by fnovelpiaUchiwa, who had hurt her face at night, and Hanmir, who came with a bandage on her cheek.
It was too exquisite to be a coincidence, but it was difficult to be certain about it.
‘It’s a cliche situation, but well…’
Above all, even if Hanmir and Woochi were somehow related, it had nothing to do with me.
In the first place, I only hung out with Uchi once.
‘Well, I plan on hanging out with you until this is over.’
“Okay, iced Americano.”
“Thank you, bro!”
After Uchi got hurt, he left the drug dealer behind.
He’s still a useful guy, but I don’t want to take care of him, so I need someone to take care of him instead.
“But, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Huh? What is that..”
“That thing on your neck. That thing.”
“…Huh?”
“There’s a red mark?”
“Huh..?”
Hanmir’s face turned pale at my words.
Grope..
He touched his neck with trembling hands.
The way he was trembling seemed to express with his whole body that he absolutely should not do that.
‘Should we just confirm this much?’
“Just kidding.”
“No, are you kidding..?”
“Yeah, I told you because you seemed so sleepy. What do you think? Do you wake up?”
“Brother…”
Hanmir lowers his head when he sees me laughing.
At that moment, I was thinking that maybe he was going to get angry.
Snap!
“Hehehehehehehehe!!..Please don’t say things like that even as a joke…”
A grown man was holding my hand and crying.
“Oh my gosh…”
It’s really sad to see a guy crying.
…
I guess you’re suffering more than I thought.
When I saw that sight, I felt a pang of conscience.
“Yeah, I’m sorry. Mirya..”
“My brother made me cry.”
..this is irrefutable.
Gayeon, who was cleaning the floor, saw Hanmir crying and scolded me.
“Hehehehehehehehe… gay sackie..!!”
“그래그래, 개새끼.”
“Hehehehehe..!! You fucking gay bastard..!!”
“그래그래, 씹 개새끼.”
After asking Gayeon to stay a little further away,
I barely managed to get Hanmir to stop crying by giving her chocolate chip cookies and other snacks.
***
“Okay. I’ll, I’ll go. Brother.”
“Okay, don’t skip school.”
Hanmir, who had calmed down to a certain extent, quickly left the cafe, saying that it was getting late.
“Brother.”
“Why, Mr. Gayeon?”
Gayeon, who saw Hanmir leaving, ran towards me.
“Why is that gangster brother like that today?”
“Um..”
That was a really difficult question to answer.
Circumstances suggest that Hanmir is the one who is responsible, but there is no evidence…
No, I hadn’t told Gayeon anything about Woochi in the first place, so I had to tell her that first.
“..I just met you in the slums yesterday.”
“Because of the mission?”
“Yes. Of course, they weren’t bare-faced, they were both disguised.”
I briefly explained Mir’s identity (who he was supposedly) and what happened yesterday.
Of course, I almost omitted the story about the drug dealer because it was not good for the emotions.
“Then. Brother Nallari, our colleague?”
“Well..”
Gayeon asks if she will bring it to Eclipse.
However, there are many shortcomings to including Woochi as our colleague.
‘He doesn’t even know about his powers yet, and more than anything, he’s a character that didn’t exist in the original.’
Of course, just because he didn’t appear in the original doesn’t mean he’s necessarily weak, but judging from his past appearances, he’s not very trustworthy.
Gayeon tilts her head at my appearance.
“Then are you the enemy?”
“It’s not that bad, but I think it’s not something to be complacent about.”
I smiled and patted Gayeon’s head.
Let the soft texture make you feel good for a moment.
“..Should I go with you?”
Gayeon fiddled with her hands for a moment and then grabbed my sleeve.
‘Gayeon said she’ll come with me..’
It would definitely be reassuring if Gayeon was with me.
If only I could teleport right now, I could somehow survive even if I messed up.
But, as I said before, if you bring her around, it’s too noticeable.
‘In a position where I have to deal with it secretly, I can’t help but draw attention to it.’
So it was on hold.
Of course, when you say the reason, you should say it as if you are worried, rather than blatantly saying that it is a hindrance to the mission.
“It’s okay. I’ll do this by myself.”
“..Why?”
I looked at Gayeon looking up at me and asked in a calm tone.
“Can Mr. Gayeon go to the slums and be okay?”
“……”
And at those words, Gayeon was speechless and couldn’t say anything.
