Chapter 183 – What Are You Doing!? #2

Adele was making as many faces as he could.
He might be angry with me, but in my eyes he just looked cute.
Alright, you should show your composure.
I said, gestured to Adele to calm down.

“I just wanted to take it off because there was tissue paper on it.”

“Wait, couldn’t it be done with words!?”

“It was because I wanted to take care of it… I’m sorry.”

“You’re taking care of me!? I am not a child! Uh, I’m canceling what I said to Jihyeok yesterday! As expected, Jihyeok-ssi also treated me as a child!”

“That is a misunderstanding. Originally, I tend to take care of others.”

After showing off that she had no other feelings, Adele bit her mouth.
I stayed still so Adele could tell her story, with the utmost remorse.
Adele, who had been breathing heavily for a while, looked at me, who was calm, and her eyes slightly softened.

“I am a grown lady. How dare you touch my hand like that. Then I can’t Please be careful next time.”

She’s not a lady, she’s just a spoiled brat.
Adele, who gave me a cute admonition, I apologized obediently.

“I apologize for what happened just now. I’m sorry.”

After that, she went straight to her words.

“But there is something I don’t understand. The last time I tapped you on the shoulder, you didn’t say anything. Why are you angry now?”

“Oh, shoulders and hands are completely different parts!”

“A hand? When I was watching the Flume Ride at the amusement park, I grabbed Adele’s wrist and stopped the water. Don’t you remember?”

“…..”

“When I was eating tteokbokki, Adele patted me on the back of my hand first as she brought up her Bible story. Don’t you remember this too? It’s today…”

“Huh…”

Adele’s eyes seem to be spinning.
The reaction is so honest and sticky that it tastes like teasing.

“You stayed still when I touched your hair or when I patted you on the back, so why did you think… You weren’t even thinking about something strange today?”

“What a strange idea! What do you mean!?”

“Ha… No.”

As he sighs and shakes his head, Adele rummages through her small book bag.
Then he took out mint flavored candy from there.
Seeing that, I burst into laughter in front of Adele.
It was so funny because I felt like I was eating it like a panacea.
Then Adele puffs up his cheeks and groans.

“Why!”

“No… It’s just candy, but it looks like you’re taking it like medicine… Whenever you ask me to pay for my sins…”

Adele, blushing at him, stutters at him.

“Well, I just eat it because it’s delicious!?”

“Is that so? Please give me one too.”

“I do not like it! This is mine, so buy it yourself!”

“That’s what I gave you.”

“You gave it to me, so now it’s mine! Today’s class is over! Take me home and see you back! I will set the time for the next class, Ji-hyeok, stay at home… No, reflect on yourself!”

I hastily covered my mouth.

Hehe…”

To ask you to take me home in an orderly tone… Don’t you usually say I’ll go alone when I’m angry?
Can’t stop laughing
Adele, furious at my reaction, put both hands on her waist.

“Are you playing a prank on me!?”

“No… No… Wheeze…”

“This person…! Go ahead, grab your bible and put your chair in! I need to go back!”

Adele points out every single thing I have to do even when I am angry.
I couldn’t stand it any longer and burst out.
Adele was glaring at me as I burst into laughter in the room, but there was no threat at all and I felt like I was going crazy.

“I want to go down first!”

Adele seemed offended, and he deliberately stomped out of the room.
I, who was in a state of tears, did not stop laughing while wiping my eyes and tidying up the room.

**

In the car going back to the annex.
Adele was staring out the window, completely slanted.
Keeping in mind what happened at the study cafe, I parted while watching Adele’s eyes.
Every time I did that, Adele hugged my school bag tightly and showed signs of discomfort.
I can’t say it in words, but I can’t stay still, so I’m complaining like that.

“Kuhm.”

Clearing my throat and clearing my throat, I apologized.

“There are so many things I am sorry for today. Sorry.”

Are you okay with the serious apology? Adele turned to me.
When I glanced at her expression in the room mirror, she seemed to have softened a little.
She said while looking at my side profile.

“I’m more sorry… I got too excited… But I have something to say. I am a saint with a bishop-level position. He is also the teacher of Ji-hyeok, a prospective follower, so I hope you will respect him.”

“I will always admire Adele.”

“Did someone like that laugh at me?”

“I wasn’t laughing. Seeing Adele clears her mind, so her laughter leaks out.”

“I was angry and clear my mind?”

“It’s not just that you’re angry, it seems that clean energy emanates from all of your actions. It has a very big impact for the good on me.”

“…..”

Adele was silent. There was a faint smile on her lips.
Hearing compliments makes me happy.
I continued.

“Thanks to you, I have strength. Thank you very much.”

As soon as I finished talking to her, I arrived at the annex with good timing.
I pulled over by her entrance and looked at Adele with a soft smile.

“You did a really good job.”

At that, Adele hesitates, then pulls out one of her candies and hands it to me.

“You did well in today’s class, so I’ll give it to you…”

“It’s okay.”

“You wanted to eat. I’ll leave it here, so eat it!”

Adele, putting candy in her cup holder, gets out of her car and bows her head.

“I will contact you! Please drive carefully.”

“Go in.”

“Yes!”

Adele came back to life and sprinted toward the front door.
I greeted her once more as she entered her house, shaking her hand and stepping on her accelerator.
Today was a really fun day. Enough to let out a satisfied smile.

@@

Adele sniffed at the fragrant aroma wafting from the living room.
It was the smell of bacon, which she loved so much.

