Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 341 - チャプター 350

MINAWhen I opened my eyes, I realized I wasn’t in the position I originally was. I remembered being so near the wall that my forehead was already pressed against it. However, at that moment, I felt caged by a different type of wall. My brain needed a full five seconds to understand what was happening.Elias’ arm was around my waist.And my leg was thrown over his.We were practically knotted together.My eyes flew open, and I shoved him away. Hard. Elias yelped as he rolled straight off the bed and hit the floor with a loud thud. “What the—?!”He sat up, hair sticking up in every direction, eyes wide. “What the heck was that for?”I crossed my arms over my chest, glaring at him. “You have a fiancée, but you’re hugging me.”It took him a second to process my words before pointing at me like I was the ridiculous one. “You’re the one who did it!”“No, you—”“Yes,” he cut in, shaking his head. “Remember?”I didn’t want to remember anything, but unfortunately, my brain betrayed me. A fla

MINAI quickly covered my lips with both hands and glared at him. The thunder was completely forgotten at this point.“You can’t,” I said, my voice muffled behind my palms.He chuckled in amusement. What was wrong with this man?“Right,” he said, shaking his head. “Sorry for asking.”He turned onto his back, staring up at the ceiling like the moment had never happened. At that moment, I stared at the side of his face—and, unfortunately, at his lips. There it was again. The sensation. That heavy, fluttering pulse in my chest that made no sense. It was like something inside me was tugging toward him, trying to close whatever space existed between us.It wasn’t normal.But still, I felt it.Maybe it was because I remembered it too clearly—the night when everything was dark and he took my first kiss. I didn’t understand it then, and I barely understood it now.My hand slowly dropped away from my mouth.He didn’t notice; he was staring upward, lost in his own thoughts.“Why do you even w

MINA “It’s perfect,” Amara said sweetly. She smoothed the fabric of her dress as she spoke, “I already have a dress. We can take this time to also announce our engagement—”Elias cut her off immediately.“More food,” he said, extending his plate toward me without even looking at her.I was a little surprised, but I took the plate from him. “Yes,” I said softly, rising to get more. When I returned, I placed it back in front of him, and he gave me a small smile.“Thanks.”I nodded. “You’re welcome.”Amara’s stare sharpened on me like she wanted to stab me with her eyelashes. I raised a brow instinctively. She didn’t like that. Her expression softened instantly into a fake smile before she turned toward Luna Carmen.“Luna, should we have a date? Just the three of us?” she asked, her tone eager and hopeful again. “Oh! Right? That would be great,” Carmen said, clapping lightly, already excited by the idea. She then looked at me. “Do you want to join us, Mina?”My lips parted—of course, I

ELIAS My mom was already paying for the tie, one she picked way too meticulously while I waited at the counter. She held it up twice, examined the stitching, asked the saleslady if they had “a slightly deeper forest shade,” then decided this one was fine after all. Amara’s arm circled around mine as she leaned closer, her perfume drifting in the space of the boutique. “You picked green?” she asked, even though she already knew the answer. I nodded and glanced at the tie. I picked it for a reason. It was the same color as the dress I bought for Mina yesterday.We could… match, I guess. Not that I’d say it out loud. “Did you know?” Amara continued, her voice turning soft. “It’s also my favorite color—”I cut her off when something outside the glass window tugged at my attention. “Where’s Mina?” I asked when I realized the bench outside was empty. She’d been sitting there earlier, hugging Mr. Sprinkles while kicking her legs like some bored kid. I’d been glancing at her from time to

ELIAS The hallway outside my room was already filled with the noise of staff members trying to make this party as perfect as possible. There was also the unmistakable hum of a crowd already gathering in the garden. I could even smell the hors d’oeuvres slipping through the doors.The last time we’d had a party this huge was when I was still studying in Elite. Back then, celebrations were practically a monthly requirement, with my parents sponsoring most of those for the East. After graduation, though, parties like this became rarer. My parents grew older and busier, and the main reason was that they didn’t have a child studying in Elite anymore.Which meant only one thing if they were going this big tonight—my mom was in one of her maximalist eras again.I stared at my reflection and shook my head as I tightened my tie. The suit was clean, charcoal black with a subtle sheen, tailored to perfection by my mother’s favorite designer. My hair was styled the way she liked it—swept back but
