Episode.23 Sudden Confession

‘eww…’

My lost spirit has returned.

My heavy eyelids became lighter little by little, and light slowly seeped into my eyes.

“Ah, you. Are you awake?”

My eyes opened completely.

My body couldn’t move.

I wasn’t fully awake from the anesthesia yet.

I couldn’t even lift a finger.

‘It looks like you’ve been sleeping for quite some time… How long have you been down?’

“You woke up later than expected. I’m sorry… It was a bit irritating, right?”

When I woke up, I saw that I was receiving her lap pillow.

The face is barely visible and only the bottom of the chest is visible.

“Mi, crazy bitch…”

Still, the mouth moved just fine.

It was a nice enough sight, but I still thought I should ask something.

Feeling returned to my fingers.

I immediately got off of her soft lap pillow.

It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do.

Men are naturally interested in soft bodies even in times of danger.

“.. What are you?”

After getting away from Harin, I took a breath and asked.

“.. Yes, actually, that is -”

“No, it would be better if I said it myself. You’re dealing with something quite illegal, aren’t you?”

“Ugh.. that’s not it..”

“Answer only yes or no. Isn’t it illegal?”

“Ma, that’s right…”

Harin became depressed.

“… Are you the queen of the underworld?”

“Because she’s not the queen!”

“Really? That’s it then.”

‘Is there room for rehabilitation?’

“How long have I been down?”

“My sense is that you were down for about 14 minutes?”

’14 minutes?’

My body felt so light and refreshed that I thought I had fallen asleep for a very long time.

It wasn’t bad to be able to recover this much in a short period of sleep.

The drawback is that it is an illegal act.

“How did you get up so quickly and… give me a knee pillow?”

“It wasn’t my first time, so I woke up in 5 minutes. And I found you by feeling around your body… not by feeling around.”

“Isn’t this the first time?”

“Yes. I tested the drug on my body to test it out. What I improved was to prevent breathing and heartbeat from stopping. But there were also side effects.”

“What are the side effects?”

“The side effects last for a very long time when you first take it. You must be under anesthesia for at least 9 hours.”

It was strange.

I’ve definitely never taken drugs in my life.

But how do you come to your senses so quickly?

“This is definitely my first time using propofol. How did I wake up in 14 minutes?”

I asked Harin something strange.

“Because I took care of you with my healing power…”

“But anesthesia is beneficial to us, right? For example, it helps people forget about pain during surgery.”

“No. Normally, anesthesia is classified as a debuff, but you know that, right? Half of the medicine is poison. Conversely, it means that poison can be used as medicine. That’s why anesthesia is used during surgery.”

But she accepted my question lightly, as if she had expected it all.

So does that mean that not a day has passed yet?

The association has been notified that I came out as a pinch hitter today, so they won’t be able to say anything even if I have free time from now on.

I have already completed all my duties.

Unlike other companies, the association is a place where you can leave work early if you finish all your work.

It is every office worker’s dream job.

After that, I asked her several additional questions.

Among them, there are only three most important questions.

First question.

Why did you do this to me?

The answer to this is this:

“I was afraid that you would look at me strangely because I was shocked when I said that I was the queen of the backworld… The backworld feels like a violent slum that handles illegal things, right? So I thought I should turn that memory into a happy one… But what’s wrong with your saying you’d come home? And I took it. Siwoo was the one who seduced me first by being coquettish, right?”

“When was I such a crazy bitch….”

“If you keep swearing, no matter how much I get hurt… it’s difficult to heal the inner wounds even with my own abilities…”

And second question.

The soul in my sword has disappeared.

My first thought was whether I could tell this to Harin, but it didn’t seem right to hide this sword from the person who gave it to me as a gift.

Honestly, she may have known about this and gave me this sword as a gift.

But her reaction was unexpected.

“Do I need to know that? What is the whereabouts of the fox-like bitch who keeps snuggling next to you? I’m just glad it’s gone.”

