Chapter 99 – Because We’re Friends

A week has passed.

The closer you get to Taeho, the closer you get. There was nothing far away. I tried to protect Taeho from Han Yerin in the middle. Didn’t even try Null groups are scary. Fear dominates emotions, so I couldn’t even approach it because I was scared. Even if you know that Han Ye-rin bullies Tae-ho severely. Her feet didn’t fall off.

Even if that fact hurts, and I’m sorry again, even if her heart is depressed. She couldn’t let go of Tae-ho, so she kept seeing him from time to time and continued to build friendships.

‘Eh, every time we meet, he’s considerate, and every time we see him, he’s trustworthy…’

Her heart is pounding. Taihu is good as a human, and Taihu is also good as a monster. For the first time, the two emotions that were constantly compatible are merging into one and heading towards one person.

I want to be friends with Taeho. No, maybe more…

“Ha…”

I don’t know.

I feel insecure these days.

At that time, after meeting that monster, she felt that her anxiety was amplified. To be exact – after seeing that ‘flesh’. A great uneasiness lingers in her heart and does not leave.

She has been living with her dad for 7 years now. In the interim, I faced many male monsters. Because the excitement and fear were maximized… Never before.

Dangerous.

Only that thought

If there is a ‘flesh’ that touches my instincts to that extent in the first place. If there is a flesh that makes my mind go to that extent and makes me excited again. All other monsters must be the same.

Pivot point.

It is a piece of flesh with ‘power’ enough to attract monsters to one place.

As expected, Phil. If Tae Ho hadn’t killed the monster at that time, it would have grown into a high-risk monster in a short period of time. Awaken instinctively. That flesh is not that of an ordinary monster. It’s something else Even when I saw other monsters, I didn’t feel “Attracted” At all. The flesh was different. So clearly.

Tried to merge with me.

“Ha…”

Shake your head from side to side to shake off the thoughts that circumvent the central core. Even if I try to shake it off, it stays in my head and keeps bothering me. Once again, the feeling of narrowing the field of view. Then.

“…Ugh?!”

Trip over a rock and fall

“OMG…”

Cheolpuduck – slam your forehead on the stone floor.

‘I’m walking while thinking about something else so I don’t fall…!’

I press my hand on my painful forehead and stand up. Heals the blood flowing from the forehead. Then.

“Eww, my ankle…”

Find a slightly swollen ankle. The ankle swells and turns blue. As he tried to treat his ankle, he stopped his hand. It can be done, but it takes too long.

Let’s just go to the infirmary.

He limps and enters the building. Slowly go up the stairs and walk down the hallway. Then, he finds Taeho in the distance. Tae Ho approaches me.

“I’m sorry…”

Wave your hand briefly toward Taeho.

“Where are you hurt?”

Taeho approaches me in a friendly way. Then, when he sees my ankle, he is surprised.

“Ugh… I’m on my way to the health room…”

Make eye contact

“Can I help you?”

“Yes…?”

Huh?

‘Go, suddenly…?’

Your face turns red once again. I don’t care, I turn around with one knee down.

I feel like my face is going to melt because I can’t seem to get hot. My head can’t keep up with the situation. Even if they became friends recently… No way.

Are you interested in me?

When the thought reaches that point, steam rises in a lump on the forehead. I can’t even lift my head in shame.

“Get up.”

“Uh-huh…? Are you okay…?”

Are you really okay?

Taeho nodded. This is already beyond consideration. It is something more. Can it really be lifted up? My heart is beating so fast that my vision is shaking.

It’s sudden. It’s so sudden.

“That, go… Thank you…”

However, I don’t like it.

Carefully put your hand around Taeho’s neck. The thumping heart is transmitted to Tae-ho as it is.

“Tae-ho… It’s a little bit uh… It’s embarrassing…”

As soon as he is carried on his back by Taeho, the anxiety he has kept in his heart disappears like snow. It’s the focal point, the flesh, and I don’t know anything. I don’t know all the gazes around me.

I don’t know anything except Taeho.

The feeling that all the things that made me anxious are gradually moving away.

