I opened my eyes in two full days.
When I woke up, I feel like it was only yesterday that I met Kim Go-dong in the parlour room at the Imperial Palace.
After I woke up, I heard it from someone else, and at first, I only thought this man was playing a prank on me.
I felt as if I had a refreshing nap for about two or three hours.
"Lady, you're really okay, aren't you?"
"I'm all right. The palace doctor also said there was nothing wrong with me."
I soothed Bessie, who had a tearful face.
When I woke up in the middle, I thought there was only Jungkook next to me, but when I opened my eyes again, it was different.
From Bessie to Butler, it was a full attendance.
Thanks to it, I had to sweat to appease those people.
It was the guest bedroom of the imperial palace where I slept for two days.
"No wonder the furniture and decorations were so luxurious.'
Sir Davery was the first to find me lying in the parlour room.
He said that it was strange that he heard the noise that he did not know occasionally, but suddenly the silence continued, so he recklessly opened the door and entered.
When he came in like that, I was lying on the floor......
'If my lady wasn't in the 'strange' state of unconsciousness, I would have cut that guy immediately.'
That was what Sir Davery told me when I woke up.
The guy he means must be Kim Go-dong.
I'm glad he was okay.
He said Kim Go-dong came up before me.
He left the imperial palace and left a letter in front of me.
[It was a short but impressive meeting. If you need me again next time, please call me anytime. I'll introduce my wife to you then.
-Brown.]
In the context of the letter, it was obvious without hearing who left it.
However, the name Brown was unfamiliar, so I tilted my head for a moment when I received the letter, which turned out to be the name of Kim Go-dong here.
Thanks to it, I got a piece of unnecessary information about Kim Go-dong.
'I can't believe it was that Go-dong.'
Go-dong......Brown.
So, if he has noble status, will he put the last name as Dark?
Brown Dark.
Well, anyway.
When I woke up from a sound sleep, it felt like a dream to meet God of Dimension.
Meanwhile, Kim Go Dong...
No, Brown's letter served as a reality for me.
'Irene.'
When I thought of God in the dimension, Irene naturally came to mind.
I pulled myself together, came out of the palace with Bessie and the others, and opened my mouth.
"Maybe Irene... Do you know what happened to Lady Grace?"
"Lady Grace?"
"She was lying unconscious with you. I heard that the lady hasn't woken up yet."
"I see."
The answer came from the butler.
I nodded.
'Was it good?'
I'm sure it went well.
It's not just anyone else.
It's from the God of Dimension.
He won't make two mistakes.
'Irene's original body that says she rolled on the stairs is bothering me, but....'
'Wouldn't God take care of that, too?
Because it's God, anyway.
I decided to believe in transcendental existence.
'Then does the real Ji-eun come back now?'
To be exact, the original soul that was asleep somewhere in the body was awakened by Irene's soul.
God of Dimensional said nothing about this, but somehow I was expecting it.
There was a basis in its own way.
If Ji-eun's soul is not left in her body, it becomes an empty shell at the time Irene's soul is taken out.
I've never seen what happens to an empty body with no soul, but it's probably almost like a corpse.
However, there was not much concern in the butler's words.
Perhaps like me, he was also expecting her to wake up soon.
Maybe when I look at her state like that, she'll really wake up.
Definitely, this time as Ji-eun Grace.
'And what happens in the future?'
Except for what has already changed, will the rest of it go according to the original fate?
I suddenly thought about it.
The future that seemed to flow around Ji-eun, who made Kim Go-dong think of writing a romance novel in his youthful period.
'.......... well, it doesn't matter to me.'
Whatever happens, if she really gets by being the main character of the world like the main character in the novel, it has nothing to do with me.
Since I've already got what I want the most.
I grabbed the hand of the one sitting closest to me in the carriage back to the mansion.
It was unusually warm.
* * *
It was before lunch that I opened my eyes at the Imperial Palace.
When I arrived at the mansion, I flew like a fly.
I don't know what God of the dimension did or not, but somehow my body was full of vitality.
After having a simple lunch, I took a walk with a relaxed body because I couldn't control my stamina and went out for a long time to horseback riding.
Then Bessie and the others seemed to be slowly dispelling their worries about my physical condition.
Maybe because I was busy with activities, the day passed quickly.
