Arrived.

I parked my car at the building where Lee So-young, who is called Yoo Seo, was. Thanks to this, I had to walk to the academy, but I was lucky because I had something to think about.

“It’s night, now.”

I remember it was daytime when I first came here, but time really flew by.

“Okay, then. Go back quickly.”

“That’s right.”

We parked the car and walked straight towards the academy.

I told myself that I had to get there quickly, but I was walking very slowly. I felt like I was going to faint because I was so relaxed.

‘shallot…….’

As expected, I couldn’t help but think about its existence.

I knew nothing about that woman, Charlotte. It was as if she had left a will, and it made me feel even less certain about my future.

It was to the point where I thought that maybe it wasn’t a being hidden in the original work, but rather a completely new being created.

That doesn’t mean there wasn’t much I could do in the end.

Of course, I could use it as my weapon later on, or I could predict it in advance and prepare to block any attack.

But since there was nothing I could do right now, I could only think about it.

Looking straight ahead, I could see that I had arrived at the dormitory.

It was a scenery I always saw, but today for some reason it gave me a warm feeling.

“Then I guess I’ll go now.”

“Goodbye.”

After exchanging a quick greeting with Yu Seo-ra, I slowly walked down the hallway. I tried my best to clear my mind of distracting thoughts and walked with all my might, determined to go straight to bed as soon as I got into my room.

I finally arrived at the doorstep.

“What the fuck?”

I could see that the door was broken.

‘What the heck, did someone attack us?’

Could it be that information about me was leaked to the Masin cult?

Did Lee Do-hyun do something stupid? Or did that middle-aged man I met back then do something? I don’t know what it was, but I couldn’t help but be on guard.

I walked slowly, holding the gun with few bullets left. It was slow, but there was nothing I could do about it. At least I had to be careful because there might be someone inside.

Even though I only went a little way inside, I could feel the presence of people.

“Who are you!”

I rushed in and took up a stance. Then the guy turned to me in surprise and confusion.

That person was someone I knew.

“Huh? Lee Ji-hye?”

Lee Ji-Hee was looking at me with an awkward smile. Her eyes were moist as if she would burst into tears at any moment, and she looked somewhat like an abandoned puppy.

Still, I couldn’t understand what the situation was, so I tried my best to smile as if nothing had happened.

“What are you doing?”

I said in a tone of embarrassment.

Then Lee Ji-hye laughed and slowly approached me, one step at a time.

“Hey, you’re here?”

What are you talking about?

“What is happening now?”

Lee Ji-hye continued to laugh at my words, but then suddenly lowered her head.

“Mi, I’m sorry.”

“No, so what is this situation?”

“That’s what I mean…….”

Lee Ji-hye explained the situation in a trembling voice.

To put it very simply, he said he knocked but I didn’t come out. So he thought something had happened and broke the door down and came in, and that’s how things turned out.

What a cripple!

“Then what about that phone call earlier? You should know because I called.”

“That was after I came in…….”

aha.

I stood there in silence, then sighed with a tired expression. The situation was really frustrating.

Lee Ji-hye observed my reaction and then lowered her head to me with a guilty expression.

“Oh, I’m sorry!”

“……No, it’s fine. Just pay the door fee and I’ll forgive you.”

It’s not like it’ll end just because I don’t forgive.

“Really? Thank you so much. I’ll figure it out somehow.”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

I looked around for a moment and then became lost in thought.

But if you break the door like this, wouldn’t the dorm manager come? But there’s no response? I was a little suspicious, but I decided to stay still, thinking that Lee Ji-hye would somehow solve the problem.

‘Then where should I sleep tonight?’

Do I have to sleep outside?

Wow, this is fucking bullshit.

I glared at Lee Ji-hye again, feeling even dirtier. I just wanted to get some rest today, what the hell is this?

Lee Ji-hye turned her head as if she felt my warm gaze. When she looked at me, she must have still felt uneasy, so she opened her mouth first.

“But where are you going to sleep? Do you have a place to sleep?”

Those words made me ponder for a moment.

When I think about it, I don’t have any money, so where can I sleep? I kept thinking about that and came to a conclusion.

“I’ll just sleep in my friend’s room, you know.”

I thought it was something I could just do if I got rid of Seo Jae-hyeok’s room, so I thought about it lightly.

Of course, Nana would be a little uncomfortable, but she had to sleep somewhere anyway, so there was nothing she could do. But I thought that if it was Seo Jae-hyuk, it would be okay somehow.

“I’m really sorry. The door will be fixed soon by tomorrow, so please wait a little longer.”

“Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. ”

After saying that, I immediately left the room. With the intention of going to sleep quickly, I tried to go to the room where Seo Jae-hyuk was.

“But you really have a good place to stay, right? You weren’t lying because you thought I’d worry, right?”

Why would I lie like that?

I’m not a very nice person, so I don’t notice things like that. I couldn’t hold back my irritation for a moment and said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

“Then why? Can you do something for me?”

“Hey, do you want to sleep at my house?”

What the fuck?

I was so flustered for a moment that I almost swore out of habit.

No, even though I’m a high school student now, you’re inviting a guy to your house?

‘Could it be that our relationship of trust was that thick?’

Well, it was a very possible idea, since we had been through the same thing once.

I thought about it for a moment and then said.

“Is the bed in that house comfortable?”

“Huh? Of course.”

“Then let’s go right away.”

What does it matter since I won’t be doing anything anyway? With that in mind, I accepted her invitation.

