49 – Three-way meeting with girlfriends (?)

***

Inside the drawing room of Geombaekryung Clan.

“How shameless.”

A woman stares at a man with a cold expression.

It was a low pitched voice, but it was chilly like a cold wave in the north.

The woman sits cross-legged with her white clothes resting roughly on her shoulders.

With an awe-inspiring attitude, she lifts the cup once and sips the tea, then she picks it up and smiles.

“Does she come only when she is sad?”

Her hair, reminiscent of her ashen, hung down and down, and her red eyes gleamed in a playful way. Red eyes peered into the man’s face. The man met his gaze.

The woman put her tea on her table.

She slipped on her pods and laid her body leisurely on the back of her chair.

“Why me? Should I help you?”

I think he was in his mid-to-late twenties.

The freshness of the past is gone.

From noble mtl dot com

He oozes maturity befitting his age.

In the past, she was the one who followed her man around with a smile on her face, but as if she had thrown her old memories into her gutter, her womanly attitude was sharp throughout.

The emotions in her eyes as she looked at her man were contempt, resentment, and contempt.

“Is that why you called me?”

Ha ha, the gray woman sighed and shook her head.

“Tsk. I just wasted my time.”

The woman clicked her tongue as she slowly ran her hair through her gray hair.

“Hey.”

Linda chanted with the corner of her eyes raised all the way up.

“Did you think I would come running when you called me like before?”

“… ….”

“If you say one word, do you look like the kid you liked like an idiot?”

“… ….”

The woman’s eyes were as sharp as a blade that had just been forged, cutting through her skin. I could no longer look at the eyes filled with resentment and hatred. As I slightly averted her gaze, she tutted, and she clicked her tongue again.

“…… When you leave me What now?”

The woman spat out her words very quietly, as if talking to herself, and then jumped up from her seat.

“All right. I’ll wake up first, so you don’t come back to me for something else like this.”

After glancing at the man once, she slowly took her steps.

She walked toward the outside of the drawing room.

Tumble. The sound of footsteps spread quietly.

Her hand reached the parlor doorknob.

The man hurriedly put his hand on her woman’s shoulder.

Now then.

“…… !”

The woman reacted sharply.

With an expressionless face, she grabbed the man’s arm and then threw her over violently.

The man fell off with a thump without even being able to get down.

Things like tea cups and plates on the table clattered! And broke

The cookie fell to the floor. Tables and chairs were scattered around. The man let out his groan once, and his go raised his head slightly.

I saw her shaking her body with her cold face.

“Don’t touch me carelessly.”

The man was speechless at her sharp words.

The moment we look at each other for a while like that.

With the sound of running, the parlor door slammed open.

“Clan leader! What’s wrong!”

“I just heard a strange noise…… “

“What did that man do? Ryuye…… “

They were Geombaekryung clan members.

I heard a loud noise coming from the parlor.

“Everything out.”

The moment they stare at the man and try to say something, a woman’s cold voice cuts off her words.

“Clan leader… ….”

“Get out of here.”

“Oh, yes.”

“I see.”

The woman had a dry expression on her face, but there was a hint of irritation in her voice.

The clan members were crushed by the woman’s spirit and had no choice but to leave the drawing room.

“Tsk. Noisy for nothing.”

They watched the woman’s eyes and then sneaked out.

In the drawing room again, there were only two people, a man and a woman.

The woman glanced down at the fallen man.

I could see clearly in my eyes the pathetic figure of a man lying down.

The woman looked down at the man for a moment and then pursed her lips.

“…… Really. It doesn’t make sense.”

“… ….”

At that voice, the man moved his head little by little and looked up at the woman’s face. The light from the ceiling light shone down on her face, making her face even darker. Her shadowy face softened slightly.

“You.”

The woman walked to the man’s closest distance before she knew it, and slowly crouched down and stared down at the man.

“Why do you want my help so much? Do you want to climb the tower like that?”

“… ….”

“If you attacked the tower…… Aren’t you believing in ridiculous superstitions?”

“… ….”

The woman made a ridiculous expression. She and she grabbed the man’s hair. With one hand, she holds his hair tight and pulls it hard. The woman’s face is right in front of her eyes. Her nose seems to touch.

