BUTTERFLY

UNFAITHFUL MAN

His bowed neck is a symbol of submission, but his eyes bear traces of hatred. Could there be two people in my head?

I looked in shock into the fiery red eyes of the woman in front of me. She had long black hair down to her waist, a small body, maybe even shorter than me. Looking at her appearance, I would have thought she was even weaker than me, but the energy she gave off reminded me of Kize. I felt she could be as strong as him, maybe even stronger. It was normal for Beera to be afraid of her and not attack, if she felt as I did.

"Look at me, I'm getting angry. Girl, why the f**k is anyone f*****g dumb enough to hear that. Yes or no, is it so hard to say that!" She said angrily and jumped over the couples and stood in front of me. I involuntarily took a step back. "Don't talk so loud!" I said in alarm. I looked around quickly to see if anyone could hear us. God's soldiers were looking for her everywhere, no matter how strong she was, she would get in trouble. After all, the soldiers were outnumbered.

"Why the f**k?" she asked and looked in the direction I was looking. She let out a frustrated breath. "Aren't you from this world?" I whispered and took a step towards her, sounding excited and confused. She frowned and took her eyes off the forest and looked at me with a grimace. Ah, yes, in my excitement and confusion I had asked a silly question.

"If I were from this world, would I ask that, and is it a state secret, girl, what's the rush?" She said and looked at the forest again. I couldn't tell if she saw something or thought I was hiding something. "I'm not from this world, I'm looking for God." When she continued, my hands and feet got tangled. I quickly looked around again, if someone heard us, she could get hurt and my identity could be revealed in the meantime.

"Don't talk so loud." I said and hurried over to her and grabbed her arm. She looked at me confused as I tugged her towards the house but she didn't stop me, I let go of her arm as I closed the door. She squinted and folded her arms across her chest. "I'm not interested in women, honey." I was silent for a few seconds because I couldn't understand what she was saying. Were women bothering her? But she was a woman after all.

"You can't tell anyone you come from another world. They will kill you." I said in a low voice, now was not the time to think about what she had said. I had to tell her everything quickly, the soldiers of God were roaming around here. Iske or Kize would recognize her on sight because they knew her identity and I had to tell her everything and tell her to hide before they arrived. Besides, Kize was going to give me information about the ball, the yellow light could appear at any moment.

"Are you high, girl, who's going to kill me?" The woman said and gave a short laugh, she had a sarcastic demeanor. In fact, her posture and gestures were free and casual, just like a man's demeanor. Or she could have been so relaxed because of her self confidence. And I was surprised by her confidence, yes, you could tell she was strong, but it was surprising how comfortable she was in a world she didn't know. After all, she didn't know how strong people were here. Shouldn't she be careful?

I didn't get any bad energy from her, maybe it was because I sympathized with her for having fallen into an unfamiliar world like me. "Ma'am, the women of God kill anyone who is sent as a sacrifice, you must not reveal yourself in this way. Otherwise you might get in trouble." She frowned when I said that and took a step towards me, lowering the arms folded across her chest.

"What sacrifice? I'm not a f*****g sacrifice, I'm after my prey." She said and looked me up and down. Her eyes narrowed in a skeptical manner. "And you're still alive?" She raised one eyebrow. Yes, she was right to be skeptical.

What, what do you mean?

"Did they tear your wings off?" I took a step back, my breath caught in my throat, my hands as cold as ice. How could she know all this? How could she know that I was a sacrifice, that I even had wings? Was she reading my mind like Iske? No, if she could read my mind, she would have known everything, she wouldn't have asked.

I must have made my fear too obvious, because when she saw my expression, her skeptical expression disappeared, she exhaled deeply and sat down on the couch with a roll of her eyes. "Calm down, I've been through your world before I came here. I'm good with the essence of living things, you have the same essence." She crossed her legs. Watching her relaxed demeanor, I realized a little too late that she had passed through my world. "You went to my world!" I said, dumbfounded. My voice was a little too loud. "Yes, yes, I did, shout louder so everyone can hear." She was a rude woman with a foul mouth. Her delicate body had the opposite attitude and strong energy. It was as if the soul of a big man was trapped inside this small body.

"What was it like there, did you ever go to the kingdom? Did you see the prince, the princess, and the flowers in the palace..." I said excitedly as I walked up to her. She looked up and frowned slightly. "You are connected to the royalty, aren't you?" She said, taking a deep breath. Why did I feel like she was upset, had something happened or was I misunderstanding? "Yes." I said, nodding my head. But instead of answering my questions, the woman got up from the couch, slapping her palms against her knees, and headed for the outer door.

