Chapter 60 – Think About It, You Crazy Bitch!
“Stop it now!”
As she shouted, she waved her empty hand at Yuri. Her palm, which flew to where her head lay, hit the soft spot.
Slap!
Having been slapped by her, Yuri no longer used her swarm. At that time, I did not endure because of the spilled water of violence.
“Just because I do that doesn’t make me like you!”
“… Why? Jiheon-ah, why?”
She asked in her crawling voice. To Yuri, who looked like she was about to cry, I poured out the words I had been holding back.
“You were my first love! But I didn’t like it when I saw you like this!”
When she first saw Yuri, she was a bright child in the world. She never lost her smile and she interacted with people confidently. But she wasn’t like that at all now.
“It was my first love! I said I was your first love!”
“Because you weren’t like this then! When we first met, you had something called pride! But now what! You’re just a stupid person sitting on the bottom of a tidal flat and whining!”
At her words, Yuri screamed at her throat.
“You! How can you say that! To me too!”
“I’m saying it because it’s you! Because you are my first love! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to rescue you like this!”
“You came because you liked it!”
“No! A little!”
I let go of the wrist I was holding. Instead, he went over to her, grabbed her by the collar, and forced her to her feet. She shouted at the round outline of what she thought was a face beyond the barely visible darkness.
“Listen! I am! You! Now! At all! Not even one! Don’t like it! I may have been like that before, but now I don’t feel like that at all!”
Then Yuri grabbed my wrist and pushed me away. But I still didn’t let go of her collar with strength in her hand. She shouted when she didn’t get her way.
“Why! I am so good at it!”
“What are you good at! Interfering unnecessarily whenever you have free time? How can you just say something and smoke in front of everyone else?”
“I did everything for you!”
“You must have done it for yourself! Do not be ridiculous!”
“You’ll love me anyway! If not now, you will love me later! No?”
“No! How can I like you when you’re like this! You weren’t like this before!”
“Why me. What’s up!”
“Think about it, you crazy bitch!”
I let go of my collar and at the same time pushed me to the ground.
I was angry, but I didn’t know that I would be cursing too. What’s more, they’re going to use violence. It was proof that I had lost my reason that much. But this time, I hoped that Yuri would know how I felt.
Yuri took a few steps back and fell, trying to lose her balance. She was filled with soft mud and even her water, making a splash as she fell. When I hit her butt on the floor, she finally gave her voice.
“Hey!”
Then the glass walked in front of her, and she uttered it in a low voice so that she could hear it properly.
“Do you know how you are now? At least it wasn’t like this in high school. No, he wasn’t like this until Hajun was meeting him.”
“You bastard! I for you… !”
“Don’t show me such servility! Please!”
I sat down on the bottom of the tidal flat where the water slowly entered. Then the cold seawater soaked the inside of his pants.
Yuri muttered softly, probably seeing my shadow sitting there.
“I… Are you servile?”
“Okay. Be servile.”
“Now, don’t you like me?”
“I don’t like it.”
“So, do you like him now?”
Yuri did not specify who “That person” Was. She didn’t even give me the slightest hint, but I remembered her with her silver hair, her hair, and her unusual way of speaking.
Taking my silence as an affirmation, Yuri asked in a voice almost crying.
“How are you?”
The trembling tone intensified, and eventually she began to sob.
“How can you change the person you like so easily? Are you like that? Huh?”
Actually, it wasn’t that easy to change the person I liked. Seven years in this world, seven years in another world. The time it took for me to like Yuri and meet the demon king in modern times. My love for Yuri gradually turned into an obsession, and I mistook it for her love.
Thinking of this, I spit out the words she wrote when I kicked her.
“Because a lot of time has passed. Because it was.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“…”
After hearing my answer, Yuri sniffed for a while. Forgetting that she had fallen, she only cried.
I just wanted to leave her like that. I wanted to watch her until she cried and then comfort her. However, the seawater was up to her shins, and she had to get out of the tidal flat even a second faster now.
“Let’s go, Yuri.”
“… “
She held out her arm in response. I helped her get up by pulling her arm. That’s how we walked along the tidal flat where the water was up to our calves.
Uh? Wasn’t it until the shin?
When the speed of the water suddenly increased, I became desperate. He said with his back in front of the crying glass.
“Get up!”
“Sniff, huh?”
“Up! Water is coming in!”
