Chapter 752 – #160_Let’s Stop Now (5)

#752

One.
Sharon, who was walking aimlessly, found herself strolling around her Sinchon neighborhood.
As she moved her steps to a familiar place, she came within the radius of her life where she was with Siwoo.

Loud noises and lights greet Sharon.

“Here….”

It was a villa village slightly away from the main street, and it was also the location of Sharon’s rooftop room.

Sharon was contemplating whether to go around somewhere else as if she had bumped into a barrier.

However, after she cries, she feels a little relieved, which she will have to get used to in the future.

Above all, she cannot live like this forever.
Didn’t the huge amount of debt reappear right away?

First of all, she should diligently expand her radius to subdue the homunculus with Seoul as her base.

“Okay, what’s wrong?”

Sharon, who put aside her breakup issues for a while and squeezed out positive energy, bit her lip and took her step forward.

This place is still there.

Old-fashioned buildings and long-established stores that don’t match the word “Street of youth”. A villa with the 1st and 2nd floors as commercial areas.
People who are full of energy until this late night. Loud laughter emanating from the emotional tavern with open windows.

As I entrust my body to something familiar, I feel as if positive energy is springing up.
In the old days, they wandered around these alleys, searched for homunculus, and put up flyers….

It was also a course for Sharon and Siu’s night walk.
After she met him, she joined in tracking the homunculus and attaching flyers, which she had always done alone.

“…….”

Sharon, who inadvertently hurried her steps, saw a signboard and stood tall.
It was a signboard that said, “I will steam snow crab, king crab, and lobster. Takeout available.”

Sharon, who found a king crab shop with thick steam, looked at it devastatedly.

This is the first restaurant where Siwoo bought food from Sharon in exchange for her advice on life in this world.
Thanks to that, she said that she ate over 50,000 won for a meal for the first time in 10 years since she came to this world.
After that day, Sharon’s favorite food became king crab.

Maybe it’s because the days are getting colder, but it’s still a success.
The savory smell of crustaceans warming her stomach made her nostrils tingle, even if it were smoke.

“Chew, the difficulty level is too high right from the beginning….”

She thought she made up her mind and came out, but she felt like shedding tears already.
However, if her resolve is broken to this extent, it is certain that she will one day run towards Si-woo like an idiot.

After that, the same situation will be repeated again.
Alas, if she were to stand in front of him again, she would be Sharon, who was determined to be reborn at least to the 21st hierarchy.

“No, what are you talking about…. It’s over now.”

With a feeling of not going back, I spat out a lot of harsh words.
Even thinking about the slightest possibility of returning to him at a later date is a selfish act.
How is it different from an immature child threatening to break up and begging for more love?

Shaking her head violently to dispel her thoughts, Sharon hurried her heavy steps.

When she came out of her villa village and came out to the street of her youth, her street became much cleaner.
A familiar building appeared.

It was a department store where a homunculus appeared and caused a commotion.
It was the first danger Sharon faced in her witch life.

She was chased and chased by that huge mother dog and ran to the roundabout, and in the end, Siu, who showed his wit, collapsed the building and subdued it using its load.

At that time, I was really scared as if my lifeline was going to burn, but looking back, I think it was kind of fun.

“… Think of Siu again.”

Actually, it’s harder not to do it.
Because there is no place on this street that has not been with him.

Every time Sharon’s eyes reach the street where they are reunited after a year, her memories bloom one by one like a mirage.

For example, in the food corner on the B1 floor of a department store on that street corner, two people holding bags full of their hands after shopping.

‘Today I will cook. Even though it’s a milk kit!’
‘Then I’ll wash the dishes.’
‘No no, instead of staying at your house, I decided to do the housework.’
‘Ah, but how can I make it only for you?’

After seeing Sharon jumping up and down on Siwoo’s back, the image of her back blurting out as they chatted together.

For example, a store where the two of you took a photo of a sticker.
I always kept an eye on it because of the flashing orange lights and loud music, but the shocking price of 5,000 won for a picture made me just looking around.

‘Wow, Siwoo, your eyes look really big.’
‘What are you afraid of, your eyes are half your face?’
‘Can I take a picture of them kissing?’

With a big heart, Sharon opened her wallet, but I remember that she laughed a lot because the correction was strangely exaggerated.

Five thousand won was not a waste at all.
Because it was a happy time worth 50 million won.

For example, that arcade on the third floor.

‘I’m better than I look?’
‘Ahem! Then! After all, I played a lot of tennis when I was an apprentice witch.’
‘Is it possible to play another game?’
‘I learned a lot. Please do something, sister, if you say so, I’ll do it!’

Whenever I was bored, I used to come and make bets while playing darts or air hockey.

