00225 Misunderstandings lead to misunderstandings ———————————————————– —————————-=
“I’m not lying. “Please believe me.”
“Hangyeol, just a moment.”
He looked like he was about to burst into tears, so I reassured him in a soft voice. When I saw the moist eyes, I was suspicious that it was a man, but there was no way my third eye was lying. Anyway, from now on, we have to start the important behind-the-scenes work. I cleared away the meaningless thoughts that filled my head and slowly opened my mouth.
“First of all, I believe you.”
“Really?”
“okay. really. But that’s not what’s important right now. As you said, Park Hwan-hee walked on her feet, and you all survived with all your might. good. Park Hwan-hee is a two-faced user who is different from what she appears on the outside. Let’s say so. so?”
“yes?”
“So what do you want to do?”
My question was straight to the point. And I already knew the answer to that part. Because I could hear it in a conversation between Park Hwan-hee and Baek Han-gyeol a while back.
Baek Han-gyeol looked up at me with sad eyes. However, he seemed to have realized what I meant and soon answered in a low voice.
“I do not know. Even though something like that happened to me, I want to take revenge… .”
“You can’t do that.”
“… … .”
“I understand how you feel. But it’s too late to make an issue of it now. “This is Hall Plain, and more than anything, we know what Park Hwan-hee’s reputation is right now.”
One has a good reputation among instructors and is at the center of new recruits. The other one has the best potential, but is considered a mediocre user due to his reclusiveness. Of course, it is okay to have personal revenge. However, in her current state, she was fortunate not to be dragged away by Park Hwan-hee, let alone seek revenge. It may sound cruel in some ways, but this was reality. There was a huge gap between the two to overturn it now.
Once we had made you aware of reality again, it was now time to ask what you really wanted.
“What do you really want right now? “Did you need someone who would truly listen to your injustice?”
Baek Han-gyeol appeared to be thinking deeply about my words. Finally, he let out a big sigh and opened his mouth as if to pour out.
“ha. no. I don’t know.”
“Remember the first question you asked.”
“girl friend… . Yuna… .”
At my words, Baek Han-gyeol stared into space with faint eyes. Then he opened his mouth and began to reveal, one by one, what he had hidden deep inside his heart.
The content was just as I had guessed. At first, she was Cha Yu-na, who hated Park Hwan-hee as if she would kill her, but she says that she slowly began to change starting one day. Little by little, she began to open her heart to his repeated apologies and sincerity, and she said that she often wandered around by his side rather than staying by his side.
“No matter how you look at it, it looks like they broke up.”
“We had a big fight, but we didn’t break up. But she keeps asking me to become friends with Park Hwan-hee again, and she wants to be his strength.”
“Power?”
“just… . There are a lot of new people around him. “They’re telling me to come in there.”
While Baek Han-gyeol was speaking, he was constantly conscious of Kim Han-byeol. From the first time I met him, I felt like I had a strong hateful eye on him. In fact, I could understand Hanbyul’s feelings because I didn’t feel like he was being a little presumptuous.
“Even if you die soon, you don’t want to build a relationship with that guy again.”
“yes. But Yuna’s words keep bothering me. We haven’t been talking to each other lately, but that was the last time we did that. Are you saying you can’t trust me too? . We’ve been together for a few years now, and we’ve been through the same thing. “It makes me wonder if my sister was like that.”
“I can’t trust Park Hwan-hee, but I can trust Cha Yu-na.”
“yes.”
Baek Han-gyeol answered in a heavy voice. There was only quiet silence for a moment. He quietly squeezed and opened the cup and then asked me in a cautious voice.
“What do you think, brother? I also know that Yuna is there for me. We’re so angry right now that we’re not talking to each other, but I also feel a little sorry. Like my sister said, I think I’m too suspicious… .”
‘Severe condition.’
As expected, Baek Han-gyeol’s dependence on Cha Yu-na was exceeding the limit. First, it was necessary to weaken this dependence. I thought about what to talk about for a while and then I was able to choose one thing.
“Hangyeol.”
“yes.”
“Brother, can I tell you something?”
“yes! great. “I really want to hear it.”
“Do you know about the word fate?”
“Destiny. “I’ve heard the word a lot, but I’m not sure what I want to say.”
I smiled as I saw Baek Han-gyeol answer honestly. And then he started talking in a gently encouraging voice.
“I’m also a zero-year user just like you. He underwent a rite of passage six months ago and is now a lord leading a clan. And half of the clan members who are with me now are kids who went through the rite of passage together.”
“ah. that’s right! “I heard that his older brother graduated at the top of his class at the Academy and received an offer from the Golden Lion, but turned it down for the sake of his younger siblings!”
“Well, where did you hear that again?”
When I saw him with his eyes shining so burdensomely, I started sweating. After clearing my throat once or twice, I continued speaking calmly.