“Euphi, you say?”
“Oh really!”
If it were the demon king, I would have jumped in the first place!
She turned around and hugged Yuri. She reluctantly supported her hips with her forearms and pulled her arms around her back to keep her centered.
“Ji-heon? Wow!”
I hugged her and even lifted her abruptly and she let out her screams. However, she was fortunate enough not to leave her now.
“Hold on tight!”
“Kyaaak, evil, evil, evil, evil!”
With each step, Yuri’s scream cut off, making it sound like a crow crowing. She laughed out of embarrassment at this moment of reversal from the situation that had kicked her just before.
As she ran while carrying someone, her feet sank deeper than when she just walked. Now, as she ran on the seawater that was up to her knees and on the tidal flats where she could sink just by walking, her stamina plummeted. Still, she couldn’t leave her. Of course, it was never like that because it was my first love.
There were times when the water was submerged up to chest level, but somehow I managed to get on the ground. She set her glass down on her floor and took in her rough breath.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok!”
It was difficult even for former warriors to run around the tidal flats while holding a person. Yuri came next to me as she caught her breath.
“Jiheon-ah, are you okay?”
Breathless enough to answer, I just nodded and said it was okay, she said.
The closer I got to the road, the more I could see Yuri’s face in the light of the street lamp. Her muddy face didn’t look as pretty as it did before.
As expected, when I thought that my heart was with someone else, I heard a familiar voice.
“Are you okay there?”
When she turned her head, she saw a silver-haired beauty glowing in the orange street light. Looking at her, her breath returned to her, and I struggled to answer.
“Does this look fine!”
Yuri and I were both covered in mud and the lower parts of our bodies were wet. But the demon king looked up and down and smiled.
“Seeing that no limbs were cut off, it seems to be fine.”
“What the hell is your standard for being fine?”
“As long as you’re alive, wouldn’t everything be fine?”
“You are talking nonsense.”
The Demon King laughed at her words and approached her. Then I suddenly looked back and saw Yuri standing there with a dark expression on her face.
“Yuri.”
“Oh, huh?”
“Let’s go. It is very cold because of the wind.”
“Okay…”
Leaving her to answer sullenly, she approached the demon king. The demon king smiled and greeted me with both hands in his sweatpants pockets.
I wondered if I had heard the story of ‘that person’ that Yuri talked about earlier, and for some reason, her heart jumped. Maybe that’s why I asked in a blunt tone without knowing it.
“Why are you here?”
“Why did you come? If you don’t do it, you should be able to endure it because you’re worried that the news will come out. But a little… “
The demon king looked me up and down, blurring his words. Confirming that it was wet up to her chest, she continued her words.
“Would it have been dangerous?”
“Did you fall behind? Let’s go in quickly now. Cold.”
Most of her body was wet, and the strong sea breeze made her shiver. I sighed and looked at the glass. She also crossed her arms and stroked her forearm as if to wrap herself up, as if she was cold.
She wanted to ask the demon king to take off at least her sweatpants, but she stopped because she thought Yuri would be mistaken if she did.
We walked quickly to the pension. Yuri and I didn’t open our mouths because we felt uncomfortable and wanted to go quickly, and the demon king didn’t know if it was on purpose, but he didn’t say anything.
When I arrived at the pension yard, I saw people still drinking. Some of them noticed our presence and pretended to be al.
“Jiheon!”
Sun-a, who dyed her hair yellow, walked by calling my name. Like the demon king did earlier, he looked at my face and asked.
“What’s the matter. What’s the matter? … Ah.”
But seeing the glass behind me, I stopped her. Her brief exclamation sounded like she was reasoning about what Yuri and I had been through.
Yuri left the pension showing an unstable appearance, and I followed after Yuri. There is the sea right next to it, and they both come back wet.
It didn’t seem like a good story would come out.
“No way,”
“No!”
Before Sunah could say anything, she interrupted.
“I fell over while playing in the tidal flat with Yuri! So she rolls and gets wet!”
At my words, she frowned and looked back and forth between me and Yuri. After thinking for a few seconds, Sunah opened her mouth.
“… You should have been careful. Jiheon.”
It seems that he decided to correct my words.
But I’m really sorry, I had one more thing to ask of her.
“Here, Suna.”
“Why?”
