After eating too much, he immediately puts Kkamsul, who had fallen asleep on the floor, into his pocket, then picks up the abandoned villains, gathers them up, and ties them up.

Then, they selected the least injured person among them, woke him up, identified the location of the bomb, and built a thick wall around the bomb to prepare for an emergency.

Afterwards, I relayed the situation to the guests who were shivering within the walls I had surrounded, and advised them not to move hastily until rescue arrives.

“town! “Ugh!”

After freeing the manager who was tied up in a corner of the manager’s room, we returned to the lobby together.

After finishing roughly organizing things, I sat down to rest and suddenly realized the unfairness of the world.

“Fuck… .”

The person who caused the trouble runs away, saying he doesn’t know me, and the person who got into trouble can’t even rest properly and has to be busy cleaning up after themselves.

Is this correct?

“Ugh.”

As I sit down on the ground to catch my breath, the clear protective wall of magic disappears and armed police and hunters attack in full readiness.

“… “What are you doing behind the scenes?”

It’s too late at least.

Usually, when a barrier is activated, a signal is immediately transmitted to the control center.

Upon receiving the signal, the center issues an order to the nearest association branch and police.

Since helicopters, which consume a huge amount of horsepower but are at least as fast, are used as means of dispatch, they should have arrived in even the most remote places in Korea within 30 minutes, but what on earth were these people doing that they arrived only now?

The answer to this could only be heard after rescuing people and disarming the planted bomb.

“The barrier activation signal was not delivered to the control center?”

“Yes that’s right.”

The signal that must accompany the barrier activation did not arrive.

Because of that, he was completely unaware of the situation and then rushed to the scene after receiving a belated report call.

“… Is that possible?”

When asked in an incredulous tone, the investigator shook his head.

“They said something like this has happened a few times recently. “I only heard that the center was suspicious of this and was currently conducting an investigation.”

“… … .”

It’s not that he doesn’t know anything, but his voice is firm, as if he can’t say anything more.

Well, the agents at the control center are all extraordinary people, so they’ll figure it out on their own.

After completing a brief investigation, we arrived at a nearby hospital with the help of the manager.

After roughly summarizing the situation, Yujeong discovered a wound on his neck.

They say that after experiencing a stinging pain, my body stiffened and I lost consciousness.

When I told this to the investigator, he recommended that I go to the hospital and get tested.

This is because there is no idea what effect it would have on the body if something like poison was used.

As you enter the hospital room, you see Yoo-jeong sleeping like dead on the bed.

“You must be very tired.”

On the outside, he said he was fine, but he was probably very tired.

Since I was kidnapped for the first time in my life, I must have been very tired physically and mentally.

I sit on the chair next to the bed and quietly look down at him.

“… … .”

It was something I didn’t have to go through.

As you live the life of a full-fledged hunter, all sorts of things happen, so I may have experienced them at some point, but at least that was the case today.

The reason he went through hardships was because of me.

To be precise, it’s HS’s fault, these psychopaths, and I’m also a victim, and that’s just how it is.

Should I say that I feel morally sorry even though I know in my head that it is not my fault?

Because of that, I feel very dirty.

“I’m very behind.”

My anger rises toward the person who made me feel this way again.

The unfamiliarity caused by seeing the characteristics for the first time saved him.

Then, when things went wrong and he ran away, did he shamelessly promise a second meeting?

The desired sea.

I too will be eagerly waiting for that second meeting and opportunity to come.

Because I am sure that day will be his memorial day.

Reason for confidence?

Simple.

I’ve never lost the same opponent more than once.

Even if you can escape once using an unusual method, it is impossible twice.

“Whoa… .”

While exhaling calmly to calm the boiling blood.

Grumbling

I turned my head when I heard the door opening, and Jeonghee was standing there.

“Is Dojin here?”

“yes.”

“I had a hard time, but I just rest in my room… .”

The feelings that had cooled down due to the tone of voice expressing concern for me begin to warm up again.

“Can I rest alone?”

The group went to the hospital instead of anywhere else, so there was no way they could rest.

I asked the woman who looked at me as if I was amazed.

“Is Yoo-jeong in good condition?”

“huh. “They said there was nothing wrong with my body and that I could be discharged tomorrow.”

“thank god.”

At her answer, even the slightest bit of tension that had been occupying a corner of my heart melted away.

I was worried that something might happen to my body, but now I can take it easy.

“Dojin.”

“yes.”

“Would you like to go out for some fresh air with the lady?”

I look her up and down as she points to the outside of the hospital room with her thumb.

Judging by your slightly flushed face, it looks like you’ve already gotten some fresh air.

“Wouldn’t it be cold?”

“Dress warmly and you’ll be fine.”

“then… , I guess so.”

Honestly, it was a proposal that came at a very opportune time.

I already wanted to breathe some cold night air.

As I leave the hospital room door, she takes a step closer and wraps her arms around my right arm.

