00113 Dark Past ———————————————– ————————–=
“No way, little sister… .”
“no.”
Ha-yeon Jeong dismissed my expectations with one word. She is still a bad enough drama, but if that female user was Jeong Ji-yeon, she would have gone too far. Fortunately, Ha-yeon Jeong denied my answer with a firm answer.
“Of course, it is difficult to say that he behaves well, but he is a precious younger brother to me. anyway… That female user was a wizard user who came in a few months earlier than us. She said, “I won’t reveal her name.” Just because she was a female user, she was extremely talented so she then received executive training. We made eye contact and she seemed embarrassed at first, but then she smiled when she saw me frozen. And she opened up to a man who was in the thick of it.”
no way… Is it Yubin? Seong Yubin. I tilted my head. She was currently following Park Hyeon-woo around. However, there were several circumstances that did not make it right to believe that the man was Park Hyeon-woo. Many thoughts came to mind for a moment, but I decided to focus more on the story for now.
“I still clearly remember the conversation we had at that time. I’ll tell you it as it is. It started with a woman. Isn’t there a girl following you around? huh? Ah, him. Why is he suddenly like that? no… You seemed a bit special. What is special? I don’t think so. He seems to really like you. Can he do this with me? ah. are you okay. To be honest, she’s quite a beauty, but she’s not my type. “I much prefer a passionate woman like you.”
In fact, Ha-yeon Jeong was reciting the lines of that day. It must have been at least a year, but judging from what she still remembers, she must have been quite shocked. A sad smile appeared on her face as she looked dumbfounded after hearing the conversation. And, she continued.
“The woman laughed and said, as if she was happy with the man’s words. okay? Still, I feel so sorry for him. It’s okay. Well, there’s something a bit regrettable about it… Anyway, he was brought here for bribery purposes. bribe? huh. There was a rumor that the Golden Lion Clan Scouter was a new user killer. They say they like smart, pretty, young girls. I thought I would like Hayeon because she had pretty good skills and a pretty face. Then I think that person will look after me well… But the bitch messed up. Damn it it hurts. Be gentle. sorry. When I think about that bitch, I get really hot again. Anyway, I’m going to sacrifice myself to the scouter soon, so don’t worry about it. lazy… ah.”
As I listened to the conversation so far, I felt goosebumps coming from a female user named Jeong Ha-yeon. The depth of her discipline I felt when I first saw her was no lie. I’m a man, so I don’t know how she feels, but from her woman’s perspective, I couldn’t even imagine how heartbreaking it would be for her. What’s even scarier is that she didn’t shed a single tear as she recited the conversation she had just had. When I heard her situation, I couldn’t stop sighing deeply.
“is it so. To him, I was nothing more than a tool for success. Even though I fell into this hellish hole plane, I still thought that anywhere would be fine as long as I was with him. But that dream was my own illusion. “From beginning to end, he only cared about himself and tried to take advantage of me.”
“Then what happens after that…” .”
“That’s how I went to see the human resources manager. I was sleeping soundly and I forcefully woke him up. And he said he was quitting right away. What’s even more surprising is that he listened to my story and agreed without saying a word. how is it. “It’s funny, right?”
I guess so. It’s unsettling to hold it in, and there’s no justification for kicking it out. There was no way the clan, which had nothing to regret, would stop the person involved from walking out on their own. Finally, as if she had finished speaking, she took a deep breath and laid her back against the back of her chair. Out of habit, I took out a tobacco plant from my pocket. When I put a piece of tobacco in my mouth, a weak fire spontaneously lit up at the tip.
For a while, Jeong Ha-yeon and I said nothing. There was an awkward silence as they left the table. Eventually, enough time passed to burn the entire vehicle. Jeong Ha-yeon, who was watching me open a cigarette, opened her mouth in a relaxed voice.
“thank you. “You’ve been listening to boring and unpleasant stories for a long time.”
“It was nothing. “I understand you.”
“I don’t like lip service. “What do you understand?”
“The unfavorable conflict between the best clan and individual, especially women. A process that has been endured for a long time from a position of being inevitably the weak. The clan’s disposition may have felt unfair from an individual’s perspective. The anger that I endured but eventually burst out at the actions of the man I thought was my last hope. “I understand your position, sympathize with you, and sympathize with you.”
She smiled sadly as I pointed out each word one by one. And she immediately opened her mouth.
“is it so. “Then it’s finally time to get to the point.”
I shook my head as I watched her continue talking with her hands clasped together. Her eyes turned round at my reaction.
“It’s too late at night. You said too much today. So stop listening… .”
“The night is deep, and there is plenty of time.”
“The rest later… .”
“no. “I really want to tie the knot today.”
Jeong Ha-yeon stared at me with eyes filled with bluish fire. Before I knew it, she was leaning on the table and holding onto my hand tightly as I tried to raise her body. Her hand felt cold and cool on the back of her hand. After confirming her determination to never let go, I opened my mouth with a calm face.
“What more do you want to say?”