His heart is pounding non-stop, and his face is red like a blush. Haha, his rough breath reaches Tae Ho’s ears. I’m embarrassed. Still, good.

The feeling of being depended on.

I think I’ll melt into this feeling. It’s different from my dad. A little more…

As the opposite sex.

Feeling of getting closer.

In the end, until Tae-ho arrives at the health room.

He couldn’t lift his reddened face.

Next day.

When I look at Taeho, my heart keeps beating, making it hard to meet eyes. Something more than a friend. When he gets close, he forgets whether he is a monster or a human. Like an idiot, I can only see Taeho.

‘This is strange…!’

Looking at Taeho since then, it’s hard to calm down. Pretending to be calm, pretending to be aloof. I’m pretending to be pretending. Uneasy. In fact, he is the first friend of the opposite sex in his life. If I continue to be by your side… I think I will go further than that.

“It’s too high…”

Studying is the best way to calm your mind. Once you concentrate, nothing bothers you. I whimper and raise my heels to grab a book that is several steps above my head. Then. A shadow falls right next to it.

‘Yes…?’

It is Taeho.

“Ah, thank you…”

Taeho takes out a book and puts it in my hand. Again, the cheeks are burning red. Control it somehow Even so, emotions leaked out, and my cheeks blushed slightly.

I look at the book Taeho gave me. The magic blood and structure of the body. This is the most recent book. A dark red and thick book comes into my arms.

“Hey, do you have any interest in magic blood?”

“Ugh… I’m very interested in it… I need it. I need to continue to grow…”

Monsters can modify magic blood. Originally, the efficiency of human magic blood varies greatly from person to person. According to this, Magical Blood has an absolute position in magic, to the extent that magic talent is judged.

The fact that I have a fairly high position in magic. All of these things are possible because the magic blood can be modified. With the magic stone added to it, the more you learn and revise the Magic Blood, the more your skills skyrocket.

I need to study more in the future.

“If it’s heavy, can I lift it?”

“Ehh…? Gwa, it’s okay… I can lift it by myself-“

Taeho takes the book from my hand.

“Tae, Tae-ho? Tae-ho!”

I run around to grab a book. I can’t reach because of the height difference. Gee, I really don’t have to help…!

My heart beats again Tae-ho holds the book high and tries not to give it away. My face turns red. It’s okay. Even if I keep telling them to give it back, they won’t listen.

“Shall we go now?”

Taeho laughs mischievously. Seeing that, his face turns bright red as if it is about to explode. Seeing her smile, it’s hard to make eye contact.

“Well… I’m really fine…”

Tae-ho puts three books on his side. In the end, I can’t do this either and follow Tae-ho. I follow… Tae-ho walks too fast. As if something urgent…

“A little… Slowly…”

“Ah.”

Tae-ho says he’s sorry and walks with me. Something… I can feel the eyes around me… Ugh, boo, embarrassing.

“You have to stand.”

“Yes…?”

“Do you want to just climb up?”

Like an active volcano right before my face exploded. Blushing

“Ugh, ugh, ah.”

‘You said you’d carry me…?’

Like back then?

Let the memories rise above the water. Emotions fluctuate. Waving his hands around, he panicked. My heart was pounding like it would explode, and my feet were shaking. He lowers his head, and shakes his head, keeping his mouth shut.

If you do that again

I can’t stand it. It’s not embarrassing, but I can’t stand it in a different way!

Because I will completely fall for Taeho.

An awkward silence followed. Keeping each other’s mouths shut. Stay silent

“Yeah, you have to stand…”

Grab Taeho’s collar and stop still. Rolls his eyeballs around.

“Are you still working?”

“…No.”

“No? Why?”

“Dad… Because of the monsters… It’s dangerous so don’t do it…”

The voice is buried in emotion and comes out as if crawling.

Because monsters often appear. My dad banned the part-time job because he thought it was dangerous. It’s a part-time job that started to lighten my dad’s burden a little to earn money for magic stones. I quit because of the sewer.

As I walked, I arrived at the rental desk. Now all you have to do is pull out your card and pay.

“Oh, uh? Huh!? Tae, Tae-ho…?”