"I didn't see any prince or princess, anyway, I have work to do. I'd better find the brats." After muttering, she opened the door. But before she went out the door, she looked at me out of the corner of her eye. It was as if she was going to say something but wasn't sure if she should say it. She took a deep breath and shook her head from side to side. "I smell demons around here, don't turn off the lights in the evening when you sleep." She said and left, closing the door behind her. I was still staring at the door, trying to understand what had happened, but after a short while the door opened again.

The red eyed woman poked her head over the edge of the door and looked at me. "You confused the f**k out of me, do you know where God lives?" she asked with a smile, as if she was annoyed with me. I pointed my finger in the direction of the city. "There is a village down there, if you go down the village you will see the highway. The buses from there go to the city where the god lives. I don't know the exact location either, but he might live in the palace." She nodded and closed the door without saying anything.

I stood there for a short while looking at the door, but I quickly went and locked it because I felt a chill inside. The demon could have been the monster I saw in the forest. Most likely it was, and this woman had called it 'my prey'. But Kize and Iske had searched for that monster for months without finding it. This woman had followed it from other worlds, was she really that powerful?

I sat on the couch and touched the necklace around my neck. Should I call Kize and tell him about this? But it would be ridiculous to call him to me when there was no emergency. Anyway, his light would come soon to tell me about the ball, and I could tell him then. Besides, I didn't want to call him before she left. After all, she had come here to do something good, and it wouldn't be right for them to hurt her. Besides, would they hurt someone who had come here to catch that monster.

As I stood there thinking, I let out a little scream when Grandma's green light suddenly flashed. "I'm not coming home tonight Een, be careful and lock the doors." I heard her voice and soon the light went out. Oh, Grandma! Really, tonight!

I sank down on the couch, apparently I was alone tonight. I wondered if the woman had left, if I should tell Kize, but if she was still around, they could hurt her. I didn't think they would care what she had come to this world for. The people here, especially the women, were extremely cruel to those who came as sacrifices. I've even heard of them killing small children. Ah, how exactly was I going to sleep tonight?

I was scared and it was hard not to call Kize. I sighed again and got up from the couch and went to my room. Of course I didn't go inside without turning on the light. After what that woman had said, I wouldn't even sit under the shade of a tree. And why was the demon hanging around me all the time? Ah, I should have told that woman. That the demon was chasing me, that many people in the villages had disappeared... I asked about my family like an i***t.

I closed the curtains tightly before lying down on the bed. Ah, did Grandma really choose the time when she wouldn't come home! It was frustrating to always be alone when something bad happened to me. Sighing, I pulled the covers over me, I wanted to put my head under the covers and hide, but if I didn't look around, I wouldn't be able to defend myself because I wouldn't know if something attacked me. If that monster appeared in front of me, I would definitely have a heart attack and die instantly, not defend myself.

Oh, why couldn't I get out of trouble? I wondered if that woman had left, would she come if I called her and told her to stay here? The people she called brats could stay too, I definitely didn't want to be alone.

I gripped the duvet tightly as I heard a rattling sound in the living room. It was so quiet that I could even hear the sound of the little wind blowing outside. With a pang of fear in my heart, I listened around, waiting for the same sound to come again. I could have started hearing nonsense out of fear, or it could have come from outside. Maybe it was Kamer?

When Kize's yellow light appeared in front of the window, I jumped out of my seat, took a deep breath and got out of bed with that anxiety. Feeling all this was definitely weighing me down, I was getting very tired.

When Kize said, "What happened?" I let go of the breath I had been holding for so long and started breathing fast. My heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to burst. "Nothing happened," I said, swallowing, my throat dry. "I was scared when your light suddenly flashed." I continued and put my hand over my heart. There was absolutely no need for women to kill me, I was going to die of fright very soon anyway.

"You were afraid of the light?" he said, as if asking. His voice was wheezy and he sounded out of breath, as if he was exhausted. After all, they had been trying to catch that monster for months, hardly sleeping. It was normal to be tired. "Yeah, I'm a bit nervous because Grandma's not home." I said and sat on the bed that I had just gotten up in fear and took a deep breath. At that moment, I remembered what had just happened. My eyes opened wide and I raised my hand excitedly. "Do you know what happened to Kize?" As I spoke excitedly, Kize came out of the yellow light and put his hand on the back of his neck.

I could see that his neck was wet with sweat. "What happened?" He said and took off his belt and left it on the nightstand with his sword. Immediately afterwards he sat down next to me.

Really, what had happened?

"I thought you were busy?" I said, looking into his yellow eyes. He smiled and reached out and stroked my hair. His breathing still hadn't returned to its normal pace. When he wrapped his fingers around my arm I realized I was still in my everyday clothes, I was so scared I wasn't even wearing pajamas.