“let’s go.”

I walk along the trail built around the hospital building, feeling a deep lump in my arm.

“The night air is quite cold.”

“It’s Gangwon-do.”

“I did, indeed.”

I forgot about it for a while.

The fact that this is Gangwon-do, our travel destination.

“It was a long-awaited trip, but it was completely ruined.”

When I brought up the story with an expression of regret, Jeonghee looked up at me with a smile and shook her head.

“The lady was pretty good, wasn’t she?”

I tilt my head at her incomprehensible positive answer.

“It was okay… ?”

Then she nodded without any hesitation.

“It’s not that only bad things happened. “During the day, Dojin skied a lot with you.”

“ah… .”

It’s just as she said.

It turns out that not all bad things happened today.

“The last one was a little scary, but… “Dojin, you solved everything, right?”

“uh… , is that so.”

Now that you say it that way, it doesn’t seem like it’s that bad… .

It’s strangely persuasive.

A bit of regret is etched on her gently smiling face.

“It’s a bit unfortunate that we can’t all gather together to watch the sunrise, but what can you do?”

“ah.”

Now that I think about it, time… .

When I took out my smartphone and checked the time, it was already well past midnight.

That means.

“Happy New Year, Dojin.”

“… “Happy New Year to you too, Jeonghee.”

A year has passed by in a flash.

Since I turned 40, the end of the year has been nothing more or less than a time to look back on the year.

I feel particularly regretful today.

What would it have been like if we had gathered together in a warm hotel room and greeted the New Year as Jeong-hee said?

And after drinking and chatting all night, when the sun was about to rise, if you went up to the ski resort and saw the sunrise.

also… .

“are you okay.”

Did he even read my expression in this pitch-black darkness?

She gave me comfort.

“We will be able to welcome the New Year together many times in the future. Is not it?”

Ah, good.

The words that we will always be together in the future warms my heart.

“Are you going to stay by my side forever?”

“huh.”

The immediate answer made my smile grow even deeper.

Then she smiles awkwardly and asks again.

“Would it be burdensome to say something like this?”

I also answer promptly.

“Not at all.”

“Then I’m glad.”

After walking side by side again, we sat down on a bench behind the hospital and hugged each other tightly.

I become greedy.

“Are we going to stay like this until morning?”

Then Jeonghee, who was leaning her head on my shoulder, looks up at me with wide eyes.

“Wouldn’t it be cold… ?”

“Just make it warm.”

Perfect!

Clash your thumb and index finger to overturn the magic around you.

The air, which had been filled with cold air, began to become warmer.

It took a lot of horsepower to force the heat in the cold winter, but it was bearable.

“Oh my, it suddenly got warmer.”

“So now you can stay until morning?”

She nodded slightly and pressed her bodies closer together.

As if it was colder even though there was no need to be because the air around it was warmer.

“I wish I could see the sun rise from here.”

“well… “If it rises high, you should be able to see it, but you won’t be able to see the sunrise.”

“I guess so… ?”

He said it was okay, but he still seemed disappointed that he couldn’t see the sun.

While I was wondering if there was any way, a good idea suddenly passed through my head.

Wouldn’t it be possible to watch the sun rise if you go higher than where you are now?

“What are you thinking?”

“Uh, it’s nothing.”

It’s not time yet.

We’ll have to wait a couple more hours for the sun to rise, so let’s keep it a pleasant secret.

We spent time chatting with her and looking at each other in silence.

Meanwhile, the darkness gradually began to fade.

A bluish dawn arrives, and the sun begins to rise.

I hold her tightly in my arms and lift her up as she is dozing little by little and hold her in my arms.

“Do, Dojin… ?”

“Let’s go see the sunrise.”

“huh… ? Where?”

I answered by pointing my index finger to the sky.

“To the sky.”

And it soared.

“Aaaah!”

* * *

“… … .”

A dusky dawn without the sun rising.

Shin Yu-jeong woke up to an unfamiliar bed and looked around with hazy eyes.

‘It’s a hospital, really… .’

After struggling to get up and go to the bathroom, I realized that Jeonghee was absent.

“Where did you go?”

He came with me to the hospital, so he must be here somewhere.

“… “Did you go for a walk?”

It’s cold and I’m just in the hospital room.

With that in mind, she put on a thick padded jumper over her patient gown and left the hospital room.

This was because the hospital’s unique smell of disinfectant made it stuffy.

As I slowly walked along the trail, I spotted two familiar people on a bench in the distance.

Kim Do-jin and my mother, Seo Jeong-hee.

“What, when did he come again?”

I was about to approach with a happy heart, but suddenly something strange happened right in front of my eyes.

“Aaaah!”

Didn’t Kim Do-jin, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly soar high into the sky with his mother in his arms?

Shin Yu-jeong’s face, who was looking at this blankly, was filled with complex emotions.

“… “What is this?”
