He saw a familiar scene— Roselle’s dream world.

As this was his third time coming to this place, he was no longer surprised. Only, he wondered why she summoned him.

Roselle was sitting at a table in the garden, drinking tea. On her opposite side was a half-eaten cake and a teacup. It clearly showed that someone else was there just a moment ago, and Seol Jihu had a good idea who that was.

“I finally got her to go back just now.”

Roselle took a sip of tea before speaking calmly. For some reason, her voice seemed to be trembling very faintly.

The petal suddenly screamed in the middle of talking and flew far away.

[Aaak. Aaaaaak. It’s too strong!]

Seol Jihu stared at the petal being torn apart by the wind, then snapped out of his daze at the sound of Roselle clearing her throat.

“Kuhum, anyway, it wasn’t too bad.”

He felt like Roselle was trying to change the subject and gladly went along with it.
