PLUTO English Translation

23 (THE TRUTH)

Since I learnt the truth, I can't stop smiling and living in my own pink bubble. I cling to Metavee like we're newlyweds. We are like the opposite poles of a magnet that attract each other. We do nothing all day but make out... Ah. That appears to be a little preoccupied. But what can I do... I don't know how long this precious time will last. When I think about this, I sigh like an elderly person whose relatives recently placed them in a nursing home.

[If your relationship with Metavee is going well, I think you better tell her the truth. You're the one in her memory, she won't be angry with you. Trust me.]

Pang, who knows everything, advises me on a video call before she flies out tonight. I was going to tell Metavee the truth so many times already, but I'm still too scared to do it because things are going so well right now. I fear that telling her the truth will take away the precious time we have left. What if Metavee doesn't like it that I tricked her? We would fight, and she would hate me...

"Every time she smiles, I'm at a loss for words.

[Geez. Let her stress a little. You're too much of a coward. This is not like Ai Aun, the rascal. I think May would be more surprised that her first puppy love, who was so naughty, is now so timid.]

"You have such a big mouth."

[Tell her. Trust me. It's better than her finding out from someone else.]

"Who?"

[Aobe Aum. You told me that your twin remembers that Metavee is her lover, no? Her memory is not up to date yet. What if she wants to meet her lover once she's stronger? The truth will come out... Maybe they've already talked on the phone.]

"Crazy."

I panic because I never thought of that.

"Aum's phone is with me."

[She hasn't asked you for it?]

"I'll tell her it was damaged in the accident... She can't remember that she didn't take it with her."

[There are so many ways Aobe Aum can contact Metavee. I'm warning you. This is a ticking time bomb. Before it goes off... you should confess so that your punishment isn't as bad.]

"Will she hate me?"

[So, what if she does? Just make out with her to reconcile.]

"You know too much."

[The red marks all over your neck that you couldn't hide when you visited say it all.]

"You..."

I hurriedly touch my neck and look for a mirror to check that there are no red marks. It seems like

Metavee has shown more cute aggression toward me lately. She likes to leave marks on me and says...

"So, everyone will know you are mine."

When I hear her reason, I can't be angry with her...

After I consult my friend, I hang up and go back into the special inpatient room to be with my twin. Aobe Aum is standing at the window, looking out mindlessly. I cleared my throat to get her attention.

"Twin."

"Hey."

My younger twin, with whom I get along well these days, has a sad look in her eyes.

"You're back so soon from getting food."

"Ah. I forgot that I was going to 7/11."

I intended to go buy some juice, but Pang called, so I forgot.
