Chapter 172 – Feeling Foreboding

As soon as he understands the situation, he clenches his fist and punches Seol-ah in the head.

“Aww!”

“What are you doing to your junior!”

“No, it was hit, but it was hit again…”

Seol-ah strokes her forehead with her hand as if it were bitter. As soon as the magic is released, the junior is scattered on the floor of the hallway.

“Heo Eok… Heo Eok… Senior Han Seol-ah… Vs, what the heck…”

Choi Si-yoon looks confused between me and Seol-ah around her.

“It’s okay. It’s no big deal.”

Seol-ah is always like this to the women who approach her.

‘I’m not just trying to help a little bit.’

She sticks with her throughout the academy, and I’m afraid Seol-Ah will use her hand anywhere if she only helps her. If I deter her, she eventually backs off, but I don’t know what she’s going to do when I’m not looking. It’s an obsession that’s so frustrating.

“Seol-ah, don’t do that from next time. My juniors were surprised.”

“That’s not enough… A goofy guy who keeps hanging out around Taeho…”

“I called because I had something to help you with. Don’t worry, it’s not what you think, right?”

When I glance at her, Siyoon Choi nods her head painfully.

“Still… Boo, I’m anxious…”

Averting my gaze, stroking her forehead with her hand. The red cheeks let you know that Seol-Ah is a little excited.

“I have a strange feeling… Then another person is added and then… Ughhh. Oh, okay! I’m sorry, Taeho… Again, don’t hit me again…”

She slightly raises her fist and Seol-Ah hesitantly avoids her head. Chit, chet, clicking her tongue and glancing at Choi Si-yoon doesn’t let her guard down until the end.

‘How thorough are the four weeks’ boundaries.’

Is there even a radar? Whenever a woman approaches me, four people, including Seol-Ah, rush at me. No, Han Ye-rin gave in, so there is no such thing anymore. Anyway, there are only four women around me.

“Stop, senior…”

“Huh?”
“Yes?”

“Ah, no… Tae, Taeho senior…”

Seol-ah glared at her junior. As I fire another bean, Seol-ah says, “I’m sorry…” And hides behind her gun. Still keeping his eyes open… It feels like watching a child who doesn’t want to have things taken away from him.

“That, that… That’s what you’re talking about…”

Siyoon Choi looks at me and wiggles her thighs. As soon as her eyes met, her slightly flushed lips twitched, and her slightly flushed cheeks blushed.

“I’ll just tell you later. Because of the person next to me…”

“…”

As I try to forcefully drop it, Seol-ah presses her body closer to her in return. Then, as if to show off, I stick to my waist and rub her hair, like a cat that smells of her.

“Well then, see you later…”

Siyoon Choi awkwardly shakes her hand. She glanced at her lower body. It must have been a shock for her to stagger as she walked. I came as my senior said, but the school’s best wizard floated me in the air.

What the hell is this?

“Get away…!”

“I don’t like it…”

Even if I try to grab Seol-ah by the back of her neck and forcefully drop her, she won’t budge. After a few minutes of whining, I give up, and Seol-ah smiles brightly and rubs her face against my side.

“But, you have to stand.”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you say you were going to yield to Socheon-senpai today?”

“I don’t know that. I just want to stick around…”

Very stupid

“Tae-ho, my forehead hurts so much… You hit me hard… I hate Tae-ho…”

“…”

Seol-ah groans at her side and expresses her regret.

“Taeho-neu… Is strangely unaware. Is it because he doesn’t notice or he’s just insensitive… Because he’s such a human being, there are always women clinging to him around him… Everyone says he’s coming for a strange purpose…”

Seol-ah murmurs as she slams her face into her side of her cage.

“I can’t keep having strange girls… I’ll protect Taeho…”

Whoops, the phone rings.

‘It’s coming in that moment?’

“Should I… Stand?”

“Taeho, I’ll protect you…”

It clings to my body and tickles Seol-Ah’s side.

“Euhhhhh! Tae, Taeho!?”

“Come down quickly, I have something to show you.”

“Whoa… Whoa…! Go, tickle!”

Seol-ah somehow holds back her laughter, but she can’t help but fall by my side. Her flushed face stares at me endlessly.

“Bo, will you show me…?”

“Huh.”

Show pictures from her cell phone.

A montage picture I drew. When I drew it at the campsite, the person in charge took it right away, so unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to show it. At least Seol-ah would know about this.

It’s just a fair guess.

Because the link is too vague. It’s just that the two of them are monsters, Seol-ah likes gray cats, and she happened to see a gray cat monster while camping. The linkage is too loose.

Still, just in case. I’m going to show it to Seol-ah, the monster.

‘Because Fenrir is also a monster, if I know anything, I don’t know if it will fall at least.’

Humanity caught the main enemy monster and studied it for a long time. However, there are still many fields that are in the realm of speculation because there is still little to be revealed.