Most of the time, Sharon won, but looking back, Siwoo must have always looked out for Sharon.
His dynamic vision and physical ability would be far superior to Sharon’s, otherwise the win rate would have converged to 0%.

For example, that snowflake shaved ice house.
I often order delivery for other foods, but I always visit the store for dessert, shaved ice.
That ice is more crunchy and the shape is pretty.

‘Will you stop? The part-timer has been watching it since before.’
‘You’re watching me because I’m so pretty, so if you don’t want to be taken away from me, why don’t you suit me well?’

Sharon was stubborn and always fed Siwoo shaved ice, and he was conscious of the gazes around her every time and didn’t know what to do.
It seems that she continued to be strangely stubborn because she was cute that way.

“… Shall we eat shaved ice? Reminiscing about the past after a long time.”

As if telling a nasty joke, as if suggesting someone who should be right next to you.
Said Sharon.

“It’s a pity that the department store is closed, but I pass, bet at the game center over there, and take a photo of the sticker… If that’s the case…. I really hope. Is not it?”

Sharon bit her lip to hold back her tears at the answer she couldn’t hear of course.

Sharon turned her back as if running away, as her bitter scent became so thick on the street that had become a bundle of memories before she knew it.

2.
Newly built officetel right in front of Sinchon train station.

It was a building with a convenience store where Sharon had worked part-time for a long time, and it was also the place where the newlyweds’ room was.

That is why even the space on the first floor waiting for the elevator was a place with a story.
Because it is the place where Siwoo proposed to live together when Sharon, who had been kicked out due to the demolition of an illegal building, was crying on the first floor stairs.

“Let’s stop trembling, Sharon.”

Again, it’s something you have to get used to.

He concentrates the pain of broken heart that he has been thinking about for a long time as an attribute, endures it, and finds a new life.
Didn’t you come back to Sinchon, an officetel full of memories with Siu for that?

Sharon patted her on the cheek and pushed her elevator button until she came to her senses.
She steps in, hearing the door lock number that has not yet been changed and the familiar sound of the dial.

“Wow, is it better than I thought?”

I was somehow happy.
She was prepared to end up with a very desolate, empty room, but it’s hardly different from when she lived.
When she thought about it, she heard that this mansion felt like a safe house that was rented to Siu in my own mansion.

It is only natural that it is managed with furniture and daily necessities filled.

“As expected, the house is comfortable.”

In fact, even if it is a newly built officetel, each room is mediocre compared to the annex of the Jemonai Mansion, which is comparable to a five-star hotel.

Still, the low ceiling, the familiar wallpaper, and the night view out of her window were so welcoming that Sharon hummed her song and threw herself on her couch.

Here she was watching a movie together with popcorn and beer and kissed her sideways towards the end.
She did more than that sometimes, no she did quite often.

“…….”

I feel weird.
It gets better, then it gets worse, and then it gets worse.
She seems to have become manic-depressive.

“Let’s go to sleep.”

Okay.
It’s because I haven’t slept for too long.
Now that Siwoo is safe, the only thing left to do is stretch out his feet and sleep comfortably.

Wash yourself lightly like that.
I remember the moments when I used to shower with Siwoo while washing my body.

Lie down on the bed the two of you shared.
Lying on the bed, I inadvertently bury his nose in case there is any smell of Siwoo left on the pillow.
Of course, there was no body odor left.

“Hey….”

Sharon’s shoulders shook as she buried her face in her pillow.
The trembling, which was calm at first, quickly swayed like a wave in a storm.

“I…. You’re a liar… !”

At the end of each sentence, for Siwoo’s sake, she puts in her mouth that he can be happy without her.
As if he was considerate of him, he shrugged off hypocrisy as if all decisions were for Siwoo.

But in fact, that’s not all.
It was just a plausible packaging so that shallow hypocrisy would not be revealed.

Sharon’s choice clearly contained not only her heart for Siwoo, but also her selfishness.

Because the person you love so much is always in danger.
It’s so painful to watch every time that happens.
Because you have to look at your own helplessness that you can’t do anything.

It was hard.
Exhausted
Every day was like swallowing hot coals.
As much as I fell in love with Siwoo more and more, those moments were tougher than hell.

So I decided in a fit of anger that it would be better to break up.
Wouldn’t it be painful if something like this happened if you stopped loving Siwoo? He must have had an idea.
She said she would be happier without her and ran away with the miserable Jajo Yang, the heroine of the tragedy.

I didn’t know that not having Siwoo by my side would be such a painful thing.

I never thought he would fill his life like this.
He had no idea that leaving the position would be so difficult.

It wasn’t enough that he was weak, and the way he tried to find a good reason for breaking up was so unsightly.

“Ahh! After… ! Siwoo… ! Miss you…. I miss you, haaaaang!”

Sharon, who was sobbing at her neck, snuggled into her pillow and fell asleep.
