“Eeee!!!”

Clara returned to her small room, threw herself on the bed, hugged her pillow, and rolled around.

She moves her white legs and hits the bed. I couldn’t stand it otherwise.

─ Then pat me···.

The desire that was unconsciously expressed out of her mouth and the hand that Rohan gave in agreement.

The two things were running wildly through the girl’s body, producing heat like crazy.

‘I gave my head to my brother… I think he’s crazy. I think he’s crazy. I think he’s crazy. I think he’s crazy.’

The girl was confused by her actions and embarrassed to the point of losing her mind.

“Huh···.”

Clara lifted her head from the pillow and tried to cool her feverish cheek by placing the back of her hand on it. It felt like a fireball.

Even though it has sunk a lot since it was stroked, it is still like this. What kind of face did it have at the time?

‘I am?’

Once again, really once again, my mind is complicated.

More about his own condition than Rohan and the work ahead.

‘Do I want to be praised by my brother? Or…’

Even a girl who is just beginning to lead a normal life has feelings that can be guessed.

A girl who has spent her time enjoying subculture knows very well the relationships that men and women create.

But the emotion that forms the basis of it all, ‘love’, is something that each character feels differently about and even has different triggers.

‘No. It’s been a while since I met you… I just feel good about you and think you’re a good person…?’

That point also becomes a refuge for Clara, who cannot stretch her legs.

Because I’ve seen what happens and how relationships fall apart when confessions are rejected.

Isn’t it so scary?

Of course, that’s not reality, it’s something I’ve seen in games and animations.

“···.”

That is why the girl is afraid and scared to give a definite answer to this question.

Even if you don’t confess, the moment you name and nail down your current feelings, you never know how they will change.

Woof──!

The long-awaited smartphone vibration.

The girl, who had been lost in thought, suddenly stretched out her hand.

[ Rohan Oppa: The instructor came all the way to the police station. Did you get home safely? ]

“!”

If you’re an instructor, it’s that red-haired beauty!

Just thinking about it is terrifying. If you stand in front of it, you won’t even be able to speak. Your mouth will water.

‘Oh, what should I do? I can’t win with my current skills…’

The girl’s consciousness somehow comes to that conclusion.

“···.”

In an instant, the fever subsided. The girl rose calmly from the bed.

I felt like I needed to take a shower with ice-cold water right away.

And Clara herself doesn’t know why.

Right now, training is more important than playing games.

*****

“Wow!”

This is what the most luxurious residential facilities in Academy City look like.

Rohan, who followed the lead actor, let out a transparent exclamation of admiration as he walked through the luxurious entrance.

At that sight, Jooyeon silently smiled, entered the password, and grabbed the doorknob.

I stopped my hand at the fleeting thought.

‘Did you put all the underwear in the drying rack···?’

I always try to keep housework and cleaning up the house, but you never know.

In addition, I remembered that I had left the lights on because I was in a hurry to come out.

“Rohan.”

“Yep!”

“I’m sorry. Can you wait a moment?”

“Of course.”

Rohan, an unscheduled guest, understands the protagonist.

While waiting, Rohan sent a text to Clara.

How long did I wait for Joo-yeon to come home?

Beep! Beep!

The door opened wide and the lead actor’s face appeared.

What you see is not a suit, but comfortable everyday clothes. It is a precious painting that cannot be seen in Abyss City.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting when you’re not feeling well. Come in.”

“No! Excuse me!”

The protagonist’s house had a soft, warm feeling.

The space is dominated by a pleasant temperature that makes you feel like you could fall asleep if you just lie down on your back.

“Take it easy. Rest is the best medicine right now.”

“Yes! I was surprised at how big it was. I’ve never seen a house like this before.”

“It’s just hard to manage even if it’s wide. The actual usable area isn’t that big.”

Just as the protagonist said, the hallway leading to the living room was long and wide.

Still, overall it’s neat.

‘Is this a part that shows the instructor’s personality?’

There isn’t a speck of dust in the corner. It’s meticulous.

Even when we arrived at the large space that was presumed to be the living room, it was like a model house that had been meticulously managed.

A digital clock floating on the window caught my eye.

[ 00:04:32 Sunday ]

Looking at the time, Rohan naturally opened his mouth.

“Oh, the days have passed.”

“I see. It’s Sunday already.”

Rohan thought. So much has happened in one day.

After meeting Noah and studying, he works part-time at a bookstore, where he and Clara become acquainted, and after work, he stops by the dormitory with Clara and ends up destroying an organization.

Finally, arriving at the main character’s house and arriving on Sunday, Saturday was a masterpiece among masterpieces as I looked back.

‘Okay. I like it.’

Unlike his previous life, Rohan enjoyed his lively daily life.

I think I can continue to work hard in the future.

“It’s getting late, so you’d better go to bed quickly. I’ll give you some toiletries, so wash up quickly and go to the bedroom to lie down.”

Rohan was lost in thought for a moment as he listened to the main character’s advice to not let water touch the wound today since he had already applied medicine to it.

Then I looked around. I saw closed doors and asked with a hopeful mind.

“I, Rohan! I have something to ask you, Instructor.”

“Say it.”

