Chapter 194 – The Saint’s Lips

A park in Uijeongbu.
On a bench in this deserted place, I was studying the Bible with Adele.
She was expressing with her whole body that she was upset.
He drove me to the corner of the bench and stood across from me with his arms crossed and watched me with his eyes wide open like a prison guard.
It’s a bonus that he didn’t say a word when he came all the way here.

As I read her Bible, I patted her butt as I noticed her.
Because the seats were quite uncomfortable.
Then, as if Adele had caught her case, her eyes lit up.

“Mr. Jihyeok, who has not been contacted for two days, should you focus on the Bible as you focused on your business trip?”

“I’m a bit uncomfortable…”

“You have a poor learning attitude!”

“… Genesis is finished. Please give me a transition period.”

At that, Adele pulled out one of her huge notebooks from her bag.
And then thump on my lap! I put it up to make a sound.

“Here you are!”

This one was also a sloppy bible that seemed to have been written by himself.
[Transition period] Is written in a cute handwriting.
It was the second volume of the Rosary Bible, which describes the process of spreading the doctrine in earnest after Rosario, who stabilized several planets, set the rules.
I asked, sticking out my tongue while looking at the enormous size of the book.

“Can I take a little break and see?”

“No!”

“So far, I have only read the Bible for four hours. Please look.”

“Mmm… Good. I’ll give you ten minutes.”

“According to the Labor Standards Act, 30 minutes must be given…”

“You shouldn’t be so calculating! And Mr. Jihyeok is not working! He’s taking lessons to become a higher-ranking instructor!”

“Class breaks are basically…”

“Be quiet!”

“All right.”

I clenched my tongue as if regretting it, nodding my head and leaning my back on the bench.
Then I try to spread my legs slightly, but Adele sits close to me and I can’t.

“Adele, there are plenty of seats, so please move to the side.”

She didn’t answer
I just stare straight ahead in a rigid sitting position.
I finally got up and walked towards the convenience store.
After that, Adele runs after her and asks.

“Where are you going? Please run away…”

“I’m not running away, I’m going to the convenience store. I want to buy some food.”

“Then let’s go together.”

Adele patted my wrist as she followed her.
She seemed to bump into it naturally as she walked… But it was clear that she was looking at the liver because she was eager to grab it.
I burst out with a hearty smile and grabbed her hand just in time for Adele to hit her wrist.

“Ah…!”

Adele let out a short exclamation.
I stopped and moved Adele to my side.
Her fists were small enough to fit in my hand.
It was squeezed tight, and it even made her tremble as if she was nervous.
To wield her hammer with her tiny hands like this… The end of the world.

“Shall we go?”

“…. Yes…”

Next to me was a shy girl with her head bowed down, her pouty face gone.
It was funny and pretty to see how her spirited attitude changed in an instant.
Adele walking down the street staring only at her land. I looked at her and made her one suggestion.

“Adele.”

“Why…”

“Shall we do something fun?”

“What is it…?”

Showing my teeth and smiling brightly, I placed my left foot on the side of Adele’s right foot.
Then, with some force, I lifted Adele’s right foot up a little, and then made her touch the ground at the same time as mine.
After taking a few steps, Adele, who had adapted to this 2-person 3-game, snarled and matched her stride with me.
So we walked towards the convenience store, holding each other’s hands, slowly at first, then speeding up.
It seems that the anger is all over. I feel it every time, but I like that Adele is easy to understand.

**

I felt pressure in my eyes, probably from concentrating on the Bible for a while.
It seemed like reading more would turn into a headache, so I closed my Bible and closed my eyes.
I wanted to hold her head up, but I didn’t want to wake Adele, who was sleeping with her head resting on my shoulder, if I moved.

Adele’s hand was down my waist.
Her delicate hand rested just above her groin.
Her fingernails were still white and shiny.
I don’t know which shop it is, but the skills are good. Saehwa whined that it peeled off and broke within a week… I’ll ask Adele later and let her know.

I put Adele’s hand on her inner thigh and was thinking about this and that when she woke up.
Opening her eyes, she licked her lips again, then lay down on her bench and rested her head on my lap.
Then I went back to sleep.
It’s a bonus that Adele’s black bag, which was near her shoulder, fell to the ground.
I moved her bag carefully with her feet, and I picked up the top with her hand and set it beside her bench.

‘How is it…’

I have to tell Adele how to charge her device, but I missed the timing to tell her because she sleeps like this.
I didn’t know what to do, so I straightened Adele’s hair, which was blowing in the cool wind.
Very soft hair. It’s like touching microfiber.

“Ugh…”

Not long after that, Adele was talking in her drool.
Turning her body over, she turned her face toward my stomach, mistaking her thigh for a pillow, and put her hand under her to readjust her position.

‘Driving me crazy.’

I unconsciously placed my hand on Adele’s forehead.
Her face is so small that her palms remain large.
Staying still in that state, Adele’s eyes slowly opened.

“Mr. Jihyeok…”

“Yes.”

“Heavy…”

“Sorry. Would you like to wake up?”

“I want to sleep more…”

“Shall I take you home? It will be evening soon, so the weather will be cold.”

“I’m still fine. I will go when it gets cold.”

It’s going to be a bad habit if you accept all this stupidity…

“All right.”

