanted to avoid a fight in the first place, she wouldn’t have responded like that. Mona no longer wanted to hide her true feelings. She said it was impossible. Just thinking about that brief kiss she shared with Siwoo last night made Mona unable to sleep because her heart was pounding.

Mona once again recalled the events of last night. That alone made her face feel a little hot. Her heart was pounding. She wondered if Mona had been too bold, but secretly she felt good. She was extremely happy that it was she and not Lumine who took Siwoo’s first child.

Lumine twitched the corner of her mouth. She had a cold smile. She asked mockingly.

“When did we call them ‘friends’?”

“Um… It was like that, right? However, as you spend time together, new feelings can develop between friends.”

Mona then smiled slightly. It wasn’t the sweet smile she had when seducing Siwoo. Rather, the purpose may be to provoke Lumine.

“…… “Why are you not confident?”

With a bang, Lumine raised her body with her palms on the table. Although it was a restrained movement, it was inevitable that a small noise would be made. Rumine felt like she wanted to pull out her sword at any moment. Lumine and Mona’s gaze began to intertwine as if they were about to explode at any moment.

“…… Are you kidding me? Since Si-woo has been helping me for the past few days, do you think you have become something for Si-woo?”

“Then what are you talking about Siwoo?”

Lumine’s cold voice was interrupted by Mona’s calm voice. Lumine’s fine eyebrows furrowed. Even that figure made her into a picture, but that wasn’t Mona’s concern. Mona’s gaze was also rapidly losing its temperature.

“Can you be Si-woo’s lover? Do I need your permission to like Siwoo? “Isn’t it?”

Lumine was momentarily speechless due to Mona’s interrogation. She just glared at Mona. Lumine, who had been silent for a while, managed to get her voice together.

“I…” ….”

Then Lumine thought. What am I of Siwoo? In fact, Lumine wanted to be anything for Siwoo. But that was just her wish, and Lumine was still just a colleague to Siwoo. That was why Lumine was moved in ‘Angel’s Share’.

Lumine has never hated something so unbearably as she does now. In the end, her gaze, which had been glaring at Mona, lowered slightly.

“…… “I am Siwoo’s first colleague.”

Lumine answered like that and chewed her lips. I felt miserable. The reality is that she has no choice but to give her answer, and that she must confess that fact to her rival, who is fighting over the man she loves more than anything else.

Mona snorted her laughter. It was blatant ridicule. Lumine glared at Mona again as if she was in tears at the ridicule, but Mona’s gaze only grew colder.

Mona didn’t like Lumine for a long time. She was a woman who didn’t know anything about Siwoo. It was absolutely disgusting for him to say that he loved Si-woo without knowing what he was thinking about, what he had to give up, and what he had to sacrifice.

And I didn’t like it. The fact that Si-woo was receiving special treatment more than anyone else on such a topic, and the fact that Lumine was not left behind in all of Si-woo’s motivations for action were all so unpleasant that I couldn’t bear it.

Just because he is the ‘first colleague.’ Flames also rose in Mona’s eyes.

“…… “Is it so great to be your first colleague?”

Lumine gritted her teeth, but she couldn’t think of anything to say in response. Mona did not miss the opportunity and continued to fire.

“So what did you do for Siwoo? Do you know what concerns Siwoo has? “Does he know what he sacrificed to be in this position?”

“I…” ….”

Those words were the starting point. Lumine’s eyes began to shake violently. It was strange. I couldn’t think of anything to reply to Mona’s words. What is Siwoo worried about, and what did he sacrifice to be where he is now? Siwoo didn’t tell Lumine. Lumine regretted the past and wondered why she didn’t ask more about it.

However, what Lumine was feeling was not Mona’s concern. Mona’s contemptuous interrogations continued to pour out toward Lumine.

“The only thing you did for Siwoo was protecting him when he fell to the Tibat Continent in the beginning. “But what did Siwoo do for you in return?”

