From fighting by grabbing hair to swinging weapons.

In the countless Yeonseo and Spring Books that Hongryeon had read, there were countless scenes of women fighting over a man.

But what should you do in times like this?

Hongryeon smiled bitterly when she saw the place set up in a barren place with only dirt and stones.

The teacher, who is not very dexterous, prepared tea.

Geomseong, who did what his disciples would normally do on his own, smiled and spoke to Hongryeon.

“You must be tired after escorting yesterday, but… um. We might have some time to talk for a moment, right?”

When Geomseong asked, looking at him slightly, Hongryeon nodded. As he sat down, Geomseong took a deep breath and picked up the kettle.

“Oh, I will do it.”

“Ugh. no. I will do it.”

With his clumsy hands, he made tea and placed it in front of Hongryeon and himself. Geomseong closed his mouth and looked at Hongryeon. What should I say?

“Well, is the weather good today?”

“Uh. Yes.”

It was definitely sunny. The sky is blue and the wind is cool.

It was a nice, sunny spring day with the scent of plum blossoms in the air.

“……”

“……”

That’s it. Geomseong looked at Hongryeon with a confused expression, as if he didn’t know what to do. After all, you have to start it yourself.

Just as Hongryeon took a deep breath and was about to open her mouth, Geomseong opened his lips first.

“…June.”

“…Yes.”

“Since when…?”

Since when did it start? It’s probably been quite a while. From the first time I received help from him, I started to become interested in him, and as I leaned on his greatness, I developed a crush on Yuwol.

When Hongryeon opened her mouth, Geomseong was startled. You’re ahead of yourself. That’s why Geomseong hesitated and only pursed his lips.

“What about you, Master?”

“Ugh…”

I am embarrassed to tell my student about the time I fell in love for the first time. Geomseong, who was twisting his body, carefully opened his mouth.

“You know it too. Well… about Hong Seong-moon’s anecdote from the past. And about what my teacher wanted…”

“Ah.”

Her older sister and ambassador, whom Geomseong had no choice but to kill with his own hands.

Geomseong’s teacher had hoped that she and Geomseong would join hands and develop Hongseongmun and Seomhwachon together.

“…I began to think of myself as an equal person, and when I realized that I was a good person…”

The face of the swordsman with his head down turns red. Hongryeon smiled bitterly at the sight of her looking like a girl who had just fallen in love.

“I see…”

“…Ugh.”

Silence again.

Geomseong and Hongryeon thought at the same time. It’s been over ten years since the two of you had a conversation like this together, and this is the first time it’s been this awkward.

But this awkwardness cannot be maintained forever.

Hongryeon closed her eyes tightly.

“Master.”

“Huh?”

“I have no intention of giving up.”

He let out a strong sigh. Geomseong was secretly impressed by Hongryeon’s majesty.

She liked Hongryeon’s confidence and strength.

Unlike myself, who knew almost nothing except martial arts, I had the confidence that I could do anything well, and I actually did it well.

That’s why I wanted to make Hongryeon the next writer.

Because she would be able to raise Hong Seong-moon well.

But when I come face to face with this confidence, I feel intimidated.

“I see…”

Geomseong became sullen.

So, should you give up?

At that moment, her mind moved. From that day on, the images that had been sleeping began to move.

Simma, who was sleeping in his heart, was raising his head.

He quickly pushed it down and took a deep breath, looking at Hongryeon with faint eyes.

“I, I can’t give up…”

Geomseong and Hongryeon looked at each other. If we can’t give up on each other, isn’t there only one thing left?

Hongryeon thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“But when I think about it, the decision is ultimately his.”

If the person you like first loses, you have already lost several times.

That’s why Hongryeon couldn’t help but smile bitterly even as she looked at her teacher who seemed scared.

Haven’t you already made up your mind?

Even if he turns his attention to someone else.

For example, even if we accept Chae-jin, we have no intention of giving up on him.

But does the Sword Saint really have that much heart and determination?

Hongryeon looked at the teacher she respected.

The title of Sword Saint and the status of one of the world’s ten most powerful people are insignificant, and this is the love she is feeling for the first time. And I was perplexed that my first love was difficult.

“Master.”

“…Huh?”

“It won’t be easy.”

“…….”

Geomseong tilted his head at Hongryeon’s calm words.

what? Are you saying that it will be difficult to overcome it?

However, Hongryeon’s gaze was too warm to be considered a provocation. Geomseong, who was looking at it, bit his lip slightly.

“…I’m not an easy person either.”

He found his jokes funny, always considered him an equal, and never refused to be with him.

And he always looked at me in the same way.

