Chapter 78 – The Good Boy (5)

Good boy (5)

A chocolate bar and a bottle of mineral water.

Ha-yan Cha calmly sat down at the table in a training suit that was still heavily damp.

“…”

Han Se-gye, who is already quietly watching himself with a very awkward attitude.

Cha Ha-yan looked at him, who did not like his posture, and opened the bag of rustling chocolate bars.

Took-!

Even while chewing on a small bar of chocolate, her eyes were fixed on her.

Cha Ha-yan held out a chocolate bar to Han Se-gye, who was looking at him with a strangely smiling face.

“Would you like some?”
“… Huh? Suddenly?”
“Yes. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Han Se-gye eat anything.”

Han Se-gye smiled at her words and waved her hand.

“I’m worried because you ate before you woke up.”
“Oh, I see.”

Tok-!

Cha Ha-yan took the chocolate bar he was holding out before he could finish his sentence.

Looking at Cha Ha-yan, who started chewing on the chocolate bar again, Han Se-gye opened her eyes wide and burst out laughing.

“What- can I ask you one more time out of etiquette?”

Fluttering—the hand that was shaking stands tall—a world that stands still and asks back.

Cha Ha-yan shrugged his eyebrows and shoulders at the same time as if imitating someone, showing a calm expression.

“Han Se-gye said you shouldn’t pretend to be nice anymore?”
“… It’s a chaseolha.”
“It’s Chahayan.”
“Then did you say brother-in-law first, Cha Seol-ha?”
“…”

Sharp puns that try not to lose a single word to each other.

In the end, Han Se-gye, who let out a small laugh first, stood up from his seat shaking his head.

“Suddenly take care of everything you need to take care of like yesterday. This time, I’m going to try to break through to the other side other than the Rock Church.”
“… Yes.”

Cha Ha-yan hurriedly drank from the water bottle at Han Se-gye’s instruction and stood up from the chair.

Just like yesterday, she packed the dress that she had hung on the window sill of the room into her bag and carefully zipped it up.

As if by magic, the bag she gave her disappeared into the air, and the Han Se-gye gently opened the door to the room.

Thud- thud-

The footsteps of the two walking down the hall again like deja vu.

Iron-!

Cha Ha-in looked up at the sky that had been pouring rain for several days to see if there was really a hole in it, then stared back at the floor of her rooftop.

There, like yesterday, a world with one knee on the ground waiting for himself.

Cha Ha-yan was slowly placed on his back in a position he was familiar with.

As soon as you cross your arms tightly around his neck, you hear your own body at once.

Iron-! Iron-! Iron-!

Cha Ha-yan lowered his face deeper into his shoulder, listening to the small sound of water droplets scattering even the sound of his footsteps.

Whee-ae-ae-ae-aek-!

Like a ride, all at once—a dizzying sense of exhaustion permeating the body as it descends.

Took-!

The small rebound of the subsequent landing followed by the roaring sound of puddle spurs again.

“Eh eh eh!”

Even the horrifying noises that followed.

“…”

Cha Ha-yeon held his trembling arm tighter and raised his head.

It’s already nuisance enough, but I couldn’t be more nuisance here.

Even though it is definitely not yesterday’s Rock Church, zombies welcome them in countless numbers.

Ha-yan Cha looked at the surroundings while biting her lips at the scenery that was not at all different from yesterday.

Poo-!

Her world as if she knew she was coming to her senses, unless they urged her on, shouting at her like it was yesterday.

A world swung to and fro, continuously swinging a gray metal pipe at approaching zombies.

Poo-!

Whenever the heads of the zombies were hollowed out, hoods — unknown liquids scattered in all directions.

Cha Ha-yeon bit her mouth tighter, feeling the sticky liquid seeping into her own face.

A thumping heart and quickened breath—and drops of water, whether rain, sweat, or blood, dripped down her cheeks to her chin.

Iron-! Iron-!

Puddles of water that pop up loudly with the slightest movement due to a very long downpour.

Once again, a world soaked in blood and rain broke through among the zombies to find a gap.

“Eh eh eh!”

However, there is a gap that I can’t find anywhere.

Just like yesterday, a world looking at the zombies forming a siege in all directions is tsk-! He clicked his tongue in a state of full emotion.

Iron-! Iron-!

In the end, the Han world turns its back and the zombies quickly move away.

“…”

Cha Ha-yeon, clinging to his body like a cicada, slowly turned her head back.

Eh eh eh!

After catching a glimpse of the zombies desperately running towards her, she buried her face in the world’s shoulder again.

Took-! Took-! Took-!

The sound of going up a building that you can still feel even when you are covering your face.

Cha Ha-yeon lifted her face buried in her shoulder as she felt her slightly slanted body return to normal.

Iron-!

Thanks to the experience that gradually accumulated, my feet on the floor no longer trembled.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha-“

The breath that had been pouring out only through the snort thanks to the tightly closed mouth only made it gasp again.

It was an unwelcome experience and familiarity for her.

Cha Ha-yan dropped himself off and looked up at Han Se-gye, who was staring at the road they had come from, with a face full of annoyance.

