Chapter 187: Side Story 24

Ah!

Drea.

Let go of me!

I cant. No, I cant. I cant let go.

Dreas body squirmed and kicked as Shaik hugged her.

Shaik held onto Drea with all his might, as if trying to stop her movements.

Dont run away, Drea. Please. Okay?

Why are you doing this? Youre strange, really strange!

Yeah, Im strange right now. Ive changed a bit. Ive missed you for so long, and I became a bit strange, afraid that you might leave me.

Dreas face turned red in an instant as Shaik held her tightly and casually muttered his words.

Unable to control her struggling, Drea grabbed onto Shaiks clothing.

Shaik buried his head in the crook of Dreas neck and whispered.

I was wrong. Im truly sorry for making you upset all this time.

Let go of me a little. Are you saying that I wont like you anymore? Seriously! But why are you doing this now?

With a flushed face, Drea pushed him away as she spoke.

But the more she resisted, the tighter Shaik held onto her, until her head started to spin.

Not satisfied with just holding her tightly, Shaik embraced Drea as if he wanted to engulf her.

With her breath almost being cut off, Shaik held Drea tightly and exhaled deeply as if his blocked airways had finally opened.

With his face buried in Dreas snowy-white hair, Shaik murmured.

Okay, I understand. I understand, Drea. Youyou want to push me away, right? Its alright.

What?

Its alright. From now onfrom now on, I will like you even more.

Hic. What is he saying?

Drea was taken aback, and her body trembled.

Shaiks overflowing breath and his sweet words felt so unreal.

Dreas mind was in turmoil.

Youyoure bothered by me. Theres someone you likeright? II

So, she kept blurting out words that were unlike her.

This shouldnt be happening. Shaik wasnt the kind of person to do this. Yet, he continued to hold her so tightly, suffocating her, and spoke sweet words, leaving her completely disoriented.

I was wrong. I wont be like this anymore. Never againnever again will I say such things to you. Okay? Just trust me once.

Dreas pupils shook with confusion.

Even her fingertips, gripping onto Shaiks clothes, trembled.

Shaik lifted his head and looked at Drea.

They were in such close proximity, their eyes were the only things visible to each other.

They had grown up together, side by side their entire lives, but it was the first time they had seen each other so intimately.

For a moment, it seemed like Shaiks emerald-green eyes were glistening with moisture.

Cant you trust me?

It must be an illusion.

How can I trust you? How

Cant you trust me just once?

Huh?

The desire to believe conflicted with the feeling that she couldnt trust him.

No, it wasnt that she couldnt trust him. It was simply that she couldnt comprehend the situation.

Unable to meet Shaiks gaze, Drea abruptly turned her head and muttered.

Youre really strange.

Shaik gently smiled and softly cupped Dreas cheeks in his hands.

And in an instant, Shaiks lips touched Dreas cheek.

Hic!

Wha- what the idea was this all of a sudden!

Startled, Drea exclaimed with a bright red face.

Shaik chuckled softly and spoke.

Until now, you did whatever you wanted. You touched me, kissed me, linked arms with me. You held onto me.

That that was when we were young

Were still young.

Shaiks body, pressing against hers, felt so solid that it was difficult to consider him young.

When did he grow so big like this? When did he become a grown man who looked at her with those eyes?

Without saying a word, Drea looked at him. Shaik once again kissed her cheek.

Drea, you were the one who toyed with my heart. For 17 years, you said you liked me, that there was no one else, that you loved me that I would always be by your side You made me feel at ease and tamed me.

I tamed Shaik?

Drea thought with a trembling heart.

It was a feeling she had never considered before.

Yet, at the same time, she realized that she had been truly one-sided in her feelings for Shaik all this time.

Whether he liked her or not, it was a love that brought her happiness alone.

When Drea looked at him as if asking why he was doing this, Shaik slightly smiled and held onto her cheek.

I want to do it too.

Then, he pulled Dreas cheek and their lips met again.

The two pairs of lips intertwined with the same emotions and they embraced each other with the same desire.

It was a perfect union as if they had found the missing pieces.

-Afterword-

What? Something like that happened while I was gone?

Simon returned to the palace after a few days and banged the floor while listening to what had happened in his absence.

I cant believe I missed something so interesting

He lamented with regret, grabbing his head.

Well, he did feel something had changed as soon as he returned.

For example, the sight of Shaik and Drea clinging to each other.

They had been close before, but now it was a little different from back then.

Even just now during the meal, something was off.

Drea had gathered the beans she usually disliked onto one side of her plate.

If it had been the usual Shaik, he would have glanced at it briefly and turned away, but this time it was different.

He personally picked up a fork and fed it to Dreas mouth.

You need to eat everything evenly to grow up quickly.

He said as he gently placed it into Dreas mouth. Despite making a face of not wanting to eat, she chewed and swallowed it reluctantly.

If that was all he saw, it wouldnt have been so strange.

But Shaik didnt just do it once; he repeated it until all the beans were gone.

Then he meticulously wiped Dreas mouth after she finished eating.

After that, they whispered to each other, giggling, and it looked so suspicious.

You two seem so lovey-dovey lately. Its like youre newlyweds.

Is this a request to have an engagement ceremony and a wedding?

Well, why not? Shaik will be an adult in a few days anyway.

Actually, Dreas birthday was originally later than this.

It was because Drea was born after Shaik was born.

However, when Shaik was young, he once said that he liked mature people, and since then, Drea had thrown a tantrum to have her birthday moved up.

Ive grown up as an egg, so I should be first! I was born from Moms egg!

It was a strangely convincing argument.

In the end, Kalia made an agreement and designated the day she brought Drea to them as her new birthday.

Even though there was only a difference of a few weeks, Drea was satisfied, albeit somewhat disappointed.

Well, shes cute, after all.

Simon said in a teasing voice while looking at Kalia, who was chuckling.

Surely, they cant be more like newlyweds than us, right?

Are we still newlyweds, Simon?

Simon glanced at Kalia as if stating the obvious in response to her question.

Well, were still newlyweds, arent we?

Kalia, who had been chuckling, took Simons hand and led him to the terrace.

After a long time, the two of them planned to drink wine and have a conversation until they fell asleep.

Lets have a toast.

Kalia smiled and took a sip of wine.

Uh.

Before the wine could even pass through her throat, Kalia covered her mouth and stood up abruptly.

The scent of the wine felt unusually repulsive.

Why? Kalia, whats wrong?

With a pale face, she shook her head as if something was off.

And just in case, Simon tilted the wine glass towards his lips again.

Eugh!

She immediately put down her glass and ran away.

Kalia?

As Simon chased after Kalias retreating figure, his expression gradually changed.

Could it be?

Simon hurriedly followed Kalia.

His mind was racing, and his steps were more urgent than during times of war.

And the next day.

News spread that the Kingdom finally had a second royal child.

As soon as the announcement was made, everyone rejoiced and cheered.

And at the same time, there were already rumors circulating about the second royal descendant.

According to the rumors, would the second child be a daughter or not, according to Kalia and Simons wishes?

That would be revealed about a year later.
