The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

57 – Heart

Lorton took a black seed from his bosom and put it on a silver tray that he had placed on the bed.

“Do you know what this is?”

I shook my head at Lawton’s question. I saw what it looked like and guessed it roughly.

“Is it black beans?”

“It is a seed. It is the seed of the vine.”

Lawton placed the silver tray of seeds on Luna’s chest, swung her wand at her seeds, and in an instant, vines began to grow.

Lawton moved his wand, and a vine grew up into Luna’s nose.

“I’m going to stick a vine through her nose and pull out a piece of bone stuck in her brain.”

With that said, Lawton shut his mouth and focused on swinging his wand. Judging from the fact that the staff continued to emit green mist, it seemed that he was constantly using magic power.

As I nervously watched her vines continue to enter Luna’s nostrils, she began shaking her body as if Luna had a seizure.

“Luna… !”

“Calm down. It’s just that I drilled a little hole in her brain to get her bones out.”

Lawton waved his staff as if it didn’t matter. I had to sit in a chair and watch it nervously.

*

Lawton’s wand finally stopped. When I checked the clock hanging in the club room, 8 hours had passed.

Maybe it was because he continued to use magic without drinking a glass of water. Lawton seemed to be struggling, and sat down on a nearby chair.

Hurry up and hand over a glass of cool water. Lawton said thank you and drank the water.

“How is treatment….”

“Good. This is the bone fragment.”

On the silver tray placed on Luna’s chest was something the size of a little fingernail that looked like a piece of black stone.

“If you check the condition of the brain again tomorrow, the treatment is completely finished.”

Lawton took out a bottle of herbs he had prepared in advance from his bag.

“Eat this when you wake up. Don’t eat today, and don’t move too hard. The hole is temporarily blocked with vines, so it’s dangerous until the medicine takes effect.”

At Lawton’s words, I bowed deeply.

“Thank you. Grandfather.”

“Come back tomorrow for details.”

To Lawton, who got up from his seat with a tired expression on his face, I put my things in the bag and politely handed him the bag.

“You’re always good like this!”

“When wasn’t that?”

Let’s answer smirkingly. Lawton laughed and asked in a serious voice.

“You haven’t confessed to Luna yet, have you?”

“Yes? No, what….”

Let’s scratch the back of your head with a shy expression. Lawton said in a weary voice.

“… Do you know what I regretted the most after meeting my first love?”

I was a little taken aback by the sudden question. However, Lawton’s eyes were full of seriousness that was not usually seen.

“I don’t know….”

“I regret not confessing sooner.”

At Lawton’s words, I put on an expression that I did not understand. Perhaps reading my expression, Lawton smiled bitterly and put a hand on my shoulder.

“No matter how much time you spend with someone you care about, it’s always a pity.”

At Lawton’s words, I inadvertently turned my gaze to the sleeping Luna.

Extras that do not appear in the world of my novel.

I don’t know why I possessed it, and in a situation where I don’t know what will happen if Roel kills the demon king as the ending of the novel….

Is it right to confess to Luna only for my own pleasure?

I couldn’t deny that Luna was a precious person to me. That’s why I hesitated to confess to her Luna.

Of course I knew that Luna liked me. There was no way that I, an ordinary me who wasn’t the insensitive protagonist of a love comedy, didn’t know that she blushed when she saw me, and didn’t let go of her hand even though she was shy.

I enjoyed the subtle feelings between us and confirmed time and time again that we liked each other.

Just as Luna truly values me, I had no choice but to treat Luna that way.

“Then, see you tomorrow.”

Lawton walked out of the club room with weary steps. I followed her to see her off, but I had no choice but to nod my head at Lawton’s words to keep an eye on Luna just in case.

I sat on the chair next to the bed and looked at Luna’s face. Long eyelashes with a cute dog-like appearance. To the pretty lips.

It was the first time I knew that looking at people’s faces could be so much fun. After staring at Luna for a while, Luna’s awake blue eyes were filled with my image.

“Lo, Ross.”

I had just woken up from sleep and seeing Luna calling me with a hazy voice was so cute that I couldn’t help but smile naturally.

“Are you okay? Her grandfather said the treatment went well.”

“Mo, I don’t know. Her head hurts a lot….”

Seeing Luna giving up and closing her eyes after struggling to raise her head, I said while stroking her head.

“I told you not to overdo it today, so lie down. Oh, I told you to take your medicine when you wake up.”

He took out the herb bottle Lawton had left behind and carefully grabbed Luna by the scruff of her neck and put it in her mouth.

“Keuuu, it’s too bitter….”

Seeing Luna whining like a child, I smiled and poked Luna on the cheek.

“Originally good medicine is bitter.”

