Ch. 7: The Throbbing of My Heart (SUN)
That evening…-.
I had returned to my room and was taking in the starry sky outside my window.
Sefir: "Please pardon the intrusion."
At that time, Sefir came to call on me in my room.
Sefir…
Relieved that I hadn't yet changed out of the dress, I went over to meet Sefir.
Sefir: "Thank you so very much for today. You danced wonderfully."
OO: "Really? I'm glad."
Sefir: "And…you were very beautiful."
When he says things like that…
OO: "…I wanted to thank you for teaching me."
I had to say something as I felt an immense pressure on my chest, and Sefir smiled kindly.
Sefir: "The pleasure was all mine. Thanks to you, it seems as if the visiting dignitaries were very pleased. I do not have the words…to express how grateful I am to you."
Sefir gently placed his fingers on my hand.
At the warmth of his hand, my heart leaped and I squeezed my eyes shut.
Sefir: "I am truly happy, from the bottom of my heart, dancing with you."
I want to ask him about what he said.
The words were buried beneath the throbbing in my heart, and I could do nothing as I was swallowed up by that sweet feeling.