“I won’t say it in detail. The only thing I want to say is that they placed their trust in me and I wanted to repay that trust. And during that process, nothing happened that could crack our trust. As a result, we were able to form a good relationship. Like right now.”
“ah… .”
At that moment, I could hear a small nasal sound coming from next to me. When she turned her head, Kim Han-byeol was looking at me with her face frozen. When she tilted her head slightly, she bit her lip and looked away. I was curious why he was doing that, but since there was something important to do, I turned my attention back to Baek Han-gyeol. He was shaking his head with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was considering my words.
“Do you think you can form a good relationship with Park Hwan-hee?”
“B-But Yuna-nee… .”
“Don’t think that your girlfriend is always right. You can be the judge, she still does. Why do you keep attaching your girlfriend to your thoughts? Just because you listen to her girlfriend now, do you think you can have a good relationship with Park Hwan-hee? I don’t know what his intentions are, but can you guarantee that he won’t use you again? In my opinion, no. “Once you’ve betrayed someone, it’s even easier to betray them twice.”
“But my sister… .”
‘That bastard’s older sister. driving me crazy. ‘Are you a mother?’
Seeing that he still couldn’t let go of his lingering feelings for Cha Yu-na, I decided to speak a little more directly.
“And while we’re at it, let me just say this. “It looks like your girlfriend has already left you.”
“Oh, we haven’t broken up yet.”
“No matter what excuse you use, the body has already left. That’s an undeniable fact. No matter how long we’ve been together and even though we’ve gone through the same things… . Honestly, if I were you, I wouldn’t believe someone who left like that. Think about it calmly. Isn’t there something you will experience and feel as much as you have experienced it yourself? “Do you think what she’s doing now is right?”
Baek Han-gyeol pursed his lips, then shook his head with a helpless expression. I raised my voice more strongly towards him.
“What you should worry about now is not whether you will follow Cha Yuna’s words or not. Honestly, I don’t even know why that woman fell for Park Hwan-hee. Anyway, in that case, wouldn’t the right answer be to grasp all of her shaking inner self and awaken her?”
“But I told you not to talk to me again if you don’t want to listen to me.”
“Then it’s simple. Break up. Looking at the situation, anyone would view Park Hwan-hee with suspicion. “Rather than following her words and being used by her once again, it would be better to give up her attachment or rescue her somehow.”
“So what I’m saying is, don’t waver and stick to your will.”
“yes. She thinks that if she really cares for you, she won’t ignore what you truly say. Well, we’ll have to wait and see.”
I ended my sentence as if making a strong remark. Baek Han-gyeol did not open his mouth any more. However, as time passed, I was able to see a little more determination on his face. He probably seemed to have reconsidered his thoughts after hearing what I said. When I saw that, I was quite relieved because I thought it wouldn’t be easy to get over this. The fact that he had been my older brother for 8, or even 6 weeks, was showing its strength now.
Finally, Baek Han-gyeol seemed to have made up his mind, immediately stood up and opened his mouth.
“brother. thank you.”
“haha. “What is gratitude?”
“no. When I think about it now, it was a very unexpected comment, but he listened to me, believed me, and gave me sincere advice. If it weren’t for my brother… .”
“This is nothing. I’m glad it helped. “It says a lot.”
He burst out laughing at my words, then glanced at the door and opened his mouth.
“I want to go see my sister right now. “I think this resolution will fade over time, so I think it would be better to go and talk about it right away.”
“It’s a slightly different case, but they say there’s no tree that can’t be felled by taking ten shots. Even if he doesn’t change his mind, be persistent and tell him your true feelings. If she really cares for you, she will understand your sincerity.”
“Your brother!”
After greeting politely, Baek Han-gyeol immediately opened the door and left the dorm. Finally, just as the door was about to close completely, a cold voice echoed throughout the room.
“brother.”
“huh. huh?”
It was the moment when I was about to lie down in bed, tired after a long conversation. It’s been a while since I heard someone call me my brother, and I was taken aback without realizing it. When she turned her head, Kim Hanbyeol was still sitting in the chair, looking at me. Her face was very dark, and she seemed to be in a complex state of mind. After calling me, she hesitated for a moment, but then quietly opened her mouth.
“That kid. “Do you really believe it?”
The moment Hanbyeol finished speaking, the door was completely closed. I glanced there and answered in a louder voice than usual.
“Hangyeol? huh. Of course I believe it!”
“why? In my opinion, there are one or two strange things about what he said. “I don’t think there’s any way my brother wouldn’t know that.”
“well. I think it varies from person to person. “At least the Hangyeol I’ve known so far is not a person who will lie.”
‘ah. ‘I didn’t put any saliva in my mouth.’
I quickly smeared saliva in my mouth. And then, remembering the things she had been curious about earlier, she immediately opened her mouth to her.
