In any case, it was a pleasure to be with him. Perhaps that’s why the anxiety I had in my heart diminished considerably while drinking tea and talking with him.

“Hmm… That must be quite a troublesome problem.”

The story told by Yuwol, who knew a lot, contained many things that even Geomseong did not know.

In particular, there were many things that interested her, such as ancient legends or stories from the past.

“In the end, it was probably a matter of choice.”

The story he told was about Giparang, a hero who came down from the sky and fought to save humans.

Possessing outstanding martial arts skills and character, he traveled the world to save people, and is said to have experienced various worries and conflicts in the process.

It is said that one of them happened when he received confessions from two women at the same time.

“It is said that the lord of Hyejo-seong and the lord of Maygok, who received help from Giparang, both liked him. Neither of them had any intention of giving in.”

“So what do you say Giparang did?”

“They were close like sisters, but they say that love is the same as desire for exclusivity. In the end, the two fought to have him, and Giparang tried not to hurt them…”

“For?”

“It is said that he took both of them as his wives. It’s not that I don’t understand their positions. Because I could never give up. And Giparang knew the feelings of both of them well. There were many problems in the process, but Giparang solved them neatly. It must have been a good thing.”

“I see… But there are two of them… I guess they both had a lot of thoughts of their own.”

“I guess there wasn’t one. As for the detailed story, it is said that the story is well written in a novel called Giparang Love Story.”

Giparang Love Song.

It’s definitely one of the books in Ryu Hyun’s room.

But it was definitely a book of spring, right?

Geomseong, who had seen the title of the book while choosing another book, smiled at Yuwol.

“Isn’t that the spring book?”

“Huh? How do you know that?”

“…Uh. That, that. Somehow it happened. More than that, I didn’t expect you to see Chun-seo.”

“Haha. I am also a man. It’s not that I’m not interested in those things.”

As he spoke with a smile, Geomseong recalled the contents of the Book of Spring he had seen before.

okay.

He always looks calm, but he is a man.

She is a woman who likes the man in front of her.

Only then did Geomsung feel his heart pounding.

As I realized that there were only a man and a woman in this room, I felt my face getting warmer.

‘Ugh…’

It reminds me of the romance novels I read from time to time and the story of Chun-seo. I never thought that something I read for study would create this feeling here.

Yuwol, who saw Geomseong gently avoiding his gaze, got up from his seat.

The night was already deep.

“I think I need to sleep soon. The Sword Saint…”

“Ah. Ugh. Then we can go to the next room… So?”

“Yes.”

I saw a passageway in the office wall. This office and the room are separated by only a thin cloth.

In other words, you can come and go from this room as much as you want.

Geomseong felt his heart beating faster.

“Then I’ll just go to sleep.”

Yuwol wakes up and cleans up the place. Geomseong, who was squirming as he watched it, sighed softly.

“Then sleep well.”

I left his office and went back to my room, but I couldn’t sleep. In the first place, if you were at the level of a sword saint, you could maintain your usual state without sleeping for a few days.

Therefore, she could only sit on the bed and watch Cheonman heading towards Yuwol’s office.

After hesitating for a while, she gently got up from the bed.

And then he put his hand towards the thin wall that separated him from me.

-Sreuk…

With a flick of a finger, the cloth is lifted to the side. And then you feel the rich scent.

The scent of tobacco, the scent of plum blossoms, and the scent of a man tickling your nose.

As he smelled it, Geomseong took a gentle step forward.

It was a dark room with the lights off, but this level of darkness could not stop her.

Gently, Geomseong walked slowly enough so that he wouldn’t wake up until he was in front of Yuwol, who was lying down. Geomseong crouched down and looked at him.

She watched him in silence as he inhaled and exhaled, then raised her hand and slowly brought it to his face.

When the finger that was moving on his slightly dry and desolate face touched his dry lips, Geomseong slowly removed his finger.

“Ha.”

He exhaled lowly and shook his head.

What am I doing now?

I said I would wait for him, but he came to me while I was sleeping, so what is he doing now?

It must be because of anxiety.

It may be because Hongryeon, who is his student, younger brother, and family member, might like him.

My heart hurts.

Should I just hug him like this and go away?

So will this pain and anxiety go away?

Geomseong, who was looking down at him with unfocused eyes, began to evaluate possibilities without even realizing it.

Maybe, it might be okay.

There was a time when he wandered around the world and found a place only he knew about.

Geomseong lowered his head and looked at him.

If so, wouldn’t he understand?

If you accept his anxiety and plead with him to let him live together in a deserted place, even if you don’t catch him and imprison him, wouldn’t he accept it?

I closed my eyes and thought about it.

I’ve been hunting myself.

He does housework.

And at night, we cuddle and sleep together.

Joe, do something a little harsh.

In the not-too-distant future, she will have a son who resembles her and has a weak mind but is still gifted, and a daughter who is quick-witted and can judge everything calmly like her, creating a harmonious family where they can work together to overcome any adversity. If you achieve it, won’t you be happy?

Of course, there will be some problems at first.