“Is it because of her?”

After taking a breath, she asks again with a deep voice.

“Do you like that girl that much?”

Forcibly lift the man’s head and make eye contact.

The dull red eyes.

The man is reflected in those eyes.

“… ….”

“… ….”

In the middle of each other’s gaze.

The woman suddenly let out a deep sigh.

Instantly, I got up from my seat with the man’s head kicked and pushed.

“…… Whoa. Well, good okay.”

And then glanced down at the man.

“I ask for help that much…… It would be unreasonable to ignore it like this.”

The woman slightly raises the corners of her mouth.

“Yes, yes. I will help you.”

The corners of her mouth go up a bit.

“But keep in mind.”

Her red eyes shimmer terribly.

“I really hate you.”

The man nodded slowly.

The woman giggled and snorted.

Shake her hand.

“You said you could do anything, right? I’m about to roll it, so be prepared.”

Right before I grabbed the doorknob and left the living room, I looked back and said.

“Yeah, what. Anyway, welcome to my clan, sir. Then, I will torment you a little more in the future.”

She laughed once and went outside.

But only the tail of her mouth is raised.

Her eyes didn’t smile at all.

***

The image of Yerin in a dream that remains vaguely in my memory.

That look reminded me of Yerin’s future after leaving her halfway.

I didn’t know the exact reason, but Yerin was quite resentful of me. I asked Yerin for help.

If Yerin is thrown away now, will she become like Yerin in her dreams?

It was unknown.

‘Well, whether or not the contents of the dream are true, it would be quite dangerous to leave the current Yerin alone.’

Yerin has come to depend on me much more than before.

It’s pretty obvious what kind of reaction he’ll react to if he keeps a distance for her sake.

But if it had been before she dreamed, before she regained some of her memories, she probably would have kept rejecting Yerin.

Because I had no intention of taking responsibility for Yerin to the end.

Her heart was too heavy to approach Yerin with her light heart.

Obsession and dependence.

Since she was Yerin who looked at me with those two emotions, she thought that if she really wasn’t going to be responsible for Yerin to the end, it would be the correct answer to widen her distance to some extent.

Later, she hoped to meet a good person and completely cure her dependence on me.

But now it’s different.

The contents of a dream. Memories of several months. Current situation.

After carefully examining all of that, I had a slightly different idea.

‘…… Ha. Can I really do this?’

It was a crazy idea, but before I lost my memory, I actually put that thought into action, and I was halfway successful.

That’s why I made a bold decision.

I’m not going to be dragged around because I can’t stop being indecisive about their relationship.

Yes.

If we can’t all sever ties…… sh*t, you just have to have a relationship.

It was half a word close to bullsh*t. It was talking bullsh*t with a human mouth. A passing dog snorted, but there was nothing to say.

But I can’t help it now that this has happened.

It’s impossible to sort things out with them now.

Rather, what would happen if you ended the relationship in the same situation as now?

I’m sure it will face a huge backlash.

To the extent that I can’t handle it.

Gihojise (騎虎之勢).

Can’t come down while riding a tiger on its back.

If you try to get off the back of a tiger in the middle, you will be eaten by that tiger.

Once you get on the tiger’s back, sticking with it until the end is the only way to survive.

…… And now I’m riding on the tiger’s back.

Even if we face catastrophe someday, we have no choice but to move forward together until the end.

‘…… Anyway, what the hell am I doing before I lose my memory? Ha.’

My actions before I lost my memory came to mind.

In the past, I accepted the contents of my dreams as if they were real.

That’s why, to avoid the future where Jihyun dies, to improve the relationship with Yerin, for Choi Seoyoon and Ganghwaryun…….

I tried to attack the tower.

Because the future where we couldn’t capture the tower was really terrible.

It seems that he struggled to avoid the future in his dreams…… If that’s the way…….

‘No sh*t. It’s just too trashy though.’

No matter what the reason, the fact that I tried to use them has not changed.

They genuinely liked me, but I used their hearts.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like trash.

‘Do I have to go this far to clear the tower?’

Of course, we do not blindly trust the contents of dreams. It would be foolish to believe in a mere nightmare.

