Chapter 599 – She and Her ■■ -2-

“Do you want to meet now?”

Lee Cho-ah’s eyes widened in astonishment.

There is no reason to hesitate at Roman’s recommendation. The meeting she had always been waiting for.

Of course I want to meet you.

I don’t know who it was, but that light and attraction gave direction to her dull life.

But.

Before meeting Lee Cho-ah, there is something she definitely wants to check.

“Roman.”

“Hmm?”

“Is training over today?”

“There will be a much better teacher than me. Of course, it’s okay to be satisfied with martial arts right now and live a happy life.”

“···.”

“In the end, everything has to be a choice you make because you want to.”

What did Roman misunderstand?

This was not the answer Lee Cho-ah wanted. She shakes her head to indicate that she is not saying that and asks again.

“··· You know what you said last time! If training really ends today, can’t I meet Roman and her wives now?”

It was simply Lee Cho-ah’s intuition.

She didn’t make any promises, and I had a feeling that the moment we parted ways, we would never see each other again.

Because Roman and his group have many mysterious secrets.

“Hmm.”

Roman did not readily answer. She crossed her arms and looked into the night sky.

And closes her eyes.

My eyelids were fluttering thanks to Dokgorin, who expressed a variety of emotions in his images.

‘You and Ricke often talk on the phone… Have you become that attached already? However, it is difficult to mention another dimension now…’

Ichoah clearly got the feeling that she wanted to meet Dokgo Lin face to face.

Wouldn’t it be a pointless confusion to continue with another topic before that? The conversation will probably increase.

As Roman’s answer was delayed due to the story of Amon and the wait became longer, he smiled and answered Lee Cho-ah at the thought that Dokgo-rin was about to collapse.

“I can only give you the answer to that after talking to my friend.”

Ichoa took a deep breath and nodded with her long exhalation.

It was enough.

“I want to meet you. It’s strange… I don’t know anything and I don’t even know who he is, but I still wanted to meet him.”

“It’s an answer you’ll be happy with.”

Roman assured.

In response to that answer, Dokgo Rin may appear polite on the outside, but inside she may be doing somersaults.

“Roman. Where should I go?”

A face full of solemnity.

The moment Lee Choa knew her destination, she was ready to run.

“You can stay here.”

“Yes?”

Lee Choa glanced towards the dark park entrance, wondering if that person was coming here.

Roman looked at the round back of Lee Cho-ah’s head and opened the door to her imagination.

Jeezjejeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeoje!

Lee Cho-ah’s gaze returned to the incomprehensible sound.

“!?”

Because it was a pitch-black night, the dark red cracks that formed in the air were even more brilliant.

Nevertheless, rather than the flashy colors, the walking figure stole Lee Cho-ah’s attention.

The pure white eyepatch that covered his eyes as if he were blind, on the contrary, the steps that seemed to be measured with a ruler, the clothes that did not match the times, and the blindness given by providence, the black hair so black that it was laughable.

It is clear that Lee Cho-ah is someone I have never seen before.

Still, there was a sense of familiarity that made her heart flutter.

Lee Cho-ah froze, feeling a slight headache as she experienced a mental whirlwind for the first time in her life.

The woman removed the pure white eye patch, showed the gold inside containing a clear light, and spoke her voice.

“I am reminded of the past that I spent seven days awake with. However, that day was not filled with anticipation and trepidation like today.”

Lee Cho-ah felt that her eyes were warm.

For some reason, the slightly raised corners of her mouth and the curved corners of her eyes are filled with immeasurable regret and affection.

As if there were no obstacles in her path, she looked at herself and pursed her lips for a long time.

Roman, who was standing next to her and watching, sighs and pushes her back slightly. Only then did she speak hesitantly.

“Ji, I think it would be more appropriate to call her Choa now.”

“···.”

“I don’t know if it’s okay for a sinner like me to ask how you are doing without even knowing the subject, but it’s been a while since I wanted to ask you. How have you been?”

A doctor who is shown by a transcendent person called Dokgo-rin makes a change.

Deep within Lee Cho-ah’s soul.

An anchor that had fallen into the deep sea, where she couldn’t even see an inch in front of her.

It was pulled out.

The turbid current that had sunk her was pushed aside, and the blue current that surged beneath her mingled with Ichoa’s spirit.

*****

The death penalty is strict.

Before she yells, her eyebrows are raised sharply as a warning, and every time I see her, I feel scared, and my legs shake.

