Chapter 76 – Face to Face

Lunch the next day.

My head is steaming, my legs are shaking, and my back is drenched in a cold sweat.

No, I’ll protect you!

I can’t really concentrate in class. Arin Lee is kicked out of her family, Yerin Han clings to me all day, I feel bad for laughing when I take out the notebook Ji gave me, and when I walk down the hallway after class, the curious eyes of the students are stuck in my stomach, and when I wake up, I notice the roof railing You may find yourself leaning on it.

Even when she approaches Arin because she keeps worrying, she refuses and waves her hand… It’s blocking the source. She looks up at the jingling sky and lets out her deep sigh.

“Ha…”

Fuck.

I wondered if I finally got a good card, but it got shredded right away. Young’s road ahead is just bleak. The warm wind blowing from the side fluttered her blouse.

It feels like being forced into a defensive position.

I do my best as myself, but the sky is like ‘fuck it’ and returns to the starting point. Fuck. Nothing worked out for a moment…

So what about my training?

“Ah.”

I have to go to Ijega to train, grow, and I have to… Now Iarin… Haa.

Even growth was hindered. Is it the real origin? In the suffocation, he hit her head with the palm of her hand.

“Fuck…”

Looking up at the sky, passing clouds sparsely cover the sun.

Driving me crazy.

*

*

*

Why.

Shocking.

“Ha…”

As I trudged along the hallway, as usual, people split like the Red Sea. He is a younger brother whom I really love and like, but why…

Do something like that.

Her whining head rings. It’s hard and it’s hard and it’s hard to organize your thoughts. Even if he approaches his younger brother, he runs away quickly, and whatever the family tries to help him, he blocks it at the level of Han Seok-ga, and it is blocked at the source.

It’s just sad wanting to take everything on their own. Knowing that everything my brother did was wrong, for me, the fact that I can’t do anything eats away at my heart.

I want to solve this heart, but I can’t.

Like being crushed by a rock. Do you feel like your chest is full of dirt and clogged with blood?

Ah.

It has always been like this. My mannequin-like face, blunt expression, and hard tone. Everything is putting me on the defensive.

No understanding

If there is, it is only the mother and father. No friends, no people, no love – now.

Don’t even have a brother

Ah.

My younger brother was kicked out by the family, and I cried like an idiot in a corner of the room for a while. Even if you know that your younger brother did something wrong and should be punished sweetly, after all. Because the reality is different.

It’s still far away, but it just keeps getting further away.

I can’t catch you Even though we are related by blood, the world separates us.

The fact is painful enough to pierce, and the whole body loses strength. My heart keeps pounding.

Ah.

A new understanding is needed. A new person who will understand me. Right now, it’s just desperate. As father and mother- no. Ah, the person closest to me right now is… Ha.

There is no one.

Everyone just avoids me. I’m not originally that kind of person- the nail has already been nailed in and I can’t pull it out. Alas, the nails grow. I have to pull it out, I have to pull it out-

“Ah…”

I hit my head with the palm of my hand in pain.

I am.

I like my brother

Really.

I like it more than anyone else.

You don’t even understand, you’re leaving like this.

He stumbles and slowly climbs the stairs. Right now, I just want to cool my head. Heartbreaking like crazy The front of my eyes gets blurry. With a rattling sound, I open the roof door. At that place.

There was Kim Tae-ho.

*

*

*

Leaning against the roof railing and sighing heavily, I hear the door open behind me. I slowly turn my head and there it is.

“…Uh?”

“…I’m sorry.”

There was Socheon Lee.

If you lean against the railing, Socheon Lee slowly approaches you with an expressionless face and leans against the railing next to you. Oops, oops. It looks at me and makes strange noises, then moves away. Then.

“Ha…”

Suddenly take a deep breath I forcibly turned my stiff head and looked straight ahead. Fuck. What?

As if the air had stopped, fear and awkwardness intertwined here and there and dominated her entire body. Am I being eaten again? No, are you dying?

If you grit your teeth in tension… From afar.

“Whoops, whoops, whoops… Whoops…”

Crying is heard. The string of tension that had been pulled tight is released in vain. Drops of water fall down along the cheeks of Li Xiaocheon.

“What…”

Embarrassment precedes fear, tickling her chest. No, Socheon Lee…Crying? Why? Can not understand. Slowly and closely, she gently tapped Isochen’s shoulder with her finger, as if touching her tiger. Iso-Chun suddenly turns her head towards me.

