"But there's really nothing to it."
The pine board fell apart with an incredibly loud noise. The owner stared at the powdery remnants of the forr board, mouth agape. The board had been layered above multiple boards, and it hadn't just broken–it had also damaged the boards beneath it.
I turned my head to look towards the prizes. I broke more than ten boards just now, so I could get a super large gift. When the owner just continued to stand there in shock, I headed towards the prize display.
When I saw an extra large orange fox plush that looked like Yves, I grabbed it and shook it to show the owner. The owner just nodded, mouth still open. That was an okay, right?
I threw the plushie towards Yves, who looked slightly surprised with a smirk on his face.
"It's a present."
Yves had been holding the recording device, but shifted his arms to catch the flying plush.
Yves, who almost never laughed out loud, burst into a short audible laugh. When I pulled my sleeves up higher and stretched my neck, Yves complinted and told I was cool.
When I asked to go to another ga, Yves nodded and told to do whatever I wanted. Yves held the plush between his side and his arm as he followed.
This ti, we were playing darts.
I didn't just hit the mark every ti–I ended up throwing a dart through the board. Of course, there was a bit of magic in my play, but the only ones who actually knew were Yves and . Moreover, the magic was a part of my skill set.
I had won three prizes, so I headed over to the prize display to choose.
"This is Semi's."
There was a snail plush so I grabbed it.
"And this one is Yehwan's."
I got a fruit knife for Yehwan, who liked practical things.
"And for Han Seyoo…."
I briefly looked through the prize display and found a necklace string. The place where a bead should've been in was empty. I frowned for a mont before grabbing the necklace.
When Yves asked whose gifts these were, I was flustered and said that it was for the babies. Yves tilted his head and scrunched his eyebrows as if he didn't understand, but he just nodded. It seed like he wasn't going to think too much of it.
Yves was finding incredibly amusing as I actively moved from here and there. He said sothing typical about how he was enjoying himself because I was enjoying myself. Yves walked towards and put his arm around my shoulders.
"Is there anything you want?"
Yves always gave and gave to , so I wanted to give him a lot, too. When Yves didn't put his arm way and asked, he seed to think deeply about my question as he looked forward.
Then, he soon looked down at my face with a sly smile.
"There's sothing I'd rather do instead of getting anything."
He pointed at a ga for lovers that involved a lot of touching. I don't really want to get into details.
"Denied."
When I imdiately refused it, Yves narrowed his eyes.
I was having a blast and I was yelling loudly as I played, but I felt like I was growing quieter the more I yelled.
When my body began to tire after the back-to-back gaming, we headed over to the food stands to charge up on so calories. I wanted to be a bit more expensive today, though, and decided to head over to the actual stores.
Oh, right. My past self wanted an entire chicken to myself, right? I dragged Yves over to a chicken store with . When I tried to order one whole chicken for each of us, Yves contemplated before rejecting it. I decided to order so fruit and a salad for Yves.
Before the chicken ca out, I relaxed and slumped onto the seat. I played a bit too hard just now. I felt a bit uneasy after all of it.
On the other side of the street, there was a simple rectangular mirror. My reflection was currently on the mirror. Black hair and black eyes. I felt like I had returned to my past life. And next to were other relationships I had built instead of my siblings.
I slumped over the desk and caught my breath before I looked up and stared at Yves who was sitting directly across from . Yves was staring down at the orange fox plush that I had gotten for him earlier. There was short fur on the fox's head. Yves was cleaning up the fur with his fingers.
"Did you get this fox plush for because it looked like ?"
"I don't know/"
I shrugged my shoulders at his question.
Before the food arrived, I stared briefly at Yves.
Next to my slumped over form was a water cup with precipitation drops on it. Yves looked hazy through the cup.
"You're ugly. All hazy."
"And your eyes are three tis its normal size so it's super pretty. You look like a demon."
Yves smirked, one corner of his lips hitched up higher than the other.
When I imagined how I looked from Yves' perspective, I felt like I looked pretty funny.
I stayed still to where my eyes would be three tis its size because of the curve of the cup. I stared into Yves' eyes with the cup still between us. When I blinked wide a few tis, Yves asked what I was doing.
"Wink."
When I shot a wink towards him with my eyes still three tis its size, he quietly and carefully placed his water cup back down onto the table.
Seeing how he put his water down before he drank it, he must've almost spurt out his water. Haha. My cody skills. Isn't it incredible? Yeah, it's incredible. It's so great that even Yves almost spurt out his water! Everyone stand up and clap! Shhhhhhh. A waterfall suddenly began to spray atop of my head, and a bald headed man was ditating under the water with just a towel to cover his bottom half. Dun dun……..
"Shushu, are you okay?"
Yves stretched his hand towards and pushed the cup between us away with a calm smile.
My forehead was resting on the desk as I blankly stared, mouth open. It felt like drool would co out of my mouth at any second. The only things in my mind were flower fields, morning dramas, and the cafeteria lady and her gold tooth. Wink.
"Euaugh……….. Eughhhhhhhhhh……."
