Chapter Index

    Shin Yu-jeong knelt in front of me.

    “Sorry.”

    Plus a sincere apology.

    Normally, I would say ‘Mi…’ , you crazy guy! I should have stopped the drift by saying, ‘You did it wrong!’

    After collecting the key words of what he said today, I understand the current situation.

    The improvement and conclusion of relationships she spoke of.

    It means that you want to definitely fix a relationship that was broken and twisted from the beginning.

    I asked the guy.

    “Why are you so sorry?”

    “… What I hated about you in high school. “It’s because of me that guys like Kim Jeong-hoon got bullied.”

    It’s just as he said.

    Shin Yu-jeong is me… No, I hated the original owner of this body.

    A lot of that too.

    If you ask me if that’s why I harassed you… , well.

    That part may seem a bit ambiguous.

    “So every time I see you, I act harsh and glare at you, showing my displeasure.”

    Most of the things Shin Yu-jeong did to this body were things like that.

    Should I say that I expressed the feeling of rejection that arises when I see someone I dislike?

    The issue here is whether such behavior falls into the category of harassment or not.

    “surely… , I did make a mistake back then.”

    From a third party’s point of view, Shin Yu-jeong’s actions at the time were wrong.

    No matter how much you hate someone.

    You can’t glare at them just because you bump into them in the hallway, click your tongue and say you don’t like them, and swear at them by telling them to stop talking and get the hell out of your face, right?

    “huh… , It’s my fault.”

    Shin Yu-jeong gently shakes her head and lowers her head.

    The sincerity that I do not want to be hated is radiating from my whole body.

    Should I say that he regrets his mistake after seeing this, or should I say that he is like this because he wants to be loved more by me?

    It doesn’t really matter one way or the other as I haven’t experienced it myself… .

    “Then tell me.”

    I didn’t want to just accept the apology lightly.

    To be precise, I want to correct some of his chronic habits.

    “What did you do back then and what did you do now?”

    Shin Yu-jeong’s shortcomings have continued from then until now.

    If you understand this clearly… , at least I will be able to stand at the starting line.

    “my… , the fault.”

    Numerous emotions come and go in the face of worry.

    Worry, anxiety, nervousness, etc.

    It seems he instinctively recognized that what he was saying was more important than anything else.

    “… … .”

    I kept my mouth shut and waited with a calm mind as she continued to think.

    The time to reflect on one’s self is inevitably long.

    Because humans are basically made to be more generous to themselves than to others.

    After enough time had passed, the guy began to speak out with his trembling lips.

    “… You behaved so rudely. “My attitude changes drastically depending on my mood.”

    Each time the trembling voice reveals the correct answers one by one, the corners of the mouth rise.

    He asked in a blunt voice, trying hard to erase his smile.

    “so?”

    “I know that others may get hurt because of my attitude… , turned away.”

    Look at this guy.

    “Is it true that you turned away? “You didn’t know?”

    “Uh, I turned away.”

    These are Shin Yu-jeong’s strengths and weaknesses.

    “Ignoring it is worse than not knowing… , you know that, right?”

    “… know.”

    Even if the child is honest, he is too honest.

    In times like this, you can just say that you didn’t know much about it, but you honestly confess that you had some guess but ignored it.

    In terms of self-reflection, this honesty is truly the best advantage, but there is nothing more scary if this honesty is revealed as an attitude toward someone you dislike.

    This part revealed the desperation he was feeling right now.

    It probably means that I don’t have enough time to scratch the bottom and confess my mistakes.

    “Yoojeong.”

    Calling the guy’s name, I kneel down on one knee and make eye level with him.

    “… uh.”

    I ask while lightly placing my hand on her shoulder as she nods, looking in this direction as if she is possessed by something.

    “Do you know what the greatest apology a person can do is?”

    “mole… la.”

    The greatest apology from someone who has committed a mistake is not kneeling down and begging, nor is it sufficient compensation.

    “You just can’t see it right in front of you.”

    “… … .”

    Unnoticed by those who have done wrong.

    This does not simply mean that you should disappear from sight, but that you should not appear in their lives at all.

    Either with your eyes or your ears.

    To not remind them of the nightmarish memories of that time in any way.

    Wouldn’t that be the best apology?

    So you’re telling me to get out of front of Shin Yoo-jeong’s eyes?

    No.

    What can I say… , It’s just a kind of scare.

    Scouring someone with a carrot after whipping them is one of the time-honored and efficient methods of discipline, right?

    “But if I had wanted that from you, I wouldn’t have even brought up the threesome or anything.”

    A shallow hope blooms in one corner of the guy’s face, which is gradually becoming more and more despairing.

    “My desire to be with you is sincere.”

    In many ways, it is clear that Shin Yu-jeong is a woman who is difficult to miss.

    Not only does she have the potential for future growth as a hunter, but as a woman, I have to say that I am more attracted to her because she is a unique type that I have never seen before.

    “But if we act like we are now, we probably won’t last long.”

    If you really want to become a good hunter.

    And if she wants to be by my side, she must develop selflessness.

    It would be nice if we could get ahead with just a fierce competitive spirit, but this society is not that easy.

    Now that all dungeon raids are being done at the party level, harmony is the shortcut to getting ahead of others as a hunter.

    “I don’t tell everyone to be nice to me. “To be honest, I don’t want to do that either.”

    I don’t expect much.

    No, my sincere hope is that it won’t go that far.

