How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World[part1]

Chapter 101: Highlight (3)

Fortunately, Marie didn't hear Cecily's whisper, but that didn't make the situation any better. Cecily now wrapped her arms around mine, leaning her head on my shoulder as if she wouldn't hide it anymore.

It may seem like a heartwarming and sweet scene, but the problem is that I have a girlfriend, who is sitting right next to me. No matter how much Cecily may like me, I must deal with this firmly. It is not only a matter of disappointing Marie, but also a matter of basic manners.

"Noona, I'm sorry, but could you please let go?"

"What if I don't want to?"

"Don't you think you might make me dislike you?"

"... ..."

Cecily belatedly realized her mistake in the face of my firm remark and trembled. Then, she looked at Marie sitting next to me with a subtle expression.

Marie clung to my arm tightly, growling like a cat as if she would fight anyone who tries to take me away. Of course, it is a figurative expression, but she was clearly showing her annoyance.

To her, charming and attractive Cecily, who was trying to steal her boyfriend, would look like a demanding fox. Especially if she is more attractive and charming than herself, she would feel insecure.

'However, surprisingly, she doesn't say anything.'

"If I had been there, I would have shouted at Cecily immediately. "What the hell are you doing?" I would have yelled, my eyes glaring. However, now she is just on high alert with her fur standing on end.

Perhaps there has been a psychological change from the conversation they had earlier that day. As soon as I released the arm that Cecily was holding onto, I immediately began to stroke Marie's head gently.

It was a sign that no matter how much Cecily tempted me, I was her boyfriend and I would never disappoint her.

"...I'll let it go this time."

When I started to pet Marie, she looked straight at my face, then quickly looked away and muttered quietly. Her lips puckered in jealousy, and even in the dark of night, I could see her cheeks had turned slightly red.

How can jealousy be so adorable? I couldn't hide my upward-turned lips and softly chuckled so that only Marie could hear me.

"If you can't believe me, do you want me to kiss you?"

"...You're a pervert. You're really a red pervert."

I'm not sure what a red pervert means, but it's probably because of my hair. I pinched Marie's cheek like a glutinous rice cake and checked Cecily's reaction.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have scowled at me, but Cecily had a curious expression. As if she were observing the two of us, she had wide-open eyes and showed a deep interest.

What the hell is she thinking? Without turning my gaze away, I asked Cecily.

"Noona?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you thinking?"

Upon hearing my question, Cecily blinked a few times and turned her head towards Marie, who was still trying to calm down her flushed cheeks.

After a moment, Cecily looked back at me and gave a sly smile before speaking.

"I was just curious if I could feel the same emotions that Marie is experiencing right now."

"..."

"Judging by Marie's reaction, she must be feeling good..."

"Cough."
