It’s been quite a while since the meteor left the tree cave. Anxiety began to bloom in Kara and Seris’ hearts.

“Sister, do you know what happened to Yoosung?”

“No, it’ll be okay. He’ll be back soon.”

However, contrary to what Seris said, no matter how long we waited, there was no sign of the meteor coming.

‘What do we do…’

Seris wondered what to do.

If I think about it calmly, I should have given up on Yoosung and run away with Kara…

“Kara, I will go look for Yoosung. you wait here If you don’t come no matter how long I wait, go to Bahran first.”

Cerise said as she left the tree cave. Kara came out after Seris, holding a wooden sword.

“I’m going too.”

“Kara!”

“I abandoned the village to live. But are you telling me to leave my sister and brother and go alone? Do you think that’s possible?”

Kara’s eyes were even more serious. If that happens, no matter what you say, they won’t listen. Cerise gave up trying to stop her.

‘I feel sorry for Yoosung, but I have no choice but to shorten the search time…’

I couldn’t help it. Because Seris’ number one priority was Kara.

“Mr. Yoosung.”

“Oppa~”

Seris and Kara walked around the tree cave and looked for a shooting star.

It was a little dangerous to make noise, but it seemed like it would be hard to find if I didn’t do it this way. I guess it’s okay because I sang it softly.

“Huh? Sister, can you hear me?”

“Can you hear me?”

“Someone calls you by your name.”

By any chance, Yoosung? Seris focused her attention on her ears. Then, as Kara said, she heard a voice calling her.

however…

“Rian Oppa? Isn’t this Rian oppa’s voice?”

“…I see.”

The owner of the voice was Ryan. Cerys had a shocked expression. Why does the Yooseong I’m looking for not appear and Rian appears?

Kara raised her voice to call out to Lian.

“Rian oppa! It’s here!”

“Kara? Is it Kara?”

“Yes, it’s me! My sister is with me too! Come to the place where you can hear my voice!”

“I understand. Just wait a moment!”

After a while, Lian, following Kara’s voice, appeared. He looked at Seris and his expression brightened.

“Ceris is safe! Thank goodness.”

“Yes, Mr. Lian, you’re safe too… I’m not sure you’re safe. Are you okay?”

“Ugh… Oppa Rian, doesn’t it hurt?”

There were many residual wounds on Lian’s body. He looked around his body and laughed heartily.

“Haha, what can I do with this much? not a big deal. But why are you here?”

Before Seris could think of an appropriate answer, Kara answered first.

“I decided to go to the city. Me, my sister, and Yoosung oppa.”

“City…?”

Lian’s face frowned for a moment at the words city and shooting star. He immediately composed his expression.

“Really? But what about Han Yu-seong? Can’t you see it?”

“Ah, that’s right. Oppa Rian, help me find Oppa Yoosung.”

“Kara, what are you talking about!”

“What’s wrong, sister? You can find it easier if Lian helps you.”

“That’s…”

It was just as Kara said. Seris was reluctant to accept Lian’s help, but now was not the time to discuss such matters.

“…You’re right. Lian, if it’s okay with you, could you help us?”

“You want me to find Han Yu-seong? First, explain what happened.”

Seris explained what had happened so far. From escaping the village at night to hiding in a tree cave.

“Rian, can you help me?”

“No.”

“Oppa…”

“I understand. Take care, Lian. Kara, let’s go over there.”

Kara seemed disappointed, but Seris wasn’t. Although it was a little disappointing, I felt relieved knowing that I wouldn’t have to see Rian.

Seris and Kara tried to find the shooting star again. Lian grabbed her arm.

“…Mr. Lian?”

“You said you were going to the city? Let’s go together.”

“So are you helping me?”

“No. You are giving up on finding Han Yu-seong.”

“…Yes?”

Seris didn’t understand the question and answer just now. Who is Rian that tells her to give up?

“Rian, I told you to give up looking for Yoosung. What does that mean?”

“It’s literally like that. Let’s give up on him and go to the city by ourselves. How many times have I been to Bahran? I will guide you.”

“What nonsense…!”

“Kara.”

As Kara’s cries grew louder, Seris calmed her down. Seris tried to take Lian’s arm away, but Lian wouldn’t let go. Her eyebrows frowned a little.

“Rian, I understand that you are not helping us. But Mr. Lian cannot decide our actions. So, can you please let me go?”

“Seris, I don’t understand.”

“What is it?”

“Why are you trying to find Han Yu-seong? It’s only been a week since he came to town.”

“What does that have to do with Lian? Rather than that, would you please let go of this?”

Cerise pointed to the caught arm. Ryan didn’t even pretend to notice.

“No, listen. You said he went to look around, but it turns out he may have run away alone.”

“No, Yoosung oppa can’t do that.”

“That can’t be possible? Why?”

“Because Yoosung oppa is kind and caring.”

Kara once told Yoosung about her dreams and aspirations. Yoosung listened to her story seriously and supported her. It was a reaction contrary to other people who snorted or laughed.

