I remembered Narmi saying something like, “My sister is acting suspicious lately. She keeps sneaking out at night. Is there another man besides you, Theo?”
Since the sisters shared one body, it wasn’t easy to make moves.
As I was thinking about the difficulties of meeting Mirna, Mirna looked around then she grabbed my hand, seemingly understanding my silence.
Mirna’s hand, which slipped into mine, was warm and soft.
“But even so, you mustn’t look at others, okay?”
“Others?”
“While we’re not officially married, that doesn’t mean you can go running around with other women.”
“Ah-.”
“And aren’t you a bit too close to Lady Lioness these days? I know you promised to workout every morning, but....”
It seemed that Mirna didn’t quite like the fact that I met and exercised with Elga every morning.
In fact, besides today, she had subtly asked a few times like, “What did you do while you were with Lady Lioness?” or “While working out, you’re not too close to each other, are you?”
Seeing her directly asking today seemed that it’d been really bothering her.
“As I said before, I just work out with Lady Lioness.”
Sometimes, when the atmosphere becomes ambiguous, we would also do other exercises in a narrow corner of the park. But there was no need to mention that yet.
“Don’t worry. Don’t you know better than anyone that I cherish Mirna-nim? I am a devoted man!”
“I know that...”
Mirna nodded with a resigned feeling. However, it still seemed that she didn’t quite like the idea of me exercising with Elga.
Seeing that she couldn’t bring herself to say, “don’t do it,” I could sense that her thoughts were somewhat complicated.
Perhaps she was thinking that if she got too strict, it’d show that she didn’t trust me, or she was afraid that I would hate her because she was a narrow-minded woman?
Well, since Calm Thinking didn’t activate, I could only vaguely guess that there must be more complex reasons at play.
I thought I should intervene before Mirna got caught up into a grim line of thought.
“Doesn’t Mirna-nim also talk to men?”
“Me, talking to men? What are you talking about?”
“Just recently, during Professor Balan’s Ancient Dead Language class. You were talking to other men.”
“Isn’t that unavoidable since it’s a group discussion?”
Mirna retorted, defending herself. She probably felt it was unjust. And, in truth, I knew very well that she didn’t talk much with other men.
She was also very cold towards them.
“But still, it seemed like those men had feelings for Mirna-nim. You even received a teacup as a gift from one.”
Mirna was beautiful and she wore that with pride.
Pretty women naturally attracted attention and gained popularity among men. Because of that, Mirna often received gifts.
Even I occasionally received letters from female students as of late.
However, Mina furrowed her brows as if she had a lot to say.
“I broke it in front of your eyes. Why are you suddenly talking about this? By any chance, Theo Gospel, do you not trust me...?”
“Of course not. I believe in Mirna-nim. That’s why I’m asking Mirna-nim to believe in me as much as I believe in Mirna-nim.”
“Heueung....”
Mirna seemed at a loss for words, unwilling but unable to say anything. I sincerely believed in her. I trusted Mirna. In fact, Mina acted exactly how I expected she would.
However, the problem was that Theo Gospel couldn’t live up to the image that Mirna believed in.
