Chapter 100 – Dating

The needs of monsters are divided into three main categories.

The first is the desire to imitate natural or artificial objects or living things such as animals.

The second is the desire to grow together to grow stronger and become more conscious.

The third is… Sexual desire to spread seeds and receive seeds.

Because I am also a monster. You cannot be free from this desire. At the point of imitating humans perfectly, the desire to imitate has disappeared, but it seems that something is still lacking. The ‘growth’ to merge with each other still remains by my side and is harassing me.

Still, it’s not unbearable.

When monsters know that I am a monster, wherever they go, they pop out of manholes, and when they fight hard to merge with me. It was because nothing extreme like being driven into a corner or narrowing one’s field of vision didn’t happen.

So, it’s strange.

It’s just that thoughts like ‘I want to be united’ come up little by little in a corner of my heart. Except for that time, I have never thought of wanting to become “One” With a monster in the extreme due to being swept away by a torrent of emotions. Not at all, not at all, not at all.

I do not know the reason. I’m afraid because I don’t know.

The grayish white flesh that I have never seen before.

Because all my mind was taken away by that flesh.

The flesh keeps hovering around my head.

Heterogeneous grayish-white flesh.

Light ash color.

Flesh.

He grabs Taeho’s wrist and runs down the hallway. My heart beats so much that it hurts at the thought of what I did. We break through the crowd and arrive at the end of the hallway.

“Haha…”

I catch my breath, slowly turn around and meet Taeho’s gaze. His expression was a mixture of bewilderment and surprise. The hot sunlight comes down through the open windows on the side of the hallway and shines on me and Taeho. Whether it’s because of the tension or the weather, the rising heat makes me sweat profusely.

“Haa… Whoa… Haa…”

“Ugh, Mi-Sorry… I’ll let you go now…”

Let go of your tightly gripped wrist. Tae-ho’s wrists are burning red, just like my fingers. Slightly damp hands

“In the future… If Han Ye-rin bothers you… Tell me… Jo Oh-geum… I’ll help you…”

Haha, holding his breath, hesitantly looking at Taeho. Avert one’s gaze in shame

Glancing at Taeho, Taeho nodded. You can hear the cicadas chirping loudly through the cracks in the windows. On the floor of the hallway, a shadow in the shape of a branch is cast and slowly swayed by the wind.

“That, that… Uhm… Taehoyah…”

I wiggle my fingers and meet Taeho’s gaze. His expression is still flustered as if he is embarrassed. It’s hard to keep an eye on it. My heart continues to beat, and my field of vision narrows so I can only see Taihu.

I’ll help you, Taeho.

I won’t run away anymore.

“Huh?”

“Yesterday… When I borrowed the book, you… Paid for it…”

“It did…?”

I have to say thank you now. All I have to say is thank you, I’m ashamed. Again, keep your head down. You can see the branches swaying in the wind. Shake. Shake my heart I made a firm commitment, but I feel ashamed and crazy because I am in front of the person in question.

“Looks like… I borrowed it for a month…”

I just have to say thank you. Words run out of your mouth. Then.

“Just that, go, thank you…”

Say thank you in a trembling voice. Eyes meet each other. Looking at Taeho, I smile faintly.

Hearing my words, Taeho’s eyes light up. All sorts of emotions ran across Taeho’s face.

“No, no, you don’t have to thank me!”

He shakes his hand and says he’s fine. That too, with a big smile.

Then Taeho smiled and looked into the air. Hey, it’s nice to see you happy…

It reacts a little too much.

“Hey, Tae-ho…”

Doesn’t answer when I call Taeho’s eyebrows move and change moment by moment. It doesn’t respond even when I tap his arm with his finger.

‘What are you thinking about…?’

He is thinking about something while rolling his eyeballs here and there as if struggling.

“I’ll lend you a book later…”

Don’t listen

“Tae-ho…?”

Still not listening

The tuk-tuk touches Taeho’s arm hard. It was only then that Taeho turned his eyes away from the sky and met their gaze.

“Huh?”

“Did you hear me…?”

Tae-ho is confused.

“Oh, uh, sorry. What did you say?”

‘Gee, I really didn’t hear that…’

When I tried to say it again, his lips stuck together and did not come off. After hesitating for a while barely open your mouth

“Uh, later… I’ll lend you the book too, for about a month…”

I bowed my head again in embarrassment. I made up my mind to help, but when I actually said it, I felt so embarrassed. Hey, is this not enough? Are you lacking?