His eyebrows rose as he squeezed my arm with his fingers. "Oh, you've put on muscle!" He said with fake surprise. Immediately after, he pouted and nodded his head in appreciation. I couldn't help but smile and hit him on the shoulder with the back of my hand. He grimaced and grabbed his shoulder. "Een, my shoulder is broken!" he said, throwing himself back and then suddenly grabbed my hand and took my fingers in his mouth. I tried to free my fingers from his teeth as a hoarse laugh escaped my mouth. "Kize, have you decided to stop being a bear and become a wolf!" I said between my laughter.

As I tried to free my hand from his mouth, I approached his body and a foreign odor caught my attention. I paused and approached his neck and sniffed it, trying to figure out what it was. It was like something, something sweet, but I couldn't put my finger on it. "What do you smell?" I said as Kize removed my fingers from his mouth.

"Smell?" he asked, lifting up the collar of his shirt and bringing it to his nose and sniffing. Then he shook his head from side to side and stood up, not looking at me as he took off his shirt and pants. "I'm going to take a shower, ma'am, may I?" I smiled and stood up and went to the closet. Whatever it was, he didn't like the smell either.

As I was taking a clean towel out of the closet, he came up to me and quickly took the towel and left the room without even looking at me. I couldn't help but frown, was it the smell that bothered him? Or had I said something wrong, did he feel bad because I thought he smelled bad?

I exhaled a deep breath and sat back on the bed. While waiting for Kize to arrive for a while, I got up because I was bored and after I put on my pajamas took his clothes and threw them in the dirty closet. When I put his t-shirt in the closet, I noticed the stain on the edge. I didn't know if it was right to check his privacy, but I couldn't stop myself from taking the shirt and checking it. I looked at the red stain, scratched it with my fingernail and realized that it was a blood stain.

Had something happened to someone, or could it be the demon's blood? I shook my head from side to side as I thought of Irine. No, it couldn't be Irine. After all, she was a woman of God and I didn't think anyone would harm her easily. Besides, Kize might be angry with Irine, but the idea that he would do such a thing, harm her, was absurd. But... Irine's fear?

I looked all over the T-shirt, but there were no other stains, maybe this blood stain could have happened during training or something. After all, if even my training was this hard, their training could have involved injuries. I exhaled deeply again and brought the t-shirt to my nose and sniffed it. There was no odor except for the slight sweat and that sweet smell. Shaking my head from side to side, I put the T-shirt back in the dirty closet and went back to bed. But there had been no sound from Kize for a while.

Ah, what was he doing, taking a ten-year shower?

When I got out of bed again, I didn't know whether to bother him or not, but I went to the bathroom door and knocked. "Kize?" I called out and waited for a response, but there was no sound. I knocked again. "Kize, do you need anything?" I asked, this time raising my voice a little. I waited for a short time for an answer, but when I didn't hear it again, I started to get worried. Just as I was about to knock again, the door opened.

The hot steam from the bathroom filtered out from behind Kize and hit me in the face. He was completely naked except for the towel wrapped around his waist. He squinted at me as he dried his hair with the towel in his hand. I took one look at his large and shapely body and looked into his eyes again. I immediately frowned and put my hands on my waist. "Why don't you make a sound Kize, I thought something happened." I said with a grumpy attitude.

He was surprised by my reaction, as if he expected my reaction to be different. As a small smile formed on his face, he wrapped his arm around my waist and leaned my body against his wet, naked body. I was tickled as he bent his head and sniffed my neck. "You're not a very clever woman." As he said that, a drop of water dripped from his hair, fell on my neck and ran down to my waist. I swallowed involuntarily.

"Why did you say that?" I asked and he lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and hugged his neck. He had a wry smile on his face as he looked into my eyes. Wait a minute, did he just call me an i***t?

"What the hell, I'm a smart woman!" I said angrily. He shook his head and we were in the room. He didn't say anything so I tapped him on the shoulder, "Quick, tell me I'm a smart woman!" I said irritably. When he shook his head again, he put me on my back on the bed and leaned over me. "You are an intelligent woman, but not in everything. There's a lot you haven't seen, a lot you need to learn." He said in a low voice and got off me, leaving a small kiss on my neck. The yellow light shone brightly as he quickly dried his body with the towel in his hand and pulled out a pair of boxers. I covered my eyes with my hands when I realized he was going to remove the towel from his waist.

"I'm not looking, you can get dressed comfortably." I said, to make him feel comfortable. He might not feel comfortable if he thought I was looking at him. I felt him lie down on the bed just after he made a sound like laughing. When I took my hands away from my eyes, thinking he was getting dressed, I saw his yellow eyes. "I don't mind you watching me, Een, you can look as much as you want. Of course, I guess you won't mind if I watch you too." I blushed when he said that. I swallowed involuntarily, and when his eyes landed on my lips, I touched my fingers to his butterfly tattoo.

