episode_0042

A park with few people.

In a quiet place where you can’t even see joggers.

I met Jin Seo-yoon again.

“Hmm…”

“Why, why. What…”

When I look at Jin Seo-yoon, who is dressed lightly, I feel a prickly glance.

The reason I called her was because I was curious about the progress of the work.

For example, my relationship with Yerin.

Something like my friendship with Lee Ha-neul.

Other activities to regain the form from the first round, etc.

First, I asked whatever came to mind.

“How did you do well with Yerin?”

“…”

“What is it? Still?”

A week has passed since the last consultation.

In this period of time, it would have been worth meeting and talking at least once.

“No. Is it possible for the second time in my life to be this bad at handling things?”

“Ha, but…”

“But what.”

“If I talk to them, Lee Ha-neul will come from somewhere and take me away…”

what?

Why does that name appear there?

“How busy is Ha-neul, so you come and see it all and take her with you? Even lies to a certain degree.”

“No, it’s true! These days, I walk around with you next to me so I can’t even talk to you…!”

hmm.

I guess the ugly hair that was stuck at that time was having a big impact. but.

‘I like it. ‘Really a lot.’

It’s no wonder Jin Seo-yoon hates Jin Seo-yoon so much because she beat up the man she liked so bitterly right in front of her eyes.

Still, was it possible to keep it in check in real time?

“I need some help with this.”

“…”

“This is crap, ass, it’s a mess.”

“….!”

Jin Seo-yoon’s expression became quite interesting to see when I teased her.

“The joke ends here. Seoyoon, you really have to get nervous now.”

“…I know.”

“Yes, yes. You got a big burn too. To that guy named Kwon Seong-ho.”

Perhaps for Jin Seo -yun, Kwon Sung -ho is a symbolic dog that informed her that she was ‘failure’.

The lives that could not be killed at that time grew into a snowball called Fenrir, and eventually many citizens died due to the monsters who became stronger.

“You have to do it with your own hands, not anyone else.”

I said, putting my hand on Jin Seo-yoon’s shoulder.

Realizing justice in the true sense of the word, something she was unable to do in her past life.

Jin Seo-yoon, the hero, had to give up to Kwon Seong-ho, the villain.

-Quuk…

The tightly clenched hand turns white and trembles.

It may have been fake to me, but it was real to her.

You will greatly regret the memories of that day.

“I contacted him a while ago. We have identified our weaknesses properly, so you just need to prepare properly.”

“You met Seongho Kwon…?”

“Uh. I wanted to destroy it on the spot, but if I did that, monsters all over Korea would be released.”

A biosensor embedded next to Seongho Kwon’s heart.

To put it simply, the biosensor acts as a suppressor that holds down the monsters of Prometheus.

This was a fact that only I, who had read the original novel, knew.

I responded to the face that seemed to ask how on earth we met.

“I don’t know either. They found it on their own. Scary.”

Of course, there was no way Jin Seo-yoon could understand what I said.

Anyway, starting tomorrow, I will try to actively pretend to know Jin Seo-yoon at the association.

That way, Yerin and Haneul next to me will open their hearts little by little.

As I roughly finished the conversation and was about to leave, Jin Seo-yoon, who was still sitting on the bench, called me over.

“Seongjin Kim.”

“Huh?”

“I held your hand without thinking because I was in a hurry at the time, but I still can’t completely trust you. You…”

“Sounds obvious.”

This is Kim Seong-jin and no one else.

If Jin Seo-yoon knew him from the original, it would not have been strange for him to immediately draw his sword and go crazy.

Jin Seo-yoon, the embodiment of justice in the world, joins hands with Kim Seong-jin, the worst villain who is destroying the world.

I probably would have felt a great sense of shame upon returning home.

Even so, since I showed the exact opposite of the guy in the original, I was able to raise my evaluation to a level where judgment was confusing.

This was the reason why I tried to smile especially often when I was in front of Jin Seo-yoon.

“Don’t trust me lightly. Don’t trust people, trust the situation.”

To Jin Seo-yoon, I am a time bomb.

Even though he smiles and acts friendly now, he is a time bomb that never knows when he will suddenly change and get people involved.

However, if you think about it the other way around, I could clearly feel the extent to which Jin Seo-yoon is currently concentrated.

Of course, at that time, I did not miss the opportunity and completed the transaction with Jin Seo-yoon until the end.

Deep down, I was worried about her.

Isn’t it obvious?

This world needs Jin Seo-yoon, not Kim Seong-jin.

We need a hero like her who stands upright against evil.

The abilities I had were too much.

The blood demons look a bit like that too.

Wouldn’t it be a shame to report it to the Hero Association officially?

Since we don’t know when things may change, we need to start an arrest investigation right now.

Public opinion is a very important factor for heroes.

Thanks to this, Jin Seo-yoon in the original work also had a hard time due to the devastated public opinion.

‘You don’t have to worry about that anymore, Seoyoon.’

But as long as I’m around, Jin Seo-yoon won’t have to suffer from guilt, and the citizens won’t have to worry.

