Chapter 271 – Seolah Han (1)

Fortunately.

There was no case where Tae Ho’s curfew was reduced or his actions tightened like before. I love it and it just gives me more freedom.

‘That’s stupid.’

He doesn’t even know that a knife is at the end of his throat and he is doing only good things to others. He sits quietly in a cafe, twisting his gray hair… Waiting for the man I love the most. Perhaps because of his unique short stature, every time he enters the cafe alone, the waiter is looking for a guardian.

‘I’m very famous…’

Cut off.

I sip my Americano through a straw and glance at the time. Now it’s time for him to come… Ah.

“…You have to stand.”

“Tae-ho…”

It took only two days for Tae Ho to return. Allies collided with each other and called me three times faster than expected in a week. That fact drove me crazy. When I received the text message, I was so happy that I jumped on the bed like a live fish.

The fact that it came sooner than expected means that the heart is ready. In that case, it would be okay if we acted first.

We were already ready to release the ‘poison’ between the two.

“…”

Seriously, Taeho is bad.

After making her like me like this, she left for another woman. When I finally married my girlfriend… Do you know how much I cried? I cried so much that I cried until my throat was hoarse, so I cried for a week, then woke up, cried, then went to sleep.

Because our relationship, which seemed to last forever, completely split from that point on.

Still can’t help it

I have calmed myself by thinking of things like that. But you don’t have to do that anymore, do you?

…Because love is about winning.

The weak side will be taken away. And I was weak But not anymore.

I’m stronger

Note

I’ll make you realize that to the bone.

“It’s been a while, Taeho…”

“We met yesterday too.”

Tae-ho averted his gaze and answered bluntly. Really, nothing has changed.

“That’s not what I mean… I mean, it’s been 3 years since we last…”

“…”

“I really missed you. I really, really missed you a lot.”

The reason I am here today is simple.

To flirt

The body has already passed.

However, our purpose and my purpose are not limited to ‘body’. It was like that from the beginning. We, who have fallen for Taeho to the core, are not satisfied with our bodies.

I want everything about Taeho.

Among them, what we want most is Taeho’s love. Mind. Love and affection. The ‘sex’ we had was just a means.

I came to level the ground today.

Because I am the closest person to Taeho.

That’s why just listening to it makes me happy. My shoulders just go up. I’m at the forefront If that’s the case, you’ll need to pave the way as well as you’re going ahead.

“…I miss you?”

“Huh.”

Really.

I missed you so much.

“Hey Tae-ho… How is it that we meet friends after a long time?”

“Well.”

Taeho quietly avoids his gaze. It was evident that her face was slightly red. Seeing this, the corners of his lips twitched.

“Let’s stay at our cafe for a while and then go somewhere to play…”

“No…Yes. But not too late?”

“Huh, I know…”

Sunshine coming through the cafe window heats up the table. Perhaps it was in the midst of the intense heat in August, a haze was slowly rising on the roadside. When I first saw Taeho back then, he was completely tanned and a bully, but now he’s just normal.

His skin was normal, his blonde hair returned to black, and he lost his muscles and became like a normal person.

Somehow, it seems to be a little cooler… I think.

Her face turns red rapidly.

Even if you try to keep your composure, it’s not easy. A flush rises in my beating heart. I hold the coffee cup tightly for no reason.. As the water droplets formed by condensation touch my palm, I feel a little calmed down by the coolness.

“You can do it right away if you want…”

“Now, now! Hey, shall we go now?”

“Yes…”

When I sneakily appealed to Tae-ho, he got up from his seat in surprise. Then, I notice the identity of the atmosphere I felt in the middle of the day.

‘This, that’s it…’

Is this how a man feels when he sees Missy? Taeho had such a ‘New City Missy’ atmosphere. Not good for real women. If a guy like this was going around, he probably would have just closed his eyes and ate it right away.

‘As expected, I have to protect Taeho…’

It’s just that the person itself is so naughty.

It was like walking sex. The stimulation is so strong, the uterus is already sinking. Hiding the secret love juice with magic, he follows Tae-ho out of the cafe.

“I’m sorry…”

Really.

I’m not crazy either.

The place I arrived along Taiho was the library.

“No, Tae-ho…”

I’m serious?

“…”

Taeho awkwardly averts his gaze. After roughly grasping his intentions, I poke him in the side of Kuk-Cuk, and he stretches in embarrassment.

‘I’m trying to avoid sex somehow…’

I found a particularly quiet place. It’s just, to a library that doesn’t have that kind of atmosphere at all. But Taeho…

You got fucked by me at the library the other day too.

It was like advertising to eat me. I keep getting my appetite back. But you have to be patient. Eating is the last thing. Until then, as much as possible… I have to make Taeho like me and accept my heart.

“Tae-ho, what if I ask you to go on a date at the library…”

“Well, what about a date…! I just came because I had a book to borrow.”

Taeho waved his hands like an idiot. Um, that’s right…

“Really…?”

Naturally.

Cross your arms and do skinship. The sound of a beating heart is transmitted all the way here. It was clear that he was excited because he had been overlapping his body just yesterday. I smile happily and look up at Taeho.

