“I’m sorry…”

“Why? Can you at least tell me the reason? I really like you so much that I can’t give up”

“Stop…Stop it, Changhoon, I’m grateful that you like me, but…I want you to stop now”

thud

Changhoon’s heart turns cold at Seol Yujeong’s rejection.

It was from high school.

Although Yu-jeong did not accept her feelings, she did not push him away this strongly.

She seemed to secretly accept his feelings.

I’m not saying this for no reason, but there were things Yujeong always said.

Things like, “Thank you for liking me, but I have no intention of dating anyone yet…”

Those weren’t really words that pushed me away.

What I was saying was to take your time and approach slowly.

Changhoon did not give up.

I hovered next to her and approached her carefully so as not to cause discomfort.

We have also built up quite a bit of intimacy.

In the process, I was bothered by a strange bastard, but that bastard was such a pitiful bastard that he couldn’t even squeak when he got hit.

Aside from that bastard, there were always a lot of people around the popular Yoo-jeong who were making fun of him…

I couldn’t compare myself to those things.

handsome appearance

Academy Class 6 Cadet

a strong family

He was different from the other guys from the starting line.

Even if you put them on the competitive line, no one could deny that you were at the forefront.

however…

In the past few months, so many things have suddenly changed.

“It hasn’t even been a day or two since I told you I like you and asked you to date me…Why are you telling me to stop now?”

As Changhoon’s eyes turned harsh, Yujeong also began to feel unpleasant.

“Changhoon, please stop now. Just because you’ve liked me for a long time doesn’t mean I have to accept your feelings, right?”

“Suddenly!!”

Changhoon suddenly raises his voice.

Yoo-jeong is so surprised

“Why are you suddenly pushing me away so firmly? You can do it as usual. Like usual… I have no intention of dating yet, thank you for liking me. That’s what you can do!”

In front of Chang-hoon, who was spitting out words as if he was being unfairly treated with his face turning red, Yu-jeong’s expression became more determined than ever.

“It’s different now. I…I found someone I like. That’s why I feel uncomfortable that you keep liking me. Please stop liking me anymore.”

thud

Once again, Changhoon’s heart freezes and falls to the floor.

“What kind of guy is this…”

“What?”

“Who is that guy you like? Do I know someone too? Are you an academy cadet? Are you in class 4-”

“Stop. I’m starting to get really angry now. That’s enough. Please go now.”

“Ha…”

Changhoon’s gaze falls to the floor.

Every day these days has been so hard and difficult for him.

It must have been after I got beaten up by that bastard Kang Ji-hoon who always hit me.

Everything

Everything really didn’t go as planned.

The quarterly evaluation that ended poorly

A long-time unrequited love for Seol Yu-jeong

“Hot dog… came out student.”

The food truck owner just noticed the serious atmosphere between the two for a while, and had no choice but to call Yu-jeong before it cooled down any further.

“Let’s not do this here, let’s go to a cafe somewhere and talk.”

“Changhoon…you say you don’t like it, why are you doing this? I have nothing more to say with you. Please stop appearing in front of me now”

“Yujeong, why did you suddenly change like this? Why are you so cold to me? Can’t we at least talk about it? On the street like this-”

“I like it here. And I’ve misunderstood you all this time. You said Jihoon hit and bullied you a lot since high school? I didn’t know you were that kind of person. I really don’t want to have anything more to do with you now. Stop going”

Yujeong shoots a cold look once again and accepts the hot dog.

“Kang Ji-hoon? Are you doing this to me because of that idiot Kang Ji-hoon?”

“Don’t talk carelessly. It seems very ugly to curse at someone who doesn’t exist”

Yoo-jeong gets angry at Chang-hoon for swearing at Ji-hoon and throws harsh words at him.

In fact, from the moment Yu-jeong fell in love with Ji-hoon, for some reason, she started to hate Chang-hoon horribly.

Until then, she was very proud of the fact that the rich, handsome, and manly Changhoon liked her.

Even though I didn’t accept his feelings, the fact that such a wonderful person didn’t give up and liked me when I kept pushing him away.

That fact played a significant role in raising her self-esteem.

but…

It was a feeling that when you really like someone, everything else becomes meaningless.

Yujeong was surprised twice by the fact that his feelings for a person could change so drastically in an instant.

The moment I realized my feelings for Ji-hoon, and the moment I hated Chang-hoon so much.

Yujeong no longer needed to worry.