She opened and closed her mouth repeatedly as if trying to say something, then quickly lowered her head.
‘In a way, this is another reason why I don’t want to take Gayeon with me.’
No matter how much it is, trauma is not easily forgotten.
And, trauma can cause great obstacles in utilizing this ability.
That is, the efficiency becomes very low.
“…I can bear it.”
Gayeon immediately took my hand and placed it on her head.
“Just do it like this..”
It was admirable of him to say that he would put up with it for me, but this time it didn’t work out.
Unlike the last concert, this time there is a high possibility that I will be stimulated by real trauma.
“Mr. Gayeon.”
When I tried to pull away, Gayeon hurriedly tried to grab me.
For some reason, it seemed a little desperate.
But despite her efforts, it wasn’t long before the hand on her head fell away, and Gayeon’s eyes began to get moist.
“Mr. Gayeon.”
I pulled my hand away, calling her again, and smiled affectionately as I grabbed her hand before she could cry.
“There is no need to endure pain to help.”
“But..”
“It wasn’t that difficult to begin with?”
The problem was finding the people selling the drugs, but once you found them, it wasn’t that hard.
“If I’m really having a hard time, I’ll call Mr. Gayeon.”
“……”
“I’m not the type of person who insists on doing difficult things, right?”
You will believe me, right?
I smiled and intertwined my pinky with hers.
“Promise.”
“…If you keep your promise, I’ll go on a date with you.”
Okay, thank you.
“It’s lunch time. Do you want to eat anything?”
“Curry.”
“Your order has been received.”
Inside the store, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed.
I still wore an apron to comfort Gayeon, whose cheeks were swollen.
***
“Drink well.”
“Goodbye.”
Afternoon after lunch.
I was exhausted from dealing with the customers who came pouring in after lunch.
‘It’s already this late.’
After the last customer left and I cleaned up the store, it was already well past 4 o’clock.
That was the moment when I took a deep breath and leisurely made the coffee I wanted to drink.
Tinkle-! Tinkle-!
“Yahoo! Brother is here!”
A very special guest came to the store.
“Ms. Narin. What are you doing here?”
Narin, my second subordinate and a hacker for our organization.
She had recently been said to be strengthening the internal security program, and it was her first time coming out of the organization after a long time.
“Hey, do you only come and go when necessary between us? I just came because I wanted to see you!”
Narin turned her head around and explored the inside of the store.
“But what about Gayeon?”
“I guess he’s tired today, he’s sleeping upstairs.”
He started nodding off a little bit after lunch, so I told him to just stay up and sleep since he seemed like he would fall asleep right away.
“Hehe..”
“Are you here to see Gayeon?”
“Of course! I wanted to see Gayeon too! But..”
Narin strode towards the counter.
She rested her arms on the counter and looked up at me.
“I wanted to see you more, brother?”
She smiled brightly and quickly took out her card.
“Would you like a full course meal, including a glass of delicious drink and a handsome boss?”
“..Our store doesn’t have that kind of course.”
“If you don’t have one, make a menu while you’re at it! ‘For lovely Narin’!”
What on earth did you see that made you do this?
I chuckled at her cheekiness and started preparing coffee.
***
“Wow, so delicious!”
Narin, who drinks beverages as if they were alcohol.
Although the sight was really strange, I smiled and drank my coffee.
“…So, how’s work going these days?”
“Ugh, don’t be ridiculous~ How on earth did you survive with that outdated security program?”
I had a hard time taking care of everything from start to finish~
Narin let out a deep sigh.
“You must have had a hard time.”
“Right? Anyway, this genius is a problem because he can’t tolerate even the slightest mistake.”
Although he said it jokingly, he must have had a hard time.
This wasn’t a normal small business program, but one that was being taken care of by the villain organization Eclipse.
“Then, are you not doing any fan club work these days?”
I changed the subject and asked her about managing her favorite fan club.
I’m also going to confirm the strange news I heard yesterday.
“Hehehe, Brother. What do you think I am? This body is the genius hacker Nalin? Of course you can handle those two things perfectly!”
“Oh, I see.”
Narin shows a confident attitude.
I looked at Narin and clapped my hands as if she was amazing.
You knew that, didn’t you?
“Then, can you explain what the Maker Challenge is?”
“date.”
“And why did it spread like that?”
“..hiccup.”
It was a bright smile, but a strangely cold voice.
Narin began to watch me with a cold sweat on her face.