“Huh… Uhhhhh…”

Weird.

All of the depressing ’emotions’ are revealed on the expression, which doubles the embarrassment. It’s the same as back then. Fear disappears, and curiosity takes its place. A feeling similar to when I had sex with Iso-Chun in her classroom. No, it’s similar, but different.

“Huhhhhh”

There is no such thing as ‘threat’ here. It’s just that the emotions that flow desperately are revealed on her face.

Am embarrassed.

As if in pain, Li So-cheon trembled her hand. She looked at it and reflexively.

“Hey… Are you okay?”

I ask if he’s okay. Fuck. Mouth is always a problem.

“Heheh, uhhh… No…”

Li Xiaochen hesitated and shook her head. She falls from my side as if slightly wary.

“Because of what…”

“Huh, huh… Hah… There’s something like that.”

Socheon Lee is vaguely confused. She slightly turns her head to look at the iso cloth, her lips pursed. As time passes and her tears stop, Li So-cheon opens her mouth.

“Brother…”

Isocheon avoids her gaze.

“Your brother?”

“Yes…”

Li Xiaochen let out a short sigh, then lifted her head and gazed blankly at the sky. Her clouds slowly flow in line. Momentary silence.

“Now, ha… I can’t meet you. So, I’m worried… I’m sorry.”

Her groggy eyes stare at me. Her emotions are revealed enough that you can immediately feel that she is holding back her crying. At the same time, confusion fills her head.

I feel it instinctively.

That’s not smoke. Is it different from sex? At that time, I still didn’t get out of the stage of ‘doubt’, but now…

Because the emotions on her face are so obvious that anyone can tell that she is ‘sincere’.

Confusing. No, then what is Lee So-cheon up to now… What is it? What is the usual blunt, mannequin-like Li Xiaochun? She is no match no way.

Are you saying that the personality you showed during sex is real?

Rummage through pockets

“Even this…”

Hands her handkerchief to Isocheon. The usual Lee So-cheon would reject this as saying he didn’t need it. Iso-Chen hesitates before accepting her handkerchief. Then.

“Thank you…”

She says thank you no fuck It feels like getting hit in the head with a hammer. Really?

My head is dizzy from the increasing confusion. That she wasn’t real the way she showed up until now? I do not know yet. It may be my delusion. He slowly approaches Socheon Lee. Swallowing her saliva

“Are you okay.”

Gently pat Lee So-cheon on the back. Her hands tremble with fear creeping up. Normally, her wrist would break…

“Hey, hey… Hey…”

Nothing happens. It’s just that the tears I’ve been holding back for so long are once again shed.

…Is it true?

Is Li So-cheon, who kills people on the spur of the moment, actually—a normal person crying over her brother being kicked out? I stop her hand that was slowly tapping on my back.

“Haha…”

Li Socheon raises her head and looks at me. The area around her eyes is slightly swollen. Now, all you have to do is check.

“Senior Lee Socheon. I have a question…”

“I’m sorry, huh?”

“Lee Socheon sunbaenim actually…”

Personality, isn’t it normal?

*

*

*

“Oh.”

Both eyes light up. As soon as I heard that, my emotions started to rise.

“What, what?”

Embarrassment and joy spread throughout the body. Someone reached out to him at the edge of the cliff. Looking at Kim Tae-ho, he smiles awkwardly.

I’ve been looking for an understanding person for a long time. A new understanding, not a mother or father.

That understanding is right in front of you.

I hurriedly nodded her head.

“Then… Er, why have you been blunt until now…?”

Lick her lips, open her mouth

“Me too, I don’t know… Really… I can’t help but feel…”

“Yes?”

“I’ve never been a psychopath, never bullied my younger siblings, never killed anyone… But, everyone says it’s true because my expression is scary…”

Gibberish. Geography disintegration. The thought of meeting an understanding person makes me tremble. I am overwhelmed with emotions and tears are welling up. Originally, I don’t cry often… Originally, even when I cry… I cry sometimes. When the mind is driven to the end, it does not stop. Weird. Obviously Kim Tae-ho is the trash I saw in the comics, but the words don’t stop.

“So… Hehe, I tried to change…”

Nothing has changed

“Really, oops, nothing has changed. Not a bit… Oops, I’m no different from mom… Me, I… I tried really hard…!”

Eyes meet each other.

“I’m not originally a scary person, so… But everyone misunderstands… Ugh…”

Like an idiot, I shed tears again. As I leaned over the railing, Kim Tae-ho slowly raised me up.

