Let me be a mob! - Chapter 129- The drama~2
[Jin’s POV:]
I knew at some point in my life I would have to face this. The sin of loving more than one girl has always haunted me and now I was standing at that point where if I didn’t sort things out, I would never be able to create harmony between us.
Although Fiona and Dia were fine with being my lovers, Alzeith wasn’t. More like she was completely against it. And I can understand her stance. After all, the world we come from and the possessiveness she carried for me didn’t allow her to see me with someone else.
“In our previous life, you didn’t need anyone else than me. Then why now…why are these two so important for you that you are stressing so much?”
I can sense frustration and helplessness in Alzeith’s voice which brought my feet to a halt.
With a sigh, I informed her something that I have said in the past as well, “Just like my previous life, I was an orphan, Al. And after joining the academy I thought I would be alone as usual. However, it was Fiona and Dia who approached me and helped me get to know the world outside of solitary.”
“But did they approach you without any reason? Didn’t you save their life which made them even aware of your existence?”
Fiona frowned at that question before she asked, “What do you mean?”
Alzeith grinned in response before she scoffed, “I know what is your background and how you usually tend to behave around others. I have studied you both since I knew this moment would arrive sooner or later.”
Taking a pause, her grin turned into a smirk before she added, “If Jin hadn’t saved you back in your hometown and also during that Academy test, then had you both even cared about a disowned child of a low-ranked noble?”
Hearing her words, Dia’s eyes fell to the ground, and a sad expression clouded her face. Fiona was trying hard to refute her but couldn’t find a word to let out.
In a way, Alzeith was right. But I can’t simply judge Fiona and Dia based on what she said. After all,
“Aren’t you the same, Al? If I remember correctly, if I hadn’t saved you from those goons late at night then you, the daughter of a businessman, would have never noticed a simple nobody like me.”
My words made her startle as she complained, “Are you now taking their side?!”
Okay, she looked pissed. But to make things clear, I had to say it.
I sat down on the chair to face the three before speaking,
“See, our lives haven’t been the simplest one. We have faced numerous challenges and crossed various obstacles. And because of those, we came to know each other…and fell in love. So rather than accusing each other, can I ask you all three to calm down and listen to me for a moment?”
Alzeith huffed and crossed her arms on her chest. Well, that much was enough to tell that she was listening to me.
Dia also sat down on the chair and focused on me, just like Fiona.
I took a long breath and paused for a moment to collect my thoughts. I had prepared a whole speech to say in order to gain their trust…but at that moment for some reason, I forgot everything.
And the words that came out, were solely based on what I felt,
“You see….it’s just I have not been very good at associating with people….believing a stranger isn’t something I ever feel comfortable with. And adoring them to the point of blindly trusting them…I never thought I would ever be able to bring myself to do it….”
My heart pounded painfully in my chest like someone had cast a spell on me. My eyes turned hazy as I kept looking downward and continued to speak thoughtlessly,
“…I just wanted to live through things somehow. I never expected to gain someone’s love and trust…I never did anything to gain someone’s favor….but when you three started to pay attention…gave me priority and held me in such high regard…I felt happy. I felt my existence wasn’t unwanted and that I also could have a family for myself. And if I-”
“Jin…” I blinked in surprise to find Fiona and Alzeith kneeling in front of me with concern written on their faces.
“Ah….” Now I realize why they are so worried. Apparently, I was weeping like a fool.
“I am sorry you have to see this….” I tried to wipe away these droplets which I thought I had long abandoned.
Alzeith held my hand and with a shake of her head, she began to wipe it for me with her gentle fingers, “You were thinking about your mother again, right?”
Although I resisted to think about her, but I couldn’t, “Yeah…I was. But let’s not focus on that for now.”
Holding Fiona and Alzeith’s hand, I asked, “Can you please promise me that you would try to get along? What we have to face in the future, we will surely need each other’s strength.”
In the end, it was up to their free will whether they could accept each other or not. I can only try to convince them. If they don’t agree, then I surely wouldn’t abandon any of them and would rather keep them apart. It would be a little troublesome to travel between realms to spend time with them, but that would be the best solution.
However, “I need to talk to them in private.” Alzeith got up and declared her intentions.
” I want to talk to you, as well. ” Fiona also got up and declared her consent.
I looked at Dia, who had been standing there until now without a word.
“You don’t need to force yourself, Dia,” I told her but she soon shook her head.
“If I want to be with Jin, I need to build some confidence.” I guess you weren’t supposed to say that aloud. But well, it was an adorable sight to witness. Clenching her fist and nodding to herself, the Princess indeed looked quite cute.
*Stare*
*Glare*
Being directed by such intense glares from either side, I coughed and got up.
“Then…I will be waiting outside.”
I just now hope, that they just don’t end up arguing again.

A/N:- And that’s it. I won’t be showing their conversation in the next chapter and will continue the plot. Maybe in a side story, I might detail what they would be conversing about.