In that case, you just do the same thing.

No, it’s not just that.

I was determined to do whatever he wanted.

“Because I can’t give up either.”

Geomseong, who always had a sleepy expression, opened his eyes wide and stared at himself as if he couldn’t back down. Looking at it, Hongryeon remembered a book she had read before, a spring book called Amtayuhyeonrok.

It was quite an extreme book, so she frowned slightly when reading it, but it seemed to suit the current situation really well.

The woman in front of the man she likes is a princess, a palace lord, a strong warrior, or an outstanding scholar.

In the end, she is just a female begging for love.

It is a relationship between teacher and disciple.

Although it is a family relationship that has been together for a long time.

In the end, wanting to be loved by Yuwol didn’t change much.

Hongryeon laughed at that fact.

A female begging for love.

A woman looking at him…

Well, not bad.

“…Why?”

“It’s nothing. Then, Master. Let’s do our best.”

When Hongryeon spoke in a relaxed and confident manner, Geomseong was taken aback.

It’s because I didn’t expect her to react like this.

Hongryeon shook her head at the Sword Saint who was looking at her with wide eyes.

“Why do you look like that?”

“Oh, no, that’s it.”

“Have you ever wondered, ‘How could Master do that?’ Or something. ‘You’re not going to take away the man your student likes, are you?’ Or something. ‘You’re a long-time scholar, trying to trample on your student’s heart with your position as a teacher!’ Did you think I was going to criticize you like this?”

“Hi! Well, I didn’t think that far!”

Geomseong shouted with an expression of injustice.

How much did you worry all night?

I lamented how Hongryeon, my proud student and great sister, was destined to fall in love with the same man.

And how I thought about what to say to her.

Still, I have never had a thought so severe that it was difficult to even put it into words.

“Hehe. I thought it would be like that if you were a teacher.”

If Geomseong was a person who went out of his way only for his own desires, he would have swung his sword right away if he thought he had become his lover.

No, apart from that, they may have already kidnapped him and disappeared.

The small-bodied woman in front of me right now, who is shrugging her shoulders as if slightly frightened, is a superhuman, one of the ten great powers in the world.

Still, she didn’t use her own strength.

I just wanted to win his heart in a fair way.

That’s why I felt reassured.

“But…”

Geomseong, who was hesitant, parted his lips. Hongryeon, who was about to leave the garden, tilted her head.

“Why?”

“How is he…?”

“Well… well, same as always.”

Even after receiving his own confession, Chaejin’s confession, and Geomseong’s confession, he had the same attitude as always.

So I couldn’t help but be a little worried.

“Calm as always.”

I tried leaning in and using my body to try to shake his mind a little more, but instead of being embarrassed, he just had the carefree face in the world.

Well, he is a person whose expression does not change even when his life is threatened.

Wishing for change from such a person would itself be greedy.

“Perhaps someone…”

It seems like Geomseong was curious about that too. After hesitating, she cautiously opened her mouth, and Hongryeon shook her head.

“I don’t know about that. He’s such a difficult person to understand, right?”

“That’s right…”

“Anyway, it seems like nothing has changed about what needs to be done. Because I will keep reaching out to him.”

If Geomsung had been willing to give up just because he liked him, he wouldn’t have liked him in the first place.

She spoke clearly and Geomseong smiled at her confidence.

“…You’ve become stronger.”

Even though he was second to none as a rival, he felt proud as a teacher.

They say that people who love become stronger. I can see that my heart has become stronger than before.

Is this also thanks to him?

He is truly a person who cannot let down his guard.

Geomseong smiled at her, who became stronger after realizing his love for her, and then nodded.

I am proud of my student’s growth.

But isn’t that what it is and what is this?

If he hasn’t made a decision yet, all you have to do is get him to make a decision.

I said I would wait, but wouldn’t it be wrong to get a little closer to help him make his choice?

– That would be fine.

Simma agreed. no. Her desire, not Simma, said yes.

You have to do something rather than just sit back and have nothing.

That’s why she clenched her fists.

“Of course… I have no intention of giving up either.”

There is no intention of losing the person who saves you and sees you as an equal.

Of course, even if that person is his student.

That’s why Geomseong spoke with a proud expression.

“So. Will you sincerely congratulate me on your teacher’s marriage later?”

Hongryeon laughed at her strong words.

“Hehe. Sure. ah. Of course, I hope that the Master will be blessed to have his disciple stay by his side forever.”

The priest, who did not back down even an inch, looked at each other and then turned around.

Although the words were tantamount to a declaration of war, the relationship between the two did not seem to have worsened much.