“No, wait. Then… Everything I’ve shown you so far isn’t true. Are you saying this is real now?”

Taeho Kim asks me with a sincere expression. Ah, that’s real This is the first time ever. It’s been like this before. I was ignored at the time. It’s different now.

Tae Ho is different.

Upon realizing that fact, other emotions begin to surge. It’s a little bit, but the cheeks are red.

“Huh…”

When I nodded, Taeho made a surprised expression. Then… Stay still.

Momentary silence.

Ah, ah… You don’t believe me? No, no. I have to believe-

“All right.”

Taeho nodded.

“…Ah.”

I believed

“I’ll believe you.”

I ignored everyone else, but I didn’t believe them all. Taeho. You.

You believe me.

The feelings that were pushed to the edge of the cliff gradually return to their original state. But, why? It’s Taeho. Are you doing this to me

Weird. Taeho is definitely… A piece of trash who eats both men and women… He’s a bad person who fucks my sister…

Why are you so kind?

“That, Kim Tae-ho…”

“Uh, yes?”

“You weren’t originally… A bad person, were you?”

Slowly approaching Taeho. A question mark floats above Taeho’s head.

“That, you know that… Just like a cartoon, fuck someone-“

“Yes, yes?! Yes? No? No?”

Tae-ho gets flustered and shakes his hand. Cold sweat dripped on Taeho’s forehead incessantly.

“That’s true-“

Tae-ho averts his gaze.

“I’m the one who… Gets eaten.”

…Huh?

“What?”

For a moment.

Um, uh…

What?

Suddenly, his head is confused. That what?

“Is this a joke…?”

I look at Tae-ho and smile awkwardly. Yea, but still…

“That’s true…”

“Uh, uh? No, then why did my sister…”

“I was forced to…”

Look at Taeho’s expression. Looking into his eyes… I can only see sincerity. No really? So… Are you saying that my brother forcibly ate Tae Ho?

Awkward air. Ooh, let’s turn the subject first.

“By the way, Kim Tae-ho. Why are you doing this here?”

“It’s nothing.”

Taeho lets out a short sigh.

“Iarin was kicked out of Ijega. I should have gone to Ijega to train… But I can’t do that anymore…”

Ah…

My heart starts pounding again. Weird. My cheeks keep trying to turn red. I hurriedly averted my gaze and looked to the side. Tae-ho… Wants to come to Ijega? But… You can’t go in because your brother was kicked out?

Just…

I can help

“Don’t worry.”

“Yes?”

“I’ll talk to my father once.”

“…Yes?”

Weird. Mouth moves by itself.

“My father is tolerant of things like this. He doesn’t stop people from coming to learn.”

Weird. I don’t want to miss out. A little bit, I want to hold on

“That… When are you going to train?”

“Yes? As soon as possible-“

“Then it’s okay to come today.”

“Yes?”

Tae-ho is confused. It’s hard to keep your eyes on the strangely reddened face. Really, really weird I live…

This feeling.

I’ve never felt it.

“But… Are you okay?”

*

*

*

Early in the morning when it was getting dark.

Really came

Now that Iarin has been kicked out of Ijega, she thought she’d never get in for the rest of her life… She has a new ring. Fuck… I really couldn’t believe it.

I didn’t know Socheon Lee was wearing a mask. When she crosses the long stone road and arrives in front of the Great Cheongmaru, Lee Cheon-hwa, the head of the house, greets me.

“How often do you seem to see it?”

Cheonhwa Lee chuckles. Li So-cheon, who was next to her, waved her hand roughly and went into her room.

“Would you like to come and sit down?”

Yi Chun-hwa points her finger at the cushion in front of her. He nods her head and sits down. Then she raises her glass and sips her drink.

“I’m sorry, I’ve got work for a while. I can’t stand it without drinking.”

“…”

Slightly awkward atmosphere. I’m sure it’s because of Irene. What’s the point of being still, she opens her mouth.

“That… The head of the household.”

“Yes?”

“Umm… Aren’t you worried?”

Eyes meet each other.

“Well, don’t worry, don’t worry.”

“I’m worried, but why…”

“You’re doing this because you’re worried.”

Lee Chun-hwa’s eyebrows hardened. Red-hot cheeks show that he is drunk.

“Yes?”

“If it goes in a dangerous direction, it is a father’s duty to fix it. Arin also said that she was ready for everything herself.”

“Be prepared to endure that ‘stare’. I’m ready to accept that everyone ‘despise’ me.”

