Ellie’s POV
I woke up because of the sunlight hitting me because of the open window. Even though the sun king peeked, it was still not hot. The breeze that blows on my skin is still fresh.
I was also stunned for a few minutes when I realized I was not in the room. I woke up in no time. I looked around the small room where I slept.
I am in a cottage.
I closed my eyes to remember what happened last night.
I was with Keeion’s cousin last night. He was the last person with me.
Couldn't I have fallen asleep while talking to him?
I noticed that the door of this room was ajar. Even if I didn’t get up to open it completely, I could still see the outside of it because there was enough space in that pitiful door.
I saw from outside that someone was lying on the long chair that was there. In that chair I sat last night. You can sleep because it fits one person and it is also spacious.
The hut is because it is not an ordinary hut that is just being built. This cottage was obviously tailored because of its size. Has its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room.
I got up and arranged my bed. My back didn't hurt because the bed here was foamed. I took my slippers and put them on and left the room.
When I got out, I was shocked by what I saw.
My eyes widened when I saw Cyfer sleeping in the chair. It looks like it was cold because he was wrapped in a blanket while sleeping.
But just a few minutes later I noticed that it had faded.
He slowly opened his eyes. As I had reacted earlier when I realized I was not in my own room, he woke up immediately.
He immediately turned in my direction.
He didn’t expect to see me standing and looking at him.
“E-Ellie…” He rubbed his eyes. "You're awake."
I nodded. "Actually I almost just woke up too." I approached the seat opposite him. I sat there to face him. "You slept here too," I said shyly.
He is the son of one of the owners of this hacienda and large States then he just slept here in the hut? I'll bet he just experienced this for the first time in his life. The chair he slept in didn't even foam!
“You fell asleep last night so I moved you to the bedroom. I hesitated to take you inside the mansion because I would definitely disturb your sleep. That's why I'd better just sleep with you here when I'm reassured that nothing will happen to you here. "
Because of what he said, I felt even more embarrassed. It's like it's my fault why he slept here. The part where he moved me out of bed so that I could sleep comfortably made me feel ashamed. Then I'll know if he slept here just to be with me? Gosh! Am I golden to be treated like this by him?
If I had just stopped my drowsiness and just entered the mansion I would have felt no conscience right now, wouldn't it?
“You should have just woken me up. It's embarrassing that you slept here.” I can't look at his face. "I'm sure you were swallowed and your back hurt because of the hardness of that chair."
He laughed as he folded the blanket he had used. “It’s okay. Then it's not a big deal for me even if I just sleep on the floor.”
“Huh? But you are a rich child so you should not experience something like this.”
“Ellie, even though I am the President's child, I can sleep on the floor. I won’t tolerate myself with the idea of ​​I’m from a wealthy family so I should not experience the lifestyle of people who came from a moderate status in life.”
I smiled at what he said. I’m obsessed with the mindset he has!
Everything that comes out of her mouth reflects on what habit she has. And because of this, I can say Cyfer is kind. Even if you are the son of a rich man, you will not be ashamed to associate with him because he knows how to associate with any person who does not look at the state of life. Nowadays, you rarely find this kind of person. Often your state in life is the number 1 requirement for other people to make friends with you. Well, there are people who are actually more dazzled by money than true friendship.
We were in the middle of Cyfer’s conversation when someone called my name.
"Ellie!"
Cyfer and I both turned back to the person who shouted.
I was surprised to recognize him.
He walked quickly in our direction.
“Where did you go last night? You’re not in your room, ”Keeion said.
Our eyes met and I could sense his concern there. But why should he worry?
"Oh, cousin… here he slept last night." Cyfer responded to the conversation. He may even have noticed that his cousin was worried so he answered.
Keeion looked at the speaker. It was only then that he noticed that Cyfer and I were together. His gaze flickered back and forth between the two of us. "Here you two slept last night?"
This time I answered. “Yes, I didn't realize that I fell asleep while talking to him last night. He said he never woke me up and just let me sleep here.”
“No worries, I didn't leave Ellie alone here so I went with her to sleep here. He is in the room and I am outside,” Cyfer added .
“You should have woken me up, Cyfer. I won’t hesitate to carry her inside the mansion.”
"I'm sorry, bro."
Keeion didn't say another word. Instead he turned his gaze back to me. I suddenly felt nervous because of the serious look he was throwing.
"Let's go," he told me.
"H-Huh?"
I guess I asked the wrong question because he was even more annoyed with me. It's less apologetic than my height. Anyone would be scared of its killer look. What more so when he's really mad?
He did not answer me and he had no intention of answering me based on the expression on his face.
"What?" His two thick eyebrows met sharply a few minutes before I was still standing.
"I'm the one who should ask that. What?"
Sometimes, I don’t really understand him either. If you ask, they will not answer. So how do we understand that? What, it's just a hint if someone wants to say or just guessing, like that?
If that’s the case, let’s not talk!
He did not leave me with this painful look.
He was still outside the hut, opposite the chair where I was sitting. He seemed to have no intention of leaving and seemed to be waiting for something. As time went on he couldn't really paint his face with so much annoyance.
"Ellie!" he irritatedly mentioned my name. It couldn't stand the fact that he was so annoyed with me.
I looked at him in amazement. What am I doing to him? He was still shouting my name.
"What?"
“Didn’t you hear me? I said, let’s go! ” he emphatically uttered the words.
He didn't wait for me to speak. He entered the hut and without permission grabbed my hand causing me to stand up. When I caught sight of Cyfer, he had no reaction. It seemed like he was just seeing normal and he expected it to happen.
Keeion pulled me out of the hut. I couldn’t get out of his grip because it was so tight. I just dragged him all the way to the mansion.
The maids on the veranda looked at us and were currently cleaning there.
"Hey! Let me go. We're looking at each other, oh.” His pace slowed and he seemed to calm down as well. I took that opportunity to withdraw my hand he was holding. I was not disappointed because his grip on it had loosened so I had no trouble breaking his hand.
“Next time, listen to what I have to say. You can't wait to drag me.”
I was blown away by him. "If you could answer the question, we would have understood, what?" I bravely stared at him.
“I’m not repeating what I’ve already said. It’s your responsibility to listen, you little brat!” He glared at me, causing me to sniff him even more out of annoyance.
He struggled to stare at me. I thought he would give up immediately but I was the first to look away from him. I couldn’t stand the stares he was throwing at me. His eyes seemed to be absorbing me.
I looked in the other direction.
“He looks like a handsome angry bird, very serious and very naughty! He always seems high blood always. Was he conceived out of resentment, huh?” I whispered to myself. I made sure he didn’t hear it.
I feel like he is still looking at me. "Are you saying something?"
“H-Huh? Am I saying anything? Nothing, ah!”
"You've been so stubborn ever since." He sighed at the same time as he avoided looking at me. "You're always giving me a headache, Ellie."
I frowned. "How come?"
I haven't even started work yet so how do I give him a headache? Don't worry, it will happen soon.
“Just follow what I’ve said. Respect my rules and always be on my side.”
"And why would I do that?" I'm still walking but I stopped when he started talking.
He returned to me the magnetic look he had. “Because you’re still mine, Ellie. You’re mine.”
