[Physis' POV]
Ahhhhh
In my field of vision, Adilun was completely frozen. Looking at she was just clenched her hand wrapped in the towel. Her trembling pupils showed how flustered she was now.
She didnt even think about closing the bathroom door and appeared to be in complete panic.
I imdiately tried to look away, but I couldnt take my eyes off her, as if I was in an irresistible fascination.
After coming out of the bath, her slightly flushed and immaculate skin caught my attention first. Unlike the slightly heated skin around her shoulders, her red-hot face was so lovely, and her wet hair seduced more fatally than any other charm.
My heart was beating wildly to the point where I couldn't control it, but I sohow endured it with everything thing I have and turned my head. I knew that I could never forgive myself if I did anything inappropriate to Adilun at that mont.
I-Im sorry!
...
Perhaps coming to her senses from my hasty apology, Adilun quickly snapped back and went back into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
Adilun...?
Yes... Yes.
Im sorry! Really, it wasnt sothing I intended to do.
Okay, its okay. But Im also very confused Physis?
Yes!
Could you please give my clothes I an can you bring them?
What do you an clothes?... I-I an what clothes are you talking about?
That, the thin clothes that I wear to sleep. They should be on the bed. Could you please bring them to ?
Alright, Sure.
When I moved my stiff body and looked at her bed, there was a thin nightdress.
I picked up the nightdress and headed towards the bathroom, where Adilun was waiting. Oddly enough, I felt my body stiffen.
I knocked on the bathroom door.
Adilun? I brought your pajamas.
Ah yes.
The door opened, and she quickly took the nightdress from my hand, holding out her arm, still wrapped in a towel.
And the door closes again.
I sat down on the couch in her room, exhausted.
The image of Adilun I had seen earlier lingered in my mind, and perhaps because of that, I felt that my body was not under my control.
I knew that I had to be careful, or else I might act on my impulses. I decided to stick to the main topic for the day and leave her room as soon as possible.

[Adilun's POV]
The heat spread throughout my body, leaving feeling bewildered.
I had anticipated his arrival, hence why I left the terrace door open, but I had not expected him to co so soon.
A mix of embarrassnt and sha ran through my body, causing my body to stiffen as I struggle to figure out what to do next.
The heat on top of my head was so intense that I threw off the towel I wrapped around my body and pour cold water over my body.
A splash of cold water at least got things working, so I wrapped myself back in a towel and asked Physis to get my pajamas.
After swiftly snatching my pajamas from his hand exposed through the crack in the door, I quickly put on my pajamas and opened the bathroom door.
As I walked out of the bathroom with a sowhat awkward gait. I saw Physis sitting on the sofa in my room, closing his eyes as if ditating.
Ah, Physis?
Oh, Adilun. You are done.
Yes.
With that, the conversation ended. An inconceivable awkwardness lingered between us.
To be honest, I didnt know what to say in this situation.
I was sure there were people who didn't consider it a big deal to show their bodies to their fianc. But that was only true in very close betrothal relationships.
There was no choice but to be different from those who fell in love from the beginning and beca engaged.
Physis and I were just getting to know each other, and I was just starting to feel affection for him, so it was all too sudden.
I
Yes
Ah. Mmm, you tell first...
These are the contents recorded today. I think that they'll probably be of great help to you, Adilun.
Saying that, Physis handed over the magic tool to .
I nodded my head with a slightly stiff gesture.
Thanks. I will check this separately later.
And again there was an awkward silence.
'What am I supposed to say? What can I do to get past this situation casually?'
Adilun, sorry. I didn't know you were taking a bath
Physis handed an apology with a serious expression as if he had made up his mind to apologize.
At that, I waved my hand and told him.
Oh no! its okay. Yes really. It was unavoidable... It was sothing that no one should have noticed So its okay.
still
You dont have to be like this. And you even apologized right away.
uh
Hmm... and we are in an engagent relationship anyway. So its okay.
I started talking gibberish to the point where I couldnt tell what the hell I was even talking about.
'What the heck I was just spat out!?'
Realizing that I imdiately covered my mouth as if I had made a mistake.
But my word seed to do sothing in Physis.
Its an engagent relationship, so its okay?
Physis's eyes suddenly flashed dangerously, as if his rationality was slipping. I realized that I had answered sothing wrong.
Suddenly he grabbed my wrist violently. A slight pain rose in the side of my wrist, and my expression frowned.
If I were to do this, would you still say it was okay?
Thats
I couldnt say anything If I gave the wrong answer here, I thought it would go a long way. An inner conflict crept into .
I didn't know if he likes or not.
Judging by the look in his eyes now He was clearly craving now. Those slightly unrestrained eyes were eyes that I had never seen from him before.
Honestly, I was glad he liked . It made feel like a woman with charm.
However... The problem was that I couldnt tell if he was simply physically or ntally lusting after .
I didn't want him to lust after just for my physical appearance.
I hated it. I wanted him to love and respect for who I was.
We were finally able to look forward, having washed away our hatred and contempt for each other, and in the process, I felt like I had fallen in love with him all too soon.
It wasnt sothing I hated. Because liking and being able to love soone ant that I was a normal person. It ans that I had enough room in to hold soone in my heart.
Ever since I realized I liked him, a pleasant thrill always stayed in my heart. Of course, this pleasant excitent beca an unbearable fla when he danced with another woman or had a friendly conversation, but I still wanted to hold this excitent.
I hoped he also got as excited to see as I feel. It was not just because I was a fiance tied to an arranged marriage, but I wanted him to desire ntally as much as he does physically.
Therefore... ...Not right now. I hoped there was at least so chance that he loves . If that was confird, I would be able to surrender myself to him without hesitation.
Perhaps he interpreted my long silence as negative due to his worries, he removed his hand from my wrist and imdiately apologized.
Im sorry for behaving violently. But I needed to say this, Adilune.
What?
I felt a slight sense of disappointnt welling up inside .
I decided to accept that disappointnt as well. This disappointnt must be proof that I liked him that much.
Please dont just say its okay. Because your body is precious. When you don't want sothing, I want you to shake your head and say no. I'm an idiot, so it's really hard for to understand people's feelings. I might cross the line if you don't deny it. And that... will hurt both of us.
He gently stroked the wrist he was holding, which began to tingle. The pain disappeared as if washed away, and strange sha and heat began to fill its place.
"Anyway, I'd like to talk more, but I don't think I can. I'm sorry, Adilun. Rest well."
I nodded. I knew that too. Now, if we dragged out more ti here, we would definitely cross the line.
He slipped out of my room through the door on the open terrace.
I watched him quietly, and he climbed the wall with mysterious movents, and then went back to his room.
Left alone, I could only sigh.
With obvious regret It was such a sigh.
Unbeknownst to , I must have hoped that he would covet .
A heat that wouldn't go away even with cold water began to spread throughout my body.
The fact that he wanted ... ...overjoyed . The heat in my body beca so strong that I began to shiver.
I probably won't be able to fall asleep easily tonight.
If, after the deadline, when I first ask him Is he and I in love?'
Please, I just hope so...
