Kyrie is unaware that the walls of her residence have always been this thin. From inside her study, Kyrie could hear laughter coming out of Suiren's mouth.
'Has the wall of this workspace always this thin? How can I still hear the voice of the girl.'
Kyrie moved from her seat to the window facing directly towards the backyard of her residence.
He saw Suiren taking a walk in the afternoon with his personal bodyguard, Sergei. They seemed to be enjoying their afternoon walk.
Sometimes Suiren laughed while talking to Sergei.
'What are they talking about?'
The wind blew suddenly and shook the trees in the backyard. Some leaves slipped off its twigs and fell floating to the ground. Some got stuck in Suiren's hair.
'Ah, the leaves are stuck in her hair.'
Simultaneously when he realized that, Sergei took a leaf strand stuck in Suiren's hair and then threw it away.
Without Kyrie noticing, her face turned grim.
After that, Kyrie decided to continue her work. He had a little trouble dispelling the disturbing thoughts, but with a little time he managed to continue his work well. Even he forgot the time, because without realizing it the sun had completely set.
"Duke, aren't you going to dinner?" Ask Harry from behind the door.
Kyrie did not turn her head from the file in front of her. "I'll get through dinner today."
After saying that, Harry remained behind the door.
"Lady Suiren has been waiting for you since, Duke." Finally word.
Kyrie scrunched her forehead. "I didn't ask him to wait for me."
Hearing his master's words, Harry hurried back to the dining room.
Kyrie knew that she shouldn't have said that but somehow she wasn't in the mood to meet Suiren.
He continued his work.
BRAKK!!!
Shortly after, the door of his study was wide open.
"I told you I was gonna skip dinner." He said so without knowing the figure that opened the door of his study.
"Have you forgotten what I said yesterday, Duke Wisteria?" Ask the voice of the girl who lately often heard by him.
Kyrie raised her face and mandapati Suiren was smiling in annoyance in front of her. He brought a tray of food and drinks that should be his lazy meal today.
"I told you I don't like eating alone." Suiren placed his tray on Kyrie's desk roughly. His eyes twitched in annoyance.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Kyrie scrunched her forehead and looked at Suiren with an annoyed look.
"Look, I'm so hungry. You didn't ask me to wait for dinner, but I couldn't eat alone. As a good host you should help me adjust here."
Kyrie did not respond to what Suiren said. He then took a meal from the tray and ate it without saying a word. Suiren on the other hand also sat on the seat opposite Kyrie and ate his meal.
"The state of your heart is easy to change, huh? Sometimes you look happy but the next day you can look very moody."
Kyrie chewed on the meat she had just gulped. Then he looked at Suiren. "You'd be like that if you had to face someone like you."
Suiren gave a confused look. "You mean?"
"I'm asking you to think of a way to attract the nobles, but you're spending your time teasing your new bodyguard." Reply Kyrie.
"TEASE?!" Suiren felt his voice rise.
Kyrie did not reply.
"You're really weird." Suiren regulated his breathing. "Please learn to distinguish relationship building by flirting, Duke Wisteria."
Kyrie sipped her teacup and then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"After all, though I may seem to be quiet, in my mind I was trying to figure out a way to do what you told me to do." Suiren continued.
"Then, I don't think why are you still acting like a stranger to me?"
Again Suiren looked at Kyrie with a puzzled look. Today a lot of things came out of Kyrie's mouth that made her confused.
"You just met Sergei yesterday but you called him by a nickname."
Suiren blinked his eyes many times. "You.. don't say..."
Kyrie raised her left eyebrow.
"Jealous...?"
Kyrie's previously flat face suddenly reddened to the tip of her ear. He looks like a kitten right now.
"BSTFF!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR OWN FACE IN THE GLASS!!!" Suiren exploded in laughter. He wished he could capture this moment forever.
"You're crazy. Don't talk nonsense." Kyrie said while trying to set her facial expression.
"good. Alright. Then I'll go back to my bedroom." Suiren stood up and then raised both of his hands, signifying that he agreed to all of Kyrie's words.
Before he actually came out of Kyrie's study, Suiren turned her body to face Kyrie. "Good night then, Kyrie." With a dirty smile on his face.
Kyrie could only cover her face with her palm after hearing Suiren's words.
