<strong>Side Story 6 – ke has be smaller (6)</strong>
TL: Zimming
Breaking away from the pressure to speak clearly in front of Josh, ke told everythingfortably. Thanks to this, his pronunciation became worse.
“I’m swo ashamed of myself.”
He stomped and sigh, then the voice of a young man was heard from behind him.
“Ah, cute…”
ke was startled and looked back at the sound.
“Who awe you!”
Edon and Jayden, who were hiding and watching ke, walked out.
“Have you heawd evewything?” (Have you heard everything?)
The two nodded at ke’s question. At that moment, ke’s face flushed red.
***
“Huwaa!”
“ke!”
When I heard that ke was crying, I hurried downstairs.
“Anthia!”
Then the crying ke came into my arms.
“ke, why are you crying? What’s going on?”
“The two men swanderes me.” (The two men ndered me.)
ke said while crying sadly. I could barely understand what he said.
“What’s going on?”
I asked Edon and Jayden who were standing next to me.
“That…”
The two men took a look at ke. Is it difficult to exin?
“ke, let’s go into the room first.”
I sent the crying ke to the bedroom and heard from the two.
“So you were watching ke in the stable, and you said he was cute?”
“Yes, only that.”
Edon nced at Jayden.
Then he lowered his head.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t understand why the people made a fuss about him at first, but I kept looking at him and I thought he’s so cute.”
“Don’t make excuses! I was barely holding it in but you said it out loud first!”
Edon being angry now seems a little weird….
Anyway, it was fortunate that nothing important happened.
“But did you see ke talking to Josh alone? You should have called me if that happened!”
I didn’t know he wasining to a horse after leaving angrily. How cute was he? If Jayden couldn’t stand it and said he was cute, he would have been really cute.
“I want to see ke’s cute side too!”
“…Is that a problem?”
Jayden was rather absurd. But this was a very important problem.
“If that happens in the future, make sure to call me!”
***
I made a personal request to them and went back to the bedroom.
Whatever the reason, ke was crying and I couldn’t leave him alone.
As I entered the room, I saw a bulging nket instead of ke.
“Sniff, sniff…”
ke was crying sadly with his nket over him.
Every time he sobbed, the nket went up and down a little.
It was heartbreaking to see that little body crying. Even if the reason is only because he was embarrassed to be caughtining to the horse.
“ke.”
His body trembled when I grabbed the nket.
“Dwon’t.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll be alone.”
“Well, should I go out?”
“Hiing.”
ke whined when I said that. I think he didn’t want me to go out.
I smiled and tried to take off his nket. ke then grabbed the nket to his side.
But his little finger didn’t have any strength, so it came off so easily.
“I twold you not to! But you took it off!”
ke then protested.
His habit of omitting vague sentences started again…
But seeing the tears dripping from his big eyes, it seems like he didn’t say it unintentionally.
I just wanted to hug him.
“ke, why are you crying?”
I hugged him and asked.
“They’ve swendered me.” (They’ve ndered me.)
“It’s unintentional, it’s because you’re cute.”
I tried tofort him, but ke burst into tears.
“Huwaa!”
“Why are you crying?”
“I dwon’t want to be cute to Anthia.” (I don’t want to be cute to Ancia.)
It’s even more cuter to cry after saying that.
But I desperately held back the smile on my lips.
“You’re a crybaby.”
“I’m not.”
“You are.”
“No, it’s bwecause of Baekhan.”
“Yes, yes okay. My husband is not a crybaby.”
I patted ke’s back. Then ke looked up at me.
“I’m Anthia’s husband right?”
“Of course, my husband is ke.”
I tapped ke’s chubby cheeks.
“Hehehe.”
Then, he smiled as if he had never cried. He’s really like a child…
“Are you upset today?”
“Yes…”
He nodded his head.
“I’m sorry. I was too excited to see you when you’re young, so I teased you a lot.”
“Do ywo like me getting smawwer? Does Anthia want me to stay smaw? You don’t like big ones?” (Do you like me getting smaller? Does Ancia want me to stay small? You don’t like big ones?)
ke’s expression quickly became sad.
“Why do you think so?”
“Anthia likes cute things.”
I said I like cute things when we were young, but did he still have that in mind?
He must have thought that I like the cute ke more than the grown up ke, so every time I said that he was cute, he must have a hard time.
I smiled and hugged ke tightly.
“That’s not it, I like ke no matter what you look like.”
“M, me?”
“I like my husband very much. I like you whether you’re cute or cool.”
“Ah…”
His face flushed red. His eyes are puffy from crying and his cheeks are red, so he looks like a ripe apple.
“And I haven’t seen ke when you were this young. I know everything about you, but I want to see it with my own eyes.”
I want to know everything about ke.
It was an unexpected situation, but I was happy to see ke when he was very young.
I swept his hair gently. Then ke smiled.
I guess this is aplete relief.
“Me too! I want to see Anthia when you wewe young!”
(Me too! I want to see Ancia when you were young!)
Umm…if I was the one younger…
“Bwaike! Bwaike!”
“Haha, Ancia, you can’t even pronounce your husband’s name?”
It was noticeable that my tongue will be shorter and I couldn’t even say “ke” properly, I will be teased by my groom.
Oh, no. I hate it.
It was terrible just imagining it.
“I’m not going to change. I won’t make Baekhan angry, I’ll also apologize right away.”
I quickly kissed ke on the cheek and gave him a ne.
“Oh! My ring!”
He smiled broadly at the wedding ring hung on the ne.
“Did you do it fow me?”
“Yes, you should have your wedding ring as well.”
“Thank you wife!”
ke looked at the ring and was as happy as a child. No, he’s a real child.
“Anthia, I love you!”
ke sped my hand with his small ones. I gave him a big hug.
It was a night of tears andughter.
***
“Your Highness, you are wonderful!”
“You look so majestic while you’re walking.”
When the news broke that ke criedst night, the knights were anxious to appease their little master.
They began praising ke’s every move in the morning.
While he was walking with his short legs, ke red at them.
Then the knights quickly fired the nextpliment.
“Your eyes look so magnificent too!”
Unlike their words, however, their expression was like an uncle who thought the child was so cute.
“Don’t.”
“We really mean it though…”
“Just say that I’m cute.”
“N, no!”
The knights shook their heads in a hurry. Everyone was told that he shed tears after hearing that he was cute.
They were also told so by Edon. He said, ‘It is forbidden to say that he is cute for the month.’
“Your Highness is very wonderful!”
“Yes! Indeed!”
“Enough, you can be honest with me. What am I syupposed to do fow being cute?” (Enough, you can be honest with me. What am I supposed to do for being cute?)
ke said as if he was annoyed.
He was worried about this when he was younger.
Does my wife like cute people? What if she doesn’t like me when I grew older?
There were also cute men even though they are an adult, but not ke.
What if she doesn’t like him who has changed so much?
He kept feeling depressed thinking about it, but he was worried for nothing.
ke grinned as he looked at the ring ne Ancia had hung on his neck.
His wife said she loves him no matter how his appearance is. She’s just happy to see him.
If Ancia had be younger, he would have felt the same way.
So it didn’t matter now.
He wasn’t interested in any other person than Ancia anyway.
“Can I really say you’re cute?”
“Whatevew.” (Whatever.)
The knights cheered when they received their master’s consent. And they hugged ke.
“So cute!”
“You look so cute when you walk!”
“You’re so cite while talking too!”
“Let go! I dwidn’t tell you to hug me!”
ke, who was hugged by the knights, shouted. The knights put ke down, but in the meantime, there was constant praise for his cuteness.
ke regretted allowing it, but it was toote.