“Whoa… Let’s go quickly.”

It was cute how he forced himself to avert his gaze.

“Yes. Let’s go quickly…”

It was quite a large library, so there were quite a lot of people. Follow Taeho to a corner seat. Books related to ‘Mamulology’, which deals with the study related to monsters, fill your eyes.

“Mamulology? Suddenly, why is Mamulology? Taeho, hey…”

“I’m trying to help my wife. Recently, while expanding items, I’m also touching the monster side.”

“…”

Also.

All I can think about is my wife.

“Okay? Then I’ll help…”

“Huh?”

The time to feel bitter is over.

Looking at Taeho’s single-minded appearance, I’m not afraid anymore.

‘Cause I’ll break everything

Take out the ‘Monster’s Survival Strategy from the Evolutionary Biological Perspective’ inserted in the middle of the bookshelf. Without stopping, he brought up “Cooperation: Monsters and Gates” And the recent “Physiological Proximity of Monsters and Humans”.

Except for the last book, I read all of them often. To calm my mind when I was struggling with my identity between monsters and humans… I didn’t put the book in my hands until the resemblance disappeared.

But not anymore.

Because Tae-ho told me.

I’m a human, not a monster. And even if I was a monster, I told them that I was ‘Han Seol-ah’. Maybe, from that moment on, I might have fallen for it. From the moment I realized that I was ‘me’.

Seriously, unnecessarily kind… Nice, sometimes cool.

If that’s the case, you can’t help but love.

Therefore.

Don’t miss

Never.

“Tae-ho is smart, so it shouldn’t be difficult to understand… You should study hard and help your wife, right?”

As I put the book on the seat with a smile, Taeho scratches his cheek and nods his head.

“…Huh.”

“Then, sit down quickly, Taeho. I’ll tell you one by one. Come to think of it, ah… It’s been a while Taeho.”

“…”

Taeho’s cheeks turn a little red. I couldn’t stand the left atrium and right atrium going wild, perhaps because it’s been so long. I hold back my heart beating fast and open the first book.

“Did you know that monsters evolve too? Taeho.”

“…I know.”

“There are a lot of words that modify monsters. They want to fuse themselves, but in the process, they say that they don’t care even if their ego and body initiative are deprived, and they say that they are like ‘fire moths’. They say it’s the same. But besides this, there’s another word that modifies monsters. Do you know what it is?”

“Drosophila?”

“Yes. That’s right. It’s ‘Drosophila’, Taeho…”

Sneak

Lean on Taeho’s side. He organizes important theories on the notebook he took out of his bag and makes skinship with them naturally.

I can hear the beating of my heart from here.

“It is also called a ‘humanoid fruit fly’. The ‘generation’ of monsters evolving that much is very short… Monsters also have DNA like humans, but the cycle is only about one twentieth of that of humans… Roughly speaking, the average age of giving birth in Korea is 30 years old, so it can be said that monsters give birth roughly every 1 year and 6 months.”

“No, I have to stand for a while… Isn’t it too close?”

“Hehe. Why, why…? Taeho. Isn’t this a normal street?”

Taeho’s breathing becomes slightly rough as I hold his hand with a prickly smile. I feel the sound of my pounding heart meeting each other and touching each other. When their eyes met unexpectedly, they hurriedly averted their gaze at the same time.

“Uh, uh, anyway… You mean the generation cycle of monsters is short?”

It feels different.

Unlike the past, when they consistently avoided it, the atmosphere was different now. As if watching a fresh, fresh college couple, from a certain moment, the gap between Taeho and I narrowed.

My head is spinning.

My face melts with a feeling of bliss.

“…Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

If I’m out of my mind

Tae-ho abruptly.

Put your hand on your forehead.

“Uh, uh huh?! Yeah, me, I’m fine…♡”

When the expression is relaxed in an instant, he hurriedly turns his head and avoids his eyes. My heart is beating wildly. No, no no no, wait a minute?!

“Uh, yes, yes…”

Gee, have you seen my face now?

Obviously saw Gee, I’m really ashamed to die. Bah, I need to tell you about the monsters quickly, but my hands are shaking so I can’t do anything. More than that, I have a wife, so it’s okay if I just put my hand on my forehead like that, is it okay? Aren’t you too defenseless?

“Whoa… Whoa… Uh, anyway. Using the short generation cycle of these monsters, the development of various new drugs has recently been activated… Monsters and humans are different, but if you look at low-risk monsters, you’ll definitely find humans.” Doesn’t it look like it was modeled after it? Companies are keeping their eyes on this right now…”

My heart is beating wildly.

Fortunately, I’m not the only one who does this. Because Tae-ho next to him is also reacting… Oh, it’s okay.

“Except for ‘medium-danger’ monsters whose structure has already changed too much… You’re trying to catch low-risk monsters that are similar to humans but not dangerous, and are divided into parts…? Several facts were revealed in the process, do you know what one of them is?”

“…What?”

“Unexpectedly… The fact that humans and monsters are ‘very’ similar.”

He held Taeho’s hand tightly and shared his body temperature.

“…Heh. Taeho. I’m telling you, you have to concentrate… What’s wrong?”