“Thanks.”

Taeho nodded his head in thanks. No, no. That’s not enough. Need more help

“That, Tae-ho… I said the goal was to, uhm… Catch Fenrir…?”

“Yes?”

“I… I know magic well, so I could tell you…”

The body of a monster, but the heart of a human. Still feeling identity confusion, though. Can do this to a degree.

Demons teach you how to kill monsters.

If it’s for Taeho, I can tell you.

“Really?”

Tae-ho’s eyes light up. Totally surprised.

“Ugh… It’s true…”

He hurriedly nods his head. I’m serious. I will help.

“Later, when I have time… I’ll help you at the library… I’m confident in the theory…”

Taeho suddenly slaps his forehead. Then.

“I have to stand…!”

Admire and look at me. He shakes his body slightly, looks up at the ceiling, and inhales and exhales. My body flinched slightly in embarrassment.

“Uh, huh? Are you okay…?”

Tae Ho suddenly lowered his head and looked at me. Thrilling eyes.

“It’s okay! It’s okay!”

Taeho grabs my shoulder tightly and shakes it around. A smile does not leave Taeho’s lips because he is so happy.

“Um, that, that’s right… Calm down…”

He keeps saying thank you and wraps his hand around my shoulders. Slightly rough fingers. When the body touches it, the body heats up again. I think I’ll be excited again!

Then.

Ugh-

Taeho’s cell phone vibrates. Taeho puts his hand on my shoulder and quickly pulls his cell phone out of his pocket. A question mark floats above Taeho’s head, and his expression becomes depressed in real time.

No way.

Yerin Han again?

“What’s wrong…?”

I’m worried.

“Then see you later. Something happened for a while…”

“Isn’t that Han Ye-rin…?”

Taeho nodded and hurriedly left.

What’s going on?

September 18th. Library.

“Did you choose a book…?”

I raise my head and look at Taeho. To keep what I said last time, I came to the library. Since I have the money saved, I can borrow three books without much trouble. I lowered my head and looked at Taeho’s side. Deep restraint magic and deep blood loss.

“But… What purpose are you going to use this book for…?”

Eyes meet each other. I’m trying to catch Fenrir, but why is this book… A bit strange. Even with the restraint magic, point blood?

Where are you going to use the blood?

“Studying, of course.”

“Monsters… Don’t have point blood…”

Taeho nodded. Then… I choose a book without saying anything. Demons don’t have point blood. And even if there is… It’s not very useful. A reserve engineer’s study of divination is in line with a cook’s study of welding. I.E. Meaningless

‘…Massage?’

If point blood is to be used in battle, it is only about forcibly waking the body, forcibly releasing the senses, or forcibly activating them. Even if you do point blood on yourself, the probability of failure is extremely high. In fact, it is for supporters who can only use it on others. If even that fails, it is an obstacle to selection and concentration that is difficult to learn, requiring high proficiency along with more pain than expected.

If there’s anyone who dares to use this, it’s only Kang Ji-ah of the Byeoldongdae.

Aren’t you too… Hasty?

“Did you choose…?”

After walking along Taeho for a while. Finally, stop. What book…

“This is… It’s the first book I saw…”

Round and round origin. It’s magical blood

“Sorry…”

“It’s okay… Let’s go now…”

Grab Taeho’s collar and quickly walk to the rental desk. Take Taeho’s book and pay the bill in Taeho’s name. A lot of money goes out, but how to give back as much as it was bonded. No regrets. It’s good again

Because you helped Taeho.

“Thank you.”

Taeho looks at me and smiles. Seeing that, my heart beats once again. Heat rises over his face. Although Taeho was a bit handsome, I feel like he’s getting more handsome these days every time I see him. Is this, uhh… Nose, bean pods? I don’t know…!

The beating doesn’t stop. Then.

“Yeah, you have to stand up.”

Tae ho calls me My body trembles slightly. Why, why, do you like me? I’m not ready to hear those words yet…! I need to go a little further!

Oh no that’s not it! Friend! After getting closer as friends…! Aww!

“Yes…?”

Eye contact with Taeho. Black eye. Snow is also clear. The eyes, nose and mouth all look good. Although he looks like a blonde tanning bully. It’s like hanging out with a girl at a club! I fall for it even more because I know it’s not like that at all.

Incredibly caring, kind, and kind. Also… Because it’s cool.

“Maybe later… Is there time on the weekend?”

“Yes?”