I wanted to get some chocolate out of the storage room, but Lawton told me not to eat, so I didn’t.

“Would you like some water?”

“Yes….”

Perhaps she didn’t like the bitter taste left in her mouth, Luna’s frowning expression, seeing her for the first time, felt cute.

I told Luna who was drinking that Lawton was coming tomorrow.

“A deal that will end if you check again tomorrow. See this? It’s a piece of bone stuck in my head.”

Show me the bone fragments that were on the silver tray put aside. Luna looked at it curiously.

“That was in my head….”

Tears began to form in Luna’s blue eyes. Embarrassed by that appearance, before I could say anything, Luna opened her mouth in a watery voice.

“Because of that little thing…. It was very difficult.”

As Luna lowered her gaze, her tears fell.

“You worked hard, Luna…. It’s okay now.”

In the end, Luna couldn’t hold back her tears. I held Luna in her arms as she was pouring out her tears, and I brushed her back as if to comfort her.

“Thank you, thank you Ross….”

I buried her face in my arms and gently stroked Luna’s head as she said so.

A long time passed before I heard a small voice whispering in my arms.

“My, I know what I was thinking before I got treated… ?”

I shook my head slowly at Luna’s teary voice.

“But, I thought about what it would be like if today were my last….”

I couldn’t avoid her eyes, as if I was bound by magic, as Luna looked up at me with watery eyes, raising her head buried in her arms.

I had indomitable courage despite the torture of the inquisitor, so I could not resist Luna’s gaze simply looking at me.

“How would Ross feel if today was his last… ?”

“… Luna.”

If today was the last day, if the treatment failed and I couldn’t talk to Luna anymore…. What regrets would I have?

“I like you. I really like you Ross. I really wanted to say that.”

Luna, who confessed in her tearful voice, waited for my answer without a hint of shame and without avoiding her gaze.

“… I know.”

I was really stupid to answer that. I like you too, and I value you. I couldn’t say it, I just replied that I know your heart.

Still, Luna seemed to be just happy that I understood her feelings. She just had a pretty smile.

Seeing that, I had no choice but to tell the truth.

“I like you.”

Luna’s face turned bright red as she looked up at me at her protruding words. But unlike usual, Luna didn’t look down at her shyness.

My eyes fell on her lips involuntarily at Luna’s act of twitching her lips, wondering if she had anything to say.

Like her sincerity that burst out of nowhere, I slowly bowed her head to Luna who looked up at me.

Let’s open our closed eyes, feeling puzzled by the other tenderness that touched our lips. The image of Luna covering her mouth with the palm of her hand came into her eyes.

What my lips touched was not Luna’s lips, but her palm.

“Ah, ah, this… So… !”

I hugged her in silence at Luna’s appearance of her gibberish, as if embarrassed by her behavior. It was so nice to feel the warmth in her arms.

“Because I told you not to overdo it today. Let’s go back to bed now.”

If you don’t want to fall from her arms, let’s grab Luna’s hand that is holding onto her clothes like her child and forcibly remove it.

Luna lay on her bed and looked at me with her lips slightly pouting.

If there was anything to say, I whispered softly as I brought her face close to her lips.

“That, Ross. Can you tell me one more time?”

“Which one?”

“Okay, I like it….”

Embarrassed, I couldn’t help laughing at Luna’s expression. Embarrassed when I laughed, Luna raised her arm and covered her eyes.

With Luna’s cute request and her guilt for not confessing properly, I whispered in Luna’s ear.

“I like Luna.”

Luna suddenly grabbed me as I walked away.

“Everything, again….”

I had no choice but to repeat it in Luna’s pitiful voice.

“I like you.”

I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw Luna tossing and turning on her bed, whether it was embarrassing or not.

I think it’s done now, let’s try to straighten the upper body. Luna’s hand gripped my shoulder again.

“Yes… ?”

Looking at her puzzled, Luna twitched her lips and sent a strange look.

“Please do it again… ?”

Seeing Luna slightly nodding her head made me feel ashamed, and I felt her face heat up.

When you can’t help but bring her face closer and try to whisper in her ear that you like her again.

The warmth touched my cheek. At the soft touch of the ball, let me freeze as if I was frozen, not understanding what had happened. Luna whispered softly in my ear.

“Me too… i like you.”

When she looked up and looked down at Luna, Luna spoke in an embarrassed voice that didn’t match her seductive little devilish smile.

“First… It’s from the ball….”

At Luna’s words, I made an ah- sound and made a stupid expression, like a broken robot. After a while, I came to her senses and looked at my eyes, bursting out laughing at Luna’s lips twitching.

“Why, why are you laughing… !”

“Because it’s cute.”

I suddenly thought that defining this relationship with the word lover, unlike my worries, would not be long.
