Chapter Index

    A few days have passed since Hongryeon and Chaejin finished their dance.

    As the doctor said, both of their injuries healed after a day or two of rest. Anyway, since it wasn’t a serious injury, there shouldn’t be a big problem.

    The problem was on the other side.

    After finishing work as usual, when it was time to practice, I headed to the backyard.

    Normally, I would practice in the morning by myself, and Chaejin would guide me in the afternoon.

    Even when Chaejin was next to me in the morning, he would just check and talk to me to make sure I was doing everything right, but that has changed a bit in the past few days.

    “Now. Here, I extend my fist like this.”

    Naturally, Chaejin grabbed my arm from the side and pulled me towards it. He is kinder than usual, and there are more parts of his body that are touched more.

    “Hmm…”

    “Chae is an important part to advance to the next chapter of Tai Chi, so remember it well.”

    “Thank you.”

    “What? It’s our company.”

    “But aren’t you holding on too much?”

    “Can you feel the flow of inner energy?”

    “Huh? That’s right.”

    “You can continue the flow of inner energy by touching hand to hand and body to body, and through this, you can acquire the next chapter more quickly. Shouldn’t you be a little stronger?”

    “That’s true too.”

    “Now. what are you doing? Without moving.”

    Chaejin naturally moved my arm. At the same time, another hand grabs my shoulder. The moment I was pulled into her arms and tried to hold on, Chaejin grinned and strangely moved her hand to pull me even harder.

    “Chae’s Tai Chi goes well with Jinnasu. This is called the island change method, and it is a golden method that can utilize the secret of change, so please remember it well.”

    “I understand. But won’t you let me go?”

    “Of course.”

    When I lightly bounce my body, I take a few steps back. While I was nodding and thinking about the moves from earlier, Chaejin held out his hand.

    “Now. Try it.”

    Now, is Chae planning to teach not only Tai Chi but also other martial arts?

    If you think about it, it’s not a bad thing.

    Unlike the chapter, this scenario in Chapter 1 may turn Seomhwachon into a combat zone.

    In other words, in the worst case scenario, enemies may come into the village. Considering that I am preparing a foundation to fight in my own way, I think it would be enough to say thank you.

    “Try to pull a little harder.”

    As I held Chaejin’s shoulder and gave it some strength, she spoke in a sharp tone. Is it because I didn’t practice it properly?

    I nodded and pulled her shoulder, and Chaejin naturally hugged me like I did before.

    “Is it right to do it this way?”

    “…Yes.”

    Chaejin paused for a moment and answered lowly. good. Then bounce here…

    “…Chae Sojeo.”

    “Yes?”

    “Shouldn’t it be bounced?”

    No, why doesn’t it bounce when I apply force?

    It’s a map, but if you apply that much force, it’s okay.

    Moreover, I am just learning, so if you come out with such sincerity…

    “Ahaha. It meant giving a little more strength.”

    “I see.”

    I applied my strength again, and only then did Chaejin bounce and take a few steps backwards just like I did.

    “Well done. ruler. Then, shall we practice the next herbivore?”

    Is it because the day is hot? A blush appeared on Chaejin’s face.

    But there won’t be any problem.

    After the usual morning training and work, it was nearing the end of the lunch business.

    I think it will come soon.

    “Hello~.”

    I saw a person coming into the guest room with a bright voice. Impressive flaming red hair. And a woman wearing a skin-tight cheongsam, the uniform of the Murim League, was walking in with a smile.

    Ever since the last dance and my body recovered, it was Hongryeon who always came down after the lunch business.

    “Did you come to learn from Yohwan today as well?”

    “Hehe. Yes.”

    “That’s good. Please take this later.”

    I pointed to the confectionery that I had made in the morning as Yohwan taught.

    I was thinking about gradually increasing the variety of confectionery, and Yohwan seemed to know quite a bit about how to make sweets. Even though the ingredients cost less, the taste was better.

    I made a few test items, so I prepared them every day to think about how to sell them after giving them to Hongseong students.

    “What should I do if I get this every time?”

    “What do you think? And what happened to the herbs?”

    “Ah. The kids will bring that later. Because it’s being packed right now.”

    “Then, after finishing drying and packaging, I should go to Cheonghoe Sangdan.”

    “When will that happen?”

    “I think it will take at least a week. Why is that so?”

    “Then shall we go together?”

    “Aren’t you busy?”

    “This matter is related to our Hong Seong-moon, right? So I can’t be left out.”

    It’s not wrong.

    Anyway, that herb was made by Hongseongmun. Since we are planning to send it to the center through the Cheonghoe Sangdan… I thought it would be better for Hongryeon to go with us to guarantee it.

    I don’t think Cheon Il-hwa will doubt me, though. Still, shouldn’t you check it?

    “What is it? Are you going to cover it without me?”

    At that time, there was a woman coming down from above. It was Chaejin. She walked down with a bright smile, looked at me and Hongryeon alternately, and then smiled even more.

    And a quick word.

    “I should go too. Now is the time when training is important, but are you planning on skipping it?”

    “Can’t I practice alone?”

    “Is that okay? And these days, you also practice Geumnasu, right?”

    Is that also true?

    I looked at Hongryeon, she thought for a moment and then smiled.

    “Then we can go together.”

    “I believe you two do not intend to fight.”

    When I spoke in confusion, Chaejin and Hongryeon answered at the same time.

    “I have no intention of fighting.”

    “Because we decided not to have a party.”

    ***

    okay. I decided not to dance.

    But isn’t that and this a separate story?

    As soon as Yuwol went upstairs to look at work, Hongryeon and Chaejin headed to the backyard as if they had made an appointment. And then he went under the big tree and smiled.

