Chapter 13 – Do You Want to Rest at My House?

She hugged my neck for a while and jumped around. Shin Hye-yeon soon realized what she was doing.

“Hot!”

She was startled and she jumped back behind her and she bent over me.

“Sorry! I am so happy!”

I wondered if this was something I should apologize for.
If it’s good, you can hug each other and do that.
Even when she was active as a hunter, when she passed the moment of crisis in the dungeon, she hugged and liked each other without realizing it.
There is no room for any rational emotion to intervene here.

Of course, I’m the type who draws the line well, so I don’t know if I interpreted it arbitrarily.

For some reason, the happy atmosphere after succeeding in ‘Swordsmanship’ seemed to have cooled down with just one hug.

‘The dew is the problem.’

99% of the reason Shin Hyeyeon tried to keep her distance from me was because of Seulgi Lee.

No matter what kind of friend her Lee Seul-gi was, Shin Hye-yeon tried to keep her loyalty to her until the end.
In the end, she revealed what Seulgi Lee had done to me, but it took a long time for her to think about it.
Didn’t he even leave Korea for the last time and go to France?

Although that work and studying abroad may have been separate, I saw how much Shin Hye-yeon suffered because of it in the ‘Book of Memories’.
She was a completely different woman from Seulgi Lee.
My eyes were dark, so I couldn’t recognize jewels, and I dated women who looked like rotten garbage.

If possible, I wanted to be close to Shin Hye-yeon over her words.
After all, aren’t we classmates of the same age?
What kind of 20-year-old college students would distance themselves by calling each other “Mr. Seong-gyu” And “Mr. Hye-yeon?”

However, it seemed that it would be difficult to do so until the dew problem was sorted out to some extent.
Above all, Shin Hye-yeon’s tendency was like that.

‘In the end, I have to complete the quest…’

It’s not a bad thing to shake it off.
If I didn’t complete the quest, I had to go back to my previous life.
And in the end, he would die a miserable death.

You had to complete the quest to overcome the curse and enjoy the blessing.

【You have acquired the skill ‘Swordsman’.]
【All free skill slots are filled.】

‘Oh!’

When I taught Shin Hye-yeon ‘Swordsmanship’, I got the same skill.
It wasn’t difficult to figure out what happened.

The ‘Free Skill Slot’ was a slot that could be filled by acquiring any skill.
Skills beyond my current level or level should be theoretically possible.

Also, it was said that the skill of an opponent with a favorable rating of 80% or higher was much easier to learn.

‘Swordsmanship’ is a skill he had in his previous life.
I didn’t have to learn this separately.
As soon as Shin Hye-yeon, who had a favorable rating of over 80%, had this skill, it was clear that I also had the same skill.

I looked at Shin Hye-yeon with her calm eyes.
She was a jewel in many ways.
Even if she gained her ‘sword energy’ thanks to me today, this was nothing compared to the heart she poured out on me and the sadness she suffered because of it.
I wanted to do better for her if possible.

Then there was a knock.
The staff seemed to have come again.

“Yes~”

After answering, the staff opened the door and asked.

“I’m running out of time. Can I extend it?”

I looked at Shin Hye-yeon.
I don’t know how enthusiastic she is, but she practiced enough today.
Her face and equipment were already covered with sweat.
Even if she was full of motivation, she wouldn’t have the stamina to continue any longer.

“I will stop.”

This time, I answered on behalf of Shin Hye-yeon.

#

“Uh… Wait a minute.”

Shin Hye-yeon grabbed me when I left the training room and tried to break up.
She was a great help to him, but she just couldn’t let go.
She said she wanted to buy dinner for herself, since she had eaten until lunch.

Rather than having any other meaning, I felt that the words were really thankful.

She had no reason to refuse, so she ate with her from lunch to dinner.
This time, instead of going near the school, they went to a restaurant Shin Hye-yeon knew personally.

“My father used to bring me with me when I got good grades.”

I was familiar with this restaurant in the Sky Lounge.
I had never been there when I was 20, but it was a place I had come to from time to time in my previous life.
The view is good and the food is not bad, so I came here occasionally when there were business events or entertainment.

It felt so good to be with Shin Hye-yeon of the same age at the age of 20.

As the evening twilight passed and the darkness settled down, the view became even more beautiful.
If possible, I wanted to drink at least a glass of wine, but I thought that would be burdensome on Shin Hye-yeon’s side, so I decided to promise the next time.

“I’ll wait for you.”

Shin Hye-yeon said after leaving the restaurant.
Normally, it should have been the other way around, but in this situation, only Shin Hye-yeon had a car.
Even though I currently live in a studio, it was nothing to be ashamed of.

“Thank you.”

I obediently accepted her request and drove to my house together.

“Uh?”

When the car arrived at the house, I noticed a familiar figure leaning against the wall there.
A woman you don’t want to meet.
He was the woman he loved in his previous life, but now he was like a villain.
If possible, she is the kind of woman who would prefer to stay out of sight.