‘It’s my brother.’

I will do that.

“Don’t worry, just think about becoming friends with Haneul and Yerin quickly. I will help you.”

I said that and continued walking.

As I was leaving, I turned around for a moment and looked at Jin Seo-yoon’s expression, and her expression was still dark.

Is there anything you think is difficult? You just have to do whatever you want.

If it’s Jin Seo-yoon, the main character, and no one else, that’s okay. I wish I had more confidence.

It seems like the nightmare from the first episode still has a hold on her and won’t let go.

-Are you okay?

‘yes? What?’

While I was leisurely walking home, the Holy See spoke to me.

-Would it be okay to credit Jin Seo-yoon for everything you will do?

‘Yeah, whatever. Even if I monopolize everything, I have nothing to gain.’

-If you want to get it, you can get it, right?

‘Um…still.’

As I spoke up to that point, I swallowed my words.

I’m talking in my head. Is there anything I can do when I swallow it and go to sleep?

It would be more correct to just say that the accident stopped.

‘It doesn’t look good to stand out in front of me. If I had to choose, wouldn’t something like a dark hero suit me?’

-Is that something like that?

‘Yes, definitely.’

I didn’t really want to bring up here that something unusual was happening around me these days.

So far, everything is going smoothly.

There was a twist that Jin Seo-yoon was a regressor, but even that didn’t have much effect.

Rather, we can think of it as moving in a positive direction.

In order for Jin Seo-yoon to have momentum in her actions, she must have colleagues who support her.

In that sense, I started the project to make Seoyoon friends in earnest.

#

As I was chatting with Haneul, whom I had not seen in a long time, at the cafe provided by the association, I saw Jin Seo-yoon passing by from beyond.

It’s an opportunity.

“Oppa? Where are you going?”

Lee Ha-neul asks with a puzzled expression as she sees me waking up without saying a word.

“Uh, wait a minute, sky. I have a close friend.”

It’s a very rude behavior for the other person, but it’s safe enough as far as the bond between me and the sky is concerned.

“Seo-yoon!”

Jin Seo-yoon, who was leisurely walking along the road, suddenly stiffens at my call.

Then he creaked and looked back at me.

“Where are you going?”

“I, I…over there, the window.”

“It turned out well. Would you like to talk to me for a moment? There is someone I want to introduce to you.”

Jin Seo-yoon’s creaky movements followed my natural speaking style.

The acting is extremely awkward, as no one would think of him as the poor protagonist.

Anyway, as I dragged myself into the cafe, Haneul’s expression, who had been watching me from afar, gradually hardened.

As he approaches the table, his demeanor changes to the point where he looks somewhat formidable.

But I had no intention of coming here and biting.

I will somehow connect Haneul and Jin Seo-yoon.

That’s what I decided.

“Sky! Hello, this is…”

“Oppa.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Why is that person here?”

However, the resistance is quite strong.

Just as I was about to go in with a ‘plausible’ background, Jin Seo-yoon spoke first.

“Ah, hello.”

“Yes.”

“Well, I got to know Seongjin a while ago, and we happen to be close friends…”

There are words we have set up in the dictionary.

Jin Seo-yoon and I often meet at the public training center, and we started talking and became close friends.

Furthermore, since Jin Seo-yoon has outstanding abilities, we often learn a lot from her.

What are you going to do about the fact that last time you got hit instead of attacked, but instead got talked down to?

I was out of my mind at the time and didn’t know anything.

The baby villain knows nothing.

Jin Seo-yoon, who was gradually gaining confidence while speaking, begins to hesitate.

It was because of Haneul’s expression that did not seem to improve even as time passed.

Oh, Seoyunsicchi. Is this an Assa action again?

I read the flow and joined right away.

“He was very good at teaching me, and he was also very kind.”

“Ah…really?”

“If you don’t have any plans, Seoyoon, let’s sit down and talk for a while. huh? Sky, is that okay?”

“Yes, oppa.”

And the answer I got back was positive, contrary to my worries.

Jin Seo-yoon’s look of intimidation eased at Haneul’s reaction.

really? Is it this easy?

To be honest, at first, I expected Haneul to suddenly leave his seat.

In any case, if the conversation is working, it is a very positive sign.

This means that the possibility of Jin Seo-yoon and Haneul becoming colleagues has opened up.

I thought so.

But, there was something, a conversation.

Jin Seo-yoon seems to have been completely excluded.

“Ah, Seongjin oppa! I heard a new dessert store opened recently. Would you like to go with me?”

“Huh? Uh…”

“…”

I answered and took a quick look at Jin Seo-yoon’s thoughts.

No, this guy. You shouldn’t make an effort to join in on the conversation.

Do I have to do it all from start to finish?

Did Jin Seo-yoon in the original feel like this?

“I, I…I have a schedule to go now.”

Then he quickly leaves the place.

“Yes, please go.”

Of course, Haneul had no reason to catch it.

I was at a loss for words at this incredible situation.
