***

Kang In-ho vaguely guessed that Jin-tae had bad feelings towards him.

And if you go down the stem of that ill-feeling, I concluded that at the end of the root there would be feelings of inferiority, anger, and murderous intent toward the existence of Kang In-ho.

But when he actually dug into the roots, what he found at the end was not what he expected.

Concern, pleading.

Even though he hates himself to death, he begs.

what?

For the first time since being possessed in this dimension, Kang In-ho felt confused.

I felt like I was vividly witnessing the assumptions that I thought were natural being violated.

Not knowing that he was looking down at him with a dumbfounded face, Kim Jin-tae cried out in tears and snot.

“If you brought in a quiet child, wouldn’t you be responsible?”

Uh… wait…

Kang In-ho thought to himself.

“The kid who follows you around because he likes you… The kid who gave everything he had because he likes you… Don’t you have to treat him well in a humane way?”

At least that’s what humans should do, right?

Jintae Kim added.

What Shin Jeong-ah once said connected like puzzle pieces.

I wasn’t sure, but I felt like I had a vague idea of how things started and how things were progressing.

“Hey… wait….”

Feeling like his head was spinning, Kang In-ho opened his mouth, but Kim Jin-tae paid no attention.

“Let’s tell you everything… You honestly knew, right?”

Kim Jin-tae stood up shakily.

Like a newborn foal, his legs were shaking, and he was barely able to raise his injured body by placing his hands on his knees.

He spat blood-mixed spit onto the floor.

Even though it was a short attack, he was seriously injured and his whole body was in tatters, but his eyes were straight towards Kang In-ho.

Kim Jin-tae took a deep breath.

And the sincerity that had been suppressed deep in my heart was brought out through the tools of anger and courage.

“What do I think of Shinjeong?”

Like the cigarette smoke he exhaled, the sentences that came out of his mouth formed a long tail and were delivered to Kang In-ho.

Kang In-ho closed his eyes tightly.

This is because I could see the families that had been vague until just now slowly coming together and taking shape.

“Stop….”

Kang In-ho tried to stop Kim Jin-tae.

But the sound didn’t stop him.

“Even though you knew… no, it was more because you knew, right?”

Kim Jin-tae’s lips trembled.

“Holding hands in front of me, hugging and…”

Kim Jin-tae frowned, as if he didn’t want to think about it.

“Stop it.”

I calm my upset stomach and grab Kim Jin-tae by the collar.

The opponent squealed as he was violently snatched away.

“Of course… that’s right if you do.”

Kim Jin-tae, who was lifted into the air, threw a bitter smile at Kang In-ho.

‘Where are you pretending to be so nice? It was as if he was saying, ‘Is this you?’

Kim Jin-tae is confident that he knows Kang In-ho well.

Now that you’ve scratched his insides, will the fist come flying at your face, or your stomach?

But even after waiting for a while, there was no shock.

The person who lifted him up by his collar closed his eyes tightly and seemed to be holding back something.

“Please… be quiet. Because I’m out of my mind right now.”

Then he steps back and lets go.

As my neck gained freedom, my breathing returned to its normal state.

Kim Jin-tae touched his neck and looked at Kang In-ho.

A situation ensued where both people thought each other was strange.

It was Inho who took action first.

He sat down on the bench again and wiggled his hands.

Because his intentions were unknown, Jintae silently observed Inho’s actions.

“Sit down.”

A tired voice followed.

Jintae thought about stretching out for a moment, but after hearing Inho’s words, he silently sat down on the bench.

A situation where we face each other.

Kang In-ho lowered his head to the ground and let out a long sigh.

Take a few deep breaths like that.

Stretch by stretching your body.

A few minutes of such strange behavior.

Kang In-ho looked at Kim Jin-tae with a slightly better look than before.

“Keep talking.”

Ready to listen.

Kang In-ho said.

***

Kang In-ho, who returned home, looked very exhausted.

Not only did I climb the hill with an unhealthy body, but I also suffered internal injuries while listening to Jintae tell me about the stupid things that the body’s original owner did.

“Did the teacher call this a heart demon?”

He never thought he would experience something in modern times that he had never experienced while training in the martial arts world.

After taking off his clothes and throwing them in the washing machine, he washed himself briefly and lay down on the bed.

The neatly colored ceiling caught his eye.

“…….”

He habitually picked up his cell phone.

And I re-read the conversation I had with Shin Jeong-ah.

It was a conversation I read several times after being possessed, about understanding the relationships around me.

However, information about the beginning of a relationship with Shin Jeong-ah could not be found in this chat room.

“Why are there such cases?”

The word ‘karma’ came to mind first. Of course, it is difficult to call it karma because it is not the karma that you have accumulated.

I feel like I borrowed money from someone else and suddenly took on a debt.

“Mr. Ao….”

A curse lingered on the tip of his tongue.

I felt bloated, as if I had overeaten.

Although he didn’t want to, this is what he found out.

Shin Jeong-ah was a student who played alone in the classroom.

One day, I caught the eye of Kang In-ho and we started playing together.

I gradually adapted to the group, and my personality became brighter.

It’s said that she fit into the group because she likes it, but in short, it was her body’s original owner who ruined her.

[I’m also disgusted because I feel like I’m pretending to be nice… But please do me a favor.]

Kim Jin-tae made a request after In-ho left after receiving the general information.

“There has never been a case this complicated.”

The most I could do was get involved with an internet broadcast BJ, but suddenly I was presented with a problem of such hardcore difficulty that I felt like my brain was burning so hot.

Kang In-ho struggled in bed for a while.

“…Responsibility? How?”

Should I at least wash my past by transferring schools? Or should I just make him sit next to me and study?

A vain solution came to mind and then disappeared like a bubble.

“Ah… how can I really do this?”

Kang In-ho looked confused as he swept the screen of his cell phone with his thumb.

His finger lingered on Shin Jeong-ah’s profile photo, which had nothing hanging on it, for a long time.
