    ***

    ‘Oh… my arm hurts.’

    It was good until he broke Kim Jin-tae’s aluminum bat in two out of curiosity.

    However, my arm started to tingle and I felt a dull pain spreading throughout my arm.

    In fact, Kang In-ho did not want to make a big deal out of it.

    At first, I was planning to diffuse the situation and bring Yun Sia with me.

    What if the people who tried to harm Yoon Sia were just thugs?

    but….

    “Inho, are you okay? But I’m really not… I’m mistaken. It’s really a misunderstanding.”

    When he found out that the person who tried to harm her was someone related to him, he changed his mind to punish her thoroughly.

    So that you never think like that again.

    Among the six, the biggest one used his physique to push Inho.

    Inho slowly retreated, dodging the swinging fists by just a piece of paper.

    At the same time, the first guy who fell while running gets up again, so he kicks him and knocks him down again.

    As he gradually retreated, the remaining four people, riding on the momentum, began to come at once.

    It was quite threatening, as each person was holding something in their hand.

    If he were Kang In-ho of the martial arts world, he would have withstood one or two attacks like that, but unfortunately, his current body is not trained.

    Although it is possible to imitate Yeomryun Gong’s techniques, the skills and durability that can only be achieved through internal techniques are currently far away.

    “Wow, I almost got hit.”

    Kang In-ho sighed in relief as he leaned back and dodged the flying block.

    As I go back one step at a time, I find myself backing up to where Yoon Sia is.

    “Is it Inho?”

    In-ho looked back at Yun-sia, who was looking at him blankly.

    “Why aren’t you taking pictures? If you take a picture of that, they will later say it was self-defense.”

    He said as he caught the flying log again with his elbows and knees.

    As the opponent used his strength to remove the tightly fixed block, In-ho let it go.

    The opponent lost his balance and stumbled back for a moment, and In-ho did not miss the opportunity and stamped his foot.

    He floated in the air, grabbed the back of the opponent’s head with both arms, and brought him down.

    The face that was being pulled down by a rough hand was struck directly by the knee that was coming out to meet it, and the person fell to the ground.

    “First of all, one person.”

    Inho, who heard the feeling and sound of something breaking, ducked down.

    Another baseball bat passed by where his head had been.

    Inho slid and shifted his body’s center of gravity and thrust his fist into the opponent’s empty side.

    The opponent who was hit by an unexpected blow fell forward with a sound of being knocked out.

    “Two.”

    There are four opponents remaining.

    Inho quickly looked around and grasped the situation.

    There was one person taking care of my fallen friends, two people faltering in embarrassment, and one person trying to pick up the baseball bat that had fallen on the floor.

    In-ho turned his body using his left foot as an axis and threw a kick.

    The guy, unable to react to the kick thrown at high speed, fell backwards.

    “Three.”

    And the regime to the guy right next to me.

    “Four.”

    There are two people left. Inho thought about his next target.

    Is it the guy who picked up the weapon, or the guy who is still supporting his friend?

    His worries were short, and his actions were quick.

    Inho quickly approached the guy holding the wooden bat.

    The opponent, terrified, swung the baseball bat, and while Inho was contemplating whether to dodge it, he threw the kick he had done earlier.

    Perfect! With a sound, the legs and the bat formed a cross.

    And with a crackling sound, the bat broke in two.

    Inho tried to ignore the aching sensation in his legs and stabbed the other person’s uvula with his fingertip.

    If the attack had contained strength, it would have pierced the opponent’s neck, but fortunately it only hit the uldae hard.

    “Five.”

    In-ho approached the opponent who had lost his fighting spirit and delivered a soccer kick to the face.

    like that…

    “Six… Do you want more?”

    In-ho, who quickly sorted out the situation, asked Jin-tae Kim, who was glaring at him from behind as if he were going to kill him.

    “……”

    Kim Jin-tae, who had finally recovered from the initial shock, glared at him with his eyes wide open.

    However, Inho could tell. Eight percent of the emotions contained in those eyes are fear.

    “Going?”

    He looked at the people scattered around the park without much emotion and then turned around.

    “Inho!!!”

    Shin Jeong-ah threw herself behind him, as if clinging to him, and In-ho turned his body to avoid it.

    Shin Jeong-ah threw herself onto the hard park floor, and her palms and chin were scratched hard on the floor.

    “Ahh… it hurts… Inho! don’t go! Wait a minute, tell me my story!”

    If she was hurt like this, she would have looked back at least once, but Kang In-ho didn’t even look at her and approached the woman she hated.

    “Can you walk?”

    A voice full of kindness is directed at a woman other than herself.

    Shin Jeong-ah felt the pain in her heart more than the pain in her hands and jaw.

    In that way, Kang In-ho and Yoon Shi-ah gradually became farther and farther from her sight.

    ***

    In-ho returned home, supporting Yun-shia.

    Inho was worried as he supported her. The reason is that I could feel my arms and legs, where I had smashed the baseball bat, becoming more and more swollen.

    ‘The ligaments are swollen… or fractured…’

    While he calmly checked his condition, he did not show any sign of pain to Yoon Sia.

    Because it was clear that I was going to worry about it for no reason.

    In-ho did not needlessly ask Yoon Sia about the situation, and Yoon Sia did not needlessly explain the situation to In-ho.

    There was only silence on the hill road back to his house.

    When they arrived home, they headed to the kitchen.

    “Ah… the rice is all cold.”

    Inho did not hide his disappointment over the cold rice and side dishes.

    “Still, would you like some…?”

    It was funny to ask if you wanted to eat after that incident, but it was the most consideration Inho could give.

    “Yes….”

    Yun Sia nodded with a blank face.

    And so the awkward meal began.

    Rattling rattling

    The only sound was the sound of clinking dishes.

    As the meal progressed, Yoon Sia’s tension eased, and she began to realize what had happened to her just moments ago.

    “Ugh… Eup….”

    So my tears welled up.

    “Ugh, ugh….”

    In the park, my heart, which was fine, started pounding only later.

    Yun Sia put down her spoon and shed tears like chicken droppings on the table for a long time.

    “…It’s okay.”

    Before she knew it, Inho was next to her and slowly patted her back.

    Yoon Sia thought that comforting someone by stroking her back from top to bottom gave her the feeling of an older person.

    ***

    After a tearful and comforting dinner, Yoon Sia, who was not in a position to teach, quietly sat on the living room sofa and calmed her frightened heart.

    Inho’s hot chocolate must have had a calming effect, and she was much better than when she first came home.

    “I’ll go to school tomorrow and make sure.”

    “Uh… Yes… Inho, are you hurt anywhere?”

    “Yes, none.”

    He smiled so that his gums were exposed, as if to show how healthy he was.

    “Thank goodness… It’s late now…”

    She couldn’t get the words out, ‘I’m going.’

    Because I was so scared of the situation outside this comfortable home.

    Would it be okay if Inho took me to the bus stop?

    No, she knows where I get off.

    Maybe he even knows where I live.

    When that thought occurred to her, she opened her mouth and became dumb like a carp.

    Yoon Sia, you coward.

    She blamed herself internally.

    “Teacher, would you like to sleep here today?”

    An unexpected suggestion came from beside her as she was pondering.
