episode_0311
by fnovelpiaMy mind is hazy. My reason is clouded and my body and mind are depressed.
Apart from feeling lethargic, it is not a pleasant state.
Because I can’t face reality, I’m just lying on the floor in a daze as if I’ve eaten something.
It’s like being stuck in a swamp. On the outside, you feel comfortable, but in reality, you’re stuck in a sloppy swamp, unable to move, and just quietly dying.
At some point, I suddenly get scared that I might fall so deep that I won’t be able to get out on my own.
[happiness]
[ease]
[?]
“쭙쭙… ”
It wasn’t all that awkward now, because I was confident that I could shake it off.
If I were alone, I would have just given up and died, but now I absolutely did not want to die.
I just woke up, but my mouth wasn’t dry.
I muttered and buried my head in the arm of the other person who was supporting my head.
Yeonhwa’s arms are clearly swaying with warm body temperature.
“Koo… ”
Yeonhwa was still in dreamland. Her colorful, swelling chest was pressing against her nose.
In addition, there were many other traces of flesh left behind. There were red, burnt marks, and small bite marks.
[Sorry]
[Humble]
…
[Satisfaction]
… Come to think of it, I have a few of them on my body too, so I guess they’re all the same. Of course, I have a lot more tattooed on me… Anyway.
It was a bit disappointing that Yeonhwa’s eyes were closed and her pretty eyes could not be seen.
But it was not something that could wake up someone who was sleeping soundly. He quietly put his arm around Yeonhwa’s and closed his eyes.
I felt a drowsiness and comfort right after waking up, and a heavy, warm feeling filling my chest.
– Chirp!
“쭙쭙?”
It was then that I heard the chirping of birds. It was a sound I often heard in the morning. Of course, it was late lunch time rather than morning…
‘Why is it so high?’
I blinked. This was Yeonhwa’s former dormitory, the penthouse at the top of that tall building.
I wonder why those sparrows, which are like rice cakes, come up here and chirp.
– Slurp
“… Is it stuck to your chest since morning? Oh… No? Didn’t it ever fall off in the first place?”
It was then that the hand that was supporting my head moved and hugged me tightly. I wasn’t surprised, but smiled bashfully and snuggled into his arms.
“Yeonhwa, are you awake?”
“Ugh. I slept well… Hehehe.”
Yeonhwa smiled at my greeting and hugged me closer.
Even though I was sleepy and secretly relieved by the bright laughter, I patted Yeonhwa on the back just in case.
“Does anything hurt?”
Until yesterday, I had absolutely no experience, but while searching the Internet, I couldn’t help but come across an experience story.
Even during the union, and even after waking up after union, many people said that their bodies felt tingly.
“No, it’s completely fine.”
Fortunately, Yeonhwa said there was no problem. I blinked as I felt her fingers tapping my lower back.
I looked closely, wondering if it was just empty words to reassure me, but there really didn’t seem to be anything wrong with his body.
No, rather, it looked better than yesterday.
“Haa… What should I say? It’s a bit different from what I heard. It doesn’t hurt, it just feels good… ”
Yeonhwa also seemed to have had similar thoughts, and she asked curiously. At the same time, her cheeks turned bright red and she smiled bashfully.
“… big.”
But at some point, her voice became quieter and her cheeks turned red like apples. Reading the emotions flashing across Yeonhwa’s face, I smiled.
“Kick.”
“Why are you laughing.”
“Hehehe.”
I could guess which memory Yeonhwa was recalling.
It was a different sound from the usual confident and cool Yeonhwa. Even I, who was maintaining a hazy consciousness, was inwardly startled by the sound.
It would be polite to bury such embarrassing memories together, but I couldn’t forget Yeonhwa teasing me by teasing me yesterday.
I giggled, not hiding the corners of my lips that went up.
“Clumsy.”
“… … ”
– Damn it!
A crack appeared on Yeonhwa’s face when she heard my teasing. The emotions seeping out through that gap were quite chaotic.
.
.
.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but fortunately, nothing has changed.”
I left the dorm and looked for a nearby restaurant. I nodded as I sat across from Yeonhwa, who was casually browsing the store.
As Yeonhwa said, it was the first time in a long time that she had visited the store. It was also a place that held some memories.
[Table 12, menu arrived]
[2 Pork Sets]
There are many dishes on the table. Among them, the most appetizing ones are the bright red stir-fried pork and soft tofu stew.
“I ate really well back then… Do you remember, Ha-Yul?”
“Yes, how could I forget.”
It’s the restaurant that Yeonhwa and I visited when the first semester had just started.
Yeonhwa smiled as if recalling vivid memories of that time, and nodded with a strange expression in response to his question.
My first meal with Yeonhwa was a happy memory, but for me at the time, it wasn’t a pleasant experience.
At that time, I thought to myself that I was like a time bomb.
I don’t think I’m very healthy right now, but I still have a reason to live.
At the time, there was no particular reason to do so. At most, it was a rebellion against my dead parents.
I was in a state of mind where I couldn’t help but accept why the tower owners treated me like a puffer fish and created various facilities and systems.
“Hoo… Hoo… ”
Yeonhwa, who had poured a generous amount of bright red broth into her spoon, cooled the broth.
“Okay, ah~”
“… … ”
Soon, a spoon filled with warmth was thrust out. As I quietly kept my mouth shut, Yeonhwa, who had been smiling warmly, tilted her head.
“Why, does it hurt after a while?”
“No, I was just thinking about something else.”
“Really? You’re not lying, are you?”