But.

Dreams of the future.

Me a few months ago.

Loss of memory.

All of these events are organically connected.

I had to prepare to some extent just in case.

In my dream, I couldn’t attack the tower properly.

Cracks continued to form, and monsters leaked out one after another.

In the process of stopping the monster, a lot of sacrifices followed, and they gradually walked the path of downfall.

If the dream was true, it had to be stopped.

“… ….”

I looked at the situation for a while.

I saw Jihyun and Yerin.

Both of them were waiting while watching me.

The response is not bad.

There is no need to be angry anymore.

Already brought the initiative and atmosphere.

Let’s stop getting angry.

It’s time to lighten the mood.

“Whoa…… Sorry.”

I moved my lips slowly.

But he didn’t show his anger as excitedly as before.

On the contrary, as if he has calmed down a bit now, he calmly breathes out and continues his conversation.

“I don’t usually get angry like this…… Stop without me noticing.”

That was right.

If it were me, I wouldn’t have been so angry.

“I’m sorry. I guess I said too much.”

I let out a deep sigh and apologized.

After hearing that they were sorry, they looked at me quietly.

He seemed a little taken aback by my sudden appearance.

“I didn’t expect to be this excited. There must have been piles of things that were usually frustrating.”

As they calmed down and behaved as usual, Jihyun and Yerin’s complexion gradually began to recover. Yerin’s face, which had been bluish, regained its color. Jihyun seemed to have relaxed a bit as well, and her stiff expression softened just a little bit.

“No, I’m sorry too.”

“I’m sorry too.”

Jihyun and Yerin also took advantage of the opportunity and quickly handed over an apology.

Previously, they only pretended to hear when they handed out the apology, but now they thought that the apology would definitely arrive.

Is that why?

I felt the atmosphere calm down little by little.

I slowly looked at the atmosphere, and when I thought I was at this point, I suddenly jumped up.

“Actually…… I mean.”

I could see that their eyes were swishing around as soon as the first words were finished.

I wonder what he was trying to say, he seemed a little nervous, but he seemed relieved because my voice wasn’t hardened.

“I can roughly understand how you guys lied.”

“…… Yes.”

Jihyun and Yerin nodded quietly.

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s a bit much to lie about being a lover, but…… That must be sincere.”

“…… Ah.”

At those words, Jihyun let out a short exclamation.

I don’t hate them.

I had a hard time because of their lies, but apart from that, pretty beauties like me, so there’s no way I hate it…… No, wait.

‘…… Isn’t it because of me that they confessed in the first place?’

Come to think of it, you just reap what you sow, right?

I used gaslighting and push-pull to take advantage of them before I lost my memory, and that’s why they falsely confessed to me, right?

If I didn’t manage the fishery, there would be no reason for them to lie to me. It just seemed like it was all my fault.

“To be honest, I don’t hate you guys either. No, I like it quite a lot.”

I cleared my throat and continued talking.

Let’s stop thinking about it for now and sort this situation out.

“But you know. You two……. It is difficult to receive two hearts.”

This was important.

I glanced at them.

“I am really grateful for your hearts, but…… I guess…….”

And I left room at the right timing.

It was an intentional act.

This feels like managing a fishery, right?

Well, that’s not wrong.

A fishing ground, that’s right. f*ck.

“So… ….”

“Teacher! I-I’m fine.”

I threw the bait and a fish snapped at it.

It was Yerin.

“I…… I am.”

A glimpse.

Yerin attacked Jihyun once.

Then she looked away and raised her voice.

“Because I like just being by the teacher’s side…… Just don’t push me away.”

“Yerin.”

…… Yerin acted as I expected.

You can’t just push it? Yerin’s earnest words made her heart thump. Why is she clinging to me so much because Yerin is lacking?

It is hard to find a beauty like Yerin. When she goes out, she will be loved by all men. There were many people who would struggle to match Yerin with her words.

But Yerin made me…….

‘Tsk.’

…… She shook her head wildly.

Stop thinking strangely and focus on the present situation.

I have already made up my mind to be trash. Let’s not waver.

I tried to look at Yerin with a silent expression.

“Yerin. That… ….”

