“Are you really…okay?”

“Okay.”

thud. thud.

The black cat felt his heart beating so hard that it hurt.

“Are you really, really okay? Dok-eui’s diagnosis may be wrong.”

“But it’s okay. I want to see your face now.”

thud. thud. thud.

The black cat hesitated. really. Is it really okay? It wasn’t a long life, but it was a lifetime. There was not a single person who could resist the magic of this face and these eyes.

The black cat liked the current Hocheonan. Yeah, it was good. It was only at this moment that Black Cat felt that her feelings toward Hu Tian-an became clear.

Hu Cheon-an, who gradually delved into his heart from a simple interesting thread, was already deep in his heart.

The person who taught me the joy of being together. I admitted that my heart was already soaked in the pleasure.

That’s why I became even more afraid. If you take off the cotton thread and turn off the black spirit qigong… wouldn’t the current Hocheonan disappear forever?

But there was an impulse that burned as much as the fear.

Throughout his life, the black cat never felt proud of this appearance. I just thought it was heavy. This appearance and demonic nature were very special, and in order not to be eaten by this specialness, the black cat sometimes had to suffer and sometimes work hard.

I want to show this face in front of Hocheonan. I want to see Ho Cheon-an’s face filled with admiration and surprise when he shows this face.

The urge to show off this appearance, appearance, and charm in front of Hocheonan.

Fear and impulse. While he was unable to do either of these due to conflicting thoughts, Ho Cheon-an was already approaching the black cat.

“It’s okay.”

Ho Cheon-an looked straight at the black cat and said.

“Trust me.”

A word that men who approach me pick up at least once. trust. It felt like only today did Black Cat realize the weight of that word. Those words, which felt infinitely empty and light, remained heavy in my heart.

The black cat slowly released the operation of the black spirit qigong. All Qigong was pushed into the Danjeon to prevent it from flowing through the Qi vein.

The entire body of the black cat was clearly revealed. Unlike usual, he wore a cotton hat on his hat, exposing the black cat’s thin neck.

Ho Cheon-an realized that the unidentifiable scent he sometimes felt from the black cat was the influence of the lunar lag body. Because the new form of the black cat became clear and its scent suddenly began to waft.

Those thoughts were momentary when Ho Cheon-an’s attention was caught by a graceful neckline resembling that of a deer. Ho Cheon-an was impressed by the appearance, but at the same time, he noticed that the black cat’s uvula was moving greatly. Proof that the black cat is still very nervous.

Ho Cheon-an waited silently.

After confirming that Hocheon’s eyes were not blurred, the black cat slowly placed his hand on his hat, feeling his heart beating violently.

The fear that my eyes might suddenly become cloudy. And at the same time, I hope that those eyes will open wide and be filled with admiration. And the tension of simply showing Ho Cheon-an’s bare face for the first time. I even had the delusion that Ho Cheon-an might be disappointed upon seeing his face.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

The black cat’s mind was a mess with the sound of her heartbeat and countless thoughts, worries, and imaginations mixing together.

Tuk.

The black cat took off his hat and closed his eyes tightly.

“Oh.”

Hocheonan sees the face of a black cat for the first time. Ho Cheon-an let out an exclamation without realizing it. A neat jawline that flows from the beautiful neckline without any sharp spots. It occurred to me that when I shed tears, the path of those tears flowing down my chin would be so beautiful.

Above that are lips with vivid color and texture. I noticed my cheeks flushed with excitement and turning a peach color.

Hocheonan’s gaze passed through the straight nose and reached the closed eyes. The look that catches people’s attention despite the closed eyes, long eyelashes and wrinkled eyebrows due to slight tension.

The black cat’s eyes slowly opened.

Ho Cheon-an felt that the image was very slowly being engraved in his mind. The appearance of clear, clean eyes. It’s truly a masterpiece. It was a face that was considered beautiful even if you looked at it one by one, but it all became one when it all came together with the sparkling eyes that seemed to contain stars.

explanation. The wind. It feels like the sky is holding its breath.

Hu Tian-an just looked at the black cat. Without even thinking about what to say, I was just captivated by the beauty for a moment.

And for the first time. for the first time. Ho Cheon’s eyes and Black Cat’s eyes met. The black cat gazed into Hu Cheon-an’s eyes, and Ho Cheon-an gazed into the black cat’s eyes.

A momentary encounter. And everyone, including Black Cat and Ho Cheon-an, avoided their gaze. It was a brief encounter, but the black cat’s face had already turned bright red a long time ago.

“Keuhum. That…beautiful.”

“Thank you.”

“So you saw it, right? I don’t know if I should call this okay. There is no situation like you thought.”

“…Ah.”

Black Cat felt joy seeping through the embarrassment of Ho Cheon-an’s praise. really. I found someone I could truly be with. The fact that I could like that person, and the fact that I wasn’t affected by the lunar lag’s magic.

Grumbling.

Tears came out of nowhere.