Semantic satiation. My mind felt uneasy now that I was in Han Ye-an's form. There was a deer running around in my head. This was what happened after I had a day of fun. A hunter aid towards the deer and then, tang1! Egg tang2! Spicy tang!
I rolled my eyes upwards and stared at the glass cup that Yves had put aside. I looked stupid in the reflection on the glass cup. My ntal state felt like it was shattering into pieces, but I looked calm and collected on the outside.
Yves poked my cheek with the fox plush's hand. Are you alive? No. I'm dead. Blegh.
Until the food arrived, I stayed as I was, quietly flopped on the table. I had a bit too much fun earlier and now I was out of strength. I felt like a striped t-shirt just flopping under the sun.
"Yves, have you ever had a ti when you wanted to really really see soone?"
I stayed blank and confused for a while before I caught onto my train of thought and began speaking.
The food wasn't arriving, so I miserably tapped the table with my finger. I was staring at the necklace that I wanted to give Se-yoo and just burst out with a question.
Honestly, it wasn't just a question that ca out of nowhere. I really was curious about it.
"Yeah. When you went to Eric."
You didn't even appear in front of . Yves stabbed the salad that had arrived first with his fork as he glared at .
"That was too much."
Yves said as he pushed a bit of his salad in front of . I was planning on feasting on my chicken, so I pushed the salad back to him.
Yves stared down at his rejected plate of food and, dejectedly, put a small tomato in his mouth.
"Oh, there is one person."
Yves said, swallowing his salad as if he rembered soone.
Right then, my chicken arrived and my eyes wandered over there, but I told him to keep talking.
"Hadis Lunaasha."
Huggies? Like the diapers? I tried my best to calm down my raging brain. I wanted to slap my face to get it together, but it sounded like it would hurt. Instead, I tried to imagine myself slapping my face instead. Slap.
"Lunaasha?"
I cald my thoughts and spoke. I was a bit surprised to hear that his last na was the sa as Yves'.
"He was kind of a close friend and my brother."
When I tried to listen to him instead of eating my food, Yves told to eat as he placed the fork in my hand. I stabbed the white at from the chicken.
"Do you rember how I disguised myself when we went into the guild leader's estate that ti? You took on this form and I had red hair."
At Yves' words, I frowned as I tried to rember the past.
It was a few years ago. It was before we headed over to the estate, and we had changed our forms and had promised to et near the city.
When you use a disguising spell, if you don't have a specific image in mind, your appearance shifts to the person who had the most impact on you.
That was when I had constant dreams of my past, and I had thoughtlessly activated the spell and had ended up with the appearance of my past self. Yves, who didn't have magic, just said that so random person in his mories had popped up.
Yves had been a bit taken aback at his changed form at the ti. I rembered.
When I told him I rembered as I nodded, Yves continued to speak.
"That form was Hadis Lunaasha."
Hadis Lunaasha was the person that Yves had turned into?
When I blinked in surprise, Yves raised one corner of his mouth.
"He was a loud hyung who was filled with laughter. Even though he's basically dead now."
I frowned at his confusing words. I waited for a mont before carefully asking what he ant.
"He's just stupid enough and smart enough. That's why."
Yves stabbed a small apple slice covered in dressing before growing quiet, as if he was rembering him.
"Even though I hate how he betrayed because he wanted to live, I do miss the relationship I had with him before it all."
When he spoke of betrayal, Yves' expression was dark.
"When I thought about that person, all I could think about was how much I hated him. Now that I have a bit more ti to think in my life, I feel like I can understand Hadis. I have a lot of regrets, too. Maybe if I trusted him more, the situation could've changed."
Yves muttered, as if speaking to himself. He rested his chin on his hand and touched the orange fox plush on his knee.
At Yves' extrely personal story, I beca a lot calr and solemn.
I didn't know the mories Yves had with this person nad Hadis, so I didn't completely understand what he was saying. He looked miserable as he recounted his mories with this person, so I couldn't ask for more stories, either.
I didn't feel like eating now so I just stabbed at the chicken with my fork when I suddenly beca curious about sothing.
"But if you turned into Hadis back then, doesn't that an that it was really dangerous for you to have appeared in front of the guild leader back then?"
At my question, Yves pulled his arm back from under his chin and turned his gaze towards . Then, he slowly nodded.
"Yeah. So I was honestly kind of taken aback. As you know, I don't have magic so I couldn't just change my form so easily."
When he tapped the surface of the glass cup with his finger, a half-lted piece of ice swirled in a half-circle.
"Honestly, I already took care of Hadis even before the guild leader could see his face. I planned ahead just in case he would notice, though, so I sprayed so mind confusion spray on just so he wouldn't be able to rember, though."
Yves said, shrugging his shoulders. He took a sip of water. When I asked if Swanhaden was the one to provide him with the spray, Yves nodded his head. His face was annoyed as he nodded. He really didn't like Swan, did he?
"So, Shushu, who's the person that you want to see?"
Yves narrowed his eyes as he changed the subject. Yves said that this was sothing that had been bothering him for a while as he stared down at the necklace in my hand.
"But there's really nothing to it."
