142 – Pincer #2

“Wait… What did I just say?”

Mirna asked me as if surprised by her own words.

So I repeated the surprising thing she just said.

“Mirna-nim mentioned that you’re becoming obsessed with me.”

“Why did I say that?”

“…….”

Even if you asked me, how would I know?

If there was one thing I’d definitely noticed, it was that Mirna’s condition had gotten more unstable than I thought.

Was she having some mental turmoil?

There must be a reason why she was repeating herself, and did or said things that Mirna Draco normally would not have.

And one of the reasons was probably the incident that happened in the secret room a few weeks ago.

Mirna let out a sigh, “Hu….” How many times had Mirna sighed today, five times?

Then she said as if she had finally gathered her thoughts.

“I know that controlling a man is wrong and selfish.”

“Is that so?”

“Men like women who are bubbly and cheerful. Just like Narmi. Someone who looks like she came out of a fairy tale.”

I’d noticed it before, but Mirna seemed to have some envy towards her twin sister, Narmi.

Feeling envious of others’ strengths that one lacked was a natural emotion of humans. Sometimes, it could even serve as motivation for personal growth.

However, in cases where one got consumed by frustration like Mirna, comfort and restraint were necessary.

So I said.

“When I saw Mirna-nim, I thought she was a fairy from a story.”

“Me?”

“Yes. You are cool, lofty, proud, confident and responsible.”

“Heueung.”

Mirna’s reaction was bittersweet.

Perhaps I went overboard with the compliments.

Aira and Elga would be pleased whenever I praised them, so I thought Mirna would be the same, but it didn’t seem like it.

“Hmm… What about other impressions?”

I added various more explanations in response to Mirna’s question.

I mentioned things like her mysterious aura or her noble way of speaking, to which Mirna chuckled as if she was in a good mood, “Huhu.”

“You have a good eye, Theo Gospel.”

As expected, no one would dislike compliments.

Then Mirna went on to say.

“When I first saw you, I actually felt strange. It felt like I had met you somewhere before.”

“Really?”

“Yes. And even though we haven’t met that much, I felt a familiar feeling as if we had already met multiple times. It was the same back then, at that time-.”

“ ‘At that time,’ what do you mean?”

“Well, you know, that time….”

Mirna was hesitating to say ‘that time’.

As I calmly waited, still holding her hand, Mirna finally said, as if she had found resolve in her heart.

“That time, amidst the blooming flowers, when you, Theo Gospel, when you kissed me.”

“Ah, that time. I apologize for taking such liberties and causing you great anger.”

“That’s right. Still, how should I say it? It felt familiar, as if I had already experienced it.”

“…….”

… Well, that was probably because I already kissed your sister, Narmi, before.

However, Mirna, who had no way of knowing that, said, “I’ve shared something embarrassing.”

She still considered kissing and physical intimacy ‘shameful’. As she usually wore a confident figure, seeing her acting shy at times like these was cute.

So I asked with a mischievous tone.

“Then, how about that time?”

“What time?”

“When we were trapped in the secret room. When Mirna-nim and I became husband and wife.”

“… Why, why are you asking such a thing…!?”

Mirna was startled. Fortunately, there was no one on the second floor. Because if someone was here, we would’ve been stared at.

Mirna also seemed to have noticed it and asked in a lower volume.

“Why are you asking such a thing?”

“That’s because, I’m curious. I enjoyed it. It felt like Mirna-nim and I really became one. So I’m hoping that Mirna-nim felt the same.”

“…….”

Mirna didn’t say anything. She simply turned her head towards the screen and avoided my gaze.

Her ears, peeking out her silky hair, turned a deep shade of red, tempting me to bite it with my lips.

Of course, I didn’t do that.

After all, Mirna would get angry if I touched her body freely.

* * *

The café date with Mirna ended with a light gesture of holding hands.

In my heart, I wanted to do more than just that, but breaking through Mirna’s guard proved to be more difficult than I had anticipated.

There was a certain firmness within her as if we hadn’t already been intimate before.

If I couldn’t find a way to loosen that knot, the entire conquest of the Draco Family would forever remain distant.

It was not an easy task.

I let out a sigh at the daunting challenge.

Then, someone lying next to me slowly sat up. The smooth figure illuminated by the faint moonlight coming through the window was dazzling.

“Why are you sighing so much? You’re asking for bad luck.”

Elga asked as she tied her hair back. Thanks to this, her immaculate breasts and pure white armpits were exposed.

I looked at her and simply replied, “It’s nothing.”

Because if I were to tell Elga, “I’m having trouble conquering Mirna,” she might just dislocate my jaw.

“How boring~.”

Elga laid back on the bed as if she had lost interest.

“Ah.”

Then, as if something came to mind, she wrapped the blanket around herself, got up, and opened the refrigerator in my room.

Deolkeok, giiik.

She was treating my room like her own…

“Do you have anything to drink?”

“I only have water.”

“You should buy some beers and put them in. Go buy some, alright?”

Elga gulped down the water. It seemed that she was thirsty from the intense ‘work out’ session we just had. This also made me thirsty.

“Please save me some.”

“Eung? I already finished it all.”

“…….”
