In fact, the owner of the flower was decided from the beginning, so there was nothing to worry about. I have to give it to him. You agreed to join the banquet in exchange for the gift. Even if I looked like this, I was a law-abiding citizen of the Republic of Korea.
"Here."
Now, the entrance fee.
I gave Belial a white flower with a nervous face. Still, His Highness the Crown Prince is a shame if he doesn't receive a single flower.
"I will give it to you as promised."
Belial's eyes widened and a gentle smile appeared. It was a delicate and fluid look that seemed to melt anyone who touched it.
"Thank you."
What, even if you are so moved by a single flower. It's not a surprise.
Belial cut the stem of the white flower in half, shortened it, and inserted it into the front pocket of his tailcoat at an angle. When I asked why I didn't wear a corsage, it seems that I left it empty to do this. Child, look at the plan.
"Blake's respect for Young-Min is a new feeling."
Belial turned his head slightly and said to Kyle, "Isn't it?"
Seeing him slight in the ass, he seems quite excited. Is it me? Is it a child? Let's laugh excitedly at a flower and raise the medicine?
Kyle bluntly replied to Belial's question.
"Congratulations."
It was a voice that didn't really congratulate him at all. Even those red eyes were looking at me, not Belial. As if he was quietly looking at me.
Why? You received a lot of anti-aircraft charges. The basket is full. So give up just one flower. Just a flower.
"What?"
Kyle pointed his index finger at me, or rather, my hand.
In my hand, I held a red flower that I hadn't given to anyone yet. While others handed the flowers to someone and asked me to dance, I just stood still.
He said that this flower symbolizes 'dear love'. There must be someone dear to me. Even when I was Bae Su-hyun, I was building a great wall of love with each other.
"I won't give it to you."
I said it bluntly.
What is it that makes me look at you? I don't give it. This is mine.
But to make matters worse, Belial is also looking at me with an expectant expression. It was because he saw that Sen had given both of his flowers to Kyle.
If you're going to give it to me, are you asking me to give you this? Brothers are pairs, and they have no consciences. Don't compete with flowers, you guys.
"..."
But I really don't want to give it to you. However, the Grand Duke and the Prince were watching at the same time, and it was a bit humbling to keep quiet.
Shouldn't we skip it a little? I hope you will remove the competitive look. I sighed heavily and put the red flower in my mouth.
No one will give it to you. It's mine.
"Hmd is a pleasure sudden. Zgrg."
...Well, the pronunciation was a bit leaky.
Even if you say it like a dog, you can understand it like a. I shook my head as if I were chasing a petty vendor. Get away from me! Go dance!
"Fuha, haha. Ahaha."
At that moment, Belial laughed out loud.
"Everything you do is so ingenious. I didn't know there was such an interesting person in the North."
Sparks flew from Kyle's eyes. Then he strode up between Belial and me, and held out a red flower to me.
...What? Wait, you offered flowers?
"I'm going to ask you for the first dance of the day."
Wait a minute.
"The music is about to start. Do you know how to dance?"
Wait a minute!
Hey! This isn't it! What kind of dance do you apply for? I can't even answer because I'm biting a flower!
Before I could say anything, Kyle grabbed me by the arm. As I walked, I was on the dance floor, and there were curious eyes from all directions.
...Yes, it would be strange. Kyle Blake, the owner of the banquet hall, chose an unidentified man as his first partner.
It's ruined.
"Tsutsuven, that is, sudg."
I've never danced. Let it go, man.
Of course, the grains didn't work either.
"Ugh. Zug srum."
Why do you want to dance with me? There are a lot of people over there!
Even though he gritted his teeth tightly, Kyle understood it instantly.
"Why are you dancing? You are the only one out there who... many."
Kyle leaned slightly toward me and whispered low.
"Isn't it my companion?"
...Ah, damn life. I recognize this.
I wanted to answer something, but I couldn't because the flowers were in the way. When I put it in my hand again, he naturally took my hand and wrapped it around my waist, and I couldn't do it because he held the other hand with my big hand.
Soon, we and the other people on the dance floor started spinning around like puppets in a music box.
I danced to the beat of a cheerful waltz... He stepped on Kyle's feet. But it can't be helped. You must have danced before. I felt like I was going to break my legs when I tried to keep up with his speed.
Crack.