I sat on my bed and read a book in a room with a moderate light to wrap up the day.
But there was a problem.
".........Jungkook?"
"Yes."
The answer came back in a calm voice.
I left the book covered and turned my head to the side.
Jungkook sat near the bed, doing nothing, just staring at me.
"How long are you going to be here?"
My face was in a fit of rage.
Jungkook watched me like that all day today.
Even when eating, taking a walk, and even horseback riding, we hung out together and he lept his eyes open like that.
I was embarrassed in the middle and asked if he was busy with work then tried to push him into his office, but it was no use.
Jungkook remained unassuming.
And it was the same now.
We did activities together earlier in the day, but now I'm worried because he just stares at me without saying anything.
The book is out of sight, the book!
I coughed in vain after glancing down a book entitled <Good Posture and Exercise for the Waist>.
Jungkook replied casually.
"Well. Until my sister falls asleep?"
I don't point out he's calling me 'my sister' anymore.
Since that sounds like a nickname.
But that's not what matters now.
I turned the book over meticulously so that he could not see the title and then turned to Jungkook.
Then I folded my arms tightly in front of my chest.
"Until then, you won't do anything else and just watch me?"
It was already a little late to do anything else anyway, but Jungkook affirmed without blinking.
"Because I miss you."
"............do you have to stare at me all day?"
I didn't hate it or anything, but I was a little embarrassed.
It made me care about my facial expressions or behaviour.
But Jungkook gave an unexpected answer.
"Because I only saw your sleeping face before."
"Huh?"
"So I thought I want to see your awakened face for a day."
"........."
I'm speechless.
Come to think of it, Jungkook has been around since I woke up on the way back from the palace.
I haven't asked since when he's been around like that, but now I hear that he hasn't been away the whole time I fell asleep.
That's why.
Suddenly I had nothing to say.
My intention to be harsh or grumpy has also disappeared.
"You didn't wake up for a while."
"I just slept for a moment."
How long is that moment?
It's not like 30 minutes, is it?
I can't help it.
I moved my hips, moved a little to the side and banged the empty bed.
"Come here."
I need to put him to sleep.
Let Jungkook sleep here and I'll read a book.
"Get some sleep here."
"No."
Rejected.
How come, I made eye contact with Jungkook.
"Why? Just sleep for a moment."
"Lalisa."
"Huh?"
"Can I really get there and sleep well?
What are you talking about?
Why can't you sleep?
The bed is this wide......
I was thinking stupidly and soon came to my senses.
Ah.
"It's impossible to fall asleep."
"........"
"But still, should I go?"
Jungkook asked naughtily.
It wasn't exactly that tone, but it sounded like that to me.
My face turned red.
Come to think of it, the book I was opening a little while ago is good for my waist...... but.
It seemed like he pretended to be innocent about such a subject.
Oh, silly me.
Why didn't I think of this in advance?
If you're going to do this, I didn't have to let go of my energy in the day.
Regret poured in, but it was already late.
I opened my arms instead of feeling sorry for what had passed.
"Yes. Come here."
"......."
"...... what are you doing? Hurry up, my arm hurts."
Apart from the arms, my face is actually going to explode.
Then Jungkook moved.
The sheets fluttered gently as his solid body rose onto the bed.
I swallowed dry saliva, feeling the sway of the bed.
But Jungkook, who knew how to be hasty, was more nervous than I thought.
He was being careful.
What is it?
He says it in a careful way, he carefully puts me.
Yeah, actually, I'm getting irritated because of it.
The latter is the real intention.
He is rather more careful than the first time.
I don't think he doesn't like it, does he?
I was inwardly nervous and looked into Jungkook's face.
......No, I don't think that's it, but if anyone sees that look, his face looks like he's been starving for a few days.
Why are your expressions and actions so contradictory?
At the time of wonder, Jungkook opened his mouth.
"I thought about it that day."
"......."
That day......
All right, I know when it's gonna be.
My ears were burning.
Jungkook's careful touch passed my cheek, earlobe and neck, and went further down than that.
A ticklish and chilling sensation crouched my shoulders.
Breathed out little by little by itself.
The part where his fingertips touched was burning hot.
"Too thin and weak."
"......"
"I think it's going to break."
