Bon Appetit (Manhwa)

Chapter 76

"Legion?"

"Yes."

His rough voice gently tickled her ears.

"W- what's the difference?"

The words that came out of her mouth were stuttered. Luana realized she was now nervous. Her heart began to race.

"I usually feel hungry here."

Legion touched his belly.

"The hunger I'm feeling right now is here."

He then pointed his head. Luana swallowed her saliva and put down the food ingredients in her hand.

"Is it related to the curse?"

Come to think of it; she just remembered the last time they talked about curses. Is it because the curse got worse? As she thought about it, she felt her heart pounding like crazy. Although she didn't cast the curse on her own, her mother did, so she had no choice but to be concerned because she loved him.

"Maybe."

Legion replied.

'So the feeling you felt right now not because you like me?'

Luana became a little sullen. She had expected it was because of the curse. She tried to hold back her sigh and said,

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Are you going to help me?"

She could feel Legion asking that with 'knowing what will happen?' in his eyes.

"Yes, because my mother was the one who cursed you."

Luana muffled her words and laughed awkwardly.

'The truth is, I like you so much that I won't do with anyone else.'

She wanted to shout her thoughts but didn't have the courage to do so. What if the curse gets worse and then backfires?

Legion's brows frowned. What he wanted from her was not responsible because of her mother, but what he wanted was love. He wanted to see Luana and said she would do it for him out of love. He thought what he wanted to ask was too much, so he spoke again to Luana.

"Then help me."

"What? Yes! How can I help you?"

Seeing her naive reply, Legion raised the corners of his lips, smiled, and whispered in Luana's ear.

"All you have to do is not run away."

Luana pressed down her hand, which was about to go up to her ear at any moment.

'Why is your voice like this?'

It must be his usual voice, but why does it feel so sweet? Her cheeks blushed as she listened. Luana stood still and watched Legion approach closer and closer.

'I can't miss this moment!'

Luana was so nervous that she didn't close her eyes. Legion burst out a small laugh at her.

"Why do you keep your eyes open like that?"

'To remember this historic moment.'

But she couldn't say it straight away. Luana blinked quickly and asked when she had done so. Legion had no choice but to burst into laughter again. He raised his hand to cover her eyes for Luana, who couldn't even close her eyes properly.

"Oh!"

Luana was embarrassed, but he put his lips on the lips he wanted to taste the whole time. The lips touched lightly like a bird pecked at its beak. Even though that was all, his terrifying hunger subsided.

"C- can you move your hands?"

Luana quivered lightly and asked.

"Are you scared?"

"It's not that."

Luana held Legion's hand that covered her eyes. She put it down and held his hands tight. While his face was right in front of hers, her heart pounded like crazy as if it would be popped out of her throat.

'This isn't a dream, right?'

Did our lips touch just now? Luana stroked her chest with her free hand. Then she placed her hand on Legion's cheek, who still had his head bowed. Is it just me? Legion's cheeks seemed to be as hot as hers.

Luana closed her eyes and put her lips on his lips. She felt her head tingling whenever their skin came into contact. She couldn't tell if this was real since Legion's lips were so sweet.

"What does this mean?"

Legion suddenly asked, and his smile disappeared from his face.

'Meaning?'

She tried to think what his question meant, but nothing came up in her mind.

"Was it out of responsibility?"

At first glance, she heard Legion muttering, but that was it. She still couldn't come to her senses. Then Luana, who was held in Legion's arms, thanked God. His large and hard hand gripped her waist.

"Well, whatever. I don't want to let you go."

Legion hugged her and gently stroked her hair. His touch was soothing and encouraging.

'It would be better if this weren't the kitchen! No, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the kitchen. Because we are alone!'

Luana was dying of joy. Then the night grew deeper and deeper.

"Aaah!"

Luana woke up and immediately looked at the surrounding. She was lying in a room she had never seen before. The clear sunlight was coming through the window. She jumped up and looked to her side, but no one was there.

"Ahem ahem."

Luana cleared her throat and called his name.

"Legion?"

But there was no answer. When she confirmed that no one was there, she checked her outfit. She had hoped just in case, but she was properly dressed. She expected her waist ribbon to be tied differently, or the decoration was off, but it was okay.

"Ahhh."

Luana collapsed on the spot, covering her face with both hands.

'You looked very, very skilled!'
