Chapter 78 – 3 Minutes

She brought her hand to her cheek where she slapped her.
She honestly wasn’t very spicy.
Of course, it wasn’t spicy from my point of view as an awakened person, although it was quite strong.

‘Cute.’

How long has it been since you saw the really innocent Seoha?
Seeing the kid who slapped me and thinking he was cute makes me feel like I’ve gone crazy.
Even so, it was just fine for now.

At that time, it is definitely not the cute and innocent Seo Ha that I liked the most.
The reason why Seoha now reacts so violently is because of the things I did.
However, taking this into consideration, the current Seo Ha is actually very mild.
Maybe even more so than Seo Ha in the 4th episode.

‘Ha, when will you come again next time.’

She won’t know how worried I was when she came home last night.
The fact that she was forcibly stunned and put to sleep was because she couldn’t stand to see her abusing herself with her broken spirit.

In fact, when she thinks about what she did to her, she knows she shouldn’t have these thoughts.
She forcibly stripped her of all her clothes in her room, and sexually harassed her outside of her.
Because all those things that I ended up raping can’t be justified no matter how I say it.

No matter how much those things were, it was because of her resentment towards her former self, Seo-ha Lee, who had been treated like a plaything by her and then finally left on her own accord.
To her Seoha, I am a trash who trampled on her existence.
Because Seo Ha of the current episode is just a pitiful victim who was helpless by me.

One day she told me
If you’re going to do it, just do one.
What you regret is why you did that.

‘It’s Seoha.’

He quietly whispered her name to himself.
She was still ashamed of the fact that she had touched my genitals, so I could clearly see her blushing face.
Do you know how to stand?
The original she was what she was.

‘She wasn’t ashamed of touching her genitals, she acted like she’d give her body away if she wanted to do what she wanted.’

At least one thing was certain.
Rather than Lee Seo-ha, who played with people while she ate alone, having lost all her past humanity, she always showed only a fishy smile.
At least even if he doesn’t show a good smile, the honest and pure Seoha now is much better.

That was the moment she quietly laughed at the thought of Seoha alone.
A vibrating sound came from somewhere.
At first, I thought it was a sound coming from a machine in the room, but the vibration I heard again made me look around the room for a while.

“I left my phone behind.”

Looking at Lee Seo-ha’s phone, which had fallen to the floor, he let out a small sigh.
What do they really look like, so they are painted like this?
What do you do when someone picks up your phone and opens it?

‘I’ll have to bring it.’

Fortunately, she left the hospital room with Seoha’s phone, which was damaged or missing a part.
It was fortunate that I didn’t have to ask the nurse to pull out the intravenous drip for a second, saying I was going out.
Also, I didn’t want to be baptized with nagging questions about where she was going.

‘I’m guessing he’ll be in the classroom by this time.’

If you don’t want to attract attention, you’d better come early.
He said that it’s still not good to move too hard, so I feel like taking a walk after a long time.
I took a pleasant step in the morning sunlight.

However, that pleasant step was right until I saw Seoha coming out of the main building of the academy with a bad expression somewhere.
In that short time.
What happened to Seo-ha, who was cute enough to slap her on the cheek and run away, in that short amount of time?

‘What.’

As if he would burst into tears any moment.
As I watched her start running from her main building to somewhere with her lips tightly closed, as if running away, my steps sped up before I knew it.
She was obviously running away from something standing up.
If left as it is, the thought that she will surely struggle alone quickly follows her.

“Kim Joo-won…?”

It was making me be in front of her before I knew it.
The surprise of how she came to know Seoha’s place was conveyed to me through her eyes.

*

Carefully stretching out her hand, Kim Joo-won carefully accepted her cell phone.
Had she been holding her tight all the way here?
I looked up at him with a warm phone in my hand, and Kim Joo-won was looking down at me with a worried expression.

“Seoha, what’s wrong?”

Then he sat down next to me and asked me carefully.
Sitting down, he carefully placed his hand on mine, which was resting on the floor.

“Why are you here…?”
“I dropped my phone, so I was going to bring it to you.”
“Are you following me?”
“I didn’t do that on purpose, I just…”

He let out a small sigh at his words.
Anyway, you’ve seen all the ugly crying.

“…Anyway, you’ve seen it all.”

Even if you show it to this guy…
I took a handkerchief out of my pocket with the other hand that was not grasped by him.
If you want to go back to the classroom, you will have to erase the traces of tears.

“Seoha.”
“Why.”
“Would you like a handkerchief?”
“Okay, what else do you clean?”
“Hurry.”