“It’s the story you told me about, paying the price and paying off your debt.”
I looked at her silently. I knew her situation. But this and that were separate matters. If she was being emotional, she would have said she had the wrong street number, but her eyes said nothing of the sort.
I readjusted my posture. From now on, it was the start of the second war after the ruined laboratory. However, this time the order was changed and this time I was in the ball’s position.
“Then how will you pay the price and debt?”
Reply to her words in a quiet voice. In response to my reaction, Jeong Ha-yeon shrugged her shoulders and shook her head gently.
“I’m sorry for using
“I can understand that it was done for no reason. However, this cannot justify the actions of user Jeong Ha-yeon. Please distinguish between public and private life.”
“i know. But I just don’t know. “What does user Kim Soo-hyun want from me?”
“That is a problem you have to worry about. “It is not up to me to decide.”
I didn’t back down even a word. I sympathize with her situation, but I cannot overlook it. Some people may criticize it for being too tight. But this is hole plain. Since she gave me information directly related to my life, I have the bare minimum justification to kill her. And that was a fact she also knew.
At my firm voice, she opened her mouth in a tired voice.
“I had a lot of worries when I returned from the ruined laboratory. but… “In the end, we concluded that we couldn’t pay anything.”
“… “Please tell me in detail.”
“Are you pretending not to know? Or do you really not know? “What on earth can I give you now?”
“… … .”
“User information? goldfinch? ability? Free service? Should we write a slave contract? I don’t know what you want. No, actually, there’s really nothing I can give you.”
I sighed at her words. I tapped the table out of habit. And the thought that came to mind was… She said she liked it. I felt like I finally knew why I had such a crush on her. She doesn’t cross the line. In other words, it means that you understand the topic well.
Of course, that line was crossed only once in the lab. However, that action was proof that she had a goal that she wanted to achieve and confirm even though she was crossing her line. Now, then, it was time to bring it out.
“I think some of the things I just listed went a little too far.”
“Heh. Too much? My user information is not as valuable as yours. There are no gold coins. Ability. is it so. Although I may say it with my own mouth, my skills are good. But not as much as you. Free volunteer work is the same. Slave contract. There are many restrictions in the contract that cannot be established between users. Let me be straight. Even if I join your group like this, that action can never be used as a means of paying the price. To you, I am a user that you can either have or not have.”
“Why are you belittling and belittling yourself like that?”
“This is reality, this is the truth. and… .”
Jeong Ha-yeon, who had been speaking quickly for a while, paused for a moment. Her eyes and mine intertwine in the air. Eventually she let out her breath with a sad look on her face and opened her mouth at the same time.
“… “Because I need you.”
I opened my mouth in a disappointed voice as I finally saw her revealing a little of her inner self.
“The price cannot necessarily be that. “I wanted your sincere trust and confidence.”
“You are trying to make me into a shameless woman until the end. I still can’t forget that time. You said you would protect those you care about, and I couldn’t help but be surprised when
“Trust and confidence are not something that can be created in an instant. There’s a sense of urgency, and I don’t think you know that. “What on earth do you really want to say?”
That’s what she said, but deep down I had a rough guess as to why she was suddenly acting like this. Simply put, she is traumatized by what happened then. But my presence shook her trauma, and she was now at a loss. I’m scared, but I want to hold on. Those feelings were making her impatient right now.
“To you, the existence of user Jeong Ha-yeon is worthless. Then, in the end, there is only one thing left.”
“User Jeong Ha-yeon.”
She responded to my words in a low voice.
“Jeong Ha-yeon as a woman, not as a user. “This is the only value I have left to give you.”
After listening to her words, I stared at her with cold eyes. She was looking at me with eyes that didn’t seem to waver in the slightest. There was silence for a moment, and I immediately got up from my seat.
“Of course, I am a man before I am a user, and I like women. There is also a basic s*xual desire. however.”
After a pause, I continued speaking in a disappointed tone.
“I’m not someone who mixes with random women for no reason.”
“I didn’t mean it that way… .”
I knew he didn’t mean it that way. But she still couldn’t give me the answer I wanted. Before she even finished speaking, I turned around. And he added one word.
“I’m disappointed that this is all it is. “I’ll just head back.”
And that moment.
“I am… !”
As I was about to walk towards the door, her low cry stopped me.
“… “Do you think of me as the kind of woman who mixes with random men?”
At her crying words, I sighed and turned around.
“Your words were certainly misleading. “I know you’re not that kind of girl, but honestly, it’s embarrassing for her to do this all of a sudden.”
At my conclusion, she looked up at me with a conflicted face. But the conflict did not last long. After a short period of time, I could see her mouth slowly opening.
“Yujeong said I don’t know you very well, but I know you relatively well. While helping the kids with their training, I always listened to your stories. You are so similar to him. In a rite of passage, I became a leader and led people. Gaining children’s trust. Won first place in the User Academy. And I also received an offer from the Golden Lion Clan. But when you turned down their offer and started being with the kids, his and your paths changed.”
“So you think of me as his replacement?”
