Ending Maker SS #18 To Earth (11)
“I see. That was your Natasha. That was Kang Jin-ho’s Natasha. That was the girl you went to the night pool with. I didn’t know that and asked her without thinking who she went with. I see. That’s what happened.”
When Cordelia spoke with her cold eyes and unsteady voice, Uther was more flustered than ever.
He was so embarrassed that he stuttered.
“Ah, no. Well, first of all. Uh, don’t misunderstand.”
“misunderstanding?”
“Oh, misunderstanding. I’m telling you, you’re misunderstanding right now. Natasha isn’t my ex-girlfriend… or anything.”
When Yuder, embarrassed by the sound of the word “ex-girlfriend,” stuttered again, Cordelia snorted and said with a face full of discontent.
“No? Even if she’s your ex-girlfriend, it doesn’t matter? In both my past and present life, I only have you. Oh, but. To me, there’s only one man left, Yuder.”
Anyone who saw it could tell that his expression and voice were overflowing with discontent.
So, Uder managed to meet Cordelia’s eyes with great difficulty and spoke again.
“No, really, really. Natasha is like Maia to me… yeah, someone like Maia.”
“Maya?”
“Yes, Maya.”
Do you get it now?
– I had that kind of feeling, but it wasn’t like that at all.
Cordelia opened her eyes wide in surprise and cried out.
“You and Maia were like that?!”
“No! Why is it like that!”
What’s the deal with Maya and all!
You know best about Maia and me!
Uther, who was pounding his chest in frustration, met Cordelia’s still suspicious blue eyes and spoke.
“Cordelia, you know, Maia is my······.”
That was it.
Uther paused for a moment, thinking about Maia.
Maya Tantalot.
Five years older than Uther himself, he has been watching him practically since birth, and aside from Cordelia, she is the most precious woman in the world.
Even now, when I close my eyes, countless memories with her come back vividly.
“Maia is… my mother, my older sister, my friend… and so on… Actually, think about it. I’m sick and just lounging around the house, but my kind, pretty, and gentle older sister takes care of everything for me. She listens to my whining and reads me bedtime stories. So, of course, I’ll think, ‘Ah, when I grow up, I’m going to marry Maia.’”
As Uther continued to speak slowly, Cordelia nodded with her lips pursed.
Because she also knew very well what kind of person Maia was to Uther.
But after hearing the last part, the part where he said, ‘I have to marry Maia,’ I opened my eyes wide and shouted again.
“What, you were thinking about marrying Natasha?!”
Natasha is like Maia.
Young Juder thought that when he grew up, he would marry Maia.
That is, Kang Jin-ho thought about marrying Natasha.
Uther was tormented, clutching his head at Cordelia’s extremely logical(?) reasoning.
“No! Oh, really. What have you been saying since a while ago? Natasha is like Maia to me, right? Huh? Maia!”
Yuder’s mother. Yuder’s older sister. Yuder’s best friend.
But Cordelia still didn’t look convinced. She crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and began to mutter strange words.
“Ugh, ugh.”
A sign that you are still doubting.
That’s why Uder explained once again.
“I have received a lot of help from Natasha since I was little. It is no exaggeration to say that Alexei and Natasha raised me.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
“Hey, you still keep doing that? Are you the only one I have? Are you more important to me than just myself?”
“Huh, just in words.”
Cordelia snorted again, but the corners of her mouth were strangely turned up.
Yuder, who gained confidence from that sight, said again, pounding his chest loudly.
“If you don’t believe me, just take a look inside my head.”
“Ugh.”
“You can just see it as magic. I won’t resist. It’ll probably be easier for you to explain.”
When Uther said that with his chest wide open, Cordelia pursed her lips and nodded.
“Okay, let’s take a look then.”
“Huh? Wait. Are you really seeing this?”
“Then do you see it for real or fake? Just sit there. Why, are you scared?”
As Cordelia’s eyes narrowed, Uther immediately shook his head.
“Who would be nervous? Hmm. Okay. I’m confident. Rather, don’t be embarrassed after seeing it.”
“Shy? Who?”
“you.”
“Why me?”
“You’ll know when you see it?”
“Hey, what do you usually think about that makes me feel embarrassed?”
“Well, dirty thoughts?”
Cordelia blushed for a moment when Uther answered shamelessly, but it only lasted for a moment.
He then said with a laugh.
“Ugh, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work. Are you afraid that I won’t see it? Sit down quickly.”
“Yes, yes. I’ll sit down.”
Cordelia hesitated for a moment as Uther sat down, completely cool, but he had already drawn his sword.
Since I already picked it, I had to cut it down.
“Okay, let’s get started. Think about Natasha.”
“okay.”
After giving a short answer, Uther closed his eyes and began to think of Natasha, and Cordelia closed her eyes while holding Uther’s head with both hands.