“But why are you suddenly asking that? “You look a little strange today.”
“I’m just a little embarrassed. In my eyes, it’s even weirder that my brother treats a kid who’s just a new user so well. When I look at it, my grades are mediocre, and there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it. “I can’t see any place to recruit.”
“s*xual? Hanbyul. “I’m not treating Hangyeol like that.”
“sure?”
“just. Seeing them having a hard time made me feel a bit sorry for them, and I also wanted to help them. Strangely, when I looked at Hangyeol, I thought of children. Anyway, there are many reasons, right?”
It was then. The moment I finished speaking, Hanbyeol’s expression turned even colder. Her face showed unexpected disappointment, betrayal, disappointment, and disappointment. Hanbyul looked up at me with her trembling eyes, and then she continued her words in a dry voice.
“You wanted to help? “I didn’t go through any rites of passage, I just saw you for the first time at the user academy.”
“huh. yes. But strangely, I felt moved. The child is so pure and clear. In some ways, it looks similar to Sol. Anyway, I hope he doesn’t have a hard time. “I want to help you whenever you need it.”
“under… .”
“Why are you sighing?”
“Then I… . I am… . Why… .”
Kim Han-byeol, who was spitting out words with no meaning, eventually said, “It’s nothing.” He concluded his words. Then she bit his lower lip and closed his mouth. In response to her response, I shrugged her shoulders and then calmly turned to look at her and looked outside the door.
Outside, a user was detected with his ear against the door. And the moment the conversation between Kim Han-byeol and I stopped, I felt Baek Han-gyeol carefully remove his ear from the door and walk down the hallway. As I watched him gradually escape detection, I was able to smile inwardly.
*
There was an eerie atmosphere in the mountains as dusk fell. The lush trees and bushes were shaking, and a sticky wind was seeping through them. Even though it was early morning, the wind was hot. The wind, which had a subtle fishy smell inside, soon flowed sharply forward.
Ssuk, ssssuk.
At the same time, something invisible began to slowly reveal itself. Eventually, In-young emerged through the bushes and had a rather bizarre appearance.
It had a human shape, but if you looked closely, one arm was not visible. On the other side, he was holding a large, scary-looking scythe at an angle, with a slimy liquid dripping intermittently from the round, curved blade. The smell was similar to the smell in the wind.
Inyoung swung her foot and caught all of the liquid that dripped onto the floor. Soon after, the human figure broke through the bushes and emerged from behind, one after another.
“after.”
Inyoung, who first appeared, let out a short sigh and turned around. But one time she leaned heavily, and she seemed to have difficulty maintaining her balance because one of her arms was missing.
After barely gathering herself, a low voice came from Inyoung.
“How many people survived in total?”
“Seven including the captain.”
“So how many people died?”
“We sent eight people through unexplored areas. “Two people died in the battle just now.”
The voice asking the question was rough, and the voice answering was thin. There was silence for a moment. The man with the rough voice glanced at his companions behind her with a helpless look on his face.
“The eight people in front were bait anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Hyunjun, did Jinkyung get hit? “This is a bit of a waste.”
“f*ck. Captain, please take a look at us too. Everyone is completely devastated! What is this for one person? “I’m embarrassed.”
“Is that old lady injured? “Are you sure about the information they gave you?”
“That’s crazy. Who would have thought they would attack me like that? Oh, crazy. “I get goosebumps just thinking about it.”
Starting with the first swear words, dissatisfied voices broke out here and there. They came out simultaneously, and the voices of men and women were mixed together, making it difficult to tell who was who. After listening to those complaints for a while, the man in the lead let out another long sigh.
“There were things I underestimated in the first place, and there were things I let down my guard about. It could also be said that it was a mistake not to deal with it quickly. Anyway, the information was clear. Still, since he is one of the legends of the Northern Continent, I think some damage is inevitable.”
“It’s a legend. Kill kill! Godmother, that old lady’s last expression was killer. I guess I never even thought there was a traitor. “Kelkellkell!”
“But Captain, why are you suddenly moving so fast? “Didn’t you originally plan on watching a little longer?”
In response to the question of the woman who answered the first question, the man called the captain answered in a tired voice.
“It seemed like Hyunwoo Park smelled it.”
“Those guys? You were just making a mistake. “I think we could have taken a more certain opportunity.”
“no. New information has arrived. They say there are signs that the Shadow Queen will move soon. “It is said that a meeting between Mercenary Lord and Park Hyeon-woo was captured.”
The moment those words were finished, a severe commotion began to arise around the personnel behind them.
“Oh my god, f*ck. Go Yeon-joo is coming? “She really almost got f*cked?”
“why? It’s better if you come alone. Wow, that was great. My wish from a long time ago was to stick my dick in that bitch’s mouth. Giggling!”
“Crazy guy. “The Shadow Queen will come alone.”