When I pointed out the questionable part, Ha-yeon Jeong quickly shook her head.
“no! but… I am now tired of being fooled and deceived by hole planes. Also, I couldn’t deceive others. I could do it if I wanted to, but I didn’t want to do the thing I despise the most. So I decided then. “I will not deceive others and I will not be deceived.”
That’s why her tendencies were like that. After solving one question, I turned around and stood next to her. Then she placed her forehead lightly on my chest and continued her words.
“but… User Kim Soo-hyun is different. There’s something different about it from the users of Hol Plain. Maybe I’m at my limit now. I felt that way after
“… That’s right.”
Hayeon, who was pressing her forehead against my chest, slightly raised her head and looked up at me. I also responded to her gaze and lowered her gaze further. Then he lifted her right hand and gently stroked her hair. She closed her eyes as if savoring my touch. However, her mouth did not stop.
“Honestly, there are still questions remaining. If I had that much power, I wouldn’t have let Jiyeon die. No, it wouldn’t have been possible. But I won’t ask you. “I will just bury it in my heart like this.”
“I can fully answer that part.”
“There are some things I vaguely heard from the kids before, and there are some things I just guess about. And there are also parts that I saw with my own eyes. I can’t hear it from you, but I decided to think about it that way. I’m tired of being deceived, and I’m afraid of being hurt by it. But I am also a woman. “I was feeling shaken after losing my younger brother, who I trusted and depended on.”
“So you’re saying that you can calm yourself down by leaning on me?”
She nodded quietly to my question. After seeing that reaction, I forcibly pulled her face back into my arms, and she obediently buried her face in my chest. And at that moment, I had a deep smile on my face.
I’m sorry, but she made another mistake. Honestly, I couldn’t have expected Jeong Ha-yeon to turn out like this. This was my first time hearing her inside story. However, it’s not bad. There is no need for ambiguous faith or the possibility of trust in me today. If I embrace Jeong Ha-yeon now, my relationship with her will definitely take a further step forward.
There is nothing that pricks my conscience. After witnessing their deaths, I abandoned all that and chose to come back. And for them, I could do anything without hesitation. Feeling something itching in my chest, I took a deep breath and quietly opened my mouth.
“This also seems like the way a wizard thinks.”
“… I see. Because I can give you faith, and at the same time find stability for myself. I need a place to rest and lean on. Everything I said today is with the utmost trust I can show you. so… .”
She lifted her butt off the chair and gently climbed up my body. Her outstretched arms gently wrapped around my neck, and she hugged me with her body and opened her mouth.
“Tonight. “I hope Soo-hyeon repays my trust.”
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello. This is Ro Yujin.
Originally.
“I just opened the door and walked down the hallway. “I could hear Jeong Ha-yeon crying behind me, but I didn’t care.”
I was trying to go to. But I feel like I’ll be in trouble if I do that… . ㅜ.ㅠ
Anyway, I hope readers will sympathize with why Hayeon did what she did in episodes 111 and 112. And this episode… I confess that there is also a little bit of
『Reripple』
1. Rororororap: Congratulations on first place. 🙂 When I saw the nickname, Lollipop immediately came to mind. ha ha ha.
2. Let’s defeat the monster
Episode 41: Yes. This is the correct answer. However, his basic magic power is much higher than Anhyeon’s, so even though he obtained Secret Class, his rise rate is not that high.
Episode 48: As you can see from the ranking, it is a high-level ability that cannot even be compared. The eyes of temptation cannot even follow the tip of the third eye. 🙂
Episode 83: This is literally advanced applied magic that goes beyond basic magic. Examples include reverse and overlap.
Episode 84: That’s because I skipped a lot of parts. If you watch episode 85, you will understand.
3. ghdtjdrud: He is a rather pitiful child. Although he is strong on the outside, on the inside he is a child who cannot overcome the pain of that time. ㅜ.ㅠ
4. GradeRown: You are almost right. ha ha ha. That’s why power is so scary. Because it changes people.
5. Idriyan: Eh. You can leave out the (go) character in front of it. ha ha ha. please. Please take it out. ㅜ.ㅠ
6. Blamy: Hehehe. That’s a good idea too. Please look forward to seeing what happens to them in the future.
7. Ringing Soul: I don’t really like NTR either. At least in the novel, the women around the main character will not experience such a thing.
8. Human life: Haha. Thank you. But who is Unhyeon? ?blanket?
9. Dreaming Flower Garden: Hehe. Thank you. >3< 10. Purple: Aha. okay. First of all, the basic city settings are all set. ha ha ha. I will definitely upload it within episode 200. Maybe cities will go up soon. Your recommendations and comments become the driving force of Yeoncham. (This is the truth.) I always read all the comments over and over again (especially today). I hope you don’t feel too disappointed that it’s not on Riripple. If you have any questions, please send me a message and I'll answer! Well then, I will leave for today. I hope you can always read my writing with a comfortable mind. Selection, recommendations, comments, criticism, and questions are always welcome. fantasy,
