Episode 53.
I thought I was seeing things wrong, but that couldn’t be true.
There’s no way I could have seen that face wrong in the first place.
“Why is Chaerin here?”
“As you can see.”
Siwoo’s gaze swept over Han Chae-rin.
Pretty face and graceful body.
And the pink hospital gown.
“Are you saying that you are receiving treatment?”
“yes.”
Han Chae-rin nodded slightly.
For some reason, Siwoo felt a strange sense of foreboding at the sight of Han Chae-rin like that.
It’s a situation I’ve encountered before.
“I made a separate request to the hospital director.”
“yes.”
“There are also complicated circumstances that require you to share the same hospital room as me.”
“Yes. Are you uncomfortable?”
Then wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for you?
Siwoo swallowed the words that were rising to his throat.
What man wouldn’t like being with a pretty woman?
No, no.
Confucius said, ‘Men and women should not sit together after seven years of age.’
He said that boys and girls should not sit in the same seat after they turn 7.
Why now… .
‘……Oh my, what am I thinking?’
Is it because I watched the video on the Confucius Channel?
Somehow, it seemed like I was gradually becoming a scholar.
anyway.
“So what do you want to tell me?”
“Aren’t you going to ask what happened?”
“The dungeon collapsed. Chaerin brought me in when I was unconscious. After receiving various treatments, I am now awake. Isn’t that right?”
Han Chae-rin didn’t say anything else.
He just stood there with his mouth slightly open.
In a word, an expression that leaves one speechless.
It seemed to fit perfectly.
“So what do you want to tell me?”
That may be why Han Chae-rin couldn’t easily open her mouth to Si-woo’s question.
There was no sign of emotion on his expressionless face.
But why is that?
Could it be because the flow of the conversation was such that even the torso was cut off, not to mention the legs?
Siwoo could tell that Han Chae-rin was a little flustered.
But don’t you like conversations that are strictly about business?
At that moment, I had such a question.
“First of all, as Siwoo said, the dungeon has collapsed.”
Han Chae-rin slowly opened her mouth.
“With that, the dungeon has been cleared.”
“thank god.”
Siwoo nodded with a small sigh of relief.
And then, I asked Han Chae-rin about a question that suddenly occurred to me.
“What happened to Fenrir?”
“If you’re talking about that black wolf… I don’t know. I saw it leave somewhere at the end though… .”
It seemed like Han Chae-rin didn’t know either.
So I was a little worried, but not too worried.
In the end, the barrier and dungeon that imprisoned Fenrir collapsed.
So, Han Chae-rin said that she saw him go somewhere.
Fenrir would probably have returned safely to the divine realm.
Siwoo let out a small sigh of relief.
And is it because of that appearance of Siwoo?
Han Chae-rin’s gaze as she looked at Si-woo was quite subtle.
But that was only for a moment.
Han Chae-rin opened her mouth again.
“First of all, I didn’t reveal what happened in the dungeon. I also made sure my team members kept their mouths shut. So it was announced that our team members had cleared the dungeon… .”
Then Han Chae-rin looked at Si-woo.
“If Mr. Siwoo wishes, I intend to correct the facts.”
“Are you saying that you are correcting what I have explained?”
“yes.”
Han Chae-rin nodded resolutely.
Seeing Han Chae-rin like that, Si-woo responded with a laugh.
“Let’s just do what Chaerin did.”
“……”
Then, Han Chae-rin was at a loss for words for a moment.
It seemed like he didn’t know Siwoo would give that answer.
A moment of silence.
Han Chae-rin opened her mouth.
“Is there any reason you are hiding your power?”
“Hide your power? Who? Me?”
As Siwoo tilted his head, Han Chae-rin tilted her head in return.
Seeing Han Chae-rin like that, Si-woo said as if he was wondering what she was talking about.
“No. Not at all. If I did, would I be running a YouTube channel?”
“……”
Han Chae-rin was at a loss for words again.
If you think about it, that’s how it was.
“You don’t have any hidden powers in the first place?”
“What is that…?”
“You saw with your own eyes that I almost died after exerting all my strength. If Chaerin hadn’t taken care of me, I would have died there. Would I have ended up like that if I had been hiding my strength? I really exerted all my strength to the point of death.”
“……”
As expected, Han Chae-rin was once again at a loss for words.
If you think about it, that’s how it was.
“And if you wanted to hide your power, why did you do it in front of so many people?”
“Then why…?”
“Because that’s what my contract with Chaerin was like.”
“A contract? Ah.”
Han Chae-rin’s expression suddenly becomes blank.
Siwoo continued speaking with a sly smile.
“So let’s just do it as Chaerin’s strategy. More than anything, we need the SH Group’s power to clear the S-rank dungeon.”
“but….”
Still, Han Chae-rin did not nod easily.
Rather than a pang of conscience… .
I think it was probably a doubt about one’s own abilities.
I wonder if it’s okay to announce it like that when I don’t have the skills to clear the S-rank.
Siwoo said to Han Chae-rin like that.
“It’s just that this dungeon was special. Chaerin is more than capable of raiding an S-rank dungeon.”
“Are you comforting me?”
“No. I’m just telling the truth.”
Han Chae-rin looked at Si-woo quietly.
Siwoo also looked at Han Chae-rin like that.
