Choi Hana was held in Lee Jun-woo’s arms.

Normally, this would be impossible except when acting as Naharin.

‘I’m embarrassed… because I feel like my feelings will all be revealed…’

But now, her heart was pounding and her body moved first.

The embrace was wide and warm.

I hugged him without thinking.

So much so that I never want to leave its embrace again.

And so many emotions were mixed up in her head.

I had to calm down now.

I was much more worried about Lee Jun-woo than myself.

“Are you… okay now?”

I quickly asked about his condition.

At those words, Lee Jun-woo tilted his head as if puzzled.

“Me? I’m fine. Rather, are you okay?”

Lee Jun-woo patted her with a warm voice.

He wiped the area around Choi Hana’s eyes with his fingertips.

Now that I think about it, I wasn’t even conscious of it.

I belatedly noticed that her vision had become blurry.

It seems that An Yu-min’s tears continued to flow from behind the scenes.

‘Boo… I’m embarrassed. What if my eyes are swollen and look ugly…’

Still, I still think that way.

I calmed down a little.

To that extent, Lee Jun-woo’s embrace was warm and kind, so it was only natural.

And naturally, a little while ago.

I couldn’t help but recall what happened in An Yu-min’s memory.

There was a moment when An Yu-min and Choi Hana were alone in the mirror hotel.

Scenes that Choi Hana did not want to see continued to unfold.

Lee Jun-woo is a kind person who constantly takes care of An Yu-min.

“I saw this doll while walking down the street today, so I bought it? Isn’t it cute?”

“Isn’t this your favorite dessert? There weren’t as many people in line today as I thought, so I bought it for you.”

Really, it seems like many things happened to the two that Choi Hana could not have imagined.

Thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising.

Three years of high school.

Lee Jun-woo single-mindedly followed An Yu-min.

‘It was definitely taught to me by my classmates in the Hunter class.’

There were many female cadets from Theia High School.

Since then, it seems like there have been a lot of rumors that Geumtaeyang Lee Jun-woo has a crush on Ahn Yu-min.

From what I heard, Lee Jun-woo already confessed to Ahn Yu-min, but was dumped.

‘And yet…’

Lee Jun-woo did not give up on that feeling.

And if Ahn Yu-min didn’t like Lee Jun-woo, he would have to categorically reject him.

Rather, the two hung out together.

Hanado Choi, who was in the same class as An Yumin during high school.

I often saw Lee Jun-woo waiting for An Yu-min to come out of the classroom.

At that time, I inadvertently observed An Yu-min’s expression.

‘Ahn Yu-min also… had feelings for Lee Jun-woo.’

Eyes that see through the truth.

It was an unmistakable fact that it had that power.

So, Choi Hana was in high school.

Although I was somewhat interested in Lee Jun-woo. I didn’t approach you on purpose.

I noticed that single-mindedness.

And the truth was more than Choi Hana thought.

‘Is it possible to truly love someone like that?’

An Yu-min seems to be bragging about that fact.

The scene of the moment when Lee Jun-woo touched An Yu-min was created in this space without stopping.

To be honest, I was jealous.

She lost her entire family and became the boss of an underworld.

Choi Hana is a person whose emotions are rarely shaken.

However, An Yu-min’s plan shook Choi Hana more than any other attack.

During those three years.

I hoped that the person who received Lee Jun-woo’s attention and affection was himself, not An Yu-min.

‘As expected… I’m so upset.’

It’s only been about 3 months since I became close to Lee Jun-woo.

So, I can’t immediately compare it to those three years.

She was so angry that her eyes turned red without her knowledge.

And Choi Hana felt more confident in the emotions she felt for the first time in her life.

‘I really… I like Junwoo.’

Seeing that jealous expression, An Yu-min was also seen making a wry smile.

However, there was one thing An Yu-min was mistaken about.

There are certainly times when I feel jealous and resentful.

For Choi Hana, those feelings were not the top priority.

‘Rather than that…’

Rather, the person Choi Hana was concerned about was Lee Jun-woo.

A man who gave such devoted love.

However, the ending was an absurd result: the expulsion of Aegis.

‘For me… I can’t even think about that feeling of being betrayed.’

Being abandoned by someone you like.

What if Choi Hana did something like that to Lee Jun-woo?

I felt like I couldn’t continue my studies normally.

‘Even Junwoo wasn’t an ordinary cadet… he was unknown.’

There will definitely be that pride.

He lied about his identity as a major villain and offered his love to a mere cadet. Betrayed.

