I Became a Guide For My Childhood Friend - Chapter 111.2

“We can make cookies later.”

At this rate, they were almost heading for the bed. Yernia was afraid that Cassian might suddenly pounce on her, so she decided to interrupt him before he could say anything more. But he seemed to be out of sight already. The lips that had touched her face before now touched her neck.

“Ca-Cassian.”

Yernia tried to push his head away but she suddenly heard an unfamiliar coughing sound. The thought that crossed her mind made her kick Cassian’s stomach hard.

“Juliet.”

Yernia’’s face turned pale.

She had forgotten completely about Juliet.

“I’m sorry. Sometimes, because of Cassian, I lose my focus….”

She couldn’t understand how she could do such a thing with a customer present. When she recalled herself being lost in the world of just her and Cassian, her ears burned with embarrassment. Not only did she allow an unwanted scene to be witnessed, with them declaring love and exchanging kisses, but she had also forgotten about the young girl.

Yernia felt like she had become a sinner.

“I thought you didn’t care about others because you were so focused on me. I didn’t know.”

But Cassian, who was sitting beside her, bumped his shoulder against hers as he said that. Did he know?

Yernia raised her head in surprise.

Did Cassian ignore Juliet even though he knew she was there?

“You’re really—— Are you crazy?”

“Then, when we looked like we were about to celebrate our love and she suddenly appeared, did you think I’d pay attention to the guest? This is partly your fault too. You got me all mesmerized like that.”

As Yernia stared at him, looking as though he didn’t feel any shame, Juliet, sitting across the table with her arms resting on it, narrowed her eyes and looked at both of them. The table, which had been covered in dough, was now neat and clean, and Yernia was already clean after washing up.

“It’s okay. I’ll think of it as you two getting along well.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to show that side of me.”

Yernia apologized again, unable to express her gratitude. She pressed her burning cheeks with the back of her hand.

“You could have left discreetly, couldn’t you?”

“Cassian!”

“Yernia said she loves me. Do you think it’s easy for me to hear that?”

How could Cassian be so confident? Yernia had never envied such shameless behavior, but today she felt a little jealous. What would life be like without feeling any shame?

“Did you come to see your sister, Juliet?”

Juliet had a crush on Cassian. That’s how Yernia felt. However, as Juliet came to this villa more often and witnessed the affectionate exchanges between Cassian and Yernia, it seemed like Juliet was building a wall against Cassian. To be more precise, it seemed as if Cassian was guarding Yernia against Juliet like he was guarding her against an enemy. Cassian, who believed that everyone, regardless of gender, would like Yernia, reacted sensitively whenever Juliet talked to her. To what extent…

“Sister, what did you name the puppy?”

Whenever Juliet asked, Yernia would hesitate to answer. “Oh, right. I haven’t named it yet.”

“You didn’t answer my question, Juliet. Are you trying to offend me?”

It was like that. Although it was difficult to say that Cassian was outright guarding her, this kind of situation was repeated enough for Yernia to notice that even Juliet, who was next to her, was also being cautious about Cassian. So, when she asked him directly, Cassian would shout regardless of who was nearby.

“I’m fine with you interacting with others, Yernia. But be aware that you’re so cute and lovable.”

Since then, Yernia hadn’t asked Cassian why he was guarding her against Juliet. Even though she thought the reason was absurd, after thinking about it all night, she couldn’t help but find Cassian’s thoughts funny. Anyway, it seemed like Juliet didn’t like Cassian that much. In reality, Yernia didn’t know for sure, but that’s how it seemed to her. Since she and Juliet exchanged names, Juliet started calling her ‘sister’ all the time. The girl who approached them so openly seemed adorable. Juliet could also treat Yernia comfortably because she hadn’t revealed their identities yet.

“Have you ever experienced the feeling of forgetting something when you were about to leave after deciding to make cookies together? How miserable do you think it feels?”

“Well, I’ve never felt that way. Even if I’m quiet, you have never forgotten about me.”

Had there ever been a time when Cassian was quiet? It was impossible to say that he had no presence at all.

“Although Juliet is pretty oblivious, I’ll let it go because she’s getting along well with you.”

Cassian’s victory smile was so childish that Yernia couldn’t bear to look at it. She wanted to say that Juliet, who was only fifteen, seemed mentally similar to him, but she managed to hold back.
