Kang Si-woo was always full of leisure.

No, to put it accurately, I had no choice but to be overflowing with leisure.

In a way, it was natural after going through hell for 10 years.

That’s why no matter what happens, you never lose your smile and composure.

But Kang Si-woo has lost his composure.

In fact, there was only one issue that caused someone to leave the intact door and hurriedly climb up to the window.

Noh Chang-hoon felt a strange feeling and opened his mouth to confirm whether what he thought was correct.

“Are you thinking of going to Seoul?”

“Thanks to you, the story will be faster. Yes, that’s right.”

“What about pearls?”

Kang Si-woo avoided his eyes instead of answering.

It was obvious without even looking at what that meant.

Okay, I guess that means we put the pearls aside and came this far.

After thinking that, Noh Chang-hoon sat down and took out a new ballpoint pen and paper.

I’m thinking of hitting him too. I had no intention of taking any action.

No matter what happened, he also wanted to go to Seoul.

Yes, anyway, I could handle trivial things like pearls a little later.

The important thing is that both he and I want to go to Seoul.

For now, all I had to do was come up with a suitable strategy for that.

So Noh Chang-hoon asked Kang Si-woo a question for reference in the operation.

“You rode your bike all the way here, right? Is it in good condition?”

“I had a puncture in the middle, so I abandoned it and ran all the way here.”

“If you look closely, you too, have a lot of eccentricities like Lee Ye-ji.”

“I hear it as a compliment. Do you have transportation ready for Noh Chang-hoon?”

“I haven’t written anything recently, but it could probably roll all the way to Seoul.”

“That’s good.”

“I’ll look for yours as well, so this is the end of transportation for now…”

Noh Chang-hoon thought while twirling his ballpoint pen.

Right now I’m planning my strategy as if I’m going out for a quick walk, but this was definitely a dispatch.

Also, since I was going from Busan to Seoul, I shouldn’t take it lightly.

How much manpower should be invested?

How much material should I bring?

Which route should I use and how should I enter?

This wasn’t a game or something convenient, it was reality.

Of course, one failure is equivalent to death.

So, Noh Chang-hoon thought about it, as was his habit, and realized one thing.

“Kang Si-woo. You and I are planning to go alone, right?”

“Is there really a need to bring more people?”

“Nothing. If it’s about rescuing Yeji Lee, the two of us are enough.”

Noh Chang-hoon rolled his ballpoint pen and quickly came up with a plan.

Since we had too much force anyway, there was no need for more people.

If two people were moving, there was no need to bring a lot of supplies.

Anyway, the only way to go to Seoul is to help Yeji Lee.

She is so tired that all she needs is the bare minimum amount of food to eat.

Noh Chang-hoon, who had decided to that point, spoke.

“2 days and 1 night to 3 days and 2 nights. You can finish it neatly in that, right?”

“Of course. And while I’m moving, I want to deal with nearby zombies as well.”

“Are you thinking of putting a radio on your bike?”

“If necessary, you should do so.”

“Good. If you do that, it will end pretty neatly.”

Noh Chang-hoon held up the paper on which he had written the contents so far.

As it was a hastily planned operation, he could not deny that the content was poor.

But since the basic framework was established, that didn’t really matter.

He finally corrected his eyesight a little and then opened his mouth.

“You can persuade Hyeonrimgwan. Because I will handle the military base.”

“Good. While I’m at it, I’d also like to ask you to prepare for departure.”

“Can I leave right away without resting?”

“Do you think you’ll get tired of just doing that?”

“That’s also true.”

“Because I ate lunch in Busan. Let’s have dinner in Seoul.”

After saying that, Kang Si-woo opened the window again and jumped out.

Does this mean that even going down the stairs is a waste of time?

Noh Chang-hoon thought for a moment to find out the reason, but then gave up.

Because of Lee Ye-ji, I knew better than finding a reason in travel.

So he gave up on the idea and headed to the building where the communications unit was located to contact the military base.

How much time has passed?

Noh Chang-hoon finished the communication and walked out of the building, grumbling.

As expected, the military did not want him to be away.

But he also had no intention of agreeing lightly.

There was shouting.

They tried to ignore the other side by presenting completely contradictory logic.

However, in the end, it was Noh Chang-hoon who won, not the military unit.