    I’ve already realized that if I try to do something for everyone, my life will only become more difficult.

    “You have to be different, even if it’s only within a small boundary.”

    She asked, having doubts about my words.

    “How far does the small fence go… ?”

    “for now… , our party.”

    More people will be added one by one in the future, but let’s start there for now.

    The goal is to even tolerate mother-daughter rice bowls… ?

    It might be a bit of a rough road, but… , I think even that would not be impossible with my current attitude.

    “I’m not telling you to fix everything. but… , Don’t feel bad just because you don’t like it, and don’t show that bad feeling through your attitude.”

    What I want is to get better than now, not to fix it.

    Personally, I like Shin Yu-jeong’s wild horse-like temperament.

    However, I hope you will be wary of the sharp reactions you sometimes see towards others, including me.

    Like a wild horse that hasn’t been tamed by humans, but knows how to discern between interests and interests?

    Now that I say it, it’s really difficult, that’s it.

    “… “I’ll try.”

    After much thought, Shin Yu-jeong nods her head.

    There is a strong will on his face, as if he didn’t give an answer in vain.

    That’s enough.

    I don’t know about anything else, but he’s an outstanding child with a stubborn spirit, so he’ll do his best to change.

    “Let’s put an end to our past bad relationship then. “When you think that you have really changed, then you can move forward.”

    “that… “No, okay.”

    There is a slight expression of dissatisfaction on the face of the guy who is nodding his head.

    However, he seemed to realize that he was not in a position to say anything else and quickly closed his mouth.

    When I see the guy who would normally have rushed at me closing his mouth, I guess I’m already starting to get angry.

    “I have one question.”

    “What?”

    “me… “Is it okay for me to treat you like normal?”

    “Yes, of course.”

    I like him when he’s obedient like he is now, but he looks best when he’s a little arrogant.

    “Oh, one more thing.”

    The guy extends one finger and asks another question.

    “that… “Then, later on, our relationship will be like we’re dating, right?”

    Do you really want to be that kind of girlfriend?

    I can do that much, but… , because if you give a definite answer right away, it could be embarrassing.

    “First of all, I saw you doing it.”

    I choose to pull one more time.

    Then the guy pouted his lips.

    “… “Can I get up now?”

    “uh.”

    Only then did Shin Yoo-jeong stand up with her knees straight, glance at my face, and then ask carefully.

    “Can I ask you one favor?”

    “What.”

    “… Please point out anything I do wrong on a regular basis. “There may be actions that I overlook because I don’t know about them.”

    “Hmm, that’s not difficult… .”

    I had a good idea.

    “Then let’s do it this way.”

    “… how?”

    “I can punish you for the things I pointed out that you overlooked.”

    “punishment? “What punishment?”

    “I guess that varies from time to time, right?”

    As I grinned in response, the guy frowned.

    “… “You want me to do something so perverted again.”

    uh.

    How did know.

    I tried to point out his mistakes and make him do various things as punishment.

    “ha… , Ok, fine.”

    “Oh! really?”

    That’s surprising.

    I thought you would say no.

    “Anyway, what is it… “If you don’t get pointed out, you don’t get punished, right?”

    “That’s right.”

    But can you really not get criticized?

    I think I can find ten a day.

    “anyway… “I’ll try to fix it.”

    “Okay, cheer up.”

    When I clenched my fist at him, he smiled and turned his back.

    “I’m going down.”

    After that, the guy quickly went down the stairs and disappeared without even looking back.

    * * *

    My face feels hot.

    Doing things for the first time in my life is extremely unfamiliar and awkward.

    Even the intoxication that had filled me just a moment ago had completely disappeared.

    “Whoa… .”

    She sighed softly.

    I was starting to realize it little by little.

    If things don’t change, you’ll end up in trouble in many ways.

    However, I just didn’t feel like having to hide myself and fit in for others.

    But in the end, it was because of Kim Do-jin that I decided to fix it.

    ‘I hate being apart as much as dying.’

    Because it’s better to fix it than to die or to be distant from him.

    ‘It was altruism… .’

    In the end, it means thinking a little more about others.

    When you say something harsh or unpleasant, try to understand how the other person feels and exercise restraint.

    Since she has lived her life almost without going through the filtering process until now, it is expected that it will be a difficult process.

    Rattling!

    As I entered the house, pondering over and over again, I was immediately met with Seo Jeong-hee’s nagging.

    “Shin Yu-jeong! Where did you go without answering your mom’s call? Come now! If you’re late, you have to call and say you’re late. “Do you really need to see me burning inside Mom?”

    Shin Yu-jeong thought about the affectionate nagging.

    ‘What do I usually answer in times like this?’

    I don’t remember much because I said what came to mind at the time, but I think most of it was something along the lines of, ‘I’m an adult now, so what’s the big deal?’

    ‘… ‘It won’t work.’

    You shouldn’t say that to a mother who was worried about her daughter being late without even calling.

    “that… , sorry. “If I think I’ll be late, I’ll call you in advance.”

    “Eck.”

    Suddenly, Seo Jeong-hee’s expression became strangely distorted.

    “My daughter obediently apologized… ? Oh, that’s ridiculous.”

    Shin Yu-jeong looked at her mother’s face with her eyes, nose, and mouth wide open, as if she was greatly shocked, and quietly lowered her head.

    ‘I guess I lived wrong.’

    Another reflection followed.
