Chapter Index

    My eyes were drawn to it from the first time I saw it.

    So I was always curious.

    ‘why?’

    What on earth is attracting my attention to that kid?

    The answer was not difficult to find.

    ‘He looks just like his dad.’

    Siwoo Son.

    The pride of Korea and my pride.

    A caring father who always treated me the same way, no matter how many times I hurt him.

    He and Kim Do-jin looked alike.

    A lot of that too.

    At first, it was definitely because of that.

    The familiarity I felt from a stranger was an opportunity that opened the door to a relationship without me knowing.

    ‘It was fun.’

    When I think about the past, I just laugh.

    Kim Do-jin and other team members treated her only as Son Seo-yeon, not as the daughter of Han Joo-hee and Son Si-woo.

    It helped her breathe.

    It allowed me to bring out my buried emotions again.

    So that I can finally walk confidently out into the world.

    We walked together.

    ‘good friends.’

    If it’s short, it’s short, if it’s long, it’s long.

    Before she knew it, her teammates, no, guild members, had become indispensable and valuable to her.

    At the same time, a question mark appeared in her mind.

    The person pointed at at the end of the question is none other than Kim Do-jin.

    All guild members are precious.

    But Kim Do-jin was a little, a little more special.

    ‘Why?’

    I was always curious about that.

    Where on earth does this difference come from?

    Just because he is the leader of the team and guild?

    ‘That’s not right.’

    It didn’t seem to be such a simple difference.

    I can only guess.

    Very complex emotions that she had never felt before were making the difference.

    The longer we spend together, the deeper the question becomes.

    But it wasn’t urgent.

    ‘It’s okay as is.’

    with them.

    Every day I spend with Dojin Kim is meaningful, enjoyable, and happy.

    I don’t really care about the curiosity tickling my heart.

    However, that question was resolved when I encountered an unexpected situation.

    A spear flew towards Kim Do-jin.

    It was so scary that just looking at it made you think of death, and it contained an incredibly terrifying power.

    A conclusion came to my mind.

    ‘Dojin… , die?’

    At that moment she was already acting.

    When I came to my senses, I had already taken the shield from Elena and was running.

    She arrived in time and immediately adjusted her grip on the shield and increased her strength.

    A characteristic that suddenly came to me one day, ‘a person with qualities’.

    From there, I exerted the power that sprouted from there.

    He realized that his hidden power and Kim Do-jin’s power combined to block a powerful attack.

    ‘I like this kid.’

    The true identity of the overwhelming emotion that filled my heart every time I saw him was affection.

    Is it because I found out about it?

    “… Kim Do-jin.”

    The three letters of his name that Han Joo-hee inadvertently uttered awakened her spirit.

    Even while I was in a daze, I could clearly sense what she was thinking.

    Because it has always been like that.

    My mother, who is surprisingly cool-headed, was extremely polarizing when it came to stories related to herself.

    ‘no.’

    That was why.

    The reason she spoke out even though her sanity was not fully restored.

    “summer solstice… mind.”

    “Seo-yeon… ? Don’t do it, what on earth… .”

    When I asked her a bit confused as to whether she was talking in her sleep or talking to me, she continued.

    “To Dojin… , don’t harm me… .”

    “Seoyeon, you… ?”

    I don’t know.

    I wonder what kind of emotional resonance the words he says now will have on my mother.

    But I wanted to talk.

    “Dojin… , You are a precious person to me… .”

    The love I realized for the first time in my life.

    I wanted to talk to my mom and no one else at least once.

    Your breasts will swell even bigger and you will inadvertently tell him that you like him.

    Don’t be too quick to tell people you want to keep it a secret for now.

    “… … .”

    It was such a simple, refreshing idea.

    And I just didn’t know.

    Han Joo-hee’s feelings for Kim Do-jin are much more complicated than she thought.

    To the point where he becomes more concerned about restoring his lost sense of reason than worrying about his sick daughter.

    Without realizing it, she let out a cold voice.

    “… It looks like it still hurts a lot. “When I see you talking nonsense like that.”

    And I was surprised myself.

    Because I spoke to my sick daughter in such a cold and cold voice.

    She was shocked and raised her magic power without realizing it.

    “Sleep a little more.”

    Magical power covers the eyelids of Son Seo-yeon, who has not even opened her eyes properly.

    Sleep magic to make you fall into a deep sleep.

    “… … .”

    Soon, Han Ju-hee, who was looking down at Son Seo-yeon, who was fast asleep, got up with difficulty and left the treatment room.

    And after some time.

    Son Seo-yeon opened her eyes again.

    I could clearly feel the flow of her magical energy.

    I figured it was a sleep spell and held on.

    It wouldn’t have been so bad if I just fell into a deep sleep.

    ‘I miss you.’

    I want to see his face.

    I want to check with my own eyes to see if there are any serious injuries.

    And one more thing.

    Now that I am aware of this feeling that fills me up every time I see him.

    How do you feel when you see him?

    “… … .”

    Slurp

    I gently lower the blanket that covers my neck and step toward the ground.