Chin-!

He turns his gaze to himself as he grabs the damp sleeve of his clothes, and their eyes meet.

“… Are you okay?”
“…”

Han Se-gye looks down at her face without answering her question.

He frowned slightly and reached out his hand to her face.

Swish – Swish –

I could feel the strange feeling attached to my face slowly disappearing as his hand moved gently.

However, that was not what was important to Cha Hayan.

She tugged at his sleeves tighter and spoke again.

“It’s too dangerous. Even if it’s Mr. Han Segye, everything ends the moment he gets bitten by a zombie. I hope you don’t get too close to the zombies like you did just now.”
“… So how do you make a way out? It’s not like the zombies will get out of the way on their own.”
“You can still go to the library anytime, but you only have one life. Stop doing this and help the College of Agriculture-“

Her words, which continued in a hurry, are quietly cut off by Han Se-gye’s eyes.

Han Se-gye continued by removing the zombie flesh from Cha Ha-yan’s face.

“But you can’t keep coming back to the school like this. If you keep looking through the gaps, you will come across a path that leads back to the library.”
“…”

Swoop-

As he peels off the last piece of flesh, Han Se-gye points at the iron door on the roof with his chin.

Cha Ha-yeon, still feeling her heart pounding with unresolved fear, meekly nodded her head at his instruction.

Pop-! Pop-!

Drops of water droplets on the bangs gathered in the rain, and the clothes of a world that were drenched again and spewed out water.

Cha Hae-in quietly looked at his clothes, which showed no signs of drying, and then walked to the iron gate, where she quickly followed him.

***

Pop – pop –

The sound of dripping water that would be more awkward to hear now.

A world stared alternately at the puddle that had already occupied the bottom of the chair and the mop standing on the wall.

Kik-!

The chair backs and soft cushions were already drenched in water.

Sniff-!

The moment he lowered his head slightly and sniffed his clothes, he frowned deeply—

“… Ha, Mr. Hansae-.”

Today, I heard Cha Ha-yan’s voice in bed.

“Ah, aren’t you cold?”
“…”
“If you wear wet clothes for such a long time, even if you are Han Se-gye, Joe, it seems a little dangerous…”

A delicate tone that exudes deep concern.

Han Se-gye, who had been looking beyond the partition without saying anything for a long time, soon opened his mouth with a small smile.

“… So?”
“That, and the one who suffers the most is Mr. Han Se-gye, but no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think Joe is a little bit like me.”

Cha Ha-yan’s beautiful voice trembled awkwardly as he went round and round about what he wanted to say.

“So you mean see your brother-in-law and come in under the blanket that your sister-in-law is covering?”
“Mi, are you crazy?! I-just- I covered the blanket and Mr. Han Se-gye lay on it- that’s what I meant- Ji, what are you thinking?!”

Filled with embarrassment and patting like a rapid-fire gun—excuses pouring in.

Soon, as if enjoying the reaction, Cha Ha-yan’s voice rose to the fullest at the laughter of Han Se-gye, who laughed like the sound of a balloon popping.

“It’s okay, it’s okay! I said it because I was really worried, but you’re just playing with words—if you don’t like it—”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t like it?”
“…”

Their conversation is suddenly cut off by his words leaking out quietly in the middle.

And the sound of a chair being dragged and someone walking came straight to Cha Ha-yan’s ears.

Thud- thud-

“… Uh?”

Despite her somewhat bewildered questioning, the footsteps were steadily approaching her.

Rumbling-

A blurry doll coming closer beyond the barrier line of her chair, which she had carefully lined up.

Cha Hae-in, like her instinct, pulled up the blanket she was covering more firmly and shouted at the approaching Han Se-gye.

“Thinking about it again, I don’t think this is a bit—! Everyone, please leave again, Mr. Han Se-gye!”

A muffled voice flowed from the blanket that covered half of her face.

Han Se-gye, who was looking at Cha Ha-in, whose eyes were wide open over the blanket, shrugged her shoulders with her shameless face.

“… Nope?”

Gi-Ik-!

And her eyes, which were already large, wide open as if they were about to tear at the zipper of her jacket going from top to bottom.

“Uhh-!”

Cha Ha-yan raised the blanket all the way while making a strange noise as the world casually took off her top.

“… Anyone who sees it will think she has taken off her pants and panties.”

She completely hides herself and spits out an absurd laugh as she looks at the quivering blanket.

Ugh-!

“Stop making a fuss and put the blanket down for a second.”
“…”

Compared to Cha Ha-yan, Han Se-gye’s reaction was too static.

Soon, an untimely ray of light quietly seeped into the pupils of Cha Ha-yan, who slowly lowered the blanket again.

“…”
“You have to tell me where the towel is so I won’t dry it off, you stupid idiot.”

Brilliant golden light emanating from the world that looked at her with pitiful eyes.

For some reason, Cha Ha-in stared at the far left of her, staring blankly at the light, which was too precious to be used for vision.

