The commotion passed. I sat in front of the window in a daze the whole time.

The cocoa that was brewed a long time ago had already cooled down.

My mind was still focused on the hallway where the incident had occurred after breakfast.

"Sage likes me."

I was so shocked that I covered my mouth as if I was afraid to say anything. It was so awkward that I felt like I was even saying it out loud.

Who would have heard that? I looked around for no reason.

Even though there was no one in the room, my ears started to burn as if someone was listening. I lowered my head.

In my ears, Sage's words were being rewound over and over again.

'What if I say I'm not satisfied with being your friend?'

It was unfair to suddenly say something like that. I put my hand on my still pounding heart.

"I don't know much about this."

This is the first time I've heard such a confession. I banged my head on the table.

Since when did Sage start liking me?

Now I understand why people around me reacted so sensitively whenever I mentioned Sage.

Everyone knew this would happen, but I just didn't.

"How do I look at Sage's face from now on?"

Now I think I know for sure why he came to the border to meet me in person. And why he noticed my pheromone stone faster than anyone else...

"Whoa."

It's because you were interested in me.

I can't believe I was the only one who didn't know that until now.

If possible, I wanted to hide in an eye socket. It would be nice if I could hide for a few days in a place where no one could see me and then come out.

Thinking that all the other escorts had seen the situation, their hands and feet naturally curled up.

"Okay, let's go out for now."

I felt more suffocated because I was just staying in the room.

In the South, I would go out to the garden and soak up some sun every once in a while, but in the North, I had to be tied down and unable to move.

But if I go out wearing thick clothes, there won't be a problem, right?

I opened the closet with all my might. Inside were winter clothes hung by size.

I prepared these things in advance because I didn't know how much I would grow.

I lifted my heel and pulled out my familiar cloak. It was a white cloak with fluffy white fur. And I had to put on gloves and earmuffs.

They were all made as a set.

"good."

That's enough. I took a quick look out the window and opened the door wide. I'll go out for now and come back in when I get cold.

I looked down at the white boots I was wearing for the first time and headed downstairs.

My heart was pounding with anticipation, wondering if I would ever meet Sage.

Tap, tap. The sound of small footsteps caught my hearing.

That's not all. Irene, who was dressed in white to somehow overcome the cold, was like a human snow rabbit.