Eventually, I stepped on his foot again. I stepped harder than before, but he didn't even hurt. What if it hurts? Be patient.
"What was he thinking when he said that?"
"..."
His companion! Companion like an enemy! This snout is the problem! Why did you say that, Bae Su-hyun!
I stepped on his foot. This time, it was intentional.
"Speaking of which, you look strangely like someone I know."
Now Kyle wrapped around my waist and made me put my feet on top of his feet. Then he started walking calmly.
...Isn't it heavy?
Thanks to that, it was comfortable. I just have to stick to him.
Of course, I was worried that the distance was a little closer than before, so sometimes his bangs brushed against my forehead as he looked down, or his breath tickled me.
By the way, who looks alike? Where are the features that resemble me as an Asian among the Westerners with long arms and legs?
...You didn't think of me when you saw the hamster, did you?
Oh, no matter what, I'm still trying to be so sensitive. It's different from the race. I just wonder if there's someone in Blake's territory who looks as fierce as I am.
"Is it rude for people to imagine such things?"
Kyle chanted in a low voice.
...Ah, you bastard. It's like a ghost.
"So, the answer?"
His voice was cold. It was polite, but the pressure inside could not be ignored. I felt the blood draining out of my body and trembling.
I reflexively flinched.
Even if I try to answer, I don't have anything to say. What are you going to say? I tried to say that I was your pet hamster, you can't do it, can you?
And this flower, this flower like an enemy! It's good if you don't drool on your shoes. Don't tell me. I can drool a lot.
"That's a sudden."
That's just a joke.
Jock, Jock. Don't you know the joke? Don't pry around, just understand it.
"It's a joke."
Kyle's eyes narrowed. It was so sharp that it was impossible to tell whether it was smiling or threatening.
"I have to take the flowers now."
My head got closer.
At that moment, I forgot that this was on the dance floor. When he filled his entire vision, he couldn't even hear the music that had been strangely loud.
It was a strange feeling, as if there was only me and the man in the whole world.
"..."
Kyle's movements seemed slow. His face tilted slightly, close enough to touch his forehead, and he was close enough to fathom the black lashes that had fallen down...
Just as he was about to kiss, he took the red flower from my mouth.
"Hey, this, what..."
I didn't cut my nose with my eyes open, but I opened my eyes and took away the flowers. What the hell is going on here?
Before I could say anything, he gently pushed me around and spun me around. As I spun around to the sound of the violin, he grabbed the flower stalk with one hand, cut it in half, and inserted it into the front pocket of his tailcoat at an angle. Just like Belial did earlier.
Kyle, who had done it skillfully in just one lap, took my hand again. As soon as his body leaned forward and staggered, he stepped on his feet again. I dance well and dirty.
"What are you going to do if it is rumored that the Grand Duke likes men?"
I don't know if the road is blocked and the North will become noisy.
Kyle replied casually to my quivering question.
"I can't afford to have a child and start a family like anyone else."
"Aren't you the lord here?"
"The North is not bloodlined. Only a strong power governs the North."
"Oh, yes, do you..."
I replied in a distraught tone and then shut up altogether. Let's not talk, don't talk.
"What's your name?"
"Shuyo. Shu."
I replied dryly and looked around.
The first song had already ended, and those who were looking for a dance partner were moving a little more actively. And in the gap were Belial and Sen.
Hey, system. How long is the loading time left?
[After 10 minutes, 'load' will be lifted.]
...What?
Hey man! It's not enough!
Ten minutes is not enough time to push Kyle and run out now.
[Would you like to use the 'Nut Shop'? ( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧]
There is no choice. I sighed heavily and found what I had seen earlier.
[Lasting Acorn Cookie | Miracle Consumption 1% | 'Load' Time Extended by 1 Hour]
A small cookie slipped into my pocket.
It looks like a real acorn.
Without hesitation, I opened the package and put it in my mouth. ...It tastes like acorns. It's subtle...
"Then, I'll play just one song. As you know, I can't dance well..."
"It doesn't matter. I don't want to lead that much."
Belial bent down and held out a hand to Sen. Apparently, before the second dance song started, the two of them were about to go up the dance floor.
...I can't do it.
My anxious gaze flew to the chandelier.
Oh, I really can't.
There is no choice this time as well. Dirty life. I held out my hand to Kyle.
"One more dance with me, Your Highness."
Let's play one more game, man.