Taeho pays for my book with his card. Looking at the screen in embarrassment, the rental person is Han Seol-ah. He wrote in my name. The rental date is… One month. The rental fee of the Academy Library is famous for being expensive, and when new books are included, the rental fee exceeds 150,000 won.

But, that.

Swiped with his own card.

“I paid for it.”

“Uh… Uh? That, uh… Uh, uh…?”

I can’t control my facial expressions in embarrassment. I don’t know where to look, so I roll my eyes, stir the air with my hands, and my cheeks are dyed red, so I can’t control my emotions.

‘Why, why are you helping me so much…?!’

Embarrassed, and, at the same time, thankful.

Tae-ho tries to leave the library casually. Hurry up and grab Taeho’s collar. Tae Ho turns his head and looks at me. I can’t make eye contact. Confusing. However, I have to say this.

“Oh, thank you…”

He lifted his head slightly, met his gaze, and answered.

My heart beats and I convey my emotions to my head. Feeling for the first time.

Love.

A warm feeling gently tickles her chest.

Taeho nods his head and leaves his seat.

‘I can’t…’

Tae Ho.

Do you love

Steam billows over his head.

That day until you get home.

I couldn’t raise my head.

*

*

Every minute and every second is confusing.

From the point of view of half-monster and half-human, how could there ever be a day without confusion? These days, it’s especially worse. It was because I had never liked anyone before, and a new feeling came out of nowhere. I can’t adapt and I’m just confused.

‘If you look at Taeho…’

My heart is pounding.

Because I’ve never liked anyone of the opposite sex. My dad is in a father-daughter relationship, and I’ve never dated a friend of the opposite sex. Spring comes suddenly How to do this, how to approach Taeho. Get worried Shall we study together? Together… Where should we go to play?

Naturally, the eyes are also concerned.

How Taeho looks at me. What do you think of me Do you see them as more than friends or just friends?

Then, wouldn’t Tae-ho find out about these feelings? It becomes frantic.

Taeho can be seen in the distance. Getting closer

“Ah, Tae-ho…”

“…”

Taeho avoids me.

‘Yes…?’

What’s going on?

Again, even if you get close. Dodge again

Dodge again

Keep dodging

Even if it’s lunch time. Avoid endlessly.

Even if you get closer with your teeth gritting, it will run away from your field of vision as if you saw a tiger.

“Why, why are you doing this…!”

Did I do something wrong did I make a mistake? No. No matter how much I search my head and list the cases, nothing deserves it. Heh, I saw them having sex, but… Uhh, not like that! I haven’t seen the mansion since then! I don’t even know what to do now! Uh, anyway. I don’t answer when I call to find out what’s going on, and I feel like I’m going crazy!

For what reason are you doing that? I desperately shake my head. As you roll, you naturally come to a conclusion.

Yerin Han.

Knock-

Grit it Certainly, because I saw Han Ye-rin dragging Tae-ho. There is something. Did she even tell me not to play with me? It is evil. The fact that someone separates us brings tears to my eyes. His expression is distorted with a mixture of sadness and annoyance.

Let’s find Taeho.

Go up to the roof by teleportation and then float in the air with floating magic. Looking for taeho

“Blonde, tanned, asshole…”

Look for similar looks as much as possible. Being so unique It didn’t take long to find. Enveloped in light, the view changes.

“Whoop, whoop…”

Phut-

Light breaks out

Teleports in front of Taeho.

“Why… Are you running away…”

Tae-ho gets up from his seat by spinal reflex. He forcibly grabs Taeho and puts him back in his seat.

“I’m sorry… Run away…”

“You’re my friend… Why are you running away…?”

Make eye contact. Emotions intensify and facial expressions distort. Grit your teeth slightly take heart

“That, ha… There’s something like that.”

Tae-ho averts his gaze. Slowly sit next to Taeho and gaze at it.

“What’s going on… Is this…?”

Touch Taeho’s thighs with your fingers. Clearly something is going on. And, as expected, it was done by Han Ye-rin. The Han Ye-rin who treats my friend like a dog. She did something

“Tell me? I’m still close to you…”

Taeho shakes his head from side to side. Don’t like to talk? Both eyes twitch slightly. A mixture of emotions makes the expression slightly frown.

