Chapter 9 – Hero, Rice House Daughter Hyeon Ha-Yeon (4)

Life is a series of choices.

This is a saying that was often circulated on social media.

I like this quote, but I think it is a bitter statement.

Humans make a choice at every moment, and whether that moment’s choice will be a turning point in life or just an ordinary day is entirely up to one’s own choice.

Do you want to eat, sleep or…

*

Why did I accept her so easily?

If I think about it calmly, her request was sudden, and I should have just glossed over it.

I, who was Lee Ji-yeon’s lover, broke up with her a few years ago after going through various difficulties after her successful debut as a singer, but in the end, she remained in a strange relationship between childhood friend and business.
She has often wished for squinship. However, she cannot accept all requests.
···It is also my fault for giving in to desire.

I was looking at her phone with a devastated expression.

The man and woman on her phone screen were still lusting after each other like animals.

She said, stroking my face.

“If you tail that bitch who thinks she’s the rice shop’s daughter or something, then…”

The hand that was stroking my face gained strength.

“I won’t stay still”

Her eyes were deep and dark, as if she was reading my mind beyond her eyes.

The tension in the car made me drool.

How can I get through this situation without provoking her?

Her method of arousing sympathy by kneeling and begging did not work well.
Violent action has already failed. She actually liked it.

The indifferent way of going about things actually made me angry.

The aftermath was largely ignored.

Of course, several years had passed, but I didn’t think she would have changed.

In fact, it would have gotten worse

In the end, I had no choice but to place an iron plate on her face and pray in my heart.
I untied her restraints and lightly pushed her and said.

“Tangling your tail is some kind of nonsense, isn’t it?”

I acted with as natural an expression as possible.

You can survive by getting over this situation without provoking her and then taking her initiative.

“···Watching”

“There will be nothing to watch”

I answered in a confident voice and got out of the car.

“···Let’s go, we don’t have much left to film.”

“···”

She followed without saying another word.

*

I glanced at my cell phone while watching the Shining Boys filming, but there was no contact from Hayeon.

I contacted the office wondering if my number was on the business card, but they said there was no contact.

“···”

Lee Ji-yeon knows everything due to Choi Dae-pyo’s betrayal, and no one knows how she will sabotage or wait and see.

Although she declined the offer, she had a desire for celebrities.
There must be a reason why she didn’t say anything.

Tonight she revisits her past and finds something that can target her.

[Our love is a mystery~ No one knows]

Shining Boys’ hit song Love Mystery was playing on the waiting room TV.

Leader Inseok did the choreography a little wrong.

It wasn’t a big mistake, but as I often see their choreography, I was able to notice that it was a little wrong.

They were also my celebrities.

Let’s focus on work today

*

After finishing work, I returned to my accommodation.

Since I had to go see Hayeon tomorrow morning, I contacted her in advance and left her in the care of another rod.

Results of the experiment after meeting the goddess in a dream and realizing that one can see the past

I learned that I can spend much more time dreaming than actually sleeping.

I took a shower and turned on the mini humidifier that was collecting dust.

Your mind may be tired, but your body will be healthy

After I was fully prepared, I laid my head on the pillow and fell asleep right away.

I think being able to sleep well is a good ability.

*

When I opened my eyes, I saw a space that I was now familiar with.

The goddess was still floating in the middle of the room.

“Goddess, show me Hero’s past again today”

[···It seems that recruiting a hero is not easy.]

“I’m going out today to find a way to attack the hero.”

[···]

The goddess quietly stretched out her hand and revealed her past.

*

I opened my eyes to the surrounding noise.

It was a war in which the hero and I participated.

It was still a realistic dream. Wouldn’t it be like this if a virtual reality game that only appeared in novels came out?

However, in this dream, I was not free because I was seeing exactly what I had seen in the past.

Looking around, preparations for battle were in full swing.

The warrior was listening to information about the enemy from a friendly general not far away.

It was the past I requested from the goddess.

In the past, I once asked her why she became a hero.
Her past self called her without hesitation.

“Mr. Guide? Are you ready?”

She told the general who was explaining to her to wait and approached me.
Being able to tell a country’s general to wait… How much dignity does a warrior have?

I asked her a question about her past.

“Why did the hero decide to become a hero?”

“Huh? What do you mean suddenly?”

“···”

When I looked at her as if I was urging her, she said, “I saw her strangely.”

“I decided to become a warrior to protect the people.”

“… Who will die in this war? What about their families?”

“I think there is nothing we can do to avoid causing more conflict.”

The warrior had an extreme side.

Consciousness was thrown out.

It was dizzying at first, like falling from a high place on a ride, but now I’m a little used to it.

My consciousness became clear.

Arrived in a different past.

