My Dream is to Get My Own House

* * *

I opened my eyes as I confronted the terrorist.

“Calm down and let’s resolve this through conversation. Conversation!”

I took a step back subtly.

It was an attempt to quickly approach the door.

But…

“Don’t move.”

He turned around.

The insane spy magician licked his tongue with a wicked smile and his sword.

“Now, shall we start killing?”

Thud.

Even if my body got slashed, I had to get out.

At the moment my foot hit the door.

The spy’s sword sparkled and gleamed before my eyes.

With my eyes tightly closed, I prepared myself for the pain that would come.

It’s okay!

After dealing with the pain and stopping the terrorist, I’ll get the penthouse!

Once Duke Saboia recovers, he’ll treat me and give me the capital city’s 10 billion gold mansion…!

But it was precisely when I closed my eyes, fully prepared for everything.

Whoosh.

With the sound of the wind, the door shook, opened by someone I didn’t know.

At that moment, I had a sudden realization.

“What, what is this? Why isn’t it hurting?”

I opened my eyes wide.

At that moment, the crazy magician’s sword that had been aimed at me fell to the ground.

I held my breath for a moment.

The familiar figure was in front of me.

“…D-Dylan?”

He swung his sword without even looking back at me towards the magician.

“K-Kueugh!”

Dylan Kyung silently aimed at the magician’s throat.

A significant difference in skill.

The magician fell to the ground without even having a chance to fight back.

What a bloody one-row spectacle.

Finally, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood off the sword.

The blood-soaked smooth handkerchief gently fell to the ground.

Was it all over?

“Ah…”

I felt dizzy.

But it was precisely at that moment.

He pulled me, who was about to collapse, into his arms.

“…Are you okay?”

He whispered in a deep voice near my ear.

“I’m sorry for coming late.”

He apologized unnecessarily while embracing me.

After that, everything went smoothly.

Magicians led by Helic appeared through the open door.

They took care of the bodies and escorted the imprisoned magicians, including the fallen Duke Saboia, from the prison.

People quickly vanished from the spot.

The dysfunctional, narrow prison door creaked closed again.

Only Dylan and I were left in this place.

In the silence, Dylan whispered softly.

“Please tell me. Who imprisoned you Ishael?”

Well, I couldn’t say that I imprisoned myself.

…I couldn’t say that.

“Is it Claude Saboia? Pedro? The terrorist? Who is the cruel person?”

It’s him…

I quickly turned my head.

“More importantly, why did you come?”

In fact, I knew even as I asked.

He must have come after hearing the news of my imprisonment.

“I was a little upset that you didn’t reach out to me.”

It was at that moment when I was filled with excitement.

A vivid enemy appeared before me like a bonfire.

Beyond the partially shattered prison thanks to the flashbang.

There was a blue moonlight shining.

Finally, tonight.

The blue energy shining on his face, I gave a small gulp while looking at it.

“I’ve come to talk.”

“Yes?”

“Now, it’s okay.”

In a moment when tension was so high that it could be called bad luck.

“You can touch me now.”

Touch what suddenly?

“My entire body.”

…?

You came to the prison to say that?

With a feeling that seemed like a perverted freak, I blinked and questioned.

“…Pardon?”

I looked at Dylan with a puzzled expression.

He brought my hand to his forehead and let out a low groan.

There was heat coming from his forehead.

Momentarily forgetting his absurd comment, I panicked and spoke.

“But it’s still hot… Does it hurt?”

It meant that I was saying nonsense because it hurt.

That was the moment.

Dylan gently pressed his lips against the palm of my hand.

His dry lips touched my palm.

It was a subtle sensation, and I bit my lips tightly.

It was the feeling of his warmth transferring to my hand.

“It doesn’t hurt. It’s just…”

A tingling sensation spread from the point of contact and dispersed.

He tilted his head and looked at me.

That’s how, finally, the distance between the two of us became a little closer.

