Chapter 17

Eileen secretly drew the lines connecting his long fingers, the back of his hand, and his arm and elbow, she took a peek. Since ancient times, being fascinated by beautiful things has been the duty of fairies. Suddenly this thought occurred to me. If he touched me like that slime, would I feel good too? It was a strange imagination.

“Have you seen everything?”

“Huh.”

I secretly took a peek at it, but when our eyes met, there was nothing more embarrassing than this. Even the fact that I had a strange fantasy about him played a part. It even seemed like Richard had noticed it for some time and even gave her enough time to appreciate it.

“That’s because you have a great body. I think humans are amazing. I wish I had been born as a human.”

Eileen expressed regret. It wasn’t just because of his beauty and greatness. That other humans are not like that.

Because I knew it implicitly. Flowers that bloom like jewels and it’s always daytime Purple sky. The fairy world was beautiful, with gentle winds blowing every day, but it was like stagnant water. It is a puddle that is beautiful and never decays, but cannot go anywhere. Ordinary fairies treated Eileen as something special when they saw her wanting to leave the cozy fairy world and mix with the human world to have fun. But Eileen’s emptiness grew. Something changed for Eileen when she picked up a piece of paper rolling around on the side of the road. On a very worn piece of paper, it was written that they were recruiting fairies to help in the tavern. I was intrigued by the first job I discovered. Since the announcement was made more than three years ago, I wondered if they were still looking for a fairy, but surprisingly, Eileen was the only applicant who came for an interview after posting the announcement.

That was the beginning. I had a dream for the human world. The stories about humans told by the bar’s customers made Eileen’s heart flutter. Eileen was able to shake off her long- standing lethargy just a little from the new heartbeat she felt. It was a special and precious experience for Eileen. Because the heart pounding at that time is what made her now in the human world.

‘Did I just talk about myself too much?’

Eileen could see the coldness in his beautiful face. His blue eyes felt particularly cold. Richard asked Eileen after a moment of silence.

“Does Eileen want to become human?”

His questions were closer to pure rather than accusatory. However, it was a little painful for Eileen, who had been denied her will all along.

It was also a question that felt poignant. She decided to answer honestly.

“I want to have experiences that only humans can share. How do humans think and how can they have such bold hearts and share such extraordinary love?”

It wasn’t that I wanted to change the species. Because that would be the authority of very high gods. She wanted the human experience. Special moments that a fairy cannot experience. Among them, what Eileen was most curious about was love. Fairies are born in nature. Those born in the same year were each other’s sisters and colleagues, so they knew well about family affection and friendship. But it wasn’t love.

‘What kind of feeling is this, can it be thrown away?’