At least, Seol-ah is the only monster that can communicate with her. Maybe you know

There might be other desires besides the most basic desires of monsters, such as imitation, sexual desire, and growth. Just like a monster with no intelligence saying ‘Helena’ every time like a parrot. Even Seol-ah, maybe there is something trigger in the ‘gray cat’.

“Do you know what this is?”

Show the picture to Seol-ah.

OK.

“…”

The pupils narrow, like a cat with fur up from being so nervous.

“…?”

Crackling teeth, pounding heart, uncharacteristically Seol-ah, the cold sweat that constantly flows out. Just like that, Seol-ah stiffens. Like a three-year-old baby who saw something frightening, or like a 100-year-old man about to die, his expression goes up and down. I stare at the montage I drew, as if my spirit has gone out of her face, which is completely drained of blood.

Feeling dangerous, I quickly turn off my phone screen. OK.

Tick-

Seol-ah staggers like a doll with unraveled threads.

“Should I stand…?!”

She catches herself about to fall and touches Seol-Ah’s cheek, who is still unconscious.

“…Eh, huh?!”

Seol-ah’s eyes, half-fazed and chasing the phone, scatter at the sound of my words.

“Ah… Uh… It’s okay… It’s okay… It’s okay, Taeho… It’s just, that’s it… Bo, instinctively… Something…”

Seol-ah trembles as she is held in my arms. Her gibberish incomprehensible words flow from the corners of her mouth.

“What, what is this…?

“You have to stand!”

“Ehh?!”

Seol-ah, who can’t come to her senses, is seized. Seol-ah, who had been pouring out strange words, met her gaze in amazement.

The pale expression on his face slowly returned to normal. A blush appears on her bloody face, and Seol-ah, who has returned to normal, makes a strange sound like ‘Huh, Huh?’ And panics.

“Are you okay?”

“Ugh, ugh… It’s okay… Ooh, my head hurts…”

Seol-ah strokes her head with her hand. Not on her forehead, but pressing down on the back of her head, she was immersed in her thoughts.

“Hey, wait a minute Taeho… Can I come down?”

She puts Seol-ah on the floor in her hallway, and she stumbles a bit, but then finds her balance and stands up.

“…Sorry.”

“Hmm? No, no… I’m fine now.”

“Have you seen this before?”

Seol-ah shakes her shoulders.

“No, this is the first time I’ve seen this… I’m sure, I’m sure I’m seeing it for the first time… Strangely, I’m used to it… I’m not sure…”

Seol-ah chews her soft lips.

“Taeho, I’ll go first…”

Seol-ah waved her hand helplessly, so I waved her hand as well.

How…

What?

Class ends quickly, and before I know it, after school.

When she sees only me, she grabs Seok Joo-hyeok, who frowned at her, and has a three-way face-to-face.

It’s really a bit embarrassing All I did was help her, but her head hurts from being misunderstood.

“…How can I believe that.”

“No, no, that’s Joo Hyuk…”

“I also draw a line to all the women who approach me, and Choi Si-yoon is just helping. That kind of thing you think doesn’t happen.”

“So I…”

Fortunately, Seok Joo-hyeok, who moved first, bowed his head to Choi Si-yoon and received an answer… The catastrophe that deepened the emotional goal did not happen.

‘Since people have changed since raising their voice, they realized that something was wrong.’

Because Choi Si-yoon is in her mind every minute, every second, and every second.

“If anything, I’ll even show you the evidence.”

Unlock the phone and show the picture.

“…Cat?”

“No, not this one.”

Startled, he shows the other pictures sequentially.

All, all, all, all girlfriend pictures. There is only a girlfriend in the call history, and KakaoTalk, text messages, and SNS are all covered with girlfriends.

Seok Ju-hyeok’s complexion changes moment by moment as such information pours out one after another, as if he is determined not to allow any other woman to approach him.

“I’m tired of just paying attention to her girlfriend, let alone another woman. Why am I touching your slut?”

“Wait, are you a girl?!”

“Yeah. Isn’t it?”

“…”

“…That’s it. It’s bitter… Uh, anyway. That alone isn’t enough. There are so many cheating people in the world, whether they have a lover or not… Even seniors are overflowing with women. How are you going to explain this?”

Seok Joo-hyeok looks this way, wary. That doesn’t make sense.

“Fenrir.”

“…Yes?”

“It’s because of Fenrir.”

“…”

“At least, they are essential connections to catch that monster. Even after graduating from the academy, they keep in touch and are irreplaceable in narrowing the siege. “

“…Senior has a girlfriend, right?”

“That’s right. As I just showed you, we’re as special as the two of you. She’s the most important person I can’t be without. I assure you, if my girlfriend dies, I’ll die too. Because she’s such a precious person.”

“…But, shouldn’t that be the case? I think this is just wishful thinking…”

He looks at me with a very mischievous look.

“You’re right.”

“…Yes?”

“It’s windy.”

At this point, it must be acknowledged. If I keep refusing to admit it, I will be seen as a strange person.

