“Younghee?”

Cheolsu called his childhood friend’s name and approached him.

At the same time, he realizes that his actions were a mistake.

“Ugh!”

Younghee rolled her body, shaking her shoulders.

It’s a scared face.

“Ah, I’m sorry. Oh, can you please not come?”

The black eyes continue to shake anxiously.

Holding the blanket tightly in my hands,

I kept looking at this person’s notice.

It was like looking at a fearful person.

Cheolsu’s face, which was trying to feign composure, hardened.

Younghee is now afraid of herself.

“It’s okay, Younghee. Because I won’t hurt you.”

“Well, that’s not it. Actually… I get anxious when other people approach me… … .”

Younghee took a step back.

The bed was already in the corner and there was nowhere to go.

Trying to get away somehow.

In the meantime, I kept checking myself.

“Oh, no. Sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. What can I say? According to the doctor, it’s physiological.”

“… … .”

“So…don’t cry.”

Are you crying?

Am I making that kind of face?

Younghee made a guilty expression.

Even when I am shaking with fear, I am considerate of the feelings of others.

She had the kind personality of Younghee.

‘He’s lost his memory and is afraid of me….’

Social phobia.

Suddenly that word comes to mind.

I believed that I could do anything as long as I could save Younghee.

I thought I would accept any result.

But, that reaction.

I feel like my heart is breaking more than I could imagine.

While Cheolsu was barely able to get his mind together,

Younghee was looking at him nervously.

“I’m sorry… … .”

Cheolsu too belatedly noticed Younghee’s expression.

A mixture of fear and at the same time feeling sorry for the other person.

It was such a messed up face.

It was easy to realize that this was Younghee’s sincerity.

Just like when a person smells a bad smell, they frown without realizing it.

It is unlikely that Younghee reacted consciously either.

“It’s okay. Younghee, you didn’t do anything wrong.”

Cheolsu chose his words carefully.

I took a careful step forward.

“Sorry, sorry! I was wrong!”

Just one step.

Nevertheless, Younghee reacted sensitively.

I cover myself with a blanket and look over, trembling.

Then he smiled.

It looked awkward to anyone, as he forced his clothes up.

“Well, I don’t have anything. I have no money and no parents. Me, I’m useless. So… can we just leave it alone?”

A facial expression to please the other person.

Younghee would not have been the type of child to make that kind of expression.

The relationship between myself and Younghee was not like that.

But now.

The distance feels so far away.

“Younghee, don’t you know?”

“Ehehe, sorry. I-I don’t remember that. sorry. Don’t be angry.”

What on earth is this?

How should I accept this situation?

It might have been okay as far as losing my memories.

But what should you do toward a child who trembles just by looking at you?

Isn’t this why he’s the only thing that makes Younghee afraid?

I’d rather not be confident-

-Drur.

It was then that the door opened.

It was Eugene with a white bandage on his hand.

Eugene noticed Cheolsu and took a deep breath.

“Withdrawal-”

“Yu, Mr. Eugene!”

Suddenly, Younghee jumped out of bed and ran towards me.

He hides behind Eugene’s back.

It was as if they were wary of strangers behind their parents’ backs.

Eugene also looked slightly troubled in response.

Because Cheolsu’s expression was indistinguishable from the rolling corpse.

“Withdrawal-”

“Sorry.”

Cheolsu interrupted Eugene’s speech midway.

There was no way I could keep my cool in the current situation, no matter how much I retreated.

Are you saying that Eugene is okay and I am not?

“Thank you for saving Younghee. But now…now… … .”

Cheolsu could not say any more and lowered his head.

Soon, the door to the hospital room slowly opened as if he couldn’t bear it any longer.

****

Hospital corner chair.

Cheolsu sat there, leaning back.

Ah, damn it.

The human heart can become this miserable.

I almost missed the days when I was fighting only for Eugene.

-Tiring.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang.

When I checked, a large sum of money, several hundred, was received.

Cheolsu threw it without any change in his expression.

“Oops. Do you at least confirm it? I put in quite a lot.”

Suddenly, I turned my head and saw Secretary Park walking towards me.

Are you suddenly using all the formal language? That’s what I thought.

He naturally sat down next to me.

Cheolsu quietly looked ahead and opened his mouth heavily.

“……Why did Younghee become like that?”

“It is said to be a type of PTSD. There is no problem physically, but it is said that he is so mentally overwhelmed that he rejects memories and people. I am even afraid of the doctor approaching me.”

“Eujin was fine.”

“Because he is the person who saved me.”

There was nothing to reply to those words.

One way or another, it was Eugene who pulled Younghee out of hell.

So, it made sense that they depended only on Eugene.

I couldn’t understand it…no matter how hard I tried.

“This incident had nothing to do with Eugene’s wishes.”

“I know.”

Eugene is targeting Younghee and has no intention of hurting her.

He never once pressed Yeonghee with force.

Even Cheolsu was vaguely aware that there was another cause for the situation.

“……But that doesn’t mean I don’t know the culprit.”

Cheolsu, who was deep in thought, turned his head without realizing it.

Secretary Park took out documents from his bag.

When I accepted it, I found that it contained several characters from the Black Sky and information about them.

“This?”

“This is a list of data on those who committed this incident.”