“Are you here? Wash your hands Let’s eat carbonara after a long time. I will make it good for you.”

Sylvia said that while stirring the frying pan.
Adele replied vigorously.

“Yes, sister!”

After entering her room, she put down her bag and ran to the bathroom, where she soaped her hands and hesitated.
After staring at her right wrist for a moment, she sighed.

“Whoa…”

I was really surprised when Jihyeok held her hand.
Normally, I would have just passed on it without thinking, but right after he said he likes petite women, I got nervous… So I threw a tantrum.

To be honest, there was no need to overreact like this.
Jihyeok said he likes petite ‘women’, but he didn’t say he liked him.
It seems that he misunderstood his words at will… If the misunderstanding is correct, this incident was his own fault.
After washing off all the lather on her face, Adele banged her head.

“Ouch…”

It hit her so hard that the side of her head throbbed.
But the pain soon subsided. After all, her own body is strong.
With a body blessed by Rosario, I will fight against the demons and bring peace to the Earth!

Adele, who clenched her fists and shouted “Fighting” Inwardly, hesitated as she was about to leave the bathroom.
Because he remembered what happened with Jihyeok. She hesitated and wiped her hands on the towel.
After that, when she comes out, Sylvia, who was putting a bowl on her table, looks at Adele and says,

“I didn’t wash her hands again… Huh? Did you clean it? What is it?”

Adele rolled her own eyes and avoided Sylvia’s gaze.

“I’m going to clean it from now on…”

Sylvia stared at Adele as she sat in her seat and lifted her fork.
Adele frowned at her meaningful gaze.

“Why, why…?”

“Adele. What are you hiding?”

“…..”

“The two of us promised before we arrived on Earth to always be honest. Did you forget I am really trying to get hurt.”

Silvia nibbled her carbonara with her fork, her shoulders drooping.
Seeing her, Adele hurriedly stretches out her arms.

“Oh, sister! I was going to talk!”

“Okay? Then tell me.”

Looking at Sylvia, who quickly smiled at her, Adele let out a shallow snort and opened her mouth.

“As for what happened…”

From Adele saying that Ji-hyeok likes petite women, he told me everything that happened today without hesitation.
After hearing all of her story, Sylvia asked playfully.

“That’s what happened… Shall I scold Jihyeok? Break her arm and throw it away?”

Adele freaks out at the terrifying sound.

“Aww…Don’t do that!”

Then Sylvia giggled and knocked on her table a couple of times, and she suddenly made a serious face.

“It’s a joke. I’ve heard your story well, and as your friend, I’d like to give you some advice…”

Adele loved Sylvia, who referred to him as her ‘friend’.
Even though I’m four years older, I’m trying to treat them equally.
Of course she does play some serious pranks sometimes, but that’s also what she does to her friends.
She should listen to her advice, as she believes most on Earth. Adele pricked up her ears.

“What is it?”

“First of all, when Jihyeok said he likes petite women… This isn’t specific to you.

“I thought so too.”

“But I could have pointed you out and told you to understand my heart. And I lean a little toward the latter.”

“The latter…? Then Jihyeok-ssi…”

“Yes. It’s clear that you’re interested. Otherwise, there is no way Jihyeok would make excessive physical contact with you.”

Adele tilted her head.

“You said Jihyeok is the type to take care of the people around you. I asked for excessive physical contact first…”

“I’m talking about yesterday and today. Like what Jihyeok said yesterday, and how he removed the tissue paper from your hand today… I think it’s right to show interest in this.”

“Is that so…?”

“It’s just my personal opinion, so just refer to it and don’t blindly trust it. I don’t know much about male-female relationships. I’ve never felt anything sweet, let alone love.”

“It is the same for me.”

Sylvia nodded her head slowly.
And then she smirks.

“But did you care about Jihyeok enough to make you angry?”

“Everyone, I was so embarrassed at the time…”

“It still looks like that. Shall we eat now? The spaghetti will cool down.”

“Wait! Any other advice you would like to give? It’s like how we should treat Jihyeok in the future…”

“That is for you to decide. What if following my words yields results you don’t want? You have to think and judge for yourself. You are an adult.”

“Yeah, that’s right… I’m an adult…”

Adele stabbed the center of the carbonara with her fork.
After turning her noodles around, she opened her mouth wide and swallowed them, feeling very happy at the salty and savory taste spreading in her mouth.

“Very tasty…!”

“I’m glad. And smeared cream around her mouth.”

“I’m going to eat and clean up. I will ask again.”

“Do it.”

Sylvia, who shrugged her shoulders, also started eating the carbonara.
Adele had a casual conversation with Sylvia, ate all her food, and after thoroughly wiping her mouth, she went into her bedroom and lay down.

Tapping her plump belly, she hesitated as she picked up her phone to play her game.
Because Ji-hyeok, who was embarrassed earlier, was stepped on in his eyes.

Sylvia said that Ji-hyeok was showing interest in her… But since she has no dating experience of hers, she told him not to blindly trust him.
Adele also advised that she should think and judge for herself.
But she was scared. I’m afraid that if I make my own judgment, it will have big consequences.

‘What can I do…’

Adele, who had been staring at her ceiling for a long time and in deep anguish, thought that eventually she would have to meet and talk with Jihyeok in person.
The first thing to do is to make sure.
She immediately sent her message.

[Mr. Jihyeok! Class tomorrow! ๑•‿•๑]
