At the very moment when Soo-hyeon was rolling the headgear she had suddenly picked up in her hand until it made a sound and was wondering how she should convey it, Lee started walking frantically towards somewhere and eventually stopped. Since there was one, it was none other than Jojo.

It’s the perfect appearance to make anyone think they’ve lost their way.

But she wasn’t lost. Because I remembered everything, like where to turn and where to turn to get to the kitchen.

Nevertheless, the reason I stopped in the same place as if I had lost my way was because of a thought that had suddenly filled my head.

‘I’m a fool…’

Yes, there would never be another idiot like this in the world.

When Soohyun comes to her senses, she decides to say thank you first before anything else, but when the person in question wakes up, she can’t say a word and just remains silent. If you don’t call such a person an idiot, who else would you call an idiot?

But… I really couldn’t help it at that time.

I don’t know if it was because I had just come to my senses, but when I saw Suhyun saying strange things I had never heard before, such as saying that stepping on the threshold would be bad luck, I couldn’t help but feel something inside me.

To exaggerate a bit, it felt like something like a fireball was coming up from inside my stomach and up my neck. So I couldn’t stop holding it in, so I hugged Soohyun and cried until my cheeks tingled.

After crying until my eyes turned red… I became embarrassed all over again. So much so that my face felt hot, as if I had been burned by something hot.

He lived three years longer than Su-hyeon, but he had just come to his senses after fainting for nearly a week, so he was so confused that he couldn’t comfort Su-hyeon in an adult manner, but he held her in his narrow arms and cried. This is how it is. Even if Soohyun declares that you are a kid after what happened today, you wouldn’t even have room to refute it, let alone say anything to refute it.

Actually, the real problem was that I was so busy being so embarrassed that I missed the right time.

What can I say?

That was why, contrary to my initial decision, I remained silent in front of Suhyeon.

Should I say that I couldn’t help but say this? It felt like someone had secretly applied glue or something between my lips.

So, I stopped… I ended up leaving, using Suhyun’s promise to bring me something to eat as an excuse.

The problem would be over if I just said thank you for rescuing me, no more, no less, but why can’t I say anything?

‘You idiot…! idiot···!’

He raised his still intact hand and hit his head until it made a loud sound. In the aftermath, other parts of the head began to throb more than the head where he had been hit, but he paid it no mind and repeated the same action once more.

It had no choice but to be like that. Because I felt like I had to scold myself for my own foolishness.

Of course, I know. The point is that nothing really changes if you beat yourself up like that.

And… even though I said that right away, I already knew that those were just excuses and that there was a separate real reason.

To be really honest… I was afraid.

I was afraid that a resentful voice might come out of Suhyun’s mouth, so I couldn’t say anything that would remind me of the events of that day.

In fact, that’s the truth, but it’s like he’s just casually saying that he couldn’t help it because he was overcome with emotions in the moment, or that he just did it because he was embarrassed.

If Soohyun knew my inner thoughts, she probably wouldn’t have despised me.

Imagining Suhyun looking at me with those eyes made me so upset that I couldn’t help but bite my lip, but I thought it was something that could not be helped. The warmth I learned thanks to Soohyun was so special that I can no longer imagine life without it. So I didn’t want to do anything that might result in me losing it.

So let’s do what we can for now.

Maybe it’s something you don’t know?

If you do that, one day you might feel a little lighter.

Yes, it definitely will.

‘Write… this is true…’

It’s not easy, it’s not easy.

Just say, ‘I bought this to give to you? All you have to do is say, ‘If you want it, take it.’ All you have to do is hand it over, but why doesn’t your mouth drop like this? For the past few days, I’ve been eating only rice porridge, which has no taste whatsoever, and the grains of rice in it have been sticking to the space between my lips without me even realizing it.

I don’t know why I’ve been going on like this for how many days, wondering how difficult it is to give a headdress rather than a ring as a gift. I grumbled to myself, but I still couldn’t think of anything.

‘···Ah, I don’t know!’

I will definitely hand it over today.

Okay, you don’t necessarily need to type a comment.

If you just close your eyes and hand it to me, they’ll take it on their own.

It’s a gift from a lifesaver, so why should I refuse it?

On the other hand, I thought for a moment that I should have bought something a little more expensive since I was already living it… Originally, things like headgear like this are consumables, so if you give something too expensive as a gift, you don’t use it and keep it for yourself because it’s a waste. Because there are a lot.

So, wouldn’t what I’m holding in my hand right now be a perfect gift?

That precious thing is not made by carving coral, jade, or ivory, but is made using materials commonly found around us.

Oh, of course, that didn’t mean it was ugly or anything like that.

I don’t know who made it, but they seem to have paid extra attention when making it, so each and every decoration is so elaborate that it’s hard to believe it was hand-carved, and the red threads hanging for decoration look quite authentic, with not a single flaw missing. Because I was doing.

I was able to bring it on credit because the material was wood, and because I am the eldest son of the Yoon family, which anyone who has a history here in Chohyeon wouldn’t know, if it was made of something like jade, it wouldn’t be possible to pay on credit, and I would have to pay at least a gold coin. Wouldn’t it be

“The more I look at it, the more elaborately it is made…”

It must have been the moment when I was looking at the headdress I was holding in my hand against the sunlight coming through the half-open window.

As I was enjoying the sound of the round bead-shaped decorations hanging against each other every time that happened, the door suddenly flew open.

The act of hastily hiding the headdress I was holding in the box where it was originally placed was an action that came out of my mind without my knowledge.

“···? What were you doing?”

Did it seem strange to anyone who saw me looking so shocked? At this point, Jojo, who had already left the room saying that he would bring the medicine since Soah would have prepared all the medicine, suddenly had a look of doubt on his face.

“I didn’t do anything?”

“If you look at Amman, you don’t look like you’ve done anything?”

Jojo’s purple eyes narrowed for a moment as he stared at my face and muttered words.

“You…were you secretly eating something again.”

“No?”

“Really… You can’t eat anything until the congressman says it’s okay? I told you it’s not good for your health.”

“You don’t listen to me.”

“Other than that, what were you doing? What on earth were you doing that you hid so quickly as soon as I came?”

This bitch has seen it all. This is why the quick-witted little boy…

It must have been a moment when I couldn’t find anything to say in response, so I just rolled my eyes. An image of Jojo, who had not looked very good since morning, suddenly appeared in my mind.

“It’s really not a big deal, so don’t worry about it. Is there something wrong with you?”

“Uh, huh?”

“No, your expression hasn’t been great since morning.”

“Ah…”

Was he not aware of it, unlike me, who noticed that fact early on? Before I knew it, Jojo had put down the tray he had been holding with his hand and roughly brushed his face with his free hand.

“Actually, my grandfather said he was coming.”

“Ah, um.”

Jojo’s grandfather was someone I knew. After all, he is quite a famous person.

‘To be exact, he is not my real grandfather by blood, but my adoptive grandfather.’

A person who made even Sipsansi, who is synonymous with treachery, shiver.

At the same time… a person who holds in his hands one of the real ‘martial arts’, which can be said to be the reason why I chose Romance of the Three Kingdoms over the hypnosis academy.

In case of serious injury, etc.

He is coming here.

“So what are you hiding here?”

Tuk-!

“Huh? Headdress…?”

“Oh.”