But that can also be done by taking things slowly.

Also, he is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, so I am sure he will be a great husband and father.

Also, I will do whatever he wants.

You will be happy.

But is that really the right thing to do?

The delusion disappeared in an instant.

Geomsung raised his head. When I face myself reflected in the mirror in my office. I ended up comparing myself and Hongryeon in there without realizing it.

A person who knows nothing but martial arts.

Hongryeon is ahead of him in everything except martial arts.

The question of which of the two suited him best was something he could easily answer.

‘eww…’

A tingle began to well up in my chest.

The fear of not being chosen and the fear of losing to her student enveloped her.

Therefore, she hurriedly returned to her room, sat down on the bed, and consoled herself.

There was no sneak attack all night long, but the Sword Saint was not very comfortable.

Each time, I consoled myself by briefly seeing the month of June, but in the end, it was the same as drinking sea water while drifting in the sea.

The more I see him and the more I feel him, the more thirsty I become.

“It’s almost time to go.”

He came down to the backyard and was watching him practice in the morning. When Yuwol said something, Geomseong flinched and his shoulders trembled.

Okay, now it’s time to go back. If Hongryeon comes through that door…

“I’m here~!”

It was a bright and cheerful voice. When the beautiful woman who was his student, younger sister, and family member walked in with her red hair flowing, Geomseong flinched and trembled as he came in smiling.

Unlike when I saw Hongryeon so far, she looks much bigger.

“Master?”

“Uh, uhuhh. ah. huh. I have to go now. See you later then.”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

Geomsung was in a hurry and answered hastily. Then, after looking at Yuwol, she ran away as if running away. Hongryeon watched her walking away and asked Yuwol.

“What happened yesterday?”

“Well.”

Yuwol shrugged his shoulders and answered calmly.

Geomseong, who returned to Hongseongmun Gate, was out of breath.

My heart hurts.

A pain different from when she was captured by Simma in the past was piercing her chest.

“Huuuu…”

“Master. Are you okay?”

Sayoon was standing in front of her, who had calmed down a little by taking a few deep breaths. I guess he was trying to go do laundry. Geomseong smiled bitterly as he looked at the laundry in her hands.

“Hmm. I’m fine.”

Actually, I wasn’t okay, but my heart was pounding with anxiety and fear.

I couldn’t reveal it. That’s why she smiled and stroked Sayun’s head, and she said while gently holding Geomseong’s hand.

“It doesn’t look okay…”

“…So?”

“Yes. Master. Are you having a hard time?”

It’s hard work.

okay. there is.

But how do I say this?

My student likes the man she likes.

Also, I felt like I was going to lose to my student.

I am afraid that he will choose his disciple over himself.

How would you say that?

But are you going to go to Hongryeon and argue with her?

Are you going to get angry and shout that this is a stray cat?

Or will he be the only one who uses martial arts better than Hongryeon to subdue her?

I could never do something like that.

But giving up on him was something I could never do.

“Master.”

“Huh?”

“The guest of Yuwol said so. He said that when something difficult happens, if you keep it inside, it often becomes poison.”

Sayoon calmly told me the story she had shared with Yuwol before. She met the trembling eyes of the Sword Saint.

“So. If you are having a hard time, why not talk about it?”

“…Is that really true?”

“They say a hard work is halved when shared, right?”

Geomseong looked at Sayun, who smiled brightly, and sighed slightly.

okay.

Let’s talk about it.

As soon as the night training was over, Geomsung made his move. He should be asleep by now, so I can talk to Hongryeon.

With that in mind, she went to her guest room and was relieved to see that the office was dark.

Then, he lightly jumped up, landed on the roof, and looked inside Hongryeon’s room through the window.

But there isn’t. There was no one in the room where the person from Hongseongmun was supposed to stay.

Geomsung bit his lip slightly. And then I carefully moved to the window in the office.

I saw it there.

June is lying asleep in bed.

Hongryeon was sitting on the chair next to him, looking down at Yuwol with the same face she had seen before.

And the sight of him stroking his head with affection.

also

That’s right.

The small hope that I had in a corner of my mind that it would not happen was dashed.

When this became certain and made the Sword Saint’s heart even heavier, Hongryeon quickly turned her head.

“S, Master?”

Was it because the emotions of the swordsman standing by the window were shaken? Hongryeon noticed her and was embarrassed. Geomseong raised his finger towards her and covered her mouth.

Hongryeon closed her mouth to prevent him from waking up and carefully headed towards the window. And at the gesture of the Sword Saint, she came outside and spoke hesitantly.

“That… that was earlier.”

“…Do you like June?”

There was no answer.

However, Hongryeon, who hesitated for a while, nodded.

“Mu, of course, just because I like him doesn’t mean I’m going to give up Mu Gong or Hong Seong-moon. And…”

“…I know. how hard you are trying And how much…”

The tremors of my heart begin to spread through my body.

As the voice contained emotion and began to tremble, Hongryeon tilted her head and was startled.

“…No way. Master.”

“……”

Geomseong lowered his head.