He had confidence in his own mind.

“Kang Ji-hoon… I heard that he was reassigned to class 2. The superiors at the Academy are also idiots, that kind of bastard-”

“Can you say what you’re saying right now in front of Jihoon?”

I’m crying

Changhoon’s face becomes distorted.

Until just a few months ago, he was no better than a bug crawling under your feet.

If I caught sight of him, I could hit him like a punching bag for any reason.

The fact that I like Yoo-jeong without even knowing the topic was the worst thing to me.

At some point, even if there was no special reason, torturing that bastard became a normal part of my day.

however…

I can’t actively refute the words that came out of Yujeong’s mouth just now.

Can you say this in front of that bastard?

His thigh, which had been cut off and reattached twice, trembles as if he remembers the pain from those times.

It’s so scary.

Even though I’m scared of that crazy bastard, I’m so scared.

I was the type of person who always looked around me no matter where I walked, in case I happened to run into him on the street.

At some point, that guy stole peace from himself.

“Do you think I’m scared of that bastard? More than that, Yujeong, where did you hear that story? That guy said that? Have you been bullying me since high school?”

Changhoon, who could not show himself weak in front of Yujeong, first raised his voice.

But those trembling legs couldn’t even escape Yujeong’s gaze.

“Changhoon… I was with you when your leg was being repaired. No matter how hard you try to act strong here without Jihoon, it just looks ridiculous.”

Ppajik

Changhoon was feeling both anger and sadness at the same time.

How could Yujeong, who is no one else…

The woman currently sticking a dagger in his heart was his long-time unrequited love.

It was unfair that he was abused by that crazy guy, but the fact that even the girl he liked took his side made me go crazy and jump.

“That guy has definitely reawakened. Or maybe he’s doing some kind of fraud… How can that bastard be a 2nd class?! Yujeong, you are being deceived!”

“Jihoon made your legs like that…it wasn’t once, right? Isn’t it reasonable to recognize that level of skill?”

“What kind of skill is this? Whether it’s reawakening or anything else, that bastard has achieved nothing through his efforts!”

“Changhun…”

Before she knew it, Yoo-jeong was looking at Chang-hoon with a mixture of disgust and pity.

“What about you? What did you do when you were a stronger hunter than Jihoon? Didn’t you also awaken to C-level from the beginning without any effort, and were ignored by Ji-hoon, who woke up to E-level without any luck?”

There wasn’t a single mistake.

Changhoon could only stare at her with resentful eyes, his face turning red.

In fact, Jihoon was a warrior who had experienced hundreds of life-and-death battles and trained repeatedly in the martial arts world.

The expression that an unmanned person is a person who does not put in any effort is, in and of itself, absurd.

But the two people would never know that fact.

The two just continued this meaningless war of words.

Yoo-jeong takes a bite of a hot dog and speaks to the food truck owner, not Chang-hoon.

“Boss. Doesn’t Jihoon come by around this time? You always eat hot dogs here.”

Shocked

When Yoo-jeong clearly tells Chang-hoon to stop by, Chang-hoon instantly feels the hairs on his body stand on end.

“Jihoon…? Oh, you’re a regular at our restaurant? Not every day…but these days, whenever he comes here, he buys three hot dogs. I heard you’re making a lot of money… That’s a good thing, how happy I am that things are going well for that good friend-”

The boss couldn’t help but think of Jihoon without realizing it, and when he saw Changhoon’s deathly glare, he had no choice but to stop talking.

“That bastard…I will somehow…Wait…Wait a minute”

As Chang-hoon spits out Ji-hoon’s curse in anger, he realizes something.

“Yoojeong, why are you still standing here? Now that I think about it…this food truck has been here a lot lately, right?”

“…”

Yu-jeong didn’t answer anything, but Chang-hoon heard the unspoken answer and put the puzzle together.

“Perhaps…isn’t it? The person you say you like…isn’t it supposed to be Kang Ji-hoon, that stupid bastard? Yujeong…”

“Don’t talk to Jihoon like that! You can’t even make a noise in front of me!”

Due to Jihoon’s repeated gossip, Yujeong eventually exploded and screamed.

moment

Chang-Hoon was abandoned by his long-time crush, and realized that the reason for his abandonment was that he was a bastard who had been playing with him.

His sky fell so cruelly.

“Hey… That friend the student is looking for… Isn’t he coming over there?”

At one word from the food truck owner, both people’s heads turn at the same time.