Cheolsu slowly looked at the documents with a serious face.

Was Heukcheon involved in this incident as well?

“Why are you giving me this information? Aren’t these people on your side too?”

“Because even in the Black Heavens, there are divided factions.”

According to Secretary Park’s explanation, it seems that Eugene was not fully recognized as Heukcheon’s successor.

So there are executives trying to bring him down or deal with him.

Those who committed this incident are all human beings there.

“I don’t understand. Why doesn’t it turn into targeting Younghee?”

“Well, let’s just say it’s because the guy in charge of that job is a pervert.”

I wonder if even Eugene could have anticipated Jekyll’s perversion.

Even if you try to calculate with someone who doesn’t have common sense, you will only end up losing money.

“Anyway, the people there are the ones who made Younghee like that.”

“…….So why are you telling me this?”

“I have to take revenge.”

Secretary Park answered as if asking something like that.

Cheolsu suddenly remembered that the man in front of him and Kim Yu-jin were black people.

Perhaps that is a natural way of thinking for Heukcheon.

If you are harmed, you will be repaid double.

If you are hit, take revenge by killing the opponent.

That would be the way Heukcheon deals with its enemies.

Cheolsu burst out laughing.

“In the end, you are dealing with your opponents without even touching them.”

In the end, the person who benefited the most from this incident was Eugene.

Eugene didn’t do anything.

However, he got a justification to kill his political opponent in the middle.

They even use other people’s power to deal with them without even using their hands.

And even Younghee… … .

Secretary Park nodded leisurely at Cheolsu’s words.

“Have you never thought of this? Eugene made his move after calculating everything to happen.”

“……What?”

“Do you really think it was all a coincidence? The fact that you, including Eugene, took the survival test together, the fight between you and Younghee, and even the runaway this time?”

Well, I know it wasn’t just an accident.

Doesn’t that mean that the people who made it up are all the people in the document you are holding now?

But Kim Yu-jin predicted it all?

So I deliberately stayed away from this incident,

He only showed up at the most critical moment and saved Younghee?

“…….That’s impossible.”

“But it actually happened that way.”

Cheolsu quietly fell into thought.

Again, the person who benefited the most from this situation was Eugene.

At the same time, there is no way that Eugene didn’t know what Jekyll was trying to do.

It was probably neglected on purpose.

Then what is the reason?

“No, no matter what, it can’t be… … .”

“Eujin also expected that you would want to kill Jekyll.”

Secretary Park said with a smile.

As if trying to brag about something.

No, the actual feeling will not be any different.

“Of course, since you’re Eugene, you probably didn’t expect him to go on a rampage. That’s why I went out of my way to save Younghee.”

The same goes for Younghee’s memory loss and runaway driving.

It was probably beyond Eugene’s calculations.

But even that benefited Eugene in the end.

Not only did it show Eugene’s power to change standards,

Because he made Younghee rely only on himself.

‘This was all within Eugene’s expectations?’

The fact that executives are hostile to themselves,

The executives are targeting Yeong-hee, a person around them.

Even the confidence to take revenge on those guys for that reason?

Suddenly, goosebumps appeared on my back.

How much did you anticipate and plan?

So many calculations were going on behind the scenes without me knowing.

I began to realize once again who I was up against.

“……Why are you telling me that? It would have been easier to move if I kept hiding it.”

“This is the minimum sincerity. Looking at this situation, I also recognized you in my own way.”

Cheolsu is a great man.

An ordeal that wouldn’t be surprising to an average person if he or she were to fail several times.

Because it never collapsed despite them.

Just look now.

Don’t your eyes shine again when you know a clear goal?

Honestly, he is a coveted talent.

Except for the fact that he is hostile towards Eugene.

“You speak as if you are being generous. In the end, you are the ones who benefit.”

“Shouldn’t we do that? Because you wouldn’t show your teeth to the person who protected your woman.”

Cheolsu silently tightened his fist.

It wasn’t wrong.

Anyway, Eugene saved Younghee’s life.

I can’t help but be thankful for that.

“More than anything, to us, Jekyll is nothing more than a bit of an outcast. If you try to kill it, well…it’s not difficult to kill it.”

It might be a bit annoying, though.

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

To them, Jekyll only has that much weight.

“But unlike us, you would want to kill Jekyll with your own hands, right? This is to give you a chance.”

Secretary Park spoke in a clearly audible voice.

It was a snake’s tongue.

“Well, but if you send it like this, it will be stolen. I’ll give you this.”

Secretary Park held out a box.

There was a black sword in it.

“This?”

“This is a specially custom-made sword. It’s better than the sword you’re using.”

After listening to it, it definitely sounds good.

As Cheolsu is also a swordsman, he is skilled in swords.

At this level, it’s not lacking even if it’s just below the top level.

I thought the sword the class leader gave me was pretty good.

This is more than that.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

“For us, the longer you live as possible, the more profitable it is. It’s up to you to decide what to do with it.”

It seems like that’s the end of what I wanted to say.

Secretary Park stood up without any hesitation.

Cheolsu just stared at the sword he had received.

‘Revenge… … .’

Anyway, Younghee needs some time to recover.

So, is it right to do what you can now?

Cheolsu’s eyes began to shine like those of a revenge demon.
