Chapter 79 – The Good Boy (6)

Good boy (6)

“You haven’t forgotten what we talked about yesterday, have you?”
“… “
“No one knows unless you tell me.”
“…”
“So I will ask you one last time.”

… Are you scared or not scared?

The atmosphere changed so seriously in an instant and his face came closer.

Cha Ha-yeon stuttered his words, avoiding the eyes of Han Se-gye, who stared at him and asked.

“… Joe, a little bit.”
“Look at that. Because it seemed so.”

After hearing the answer he wanted, the face of Han Segye quickly moved away again.

The tone of his voice rose again in an instant, as if the serious atmosphere just now had been a lie.

Thanks to this, Cha Ha-yan’s eyes, which had blinked like an idiot, narrowed again.

“Uh-huh—don’t open your eyes like that again, could you please close your eyes now? You have to go to bed and go to the bathroom soon.”

However, a small laugh that I couldn’t hold back leaked out at his shameless words.

Swoop-

Cha Ha-yan, who had moved closer to Han Se-gye, looked up at him with a mischievous smile.

“What if I can’t sleep because I’m still a little scared?”
“… What else do you need besides such an elaborate horse partner?”
“Ummm- she told me things like why ghosts can’t appear on the internet and why vampires can’t appear. Ah—the reason why there are no demons.”

Han Se-gye, who heard Cha Ha-yan’s chatter, let out a deep smile.

… It’s Cha Seol-hee.

Han Segye, who had recited that, looked down at Cha Ha-yan with the same smile and continued.

“They are really special sisters. Don’t you usually think of something else on purpose? Something other than a scary thought—a cute animal like a puppy or cat—”
“Wow—cat. The first thing I wanted to do when I really became independent was to raise a cat. I couldn’t grow her because my mom really hated having hair blown in her house.”
“Ah—I know roughly what it feels like.”
“Mr. Han Se-gye, do you have any animals you’ve been raising?”
“No. There is no such thing as an animal that I raised.”
“Then, Han Se-gye, which do you prefer, a dog or a cat?”
“Uh- really between a dog and a cat?”
“No, then it’s a real dog and cat, are there fake dogs and cats too?”

A slightly furrowed brow and round eyes prompting an answer.

Han Segye looked down at those eyes and replied with a faint smile.

“… Then puppy.”
“Why?”
“I’ve never had one, but on the internet, I heard that cats treat the person who feeds them as a friend rather than an owner? They feed you every meal and give you a house, but the owner doesn’t even know you’re a little bit—”
“And… The reason is too calculated.”
“I did not know? Raising animals is all about money. Of course I have to be calculating in spending my time and money.”

Han Se-gye lowered his head a little more to Cha Ha-in, who was listening to him, and frowned at his face as if teasing him.

“And this conversation is all calculated. Calculations that make you imagine cute animals instead of half-faced zombies and zombies without limbs.”
“No, then you can just say yes. Why do you think about it again?”
“Well—who said it was calculative?”

Foot-!

Han Se-gye and Cha Ha-yan looked at each other and laughed at the same time, regardless of which one came first.

Toduk- Toduk- Toduk-

A small laugh like the sound of comfortable breathing that permeates a tiny space filled with only the light sound of rain.

As if in response to that smile, Cha Ha-yan smiled wider and narrowed the distance with him, who was already close.

“Then which do you prefer, reptiles or fish?”
“Um—I hate both.”
“Why?”
“Don’t you both recognize the owner?”
“Wow – you really are consistent.”

It was always raining.

If you think you have to go outside where those water droplets are soaking you, you have to look for an umbrella with a furrowed brow, but–

Looking at it from a little distance, there is no sound that soothes and soothes the mood as these drops of water.

Todok todok – clear voices seeping into each other like raindrops hitting a window.

A small laugh leaked out sparsely and the sound of a blanket brushing against bare skin.

“…”

Han Se-gye chatted for a long time after that, and at one point quietly looked at Cha Ha-yan, who had fallen asleep.

Maybe it’s just a cot full of quiet breathing sounds that are so cold white.

“…”

He checked Ha-yeon, who was completely asleep, and turned her head to stare out the window at her again.

Toduk – Toduk –

Unlike yesterday, raindrops pounding on the window, which has slowed considerably.

I closed my eyes quietly listening to the sound of the rain.

The long rain that had soaked the university for three days had stopped.

***

Brilliant sunlight that suddenly shines through closed eyes.

I quietly opened my eyes feeling the softness of the bed wrapping around my left shoulder.

“New fluid—new fluid—”

And the warm touch leaning on my back and the light wind tickling my back repeatedly.

I slowly got up, feeling the white hair tickling my back whenever the wind blew.