My cheeks turn red

Date?

Could this be… A date?!

My head can’t keep up with the situation. My heart is beating so fast it feels like it’s about to jump out. My face is stained red, and I can’t bear to make eye contact with Taeho.

Wow, this is so sudden…!

Nod.

“If you have time, why don’t you go somewhere to play later?”

It’s a real date!

After hesitating for a while, he slowly nods his head. Oh, I haven’t even held my hand properly yet! My wrist… Is at its maximum! Are you going to play together?

Steam pours over your head. I can’t stand it.

“See you later.”

Tae-ho grabs a book by his side and leaves.

It’s hard to control your emotions. My beating heart points toward Taeho like a compass.

I said see you later, right?

You must prepare meticulously. I will prepare with all my might.

Already in anticipation.

Wiggle your feet

Waiting for Taeho in front of the station.

After going to the aquarium today… I decided to go to the library.

Yesterday was a bit dizzy. Han Ye-rin, who had been bullying Tae-ho all her life, suddenly made her a lunch box… It was too dangerous. ‘Cause I can’t feel the taste Because she sees the chewy meat and says it’s delicious. Because Taeho looked at me with a puzzled look in his eyes, saying, “Is something like that delicious?” Although she somehow got over it. It was a bit risky.

‘Oh, it was very dangerous…’

Even that wasn’t enough, because I was so happy that evening, I said strange things like ‘what are you going to do tomorrow?’ Via text message. Suffered continuously. I still regret it. I saw that clearly! If you touch the bread hat with your hand, a familiar figure approaches from afar.

“Tae-ho… Are you here…?”

He waved his hand towards Taeho.

White short sleeves, black slacks and black sneakers. Her broad shoulders are exposed. I feel dignified. The face is also a face, but I keep looking at the body. A perfectly trained body. Tae Ho comes to my side.

“Let’s go now.”

“Yes…”

Nod. Grab Taeho’s collar and slowly walk into the station. I’m so nervous I can’t think of anything. If you grab the collar and accidentally touch the skin, it seems like it will run away. I think I’m going to run away with joy!

‘This makes them look like a perfect couple…!’

No one is looking, but I can feel the gaze. Nobody cares, I do. When I glanced at Taeho, it was nothing, it was peaceful.

‘Ah, aren’t you ashamed…?’

Be calm that, right? Isn’t that enough yet? Seeing that, I try to relax my face to be calm, but I can’t help it. Emotions are already at their peak. It draws a high and long upward trend.

There are many people in the station. Enough to push that too. Taeho takes my hand.

‘Excitement?!’

My face is burning red like it’s going to explode. Taeho doesn’t care and puts me on the escalator first. Boo, don’t be shy! I hurriedly straighten my face and turn around to look up at Taeho.

“Ah. Taeho… Thank you…”

Looking at Tae-ho, he smiles shyly. I really can’t do this…!

Caring is ingrained in the body. My heart is pounding.

“Where are you going to the aquarium…?”

Wait for the train in front of the screen door. I tapped Taeho’s arm with my finger. Still nervous, but calmed down somewhat. A lot of the redness on my face has disappeared.

“Starlight Aquarium.”

“What is…?”

Surprised

There… Isn’t it a very expensive place?

If you shine, it’s a premium. When it comes to premium, it is a holy light. From entertainment to food, movies, amusement parks and more. One of the places where Seongkwang Enterprises, which is indispensable when it comes to Korean ‘culture’, spent a lot of money is the ‘Sungkwang Aquarium’… Are you going there?

“Isn’t it too expensive…?”

A lot expensive.

I thought I’d just… Go to the little aquarium nearby…

“It’s okay. It didn’t cost much. I got a discount.”

It’s a lie. It can’t be. If you say that there is already a discount, there will be an uproar on the Internet, but there is no news like that.

Although Tae-ho is caring and kind. This is something… Strange.

It seems a bit desperate.

…Why?

The train arrives and the screen door opens. People come out like water.

“Ah. You have to stand up.”

Taeho builds a wall with his arm next to me. In an instant, my face turns red. My body flinched every time I gently touched Taeho’s arm.

‘…Ugh.’

Treating me well treats me so well that I never give myself time to rest. As a monster, I fell for it, and as a woman, I also fell for it. Tae-ho tells him to be careful. He was already obstructed by his trusty arm and forced to be careful.

Kindness and courtesy.

The two together make me fall in love.