“I… Saw…”

Eyes meet each other. Hold one’s heart strong It cannot be stolen like this. I can’t put out this fire I can’t fold this heart

“Han Ye-rin is dragging you to the class… What’s the matter with Han Ye-rin…?”

Taeho lowered his head and averted his gaze. I grabbed Taeho’s chin and turned his gaze to me. A slightly somber expression. Seeing that expression, his heart aches.

“Tae-ho, I know… Han Ye-rin often bullies you…”

Know.

Knowing it, I avoided it.

“Are you being bullied again…? By Han Ye-rin. But that’s right… Avoiding friends… Something was weird…”

I was afraid. Because it is a null group. I was overwhelmed with fear and couldn’t do anything. He’s my friend, and I need to protect him. I just stomped my feet like an idiot and neglected my friend’s suffering.

“Usually, when it’s hard, you’ll approach me… But why would you avoid it? I kept thinking about it…”

“Umm… Han Ye-rin ordered it… I realized it. I told you not to approach me…”

Will regret.

I should have done that before the flames spread to me. Tae-ho is already in tatters from suffering from bullying.

“Isn’t that so… Evil…? Even if you call me a dog… You treat me like a real dog…”

Anger for the first time.

You start to get over your fears.

“Don’t be too heartbroken… I’ll always be your friend…”

I pat Tae-ho on the back. Then Taeho gritted his teeth and held back the tears. Seeing that, once again her heart aches. If Tae-ho didn’t suffer, she does. Taeho wants you to be happy.

I don’t want to see Taeho cry.

Taeho is my friend and my hope. Also.

…Because I like him.

“I… I’ll try something…”

Tae-ho is confused.

“See you later…”

Enveloped in light, the surrounding scenery changes.

“…Han Yerin.”

See you later.

Half right next door.

Standing in front of Class 2-A. Take a deep breath. Nervous. But, you have to.

If it’s for a friend.

This level of risk is nothing.

Bang-!

“Uh?”
“Huh?”

Grab the classroom door and push it to the side. The door opened with all its might and collided with the wall with a groaning sound.

“Han Ye-rin… Where are you…”

Walk forward slowly Han Ye-rin, Han Ye-rin, where are you?

“Ah… I found it.”

I put the floating magic on my body and fly towards Han Ye-rin. It has already been done and cannot be undone. Let’s realize that.

My heart beats so much that it hurts.

“My friend… Don’t bully me…”

I look at Han Ye-rin with cold eyes. Full of her sincerity, I stare at her. Han Ye-rin trembles with her body and makes a puzzled expression. She looked at it very little.

I feel a sense of euphoria.

“I know everything… You couldn’t let me and Taeho together… You pressured me…?”

Frown Han Ye-rin exchanges glances with her Tae-ho. A look of bewilderment was evident, except for her body trembling. She can’t do anything I saw it like that. From the depths of her heart. Her confidence soars.

If it was Han Ye-rin as usual, she would overcome resistance and put pressure on me.

Can’t do anything. See it and realize it.

My location.

“…Are you kidding me?”

At least. Enough to protect her friend from Han Ye-rin. The fact that my position is high. Realize with the whole body.

Then.

Now is the time to be bold.

“That, that, that…”

“Don’t make excuses.”

Seeing her glare, Han Ye-rin trembled.

“That’s right… You ‘ordered’. I know everything…”

“I-I-I’m sorry…”

“…’Sorry’?”

Are you kidding?

“Did you know you would say something like that…? I didn’t know…”

She turns her head and looks at her Taeho. Her Tae Ho is also embarrassed, slightly opening her mouth.

Don’t worry.

“Let’s go…”

She grabs Tae-ho by the wrist and drags him to the door. She turns her head and looks at Han Ye-rin.

“Last words…”

Now, harden.

“My friend, don’t touch me…”

Don’t bully Taeho.

“Fighting with the group… I don’t know about that…”

“I can break your arm…”

Grab Taeho’s wrist.

Run down the aisle