Without realizing it, we were within reach of each other’s noses.

“I think it’s better to step back. We’re too close.”

Perhaps Dylan wouldn’t understand my intention to reject.

Despite his appearance, he was an icon of consideration, who would give me 50 congratulatory gifts on our wedding day.

But…

Dylan’s eyes flickered.

“I said step back.”

“Yes? Okay.”

He grabbed my wrist again and replied.

“On the day we divorce, exactly one year later, I’ll step back.”

Looking at me with piercing eyes, he whispered softly.

“So…”

He slowly kissed my collarbone.

Feeling his hot breath, I questioned as I felt a slight shiver.

“…Yes?”

His red eyes stared at me intensely.

I rolled my dry lips and moistened them, thinking.

So it was a bit… perverse gaze.

His red lips parted slightly.

The moist corner of his eye curved upwards.

His head tilted to the side.

And…

His warm lips grazed my cheek as if it were an accident.

“For now, please don’t abandon me.”

His hot lips began to leave marks along my neck once again.

I gasped and opened my eyes wide.

The person I saw up close, his eyebrows trembled slightly as if he were nervous.

I could also see his chest rising and falling rapidly, as if he were short of breath.

When the blue door reflected the light.

The pupils I glimpsed briefly were clearly not normal.

They didn’t seem affectionate as usual, but rather overly aggressive.

“Don’t… abandon me.”

His breath felt a little more relaxed at those words.

Forgetting the current situation, I slowly placed my hand on Dylan Kyung’s forehead.

The cold sensation of my hand stuck to his hot forehead.

The point of contact gradually changed to a lukewarm temperature.

As if we were gradually seeping into each other, like that.

The beast-like gasps that were heaving began to calm down.

He held my hand tightly.

He gently held onto the tip of my fingers, exhaling in a much more relaxed manner.

It seemed slightly better than before.

“…I can feel Ishael’s warmth. It’s nice.”

Those were the words I heard when I was in pain.

My heart felt relieved.

However, it was different from before when we lightly held each other’s hands and felt each other’s warmth.

As I silently gazed at Dylan’s eyelashes, I held his hand for a few minutes.

His body gradually lost its heat, and his breathing became more comfortable.

I, too, didn’t dislike being in this state. It felt like I gained stability every time we touched.

Thinking this way seems absurd, but that’s how it was.

While comforting him, I tried to ignore the strange situation.

“Was it a mistake? It seems like you’re holding my hand too tightly.”

I shook my hand slightly.

Our joined hands didn’t separate.

I tried to pull it out a little harder, but it still didn’t come off.

Dylan held onto my body and muttered.

“Ishael.”

“…Yes?”

“Why didn’t you tell me to give up?”

“Well, Dylan…”

Because you didn’t let go of my hand?

I was momentarily taken aback as I looked at his red eyes in front of me.

The once sharp eyes were now half-lidded.

“It seems like you’re mentally weak….”

Well, there’s still something I need to do here.

With a vague hint, I glanced at the half-destroyed ceiling.

“There’s still dirt on that ceiling… If I dig it out, my life will change.”

I couldn’t reach it because I was short.

When I became slightly restless, he murmured with a clenched fist.

“If you tell me to give up now, I’ll give up and leave.”

I couldn’t quite understand what he meant by giving up.

But I had more to do here.

“So, Dylan, I dismantled the bomb with a magic spell. And then I saw something amazing.”

Trembling, I closed my eyes tightly and shouted like a brave warrior.

“Can you please hug me tightly? And then…”

I tried to say that I wanted him to lift me up a little.

He hesitated a bit, but he pulled me into a strong embrace.

“Did you ask me to hug you now?”

“Oh, yes. Please hug me tightly. And then…”

“In that case, can I not give up anymore?”

“…?”

He whispered in my ear.

“Do you dare to submit to my dirty desires?”

…Yes?