Lumine’s eyes instinctively turned to her waist. The ‘Sword of the Sky’ was the first sword Siwoo gave me as a ‘comrade’. It was Lumine’s pride now, and she thought it would continue to be so. Because it was the first gift I received from Siwoo.

But I didn’t expect that the sword would feel as heavy as it does now. Mona snorted, as if she had guessed where Lumine’s eyes were going.

“That sword has a similar value to the one that the Woindan purchased for 800 million mora not long ago. I heard Si-woo gave it to him as a gift before he left for his first trip? “Don’t you wonder what it would have been like if he had raised capital by selling that sword?”

Of course, Siwoo had no intention of doing that. This was because selling such a valuable item required a minimum of safety measures. That was why, only after Siu had built up his social status in Mond, did he plan to sell off the ‘Pride of the Sky’.

However, neither Lumine nor Mona, who were present here, could guess what was going on. Lumine’s gaze went blank for a moment.

Siwoo, how much did you sacrifice for me?

It was a thought he had never thought of before. Because I thought Siwoo and her had a shared destiny. Lumine was able to sacrifice her life for Siwoo without hesitation. So I guessed that Si-woo felt the same way.

Even though it can’t be. Mona’s words pierced Lumine’s heart with cruel truth.

“Do you know how much Siwoo misses his hometown? But he gave up on even that. I’ll make you pay for just touching you…… ! “So what are you doing for Siwoo?”

The hatred that had been condensed in Mona’s heart, and her jealousy, came out of her mouth through her language. Mona glared at Lumine with her disdainful gaze.

“Do you get jealous of the women who cling to Siwoo, argue with them while glaring at them, and finally get angry by pouting?”

Mona burst out laughing as if she was dumbfounded. She took her steps towards Lumine. She came within close range of Lumine and whispered into Lumine’s ear. It was a cold, subdued voice.

“…… Figure out the topic. If you want to stand next to Si-woo, think about how you can win his heart. I don’t have the courage to do that, so people around me are jealous… “It’s ugly.”

Lumine’s body stiffened after hearing those words. She wanted to say something back. She wanted to retort, but she couldn’t. And more than anything, I felt sorry for Siwoo.

Mona’s words cleverly turned Lumine into a selfish girl who was blinded by her love. Although that was what Mona intended, her words were digging into a point that her Luminee had been overlooking. Now her Lumine heart was on the verge of breaking.

Lumine’s gaze wavered. Soon her body also began to tremble. Her pathetically shaky voice came from Lumine’s mouth.

“I, I…” ….”

“Lumine, Mona!”

Her man’s voice came from somewhere. Lumine and Mona looked away in shock. Before I knew it, Siwoo had come out of the kitchen and had a serious look on his face. There was a hint of embarrassment in those eyes.

Pay Mon hid behind Siu and stuck out his head. It seemed like he was watching.

“What are you two doing now?”

“Si, Siu… Me, I… therefore… ….”

Lumine, who could not even look straight at Siu’s face with her shaking eyes, soon turned her body, chewing her lips. She started running outside of her with her head down.

“Ah, traveler! “Go, go together!”

Paimon must have been taken aback by Lumine’s sudden behavior and immediately followed her. At the same time, he cast a slightly resentful look at Siwoo. To Si-woo, he was just dumbfounded.

Siwoo looked at the spot Rumine left with a puzzled expression, then looked at Mona with a frown on her face.

Mona just hummed and snorted. Also, Lumine came first, and Mona was also upset in her own way.

“…… Phew, let’s talk next time.”

Siwoo sighed and shook his head. In fact, it was something he had secretly expected.

Mona was just a more formidable woman than he thought.

**

That night, Lumine did not return. Siwoo took a sip of his drink.

It was an unpleasant feeling. He deserved it. I don’t know what happened to Rumine, but she ran out looking like she was going to cry. That alone made Siwoo’s heart feel as heavy as a stone. Lumine’s last appearance came to mind.

