After tidying up the hospital room and returning to the room on the 23rd floor, after thinking about it for 3 days, I finally decided to accept the bodyguard. The problem was that I didn’t know what Cheon Sa-yeon’s intention was to give this order, but it couldn’t be helped.
“I will be by your side as much as possible, but… still, it’s safer if you have ntal ability.”
“That’s right. And Woo-jin-ssi says that everything Yi-gyeol-ssi says is good, so we need soone to hold Yi-gyeol-ssi.”
“No, not necessarily…”
At Min Ah-rin’s words, Kim Woo-jin blushed in surprise. No, more than that.
“Min Ah-rin-ssi, aren’t you busy?”
It was normal for Kim Woo-jin, but I didn’t know why Min Ah-rin even followed . Min Ah-rin, who was chasing after , opened her eyes wide and looked up at .
“Oh my, are you kicking out?”
“Yes? No. That can’t be true.”
“I’m kidding. It’s a holiday, so I ca to take a look.”
Min Ah-rin, who succeeded in making fun of and Kim Woo-jin in that short ti, smiled brightly. It felt like the playfulness had increased a lot these days.
With Kim Woo-jin and Min Ah-rin, I headed to the 8th floor as explained in advance by Park Geon-ho. Park Geon-ho, who was waiting for in the hallway in front of the elevator on the 8th floor, saw Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin behind and made a funny face.
“Is that it? Parents who ca to class?”
“Don’t say nonsense.”
Park Geon-ho, who giggled and laughed, opened the door to the conference room.
“Well, I did select so good ones. Your opinion is important, so I suggest you to take a look.”
Park Geon-ho handed the docunts as I sat down. It was a collection of resus with various information such as photos, abilities, and ranks.
“These are the ones I picked out of the 60 volunteers in the ntal world I spoke to at the ti. They have a good personality, their grades are not bad.”
I turned over the docunts while listening to Park Geon-ho’s explanation. I didn’t know much about ntal ability, but when I put them together like this, they were quite diverse. After looking through the docunts from start to finish, I asked Park Geon-ho.
“Who did Team Leader select?”
“Hm. First of all, these three people.”
Park Geon-ho pulled out three docunts and spread them out on the desk. Then he imdiately touched the paper in the centre with his hand.
“And out of the three, this one seems the best.”
A photo ID of a man with a sad appearance and curly brown hair covering his forehead caught my eye. His ability… S-rank emotion control?
“An analysis showed that Master Kang Seung-geon’s ability to control his emotions wasn’t only controlling his mind but also controlling his emotions. If this friend is by your side, you won’t be swayed like Master Kang Seung-geon.”
Emotional domination. I rembered what the doll had said to Kang Seung-geon in the basent.
“Have you already noticed the emotional domination side effects?”
If it was because of Kang Seung-geon’s overly emotionally violent behaviour, then his ability to control his emotions would definitely be the counter.
“He’s a newbie who was brought in with a lot of money by the guild earlier this year. It’s been less than two months since he joined the guild, so he doesn’t have much experience, but the ntal world doesn’t have to fight with anyone like the physic world anyway.”
“That’s true.”
I frowned as I nodded and read the resu.
“Isn’t he too young?”
The man was 20 years old. He was 20 years old and he was 19 just a few months ago. I took a newly-adult child as my bodyguard. Wasn’t it too much?
“Age doesn’t matter.”
“It’s important. It’s different, a bodyguard, so does it make sense to ask a child like this to protect ?”
At that, Min Ah-rin covered her mouth and smiled, and Park Geon-ho gave a strange expression. Why was this reaction?
“Well. He’s young, you’re right, but… Han Yi-gyeol. It’s kind of funny when you say things like that.”
“What does it an?”
“To and Healer Min Ah-rin, you and this friend look the sa.”
“It’s not the sa, I’m much older than…”
I cried and retorted, but realized later.
‘Wait. I’m Han Yi-gyeol now, right?’
I was unintentionally thinking of my original age. As a 24-year-old who looked at a 20-year-old guy and complained about being young, I couldn’t finish my words and shut my mouth. However, Park Geon-ho, who had already heard what he had to hear, laughed and teased with a face that he was going to die of laughter.
“Yes, yes. You’re an adult. Because you’re four years older.”
Min Ah-rin also responded with a bright voice.
“Wa, the four-year age difference doesn’t even look good!”
“……”
Why were you talking about compatibility? Feeling my face heat up, I covered my eyes with my hands.
“Our Talented Han Yi-gyeol isn’t mature enough for his age.”
“…stop it. After all, it’s true that he has only been a few months since he beca an adult, isn’t it?”
“Right. However, I recomnd that you et him for now. As you said, it’s true that he’s young, but regardless of his age, he has a good personality and has an excellent sense of using his ability.”
Uum. Is that so? Anyway, it was the most reliable because it was recomnded by Park Geon-ho. There was a limit to what could be known from these docunts.
“Can I see him right away?”
“Good choice. Let’s call him.”
Park Geon-ho, who took out his cell phone, winked one of his eyes at and left the conference room. Min Ah-rin, who was sitting next to and looking at the resu, said with a happy voice.
“Still, I’m glad that Yi-gyeol-ssi accepted the guard. I honestly thought you would say no.”