Kang Si-woo says he’s going too, but I can’t let him go alone.

I’m dying of anxiety for sending my wife there alone, so how can you stop me?

The military unit, unable to refute these two claims, had no choice but to let him go.

In the process, the complexions of the signal soldiers turned pale, but that was a minor side effect.

Noh Chang-hoon went out of the building, encouraging the still shaking signal soldiers.

Since I happened to be at the communications unit, I must have also conveyed orders to others to prepare.

Now all that was left was to pack my personal belongings and prepare for departure.

So, as he headed to the faculty dormitory to pack his bags, he muttered absently.

“…Is there anything I need to take care of?”

As I said, there was nothing to take care of personally.

No, it wasn’t that there was nothing to take care of.

However, there was no question as to whether it was necessary to carry it from Busan to Seoul.

But that didn’t mean there was no need to go at all.

After sighing for a moment, Noh Chang-hoon headed back to the faculty dormitory.

Although he had no personal baggage to take care of, he had a lot of personal baggage to give to Yeji Lee.

Of course, there was no need to take it with me and go to Seoul.

Yeji Lee seemed thoughtless, but she had a personality that surprisingly got hurt a lot.

It wasn’t a bad idea to bring supplies to help with such a precarious mental state.

Starting with the headset, which I probably lost while fighting, various other things.

While Noh Chang-hoon was packing his luggage, he realized one thing and clicked his tongue.

It’s not like I’m preparing for a date.

There were too many unnecessary things that I packed in the name of doing it for Yeji Lee.

He slowly put aside unnecessary items and took only a few simple items.

Still, just as I was about to grab another headset just in case, I heard Kang Si-woo’s voice.

“You are extremely sincere.”

“…What.”

After responding like that, Noh Chang-hoon stood up holding his headset.

I didn’t do anything wrong, but for some reason I feel like I did something wrong.

Kang Si-woo looked at Noh Chang-hoon who awkwardly stood up for a moment and then tried to suppress his laughter.

I wanted to tease him a little more, but pranks are not allowed in this situation.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t just watch it continue to act like it’s stuck.

So, maybe I can give you some advice just this once.

Kang Si-woo, who thought so, passed along some advice to Noh Chang-hoon.

“I thought it would be better to express it a little more honestly.”

“I don’t think it’s something you should interfere with.”

“That’s right. Well, we’re all ready to leave… Do we need a little more time?”

“No, that’s enough. Let’s go.”

“Good!”

Soon, composure returned to Kang Si-woo’s face.

Noh Chang-hoon thought about the reason for a while and decided to just ask him directly.

He feels resentful that he cannot read the emotions of the main character he created, but it has already been a long time since this work left his hands.

“Do you think things went well? The face is full of composure.”

“Well, that’s how it happened. Because I was able to move according to my intuition.”

“Because the people at Hyeonrimgwan are dumbfounded by your words. It must have been easy to handle.”

“Changhoon also had a hard time persuading people there. Just looking at it, it probably didn’t go well, right?”

“Somehow it was resolved because I yelled at him.”

“Like that.”

Noh Chang-hoon was slowly leaving the building but stopped.

Just now. Was Kang Si-woo’s expression truly relaxed that you saw a moment ago?

It was strange that I was too relaxed to say I was relaxed.

Anyone else would have brushed it off as not a big deal, but not him.

Even if it was already out of his hands, he was the author who built this world.

If I couldn’t notice these strange things, I didn’t deserve to be called a writer.

At the point when he realized that, Noh Chang-hoon turned his body again and stared at Kang Si-woo.

calmly settled down.

Ambiguous eyes that can be said to have space or not.

Even though it seems like he will try his best, he even has a contradictory attitude as if he just let it happen and let it happen.

Noh Chang-hoon stripped it all down with a similar feeling as when he was writing for the first time in a long time.

The layers of emotions and settings were separated by a thin membrane and spread out before him.

He skillfully reviewed the facts slowly and pondered them.

What meaning does the facial expression of one’s creation have?

What were you thinking to make that expression in front of yourself?

Just like when he was drinking warm cocoa and thinking about future developments, Noh Chang-hoon thought about it and found the answer.

He bitterly savored what he had discovered and closed the door to his dorm.

It seemed like going to rescue Yeji Lee would be postponed until a little later.