I glared at the guy asking for a handkerchief for a moment, then I had no choice but to hold out the handkerchief to that gaze staring at me.
He picked him up and carefully began to erase the tears from my face.

And I immediately understood why he asked for a handkerchief from me.
It must have been a pretty unsightly crying, because if I erased it by myself, I touched a large enough area that anyone could tell that I was crying.
As if he had already done it several times, I hoped that he would close his eyes and stay still while receiving his hands that were wiping them quite meticulously.

“Now, before going in, you’ll simply wash your face.”

When I opened my eyes at his words, I saw Kim Joo-won, who was looking at me with affectionate eyes that were a bit burdensome.
If you love me like this
Why did you treat me like that?

“Hey.”
“Huh?”
“Why did you do that to me?”

Of course I know he won’t answer.
Why the hell are you doing this to me? He’s the guy who didn’t answer even when I asked in anger.

“Well.”

Kim Joo-won looked at his head for a moment into the distance.
With an expression as if thinking of something.
Then he said, “Let’s get off work” And he called me.

“I wiped away your tears, but do you have anything to give me?”

As expected, he seemed to want to tell me that he was not himself.
He smiled as if he was looking forward to something and talked to me like a joke.

“You wiped it on your own.”
“You cleaned it anyway.”

Oh, I’ve been like that since the first time I saw him, but what the heck is this guy…
Does he know that even saying these things to me now falls under the category of harassment?

“It’s only 3 minutes. I’m still.”

However, even if I expressed my intention to reject it, I let out a small sigh knowing that I was not the kind of person who would just back down like this.
Kim Joo-won brought his face close to me, gently wrapping my shoulder, back of neck, and head with his one arm.
He didn’t want to see his face right in front of his eyes, so he closed his eyes.
Soon, he felt the touch of something on his lips, accompanied by a slightly heated breath.

However, did Kim Joo-won not intend to stop coveting my lips today?
With the other hand that was holding me, I gently poke the gap in my jacket.
He undid a couple of buttons on his shirt, slipped his hand through them, and placed his hand on his chest, which was still tightly wrapped in bandages.

“Yes.”

Did he really want to covet his bare skin?
He slipped his fingers through the bandages and began to twitch at them, as if to enjoy the feel.
The strength of the bandage was strong, so it did not reach the tip.

“Haeup-.”

As if he was sucking his lips lightly, I pressed them deeply, and then I could feel his tongue slightly sticking out between them and lightly touching my lips.
However, the time I allowed him right now is only 3 minutes.
If I allowed the tongue in a not very long time, I wouldn’t be able to make it to the lecture time because I’m trying to calm myself down.
He said he would hold still for three minutes, but this time I couldn’t open my mouth to him.

“Now take your hand off.”

As soon as the time I spoke like that passed, I cut my lips off him like a knife.
Let’s talk to the guy who still put his hand under his clothes and touched his chest with eyes full of regret.
Kim Joo-won pulled out his hand, which had been dug between my clothes.

“Joo Won.”
“Uh.”
“You know? The fact that I don’t kiss you because I love you or something.”

Seeing him nod instead of answering, I straightened up his clothes and got up.
Unlike the guy who doesn’t have to spend a day at the academy because he’s still in the hospital.
Because I have to carry out my daily routine, I have to go back to the classroom.

“…Still, thanks for bringing the phone.”

However, I had to make sure I had something to do before I left.
It must have been hard to come this far with an immature body.

“Seoha.”

It was the moment when I was about to open the second dimension space to return to the classroom after saying thank you.
I felt Kim Joo-won grab my wrist from behind, and when I turned his head, he spoke to me with sincere, begging eyes.

“Can’t we just skip the lecture today?”

…There are things to ask for and things not to do.

“Sorry. I’m not a regressor like everyone else.”

It is a word that clearly draws a line, perhaps making a regressor feel isolated.
However, in the current situation, it was also something I had to say to him.

“…Huh.”

That you are different from me
In order to break the illusion that you can fall into the regressive self, you had to be aware of that point.
After saying that to him, I shook his hand and opened the second dimension space.

“So goodbye.”

Last Farewell.
In the bathroom revealed after passing through the blue space, I looked at myself through the mirror installed on the washbasin.

And on Lee Seo-ha’s face reflected through the mirror.
A slightly flushed face, as if her instincts as a woman had been expressed a little, and the face of the writer who had no choice but to say something painful to my character.
It’s awkward somewhere, but it’s strangely mixed, making Lee Seo-ha have a complicated expression.
