Chapter 103: CH 104

Episode 104

“Huh? Uh, I just came here because I thought I was a little stiff.”

When I smiled awkwardly, Eugene slightly frowned and looked around at my face.

“Why is your face so grim-faced? What’s wrong?”

It’s all because of you, jerk.

“Oh, nothing. Never mind.”

But Eugene, who couldn’t understand what I was thinking, looked at me suspiciously and closed the gym’s door.

He naturally came and sat next to the chair where I was sitting, and asked with a face still of doubt.

“Is it really nothing? Your reaction is too suspicious for someone who said nothing.”

“Why don’t you believe me? It’s really nothing.”

“No, but it’s too suspicious to be nothing.”

Eugene squinted his eyes and argued against it.

“You don’t usually train at this time. Have you ever been to a training camp or gym earlier than me? You always come later than me.”

“No, I admit that I don’t come at this time of the day, but I’m not late, it’s just you came too early.”

Then Eugene tilted his head and said.

“Too early. I always arrive 30 minutes before the appointment time. Isn’t that normal?”

Looking at Eugene’s expression, I could notice that he said it because of pure curiosity, not to contradict me.

“No, you know…… oh, no. Yes.”

In the end, I gave up refuting.

‘There you go. What do you expect from the son of the Duke of Ace?’

Eugene looked at me as if he was still curious, and continued to refute when I didn’t bring up much more.

“And a normal person would have started practising as soon as he came to the gym, but you just sitting here looking worried. As if you can’t concentrate.”

Eugene will never know that he was included in the cause of my agonizing expression.

‘You don’t even know what is inside of other people’s mind……….’

I secretly glanced at Eugene so that I wouldn’t be caught.

Eugene was actually more quick-witted than others.

If I didn’t say it first, Eugene would never know that I was worried about the love potion case, but I thought it would be better to change the topic to prepare for a possible situation.

“Well, you’re at the gym, aren’t you training?”

“And you’re not doing it either. And I know you’re trying to turn the topic around.”

Tsk, then I kicked my tongue and turned my head.

‘That’s why it’s annoying to have a friend who is too quick-witted.’

But I never meant to tell you.

To be honest, it’s not easy to say it in front of him when I know that the other person secretly likes me.

‘It might be rude if the other person didn’t confess first.’

“I don’t know. You don’t have to know.”

He lowered his upper body, held his chin, and turned his eyes to the other side.

“Well, if you don’t want to say it, I won’t ask. I’m sorry.”

“We talked like that, but only 20 minutes have passed?”

“I guess so.”

He said, taking his eyes off the clock behind the gym.

“By the way, Spade.”

“Uh.”

“Can I ask you a question?”

Eugene asked, scratching his cheek awkwardly.

‘You’re not going to confess……..aren’t you?’

I looked at Eugene’s face with a rush of thinking, but it was not easy to figure out what he intended to say.

“If you’ve been blamed for that, it’s not your fault, it’s mine.”

“Huh?”

At first, I didn’t quite understand what he was saying.

“If it weren’t for me, you could have caught the monster.”

The question, why, came up to my throat.

“I shouldn’t have stopped by your castle.”

Eugene said in a subdued voice.

“If I hadn’t acted like a fool at the time–”

I got up and approached Eugene.

I asked in a trembling voice of anger, holding his shoulder that seemed surprised.

“What did he say?”

Eugene, who didn’t know what I was talking about, opened his eyes wide and asked.

“Spade, what’s wrong?”

I asked him, trying to control my anger as much as I could.

“What did your father say to you?”