“Mmmm

The whining that echoed as soon as the back I was leaning on disappeared, and the loud sound of flesh rubbing against the futon.

The whining that had been going on for quite a while came to an abrupt end.

“… Ugh-!”

I laughed lightly as I heard the sound of the futon being hurriedly gathered behind my back.

I took out my sweatpants from the wire hanger I had hung on the window sill the day before and looked through the clothes that were lying around.

Her bustier, her one-piece dress still hanging on her hanger, the new training clothes she had given her – and even the monotonous design of the underwear.

Took-!

I tapped the bustier dress hanging on the window sill with my index finger and turned my head.

“Today, instead of a training suit, wear this.”
“… Why?”

Cha Ha-yan, who had already wrapped herself in the blanket again, looked up at me.

I shrugged her shoulders at her question and pointed out her window.

“Look out the window. The rain has stopped now.”
“… What does that have to do with this?”
“There’s something better about a clear day like this than a dull overcast day. I have a hunch that I can go back to the library today.”

In response to my answer, Cha Ha-yeon, who was looking at me and the bustier dress, shook her head proudly.

“You don’t like it? I want to wear a tracksuit today?”
“… It’s a chaseolha.”
“Suddenly, why is that name—wait a minute. Is that what you were cursing at me all this time?”
“Huh. Didn’t you say it was revenge for not calling your brother-in-law in the first place?”
“… Yes, Mr. Han Se-gye.”
“Yes, Chaseolha.”
“One world.”
“Chaseolha.”
“One world.”

A lively face that calls my name to the end as if it would never lose.

I quietly looked at that face and turned around with a faint smile.

“Yes, quickly put on a dress or training suit and get out of bed.”

Drip-!

I pushed through the chair barrier that I had already crossed yesterday and took out my backpack from my inventory.

As usual, I placed a chocolate bar and a half-remaining bottle of water on the table and sat down on a chair. Ha-yan Cha, dressed in a tracksuit, hurriedly walked out of the partition.

Thud- thud-

The soft clanging of shoes and the soft sound of a chair dragging itself back.

Ha-yan Cha, who sat quietly, started a simple breakfast.

Rustle –

A small noise came from her slender hands as she opened the bag.

Tok-!

Watching her open her dainty mouth and chewing on her chocolate bar, Cha Haein naturally focused her eyes on me.

“How about Han Se-gye?”
“… I said yesterday that I eat beforehand—”
“Lie. You didn’t even have time to eat today.”

A fierce frown as if scolding me.

She glared at me with a face that didn’t feel intimidated at all, then she took another bite of her tok-chocolate bar and stood up.

“Ah-.”
“…”
“Ah-.”
“…”

Her I looked up and opened her mouth slightly.

Tok-!

In my mouth like that— half of the chocolate bar that came in.

“You can get sick, so chew thoroughly. And-“
“…”
“Don’t forget to drink some water.”

Took-!

I was handed an open bottle of mineral water that was sticking out all the way.

“…”

Then, Cha Ha-yan quietly looked down at me.

As if she was checking something, she quietly drank the water from the mineral water bottle.

Cha Ha-in, who confirmed me who drank the bottled water like that, nodded her head and accepted the bottle of bottled water.

She carefully closed the lid and began to clean up after herself, putting away her bag.

With her skillful movements, she quickly tidied up the leftovers in the room, zipped her bag, and handed me the bag, just like yesterday.

“…”

I hurriedly ate the remaining chocolate bar in my mouth and quietly took the bag and put it in my inventory.

“Ummm—then shall we go now?”

Her calm question, after wielding a lot of fuss.

I finally nodded her head at her, letting her little laugh that I couldn’t contain.

…

Iron-!

Puddles of water soaking the hem of his pants were scattered in all directions.

But clothes that don’t get wet anymore and the clear sunlight that warmly wraps the top of your head.

“Kieh!”

I greeted with a smile as I looked at the zombies who warmly welcomed us as usual.

And the warm body temperature of Cha Ha-yan, naturally wrapped up in my body by the roar of the zombies.

I murmured to her quietly, feeling her wrist on her tea white tightly crossed my neck.

“Close your eyes.”

Completely opposite instructions from when I first encountered the zombies.

“…”

However, Cha Ha-yan buried his face deeply into my shoulder without saying anything.

“Kieh!”

I checked that she had her eyes closed, and then I glanced over at the zombies that had reached me.

No, staring at the back of the countless zombies, she lowered her small knee as if giving her a rebound, and sent one arm behind her to pin her down.

I guess dragging zombies all the way to the library isn’t such a good idea, so I’ll have to run around a bit and go back.