“That, ugh… Thank you…”

He blushes and lowers his head. Thanks. I’m so grateful that I can’t get my head around it. Tae-ho nods her head and they enter the train together. And.

“You sit down.”

Taeho gave up her remaining seat to me.

Your cheeks turn red again.

“Uh, no… Taeho, you sit down…”

He grabs Taeho by the collar and refuses. Are you being too considerate, Yana?

“Are you going to ride for more than 40 minutes?”

“40 buun…? It’s so long…”

“Yes. So you have to stand. You just sit.”

Taeho looks at me and smiles. She looks like she’ll fall for it, so she lowers her head. Face flushed red. Her shoulders tremble slightly.

“What is that, you know I like sports. It’s okay to stand still.”

I’m trying to get a seat somehow. After hesitating, she raises her head and looks at her Taihu.

“That, thank you…”

Let’s have a seat.

The train is moving

Arrived at the aquarium. On the way, consideration kicks in again. Because Tae Ho drove me half crazy.

‘Huh…!’

It’s embarrassing that I dozed off halfway through and leaned on Taeho’s shoulder, but I didn’t know that he would fix my bread hat as soon as I got off the train. I tried to reshape it, but I couldn’t make eye contact.

It’s already a monster and sleeping, and that doesn’t matter. Every one of Taeho’s gestures comes to me as critical damage.

I’m embarrassed…!

After entering the aquarium, go straight into the hamburger shop. We had a conversation.

What’s your favorite food?

What’s your favorite sport?

What’s your favorite animal?

And.

“Come to think of it, Seol-ah. Do you have a favorite person?”

Who do you like?

“That, uh, uh huh?”

My face is rapidly turning red. Joe, do you like someone?

“There is?”

“…”

There is.

Nod slowly.

“Are you in the academy?”

It’s right in front of you!

Nod slowly.

“Ugh, huh…”

Place the hamburger on the floor. Hey, are you looking at me? Tell me who you like right now?

In front of someone you like?

“Oh… I see. Do you know who it is-“

“Uh, uh! Tae, Taeho, I’m full. Shall we go now?!”

He gets up quickly and grabs Taeho by the wrist and drags him out of the store.

He exhales heavily and closes his mouth. I almost said, ‘Actually, I like you’. He almost confessed on the spot. It was really, really dangerous!

Go, I’m not going to confess here…!

“Haha…”

I tilt my head and look at Taeho.

“Now, let’s go see the dolphins…”

He grabs Taeho’s wrist and drags him forward. Can not be done. It was dangerous. My heart keeps pounding This heart seems to be caught

This feeling of loving you It will appear as it is.

That day, I couldn’t concentrate on the aquarium at all.

“Uh, uh, uh… What should I do…!”

I didn’t go to the academy today. No, I didn’t go

I didn’t have the confidence to look at Tae-ho, so I completely fell for it. Ha, I have to protect Han Ye-rin…! I stay in my room like an idiot and do nothing. Doesn’t even answer the phone Because emotions seem to come out. It fled and became one with the room as it was. I threatened Han Ye-rin a few times, but I’m still worried.

I think all of these feelings and thoughts will be revealed. I can’t get close to Taeho.

I like it

Love.

I love tae ho

It’s embarrassing to fear that this feeling will be revealed. I’m afraid they’ll think I’m strange, maybe, I’m afraid my heart won’t work. Afraid.

It is certain that Taeho is interested in me. I’m afraid though. If you notice my heart Because at that moment, the result is decided.

When you tell your heart later. Because the answer is already decided. We need to get closer, if we get caught first. It’s all over. More than shy I’m a jerk… I’m ashamed. I’m going crazy with shame! I said I wouldn’t run away anymore! As soon as you promise, you fail. Ugh… Fool, Fool!

Afraid. Scared yet ashamed

I thought I was doing well so far, but when I got to the point where I was caught, my head went blank and I couldn’t think of anything.

May my heart reach you

But.

I’m still not sure

So avoid

“Boo, it’s embarrassing…! It’s so embarrassing that I’m going crazy…!”

I put my face on the pillow and move around. If I go to the academy now, I don’t know how to treat Taeho. I’m embarrassed. It’s embarrassing for fear of being found out, and it’s just- embarrassing! You need to calm your mind. Don’t let this mind get caught. Period should be pushed back as far as possible.

“Ugh, ugh…”

Tomorrow is the Maginot Line. Sure tomorrow

Let’s go to the academy

With your head on the pillow.

Close both eyes.