Then he snickers.
“thank you.”
Did Han Chae-rin smile?
“uh….”
The moment I saw it, I was embarrassed.
No wonder. Did you know that woman, who is like a block of ice, can smile?
No, did emotions even exist?
Although the time I met Han Chae-rin was short, it was the first time I saw her smile.
and.
‘It’s pretty.’
Her smiling face was truly beautiful.
The cold atmosphere that contrasts with her usual innocence was also very attractive.
But the bright smile suited that face best.
Well, by the way.
“Is that all you have to say?”
“No. I have one more thing to tell you.”
At the same time, Han Chae-rin’s eyes lit up.
And after straightening her posture, Han Chae-rin slowly opened her mouth.
“Are you interested in working with me?”
* * *
Click.
After leaving the hospital room, Chae-rin immediately started the discharge process.
Of course, it was just a matter of saying, ‘I’m going out,’ but anyway.
As I finished the discharge procedures and came out, a black luxury sedan was waiting at the main gate.
Soon, Chae-rin’s secretary, Kim Min-jae, opened the backseat door.
“Let’s ride.”
“thank you.”
Chaerin buried herself in the back seat.
Soon, Kim Min-jae, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, asked.
“Where can I take you.”
“Please go to Grandpa.”
“All right.”
The sedan moved with a soft engine sound.
The cityscape of the city passing by in a flash.
Chaerin stared blankly out the window.
“Thank you for your hard work during this raid. The Chairman is also very pleased.”
Even though she heard Minjae’s words, Chaerin didn’t take her eyes off the window.
Just with an indifferent expression.
“thank god.”
He just nodded slightly.
For some reason, the atmosphere inside the car became awkward.
But Minjae didn’t show it at all.
Because as Chae-rin’s secretary, I knew Chae-rin better than anyone else.
If anyone else saw it, they would think that Chaerin was being cold to him.
But Minjae knew that Chaerin was just thinking about something.
And something that Chaerin thinks about.
To be exact, someone that Chaerin is thinking of.
“What did Siwoo say?”
“……yes?”
As expected, Chaerin reacted.
When I glanced at Chae-rin through the rearview mirror, she had a surprised expression on her face, as if her true feelings had been discovered.
Chaerin looks surprised when she thinks of a man.
Minjae asked with a slight smile.
“Did you get hurt this time too?”
“……yes.”
Then Chaerin nodded her head quietly.
Minjae smiled faintly again at Chae-rin’s appearance.
At first, I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
But now I knew what it meant.
“What did Siwoo say when he got kicked?”
“that is….”
Chaerin hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth.
“It has been said since ancient times that a gentleman gets along with people but does not form cliques.”
“…yes?”
Minjae tilted his head without realizing it.
That makes sense. He’s suddenly a gentleman?
Could this be the gentleman that Confucianism talks about?
No, what is that…?
“On the other hand, I said that I was a gangster and that I didn’t fit in.”
“……?”
Minjae couldn’t understand what Chaerin was saying.
No, not exactly.
“So… you’re saying that Siwoo said something like that?”
“Yes. So I said that it’s better to do things like this occasionally rather than with colleagues or teammates.”
“……”
Minjae was at a loss for words.
I don’t know if you know Minjae’s feelings or not.
“In that sense, he asked me if I had any interest in learning swordsmanship.”
“Sword fighting? No, wait. Are you saying… that Si-woo will teach you sword fighting?”
“yes.”
Chaerin nodded slightly.
And Minjae didn’t know how to react to this.
No, think about it.
Who the hell is Chaerin?
Sword Material (S) and Six Senses (S).
Both were great geniuses who awakened to S-rank.
He was a world-class talent who was aiming for S+ level.
Of course, Chaerin was not learning proper swordsmanship at the moment.
It was also true that it was holding Chaerin’s ankle.
But even so, it is like that.
I admit that Siwoo has exceptional abilities.
But teaching Chaerin was a separate matter.
Also, swordsmanship was not something that could be easily taught.
To be exact, advanced swordsmanship was not something that could be easily acquired or taught.
Haven’t you seen how much Chaerin suffered because she couldn’t learn advanced swordsmanship?
There was no way that Shiwoo would know such advanced swordsmanship.
So, in a way, it was a problem that scratched Chaerin’s pride.
But what.
“So I decided to give it a try.”
“Huh, huh?!?”
“I think you should look ahead.”
Paaaaang!
Squeak!
-Hey you little punk! Aren’t you driving properly?!
The angry driver’s voice could be heard outside the window.
But Minjae didn’t care about that at all.
“Then, the reason you’re going to meet the chairman now…?”
“I think I need some tuition money.”
“……”
My mouth is completely shut.
What am I talking about now?
No, Chaerin and Siwoo.
What on earth were those two talking about?
-You little shit, get off me now! Get off me, just like that!
Minjae couldn’t understand the current situation at all.
* * *
The special room in the hospital after Han Chae-rin left.
Siwoo was sitting on the bed with a blank expression.
“crazy….”
To be precise, it would have been better to say that Ayi had gone out.
That would be the case, as Siwoo is looking at the smartphone screen.
So, the skill level of the individuality that can be seen on the smartphone screen of GodTube.
“crazy!”
The level of skill was just crazy.
