I Was Sick of Loving You - I Was Sick of Loving You chapter 26

26 – Witch’s Abode

I open my eyes feeling the slight lingering pain and warmth in my side.

Even when I open my eyes, it is blurry, so I close and open them several times. Only then did the blur disappear and I began to see straight.

The first thing that caught my eye in a world where the blur was gone was Iris looking down at me.

“Are you feeling okay?”

After hearing her words, I check my body condition for a while. I still have some pain in my side, and I’m a little dizzy, but that’s okay.

“it’s okay.”

Saying so, he tried to stand up. When I try to get up, she holds me back with her hand.

“You are still sick, so lie down a little longer.”

I heard those words in a soft yet firm voice.

As I lay there, I thought about something strange. It felt like I was lying on the hard floor, but the feeling on my head was soft. The angle at which the iris is viewed is also strange. At an angle where only her upper body is visible, it’s too close.

Turn your head and assess the situation.

For some reason, I’m resting my head on her lap. My thoughts stopped for a moment, and various emotions came up and tried to wake up. And then he gets stopped by her again.

“Don’t force yourself to wake up. The wound healed, but too much blood was lost.”

“I’m not overdoing it… isn’t the princess uncomfortable?”

At my words, she smiles. I don’t know why he was smiling, but it was nice to see him.

“It is not uncomfortable. I’m doing this because I want to, so don’t worry about it.”

I thought about that word a lot, but the thought that I wanted to savor this time for a moment put away other miscellaneous thoughts.

Entrust your body to that thought, and savor this time for a moment.

That time is just a quiet time when nothing is said, but for some reason, my heart is filled.

Savor the time enough and get rid of the silence.

“Where is the princess?”

“It’s the place marked on the map you gave me.”

At that word, I only move my eyes and look around. In the shape of an ordinary cave, bluish light emanated from the blue stones embedded in the middle, creating a mysterious atmosphere. And Rachel was nowhere to be seen.

“Where is Rachel?”

“He said he would look around for a bit and come back.”

“Are you okay by yourself?”

“Don’t worry too much. Wasn’t she the one who defeated the monster earlier?”

I have a little anxiety, but I put my worries aside because I’ve seen her power to kill monsters firsthand.

“Rather than that, is the princess all right?”

“Yeah, that’s fine. So don’t worry about me, you can get some rest.”

After she says that, she brushes my hair once. I silently accept that hand.

Until yesterday, she was uncomfortable, but after admitting her heart, everything about her became comfortable and lovable.

On the one hand, anxiety rising from deep-rooted wounds rears its head.

Don’t expect it. don’t love Even the emotions of this moment will soon be forgotten, so don’t accept it. only you will get sick again

I can’t ignore that cry, but I want to ignore it. want to deny I want to believe in a handful of hope.

The complex mind created by hope and deep wounds is mixed, making it impossible to fully accept her.

Even so, I want to fully accept this moment. There were happy moments in the life of pain, so why not enjoy this happiness for a while?

I think so, and savor this time.

As I savor the time, I hear her laugh.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Nothing. I just laughed because I was happy.”

“What do you enjoy so much?”

“I just enjoy this moment with you.”

At that, I also laughed a little. I never thought that such a strange word would come out of her mouth.

So much has changed.

I was glad to see her so different from what I had seen in my life before. It would be nice if we could just stay like this. I could be happy enough.

“It’s the first time I see you smiling.”

“You were laughing when we first met.”

“Shouldn’t that fake smile be removed?”

I had nothing to say about her. Because it hurt just to see her. Because I wanted to push her away. I couldn’t help but laugh in front of her.

“You only showed a confused or sad expression every time. It looks better now than those things.”

Hearing her strange words, it was hard to look at her, so he averted his eyes.

“And he pushed me away every time. I’m not pushing you now.”

“that’s…”

Her warm hand covers my mouth.

“Don’t tell me. Just listen.”

Her hand falls away, and the warmth of her lips disappears.

“I don’t know much about you. what you like and what you don’t like. And I don’t know why you’re pushing me away. However, there is something I must tell you.”

She takes a breath and opens her mouth again.

“At first I saw my mother in you. So I didn’t want to miss you. As I got to know you with that kind of heart, new feelings bloomed. I didn’t know that feeling at first, but I realized it when I saw you collapse.”

Her face slightly reddened, she paused for a moment before opening her mouth.

“I love you.”

My heart beats like it would break, and I scream loudly.

The words I’ve been wanting to hear all my life permeate, dissolve the remaining lumps, and cover the scars. The anxiety that raised my head dissipates.

The hope that had withered, the hope that had only a handful left, blooms.

“Don’t answer me. Enough to hear it later.”

She says so and turns her head. The reddish profile was lovely.

I want to tell her my heart. i also love you

I want to hug her and tell her.

I want to do that, but it’s not the time yet, so I put my mind aside for a moment.

The day her curse is lifted. I will profess my love to overflowing.

As I swear, I watch her ashamed.

“Looks like Rachel is a little late.”

Blushing, she changes the subject. I laughed at her and listened to her words.

“That worries me a bit. Would you like to go find it together?”

“You can rest a little longer. I alone am enough.”

“It’s okay since I’ve had enough rest.”

Saying that, I get up and check the condition of my body. The pain that remained in my side completely disappeared, and the dizziness was all right.

After confirming that she is in good shape, I look at her. She couldn’t stand up and was rubbing her leg.

My legs must have gone numb from keeping my head up for a long time.

reach out to her She looks at my hand for a moment and holds it.

Warmth spreads through your hands. Feel the warmth and pull with force.

He staggers to his feet, supports her for a while, and throws a question at her.

“It must have been difficult. Why did you stop me when I was about to get up?”

“Didn’t I just say that I wanted to?”

Her reddish aura still hasn’t gone away, she answers while slightly averting her eyes. The sight made me laugh again.

“It’s okay, you can let go.”

Let go of her words The hands that have lost their warmth are empty. Thinking over the emptiness, he follows her as she walks first.

The sound of our footsteps resonates in the blue cave. The sound continued, and two doors came out in front of us.

One was open and the other was closed.

We walked to the open door. After walking for a while, the feeling like a cave disappeared and it started to change into a form like the inside of a building built in an old architectural style.

And at the end of the road, a place like a library spread out, and in the middle of it, Rachel was sitting on a soft-looking chair with her eyes closed.

When I approached Rachel, she was sleeping with a small breathing sound. We laughed for a moment, then shook her awake.

Rachel rubbed her eyes and looked at us blankly.

“Brothers and sisters, when did you come?”

“I just came. You said you were coming after looking around, but you were sleeping comfortably.”

“Oh sister, that’s it. I was looking around, but the chair seemed too soft, so I sat there for a while and then stopped hehehehe.”

Rachel smiled and scratched her cheek, and Iris sighed as she saw that.

“I hope you didn’t get hurt.”

“Sister, are you worried about me?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Ah, you can’t be honest.”

Rachel laughed and clung to her, and she frowned but didn’t push away.

I was a little relieved to see that the two of them, who had been bickering every day, seemed to be a little closer.

“Rather than that, isn’t it right to tell you why you’re here?”

After thinking about her words for a while, she opened her mouth.

“This is the residence of the witch who put a curse on the princess’s family.”

“Right.”

Iris thought for a moment, then smiled at me.

“You kept pushing me away, but it seems you were thinking of me more than you thought.”

I didn’t want to answer her words just yet, so I moved to the bookshelf where the books were. I hear her laugh behind me.

Hearing that laughter, I started looking for clues that would bring confidence to the hope that had bloomed.
