After that, I suffered for several more days.

It was as if I had a severe flu, my body was overheated, and it was difficult to stay sane.

“Cluck, crunch…”

As I was barely able to breathe through my stuffy bronchi, I felt a lukewarm touch on my forehead.

Wet towel.

Lee Ha-neul, who found me collapsed in the house, freaked out and took on the role of caregiver.

It’s already been three days.

Even though he seemed to leave the room for a moment, when he suddenly came to his senses, he was next to me as always.

“…Ah.”

“Yes? What?”

I struggled to string the words together in a hoarse voice.

“Sky, the Association…”

“Association? My job? Oh my god, what did I just hear? If you can’t even take care of yourself, who are you worried about?”

“I, I…is okay.”

“It’s really a good night.”

Where did you learn to say that, sky sky…

I said these words because I wanted to reassure them, but I took a step back due to Haneul’s determined expression.

“Shouldn’t you say something when it hurts? Are we strangers? huh? Is it someone else?”

“I’m sorry…”

“In the past, I thought he was a decent and gentle person, but there is no such thing as a golden person.”

The original Geumjjoek is called Yerin over there.

I thought it wouldn’t be accepted if I told a joke like that here, so I kept my mouth shut.

-Repeated and emphasized words make dogs anxious.

While the two people were filling the space, Haneul turned on NewTube and watched a video.

To be precise, it was like hearing only the sound coming from the video.

All my attention was focused on my care.

“If you are sick, you should contact me. Why are you doing this alone…”

It was something I heard several times while receiving care, but I never felt tired of it. It’s always new.

An S-class hero, especially Haneul, is the one to worry about.

I felt like I didn’t live my life in vain.

The wet feeling of the wet towel covering my forehead disappeared.

Instead, Haneul’s hand touched. As the warmth touches the cold surface, I feel like my clouded mind becomes clearer.

Nothing else was said.

However, knowing Haneul’s usual tension, that quiet appearance itself seemed to indicate that she was very concerned about something.

‘I’m sorry about the villain.’

Even while thinking like that, a thought comes to mind.

The question is whether this is truly my one-sided fault.

Honestly, isn’t this composition a bit funny?

He attacked me and then took care of me.

Is this the hero style of giving bottles and medicine?

Of course, it’s possible because I don’t know the situation.

People are so worried about just the flu, but what would happen if they reveal their true identity?

-Burr.

My hands and feet were shaking.

“Are you okay? It hurts a lot…?”

Haneul misunderstood him and asked worriedly, but I nodded with difficulty and said it was okay.

After that, Haneul stayed and nursed me for a long time.

But, I’m really grateful for the care.

what? This gaze has something to do with it.

Obviously, and persistently.

If you turn on NewTube, shouldn’t you be able to watch it?

Is my face funny?

‘I like it. ‘Really a lot.’

I tried hard to erase my negative thoughts.

Why on earth does Haneul’s famous line come to mind at this moment?

Even while I was struggling with my worries, Sky continued to look at me.

In the end, I forced myself to open my mouth to escape this awkward atmosphere.

“…Sky.”

“Sleep without opening your mouth.”

“Oh, no. I can’t sleep. I guess I’m not really sleepy because I’ve been sleeping a lot so far…”

“Still, sleep. Sleep is the best medicine.”

I felt rebellious for no reason, so this time I met Lee Ha-neul’s gaze head-on.

Then, his calm lake-like eyes narrowed.

“…Oppa, I have to close my eyes to sleep.”

“How can I sleep when you look at me like that? My face will be pierced.”

“Oh what!”

Haneul countered with a small annoyance, wondering if he, too, was being stabbed.

“I haven’t seen it in a while, but what…”

“No.”

“That’s right.”

“No?”

“The patient…talked back?”

I had no choice but to immediately shut up and relinquish the initiative.

In this situation, Haneul clearly had the upper hand.

“…You said that was a foul.”

“What is a foul? Either let it hurt in silence or not.”

The silence came again like that.

Since I had completely lost the battle of nerves, I had nothing to say, and Haneul just became quiet.

But perhaps because of what I had just said, I felt that Haneul was subtly aware of the gaze I was receiving.

I pretended to look at my phone and then glanced.

I was touching my nails for no reason and then glanced at them.

And while changing the wet towel…

“Ah…! My brother said something weird for no reason and I was conscious of it…!”

“My, what am I…”

I found the situation so funny that I whimpered helplessly, and Haneul eventually smiled when she saw me like that.

“…Is it obvious like that?”

“Huh? No, no, it wasn’t that bad.”

“…”

“….”

However, behind the light joke is another breathtaking silence.