    And then, they stared at each other without saying a word.

    “What happened so far?”

    Chaejin was the first to open her mouth.

    Despite her pitchless voice, Hongryeon was just relaxed.

    “Have I come to a place I can’t come to? Seomhwachon is Hong Seong-moon’s territory, and Yu Guest Housekeeper there… Hehe.”

    “…what. If you have something to say, why don’t you keep doing it?”

    “You have a deep relationship with me?”

    “…I know that it is deep in a business sense.”

    “…Tsk.”

    A quick-witted girl.

    Hongryeon briefly clicked her tongue and spoke slowly in an emotionless tone similar to Chaejin.

    “But I heard that the number of classes has increased a bit these days?”

    “Ah. Because the guest owner felt the need to protect himself. Chae Tai Chi and Oh Geum-hee are not bad things. Still, I need to learn at least Geumnasu.”

    “Geum Na-su. That’s good. But what does touching your body subtly mean? Last time I saw it, it was just…”

    “Isn’t it inevitable to touch during class?”

    “Lie.”

    Hongryeon snorted. Of course, what Chaejin said is not wrong. There is nothing strange about naturally touching your body when correcting your posture while doing martial arts or teaching herbivory.

    But considering the difference in level, Chaejin’s behavior was strange enough.

    “Can’t you teach without doing that?”

    It was like that.

    Currently, the difference in skill between Yuwol and Chaejin is literally the difference between heaven and earth. At that level, you could simply lead the inner strength and recite the verses.

    Moreover, isn’t Seomjeonsu, the Geumnasu that he has been learning recently, Chaega’s Geumnasu, which is not that difficult?

    And yet, you teach it directly to me?

    “That’s my heart, right?”

    He blushed slightly at Hongryeon’s comment.

    Sharp bitch.

    How can I point this out so accurately?

    Any other thoughts? Of course there is.

    But it was true that it was also his own mind.

    “And you?”

    Chaejin snorted and spoke coldly as well.

    It happened yesterday. It reminds me of the time when Hongryeon learned to cook a dish from Yohwan and fed it to Yuwol.

    And he cooked it himself.

    In his mouth!

    Something I have never been able to do!

    “…Because I only had one chopstick at the time?”

    “Chopsticks are all scattered around the guest cup?”

    “What do you think?”

    Fazizik.

    It felt like sparks would fly every time their gazes collided.

    In fact, it is quite rare for a martial artist to leave his good fists alone and fight with words like this.

    Because an unmanned weapon is essentially a weapon.

    But does that mean you draw your weapon?

    Absolutely not.

    At the same time, they both remembered what Yuwol said last time.

    If they get hurt while fighting, it will hurt him.

    He said that since they were both important people to him, he wanted to avoid getting seriously hurt.

    For the two of them who wanted to avoid being hated by him, pulling out a weapon in this fight was tantamount to betraying their own hearts.

    “……”

    “….”

    The two glared at each other.

    So, should I just hit the player and confess here first?

    So wouldn’t it be possible to get closer to him?

    But the two immediately shook their heads.

    No matter how you think about it, it is a clumsy method.

    He was a person who could clearly distinguish between friends and enemies, and was a person who treated allies as warmly as he could.

    However, if you ask whether that is warmth towards a lover or someone you like, you can’t help but tilt your head.

    He is also a person who does not look to anything else to achieve his goals. Chae-jin heard from Hano that he did not even glance at the almost naked courtesan next to him, and Hongryeon knows that in Palseonchon, he did not even glance at the pretty courtesans or women and focused on traveling with them.

    in other words.

    He is not an easy-going person who will be taken in by a simple woman and confess to her.

    What if you confessed in that situation and he even said he was sorry?

    If you go through that, your heart may break regardless of whether you win or lose in a fight with the woman in front of you.

    That’s because the existence of Yuwol was deeply entrenched in their hearts.

    Even if he was a strong expert who was not afraid in any situation, he was no different from anyone else when faced with this problem.

    I am afraid of failure and of being sunk.

    Only then did the two understand the meaning of their teacher’s words.

    After you reach a certain level of skill, nothing is more important than training your mind.

    “…ugh.”

    “…ugh.”

    If you fail.

    If you get rejected by him.

    Hongryeon and Chaejin groaned as they were prepared to say that even the second or third time was okay, but they were afraid that they would say no.

    So there is one thing you can do now.

    You must think and act strategically.

    He doesn’t know that his clothes will get wet in the light rain, but it must seep into him slowly but surely.

    Get closer to him, make him feel like a woman.

    When you get a crush on him to the point where it becomes difficult without you, confess it and make him conscious of it.

    Who did that? Confession is just an act of confirming affection.

    The two, who knew that hasty moves in an awkward relationship could actually cause anger, stared at each other and gritted their teeth in shock.

    “…It looks like he had the same thought as me.”

    “…Sure.”

    After all, it’s the same operation.

    At Hongryeon’s words, Chaejin briefly clicked her tongue and nodded.

    As expected, Hongryeon is not ordinary.

    However, I had no intention of losing.

    Of course, it was the same for Hongryeon.

    That’s why the two stared at each other even more silently.

    “It’s a hot day, what are you doing outside?!”

    At that time, a shout was heard from the window of Yuwol’s room on the upper floor of the guesthouse. Hongryeon and Chaejin, who turned their heads towards that place like lightning, smiled brightly and shouted.

    “It’s nothing!”

    “We just talked!”

    At their reaction, Yuwol tilted her head and went back inside, while Hongryeon and Chaejin stared at each other and then turned around.