“Uh…uh, okay.”

Finally, the third question.

This is the most important question among the three important questions.

Why is it that there is only one needle, but two people are under the influence of drugs?

“So, how did you put medicine in my body and how did it affect you too?… Is this what you mean?”

“Yes.”

Harin suddenly got up from the bed.

And then he closed the room door.

The view from the bed to the elevator became stuffy as the wide open door closed.

– click.

Then suddenly she locked the door.

“If I tell you this, you might look at me strangely.”

Harin’s face darkened.

But I’m already looking at Harin strangely.

How could she look any more strange here?

I felt an instinctive warning that digging further into Harin’s secret would be dangerous.

“If you have trouble talking now, you can tell me later.”

“Ah… really?.. Thank you for your consideration.”

The light in her face returned.

‘I lived.’

When an S class gets angry, I feel uneasy for some reason.

‘Isn’t the fact that this has zero combat ability all pure nonsense?’

In fact, there is no need to risk your life to find out her abilities by taking the risk now.

In the end, one day, when my king’s insight level increases, I will be able to find out Harin’s abilities as well.

For now, all you have to do is remember your goal: to buy a house and return home safely.

“You…”

Harin started approaching me, calling me ‘you’.

But didn’t I tell you my name?

no. I told this to you at dawn when I first met Harin.

I remember that night clearly.

This is because the mysterious pure white color that only she can exude has become an impressive part of my memory.

She stood right in front of my nose.

And then he suddenly hugged me.

“Neun, what are you doing all of a sudden?”

“You… won’t abandon me, right?”

Her close contact made it impossible for me to judge correctly.

“Even if it’s me.. we’ll always be together, right?”

I can’t understand her pathological obsession with me.

Which part of me is so good?

It’s even been less than a week since we met.

‘Even Geumsapa has its degrees.’

“If it were between us… you would fully forgive me, right?”

“What is our relationship? What was your relationship?”

When Harin heard those words, she hugged me so tightly, as if I was going to break, as if she was binding me with rope.

“… We are best friends.”

Harin’s memory was too good to pretend not to know.

Actually, it’s strange if you don’t remember what happened yesterday.

I know she’s intentionally trying to force me to tie.

This is because I did something that could be controversial if others found out about it.

But without realizing it, my heart weakens when I see Harin like this.

Why, isn’t there a saying that women are always the best?

Even a man who knows this has no choice but to lose when a situation like this comes up.

‘Ha… That’s difficult…’

At times like this, I started to miss Chaewon a little.

Even though she was a little noisy, she was the queen of domestic help who maintained her original purpose without wavering, even if only as a joke.

‘.. No matter what, it’s not polite to think about another woman while being embraced by a beautiful woman with no eyes.’

“Hmm.”

I cleared my throat and distracted her.

“Can I go back home first? I feel a little tired now-”

“Do you hate me?”

Harin said while crying.

However, there were no tears.

That’s because there won’t be any tears.

“If you don’t hate me… please answer me.”

“What, what?”

It’s a really scary moment.

What does she want from me?

interest?

Sympathy?

But those two weren’t what she wanted.

“I am a woman who knows how to repay the love I give…”

What she wants.

Yes.

“Give me.. your love.”

What she wanted was love.

Love is another word.

“I need your affection… I’m sorry for saying this after doing such a harsh thing…”

To be honest, I suffered no harm from the proporol incident.

It is an undeniable fact that there are many areas where we have received help from her so far.

“But… I can’t be satisfied with a best friend-like relationship with you…”

She wanted me.

“Because, such a poor relationship… is not enough.”

I quickly ran circuits in my head about how to respond to her sudden confession.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out how to respond to her confession.

What should I do?

I am in her confession.

her confession.

Should I accept it? Should I refuse?

There are many things to worry about. If you refuse now…

The extremities may not be in good condition.

This agony will continue for a long time.