“I also feel the need to be careful. I don’t want to worry Min Ah-rin-ssi or Kim Woo-jin anymore.”
I was worried, but it was because I didn’t know Cheon Sa-yeon’s intention to the last. The guard itself was no problem. Rather, it was sothing to welco with open arms.
‘How should I explain it to Ha Tae-heon?’
Ha Tae-heon, who seriously suggested to co to Roheon, ca to mind. I was sorry for him, but I couldn’t leave the Requiem now unless Cheon Sa-yeon threw out first. There were still many things to find out by Cheon Sa-yeon’s side.
I was thinking about when to contact Ha Tae-heon again, but Park Geon-ho, who had left the conference room, returned.
“It happens that the training is over. We’re going to hear a more detailed explanation of his ability, so let’s move to the basent training room.”
“Right.”
I got up from my seat and checked the ID photo on the resu one last ti. Knowing his age, the face in the photo looked much younger than when I first saw him. S-rank ntal ability.
‘I don’t know if it’s okay or not.’
We all took the elevator and went down to the basent, but we weren’t sure. The person who was targeting was talented person with ntal ability who was good enough to make Master Kang Seung-geon to that level. Then if sothing bad happened…
“Han Yi-gyeol.”
My mind was complicated and I felt the warm body that ca from grabbing my wrist. Kim Woo-jin, who called in a low voice, opened his mouth with a calm face.
“No need to worry too much. Most of the ti I will be by your side… there are other people, too. There won’t be many situations where you’re alone with the bodyguard.”
I missed the timing to respond to the unexpected words and only blinked. I couldn’t believe Kim Woo-jin said such a mature thing.
“That’s right, Yi-gyeol-ssi. Besides, he was recomnded by Team Leader Park Geon-ho. Trust .”
“That’s it what I an to say. I wish Talented Han Yi-gyeol could trust a little bit.”
I guess my worried was noticeable on my face. Park Geon-ho skillfully added a word to Min Ah-rin’s advice.
“You have to act in order to have faith, don’t you think you will believe it or not?”
“This is upsetting. I’ve been so nice to you.”
“Please guide us, Team Leader Park Geon-ho.”
As soon as I got off the elevator, there was a wide hallway and several training rooms. Park Geon-ho, who shrugged his shoulders lightly, explained as he walked forward.
“This whole place is a training ground used only by the psychic. In the physic world, the training room is a little bigger, and all the walls are made of items. Talented Kim Woo-jin must know well. I heard you’re being trained to handle clones.”
I looked at Kim Woo-jin while listening with interest. Kim Woo-jin, who had been ignoring Park Geon-ho’s words with an expressionless face, noticed my gaze, smiled slightly and nodded his head.
“Right. In the physic world, when you train, you have no choice but to use your offensive abilities… Even though it is an item wall, it often breaks when the strength is too high.”
“Are you training that hard? Is that okay?”
Sohow, the kid had an exceptionally hard ti whenever he ca back from training. It was all there for a reason.
“Tell if you can’t stand it. I’ll et Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”
It was difficult to see his face, but if it was a problem like this, I could et him again and again. Kim Woo-jin’s timid and shy personality made it clear that no matter how difficult it was, he would just endure it.
When I made a new request, Kim Woo-jin lowered his eyes slightly and quietly nodded with his cheeks blushing.
“Uung.”
Good. First of all, it was safe. Because Kim Woo-jin still listened well.
“It’s not good to raise a child too nicely, Han Yi-gyeol.”
“Don’t interfere.”
What did you know? Kim Woo-jin was sensitive and not very social, so I had to take care of that part. Park Geon-ho, who covered his mouth with his hand at my sharp reply, laughed and opened the door of the training room with the number 21 written on it.
Could we just open it like this without knocking? I sighed at Park Geon-ho’s actions, which I couldn’t see even after washing my eyes when it ca to delicacy, but a soft voice ca from inside.
“It’s been a while, Team Leader Park Geon-ho.”
“Yeah. It’s been a month since I’ve seen your face. How have you been?”
“Of course, I’m fine.”
Park Geon-ho, who shook hands lightly with the other person, turned to the side and sent a glance to to co closer. At the sa ti as the man behind Park Geon-ho’s body was revealed, he bowed his head lightly and greeted .
“Hello. Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”
“Ah, yes. Hello.”
The man, who held my hand in a respectful manner and shook hands, raised his lowered body and smiled at . His curly chocolate-coloured hair and brown round eyes were seen. His high nose bridge, the glasses placed on it, and the elegantly raised lips gave off a friendly atmosphere overall.
He was 20 years old. He was quite tall for a young age and had a thick fra. There was a black dot under his left eye, which was slightly curved from smiling. Was it called a tear mole?
“My na is Kwon Jeong-han (권정한).”
First impressions weren’t bad. He was 20, so I thought he would look young. I was a little relieved and smiled.
“I’m Han Yi-gyeol.”
“Nice to et you. That… actually, I’ve wanted to et you before. Because I’m a fan of Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”
“Pardon?”
Suddenly a fan? I didn’t think it was a pen for ballpoint pens (볼펜 할 때의 펜은 아닐 테고, not sure). Kwon Jeong-han smiled brightly as he looked at , who was puzzled.