Adele, who responded with a satisfied look on her face, changed her posture.
In an upright position looking directly at my face.
In that state, her crimson lips opened as she looked up at me.

“I like Jihyeok.”

Why are you suddenly saying this?
Drunk with the atmosphere of a sunset evening? Or is it that the drowsiness hasn’t gone away yet, and the insides are popping out in your sleep?
It doesn’t matter. The feeling of hearing Adele’s sincere confession was truly the best.
Let’s put the calculating thoughts aside for now.

“… I’ve never felt anything like this before.”

Adele’s next words.
I asked.

“How do you feel?”

“It feels soft.”

I have no idea what that soft thing was, but it must have been a very positive mood.
I tore the corners of my mouth and vowed to follow this mature atmosphere as it is.
I slowly lowered his head as I ran a gentle sweep from his forehead to his bangs.
Very slowly, like a slug.

“…..”

Adele, who at first just felt my touch, opened his eyes wide as my face got closer.
Her breathing quickens. The sound of her snorting was clearly audible.
The situation was very unfamiliar to me and it seemed that I was intimidated.
Originally, I would have stopped here and asked Adele’s intention… But if I had drawn her knife, I would have to cut the radish.
I will do whatever I want now. I’ve given you a lot so far, so give me a reward.

When their faces almost touched each other, I spoke in a low voice.

“I like Adele too.”

“…..”

At those words, Adele’s throat swayed loudly.
I can hear the gulp from here. Even though I came this far, it seems that I have made up my mind, judging from the fact that there is no dissuade.
Without hesitation, I brought my lips to Adele’s.
At the same time, Adele’s eyes closed tightly.
I gave her her kiss, barely holding back her laughter about to burst out.

The monumental day when he first stole the lips of a saint.
The feeling was just… Soft.

**

In the car on the way home in Uijeongbu.
Adele was staring out the passenger side window, her seatbelt clenched with both hands.
I glanced at her and made her next appointment.

“I’ll stop by tomorrow evening. Come out when I contact you.”

Adele didn’t answer.
All I could do was hurriedly jog up and down her reddened face all the way to her ears.
I haven’t said a single word since the kiss until now… It must have been quite embarrassing.
When I stick my tongue out later, I don’t know if it’s because I’m freaking out and slapping my cheeks.

“Am I uncomfortable?”

She shook her head at her ensuing question.
I let out a shallow sigh and said.

“Are you driving? What if I have an accident trying to check Adele’s reaction?”

“…..”

“So, don’t answer with actions, but with words.”

“… Uh…”

“Yes?”

“Because I know…”

It was a voice so hoarse that you couldn’t hear it unless you listened carefully.
Yes… I’m grateful that you answered me.

“Would you like some candy?”

“No… Yes…”

Are you going to eat it or not?
Let’s just give I opened the console box and took out the mint-flavored candy I bought.
Soon after, a crunching sound was heard.
Judging by the sound, it seems that there are five or six of them in the mouth.
As I’m silently concentrating on driving, Adele, having finished her candy, lets out her long breath.

“Whoa…”

Mint scent gently spreads to the driver’s seat. It’s as cool as I feel right now.
Adele sighs and tightens her seat belt again.
Her trembling hands seem to represent her heart.

Fortunately for Adele, the park was very close to the house.
I stopped her car at the entrance of her outbuilding and called her.

“Adele.”

“Why…”

“Im here.”

“…..”

Then Adele looked at me as she let go of her hand from her belt.

“Mr. Jihyeok…”

“Yes, please.”

“What do you intend to do with me?”

It’s a good question to misunderstand if anyone hears it.
Besides, it’s a ulterior motive… The choice of words is so gross.
As I slightly open her mouth and make an absurd expression, Adele, aware of her mistake, hurriedly corrects her words.

“M-I made a mistake… I was going to ask what will happen to us from now on…”

“Even if the words are in vain, it has been in vain for a long time. Yes?”

“Yes…”

“I don’t think I’ll ever forget today. How is Adele?”

“I-I am the same…”

“Do you regret it?”

“No…”

Adele’s answer came without hesitation.
I burst into a pleasant laugh and asked again.

“How did you feel?”

Her shoulders twitched at the question, and Adele gave her answer after pondering.

“I think it was good… No, it was good…”

“So did I. Wouldn’t it be okay if we had no regrets and felt good about each other? I wish you well in the future.”

Adele bangs her forehead on the dashboard! And took a picture
Her face was even redder than before.
Your reaction is so pure. It’s embarrassing to be this level of embarrassing even if you talk casually… I’m going to tell you an important story from now on, but can you hold on?
After gently stroking Adele’s back, I thought of bringing up the story of Aether.
Just then,

“I-I’ll go!”

Adele screamed at her, and she slammed the passenger door open and got out of her car.
After that, he bowed his head to me and sprinted toward the front door.
I let out a devastated sigh as I looked at the heroine-like appearance of that tragic heroine.
I was going to say it face-to-face, but… If that’s the case, going home is like that.
I followed the strange atmosphere, but things went wrong.

No, it’s not messed up, it’s rather good.
If I had talked about the charging method before kissing, there would be a possibility that I would doubt my intentions when I approached him later.
Shrugging my shoulders, I set the car to automatic driving mode and then tapped my phone.
