Was I seeing things?

I just stood there blankly, Levi quickly jumped off of Ignite to check on me.

“Are you hurt? Let me see.”

“You…”

He sounded like a human being.

No, that wasn’t what was important right now. 

I grabbed the cheeks of the approaching Levi with both hands. Then his hot cheeks got warmer and warmer.

Oh my, he was real, wasn’t he?

“You, you, why are you here?”

I didn’t even hear he was on vacation.

Levi, who had been staring at me, replied meekly with both of his cheeks covered.

“…Because you said.”

“What?”

“Because you wanted to see me.”

My head creaked like a millstone.

He was saying, I mean.

“You came because I said I wanted to see you? It’s still the middle of the semester.”

Nod

At that small, but determined nod, my heart warmed.

It was similar to when the wolves ran to my whistle and rubbed up against me, but it was completely different. 

‘Hmmm, I have to teach you that it’s not the same. I wish I knew how to reply cleanly.’

I tried hard to come to my senses after smiling. 

Although I was physically young, I was obligated to lead my little husband on the right path as his mental elder. 

“Hey, won’t there be a cost if you do this? Aren’t you going to get disciplined next semester or something?”

“Probably.”

“Huh, what to do? Maybe if you turned around…”

“I’m not going.”

Levi snapped at my words, then avoided my eyes. 

Like a puppy that had an accident, and didn’t want to be scolded.

When I didn’t say anything and stood there with a blank expression, he wondered what I was going to say, as he glanced around and repeatedly avoided my eyes.

“…Ha.”

Even though I tried to hold it in, I finally laughed. 

Ha, he was like a dog. Even though he looked like a cat.

Perhaps if Levi had ears and a tail, they’d be drooping like wet laundry right now.

Oh, come on. Was school so important? Being a married couple was more important!

Eventually I said with a big smile.

“Yeah, let’s just be together!”

For a long time if possible.

Until we could add ‘Happy Ending’ to our keyword.

“Levi Bastion.”

“Yes.”

Levi replied calmly to Wolfgang’s voice, which was lower than usual.

He was clearly the one who should be scolded, but I was the only one who was paying attention.

“The end of the semester is still ten days away, but you came rushing home as soon as you finished the exam?”

“But he was done with the exam, right?”

“Don’t take sides.”

I’d stepped in thinking it was time, but I ended up zipping up my lips.

Nevertheless, my round eyes were wide. I was worried that Levi would be scolded too much. 

When it came to Levi….

‘You’re telling me not to.’

Wolfgang swallowed the laughter that tried to escape. 

What a raw feeling.

I wanted to show that his eldest son’s wife was worried about him until the very end. 

“You’re on probation for a week. Don’t come out of your room, and do some self-reflection.”

I brightened up at Wolfgang’s sentence.

He didn’t come out of his room very often anyway, so it was an obvious thought to be relieved that it ended at that. 

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end to Wolfgang’s grumpiness.

“Of course, no one is allowed to visit.”

As soon as he added that, Levi’s brows crumpled up.

Wolfgang really wanted to hold onto his belly, and burst out laughing.

“I object.”

“Dismissed.”

He smiled brightly, and drove the children out of the office.

His days had been tiring and tedious without his wife, when something interesting happened thanks to that white cotton ball.

“Did you get scolded a lot?”

Benjamin, who was waiting outside the door, asked cautiously.

I shook my head, but Levi’s position seemed different.

I was glancing at him, who was clearly feeling low, and took his hand. 

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to your room, okay?”

That alone seemed to fade the black aura around Levi. 

I left behind the astonished Benjamin, and led Levi away.

“A week isn’t long. Summer vacations are long. You have nine weeks. Still, I’m really glad you passed all the exams…”

I’d been talking soothingly, when I looked back at Levi, who was following.

Wait, no way.

“Was it because I told you to do well on your exams?”

He nodded again this time.

At the honest Levi’s head gesture, I cracked down on the corners of my mouth and tried to pout again. 

“Why didn’t you reply to me when you were so obedient?”

Levi was about to answer me, but stopped.

Actually, he’d tried to write back every night, but the more he reflected on Aisha’s letter, the more he couldn’t write anything about it… 

‘Words are dangerous.’

While he took his final written exam, Levi suddenly realized.

The power and weight of the words that he thought would be perfect if he just said the front and back like a set sentence.

“We’re here.”

Before I knew it, I was in front of Levi’s room, and I said this regretfully.

“Go in.”

“….”

“Hurry up. You shouldn’t get in trouble.”

I’d stopped talking, which puzzled Levi.

Rather than letting go, I thought that the hand he was holding was hurting a little.