“Are there multiple bedrooms in this house?”

The lead actor made a face as if he didn’t know what she meant.

And after a moment of thought, he understands. The corners of his lips slightly rise.

“There is only one. The first guest to enter this house is also a Rohan cadet.”

“Oh··· It’s an honor!”

“Heh, you seem surprisingly nervous.”

Although Joo-yeon said it jokingly, it is true that Rohan is the first customer.

The Academy City residence provided by the Academy Dean has never had any guests, let alone men.

Besides, Samhwaguk’s house is not much different.

The main character’s home in Korea is the house where she lives with her parents. Although her friends come to visit occasionally, they are all the same women.

This is the first time in Joo-yeon’s life that she has brought a man who is not her family into her home.

“There’s only one bed, but don’t worry. The instructor won’t be sleeping well tonight.”

“By any chance─.”

As Rohan was about to say the expected words, Juyeon cut him off.

It was a force that did not allow for any objection.

“Don’t worry, I’m not awake just because of Rohan’s problem.”

“···.”

“I’m just curious about the back of the book that was covered. It’s not like I’m going to have any problems if I don’t sleep for a day.”

Sheriffs may receive urgent contact regarding the scene investigation and the remnants.

Those were the kind of calls that the protagonist, as the guardian, should have received anyway.

“Go wash up first. This is all you need. It has everything you need inside.”

The protagonist opened the shelf and handed over a toothbrush.

Since I can’t even shower today, this was enough.

Rohan came out after lightly washing his face and brushing his teeth.

The protagonist delivered the sad news while drinking coffee in the meantime.

“Unfortunately, the instructor didn’t have any clothes that Rohan could wear. The size wouldn’t fit.”

“It’s okay. It’s still comfortable clothes.”

There is no comparison in terms of strength, but in terms of appearance, Rohan’s size and height are larger than the main character.

Not having anything to wear was inevitable.

“The open door over there is the bedroom. Go and sleep quickly.”

“No, I’ll sleep on the sofa!”

“Hmm, aren’t you listening to the instructor? As time goes by, the impression that Rohan Cadet is a problem child grows stronger.”

“···Please excuse me in the bedroom.”

Rohan, who intuitively felt that nothing he said would work, quickly lowered his head.

The protagonist followed her, saying he had to see her go into the bedroom and cover herself with the blanket.

“Isn’t it cold? You can raise the temperature.”

“It’s just right. It’s such a great temperature that I feel like I’ll fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes.”

“···.”

How can you be so good at talking?

The lead actor was so dumbfounded that he burst out laughing.

Rohan, who was lying down and admiring the feel of the expensive pillow, stopped Jooyeon from leaving the room with his voice.

“Instructor.”

“Huh?”

“Waking up and going to the gym···.”

Even before Rohan finished speaking, the protagonist’s eyes became sharp.

The gaze that shot at me was hot like fire.

“I won’t allow it. Are you begging to be watched by the instructor until you are fully recovered?”

“No! I was going to say, “I guess I should rest…” ”

As expected, I won’t be able to see Ichinose’s face, which used to be like the start of a day.

It’s actually a shame.

“But I’ll still go to work.”

“Ask for understanding. As the sheriff said, there will be a considerable bounty and honorarium.”

The main character is usually unstoppable. But now it’s different.

After getting a promise to take a break from work in just a few words, Joo-yeon uncrossed his arms and placed his hand on the light switch.

“Instructor.”

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“The most important word.”

“···What is it?”

It seemed as if the lead actor was satisfied with listening.

Rohan lifted his head from the pillow and smiled as he got to the main point.

“Thank you so much for today. If I see you in my dreams, I will express my gratitude again.”

“···.”

With those words, he puts his head back on the pillow and closes his eyes.

The protagonist turned off the lights and came out, laughing in vain.

··

3 a.m.

The protagonist was sitting in the living room, leisurely reading a book.

Keep your phone next to you so you can contact him at any time.

Sharak. Sharak.

How many books have I flipped through like that?

─ If you go there, the road is…

Rohan’s voice came from the bedroom.

The protagonist’s hearing caught it right away, and he got up from his seat and headed to the bedroom.

With the sound of footsteps silenced.

When Joo-yeon entered the bedroom, he saw Rohan groaning on the bed.

“I have to kill··· Ugh···.”

Am I having a nightmare?

Even with your eyes closed, the pain in your eyes paints a picture of what it feels like.

“If you just go down this road···you can survive···.”

The words that come out while sleeping are all the same.

It is a form of struggling to survive.

“···.”

Are you looking back on your time in the South?

The lead actor felt an indescribable emotion at Rohan’s strange appearance.

‘I’ve never seen anything like this at the Academy.’

I always saw him being polite and trying to smile.

They may be a reflection of the aftereffects of the mind.

The protagonist took a step towards the bed.

I reached out my hand carefully.

“It’s okay. Don’t worry.”

“Ugh···.”

The protagonist spoke softly to Rohan so that he wouldn’t wake up, and wiped away the cold sweat with his warm hands.

His face looked a little more relaxed.

The protagonist sat up on the bed with an incredibly gentle smile on his face.

I waited for Rohan to calm down.