It should show the reversal of the relationship. I have to highlight the fact that I am not the perpetrator, but the ‘victim’. I have to do that because I can break this damn frame.

‘Ha…’

I’ve been fucked dozens of times, so. It’s windy

Complicated

But… I can’t help it. It is like a natural disaster.

By the time the relationship has risen to a certain extent and my request has been met, I drew a line right away and raised my voice not to have sex, but if I got hit, I got kicked.

Let’s use this Sprinkle Fenrir, the target, on top of that, and mix in a bit of lies, and it’s perfect.

“The wind, right?”

Seok Joo-hyeok raised his guard to the highest level and sent Choi Si-yoon behind him.

It’s very special. To the point that it is peculiar.

‘That’s how important Choi Si-yoon is.’

I understand that feeling too.

“Right. But, I can’t help it.”

Put on a confused expression Even if you don’t make an effort, the expression that comes up on its own, put away the smoke.

Joo Hyuk.

Do you want to know what kind of life your senior has lived?

“As you know, I am from the same common people.”

Clear your throat.

“I know, as a senior who came in a year earlier, how hard life is at the academy. You know that Han Ye-rin harasses me with this clenched teeth? “Because I have a goal.”

“…But I won’t bother you now-“

“No, she’s still being bullied. Because she’s dragging me around because she likes the master-servant reversal situation. Anyway, since I don’t have any friends, I’m afraid I’m going to die. Then, I met her first friend.”

My first friend is Seokhyun Kim, but… Fuck. Done. A bitch like that is not my friend.

“I can’t believe that…”

“That’s right, Han Seol-ah.”

It’s Lee Arin, but I’m leaving it out here.

“We came from the same common people, so we got along well. Up to that point, I liked it. It was strong and very dependable, so I relied on it in many parts. Then, for some reason, our eyes met, and now we are in this state.”

“…”

“Siyoon. You, when you came to our class… Were you hanging in the air?”

“Yes? Yes…”

“What? Hanging in the air?”

Seok Joo-hyeok is embarrassed.

“Who hung it?”

“…Senior Han Seol-ah.”

“…What?”

Seok Joo-hyeok makes a foolish expression.

“You must have heard everything Seol-ah said there. She likes me and loves me. Actually, I have a girlfriend… Haha. On top of that, her power is strong enough to destroy many countries, and she is so common in the academy. The chaebols have such a unique position that they cannot touch even a hair, but what can I do as an ordinary commoner?”

“…”

Seok Ju-hyeok shuts his mouth.

“I don’t know what to do, but I can’t deny it if I use my strength. It’s impossible. But that girl likes me, and if there’s a girl who gets close to me, she’s fierce enough to forcibly throw me away. What would you choose at this time? Forced distance and meaningless resistance. Do you want to… Or do you want to keep your distance and keep yourself safe?”

“That is…”

“If it were me, I would choose the latter. I am actually doing it. This is such a problem. I definitely have the will to throw it out, but the situation doesn’t follow it.”

“Then, senpai… Senpai has that much charm…”

“It’s dangerous to be by your side? No, I’m just helping. As I said before, I’m from the same common people as you, and since I’m someone who’s experienced the same pain, I can’t just ignore this bullying, so I’m just helping out. There’s no need to be afraid. Then I’ll throw you out with all my might.”

“…”

“And it’s not like I’m only helping Choi Si-yoon.”

Seok Joo-hyeok nodded slowly.

“I have no intention of stealing your woman, so don’t worry. How about just dating right here? It’s obvious that you both have feelings…”

“…Ouch! That, that’s it, senpai…!”
“…!”

Choi Si-yoon was startled, his cheeks flushed red, and instinctively waved his hand.

“In the first place, the relationship between the two is so tight, but there is no gap for me to enter…”

As I scratch the back of my head, Seok Joo-hyeok hangs his head like an idiot and dyes his face red.

Look at me, I’m ashamed

“So, don’t worry. I’ll just help from time to time, so you protect your woman. If you have any difficulties, contact me, and I’ll help you to the best of my ability.”

I looked out the window and saw the setting sun falling below the horizon.

“…I understand now. Senior.”

Seok Joo-hyuk raises his head and looks at me with a reddened face.

“I just misunderstood… That, I’m sorry.”

He bows his head again and greets me. This time I wave my hand saying I’m fine. In the backlight, the shadows of the hands are scattered here and there.

“Whoa… Shall we go back now?”

After all the conversations, the misunderstanding was smoothly resolved. Seok Joo-hyeok’s expression shows such shame, it feels like one thing has been solved.

The night sky studded with stars is dragged behind the sunset that disappeared in an instant. A cool winter breeze whirls between the awkward trio.

“…Kuhm.”
“…”
“Whoa…”

Stretching while waiting for the bus. Seok Joo-hyuk doesn’t say anything, and Choi Si-yoon looks at me blankly.

“…”

No wonder.

An ominous feeling comes over me.
