Chapter 24 – Why Was She Naked in the Hallway Then?

In an instant, my body trembled without realizing it.
It seems like who Lee Seo-ha is.
If I had gone my own way, I wouldn’t have been suspicious at all.

Fortunately, the day is dark.
I wonder if the owner of the voice is definitely Yoon Si-hoo.

In fact, if you listen to the owner of that voice, it may not be.
If he knew that I was a woman, he would run to the school office without any regrets and reveal the truth.
But maybe it wasn’t confirmation right now, his voice was full of doubts.

“…Is not it?”

It was fortunate.
Probably because I didn’t stop walking.
The story might have been different if I had noticed that he flinched the moment his name was called.

On the street during a fairly dark spring evening.
Recognizing such a small movement of a person is actually a very difficult task.
Maybe if you’re a crazy regressor like Kim Joo-won.
No matter how much he was a guardian, there was no way that a little kid who had just entered school could do something like that.

‘It’s over if I just walk like this.’

I could feel the distance with Yoon Shi-hoo gradually getting farther away.
But you can’t be at ease like this.
If it’s Yoon Shi-hoo, it’s like the first time.
Perhaps in order to turn his doubts into certainty, he will knock on my room again.

‘I’ll have to buy it later.’

Mixed in with the crowd, I naturally enter the alley.
A two-dimensional space was opened.
At this distance, you wouldn’t be able to reach my room simply by swimming through the space.
I’ve been practicing for a while, but I decided that it was my first time to use dimension transfer, which I had little use for.

“Whoa.”

I caught my breath, took a destination to my room, and sent myself to my room.
Leaving my body in the long stretched blue aisle, I felt as if I was being sucked into somewhere.
In an instant, the surroundings changed to my dorm room.

Then it was a race against time.
Yoon Shi-hoo’s ability is to control the wind.
Even among the same Awakened, if you recall that there is a huge difference in movement speed depending on the ability.
He’ll probably get to my room fairly quickly.

I quickly took off my top and started wrapping my breasts in bandages.
Unlike usual, meticulous and relaxed, if you don’t have time, wear it loose enough to cover it up.
But unlike wearing a full school uniform.

“It’s just a girl…”

No matter how you wear it
Even when wearing a boxy tee, the chest that seemed to rise slightly and the hips that was not covered could not be answered.
If I wore a cardigan like before, it would cover it somehow.

I don’t know.
There is no other way to think otherwise.
After hiding all the clothes I was wearing, I put on a thin coat, albeit awkwardly.

“Oh, what the hell is this?”

I slumped down in my chair.
Anxiety started creeping into my heart.
Because I’m wearing this right now.
Will Yoon Si-hoo, who already has doubts about me, not know that I am a woman?

In fact, I know that my men’s clothes are somewhat precarious.
If you look at it without thinking, it just looks like a man.
If you look carefully at the thin line that runs from the nape of Lee Seo-ha’s neck with a question.
Doubts will soon turn into doubts.

I made up my mind.
I thought that my precarious men’s dressing up would end now.
It wasn’t anyone else, it was Yoon Shi-hoo who was completely responsible.
Maybe that day, I went out in the hallway naked and came out as a trigger.

‘Kim Joo-won, you fucking bastard.’

Rather than sticking next to the main character.
In a world without a protagonist.
Would it be right to survive in Honghwa and see the end of the world somehow?
Lee Seo-ha’s curves reflected in the mirror were particularly resentful today.

“Ehh.”

I sighed in frustration.
So far there has been no response from the door.
Sooner or later he will arrive.
Then look at me now and change doubt to certainty.

Ding-dong-.

How long have you waited so patiently?
In terms of experience, a meme less than 10 minutes would be time.
After an eternity of waiting, the doorbell rang.

I made up my mind and got up from my seat.
Now, there will be Yoon Si-hoo outside.
The moment I open the door, he starts talking to me and then pauses for a second.

“…”

I looked down at myself for a moment before opening the door.
She was wearing a cardigan, but unlike before, I didn’t think of her as a woman.
With slender arms and legs, enough to be seen as a woman.
A line that is difficult to cover even with clothes caught my eye.

I can’t help it anymore

“Iseo… Ha?”

Opened the door.
The figure of Yoon Si-hoo came into my eyes.
The way he calls my name, stops talking momentarily when he sees me now.
I thought it was all over now.

“Won’t you come in first?”