I know that her intention is to guide me correctly, but isn’t that scary?

Still, I can endure it.

It actually held up. Even though she didn’t get good results from her hard training, she is confident that she did her best.

But.

I am not as crazy about martial arts as other martial artists.

Unlike the people around me who were not interested in anything except martial arts, I was interested in many things.

The vast majority of disciples of the sect want to visit Gupailbang in person when they go to Jungwon.

But I had no such thoughts at all.

If I went out alone, I wanted to watch a traditional play such as a swordsman and eat snacks as I wanted without worrying about others.

The reason why I grit my teeth and put down roots in the martial arts family, even though I have very limited mental ability, attitude, aptitude, and talent, is not because I have nowhere else to go.

It was just because of one person.

I really liked my sister-in-law. The purpose of enduring training was 90% because I wanted to be praised by my sister-in-law for doing a good job.

I respected my sister-in-law who told me to walk in the direction I wanted, no matter what people around me said.

It was cool to see Moonju and the elders confidently express their thoughts without hesitation, no matter what they said.

The sister’s residence shines like the sun.

Of course, I can’t emulate that kind of boldness.

But just by watching and being around, I felt like I was being saved like a plant receiving sunlight.

“!”

It was like a broken window in front of my eyes.

What on earth am I looking at?

My sister-in-law and herself are tied to the pieces.

“I have no intention of joining in on pranks like the Dragon and Dragon Club. The nickname ‘Bong’… I’m so embarrassed that I won’t even be able to show my face.”

When was this time? The order of my memories is all mixed up.

I reached out and touched another piece.

If I remember correctly, from that day onwards, my sister-in-law became envious and jealous of other women.

“Namgung… I can’t remember his name. If Namgung so-and-so beats me, I will marry him however he wants. If he comes, I will face life and death, so tell him so.”

“If one of you dies, it’s a mixed marriage, and what’s the use of it? Just use too much force!”

“Third Elder. I have been ignoring the dirty flirtation instead of responding to it, considering my relationship with the Nangung family.”

He asked how long he would have to endure before his anger would subside, and his hand holding the sword tightened.

The elders’ wrinkles at that action.

“Isn’t he Namgung, the famous Jade Dragon in the central plains? All you have to do is subdue me without killing me.”

“This, this cheeky…!”

“If you’re going to share a sword with me, it shouldn’t be someone with a grand name like the Jade Dragon who took it with just his face.”

“Huh…”

“If you think you can have every woman with a fair appearance, I think it would be better to just bite your tongue and commit suicide. Please make sure to pass on this message.”

The door slams as he says he wants to go! It closed with a sound.

I could hear the anger and scoldings from the elders inside.

“Haa…”

The sister-in-law clicked her tongue and sighed.

I was secretly listening and was crouching down looking at the ground, pretending not to notice, and my sister-in-law came to see me and laughed.

“Samae. When training is over, should we sneak out and eat somen?”

Ah, what a bright smile.

There was kindness in that smile, making it even more beautiful.

“I’ll buy it for you!”

I showed the pocket-shaped wallet I had in my arms to my sister-in-law.

It’s not much, but you can buy some noodles.

It was a gesture with the hope of providing even a little comfort.

At the time, this was the only thing that came to mind, but now that I think about it, it was such a shameful young behavior that my face would explode.

“It’s okay. I’ll just accept your heart.”

The sister smiled happily. I was relieved because he seemed at ease.

Without thinking about anything else, I followed my sister-in-law’s tail every day.

I was happy without wanting anything more.

I just wanted days like this to continue.

But the sister-in-law suddenly disappeared.

‘···.’

After seeing the vivid memories, I returned the fragments.

Then I rolled my eyes and saw a huge window made of memories.

Most of it is filled with memories with my sister-in-law.

And in the corner is me now.

There is a scene of me training with Mr. Roman, and there is a repetition of me being noticeably embarrassed by the wives’ questions.

Who am I now?

Is it Lee Cho-ah or Dokgo-rin’s sister-in-law?

It was an answer I had to find for myself.

The inner energy in the danjeon moved strongly and calmed the current and waves that occurred in the mind.

The mind that was swirling like a typhoon finds stability.

I slowly opened my eyes to escape the darkness.

I saw two people waiting for me quietly in front of me.

The mouth opens naturally.

“···Sister’s residence.”

Lee Choa’s Call.

Dokgorin’s eyes were filled with joy.