“Can I look at the glass? To me and him, it’s a bit… “
She chinned the demon king and muffled her words. Thankfully, Sunah understood what I was saying, just like before.
“Okay. Instead, have a bite to eat later.”
“I will live by learning.”
“Should I buy you a drink with that option?”
Suna said, “Are you okay, Yuri?” And approached her. My first love headed to her women’s dorm with Suna’s support.
I looked at them with some vague feeling. The demon king said to me.
“Isn’t it okay not to do something like that golden sun?”
“When did I do it!”
“Don’t you know that what you do not know is worse than what you know and do?”
“So when did you do it… Acquire!”
I sneezed out because I had been wet for too long.
“Oh, it’s cold. I’m going to change some clothes.”
I sniffed and walked to the pension where the men’s room was located. On that day, the Demon King followed.
“Why are you following me?”
“Isn’t it time to stop answering?”
“What.”
At my answer, the demon king opened his eyes wide as if he couldn’t remember why.
“Wasn’t Jim confessed before you went!”
Come to think of it, that happened. I remembered being confessed to by a boy who was too drunk to speak properly. Thinking about what happened at the time, I felt stuffy for a different reason than when I was in Yuri. Pretending not to know that, I asked.
“Why?”
“Do you want Jim to accept that confession?”
“Can’t you tell me later?”
“Didn’t Jim wait for you to kick the glass? So, isn’t it okay to complain like this!”
“Do I really have to do that now?”
“Otherwise, I will wait until you do. In that case, I will have to accept that confession tomorrow.”
I reflexively responded to the words the demon king spat out.
“Don’t take it!”
“Whoops♥”
Hearing her answer, she smiled happily.
“Did I just say no? Why is that? Please answer me once.”
“If you say,”
“Hmm?”
“Will you refuse to tell me?”
The demon king raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly. Her heart-throbbing expression, she continued her words with delight.
“Of course not! Didn’t I tell you before! You are the only burden!”
That word sounded a bit different than before. Realizing that, her trembling body warmed up. Her shy heart made her walk almost leaping to the inn.
In the same room as the male classmates, the famous boys brought their female classmates and were playing a noisy drinking game.
While they were enjoying their youth, when I appeared wet with water, the room fell into silence. I took off my shoes to go inside, avoiding the eyes of my classmates.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Every time I walked around the room with my feet soaked in seawater and mud, I heard a sound I couldn’t ignore. At the same time, leaving dark footprints, I went straight to the bathroom.
“… It must have fallen into the sea.”
Then it must have rained and got wet!
A female classmate responded inwardly to her murmured words. Starting with those words, they looked at me and murmured. But thanks to the arrival of the demon king, the subject changed from me to the demon king.
Entering the bathroom, I asked the Demon King standing outside.
“If you go to that room, do you have my bag? Could you bring me some of that?”
“Hmm.”
After answering briefly, she walked to the room I pointed to. He must have known my bag because he had been to his room several times and had gone to school with him several times.
Thinking so, I went into the bathroom and shut the door. Now I was about to take off my dirty, damp jeans when the door suddenly opened.
“Here it is.”
The demon king held out my bag through the crack in the door. I got it and put it on the toilet. Now I was about to close the door, but suddenly she opened the door and tried to come in.
“Jim will be watching, so open the door!”
“Look at what!”
“Or at least let me see through the mesh! Giggles!”
“Stop talking bullshit!”
There are other motives out there, but there is nothing I can’t say!
I hurriedly pushed the demon king away and closed the door. But the obstruction continued.
“You! You! You!”
“Stop it!”
“There’s a call!”
“Variety, really!”
“It’s real! It’s from Sehee! Take it!”
“… Really?”
With a half-doubtful heart, I opened the bathroom door. A hand holding a phone entered through the gap that was narrower than a span. I looked at the screen during a call and answered the call right away.
“Hello?”
As soon as I received it, I heard Sehee’s haughty voice.
-Brother. What happened?
“It’s not that there isn’t one, why?”
– My brother went to the sea and his phone suddenly turned off. What’s going on?
“What?”
At that, I unconsciously touched the pocket of my pants. Only then did I remember walking in the sea in pants with my phone in my pocket.
I hurriedly put my hand in my pocket, feeling the blood run down my face. I took out my cold, hard cell phone and pressed the power button.
“… Yuri, you bitch!”
The day my first love disappeared, my smartphone also left forever.