“No, no. No…”

Tae-ho panics and tries to fall from the side.

“I can’t… Don’t let go, Taeho.”

Taeho’s eyes tremble as I look up with a bashful smile. I’m not doing anything naughty. Just simple skinship and eye contact. I get a dangerous feeling from Tae-ho, who reacts with that alone.

Heart is in danger

“Uh, anyway… Do monsters have a ‘central nucleus’ that is in charge of thinking just like the ‘brain’ of humans…? Aside from this, the body structure isn’t much different from humans. Ah… That’s right. It doesn’t even have internal organs… Because monsters eat magic stones.”

Literally, it’s a commotion.

The monster’s ecosystem ended with just one. Monster. Demons and demons. And monsters.

“…But. Recently, it’s been hard to get energy even with magic stones. Monsters have ‘evolved’… That’s it.”

Point your finger at the anatomical diagram of the monster with the stomach.

“Monsters also make stomachs and ‘digest’ organisms… Old generation monsters can only shape stomachs, but cannot digest them? But not these days… After going through modern times, many monsters died… Then what should I do? There is nothing to eat. That’s why I evolved…”

The one who didn’t eat died.

The monsters who survived naturally started looking for energy elsewhere. That’s organism. And among organisms…

“Including humans. Humans are also lumps of protein… Also, lately, it’s been known that monsters are reluctant to ‘fusion’.”

“Wait, you don’t like fusion?”

Taeho puts on a slightly surprised expression.

“Yeah. That takes too much energy.”

A survival strategy.

The monster suddenly found itself in a position where it had to conserve energy. Because if you don’t save it, you die. Is it any good to eat ‘organisms’ that are less efficient than ‘magic stones’?

“So, as time goes by, monsters are gradually getting closer to ‘animals’. They are also animals ‘most similar’ to humans. So, if you are expanding your items right now, I’d recommend going into the restricted area…”

“I need to stand still.”

“Yes?”

“So… Didn’t monsters start fusion with humans three years ago? What is that? They say it takes too much energy.”

Simple.

“That’s less energy consuming…”

Fusion with humans was quite economical, as it dropped from 50 to 1/100. But that alone didn’t explain it. Why do monsters fuse with humans? Without eating?

“Isn’t it dangerous?”

A little.

Leaning his head on Taeho’s shoulder, he recited the knowledge he knew.

“It’s okay because they’re catching it one after another… But it’s certain that it’s different from usual. Monsters are consuming ‘memory’ while merging with humans… The central core is growing rapidly.”

And become human

“Monsters are pretending to be humans… Kuhmm, me, similar to me. If there’s a difference, the monsters don’t even recognize it. There.”

A bizarre survival strategy.

Scholars call this the ‘end of evolution’. The end of evolution is parasitism. It was nothing more and nothing less.

“Wait, then…”

“That’s right.”

You can use it.

“Monsters aren’t within the bounds of the law… But, except for one central core and humans, all the same monsters roam around? There’s nothing as coveted as a pharmaceutical company.”

It was impossible to do something like a ‘body transplant’ because it had not yet been verified, but there was no problem in testing the drug. It was good because the target to be overlaid was also limited to ‘criminals’.

Of course, since the ego is that of a basic human, related groups stage protests or protests… But it was not a consideration for mankind, who were already full of hatred for monsters. Humanity still suffers from PTSD.

“This is a blue ocean, Tae-ho… So, talk to your wife.”

“…”

Taeho stays still with a worried look. This is the hottest topic, but I think it was too irritating.

“Then, Tae-ho… How about this?”

Close the book and take out another book. It is a thick book about cooperation between monsters and gates.

“What is this?”

Taeho returns with a serious expression. When I gently touch my hand, I am startled and startled and fall away from the side. Rather than a look of dislike, a look of bewilderment came first. His mouth moves first.

“…Love you.”

“What?”

“Oh, no… Gye, I’ll continue explaining?”

Swallowing the confession that was said in a small mumble, he averted his eyes while giggling.

I glanced at Taeho and saw that the blush had risen up to his earlobe.

My heart is beating wildly.

Studying with Seol-ah after a long time? Are you nervous? No. Too close. The distance is so close that it’s hard to come to my senses. Is it because you haven’t met a girl in a while?

No, the feeling was different.

I wouldn’t be thrilled even if I got this close to a normal person or a girl with no age who I just met on the street. It’s not just an expectation, it’s actually like that. As her wife’s restraints were released, I tried to talk with a person who recognized me, but there was no stimulation to this extent.

There’s just a slight discomfort, no pounding. But Seol-ah was different.

‘…Love you.’

I meditate on what Seol-Ah just said. It’s a fact you already know. But she didn’t know how to love yet. When she realizes that, she quits.

…I was relieved.

“…Tae-ho? Tae-ho?”

Seol-ah pokes her finger in my shoulder. And then

“Are you okay…?”

Put your hand on my forehead Then the heat ran through her whole body. Other emotions preceded her embarrassment that she had been given back what she had done. In her current state, she couldn’t bear to make eye contact.

“…Okay, it’s okay.”

She muttered as she removed Seol-ah’s hand from her forehead.