&
“You’re Gino. My name is Natasha.”
Pretty girl.
He must have been in his mid-teens.
Unlike his young-looking face, his mysterious blue eyes had the maturity of an adult.
“Gino! Don’t give up!”
The memory has changed.
I was crawling on the ground on a rainy day.
Natasha, wearing a poncho over her head, shouted out some words of encouragement from far away, while Alexei, standing next to her, looked at her with cold eyes.
“It’s Christmas. Isn’t this okay?”
A makeshift tree made from small trees.
But Natasha smiled brightly in front of the candles, and Kang Jin-ho smiled as well upon seeing her smile.
“Gino, isn’t it cool?”
“You’re really good now. Better than me?”
“Gino, I’m proud of you.”
It was just as Uther said.
Natasha was like Maia to Kang Jin-ho.
It was Alexei who taught Kang Jin-ho how to fight and how to survive.
But it was Natasha who protected and cared for Kang Jin-ho’s heart.
‘Huh, huh. Huh, huh.’
I could also feel Yuder’s and Kang Jin-ho’s feelings towards Natasha to some extent.
It was really like Maia.
It was closer to the kind of emotion you feel towards your mother or older sister, rather than towards a person of the opposite sex.
‘Oh, wait.’
But at some point.
Cordelia stopped the fast-flowing memories of Uther.
The night pool in question.
When I was able to rest all day at his villa after work was over thanks to the consideration of the person I was protecting.
“Gino, you pervert.”
Whether by coincidence or fate, Natasha’s swimsuit was torn and flowing down, and Kang Jin-ho was faced with it head-on.
A word that Natasha said with a smile to Kang Jin-ho, who was speechless with a red face.
And the memories continued.
This is not an actual event that happened in real life, but a dream that Kang Jin-ho had of seeing a woman’s naked body for the first time that night.
‘Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.’
It wasn’t that wild.
Natasha just came out naked, approached him with a lewd air, and caressed Yuder’s cheek, that was all.
‘Hmm.’
When Cordelia made a strange noise with a displeased face.
The scene before my eyes changed again.
Instead of Natasha’s memories continuing, the lewd dreams that Yuder and Kang Jin-ho had continued like a panorama.
Unlike Natasha’s time, full-blown, really full-blown erotic dreams.
Cordelia blushed and tried to skip over the memory, but she couldn’t.
I opened my eyes wide without realizing it and then blinked.
“me?”
That’s right.
The woman with red hair always appeared in Kang Jin-ho’s dirty dreams.
Cordelia couldn’t even imagine who your Kang Jin-ho was, but she knew.
That woman was clearly Cordelia herself.
Moreover, unlike Natasha’s time, the content of the dream was not just soft and light.
Should I say that it was a dream that made me exclaim, “Wow!”
Cordelia covered her face with both hands – and as she spread her fingers apart to glimpse her dreams, she heard Uther’s voice.
“Ahem.”
Cordelia glimpses into Uther’s memories in a virtual space created by magic, and Uther appears next to her.
Although not to the extent of Cordelia, Uther was also skilled in magic, so something like this was possible.
So instead of asking what had happened, Cordelia asked a more relevant question.
“hey.”
“uh.”
“You didn’t even know me back then.”
It was after he came to Korea that Kang Jin-ho learned about Heroes Chronicles 2.
That is, fourteen-year-old Kang Jin-ho knew nothing about Heroes Chronicles 2.
But Kang Jin-ho had a dream about Cordelia.
Since the first dream about Natasha, I have only had dreams about Cordelia.
At Cordelia’s question, Uther smiled brightly and then made a silly face that Cordelia both liked and disliked.
“Well… we are two people with destiny.”
Because to me, Cordelia, there is only you.
Kang Jin-ho was the reincarnation of Yuder.
No matter how many lives he repeated, Uther only loved Cordelia.
“Huh.”
Cordelia pouted and turned her head away, and Uther smiled.
He gently bit Cordelia’s ear, which had turned red all the way down to her earlobe, and then hugged her from behind.
“Again. Again, trying to pass it off like this······.”
Uther would not listen any longer, and Cordelia could speak no more.
Because Uther’s lips and tongue covered Cordelia’s mouth.
‘love you.’
Uther spoke with his eyes, and Cordelia hugged him.
We shared a deep love in our hearts.
&
Same time.
When Uther and Cordelia became completely unaware of their surroundings.
Kang Jin-ho was still looking at the communicator.
[I’ll come see you soon. Your Natasha.]
A short, one-line sentence.
But countless thoughts came to Kang Jin-ho’s mind.
Kang Jin-ho was not a yandere.
He didn’t have Cordelia yet.
No, aside from that, Natasha was an extremely precious person to Kang Jin-ho.
“Natasha.”
It’s already been nearly six years since we last met.
After taking revenge on Alexei and retiring from this world, she hasn’t even exchanged small contacts, let alone met him.
