Possessed As the Butler of a Defeated Heroine - Chapter 205
205 – The Butler Was Worried. Because I Have to Date 8 People.
After the nabe party, Christmas has already arrived.
There is about a week left until Christmas.
However, Hyunjin was now in a difficult situation.
[Do you understand? Hyunjin. Make sure to set aside some time on Christmas Eve.]
[Hyunjin, if you don’t mind, I would like you to meet me the day before Christmas… Is it okay?]
[Hyunjin, make sure to come out on Christmas Eve. It’s a promise. I will not accept any objections.]
[Jin-chan, I… That, on Christmas Eve! I really need to meet you and have something to say! So, I want you to come out!]
It was a promise made on Christmas Eve when I called Hyunjin directly.
What he meant was that he was forcing himself to meet his schedule in a situation where he couldn’t even get a definite answer.
… Not only the four mentioned above, but also Kanade, Aisha, Hotaru, and Taiga.
A total of eight girls had been scheduled for appointments at once.
In the meantime, Hyunjin could not even think of refusing, so he finally came to his senses and made a date with 8 people at the same time.
“It’s going to spin.”
Hyunjin lay on the bed in his room, staring blankly at the ceiling and muttering.
Everything is good. Everything I’ve done so far has been good. Because it was a situation that I could handle in some way.
We were able to somehow manage to get together and go on a date the other day, but that was it.
With only a few steps left until the end, Hyunjin felt like she was losing her mind as she had to protect 8 people by herself from a large-scale event called Christmas Eve.
Hyun Jin feels like Jo Woon, who went out on his own to defeat Cao Cao’s army, a classic example of the Jangpan faction.
‘Be calm. I can’t give up here yet.’
Hyunjin got out of bed thinking that.
He made a promise, but did not set a detailed schedule.
Since the other party is the one who unilaterally won the appointment, I think they also have the authority to adjust the schedule.
“First of all… “Is this a schedule arrangement?”
Amelia, Ohana, Tsubasa, Ayako, Kanade, Aisha, Hotaru, Taiga…
The time given is only one day, 24 hours.
It was a crazy schedule where I had to go on dates with 8 people within 24 hours.
Hyunjin, who remembered seeing a scene in an animation he once saw where the two protagonists scheduled a date with several heroines and desperately switched positions to continue the date, became a little anxious.
In the end, the fact that we had to go on a date remained the same, so we decided to briefly break down our schedule.
‘First of all… ‘
In Hyunjin’s judgment, Amelia had to be the first hitter.
However, it is impossible to accommodate 8 people in one day.
Hyunjin decided to share appropriately.
The day before Eve, Eve, Christmas Day. It seemed like the eight people’s schedule should be divided into three parts like this.
Actually, 8 people over 2 days is not too much.
A normal person would despair of not being able to do it, but Hyunjin never gave up.
What you wanted. What you have to do.
Because it was like a lie, ‘I will make the heroine happy.’
I had to do it.
“Then… Let’s try it like this.”
I steadily wrote down my plan on my smartphone.
…
…
Just like that, it was already the day before Christmas Eve.
Without fail, the first one scheduled is Amelia.
Unlike other heroines, Amelia didn’t need to pay special attention to her, so Hyunjin tried to go out with her.
Normally, Ed would have given her a ride, but this time Amelia flatly refused.
Instead, I decided to ride on the back of the bike that Hyunjin usually rides.
Amelia carefully held Hyunjin’s waist with both arms.
Hyunjin was started by the strange feeling of the woman’s skin her, but she scolded him, saying that she couldn’t do anything about it due to the structure of the bike.
“It’s been a long time since I rode my bike behind Hyunjin like this.”
Hyunjin stammered in his thoughts at Amelia’s words
It certainly seems like that.
“Where do you want to go, lady?”
“Take me somewhere, somewhere quiet.”
“Quiet place… I understand.”
Speaking of places like that, there are few places where you can ride a bicycle.
Hyunjin headed to a place on the street he knew where the atmosphere was calm.
The place Hyunjin guided me to was a park on a hill with a clear view of the city.
Because it was a bit far from downtown, it was a place that people didn’t visit often.
Amelia didn’t know there was a place like this, so as soon as she came, she looked at Hyunjin and said.
“Swimming… “You also knew about this place.”
“I usually walk around a lot.”
“Oh, that’s definitely true.”
A cool wind greeted Hyunjin and Amelia.
Since it was winter and it was snowing, her breath began to come out.
