01053 8. Side story epilogue (3/3). ————————————————– ———————-=
My dizzy vision finally became clear.
The woman who spoke was clearly visible.
Even though I couldn’t control my body properly, I watched her unsteadily walking towards me.
Her once flowing hair became short enough to barely cover her neck, as if it had been forcibly cut with a blade.
The unique large eyes that twinkled like stars in the night sky became blurry like dead fish.
Come to think of it, this was right after the war between the Western Continent and the vagabond Allied Forces.
And Yoo Hyeon-ah… … .
“Seunghyun oppa. And Dahee.”
My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden voice.
“If you get to know them, they are good people. But did you really have to kill him?”
Seeing Yoo Hyeon-ah slowly approaching gives me a new feeling.
Should I say that the feeling is new?
“For me. I didn’t come to lament about my situation. No, I won’t. “I won’t do it, so please answer.”
okay.
“we… … . “How did this happen?”
I’m sure I’ve heard the same thing.
“I just wanted to get along with you… … .”
I could not bear to continue speaking and I could hear the sound of me swallowing.
“But did it really have to be that way?”
Even his voice came out faintly trembling.
“I can never forgive you, but… … .”
Yoo Hyeon-ah, who was approaching one step at a time, stopped right in front of her nose and closed her hands.
“still.”
Heavy silence.
Eventually, the trembling lips were pulled apart with difficulty.
“I’m sorry… … . “I wanted to hear at least a sincere apology.”
Tears filled with tears flowed down from the twinkling eyes.
At the same time, Yoo Hyeon-ah sat down as if she was collapsing.
She had a miserable and pitiful appearance that could not even be compared to the Yoo Hyeon-ah of the other world.
I looked down at her silently, shedding tears.
What I couldn’t hear then I can hear, and what I couldn’t see can now be seen.
I don’t really remember what I said at that time.
But there’s no need to think about it.
There is one reason why I came back at this point.
I carefully placed my hand on the top of my head, visible below my eyes.
“!”
A strong flinching sensation was conveyed through the palm of my hand.
After taking off his uniform and putting it on her shivering body, he slowly kneels down on one knee and makes eye contact.
Yoo Hyeon-ah looked at me with a disbelieving, distraught face.
Without avoiding the piercing gaze, I quietly opened my mouth.
“If I apologize, will you forgive me?”
At that moment, Lee Chae passed by the eyes that seemed like rotten eggs.
“Or how can I make you forgive me and be at peace?”
“… … how… … . “What?”
The sound of the conversation, which seemed to cut off, became strangely sharp.
“If you are. “Do you think you could forgive me if it were me?”
no.
That won’t be possible.
“How did I live after losing both of them… … . What happened to you… … . Do you even know?”
We cannot know, but we can guess.
“i know?”
Yoo Hyeon-ah spoke sadly.
The collar of the uniform I was wearing was torn, so I held it together with all my might.
“But how can I forgive you?” … .”
Yoo Hyeon-ah bit her lower lip until it turned completely white.
My appetite was bitter.
Yoo Hyeon-ah from another world said she would forgive me.
But who would immediately accept an apology and forgive simply because they apologized?
Even if the opponent was the Holy Queen Yu Hyeon-ah, I never expected that things would be resolved so easily.
Because it wasn’t something that could be resolved with just an apology.
“My past is full of very difficult and difficult memories. “Even now, there are a lot of things I don’t want to think about.”
That is why.
“So, when I first met you, I… … . It seemed like he was strangely obsessed with it. No other direction was even considered. “Perhaps, as you said, we could have gotten along well.”
however.
“I sometimes thought that way after what happened at the inn. But every time that happened, I forced myself to forget or rationalized it and didn’t think deeply about it. No, I didn’t want to.”
because.
“maybe… … . Admitting that I was wrong. “I think I was afraid of denying the past ten years.”
Yoo Hyeon-ah looked confused, as if she had no idea what she was talking about.
It was after a considerable amount of time had passed that I opened my mouth again.
“suddenly… … . “Why are you doing this?”
A boiling voice came out from under his bowed head.
“All you have to do is say a formal word. why… … !”
He shook his head violently, shook my hands off, and screamed.
The voice was mixed with crying to the extent that it was difficult to hear.
“Yoohyeon. I am.”
“I can’t admit it.”
The hot voice suddenly became cold.
Yoo Hyeon-ah raised her head roughly.
“Now let’s say it happens like this.”
He glares at me with eyes full of venom and resentment and distorts his face.
“Anyway, it’s just self-satisfaction because you want to relieve your guilt… … !”
“what… … .”
And I.
“To put it bluntly, yes.”
I answered immediately.
Yoo Hyeon-ah’s face, which had been slowly distorting, suddenly became blank.
As if I heard an unexpected answer.
But what she said was true.
“No matter how much I smile… … . Every time I think of you, a part of my heart feels uncomfortable. Sometimes it was so tight that it felt like it was going to burst. “I hated it.”
Because I’m annoying.
Because I don’t feel at peace.
Now that I say it, it’s a bit funny.
But these self-centered words were my true intentions.
“Then what about Seunghyun oppa?”
Yoo Hyeon-ah, who was gaping, barely opened her mouth to speak.
“What about Dahee?”
“… … .”
“… … “Me!”
“So I’m trying to change it.”
The voice I heard was surprisingly calm.
“Change… … . still?”
“yes. Cha Seung-hyun and Band Da-hee. “The world where these two people live.”
“… … ?”
“And to the world where you will live.”
If it had been the way it was, Yoo Hyeon-ah, who was desperate, would have begged to be killed.
I beheaded her without any hesitation.