I closed my eyes as he placed his palm on my cheek and ran his fingers through my hair. My lips parted as I felt his warm breath. My heart raced with excitement, even though the sight of him naked was enough to excite me.

One hand grabbed my waist as he sucked on my upper lip. The unpleasant sweet smell from before was gone, the smell of shampoo was much better. When he put his hand under my shirt and caressed my bare skin, we took a deep breath at the same time. But he kept the kiss short. He looked into my eyes and smiled, kissed me on the cheek and lay down next to me. He took a deep breath as he laid me on his lap. "I'm tired, I need a good sleep." He sniffed my hair and wrapped his arms tightly around me. I smiled as I settled into his comfortable wide chest.

"Een." He said, lying quietly for a while. He sounded sleepy. "Yes?" I murmured, his chest so warm and cozy that I was about to fall asleep. "What exactly are relationships like in your world?" I pouted and looked up at his face. "What do you mean?" I asked, even though I was sleepy, I hadn't been spending much time with him lately and I missed the conversation.

He took his eyes off the ceiling and looked at me. "You know we've been with more than one person, that was different with you, wasn't it?" He said thoughtfully. I couldn't help but frown, was he dating a woman other than me? "In my world, if two people are together, they are faithful to each other. There are those who don't, of course, but they usually break up because it's a betrayal." I said with a shrug. He mumbled as if thinking and looked up at the ceiling again. His behavior made me suspicious.

"So you'll break up with me if I date other women other than you?" I nodded my head in the affirmative. Loyalty was important, and there was no point in him being with me if I wasn't enough for him. He took a deep breath and looked at me again and smiled. "I would walk away from all women for you." He said, stroking my hair. My eyes narrowed. "Are you dating other women, sir?" I said and he licked his bottom lip and reached up and kissed my cheek.

"That's why I said you were an i***t, I thought you knew and were okay with it." I frowned when he said that. The smell today? Was it another woman's scent! My eyes widened, flustered by what had just occurred to me, I stepped out of his arms and took a sitting position. "Kize, are you serious?" I asked, wanting to believe he was joking, but when he reached out and took my hand I knew it was true.

"This is normal in my world, Een. I thought you were aware of it and that you were okay with it, but you can be sure it won't happen anymore." When he said that, I felt my heart ache, there was something like a ball in my throat, forcing me to cry and hurting me. I swallowed hard and took a deep breath. "The smell today?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. He bit his lower lip and, like me, he sat up and looked into my eyes.

I didn't want to look at him so I averted my eyes and looked at his butterfly tattoo. "I didn't want to come to you like that, but when I realized your fear, I wanted to come right away." He said and grabbed my chin and lifted my head to look at his face. "Did I upset you?" I nodded my head in the affirmative. Clenching his teeth, he closed his eyes and after a moment he opened them and looked at me. He seemed to be trying to figure out what to say.

"It's not because I don't want you or because I find you not enough, Een. It's a spontaneous situation and it's not s*x with emotion. You can think of it as meeting the needs of both parties." When he said that, I shrugged and looked down at my hands. I didn't know what to say or what to think, what to do. I didn't know if I should break things off with him, or if I should continue. I definitely wanted to continue, but I was so heartbroken. I never thought someone could hurt me this much.

I knew he was going to hug me when he reached around my waist, and I wanted him to. He hesitated, but he wrapped his hand around my waist and lifted me up and sat me between his legs. I closed my eyes as he hugged my waist tightly. "I didn't know it was something that would upset you." He murmured and put his chin on my head. "I wouldn't have done it if I knew, are you going to break up with me?" He said, squeezing my waist tighter. I took a shaky breath as I clung to his body completely.

"I don't want to get away from you." I answered him. I was silent for a while, thinking about my answer. I really didn't want to get away from him, but it upset me too much. "It won't happen again, I promise you." I nodded and opened my eyes and looked at his naked skin. Even though I was relieved that it wouldn't happen again, I still had the urge to cry. We hugged for a long time, he stroked my hair and waited for me to calm down. When I felt better, he pulled back and looked at my face.

He placed his hands on both my cheeks and looked at my lips. Immediately afterwards he looked into my eyes as if asking permission. I put my hand on his chest, I wanted to push him away when I remembered that he had been kissing another woman just before coming here but I couldn't . I closed my eyes as if giving him permission, he wasted no time and kissed me on the lips. I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing or the wrong thing, I had no experience in my life to guide me.

He was out of breath when he parted his lips from mine and pulled back. He looked into my eyes. "Prom is tomorrow night, by the way." My eyes widened when he said that. What do you mean tomorrow night!