“I’m really sorry I lied to you. But her heart for her teacher is sincere.”

“You?”

“I like it even if it’s not the first one. Please just stay with the teacher.”

My heart was even heavier because I was sincere.

Of course, I won’t push Yerin anymore…… I was confused in many ways that I had to do this.

“Then, Jihyun’s sister… ….”

Yerin glanced sideways at Jihyeon.

She was half provocative.

The eyes of the two did not meet for a moment, and she raised Jihyun’s eyebrows.

Biting her lower lip once, Ji-hyun twirled her hair as if he didn’t like her.

“Ha ha. Really…… Things take a strange turn…….”

Jihyun frowned at her and hardened her expression.

She had a complex looking face in many ways.

She could fully understand her heart.

“…… Ha. What is this really?”

Jihyeon talked to herself and twirled her hair even harder.

“…… Yerin Ryu. I expected him to like you.”

It was Jihyun who sighed softly.

“I never dreamed it would turn out like this.”

Jihyun took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

“Oh, really. They say that in love, the one you like more loses. It really was.”

Jihyun looked at me dumbly.

Her eyes were a mix of dissatisfaction and annoyance, but she soon calmed herself by fanning her face.

“I never dreamed I would be clinging to you like this, tsk.”

“Jihyun?”

Uh, no way?

To be honest, I was halfway giving up on Jihyun.

He is also Lee Ji-hyun.

Lee Ji-hyun, a top 10 hunter and S rank hunter.

What would Ji-hyeon do to hold on to me?

I can say that she lied about being in a relationship, but to say that in the current situation…… No way…… ?

“Ha. Really. Tsk.”

Ji-hyeon kept fiddling with the ends of her hair as if he didn’t like her at all.

“Seo Jun-ah. Okay. Whoa…….”

Jihyun exhaled her breath and slowly brought her words out.

“Well, I can’t do it now that it’s like this. Seo Jun-ah, I like you a lot.”

Jihyun made a calm and concise confession.

He was shouting confidently like usual Jihyun.

The dark eyes looked at me clearly.

I also met her eyes.

“To the point of telling a lie that would be obvious like an idiot…… I think he likes you.”

He blushed slightly as if he was embarrassed.

The bridge of her nose turned red and her eyelashes trembled, but Jihyun didn’t care and continued her words.

“Honestly, my current appearance is not funny…… ?”

Jihyun hesitated as she slightly stretched her tail.

“Just doing this to a man. I thought it was really ridiculous.”

She smiles despondently once, as if speaking for herself.

“But it’s not like that again because my situation is like this.”

“Jihyun-ah.”

Jihyun closed her eyes in an awkward way.

She then slowly opens her eyes and continues her words again.

“Yes, Seo Jun. Do I really like you?”

“…… Huh.”

“I didn’t know I liked you this much either. It’s not like me. Really. Under.”

“… ….”

Jihyeon acted more exaggeratedly, perhaps to hide her shyness.

She brushed her hair roughly and glanced away.

She was looking sideways at me.

“That, Seojun?”

“Why?”

“But you. Just because I lied doesn’t mean you hate me, right?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“Really? That’s it, then.”

Jihyeon sneakily meets Yerin’s eyes.

“Whatever… ….”

Yerin slightly frowned at her.

Jihyun laughs at that appearance.

“…… Because she is confident.”

“What?”

“Seojun, what if you also have eyes…… Would make the obvious choice. See you anyway.”

“Sister? What are you talking about? What am I doing?”

“Oops. Are you asking because you don’t know, Yerin?”

Jihyun straightened her waist as if showing off.

She straightened her chest accordingly.

Unable to withstand her weight, she swayed.

Yerin’s face hardened.

“Go, that’s all…… !”

Jumping.

“I’m sorry, Yerin, am I a bit late? That… ….”

Suddenly, the door to her hospital room opened, and Jumina appeared, waving her light pink hair.

“Uh…… Huh?”

Jumina glanced around the hospital room.

Soon after feeling that the atmosphere is strange, he mumbles with an awkward expression.

“I-I’ll go out for a bit.”

Jumina closes the door again and goes outside.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Her colic just broke at that sight.