Should I have followed him and comforted him then? Then Siwoo shook his head. If I did that, I would have hurt Mona’s heart again. In the end, no matter what the problem was, with Lumine staying with Paymon, she had no choice but to come to her own conclusion and wait for his return.

But I couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Siwoo glanced at a corner of the restaurant. There, Mona was secretly observing Siwoo’s reaction while pretending to read a book, and when he made eye contact, he quickly pretended to read the book. Anyone could see that he was watching Si-woo’s thoughts.

Siwoo laughed because he found it absurd. His appearance was cowardly. Even though he was like that, he didn’t get angry because he felt cute.

In the end, Siwoo sighed deeply. I called her name quietly.

“Mona.”

Mona flinched and trembled at those words. Mona quietly put the book down on her table and looked at Siwoo.

Mona cleared her throat and tried to look calm. It would be her last pride. When Siwoo didn’t talk to her, she looked like a puppy in the rain, and it seemed like she still had some pride as a ‘great astrologer’.

“…… Why?”

Mona’s voice was a bit tense when she said that. Siwoo smiled bitterly. I wasn’t even angry anymore.

“Thank you for liking me, but don’t provoke Lumine. Lumine fell to the continent of Tivat and was separated from her family for the first time.”

The moment she said the name ‘Lumine’, Mona’s gaze became noticeably colder. It was something she had to say nonetheless. Siwoo shook her head and continued his words.

“That’s why she’s a little obsessed with me, her first colleague. And in the first place, I am not a man worthy enough to receive the love of a good woman like you…….”

“…… I’m serious?”

Siwoo closed his mouth. As Siwoo continued speaking, his eyes turned to Mona. Mona looked at Si-woo with a slightly serious expression and then stood up.

She came over and sat across from Siwoo. It was a natural movement, like flowing water. Siwoo, who had been watching Mona in silence, then asked back.

“…… What?”

“Are you serious when you say that the traveler is obsessed with you because you are his first companion?”

Siwoo was silent. Instead of answering, he poured dandelion wine into a glass. The refreshing scent of liquor spread out. Siwoo tipped his glass and drank it right away.

Thump, Si-woo put down his glass on the table. Siwoo’s gaze sank.

“What do you want to say?”

“…… “You know.”

Siwoo sighed in response to Mona’s answer and placed his hand on his forehead. It was an annoying reaction. Siwoo massaged his temples as if his head hurt.

“Let’s stop, we’ll talk next time…” ….”

“I don’t like it.”

Si-woo’s movements suddenly stopped. Siwoo lowered his hand from his forehead and looked at Mona. It was a complicated perspective.

“If you say you don’t like it, then you’ll keep avoiding it.”

In the end, Siwoo made a groaning sound. He meant he didn’t want to talk, but Mona didn’t stop.

“You’re noticing, right? “What travelers like about you.”

Siwoo just let out an irritated sigh and made no reply. However, his gaze glanced downward.

Mona was confident. Siwoo also noticed that fact, so he was not hasty in denying it.

“…… “I still haven’t let go of my regrets.”

It was just one word. At that one word from Mona, Siwoo’s eyes turned to Mona again. The slight discomfort mixed with his gaze soon subsided with Siwoo’s sigh. Siwoo poured alcohol into his glass again.

“It can’t be that easy…” ….”

Siwoo then drank alcohol. And that had to be the right answer. The relationship on the Tivat Continent was something that was common on the Tivat Continent.

Lumine can travel to all kinds of worlds. But can that bring us to the reality Siwoo lived in? In the first place, where Siwoo lived, Lumine was a character in the game. Even if she surpassed her dimension, she was only a setting in her game, and it was unclear whether she would be able to come out in reality.

And Lumine wasn’t the only one on the Tivat continent. She had Fissle and she had Mona. It was irresponsible to promise the future without letting go of attachment to reality.

Mona looked at Siwoo without saying anything, and then she spit out one word.

“…… “Of course, it won’t work.”

Siwoo’s questioning gaze turned towards Mona. Mona tilted her upper body. Mona declared while looking at Siwoo.

