There was a heated battle of wits for a while, but it didn’t last long.

If I were to delay longer than this when I was already in front of the hospital, which was my destination, I would not only be frowned upon by the people who had gotten off first and were waiting, but in a physical sense, my life could also be in danger.

So, after ending the pointless snowball fight, I quickly found a tissue and handed it to Dangsoso. Dangsoso glared at me one last time. He took the tissue I gave him and wiped away the stuff that was running down his face.

To be honest, I thought he would spit out what he had in his mouth into a tissue.

Although it may be a problem to dispose of it, it is better than keeping it in your mouth forever.

So I thought I would just spit it out and watch…

“Sweet···Eup···.”

Eventually, what began to flow into my ears was not the sound of someone spitting something out, but the sound of something being swallowed with difficulty.

When I tried to swallow it, the semen got stuck in my throat, so maybe it wasn’t as easy as I thought.

The sound of someone swallowing something, gurgling, rang out over and over again.

“···Don’t stare at me like that, but if you have something like water, give me some.”

I managed to swallow all that I took with my mouth, but there was nothing I could do about the unpleasant feeling it left behind.

Dang Soso, who glanced at me once again, covered his mouth with a tissue he had just pulled out of the box and asked me for water.

After being flustered by the sudden request for a moment, I took out a bottle of water from the small refrigerator installed under the seat and handed it to Dang So-so.

Dangsoso rinsed his mouth several times while making a bubbling sound using the product given to him. Before getting out of the car, he checked his condition by looking at the window of the seat on which he was sitting for the last time. Soon he gave me a signal with his eyes.

Does this mean you should get off first?

It seemed like that was the case, so I quickly got out of the car first.

And since he got off first, he walked over to the seat where Dangsoso was riding and even opened the door.

From my perspective, I had committed a sin(?), so I did it with the intention of making up for it at least in this way… I guess he never thought that he would receive that kind of consideration from me.

As soon as I made eye contact with Dangsoso, who was preparing to get out of the car, I could see her eyes widen slightly.

“What are you doing? Not getting off?”

“Ah, um…”

Since I had decided to provide service, I even held out my hand as if I was going to give it to them, so it seemed that they liked my service to some extent, so Dangsoso naturally took my hand and got out of the car.

Her ears were painted red as if someone had spilled paint on them.

We took the shy Dan Soso and walked towards the people who were waiting for us to get out of the car…

“···It’s late.”

Sure enough, I heard a voice from Cheongpung.

“Sorry.”

“Why did you get off so late?”

“Actually, Soso fell asleep slightly, perhaps because she was relaxed…”

“···Hmm.”

When I told him that it wasn’t because of me and that I had to wake him up because Dang So-so had fallen asleep, I thought it was a bit awkward to say something like a fool to my younger brother.

Cheongpung fell silent for a moment along with the chimeumseong.

“···Let’s go in first.”

But in the end, I gave up on continuing the conversation and scurried into the hospital.

It was almost at the same time that Helena, who had been looking at me and Dangsoso alternately from behind Cheongpung with an expression of ‘Hmm…?’, came towards us.

“Did you two do something strange in the car?”

“···!”

“Could you please refrain from making unnecessary speculations? It’s a bit weird to hear.”

“It’s just speculation… For something like that, it’s a shame…”

After a moment of secretly talking, Helena smiled and tapped her nose with her finger.

As I was tilting my head, wondering what that meant, Helena turned and followed Cheongpung as if she would not say anything more.

What was the final blow to Dang Soso, who was speechless as if embarrassed by Helena’s behavior?

“···He said he dozed off, but it looks like he dozed off pretty hard. When you see your clothes so disheveled.”

“···!”

It was none other than my friend Hayoung.

Words spoken with a bitter smile.

At Hayoung’s remark, Dang Soso’s face turned bright red with embarrassment as he finally lost control of himself.

“Anyway, I go in first?”

Hayoung shook her head at the sight of her friend, stretched out her arms, and went straight into the hospital.

“Shall we go in now?”

“···Now, just wait a moment, it’ll just take a moment.”

The doctor was shocked when he saw the scratches on my body, so I went to the hospital to get a medical check-up, but nothing remarkable happened during the process.

The only injuries on his body were scratches along his forearms.

“Still, just in case, I will prescribe a herbal bath that is effective in restoring energy.”

“Yes? No, there is no need to…”

“Actually… my younger brother is among the armed forces dispatched to Hanoi this time. I don’t have anything I can give you in particular, but I want to repay you in this way.”

Rather, I think it’s the result of being aware of Mr. So-and-so who is sitting next to me with his eyes open and blue…

Is this what the commonly called polarized parents look like?

In the name of being my protector, he sat down next to me and said, ‘Is there anything else? It was very burdensome to see Dang Soso’s eyes wide open as if to say, ‘Is this really okay?’

It must have felt that way to my eyes, but how would it have felt from the perspective of a doctor working at Danga Medical Center?

He may not know it, but he must have been under pressure that his position could be in danger if he didn’t do something.

Thanks to this, I was treated to a cup of tonic medicine that was not even in my list of items, but deep down, I wanted to do it.

If it were a strange drug, I would have reacted by saying, ‘No matter what, this is a bit…’, but isn’t it a nourishing tonic?

It may be a bit troublesome to take it with you, but there is no need to refuse.

“There is no need to be hospitalized like last time?”

“Uh, well…there’s no need to do that…”

“But wouldn’t it be better to stay in the hospital like last time and observe the progress for a few days? Because something like the aftereffects of a battle could suddenly occur.”

“Ah, uh… wow, I definitely can’t rule out that possibility. From what I heard from a colleague who came from Europe while working, the warlocks are a very insidious group. They may have secretly placed a curse or something that explodes at different times…”

Umm… I really wanted to listen to it…

Can’t it just stay like this?

“It is done. I’m fine, but why am I hospitalized?”

“Yes? Ha, but…”

Why is the hospital putting pressure on the doctor to admit me to the hospital?

The reason was obvious.

Because once I put it in the hospital, my actions can be restricted.

To be precise…you don’t have to see me hanging out with Helena or her friend Hayoung.

I’m sure they’re coming out here aiming for that.

“···Instead of doing that, how about staying here for a few days like the doctor said? Anyway, the facilities themselves, like the hotel and the hospital rooms here, are similar.”

“That’s true, but… I don’t like the smell that comes from hospitals.”

“Umm···.”

“Anyway, I said there’s nothing wrong with my body, so I’ll just go back now, right?”

I had always maintained a semi-respectful and informal tone of voice, conscious of the presence of Cheongpung, but now that I had completely settled down to speaking informally, perhaps I had decided that going any further than this was impossible.

Tang Soso nodded with a slightly regretful expression.

And as soon as I left the treatment room and rejoined the rest of the group, the words I heard were none other than…

“Then, could you send the materials you promised to my accommodation?”

Helena was asking Cheongpung for books related to witchcraft and magic.

“I think I should take a break today.”

“Okay. Let’s do that. But when it comes to accommodation, where are you talking about…?”

“You can send it to Hwaju Hotel.”

hmm?

Wait a minute… what if it’s a Hwaju hotel…

“···This is where Sosone ties up.”

“Oh my, is that so? I didn’t know that… but if that’s true, you can send it to me.”

“I understand. I will send it to you today via Sosone.”

Was that really the reason why the district attorney’s office went to great lengths to keep me tied up in the hospital?

Well, if you think about it, Dang Soso used to be more wary of Helena than his friend Hayoung.

I don’t know why, but it was like that.

But is it because I suddenly ended up living in one building like this?

Tang Soso’s eyes as he looked at Helena sank deeply.