“Okay. Then let’s go right away.”

Lee Ji-hye looked excited about something.

*

We arrived quickly in the car that Lee Ji-hye came in. As we got out, a very large apartment building caught our eye.

Since it was a place that had appeared in the original work, I prepared myself mentally in advance, but as expected, it was an amazing place.

“Okay, let’s go inside.”

Lee Ji-hye smiled and invited me, and I nodded in agreement. I went inside and got on the elevator right away.

Time passed like that and we arrived at the floor where Lee Ji-hye lived. We didn’t have a proper conversation during that time, so I could feel the atmosphere being a little awkward.

‘Once we go inside, we should have a proper conversation.’

I don’t know what kind of conversation that was.

While she was thinking about that, Lee Ji-hye opened the door without hesitation. When she looked inside, she saw that it was a very spacious place, just like what she had seen from the outside.

“This is the house I live in.”

Of course, since you invited me.

I took off my shoes and went right inside.

“Oh, here are some slippers. Put them on and go.”

She handed me a pair of indoor shoes that were in the shoe cabinet in a really cheerful tone. Without hesitation, I threw them on the floor and put them on, then looked around for a moment.

‘It’s really wide.’

Sesam I feel a new sensation. While I was thinking that, Lee Ji-hye walked next to me and pointed to a room.

“That’s the guest room. You can sleep there.”

“Oh, yes. Okay. ”

I nodded and walked straight to my room, opening the door. As expected, the room was really clean and in good condition, and it felt soft somehow.

“You can sleep here now.”

At that moment, Lee Ji-hye suddenly came next to me and I was startled for a moment.

He came suddenly without saying anything.

“So, now I want to wash up, where should I go?”

“That one? Over there, over there is fine.”

“Thank you.”

I had a brief conversation and then walked straight to the bathroom.

Luckily, I brought a change of clothes with me, so nothing weird happened. If I had forgotten to bring a change of clothes, I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened.

*

Kim Seo-jin changed his clothes and was about to walk to his room. But then Lee Ji-hye, who was in the living room, came over and spoke to him.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Oh, yes. I’m a little tired.”

He answered with his always friendly expression.

“That’ll be fine, right?”

Lee Ji-hye said with a slightly regretful tone.

In fact, she felt a little happy that Kim Seo-jin came to her house. Maybe it was because there was a possibility that she would be able to see a new side of him.

It was something that we had been looking forward to, but unfortunately, we haven’t been able to see anything unexpected yet.

So I was thinking of having a last conversation with him, but he said he was sleeping right now.

‘I can’t help it.’

In the end, it was Kim Seo-jin herself who chose it. So if he said no, it was something that had to be overlooked.

It was at that time that I was about to pass over it, feeling slightly depressed.

“Then shall we talk for a moment?”

He smiled and invited her to talk to him. Lee Ji-hye was happy for a moment, but decided to answer as if nothing had happened in order to maintain her image as much as possible.

“Okay, then let’s do that.”

Lee Ji-hye looked around to find a place to sit for a while. Maybe it was because it was nighttime, so Kim Seo-jin could tell her something. With that thought in mind, she looked at the dining table in the kitchen next to the living room.

“Then let’s go over there and talk.”

As Kim Seo-jin went and sat down, Lee Ji-hye also went and sat down right in front of him.

“Hmm, I don’t know what to talk about. I’ve never been the one to take the lead in a conversation.”

“Then let me ask.”

Lee Ji-hye spoke without a moment’s hesitation.

“Where did you go today?”

Something I’ve always wondered about.

I couldn’t help but be curious about where Kim Seo-jin had gone that day. Of course, he had said it was personal reasons that he couldn’t talk about on the phone.

But now, unlike then, there were more questions to ask.

“The clothes you were wearing, are they hunter gear? They look pretty dirty too. Did you go through some gate or something?”

Lee Ji-hye said in a slightly subdued voice.

To be honest, it is illegal to enter the gate without permission. So what Lee Ji-hye was doing now could be seen as an interrogation.

Of course, she would let it slide even if Kim Seo-jin really did illegally turn the gate. More than anything, she could trust him.

Lee Ji-hye, who had been quietly watching Kim Seo-jin’s reaction, observed the atmosphere.

I thought it might be a bit heavier, but fortunately I didn’t feel much of a difference. It was a fact that made me think that maybe Kim Seo-jin didn’t take it too seriously.

Kim Seo-jin, who had been expressionless, spoke softly.

“I’m sorry, but it’s personal. Can you please excuse me?”

A somewhat expected answer.

I said this with the expectation that if I hit on something Kim Seo-jin had been hiding, he would respond, but as expected, he just brushed it aside.

If you ask more questions here, she could tell you, but Lee Ji-hye decided to skip it because it might ruin the relationship for no reason.

‘I have more questions anyway.’

Lee Ji-hye said with a smile this time.

“Then, are you studying well these days? I heard it’s the Academy exam period right now, so I’m a little curious.”

Of course, I thought that Kim Seo-jin would definitely be good at studying. It was rather surprising that he was not good at studying, so Lee Ji-hye waited for a moment for an answer.

Let’s take a moment to guess the answer.

I think they’ll probably just say, out of courtesy, that they’re not very good at it.

Or, let’s say it’s above average.

But Lee Ji-hye’s prediction turned out to be completely wrong.

“Yes? Exam period?”

Is it already like that?

What the fuck?