Cheonhwa Lee takes a sip of alcohol.

“And, she said, there is no other way for her to repent.

It’s the same as Iarin said. Lee Chun-hwa’s unique red eyes look at me.

“So, I decided to listen.”

“I didn’t have anything to say. Yesterday, the family head of Han Seok-ga came to see me.”

“He got really hot and got really angry. He said that he would tear up that bitch’s ass and throw it as dog food – it took a while to calm him down.”

Cheonhwa Lee clicks her tongue. I’m laughing, but the joy doesn’t come out. It’s just that, it’s just empty-hearted.

“The son said. Everything else is good, but he asked me not to send him to ‘prison’.

“The day Arin came back, she scolded me sincerely. It wasn’t just Han Seok-ga who was angry, so I also acted as a father.”

“But… As a father, sending her daughter to prison… Hah. I can’t stand it.”

Yi Chun-hwa sighed briefly.

“Arin, she wanted to go to prison. She said, if that’s the way, she wants to go there.”

“I dried and dried the family tree… I persuaded them to expel them from the family before winter break.”

“Your will is worth it.”

“They say she’ll kick her out without giving any help, no money, nothing. Her daughter would know like an idiot… Ha ha.”

Gazoo gulps down the sake.

“Would you like a drink?”

“No, that, no… It’s okay.”

“Keuheum. Um… So, why did Jeego come to visit?”

Lee Chun-hwa looks at me with a drunken face.

There is no reason why she came here.

“To be taught.”

Teaching. Exactly-

“I came to Lee Je-ga because I wanted to get used to ‘spirit’.”

To fill in the missing points. I felt desperately in the previous image world.

Just one step.

He took one step and died without being able to do anything.

Lee Chun-hwa sips rice wine again.

“Well, that looks good.”

“Getting used to ‘spirit’ is the basic of the basics.

Lee Chun-hwa hiccups. It seems that the drunkenness has risen completely.

“As it stands now… It’s hard to help properly, gwap, gwa… Hah…”

As Lee Cheon-hwa sighs, the smell of her alcohol reaches her nose. Get up from your seat

“Then later-“

“No no no.”

Lee Chun-hwa waved his hand. She forces me to sit on the cushion again. The smell of her alcohol stings her nose.

“I’ve come a long way, but I can’t send you back with nothing, yup, there’s no… Ummm…”

Lee Chun-hwa rummages through her pockets and takes out a black stone and a white stone.

“I’m not the only one who can handle this. Don’t worry too much.”

Then.

“Socheon Ah~”

In her intoxicated voice, she calls Li So-cheon.

Hearing a sound, the next door opens.

“Huh?”

“I have something to help you with, is that okay…?”

“Uh?”

She reluctantly spreads Li So-cheon’s hand and holds her black and white stones.

“Take this and go to the waiting room with that friend… Help me with training.”

Li Chunhua got up from her seat, then she suddenly hugged Li Xiaochen.

“Socheonaa~ keup, uhhh.”

“Ugh, ugh, the smell of father’s alcohol…”

She hugs her like that for a while, then she giggles and goes back to her room.

A storm passes, and she is left alone. She awkwardly exchanges glances.

“Kim Tae-ho.”

“Yes?”

“…Shall we go?”

With her nod, Li Xiaochen helped me up.

…Are you okay?

*

*

*

Lay him down and tell him to calm down. She holds the black stone in her hand.

Weird.

I’ve been just looking at Tae-ho since earlier. My heart is pounding.

“Now… Do it?”

After holding Baekseok in his hand, he meets Taeho’s gaze. I hurriedly averted her gaze as I felt her face and lower body burning up.

As Tae-ho slowly closes his eyes, I also focus on Baek-seok. I’ve used this often… I can’t make a mistake.

I have to focus on Baekseok… But my eyes keep turning to Taeho.

Looking at Taeho, my gaze…

Touches the groin

“…I’m sorry.”

Your cheeks turn red again. The lower body reacted, and hot breath came out intermittently.

“Eww…”

Taeho frowned. You should be facing Fenrir by now.

Slowly, it approaches Taeho. I know. That this is crazy

Usually, once you fall into the world of images, it takes about 30 minutes to wake up, and about an hour to wake up…

Slowly sit down next to Taeho. Haha… Ok, but…

…A little bit.

It’s okay… Wouldn’t it?

Glul-guk- saliva goes over.

Really.

As long as you don’t get caught… It’s okay…

White hands slowly.

Touches the groin