Of course, it was a shame that we’d be away from each other for a week…

“Wait. Think about it. It’s just that you can’t get out of your room, and I can’t get in, right?”

To Levi, the little girl who wielded power and weight that was bigger than a horse, smiled.

“Don’t worry, there are many ways to date.”

***

“Now! Let’s eat a madeleine! Ah, do it!”

“….”

“What do you think? It’s good! Feed me, too!”

“….”

“No, don’t throw it.”

I was surprised and reached towards him due to the many times I had witnessed his odd behavior of tearing up the lawn with the cookies prior to this.

Fortunately, Levi, who’d been holding the madeleine above his head, put it down. 

Feeding someone sweets needed some more training.

I sighed, and put the madeleine that was on my plate in my mouth.

Then I looked up with maximum adoration with my chin on my hand. 

At my fiancé on the balcony on the second floor. 

‘Have you heard of it, remote dating?’

Levi was on his balcony, and I was on the back lawn.

It was a date in which each person sat down at a table with the same refreshments set up, and enjoyed it leisurely. 

Then I did my homework or read a fairy tale book, and Levi would watch me. 

I mean, this was pretty fun. Even though there’s a sense of distance, it felt like we were facing each other. 

Wolfgang passed by and complained once, but there was nothing he could do about it.

“…Do you know the meaning of self-reflection?”

“You can’t even drink tea when self-reflecting? I haven’t broken Father’s word.”

Look, Levi didn’t come out of his room, and I didn’t go in. We were doing what he said. 

With such a brazen comment, Wolfgang shook his head and retreated.

By the way, he didn’t seem to have much intention of scolding Levi either. Wouldn’t he know if we were doing something wrong?

On the other hand, there was a person who was openly interrupting us.

“Can this old lady here eat a madeleine?”

Taylor, who appeared at the table, opened her mouth with an ‘Ah’.

When I gave her madeleine, a small noise came from above.

Like something was breaking.

“Oh, my. This tastes so good. I thought I’d never taste this again in my life.”

Was that so? It was delicious, but it was an ordinary madeleine. 

Taylor grinned like a witch. I tilted my head, wondering what was so much fun. 

That was when Hugo and Winston showed up and took her back. As if they were cleaning up bugs from the table. 

‘It’s obvious that you three are old friends.’

Maybe that’s why I watched the back of the comfortable mix.

“…What are you thinking?”

Levi asked, as he waved his hand in the air as if there was something on it.

Hmm, just…

“I wish we could get old like that.”

He responded without hesitation, then took a sip of cold tea. I raised my head again.

“Levi, did you just…”

Did he just laugh?

When I only moved my mouth, he turned his head as if to ask what was wrong.

As usual, there was no major change in his expression.

But obviously, I saw it. The eyes and lips that moved slightly.

“…And you?”

“Hmm?”

“What was Levi thinking?”

Levi, who was pondering my question, slowly opened his mouth.

“I hated this place, but I don’t think that anymore.”

Here. The townhouse. Where he lost his one and only mother.

After choosing my words for a while, I looked up into his eyes and spoke clearly.

“It will continue to be the case.”

“….”

“I will only make good things for you.”

I smiled as I said this.

Would Levi understand?

At this moment, he answered ‘Yeah’. His answering lips and reddish-black eyes imitated me precisely.

***

“Prisoner number 282, release.”

Squeak

Finally, a week had passed, and Levi walked out through the wide open door.

While I wiped away my emotional tears, I handed him a square of ricotta cheese. 

“Here, eat this.”

“Why…”

“There’s something like that.”

I don’t think there’s tofu here. Eat this instead, and never sin again. 

[Baset: Apparently newly released prisoners in Korea eat tofu as a promise not to commit crimes again. Explanation here.]

Benjamin appeared just as he tried to tear off a corner of the cheese by himself. 

“Oh, there you are. The academy has come to a decision.”

“What did they say?”

“First, it seems that the number of unexcused absences will be reflected in the grade, and disciplinary action will be given to the extent of school volunteer work in the next semester.”

That was a predictable answer.

I said with a sigh.

“Levi Bastion’s record at the top was probably broken.”

“Yes, he’s in second place.”

‘You’re so cool!’

“What bad luck!”

Oh dear, the dialogue was split.

But you know what? I couldn’t believe he was still in second place even though he was absent without notice for ten days. If it was like this, the person who took the top rank must be in a tight spot. 

“…I’m proud of you anyway. Shall we go play now?”

“You must see his Excellency before that.”

Oh, why again? Even though the suspension was over.

When Levi and I looked up at the same time, Benjamin made a strange face.