“Hyunjin.”
“Yes, lady.”
When Hyunjin responded to Amelia’s words, Amelia continued her words in a quiet tone.
“For the past year… How was your time together?”
It was a question that was asked quite often.
Amelia was always like that.
I asked Hyunjin how the days he spent with him were.
Because Hyunjin was thinking lightly as usual, she paused for a moment.
Because at that moment she made eye contact with Amelia.
She couldn’t smile or talk jokingly.
“I’m sure he said it like he did before. Just saying it was moderately good… “
Hyunjin thought about Amelia’s words.
It was moderately good… ?
No, it wasn’t.
Hyunjin did not forget the times he first met and spent with Amelia.
‘I made a lot of mistakes and messed around a lot.’
Such things definitely happened.
There were times when I was upset, and there were times when I thought, “I don’t know why I have to go through this.”
Amelia treated Hyunjin warmly in her own way.
No matter how much he wanted to escape from the harsh reality, the first time living here was sweetness itself for Hyunjin.
The intensity of work was neither tiring nor coercive. It was a little difficult at first, but after I got used to it, I could do it like breathing.
‘No matter how many times you ask, the answer won’t change… ‘
Hyunjin suddenly thought about that and opened her mouth.
“Nowadays… I think so too. “I wonder why you ask such a question.”
“W-what do you mean?”
“I believe it was because you were anxious. Since you’ve been questioning my relationship with women lately, I wonder if you’re asking that question all the time.”
What Hyunjin said was a straight argument.
In reality, Amelia felt a little anxious.
When another woman starts approaching Hyunjin, she thinks that she might leave him one day.
Wouldn’t Hyunjin’s heart be shaken? Maybe she doesn’t need herself anymore.
Her uneasy feelings gradually ate away at Amelia and made her shake.
I was impatient.
“I am…”
Amelia couldn’t continue her words.
Because what Hyunjin says is not wrong.
Amelia has her own heart, yes.
She was selfish.
I knew she was greedy.
“I am… I don’t know What am I hoping for? “I wonder if I want Hyunjin to take care of me, or if she just doesn’t want me to leave.”
“…”
Hyunjin couldn’t say anything more.
Do you like Amelia?
Yes, Hyunjin clearly liked Amelia.
When asked if she was romantically involved, she said no. To be exact, it was similar to her parents’ feelings, a desire for Amelia to be happy.
Feeling out of sync with other heroines from the starting point.
That’s why Hyunjin couldn’t speak properly either.
We wanted to talk to each other, but we couldn’t convey our thoughts properly.
‘… It shouldn’t be so tight.’
It was Hyunjin who spoke first while thinking this.
“I am… I hope your lady is happy. No matter what the outcome, she will give in if that is what she wants. So don’t think too much about it.”
“Hyunjin…”
“Even if someone tells you that you are wrong, I will not do the same to you.”
In the park overlooking the village, Hyunjin smiled and extended her hand to Amelia.
“So, don’t hesitate… Please do whatever you want.”
At Hyunjin’s words, Amelia opened her mouth with a downcast expression.
“I know, I know. At last… Whatever it is, it’s something I have to choose. It was just a little too stuffy… So, I wanted to ask. “What was it like for you to stay with me right now?”
As Amelia slowly caught her breath, she asked again.
“So, I’m asking. Hyunjin… Were you happy? “Aren’t you sad or despairing because you wanted my happiness?”
“Happiness… “What do you mean?”
At Amelia’s words, Hyunjin felt as if she had hit him on the head with a hammer.
‘If you think about it… ‘What was happiness?’
She wanted the happiness of others, but more than anyone else, she turned her eyes away from her own happiness.
In that way, she is able to connect the Amelia and Ryunosuke she had hoped for.
If you go then, will you really be happy?
From a young age, parents often talk.
From noble mtl dot com
You can date when you go to college, and you can become happy when you get older.
So study right now…
Those words didn’t make much of an impression on Hyunjin. Of course, there are definitely people who achieve happiness through studying.
However, just as people have their own paths, there are certainly issues that one can choose and focus on.
The process of Hyunjin becoming happy.
Can we say that Hyunjin’s joy is simply supporting and continuing the love of others?
Amelia was asking Hyunjin questions from such fundamental points.
What Amelia had been asking all this time was that she was truly asking, deep in her heart, whether she was happy.
“Ah…”
Was that so?
Hyunjin chuckled at the answer that finally came out.
