by AfuhfuihgsAfter Lee Hyeon left.
I was left alone, buried in my pitiful bed.
“Sigh… ”
Yeonmin-ha let out a sigh that clearly showed her excitement. She had just enjoyed the afterglow of a passionate kiss.
Blurry, open eyes, the top button of a shirt undone without dignity, the hem of a skirt disheveled.
For her, who pursued neatness in every detail, these were all elements that she would find objectionable, but right now, she had no desire to care about such trivial things at all.
Yeonmin-ha turned her head to look to the side, still lying down.
“Should I change the bed to a bigger one? It seems too small for two people to share… ”
And then he muttered as if he had remembered something.
“Isn’t it… It might be better because it can stick more… ”
Then, as if he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
“Hehehe… ”
An uncontrollable feeling of happiness overflowed throughout my body.
There was nothing rough anymore.
Not only did they confirm each other’s feelings, but he also readily received permission from the head of the Black Lotus family, who were practically like his parents.
The place of Baek Seo-yeon, who was like a thorn in Lee Hyeon’s eye, is no longer there. The presence that she had inside Lee Hyeon is gone.
Sooner or later, they will all be replaced by themselves.
Because I’ve already made up my mind.
“Stupid bitch… ”
Before he knew it, a proud smirk appeared on Yeonminha’s lips. After all, ridicule was the natural right of the victor.
Of course, the process was not smooth.
That night.
Even though she knew it was shameful, she couldn’t stand it anymore and ended up giving the spirit to the man again.
And when he found out that the person he was socializing with was Baek Seo-yeon, he fell into a swamp of extreme despair.
The happy smile Baek Seo-yeon made instead made her insides turn into a mess. She felt the urge to run over and snap that woman’s neck right away.
But I barely managed to pull myself together at the end.
The only thing that made her endure was the promise she made with Lee Hyun. Her overflowing anger was barely appeased by breaking the bones of the attackers.
It was a war between two. A fierce war where only the winner could take everything.
And in the end, it was not Baek Seo-yeon but himself who took possession of the sweet fruit.
“… I will never betray that kid.”
Yeonmin-ha recited it as if making a pledge.
I could guess the circumstances to some extent, but hearing the conversation between the two made me even more certain of what happened in the past.
She had no intention of repeating the mistakes Baek Seo-yeon had made.
I didn’t want to cause any more pain to that poor man whom I pitied.
It was also her duty to heal the scars that some stupid bitch had left behind.
‘Their family… What did the Reds do…! If you find out about it…!’
Then, she frowned at Baek Seo-yeon’s shout that suddenly came to mind.
“… What did you mean by that?”
A strange feeling of unease seeped into me for a moment, but I soon shook my head and shook it off.
It was just the last gasp of an ugly year. Trying to give it any greater meaning would be a waste of energy.
He also knew the whole story of the communist incident from long ago. And Lee Hyeon boldly declared that rather than throwing him out, he would embrace him.
In addition, he calmly covered for her even though he knew of her bad personality.
In other words, there was no room left for Baek Seo-yeon to interfere.
“Me too… I need to fix it… But those idiots won’t help me… ”
Who wouldn’t want to be the innocent and naive Young-ae? The bad thing was not herself, but the shallow and lowly guys who would tease her about her personality.
“Sigh, that’s it… It’ll get fixed eventually, right… Huh?!”
Yeonmin-ha let out a sigh and was about to fall into a languid fantasy again.
She flinched for a moment, as if she had suddenly dipped her hand into cold water.
Then, he muttered, slightly crossing his legs and burying his red face in the blanket.
“I need to change clothes again… ”
***
“Please pay attention to the next 178 pages. On the left is the internal anatomy of our wizard, and on the right is the internal anatomy of the demon. This is the result of two mutations that occurred in humans exposed to high concentrations of particles. You will immediately see that a significant portion of the two anatomys are identical.”
In the classroom, which still had a chaotic atmosphere, a middle-aged professor continued his lecture.
“Just by looking at this, you can immediately see how absurd the slander of religious zealots is. The descendants of the cursed god are demons, beasts that crawled out of hell… ”
He seemed to be doing his best to fulfill his duty as an educator.
It is said that such will played a significant role in the eventual resumption of the curriculum that had been suspended. It is said that there was a heated debate even within the Education Committee, to the point of shouting at each other.
Moreover, because the accident had become politically charged, a quick resolution was becoming more difficult…
“It is not yet known how they use chlorination and transference. However, what is certain is that they are the origin of the black magic used by black magicians… ”
“Isn’t it a little hot?”
“I don’t think it’s a little hot… ”
While the lecture was in progress.
The two female students sitting in front of me were whispering, their collars fluttering.
It really seemed like the sweat pouring down his face wasn’t just a joke he was making to show off.
Moreover, they were not the only ones who felt strange. A considerable number of students were also pretending to cool off with sweat like them.
“It was fine when I went out… Did a hot spring burst somewhere nearby… ”
“Now even the weather is going crazy… ”
I definitely feel that way too. Maybe that’s why, somehow, what the female student said sounds like it makes sense.
“‘A diachronic examination of the faith of the father general of the Demon Tribe’. This is the topic of this report. The submission deadline is next Wednesday. So that’s all for today’s lecture… ”
During the tight deadline, small voices of resentment rang out among the students.
After the lecture, I heard someone approaching me as I was cleaning up my seat.
And soon a familiar male student’s voice greets me.
“Instigator.”
“Muyeong?”
I turned my head happily. It was Muyeong, whose face I hadn’t seen since the Shadow Banquet. I was already curious about his recent situation.
“How have you been?”
