I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Hearing Zaki’s words, Hinari’s heart skipped a beat. Even though she already knew the meaning of those mixed flowers, it was still completely different when she heard him say it out loud. Hinari wanted to run upstairs so she could squeal, jump and shout in joy in her room. Gladly, she was able to contain herself and she grabbed Zaki from behind instead. She buried her face on his back and wrapped her hands around his waist, squeezing him tight.

At that moment, the blushing Zaki cleared his throat as he slightly turned his head to look at her.

"Hinari, let’s go at the courtyard." He said and after a while, Hinari loosened up her grip. She then moved in front of him with a wide smile as she put both arms up.

"Beauty, my knight, carry me." She ordered like a mischievous seductive queen, no, more like a child demanding her father to lift her up.

Seeing how bright her smile was and seeing that there was almost no trace of pain and sadness in her eyes anymore, Zaki felt so relieved. He felt as though his heart was being miraculously sewed back together when she was cheerful and happy like this. The thought about dying and hurting her in the end was starting to evaporate.

At this moment, Zaki felt like Hinari was infecting him again. She was infecting him with her cheerful soul. She really was like a happy tiny ball filled with energy and life. She was really strong. As he looked at her, all Zaki wanted to do was to keep on making her smile. He wanted to make up for lost time. He didn’t want to think about other things anymore. All he wanted to do was make her happy for as long as he lived.

"Ohh, wait. I forgot!" Hinari, suddenly slapped her forehead, causing Zaki’s brows to knot.

"What is it?" he asked curiously when Hinari simply grinned at him.

"Hehe, I forgot that you’re just a normal knight now." She said and Zaki’s brows creased even more.

"So?"

"So, carrying me is now out of a question. Besides, you’re so damn beautiful tonight so let’s do this instead." As Hinari talked, she moved to stand beside Zaki. She then held out her arm that was between them in front of her, her elbow slightly bent, as she placed her other arm behind her back. She stood up with her back straight and her head held high, as she waited for Zaki to move. When he didn’t, she looked at him and gestured for him to take her arm, as if he was the lady partner and she was the esteemed gentleman.

"Okay my dearest beauty, hold onto me so we can now go." Hinari spoke again when Zaki remained silent.

However, the next thing he did surprised Hinari. Zaki moved but instead of putting his hand on her arm, he suddenly scooped her up.

"Normal knights can do normal things like this, you understand?" Zaki seemed a bit annoyed as he said these words. Hearing him, Hinari bit her lip but she still smiled widely.

"Hehe, I’m sorry. But you can’t blame me. I also want to be your knight in shining armor. I also want to pamper you okay? I want to at least do some cool things too."

"..."

"I want to do more things for you. I can’t carry you since you’re quite heavy so... wait, my beauty. How about I start weight lifting soon? If I gather more muscles, don’t you think I can-"

"Don’t even think about it!"

"But beauty-"

"NO."

"Listen to me first, beauty. I’m doing this-"

"I said, NO."

"... Why are you so against it? It’s not like I want to be the man or anything, I just want to be able to help you. What if you fall in the bathroom or something, do you just want me to sit there and scream and cry? Also, I watched this really cool drama with a female lead who is really strong. She protected her man using only her own strength. She was a real badass, even throwing assholes around like they were mere bags of cotton candies. Well yeah, that’s fictional, obviously, but I think I can grow strong too once I train my bones and muscle-" As Hinari continued speaking, Zaki’s veins were already popping out while Hinari didn’t even notice that they already reached the courtyard.

As soon as Zaki saw the bench under a little tree, he hastily walked towards it and sat there as he made Hinari sat on his lap. When the girl finally realized it, Zaki suddenly kissed her, forcefully stopping her from talking.