When she opened her eyes, it was me from her past who bought her a ring.
There was nothing different from the past I had seen before.

I put her ring on the ring finger of her left hand and told her to protect herself.

Now that I think about it, the ring finger of my left hand is the finger that I wear my wedding ring on. I don’t know what the culture was like there, but looking at the warrior’s reaction, it seems to be no different from modern times.

In the past, I was greater than I thought.

She told me to always protect her.
The warrior answered with tears of joy that he would always protect her.

I asked the warrior to protect me, and she said she would protect me.

I lost consciousness again.

After a while, my consciousness became clear, and even before I opened my eyes, all kinds of foul smells were in the air.

When I opened my eyes, there was a warrior soaked in blood.

It was a past where thousands of people were torn apart by the hands of warriors.

The warrior waved me and called me

She drew her sword and ran towards the gathered people.

The person I saw in the distance had the impression of having seen it somewhere.

It seemed like there was a general who was giving information in the first station I saw today.

Is this fight the first place you saw it?

So why did she seem like an enemy even to her allies?

As I thought about all of her thoughts, I remembered the first thing she said that day.

‘Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot? I’m sorry, I was wrong…’

‘I, I… Will protect you… Just wait a little bit’

Was it on the same side that harmed me?

Somehow, I understood that the hero had lost sight of me for a moment.

The warrior could not protect me.

Her consciousness snapped.

This was my first time seeing the past.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a modern, sophisticated house made of marble and wood.

Furniture that looks expensive and a house that looks affluent

It must have been a past involving a hero, but the hero was nowhere to be seen.

It was the first time in the past that I opened my eyes and could not see the hero.

The past me went out of the house.

The house was a one-story house. When I opened the door, it led straight outside.

I stood in front of the house and looked around.

It was full of clear and refreshing air

The house was in the middle of a vast field, and a tall, rugged mountain range in the distance surrounded the field like a fence.

There was a lake of a reasonable size not far from the house, and there were many livestock such as cows, pigs, and chickens on the shore of the lake, as well as various kinds of trees, and the trees were full of all kinds of fruits.

I thought it was a very nice place to live, but after thinking about it, I became a little scared.

···Where are the others?

There was no sign of anyone in this wide field other than the house I came from.

When I looked closely at the mountains in the distance, there was no open space at all. There were even clouds over the mountain ranges.

This place was a natural prison.

But I couldn’t see where the hero was.

The past me walked to the lakeside.

When I went near the lakeside, I met a warrior who was cutting down and moving a tree with a large knife.

Her deep dark hair was longer and had grown to her waist since she had last seen her in her dream.
When the warrior saw me, he put down the tree and the large sword and came over and said.

“Did you go for a walk?”

She smiled and asked kindly.

But the words that came out of my mouth were different.

“Let me out”

“What do you mean again, I can’t protect you if I get out of here?”

She was still kind.

Watching my conversation with her, she understood that the warrior had brought me into this natural prison and was raising me.

“Haha… Okay, if you want to go that far, win.”

The warrior was right that she was crazy.

At those words, I pulled out a knife that looked quite sharp, no matter where it came from.

As if she had no choice, she broke a suitable branch and looked at me.

“Haaaaa!”

The moment I met her hero’s eyes, I rushed at her.
The warrior grinned and swung her branch, and her vision darkened.

My past self came to my senses right away, as if my consciousness hadn’t been lost.

When I looked around, I was lying on the bed in the house where I had woken up earlier.

The woman who was sitting across from her, trimming a long wooden stick, asked.

“You’re awake?”

“Keuung…”

“Haa… Are you really… Alright?”

“Ugh…”

The warrior put down the tree and came over, patting her head and saying.

“I think bad children should be punished”

“Punishment… Is it a bad thing to be kidnapped and try to escape?”

Despite my rebellious response, the warrior did not lose his smile.

“You asked me to protect you… But you’re trying to escape, so you’re a bad kid, right?”

“What…”

She gently stopped me with one hand as I tried to get up and grabbed my left ankle.
She sensed her intention and tried to struggle to get up, but she was unable to escape her delicate grasp and fell into a state of despair.
She looked at me and tightened her hands.

‘Puddeudeuk’

“Kwaaah! Stop! Aaaaa!”

My ankle couldn’t stand the unbelievable tightening force and was being crushed.

She was still smiling.

She lost consciousness again when she heard a clicking sound from her ankle.

Her power was fear itself.

Consciousness popped out.

When I opened my eyes, there was a goddess in front of me.

“Haa… Haa…”

She took her breath away and looked at the goddess.

[Are you okay?…]

She looked at me and asked as if she was worried.

I grabbed my intact ankle.

It was vivid pain.

“Ha… Anyway, there was income.”

She was obsessed with protecting me.

Maybe she thinks she has to protect her family now?
