Ch.119Waiting People (5)

I’ve already made enough snacks for Ju-an to eat. Now I just need to focus on awakening my first supernatural power.

Alright, if I keep immersing myself in something like this, my mind will clear up. Then I can think calmly again.

When I went to the same place as yesterday, there was no one else but me. That orange-haired guy probably took my advice and decided to rest today.

I thought he was just stubborn and never listened to anyone, but surprisingly, he does listen.

Well, it’s better for me since I can train comfortably here. Now that there’s no one around to disturb me, I should focus on training.

With those thoughts, I aimed at the target with my gun barrel and pulled the trigger just like yesterday, but for some reason, I don’t feel motivated today.

I guess it’s true that humans are social animals. Having someone nearby does provide psychological stability.

Then how much more reassuring would it be to have a lifelong partner by my side? I’ll find out when I make one myself.

When is he actually going to confess? We both like each other, so we could start dating right away if he just confessed.

But thinking about it, Ju-an did confess once. It’s just that things were going so badly at the time that the confession became pointless.

So should I be the one to speak first, accepting his confession? But it still feels awkward to go and confess first.

Even though I’m a woman now, I used to be a man, so it feels strange to be the one to bring it up first.

Is this even right in the first place? I lived as a man for 19 years, and now I’m developing feelings for my best friend just because I’ve been a woman for 3 weeks? Haven’t I thought about how strange that is?

But then again, Ju-an was the one who liked me first, so if this is strange, then Ju-an is equally strange.

With all these random thoughts swirling in my head, I can’t concentrate on training at all. Should I just rest today too?

Okay, let’s just rest today. I’m still on my period, so I shouldn’t push myself and should just take it easy.

So, less than an hour later, I returned to Ju-an’s room and buried myself under the blanket that was deeply infused with his scent.

But now that I’m trying to rest, I can’t think of what to do. Should I just browse the internet to kill time?

With that thought, I started looking through community forums, but they were all filled with similar posts.

[How to Deal When the Demon King Appears]

[List of Nearby Shelters]

[Essential Items and Survival Tips for Emergencies]

[Adult pics coming lol]

I clicked on the post with the provocative title first. As expected, the content had nothing to do with the title.

[The Demon King is coming in a week and you have time for adult pics? Do something useful instead of wasting time on this.]

Since I already knew something like this would appear, it wasn’t much of a blow. Isn’t this just how online communities are?

I tried to find something interesting to read, but everyone was just talking about the Demon King who would be arriving soon.

Outside the community forums, news and other media were also filled with talk about the Demon King. And there was just as much discussion about reincarnated people.

Ju-an, me, Taeyang, and Ha-eun were mentioned in that order of frequency. Well, Ju-an is the hero, so of course he’d be mentioned a lot.

Plus, he’s handsome, talented, and has a perfect personality. It would be strange if he wasn’t mentioned.

Anyway, I’ve been involved in so many incidents like kidnappings and such, so naturally, there’s a lot of talk about me. And Taeyang attracts attention because of his appearance.

Honestly, anyone would be interested in a tanned, blonde guy who looks like a thug but has the ability to interfere with people’s minds.

But Ha-eun is mentioned relatively little. Probably because her power is moderately strong and she hasn’t done anything particularly strange.

I wish I could be like Ha-eun with fewer mentions. Being called a “psychopathic reincarnated person” makes me sound like a villain.

I’ve been fighting desperately, even sacrificing my lifespan, and this is how I’m treated? It’s truly miserable.

What if I die and people just say, “The psychopath is dead!”?

Thinking about that makes me even more depressed. I should stop browsing these communities.

Then I started searching for some information I needed online.

[How to Look Good to Someone You Like]

[How to Make Someone Confess First]

[Effective Ways to Seduce a Man]

This reminds me of when I found Ju-an’s search history. It was pretty funny seeing “how to eliminate worldly desires” mixed in there.

Since Ju-an searched for that a week ago, it means he’s had feelings for me for at least a week.

But why hasn’t he made a move yet? With his ability to stop time, he could just go for it, couldn’t he?

That’s the problem with being too nice. Sometimes it’s okay to be a bit aggressive, but why is he being so considerate?

But back then, I didn’t try to seduce him. So if I try to seduce him this time, wouldn’t he fall for it quickly?

Honestly, I’m worried he might not fall for it even then. But having lived as a man for over 19 years, I should be able to seduce him easily.

I just need to do things that I think would turn someone on. With those thoughts, I browsed the internet while waiting for Ju-an to return.

***

Finally, Ju-an returned to the room. Now it’s time to execute my plan.

But his expression looks quite dark. Did something go wrong with the strategy planning today?

“You worked hard today. Did something happen?”

“It’s not really good news. Are you sure you want to hear it?”

“Just tell me.”

“In the future the saint saw, we were fighting against Leo.”

“…So what happened to Leo in that dream?”

“He died.”

I had naturally assumed Leo would join our side. But contrary to my expectations, it seems Leo will fight against us.

Then was the reason he gave us information about the Demon King’s army simply on a whim?

But it’s still okay. Fate can always change, and there’s a possibility that I can personally persuade Leo.

“Can I participate in the strategy planning tomorrow?”

“Yes, that would make things much easier from tomorrow.”

“I don’t think I’ll be much help since I’m not that smart.”

“Being smart doesn’t always mean making good choices. Sometimes thinking simply leads to better results.”

Now that I have permission, all that’s left is to confirm whether I can persuade Leo directly. We should be able to check using Rebecca’s foresight ability.

I really hope she sees a future where I successfully persuade Leo. While I was thinking about this, Ju-an turned off the lights and said:

“Good night.”

I got a bit sidetracked thinking about tomorrow’s tasks and deviated from my original plan. Now that it’s dark, I can’t use visual seduction.

But physical seduction is still an option. So I shouldn’t be too discouraged.

But my body won’t move. The reason is obvious—I’m too embarrassed.

In my imagination, it seemed so easy and casual, but when it comes to actually doing it, it’s terribly embarrassing.

At this rate, Ju-an will fall asleep, and I’ll have wasted the entire day.

Even though I think that, my body still won’t move. It’s just too awkward to do something like that…

I guess I’ll have to give up on the seduction plan. So what should I do now?

I tried to think as hard as I could, but still couldn’t find an answer. Instead, I could hear Ju-an snoring.

He usually sleeps quietly, so he must have been really tired. Should I massage his shoulders tomorrow?

Let’s try that tomorrow. I probably won’t be very effective since I lack strength, but it’s better than doing nothing.

While thinking about this, a mischievous thought crossed my mind. Ju-an is asleep right now. So he wouldn’t know if I did something, right?

As soon as I finished that thought, I reached out and hugged Ju-an. Being like this really does feel reassuring.

Ju-an is asleep now anyway. Even if he were awake, it wouldn’t matter much. I’d be terribly embarrassed, but at least it would be effective.

Still, I hope Ju-an stays asleep. If he caught me like this, I’d be so embarrassed I’d want to die.

Anyway, feeling truly happy, I fell into a deep sleep while hugging Ju-an. I wish this moment could last forever.