“I think I will continue to fight with travelers.”

Siwoo’s face crumpled. What does that mean now?

“Hey, even for me, human relationships are… ….”

“If not, you’ll keep avoiding me, right?”

Siwoo pursed his lips. A dissatisfied gaze turned towards Mona. At the same time, there was a subtle heat in those eyes.

Irritability, anger, things like that.

“Have you ever shared your concerns with a traveler? For Fissle? “Why are you acting like you made a decision and came to a great conclusion instead of doing that? At least I can’t stand that.”

Mona’s words were calm, but there was something that caught her off guard. Siwoo took another drink without saying anything. The alcohol went well. The best snack was the pain in my heart.

“…… “How long do you think you can hold on?”

Siwoo did not respond to those words. He held up his glass and shook it. He seemed to be thinking about something.

“Will I be able to handle it alone in the future? You don’t know, but I see it. You’re shaking. For the traveler and for me. Even to Fissle.”

Siwoo’s eyes turned to Mona again. Si-Woo felt like something made him cry at that provocative tone. However, whether Mona knew her feelings or not, she added without thinking.

“I don’t like people like Traveler and Fissul who are worried about people around you without being able to get an answer because of your circumstances. So, I will do whatever it takes to make you fall.”

Mona then raised her body. Siwoo didn’t say anything until then.

“…… Just be patient for a moment. “Let’s see how long you can hold on.”

Then Mona turned and headed towards her stairs. Mona ended her sentence like that and felt a little regret. Maybe I got too close. Then it might seem less attractive.

Siwoo seemed displeased, so this may have caused Mona to hate him. Just thinking about that made Mona feel like her heart skipped a beat.

Nevertheless, Mona had nothing to do. If he didn’t do this, Siwoo would make various excuses and avoid answering Mona’s feelings. He hated it that much. He did not want to continue an unrequited love like Lumine did.

At least I could get an answer and try again even if I got rejected. However, if you avoid answering the question itself, there is no answer.

Then the sound of her chair being dragged reached Mona’s ears. It was the sound of Siwoo getting up. Perhaps she was angry, but Mona pretended not to notice and headed towards the stairs with her arrogant gait. No matter how angry Siwoo gets, he is a person who does not cross the line. Haven’t you been trying to ignore Lumine’s feelings because you were afraid of that?

However, Siwoo’s response while drunk was beyond Mona’s imagination.

Whoop, Mona’s arm was grabbed. Before she could figure out what was going on, Mona’s body was pushed against the wall next to the stairs.

Her body clung to the wall. Before I knew it, Siwoo was approaching. If Mona had her way, she wouldn’t have been able to shake off Siu’s arms, but for the first time she felt the man’s arms around her so tightly that Mona didn’t even think about breaking away from her in an instant. .

Mona looked at Siwoo with her surprised eyes. Heat was radiating from Siwoo’s gaze. Is it anger, irritation, or some other emotion?

It smelled like alcohol. Mona’s heart pounded. As Siwoo looked down at Mona, it felt like she was losing her mind. Yeah, it’s because of the alcohol. She smells like alcohol, so she’s probably drunk. Only such ridiculous thoughts floated through her head.

The moment Mona swallowed dry saliva.

“…… “What if I don’t hold back?”

Siwoo said in a growling voice. Mona looked at Siwoo with her new eyes.

I thought she had strong arms and a thin body, but when I looked again, I saw that wasn’t the case. Her manly muscles were conveyed through Siwoo’s strength. And the fierce eyes, and even the face that makes women’s hearts tremble.

Oh, uh…… ? Mona felt like her head was spinning because of Siu’s words, his voice, and Siu himself.

“If I don’t hold back, what do you think will happen?”

All of Mona’s thoughts stopped temporarily. Her breathing stopped. All she could think about was her heart pounding wildly. Mona’s mind was filled with only one thought.

A big problem has occurred.

I don’t know what it was, but it felt like something big had happened.