* * *

There was an awkward air in the room.
It’s been about 20 minutes since he entered my room.
There was no exchange of words between me and Yoon Si-hoo.
They just stare at each other and just hesitate.

“Ah, thank you.”

After receiving the juice, Yoon Shi-hoo thanked me.
And the silence that came back.
He looked like he had a lot to say to me.
Maybe he was quiet because he didn’t know what to ask.

“Hey, that…”

Yoon Si-hoo took a peek at my body and closed his eyes for a moment as he swallowed his saliva as if trying to get his mind back.
I must have already leaked my secret to another guy anyway.
If there is no need to hide it anymore, it would be the right choice to just show it clearly.

“Are you asking if I’m a woman?”
“Uh.”
“Can you wait a minute?”

I got up and went to the closet.
I took out one of the regular bras that I had been quietly putting on the assumption that I would wear it someday and went into the bathroom.
When he took off his hoodie and boxy shirt, Lee Seo-ha’s upper body, only covered in bandages, was reflected in the bathroom mirror.

After removing the bandage, put on a bra and t-shirt and let your hair down.
It wasn’t Lee Seo-ha dressed up awkwardly as a man, but Lee Seo-ha, a full-blown woman, was in the mirror.

“Ah.”

So let’s go out of the bathroom as we are now
It was the first time that I properly saw myself as a woman, and Yoon Si-hoo’s sighs broke out quickly.
Hearing her bastard’s lamentation, she was somehow ashamed, and involuntarily let out a grumbling sound.

“What do you know?”
“I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“I didn’t mean to apologize.”

And it’s not a voice that I deliberately lowered for acting.
When Lee Seo-ha spoke with her natural voice, Yoon Shi-hoo’s eyes were once again colored with surprise.
He made her shut up.
…Could it be this bastard mother?

“Why, what.”
“Oh no, that’s…”
“Is this your first time seeing a girl? You’re 20. Haven’t you had a girlfriend yet?”
“…At Namjungnamgo Tech.”

That’s correct.
Hearing the truth about why he did this made me sigh, but deep down I felt pity for him.

“Anyway, that’s not important right now…”

Yoon Shi-hoo said that and glanced at my chest.
In the days when I didn’t know I was a woman, it probably wouldn’t have mattered.
After realizing that she was a woman, she seemed very concerned.

“There are so many things I want to ask…”
“You may ask.”
“Really?”
“I can’t answer everything, but.”

Okay.
You must have a lot of questions.
Starting with the fact that she entered Cheonghwa Academy as a woman.
Why did you come here while dressing as a man?
And how is your relationship with Kim Joo-won?

‘How far would you like to answer?’

Of course, I am the author of the novel on which this world is based.
I was possessed in that novel.
Kim Joo-won is the main character of the novel.
I can’t say that I’m in the middle of being badly hurt by that guy.

Why did she dress up as a man?
She seemed to be able to talk to Jin about how she ended up at Cheonghwa Academy.
If Yoon Shi-hoo decides to keep my secret like Kim Joo-won did.
From my point of view, I will also do that to get a reliable helper.

‘If not…’

He touched Sihoo’s question and lowered her gaze for a moment.

What if Kim Joo-won?
If Lee Seo-ha, now a woman, hadn’t been attractive.
Did he sexually harass me?

I don’t think so.
This horse has a demonic charm that attracts even a regressor.
That charm would be more easily communicated to Yoon Si-hoo, who had a tech similar to that of a male middle school high school in front of her.

She honestly thinks it sucks to have to fawn on the same guy
Despite being sexually harassed.
It seems like a shame that Seoha Lee’s woman should use her last name as a means to her ends.
I waited for Yoon Shi-hu’s question, determined to do so if I could stay attached to Cheonghwa.

It might be like a prostitute.
Although she may have a rag-like mind.
At least I can’t even do what I can, and I’m kicked out of the safflower.
Living a difficult life among girls who harass people intelligently was something I didn’t want to do.

“Then it was okay to ask…”

The wait wasn’t too long.
Yoon Si-hoo carefully cleared her throat to see if she had organized her thoughts in that brief moment.
Right after she made eye contact with mine, she opened her mouth cautiously.

“There you are.”

I’m simply being asked questions, so why am I so nervous?
No matter how much you prepared your mind.
Originally a character that was used as a minor role in the original work, was it because she did not know much about him?

However, this moment of tension turned out to be quite aegyo.

Some silence.
And what came out after that.

“Can I ask why you were naked in the hallway at that time?”

Because that was a difficult question to answer.