“Can you judge that in just one week? He may be different on the outside and the inside.”

“Let go of this.”

“Yes, something opens up when I think that the outside and the inside are different. Why would he come to our village after living well in the city? Isn’t there a reason why you can’t live in the city?”

“I told you to let it go?”

“What is the reason? I think like this. This guy is a criminal. Because I committed a sin, I couldn’t live in the city, so…”

“Let go!!”

Seris roughly shook off Lian’s arm. Lian and Kara were dumbfounded by her rough behavior, seeing her for the first time.

“Rian! We don’t have time for you anymore. So just go on your way! Let’s go Kara.”

“Uh, yes.”

Kara looked back at Lian and followed Seris.

Lian looked at Seris’s back blankly, then hurriedly ran over and grabbed her arm again. Cerise’s pretty face distorted.

“Put this down…”

Before Cerys could shake it off, Lian let go of her arm. Thanks to this, her arms hit the air.

“Let’s talk about Seris.”

Seris sighed when Rian asked her to talk. Now is not the time for this. I kept getting annoyed at the waste of time.

“Whoa… what is it?”

“Why do you hate me so much?”

“…What?”

“That’s right. I tried to visit you every day, talk to you, and even schedule a date. But you always treated me coldly.”

“No…”

“Don’t say no. I know. Your expression is different when you talk to me and when you talk to Han Yoosung. So tell me. Why do you hate me so much?”

“…”

Seris habitually tries to say, ‘No. I don’t like it. ‘You’re misunderstanding.’ I swallowed it.

Normally, I would have comforted Rian by saying that, but is it necessary now?

Why?

This isn’t a village, and Lian is someone I won’t have anything to do with in the future.

Seris, there was no reason for her to endure any longer.

“Yes, I hate Lian.”

“Don’t say no… What..?”

Lian looked at Seris with an expression of disbelief. Whether he did it or not, Cerise continued.

“You asked why I don’t like it? Then, let me ask you just one question. Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

“Huh..?”

“You really don’t know? When I was young, not long after my mother and father passed away, they made fun of me because I had no parents?”

It was a difficult time for me after losing my parents. Lian and the gang mistreated Seris throughout her work, teasing her about being a parentless bitch and saying she smelled.

“You apologized for that! I hit you a lot too.”

“Yes. I hit him. But you know what? I got slapped by the village chief for hitting you. After that, the villagers stopped giving us any work for a while. Thanks to you, I was able to eat grass on the mountain for ten days!”

I was really sad at that time. To the point where I thought about following my parents. That might have been the case if it weren’t for Kara.

“If something like that had happened, you should have told me!”

“Why me?”

“What?”

“Why am I telling you that? Why?”

“If you had told me, I would have done something…”

“Anyway? What can you do? Can you bring my dead parents back to life? Or can you give me a job? That’s not true. Nothing will change if I tell you.”

“Okay then!”

Ryan screamed. He said while glaring at Seris.

“Han Yu-seong Is that guy different? If I tell that guy, will anything change? Does it make a difference?”

“It doesn’t change. But Yoosung understands how I feel and tries to comfort me. Unlike those of you who only try to take advantage of me.”

“I might try to take advantage of you too…”

“My body is my purpose. You.”

Lian opened his eyes wide and looked at Seris. Seris had an expression that made it difficult to tell whether she was crying or laughing.

“Did you think I didn’t know? With eyes like that?”

“No. I don’t like that…”

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Please don’t appear in front of me again.”

“Where are you going!”

Lian caught Seris again as she was about to leave. Ceris couldn’t take it anymore and was about to get angry…

“Hey, you bad guy!”

Kara kicked Rihanna. Even though Lian was big, the attack was unexpected, and Kara also worked out a lot, so she fell to the floor.

“Don’t touch my sister!”

“Kara…”

“Sister, let’s go. Wow, I didn’t know he was that kind of guy.”

Kara moved with Seris. I wanted to hit Rian more, but I didn’t have time. I had to find the shooting star quickly.

“These bastards…”

Lian, who had fallen to the floor, picked up a stone. He threw it straight at the two. thud! Kara fell down with a dull sound. It was because he was hit on the head by a stone thrown by Ryan.

“Kara!”

Seris shook Kara, who had fallen down in awe.

“Kara, Kara! Are you okay?!”

“Ugh… Oh, it’s okay… But the back of my head hurts so much…”

“Kara… Lian, are you crazy?!”

“I was so good to you. what? Is Han Yu-seong better? Holy shit!”

Before we knew it, Rian was within close range and lifted the jjangdol. Seris wrapped Kara around her. I gritted my teeth in fear of the coming shock.

But this time, Lian’s moans were heard along with a dull sound. Cerise raised her head. Ryan was holding his bleeding head.

“What kind of bastard! Throwing a stone!”

Ryan shouted. Seris turned her head to where Lian’s gaze was directed.

“Shut up.”

There was a familiar face. Cerise’s face brightened.

“Yuseong!”

It was the shooting star they had been looking for.