“I was still a little anxious though. Phew, I’m glad I took care of it in advance.”
“You’ve definitely erased the traces, right?”
Among the people in the back, Inyoung, who had remained silent until now, was the first to speak. And the moment they heard those words, all the people who were talking loudly fell silent as if they had promised. As they took turns looking at each other’s faces, the man in front of her clicked his tongue and took a step forward.
“Going back again.”
“why!”
“Because she is the Shadow Queen. Some of the remaining bodies need to be thrown far away, and instead of erasing traces, there will be a need to blow up the entire place. She should have told me in advance, but she was so badly injured that she couldn’t think of it. sorry.”
“Oh, because of that f*cking bitch. Just f*cking meet him. “I will wrap you inside and grind you until you beg for forgiveness.”
“Arthur, Arthur. already… . Who was it? Anyway, there’s a rumor going around that you’ve aligned yourself with the clan lord.”
“Oh, stop it, you crazy bastard! Who is picking on who when a dog was robbed two years ago? And is she the bitch you want to f*ck?”
“Shit! It can’t be! And I can’t say anything!”
When two voices criticized at the same time, the man who was the target of criticism cried out in an oppressed voice. For a moment, boisterous laughter swept through them. The man called the captain, who had been smiling slightly along with them, quickly recovered his expression and opened his mouth in a stern voice.
“ruler. Let’s put aside Hyun-gu’s love for the Shadow Queen at this point. “Let’s all line up.”
“””””””yes.”””””””
When the man opened his mouth with a straight face, the relaxed atmosphere from just a moment ago suddenly subsided. They all radiated sharp energy and quickly aligned themselves. The man who walked between them looked up at the pitch-black night sky and opened his mouth.
“I think it would be better to leave this place immediately after clearing up the traces.”
“So are you going back there?”
“no. First, wait somewhere else. All that’s left is to hope that they do well… . “Because something might happen that you don’t know about.”
After speaking, the man quietly entered the first bush he came out of. And then, she followed behind her, leaving the rest of the group to silence the sound of her footsteps, and she soon disappeared at the same time.
Only the fishy scent of blood remained where they left. However, as it passed by from time to time, it began to fade little by little.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello. This is Ro Yujin.
it’s hot. It’s a very hot day. ㅇ<-< Even when I turn on the fan, only hot air comes out. Still, I feel a little better after taking a nap. I wish I could have cold noodles for dinner. 😀 P.S. I don’t know why Jo Ara is so slow. Is it just me? 『Reripple (Episode 223)』 1. Miwolya: Congratulations on first place. I'm just sorry for uploading episodes 224 and 225 in a strange way. (It was absolutely not intentional. ㅜ.ㅠ) 2. Office2Lub19: Office2Lub19. I'll say it again, I'm a man and Office2Love19 is also a man. I don't prefer same-s*x relationships! 3. Hyeonoh: Thank you. Thanks to Hyeon-oh, I was able to watch a good video. I was excited the whole time I was watching it. For some reason, it reminded me of my first love. T^T 4. News: For some reason, it was short, but powerful. Come ride with me. T^T 5. Game Master: Haha. Thank you for your hard work. A training camp, oh my god, a training camp! Wow! Sorry, sorry. I started vomiting right away. The weather is hot, so take it easy.(?) I'll say it again, it's best to leave the military in good health. 🙂 『Reripple (Episode 224)』 1. Oriental medicine mode: Congratulations on first place. 🙂 I think this is my first time seeing you in the first comment. haha. For some reason, the moment I saw the nickname, I thought of Siege Mode.(?) 2. Fallen Dove: Oh my. There are a few more details, but this is roughly correct. 3. lovejin: Thank you. Thanks to lovejin’s comment, I was able to receive a lot of strength. We will also pay more attention to pace control from now on. haha. Well, these days, I'm often seeing comments saying that I'm too swayed by comments. Lately, I've been wondering if I'm being too stubborn, but it's really subtle. 🙂 4. ekar: What you said about being swayed by comments touches my heart. I thought there were some areas where I was pushing forward with my own beliefs. ㅜ.ㅠ Even if it is a malicious comment (excluding personal insults, etc.), I think there is nothing to throw away the comments left by all readers. Although there are parts where I am overly confident, and there are parts where people seem to be too swayed, my first priority is to not ruin the work called Memorize and to improve it. We will try harder in the future. Thank you for your valuable advice. (__) 5. IU, Sulli, Soheeji, Youngtae, Yeonsuji: LOL. It’s a really pretty(?) nickname! Hahaha.(?) Ah, I also had that thought after reading IU Sulli, Soheeji, Youngtae, Yeonsuji’s comment. Shame on you, kid~. Your recommendations and comments become the driving force of Yeoncham. (This is the truth.) I always read all the comments over and over again. 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,