“It’s true… ”
I put away the embarrassed expression that appeared on my face and opened my lips. Immediately afterwards, a warm liquid entered my mouth.
… It’s just warm. It looks nice, but it doesn’t really taste good… To me, it’s like a food from a painting.
I picked up the pork with a strange expression. The chewy texture of the meat was chewy. It was tasteless, but now I’m getting used to it.
I’m dissatisfied now.
I rolled my eyes as I stirred the soft tofu stew with a spoon.
After giving me a few bites, Yeonhwa is starting to feel hungry and is inhaling the pork and stew diligently…
‘…Why are you eating so deliciously? Is this really that delicious? It’s better than the pork I usually serve as a side dish… No, this isn’t it.’
He suppressed the sharp feeling that suddenly rose up and glanced at Yeonhwa with a strange gaze.
To be exact, the curves of Yeonhwa’s chest are visible even through her clothes.
[… … ]
I looked away and gently stroked my stomach with my right hand. Maybe it was because I swallowed all night, but my stomach still felt warm.
The aftertaste of yesterday still lingers in my mouth. The sweet and savory taste that still mingles on my tongue is proof of that.
… I ate this. I put the most delicious thing in my mouth after fasting for almost a year.
But now you want me to come and chew on that picture of a rice cake that only looks good?
It is often said that human greed is endless, right?
When standing, you want to sit, and when sitting, you want to lie down, you like being in bed better than on the floor, and you want to be under a warm blanket rather than in the cold.
I was like that too. When there was no other way, I just gave up and ate it, but now it was hard to just let it go…
“Oh my? Aren’t you cadets?”
It was around the time when I was slicing the poor pork with a complicated mind.
The store owner, who was coming out of the kitchen holding a mop in one hand, looked this way and opened his eyes wide.
“And you’re both famous! By the way, why are you here at this hour?”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
Yeonhwa, who had swallowed the food in her mouth, tilted her head. The restaurant owner couldn’t hide his wide eyes and became excited.
“The closing ceremony is about to start, right? Don’t all the cadets have to participate?”
“Huh?”
[?]
At the same time, the chopsticks stopped moving. Yeonhwa and I, who were blinking absentmindedly, stared at each other.
Yeonhwa quickly tapped her smartwatch. The smartwatch with the locked padlock symbol on it turned on, and the alarm rang loudly.
… I also turned on observation, which I had turned off except for threat detection, because it was interfering with my work.
A lot of information rushed into my head.
The main auditorium where the closing ceremony will be held.
The Vice President was observed scanning the empty seats with a puzzled expression.
And some sullen, expressionless, and bewildered faces were also observed.
[ah]
.
.
.
Luckily, Yeonhwa and I were able to take our seats just before the closing ceremony started.
A special admission student and a first-year student who ranked second almost missed the closing ceremony at the same time.
I think I should go see the restaurant owner later and thank her.
“Hey~ Your skin is so shiny, ma’am? Huh?”
“This one is also quite white… No, I’m not joking, it’s really white, right?”
After landing at the entrance with a space jump and rushing in, countless gazes were fixed on me.
As soon as she sat down, gazes from around her, even more intense than before, poked at Yeonhwa.
“Yoyo, what have you been doing all day without answering my phone? I sent you forty texts.”
[silence]
“You must have really forgotten because you’re so late? You even stared at the closing ceremony, you bad student.”
It wasn’t an illusion, but a physical finger was poking my cheek. It was Baek A-rin’s attack, who was sitting next to me and giggling… and the inside of her mask felt cold.
“Yeonhwa, did you pass it on?”
“Huh, uh… uh? What do you mean, pass it on?”
“Hey, let’s not pretend not to know each other. That’s right, I─”
“Oh my… !”
Yeonhwa was also attacked. She covered Elia’s mouth with her hand in a panic so that no one around her could hear her.
I rolled my eyes and whined at Baek A-rin’s bullying.
The gazes of two adults staring at me from a distance through the thick fog were also harsh.
Although it was not visible to the naked eye, I could feel Lee Ji-yeon’s gaze, which was somewhat restless and complicated.
At that, I kept my mouth shut and calmly held my face.
“The closing ceremony marks the end of this year’s festival. Although there will be fireworks that night, this is the last official event on the calendar.”
The closing ceremony of the birth festival was not as extravagant as the opening ceremony. The procedure was shorter and the atmosphere was relaxed, immersed in the afterglow of the festival.
‘Now I have to finish preparing everything.’
Observing the Vice President conducting the closing ceremony on stage.
I also rolled my head while enduring Baek A-rin’s pranks of secretly wiggling my side without the camera’s knowledge.
The second semester ends with the graduation ceremony next week after the birth ceremony.
The upcoming vacation is expected to be very busy.
This side.
Because you have to constantly wander around a wide area to find the entrance.
If you don’t find it, you’ll just be wasting your time, but if you do, you’ll find it.
If it feels like it’s going to explode again at any moment.
You may have to put your head in the middle of a scary crisis.
I have confidence in my abilities and can handle ordinary tasks without a hitch, but the other side of it is not an ordinary task.
You must prepare thoroughly.
‘Ah, I should meet the unicorns before that.’
Unicorn… to be exact, there’s something to be said for the unicorn’s horn.
… There are embarrassing memories that are hard to recall even now, but I need to go and see them for work.
.
.
.
[What did you say?]
In response to my question, the researcher adjusted his glasses and smiled awkwardly.
“Unicorn… The unicorn’s nerves are sensitive. There is a risk of an accident, so it is temporarily closed.”
Why at this time of all times?