That won’t happen here.
It changes everything related to me, including my relationship with Yoo Hyeon-ah.
It was something I had prepared for.
I took a deep breath as I saw Yoo Hyeon-ah looking at me with a speechless expression.
“But before that, there is one thing I must do.”
I gently grabbed both of his shoulders, which were sagging pitifully.
Then slowly lift and raise your body together.
We got up again.
“Yoohyeon.”
Yoo Hyeon-ah’s eyes widened in surprise as if she had come to her senses.
The black pupils regain their normal color, albeit slightly.
I took a couple of steps back from her with a devastated face.
Then he bent his back little by little and opened his mouth.
It has to be done now.
Something I couldn’t say back then.
“At that time, I arbitrarily accepted your words and committed an act that was beyond morality.”
but-.
“That hurt you.”
What I can say now.
“I’m truly sorry.”
I see the land.
Suddenly, a speck of white snow falls and touches the shady ground in the twilight.
Now that I think about it, there were a few traces of melted snow on my shoes.
what.
Was it snowing at this time?
I don’t think so… … .
“no way.”
After some time passed, Yoo Hyeon-ah spoke.
“I never thought you would really apologize… … . I did not know… … .”
The voice, which sounded somewhat confused, was very hoarse.
On the other hand, it felt like all the sharp thorn-like poison had escaped all at once.
I slowly straightened my back.
Tears were still flowing down Yoo Hyeon-ah’s face with her mouth open.
He stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears, as if caressing them, and continued speaking.
“I thought I had changed. But in reality, it wasn’t like that at all.”
“Soo, Su-hyeon. Well, I… … .”
“As I said before, that’s why I’m trying to change it. “For you and for myself.”
“… … yes?”
There may be an easier way.
But I didn’t just choose that method.
If I do that, instead of solving the problem, I’ll just be covering up my darkest memories.
So I came here first.
now… … .
“I’ll just go back now.”
Now, I go back to when we first met.
From there, everything changes.
Will it be okay?
Probably not okay.
The only thing I trust is zero code.
“finally.”
I turned to where I could feel the zero code.
But before leaving, he turned his face again and looked back.
Yoo Hyeon-ah did not show any reaction and just stood there with a distant feeling.
“When we meet again.”
I smiled at her as best as I could.
“I want to see your smiling face.”
*
I heard the sound of a wooden door opening.
“excuse me… … . “I heard that there is a person named Kim Soo-hyun here.”
At the same time, the long-awaited voice rang out from the inn entrance.
Everyone, including me, turns our eyes to the door.
At that place.
“hello! “Is there a user named Kim Soo-hyun?”
There she was.
It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a bright smiling face without a care in the world.
“If it’s Kim Soo-hyun, it’s this person here. “Who is that?”
“You are there as expected~. thank god.”
As Vivian pointed at me and spoke, Yoo Hyeon-ah sighed in relief, sweeping her heart.
“ah! My name is Yoo Hyeon-ah, and I am the newly appointed lord of the Beech Clan, the representative clan of the small city of Mul. nice to meet you!”
“This is Cha Seung-hyeon, a third-year user.”
A man with a sad expression who was standing next to me also greeted me in a deep voice.
I stood up, trying to look natural.
“yes. “I am Kim Soo-hyun.”
And he spoke softly.
“nice to meet you. “User Yoohyeon.”
At that moment, Yoo Hyeon-ah, who was striding in, suddenly stopped.
She blinked her eyes rapidly, as if she had suddenly been shocked.
After a while, my apricot cheeks turned a deep balsam color.
The bridge of his nose also turned red and he slowly lowered his eyes.
what?
Was my smile weird?
“to… … .”
“… … ?”
“Well, I wanted to talk for a moment… … . I want to go in… … .”
“Oh, please come in.”
He gently grabbed the hand of Yoo Hyeon-ah, who was hesitant.
Then she made a sound similar to a moan.
Soon, Yoo Hyeon-ah and I sat down.
Go Yeon-ju grumbled and brought a teacup.
“Ah. Thank you.”
I looked at the holy queen who was losing her pace and struggling.
“I… … . If you look at me like that… … . Boo, I’m embarrassed… … .”
As she rolled her eyes back and forth and brought the teacup to her mouth, she looked at me and started crying.
“sorry.”
“no! No need to apologize… … !”
I was also taken aback when I saw Yoo Hyeon-ah holding out her hand more than necessary.
She must have heard Cha Seung-hyeon’s sigh and immediately became as calm as a new girl.
“I’m sorry for making a fuss… … .”
When I nodded my head to indicate that it was okay, Yuhyeonah also smiled shyly.
It’s different from before.
Although the reaction was a bit strange, the atmosphere was not that unpleasant.
Of course, there is still more to talk about, but I am confident.
It should have been like this.
It’s that easy.
“It took so long.”
“yes?”
“Oh, no. “Anyway, I heard there was something you wanted to tell me.”
“Ah yes!”
Yoo Hyeon-ah shouted with excitement.
I rested my chin on my hand and stared at her.
“to. Well, I mean… … .”
Then, I don’t know why, but Yoo Hyeon-ah made a nervous expression again.
He mumbled his words and then lowered his head again.
In the past, even my ears turned red.
Why are you doing that from earlier?
Suddenly I felt worried.
… … Are we on the right track now?
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
sorry.
Even at the end, I failed to control the portion size. ㅜ.ㅠ
There is one more side story epilogue left.
Actually, it’s not even one episode, but I think it will be completed in about 6K.
On May 8th (Sunday), we will make sure to tie the knot even if there are two sides of the sky.
Thanks for reading. _(__)_