What on earth is this atmosphere?

I couldn’t understand it at all.

It’s as if we’re being forced to become aware of each other, an uncomfortable yet itchy feeling…

“Ah, sky.”

“Yes…?”

“I heard the news. I heard…that Seoyoon and I were really great.”

“Ah…”

Sky was pretending not to listen to what I said, but to ignore it.

Actually, that was the part I was most curious about.

I was in so much pain that I felt like I was going to faint, so I had to take this opportunity to ask.

…It is by no means an escape question from the current situation.

“I somehow ended up like that…yes, yes.”

“…That’s it…?”

“Well, there was nothing special. The villain we faced this time was so strong, we helped each other and barely won.”

“Ah…I see. But I heard in the article that Seoyoon was very active.”

“Yes, it’s very strong. That person.”

A simple evaluation came out of Haneul’s mouth.

But I still haven’t gotten the answer I wanted.

I carefully guided Haneul’s words.

“No, it’s to the point where Heaven approves? I knew this from the start, but I think you’ll become a good hero with this opportunity…haha.”

“…”

Haneul seemed to be a little worried, but soon gave an answer to what I said.

“I misunderstood him at first, but he didn’t seem to be that bad of a person.”

“Misunderstanding…? What misunderstanding?”

“No.”

Haneul, who was looking at me blankly, shakes her head.

“There was a very minor misunderstanding with that person.”

It’s trivial.

It doesn’t seem that trivial.

For me, who knew the circumstances, it was quite a shocking situation.

Because it wasn’t about anything else, it was about gossiping behind my back.

‘Ah, Seoyunsicchi.’

So, I need to talk back a little bit.

Well, since he received it so quickly, the listener couldn’t help but look at him as if he were a pure crazy bitch.

I was glad that the evaluation I had made seemed to have increased to some extent.

“You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to, Sky.”

“…Oppa Seongjin.”

“I just hope that it somehow works out in a positive way.”

I hinted at my wish.

Please make up with me…! Please be a good colleague!

While I was being cared for so gently.

-Ding dong.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

Haneul, who was still looking at my face, quietly got up at the sound and headed toward the front door.

“…Who is it? Is there anyone else coming?”

Because of his natural behavior, I asked him if he knew him.

“Ah…I guess it’s Yerin? I heard that Seongjin was sick and that he was just bringing something for me.”

“Yerin…?”

Yerin came too?

You’re the kind of person who ‘pretends’ to be arrogant in that world.

I thought, I didn’t raise my child wrong.

Since the house was small to begin with, I was able to see Yerin’s face right away.

“No, if it hurts, you don’t have to say it hurts!”

-Rustling.

So Ye-rin, who came with a lot of things packed in a black plastic bag, scolded me for everything.

“…Stop it, I ate too much.”

“Yes, Yerin. I’ve been craving a lot.”

“…Hmph!”

Yerin came home, naturally sat down next to me, and opened the envelope.

“What is that…?”

“I just bought something on the way.”

I don’t think the amount is approximate.

Even if you look at it, it’s in snacks, medicine, and food.

No, what did you buy so much for the patient?

Why did you bring snacks?

You want me to eat? I have no appetite right now.

When it’s all over, I’ll give it to Sharon.

-Hurray!

I asked, leaving behind the cheers ringing in my head.

“No…what did you buy like this? Sorry.”

“Do you know that I’m sorry? Then I hope you get better quickly.”

“I’ll get better quickly. Thank you, Yerin.”

There is no answer back.

That was also the charm of Yerin’s ticking, so I accepted it with a willing heart.

Soon the house became crowded.

It was mainly the sound of me moaning and the sounds of Yerin and Haneul, the two beauties talking about each other.

“Sister, you’ve been really hot lately.”

“Ah, what…”

Yerin said in an envious tone.

That’s what I’m saying, it’s very playful.

“Two all-time great rookies? Do two suns rise in Korea?”

“…”

“The second coming of the fairy tale saint and warrior? Myth becomes reality.”

“Ha, don’t do that…!”

In the end, Haneul stopped him as if he was surrendering, but Yerin continued teasing him several times after that.

Since it was late, they both decided to go back today.

But isn’t it true that you can’t sleep together in a man’s house?

Haneul and Yerin, who had repeatedly emphasized my complete recovery, left, and I was finally alone.

Two, to be exact?

“Sharon snacks!”

Sharon jumps out from beyond the crack.

Still, it was well taken care of, so I decided to take a look.

Leaving Sharon alone to rustle around in envelopes, I decided to enjoy some long-awaited alone time.

-smart

“…?”

But the peace was short-lived, as a black business card slipped through the crack in the front door and fell.