Unlike Kang Jin-ho himself, she did not retire.
Maybe it’s still active.
No, it was clear that it would be active.
“Natasha······.”
Why did it suddenly appear?
Is she doing well?
How has she lived for the past six years?
Many questions arose and disappeared one by one. In the end, only one emotion remained.
‘I want to meet you.’
Natasha.
Her.
That precious person who is his sister and friend.
KakaoTalk!
It was just then.
Yuder, who came to his senses suddenly at the sound of a notification that broke his thoughts, looked back at his phone and made a strange expression.
Hong Yu-hee: [Oppa, oppa. What are you doing now?]
Hong Yu-hee: [Can I go play a game now?]
Even though it was just a sentence, it seemed like a cheerful voice was being heard.
Yuder looked at the clock on the lower right side of the computer, smiled without realizing it, and tapped the screen of his cell phone.
Kang Jin-ho: [You can come. But what don’t they say at home?]
Hong Yu-hee: [Yeah, yeah. It’s okay.]
I wonder if it’s really okay.
I wonder if he lied and said he was going to a PC room.
As the older brother next door, shouldn’t I stop this behavior?
Various thoughts came to mind, but Yuder quickly shook his head.
It was only 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and Hong Yu-hee was a fully grown adult.
Moreover, when we meet, we’re really just going to play games.
Kang Jin-ho: [Okay, I’ll avenge you last time.]
Hong Yu-hee: [Hehe, there’s no way? Anyway, I’ll go now!]
And then the doorbell rings – ding-dong.
It seems like the message was sent from the front gate in the first place.
Kang Jin-ho checked the intercom and hurriedly opened the front door.
“lol.”
As expected, Hong Yu-hee was standing there.
It was a similar but slightly different outfit to the one at the regular meeting, and even at first glance, you could tell that she had put a lot of effort into it.
A slightly pink blouse and a slightly short black skirt.
Her hair, tied back into a ponytail, had a black ribbon that was not overly large.
What should I say in this situation?
Actually, I knew it.
A mild compliment.
What Natasha taught me.
But Kang Jin-ho, who felt embarrassed for some reason, missed the timing to praise her because he kept coughing in vain.
“Come in.”
“Yes, brother.”
Hong Yu-hee answered with a smile, but Kang Jin-ho could sense it at that moment.
A little disappointed.
Feeling slightly discouraged.
Shouldn’t you compliment her and say she’s pretty right now?
It was true that she was pretty, cute and lovely.
But it was just as Kang Jin-ho was about to open his mouth.
cheep.
But Kang Jin-ho caught the sound.
The sense that should be called the sixth sense rather than the hearing sensed something, and that something led to hearing.
Towards the bedroom.
What could it be?
It didn’t seem dangerous.
I didn’t feel alive, and I didn’t feel any danger.
‘Is this a mistake?’
Because I’ve become a lot less sensitive over the past six years.
But I couldn’t just let it go.
Alexei’s teachings commanded Kang Jin-ho to act.
“Just a moment. I’ll get something from my room.”
Kang Jin-ho said that to Hong Yu-hee, who was standing in the hallway and looking toward the living room, and headed toward the bedroom. Hong Yu-hee blinked and then leaned slightly toward Kang Jin-ho.
It was because I became curious about the excuse that Kang Jin-ho unconsciously made, ‘I’ll bring something.’
what?
What are you bringing?
Besides, the living room was soon to become Kang Jin-ho’s room.
I couldn’t help but be curious.
So Hong Yu-hee leaned in even further, but it was impossible to see inside the living room due to the structure of the apartment.
That’s why Kang Jin-ho raised his senses instead of distracting Hong Yu-hee.
I slowly opened the bedroom door, thinking about what might happen.
And right after that.
What caught Kang Jin-ho’s eye.
No, I heard it before that.
“It’s been a while, Gino. Didn’t you miss me?”
Korean is a little awkward, but it is still understandable, and above all, it has a very beautiful voice.
And the source of that sound is,
A half-naked woman lying on a bed in a red dress with very little surface area.
“Me, Natasha?!”
“Oh, Gino. Your senses have become dull. You don’t even know that there’s someone hiding in your treasure trove?”
Kang Jin-ho, who was flustered by the Russian he had heard for the first time in a long time, or rather, by the situation before his eyes, remembered one thing. Before Natasha could say anything else, he hurriedly entered the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
“Gino?”
The voice of a precious person I met after 6 years.
A mischievous and strange person who would deliberately lie on the bed half naked just to see her in trouble. But she was still so precious.
But there was something else that was important now.
“Brother?”
Kang Jin-ho felt anxiety and fear that were difficult to explain logically at the sound of Hong Yu-hee’s voice from beyond the door, and Natasha opened her eyes wide. Soon, she looked toward the door with a strange smile.