Looking at that, Ho Cheon-an thought. I thought the scene with tears flowing down that graceful jaw line would be incredibly beautiful, but the current scene was just as beautiful as I thought. I’m not that happy.

“I’m sorry. Ugh. Thank you…I’m sorry…”

The black cat just cried and let out its unrefined emotions. Looking at that, Ho Cheon-an smiled bitterly. Her face was of peerless beauty…but her body was just a black cat.

“We promised something, right?”

The black cat wiped away his tears and nodded. I told him that if I ever find a gig, we’d definitely do it together.

“Now I feel like that alone is not enough.”

The black cat felt the crying stop. Have you stopped crying? I felt like my breathing stopped and my heart stopped.

Is this…is that it?

The black cat just held its breath without even having time to blush.

“I have just reached the top level, and you are almost at the top, but…”

The black cat thought. state? That doesn’t matter. Really, really? This straight away? Rushing forward as soon as you see his face? The black cat swallowed hard.

I’m really happy. I’m really happy… but isn’t it too sudden? For a person, mental preparation is…

“But we can still be together.”

Ho Cheon-an’s hand was stretched out. As soon as he saw the hand, the black cat felt his face get hot. That hand. If you hold my hand, I will go to Hocheon Ophthalmology…

“Let’s become experts together!”

…Wasn’t it supposed to be lovers? Black Cat looked up at Hu Cheon-an without realizing it.

Hocheonan’s eyes were burning with firm determination and enthusiasm.

“It is not enough to simply share experience! You become a real colleague. Let’s raise the bar by breaking the rules!”

The black cat frowned without realizing it. No, what are you talking about? It wasn’t that kind of atmosphere until just now.

It feels like something is bubbling up inside.

“Of course, I still have a lot of problems left to solve and I don’t know how far I can go, but… it will be helpful enough. Even within the party, the theoretical part was quite recognized.”

“…Senior.”

Wasn’t there just a moment ago when we were in a mood to hold hands and whisper about eternity? He held my hand and whispered to me to trust my heart, then stretched out his arm and hugged my shoulder, making eye contact with each other, and then our faces got closer…

The black cat shook his head and shook off his imagination. Anyway, we’ve gone too far there.

“I will overcome my problems and you will become a master of flower sutra. Although it is a difficult problem to find an assassin who has reached the level of peace, it is not without possibility. Also, from what I heard from the old man in the dock earlier, he said I have a resistance to illusion. If you take advantage of that…”

With cold eyes, the black cat glared at Ho Tian-an, who was speaking passionately with his arms crossed. Ho Cheon-an, who was imagining things, cleared his throat as if he was aware of the black cat’s gaze.

“Someday I have to be with people.”

Black Cat’s eyes widened at Ho Cheon-an’s words. Be with people… It was a story that I could never have imagined for the black cat who desperately needed just one person to solve her loneliness.

“Hmm. okay. Do you remember the story? When I get to the level and go to clean up my qigong, I will talk about that time with Dang Do-gyeong and see Ryeo-ah together. How bright and cute the child is. Because I also assigned hex homework. If you worked hard, wouldn’t it be quite worth seeing by then?”

Ho Cheon-an continued to talk about various things. While listening to Ho Cheon-an’s story, Black Cat imagined himself inside it. The joy of being together with many people that Ho Cheon-an spoke passionately about was not noticeable, and in Black Cat’s imagination, the only person still next to him was Ho Cheon-an, but there were still things he could picture.

Like walking down the street naturally and looking into each other’s eyes. It is said that Hocheon’s eyes prickle at the sight of him glaring.

Ho Cheon-an saw his face smiling with joy and laughed along with him.

Either there is someone or there isn’t one. I just imagine that we can look at each other without hiding anything and smile happily. A picture that travels around the world without worrying about attracting people.

“So let’s try.”

Ho Tian-an held out his hand. The black cat felt something different from before filling her chest. It wasn’t as hot and intense as before, but it was a feeling I had never felt before.

Although the black cat was not fully aware of it, the feeling was clearly ‘trust’.

“I’m sorry for not trusting you.”

Heukmyo smiled bitterly, recalling the Tang Dao-gyeong incident. I thought of Hocheonan as second-rate and like a foam that would quickly disappear when exposed to strong waves.

‘Someone much bigger than me.’

However, Ho Cheon-an handles things in a way that Black Cat did not expect. He was a person who could draw pictures that Black Cat could not even imagine.

“I will believe it now.”

Heukmyo felt that with Ho Cheon-an, he could really reach the top of the world. By climbing the Hwagyeong and learning new martial arts, I felt like I could truly control the Taeeumgi and face people with the naked eye.

Black Cat thought as she held Ho Cheon-an’s hand.

Um yeah. No matter what, it’s still a shame. It’s not okay to make a person’s heart pound like that and then move on.

The black cat stuck out its tongue and said.

“You idiot senior who doesn’t know how women feel. Please take care of me.”