Because of the scene An Yu-min is showing right now.

I felt how true that feeling was.

So, Choi Hana’s feelings were so sad that she cried even more.

‘But Junwoo…’

Nevertheless, Lee Jun-woo did not break down.

Rather, instead of collapsing, he has grown into a giant cadet who can now threaten Yoon Geon-woo.

‘And in the underworld… I’m already on friendly terms with that Oriphiel.’

A person who can get back up again even after all his emotions have been betrayed.

That kind of man was the man Choi Hana liked.

But on the other hand, if the wounds of that betrayal remain.

I wanted to heal that wound myself.

By Lee Jun-woo’s side.

I never wanted to betray him or his feelings.

And he whispered a word to An Yu-min, who was conceited in an illusion.

“You still don’t really know anything about Junwoo. Yumin Ahn.”

Those words were sincere.

If you really know the person named Lee Jun-woo well.

Why bother yourself in such a petty way?

There was no way I didn’t know that it was the worst move.

‘okay. Yumin Ahn. I am different from you.’

And in those unwavering eyes of Choi Hana.

Unlike the beginning, the space behind An Yu-min began to become increasingly distorted.

In this way, Choi Hana escaped Ahn Yu-min’s trap.

***

Choi Hana, who was in my arms, seemed to have calmed down a little.

In that short period of time, I felt like my head was going to explode.

‘I wasn’t this nervous even in the semifinals.’

Choi Hana and Ahn Yumin don’t seem to notice.

I watched everything that happened between the two at the Mirror Hotel.

And the scene An Yu-min created was not a lie.

If there were false scenes mixed in.

Choi Hana would have seen through everything with her power.

I wasn’t An Yu-min’s boyfriend, but I was really nice to her.

‘Me back then… why was I such a brat?’

Of course, none of that feeling remains now.

It was not because of the absolute composure of the hidden title.

Rather, after An Yu-min started becoming a villain, that calm was broken.

It means that he can now feel emotions towards An Yu-min.

But surprisingly, there were no lingering regrets left in me.

‘That means…’

It means that I have someone more precious to me.

And as I watched that scene, I remembered Choi Hana, who couldn’t stop crying.

I felt so sorry, but at the same time, I was afraid.

That I cried this much.

It was clearly proof that Choi Ha-na was also worried about An Yu-min and my past.

‘But one thing…’

But even in that situation, Hana Choi worried about me first.

You asked me if I was okay now.

I patted Choi Hana’s long hair and gave a late reply to her words.

“I’m okay now.”

I wanted to reassure her with something more.

Those words were my truth.

Choi Hana looked into my eyes and nodded as if she recognized my sincerity.

“Then… I’m glad.”

For a moment, the look of sincere relief felt endearing.

Without realizing it, I hugged Choi Hana once more.

I whispered to her.

“Because now there is someone more precious by my side.”

“That…what does that mean…”

Choi Hana’s cheeks turned so bright red that she looked hot.

When I actually said that, I felt embarrassed.

Even more than that, my heart started pounding too much.

‘What should I do if this happens to me too?’

The two people who had been hugging each other casually until then hesitated and took a few steps back.

But when the hug ended, I felt strangely sad again.

‘But it’s already too late at night…’

Nevertheless, my honest feeling was that I wanted to stay with Choi Hana like this more.

But now there is less than an hour left until dawn.

This is the time when the dungeon’s magical energy is at its thickest.

Therefore, it is time for Ahn Yu-min, who has become a villain, to become more sensitive.

‘Ahn Yu-min too. ‘It seems like I’ve awakened to the power of chaos.’

But just then.

I actually made up my mind.

I have no intention of being tied down to An Yu-min forever.

Just now.

Just like I completely hid my presence in that mirror hotel.

My new awakening will make it so that no one can control me.

‘A space of perfect domination created with my mirror.’

If you can’t even accomplish that much.

My decision to stand at the top of the underworld would end up being a pathetic joke.

And now, there was something I really wanted to say to Hana.

“It’s late and you can’t sleep because of me… I’m sorry for taking up your time…”

Sure enough, one of them was feeling sorry for me.

I shook my head.

“No. Rather… you may be tired too, but can you give me a little more time?”

“Huh? If it’s time…”

“Because there is something I really want to say to you right now.”

At the same time as he said that, he held Choi Hana’s hand tightly.

Although I was a little embarrassed.

Soon, she naturally put her hand in my hand.

“…… Yeah… I want to be with you more too.”