Took-!

***

Took-! Took-! Took-!

Two legs striding across the floor as if repeating a long jump.

“And-“

I stared in front of Cha Ha-in, listening to her admiration as she returned to the library after a long time.

The first floor of the library is protected by a vehicle barricade and a double barricade that connects the teacher’s college and the library.

Fortunately, I picked up my speed faster, scanning the entire library, which was not much different from when I left.

Wedge love liquid-!

“Ugh-!”

Hee, startled by her speed, the sound of Cha White’s breath as she hurriedly closed her open mouth.

Took-! Took-! Took-!

I went straight to the rooftop, stepping on the outer wall of the library, not on the first floor.

The roof of the library, which was reached with both feet in just four steps.

“Really, if you tell me in advance so that you can prepare your mind for this kind of thing, where is it?”

As soon as I got off, I smiled as I looked at Cha Ha-in, who hurriedly calmed her trembling arms and legs.

“Isn’t there more important mental preparation left than that mental preparation?”
“…”
“The family reunion I dreamed of so much is right around the corner.”

Took-! Took-!

“Smooth out some wrinkles in your clothes, and tidy up your hair properly.”

Shaking off Cha Ha-in’s sweatshirt lightly, she hurriedly tidied up her tousled hair at her words in her brain.

“Are you ready, Cha Seol-ha?”
“…”

Cha Ha-yan nodded with her lips tightly shut with her hair neatly tidied up.

I responded to her with her faint smile and nod, then opened the iron door on her rooftop.

Awesome profit!

Even though it’s not that long, the stairs and the lounge that feels quite awkward.

After making eye contact with mine, I waved my hands lightly at the camp members who stood up in surprise.

Carefully, the sound of footsteps following me led me to the first reading room, Cha Seol-hee and my bedroom.

Whoa-

Ha-yan Cha, who naturally realized that this was his destination, took a deep breath.

I slowly opened the door to her bedroom, feeling the overflowing tension and trembling in the tea white.

Awesome profit!

A welcome face that quietly raises its head in the spacious bedroom at the sound of the iron door slowly revealing the inside and the door opening.

Seolhee Cha stood up from her seat, missing the book she was holding on the table by the window.

“… Sister.”

Her pupils, who were trembling as they looked at me when I returned, followed the longing voice.

Cha Ha-yan walks slowly forward from behind me.

As if waiting anxiously for someone to come—

Cha Seol-hee, who was standing by the window where she could see the farthest place, started running forward without hesitation.

The water droplets that had already passed her eyes and fluttered in the wind, and the bloodless hand that tightly hugged the tea white that had approached her before she knew it.

“Black-black black-“

The crying leaked out of her trembling lips, and the earnest eyes that quickly swept her sister while sweeping the tea white without rest.

Cha Seol-hee hugged Cha Hayan tightly as if she would never let go again.

“… My sister-“

The shoulders of the sisters who were holding each other as if they were about to break were shaking too fast.

No, Seolhee’s arm, which was holding onto Cha Ha-in’s back, was also trembling excessively, so her overwhelming emotions overflowed her sister’s body.

“… Black- White- White-“
“Sister yi— black black black—”

Cha Seol-hee and Cha Ha-yan call each other with sad faces.

Cha Seol-hee, who had been stroking Cha Ha-in’s cheek with her trembling hand, quietly returned her gaze.

I take a step back and enjoy the reunion of the thrilled sisters.

Tea Seol-hee, who looked at me like that, shed tears again from her bloodshot eyes, as if to express her overflowing gratitude.

“… Thanks- thank you- thank you so much, really, really-.”

Thank you for expressing your gratitude over and over again without being able to finish your words easily as if your throat is choking.

I looked at Seol-hee’s tear-stained face like a child and lightly shook her head.

“… What am I The hard work was done by our white teeth.”
“…”

While gently patting Cha Seol-hee, the image of Cha Ha-yan’s shoulders slightly shaking came into view.

“… “

Without saying a word, Cha Ha-yan looked back at me with a tear-stained face just like Cha Seol-hee.

The awkwardness and unfamiliarity in her eyes as she looked at me without even realizing it.

I looked at Cha Ha-yan’s big eyes, which blinked several times, and stared beyond them for a moment.

The sky shines so blue that the rain that fell like a hole in the sky is colorless.

After a day where everything was hazy, the clear sunlight shone on us.

As if blessing the reunion of sisters, the bright sunlight warmly embraces them.

I see Cha Ha-yan’s face shining brighter than ever before—

He smiled warmly at the unfamiliarity in his eyes.

“You’ve worked hard, Cha Ha-yan.”

As a brother-in-law.

Good kid.