“Well, just so-so. As you know, it’s so chaotic these days… ”
Muyeong, sitting next to me, answered in his characteristically cynical tone. The hint of agony on his face made me a little curious as to why.
Didn’t you say that the senior who took Muyeong out was someone that Kwon Yuri had specially recruited? Did something bad happen to him…?
Although it’s a bit difficult to deal with, I don’t think Kwon Yuri would be the type of person to lie about something like that.
“Did something happen? You don’t look too well.”
What came back in response to such a worrying question was something I had never expected.
“… Yes. I think I found true love.”
Muyeong muttered blankly. He was so flustered that he couldn’t even speak properly.
“… ?”
“I just realized it now. How vain the anger and resentment I’ve harbored so far were… In fact, even a single blade of grass is beautiful in this world… ”
Muyeong, who had been talking nonsense, smiled bitterly as if he had just realized something.
“But it’s painful. This pathetic state of conflict between reason and love… It feels like I’m no longer me. It’s like I’ve lost my way in the storm… ”
“… ”
It’ll be okay, right?
Although he seems to be worried about something, it doesn’t seem like he’s going through the hardships I thought he’d experience.
I’m just a little taken aback by the unexpected reaction. Of course, it’s a good thing.
With such a serious expression on his face, Moo-young rambled on about his philosophy of life.
“… Anyway, becoming an adult is such a painful thing. Be sure to keep that in mind, Jojang. Well then… ”
After talking for about ten minutes, Muyeong finally stands up with a satisfied look on his face.
“… ”
What the hell was that? Did you really come to me just to brag about having a girlfriend…?
Muyeong just waves his hand with a bright expression and passes me by.
And that moment of doubt as I watched him leave.
‘The professor is looking for you. By noon tomorrow. Instead of your usual office, go to the gym storage room.’
Suddenly, at the sound of scattered whispers, I suddenly stopped moving.
***
– Miss. The restoration of the Red House has reached about 90% completion. I would like you to personally check the progress and give me instructions on what needs to be corrected and how to finish it.
After receiving a compassionate permit to leave after being called by the servant, I headed towards the main gate.
“Hmm~hmm~”
A pleasant humming song naturally resonated through my ears. It was only natural, as only good things continued to happen day after day.
Then, she soon discovered the back of a familiar man.
“Hmm… ”
Yeon Min-ha smiled playfully as she watched Lee Hyeon heading towards the main gate, wondering if he had something to do.
She quietly walked behind him, keeping a low profile.
Soon they were within striking distance, and she was finally about to raise her hand and blindfold the man.
“Gyah!”
He ended up being pushed against the wall with his wrists grabbed in a pitiful manner.
“… Do you also play pranks like this, senior?”
“… If you know, why don’t you just do it once?”
Yeonmin-ha raised her arms in a shameful pose as if cheering and flailed around, shouting.
Then the man slightly let go of her.
“I’m sorry. It’s a habit so I didn’t realize it… ”
“chi… ”
Tuttulgeoriyeon Yeonmin-ha glared at him as if remembering something.
“But… Senior too?”
“… ”
The man, realizing his slip of the tongue, immediately closed his mouth, but the words had already been spoken.
“… Who are you?”
“… Senior Kwon Yuri.”
Yeonmin-ha gritted her teeth in regret at Lee Hyeon’s words.
It is natural for butterflies to be attracted to flowers, but even so, there is such a thing as goodness.
He is already clearly his own.
‘… Of course, that girl Kwon Yuri must have just thrust at the girl who was sitting still.’
Didn’t you say you wanted to look like a good woman? At least in front of him, you wanted to give him that impression.
‘Let’s catch that girl later and beat her up…’
Barely able to muster up genuine compassion, he changed the subject to calm his anger.
“Senior?”
“… No. But where were you going?”
“I have to go out for a bit. It won’t take long. What about you, senior?”
“I was just about to go to my parents’ house. They asked me to check on the progress of the repairs.”
“I’m sorry. I’d like to go with you, but it’s military business… ”
“Okay. It’s not like we’re going to war or anything.”
Yeonminha waved her hand nonchalantly at his words, which were filled with regret.
“Are you coming today?”
“I will come before dinner at the latest. We can have a meal together.”
“… Then that’s fine.”
Yeonmin-ha nodded willingly.
Then she looked around as if she had remembered something.
Then she approached the man and placed her lips on his neck.
“… Senior?”
“Stay still. Chuuup… Chuuup… ”
After sucking for a long time like a cicada on a pitiful old tree, it finally fell.
The area where her lips had touched was bright red, as if something had bitten it. Soon, a bruise like a brand would be engraved there.
“What is this?”
“Mine sign.”
“Oh my… ”
The man laughed in vain at Yeonminha’s words, as if he found it ridiculous.
“I didn’t know you were this childish.”
Yeonmin-ha herself didn’t know that love could make people this childish.
“… Stop talking nonsense.”
Yeonmin-ha glared at him as if she felt embarrassed.
“Go away. I’ve been holding you back too long.”
“I’ll be back.”
Yeonmin-ha saw Hyun off with a hug.
Only after Lee Hyeon had moved away did she turn around to go about her business.
And just as I was about to turn around the passage.
She sensed someone’s presence beyond the pause and muttered softly.
“… Why don’t you come out? Even if you hide, I can see everything. Spirits are more sensitive than people. ”
A moment of silence.
Then, with the sound of clanking heels, a female student reveals herself.
“… Ha.”
Yeonmin-ha, who saw the identity, smiled in vain.
Cloudy eyes that have lost their light, and disheveled hair.
Judging from where she appeared, Baek Seo-yeon had clearly been following the man the whole time.