He only moved her pupils to the far left of her, but like a ghost, he noticed it and walked to the far left of her window.

Cha Ha-yan stared at the group of lights that came closer and chanted involuntarily.

“… And-.”

Han Se-gye, who was wiping his upper body with a towel, turned his head at the admiration that came out of his mouth.

Cha Hae-in hurriedly poured out her excuses, giggling at her eyes looking at her.

“That, that— bird, the color is so pretty… Van, like a firefly, its color…”
“Wasn’t the firefly light green?”
“… It’s just how it feels. It just needs to have roughly the same meaning.”

Aha – the feeling and meaning are similar…

Whispers of a world quietly flowing in while wiping the upper body dry with a towel.

Cha Ha-yan narrowed her eyes, which had widened at the laughter that was already permeated in his whispers.

“… Why?”
“No, he told me to stop pretending to be nice, so he swears in a very strange way.”
“… Me?”
“Uh. Fireflies look just like cockroaches when the lights go out.”
“…”
“Did you just curse at me by calling me a cockroach?”
“…”

It was the first time I knew Cha Hayan.

If it’s too unfair, you just open your mouth and don’t spit out anything.

I just expressed a little admiration, but my words were naturally blocked by the conversation that suddenly flowed strangely.

In addition, the expression of Han Se-gye, who looked down at his face and laughed as if he was enjoying himself, was naturally snarky.

Kik-!

Han Se-gye puts her buttocks on the cot as if she had fully appreciated herself.

Ugh-

Cha Ha-yan widened his eyes as he watched the golden light fading from his body.

“… Why do you only take off your top and not your pants?”
“Well, if I take off my pants here, I feel like I’m going to get caught in a trap investigation by my sister-in-law who is waiting for something?”
“…”

Kik-!

The same smile of Hansegae looking at herself while lying on the cot with both arms.

Strangely, Cha Ha-yan answered his words by biting her lips lightly in resentment that welled up more intensely.

“… You are very quick-witted, Mr. Han Se-gye.”
“You’re welcome-“
“But you’ve already crossed the line a long way, Mr. Han Se-gye—?”

At the end of the long stretch, Han Se-gye stops the first words and quietly closes his mouth.

Looking at such a world, Cha Ha-yan showed a more exaggeratedly proud expression.

“Even if I just say this to my sister, it seems like all the uproar will happen. Can you handle it? As soon as I go to the library, I will tell my sister everything!”
“…”

Initiative in the conversation as if it were the first time.

Cha Ha-yan shook his face with a savory expression as he looked at the world, which only listened to him quietly.

“… “

Contrary to her expected reaction, Hansekye moves her gaze out of her window without any objection.

The dark smile on her lips slowly faded.

Degururu, looking at the world quietly looking out of her window, the beautiful eyes of the white tea began to roll.

As if anxious, Cha Ha-in, who was constantly procrastinating her lips, belatedly added her final words.

“… No, I’m kidding.”
“Know.”

Unusually strangely, the frequency of biting his lips becomes shorter due to his subdued tone.

Swoop-

Cha Ha-yan, who unconsciously pulled her body toward him a little more, hurriedly continued.

“Hey, why are you suddenly like that? Did you think of something urgent?”
“… It just—I suddenly thought of the library.”

The time I left is getting longer, so I’m worried…

The low-pitched sound of a world flowing low.

Cha Ha-yan stared blankly at Han Se-gye’s eyes, which seemed to be looking somewhere other than outside the window.

For some reason, she couldn’t move her mouth easily at the sight.

He looked out the window with serious eyes uncharacteristic of a world, and then turned his head again.

Looking at his face, he draws a thin arc around his eyes.

“It’s getting late, so could you please close your eyes now?”

Please grow up please

Cha Ha-yan slightly frowned, feeling the concern and consideration clearly contained in his crude and dry tone.

Even herself, she couldn’t figure out why her raging heart suddenly came out.

“… Why do you keep urging me to sleep every night? Are you trying to do something bad the moment I sleep?”
“Oh, what a bad thing is. It’s just because you have to go to sleep so I can sleep too.”

Han Se-gye, looking only at himself again, laughs absurdly.

Cha Ha-yan looked at that face, squeezed the blanket tightly and asked again.

“… Why?”
“I heard everything from Seolhee. You say you can’t sleep alone at night after watching something scary like a horror movie?”
“…”
“So go to sleep while I’m awake. Anyway, even if I fall asleep first, if I’m alone, you’ll wake me up crying and crying out of fear, right?”

As Han Se-gye grinned and asked, Cha Ha-yan’s white face gradually turned red.

Ha-yan Cha, who was shivering as he gripped the blanket tighter, shook his head violently and shouted softly.

“Oh, no! That’s what your sister exaggeratedly said to Mr. Han Se-gye!”
“Hey, how many hours does a person like that toss and turn without sleeping well at night?”
“Oh, no—”
“Seolha.”

Cold water suddenly pours over Cha Ha-yan, who was burning hot.

Cha Ha-yeon quietly shut his mouth, which had been shouting at the face of Han Se-gye, who came closer to him.