Anyway, since I was standing in front of the house like that, there was no way to escape.

“Whoa…”

Seeing me sigh, Shin Hye-yeon said with a worried face.

“Sorry. Because of me.”
“Why are you apologizing? I asked Hyeyeon to eat together.”

I didn’t know that I would spend this much time after that, but at least Shin Hye-yeon was not at fault.
Aside from everything, there was nothing to apologize to that villain.

“Hyeyeon-ssi, please go back now. I’ll talk to Seulgi.”
“…”

Shin Hye-yeon did not answer.
I left her and got out of her car.

“Go carefully. I had fun today.”

I greeted them, but the car stayed still.

‘What is this atmosphere.’

Also, the villain was the villain.
He did his best to ruin the good atmosphere.

Seulgi Lee leaned against the wall of the studio where I live and took off the back.
She didn’t even want to ask how long she had been waiting for me.
This woman was nothing but a stalker now.

“Self…”

She was already distorted when Seulgi’s face was distorted.
This woman’s face looked like a monster because she was with Shin Hye-yeon, who was innocent and beautiful until just now.

Her gaze looked at me once and at Shin Hye-yeon in the car.

“Why are you here now?”
“Huh? Why?”

I’m coming to my house. Do I have to report my curfew?

“Have you been with Hyeyeon until now?”
“Huh.”
“Why?”
“Whoa…”

I let out a sigh.
Although she was tired after training with Shin Hye-yeon for more than three hours and having a long dinner, she hadn’t noticed it at all until just a moment ago.
As I stood in front of Seulgi Lee, I was suddenly exhausted.

“If you have something to say, let’s do it later. It’s late today.”
“Late?”

Dew Seulgi raised her eyes to the fullest as if it was unfair.
She said as she opened her watch on her wrist.

“It’s only nine o’clock yet! I’m going to sleep over at your house!”
“Why?”
“Why…”

Seulgi Lee with a distorted expression glared at Hyeyeon Shin in the car.

“I’m going to sleep over at my boyfriend’s house, do you need a reason?”
“Huh. You’ve never been like this before.”

Park Jong-gil allowed his body a lot, but he had never had deep skinship with me.
How should we interpret this notion of selective chastity?
I don’t know which country’s etiquette is to be expensive to one’s boyfriend and easily allow one’s body to another man.

“That’s… I’ve always wanted you. It’s just… I’m ashamed…”

Seulgi Lee, who hastily pretended to be innocent, was disgusting.

Suddenly there was a sound and Shin Hye-yeon got out of the car.
She walked all the way this way with her face full of trouble.
I wished she hadn’t set her foot in this gutter of hers.

“Hyeyeon-ssi, please go back. I’ll contact you later.”

“Communication? Communication?”

Suddenly, the dew shone.

“Do you know how many times I called you yesterday and today? Why are you chewing the message? You’re not going to call your girlfriend, but you’re going to call someone else? Huh?”
“Hyeyeon is not another woman.”

Seulgi Lee made an expression as if the sky was collapsing at my determination.

“I’m sorry, Seulgi. I caught Seong-gyu until late. I’m sorry I just let you go because you helped me a lot today. I was going to tell you later.”
“Help? Help?”

Seulgi Lee began to vomit madness like a villain in a drama.

“How helpful is she to take away her boyfriend? Are you still human?”
“What do you mean?”

Even Shin Hye-yeon could not stand these words.
Insulting her for stealing someone else’s man was a fatal blow to her moral sense.

“Then isn’t it?”

Seulgi Lee crossed her arms and glared at Hyeyeon Shin.
Shin Hye-yeon also did not lose now.

“No.”
“Ugh…”

When Shin Hye-yeon, a B-class, held on confidently, Lee Seul-gi, an F-class, quickly became intimidated by her.

“Are you…”

As she busily rolled her eyes, she looked back and forth between Shin Hye-yeon and me.

“…Did you tell me?”

Her voice was as low as that of a mosquito.

Shin Hye-yeon frowned.

I knew.
Even when I hinted at it, Shin Hye-yeon did not betray her friend at all.

“What?”
“Mr. Lee…”

Lee Seul-gi looked at Shin Hye-yeon and me alternately, and then, as if she couldn’t stand it, she strode forward.

“Wait and see! You won’t be left alone!”

Class F threatens Class B.
It was unheard of in society.
I really like being young.

“Self! I’ll contact you! Be sure to pick up the phone!”

After raising her voice like that, the villainess left.

After Seulgi Lee completely disappeared, Hyeyeon Shin seemed dizzy and said, “Ah.” She groaned and stumbled.
I quickly picked her up.

It must have consumed a lot of stamina by concentrating on training today.
After going through this just now, I felt more tired.
I understand that I feel the same way.

“Are you okay?”
“Yes…”
“It must be dangerous to drive like this. Take a break at my house.”
“Yes…?”

Red flowers bloomed on Shin Hye-yeon’s beautiful face.