    “ah… … .”

    A slight feeling of dizziness that occurs as soon as you exert strength to stand up.

    dump

    I sit down on the cot again, but when I feel that I am gradually feeling better, I get up again.

    I’m still a little dizzy, but it’s tolerable.

    As she quietly walks out of the treatment room barracks, a rather chilly wind passes by her spine.

    I feel much lighter.

    After looking around for a moment, she takes a step to the right.

    She thought all the way.

    What will be the first emotion he shows when he encounters himself?

    ‘Let’s get angry first…’ ?’

    Maybe so.

    The look on his face when I held my shield and blocked his path is still vivid.

    What a fiery voice.

    If I hadn’t lost my mind after blocking the window, I wouldn’t have started nagging at her.

    “Hi… .”

    I must be crazy.

    Seeing you become so happy even though I remember nagging you that I don’t want to hear.

    My excited heart makes me walk faster.

    Eventually, he arrived at his barracks.

    Beyond the barracks, where not a single light leaked, she realized something she had overlooked.

    “What time is it… ?”

    The fact that the world hidden in the bright day-like mind is deep at night.

    Judging from the fact that all the surrounding barracks were dark, it seemed like it was time for everyone to go to sleep, although I wasn’t sure exactly.

    Still, she wandered around the entrance to Kim Do-jin’s barracks.

    It was because the footsteps did not fall easily.

    But that doesn’t mean you can’t wake up a sleeping person.

    ‘I’ll just see you during the day.’

    With that in mind, it was time to turn around.

    Suddenly, Kim Do-jin fell from the sky.

    And that too with a very refreshing smile.

    “You guys, you’re going to be so upset tomorrow morning… .”

    I finally saw Kim Do-jin talking to himself with a smiling face about what was so good.

    The sight of Son Seo-yeon turning around in front of my barracks.

    * * *

    Am embarrassed.

    “Seoyeon… , senior?”

    Why is he wandering in front of my barracks in the middle of the night?

    And that too without even wearing a coat in this cold weather.

    Two questioning eyes look him up and down.

    The flow of magical power inside and outside the body is extremely stable.

    It looks like the saint treated him very well.

    “Are you feeling okay?”

    “uh? huh… ! “I’m fine.”

    Seoyeon answered in a confused tone, glanced at my face from the corner of her eye and asked.

    “fury… “You’re not paying it?”

    “… “Am I going to get angry?”

    I guess he thought I was going to nag him.

    Well, it’s not a wrong prediction.

    In fact, as soon as I saw it, I started asking why I did that, what would have happened if I had been seriously injured, and even where was a sick person walking around in such thin clothes?

    I tried to pour it all out in one go, but held back.

    No, that wasn’t exactly the case.

    “I didn’t change my mind that my senior’s actions at that time were dangerous actions that should never be done again… “Anyway, thanks to that, I’m alive and unscathed.”

    It was actually very dangerous.

    She intervened while I was wondering which would be less uncomfortable if one of my arms or legs disappeared.

    So rather than getting angry, it would be better to express gratitude.

    I bow my head slightly to her.

    “Thank you, senior. “Thanks to you, I survived.”

    Then Seoyeon grabbed my arm and forced my bent upper body up.

    “There’s nothing to be thankful for. “You’re a colleague, right?”

    “… But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m grateful.”

    Even if you are a friend, risking your life to save them is not easy.

    “ah… , is it?”

    The sight of him obediently agreeing makes a strange laugh.

    Then, a question that remains unresolved arises.

    “But why did you come here? “I must have just woken up, but I’m not sleeping anymore.”

    “Oh, that’s it.”

    The guy seemed embarrassed for a moment, as if he had trouble speaking, but then answered.

    “Just to see if you’re okay! Me too, but I was worried that you got hurt too… !”

    “aha.”

    “I see,” he roughly agrees, and suddenly his cheeks swell slightly.

    “… “I think it was right for you to come originally.”

    He seems upset because I didn’t visit him.

    My desire to visit was like a chimney.

    But you know?

    “I did it because I thought I wouldn’t hear good things if I went now. “Senior understands.”

    “… “That’s right.”

    “… … .”

    At this point, I’m curious.

    Is that bastard clueless, or is my words credible?

    I hope it’s not the former, though.

    “ah… , but where did you go this night… ?”

    The guy asks.

    Where have you been?

    “what… “I’m going to take a moment to get some air and declare war.”

    “Declaration of war… ?”

    okay.

    Actually, that was the main purpose.

    Just because you don’t have enough strength right now doesn’t mean you can’t do anything and remain helpless.

    So, I gave it a shot in my own way.

    So that everyone knows, not just you and me.

    He smiles and replies to Seoyeon, who asks in a puzzled tone.

    “You will find out soon enough.”

    This story will make a lot of noise for a few days.

    I’m really looking forward to it.

    “Hehehehe.”

    When he lets out a sinister laugh, Seoyeon laughs awkwardly and gives a scathing remark.

    “Now you… , He looks like a villain from a cartoon.”

    It might not be entirely wrong.
