Strange things I’ve believed in (4)

‘You think I’m going to start a fight here?’

There was no way I could be so happy to torment him, who didn’t do anything particularly wrong to me.

‘Or does he hate being in the same room as me?’

It was a reasonable thought, but it was somewhat unfair.

I was still a real person.

Now I knew clearly that Taehyung was not the one I should hate.

Whether it felt unfair or not, Taehyung stood there and stared at me for a very embarrassing amount of time.

Top, the Duke of Kim, punched him in the back and pushed him in. He almost had to drag Taehyung in front of us.

“Long time no see, Prince.”

“The Duke of Kim, Taehyung.”

Bogum stood up pleasantly and held out his hand. I also got tangled up following suit.

“It’s nice to see the rich coming side by side. This is my partner, Miss Lisa Manoban.”

“Hello, I’m Lisa Manoban.”

“I’ve heard a lot from Sandara, but it seems like this is my first time greeting you.”

Top said while smiling nicely.

“Nice to meet you.”

…I didn’t know what things Sandara talked to him about.

“After the performance, I want to have a deeper conversation to say thank you. I’m glad your foot is okay.”

“Oh… yes.”

I suppose.

When I heard him mention the story of my foot, he seemed to be referring to the event where that bookmark exploded.

Perhaps because Taehyung’s parents believed in their child’s abilities, they didn’t seem to be at all wary of Taehyung’s ‘self-proclaimed rival’.

“Taehyung, you need to say hi.”

Top muttered while stabbing Taehyung on the side, and Taehyung greeted everyone with a dry voice.

Did he really have to make his dislike that obvious?

Of course, considering what I had done so far, that was the case.

“Then I hope you have a good time.”

Top smiled politely and sat down with Taehyung.

‘Well, it’s good to be close, but isn’t this too close?’

Top dragged Taehyung to the seat next to us.

Was he even pushing Taehyung to sit next to me?

I became slightly more nervous as I watched Taehyung take one more shot of the welcome drink brought by the maid and asked for another drink.

‘Are you that thirsty?’

In any case, he drank the drug that Jin had prepared in an instant.

Now, all that remained was to create a place for the two of us at the earliest possible time and pour in the antidote.

‘I can see the end of this annoying act now! Bye everyone. Bye forever.’

All sorts of rumors would be spread about me, but Bogum, who didn’t care, and Taehyung, who had to be criticized by me without any guilt, could now live peacefully after all this.
