“W-what was that just now?”
“…”
“You say I am right?”
There was no answer this ti, and it wasn’t what I expected either.
I was dumbfounded and looked down at the back of my hand and Ja-hyun’s body, which was giving warmth beyond it.
My body began to tremble a little bit at that point. The person beneath was trembling, not , even though I was trembling as well.
Why is he doing this?
Last ti, the light shone through the body, but this ti the entire body was shaking. Is it so aftereffect?
I thought about all sorts of things, but when I looked down, Ja-hyun was only smiling brightly, sothing I had never seen before.
There didn’t seem to be any problem.
I heard sothing similar to the sound of wind falling through the ears.
Judging by the way his body was shaking, it might have been just Ja-hyun laughing.
“As I thought.”
Suddenly, Ja-hyun opened his mouth.
“It is the sa as back then. My guess was right.”
“What?”
I an, when was that ti?
As I was blinking at the sound, Ja-hyun, who was still smiling, for so reason spoke in a soft voice.
“Ju Eun-ri.”
“…?”
“Yes, you, Ju Eun-ri.”
Is he insane? The subtle smile on the face felt familiar today.
“Your words hold special power, did you know?”
“Special… ?”
I asked back with eyes widened at the unexpected words.
My words have special power. I am not a dragon from so store, so it makes no sense. Even though he was the one emitting light from the body, I had no idea why he was saying such things to , who was a normal supporting character.
When I looked at him, Ja-hyun made this expression, which seed to openly look down on .
“Well, I wasn’t expecting it in the first place.”
“…”
Right… I will definitely get revenge soday. I swear.
“What on land are you talking about? Instead of doing that, please explain it slowly so that I can understand.”
I tried to keep myself cool, but soon I shook my head and said, ‘No, no.’
“Let us get up first. I will get up first, so bear with even if it hurts. Lend your shoulder.”
It was when I placed the hand that had been on the chest of Ja-hyun to his shoulder and tried to give strength.
Maybe it was because we were so close to each other, but Ja-hyun sounded like he was talking to himself.
“But it seems like it can be used in limited situations alone. First, we need to create a similar situation and check.”
“Yes, yes. I get it, so let’s talk about it when it happens.”
I was about to calm him down, but Ja-hyun, who seed to have different thoughts, firmly cut off.
“No, it has to be now.”
“Now?”
“Yes. Now.”
“Why, in this position?”
I looked very shocked.
Who wouldn't be shocked to be with a man whose relationships with the opposite sex are extrely promiscuous in the future? It seed like this kid had a shady side.
Whether I looked at him with odd eyes or not, Ja-hyun didn’t care about it and just said what he wanted to say.
“It is now or never. Because you never know when the reaction will co.”
“What reaction?”
“Will you even get it if I tell you?”
“…”
“According to my guess, your life shouldn’t be in danger. So let us try to block it again.”
“What do you keep talking about!”
It was when I couldn’t control the anger and was about to yell.
The entire air changed.
This fierce and sinister qi oppressed my entire body, making it impossible for to lift a finger.
There was so much force in the yard that I couldn’t even breathe.
“…!”
At one point, I felt like I was being pulled out of the water by soone. I took this deep breath as if longing for it.
Instead of trying to bite back, I rolled back awkwardly. And before I could pull myself together, I struggled to keep my eyes open and wandered looking for Ja-hyun.
The act of rolling around and looking for soone to rely on wasn’t intentional but a survival instinct.
What just happened? What happened to ?
If it’s Ja-hyun, then wouldn’t he know? As the MC, he will protect no matter what.
However, no matter how hard I searched, the person who had to be there wasn’t.
“This is so foolish.”
No, he didn’t disappear.
At the words suddenly coming from behind, I jerked my head back despite sitting down.
And then I saw the legs wrapped in blue cloth.
Ah, I am dizzy. Perhaps because of the sudden movent, I felt a bit dizzy.
Without being able to shake off my dizzy spell, I opened my mouth to tell Ja-hyun, who was behind like a pole, to stop standing and co help .
“Ja-hyun, you….”
But for so reason, the voice that ca out of my teeth was trembling.
Flustered, I raised my hand and touched my trembling lips. Only then did I realize that my body was tense.
Why? Why was Ja-hyun standing behind ?
“I clearly warned you.”
“…”
“If you cannot stop it, that will be your destiny.”
“What are you spouting so much?”
Useless words.
Our eyes t mid-air. His eyes were calm as the eye of the storm.
Right. Those eyes.
Only after looking into the pitch black eyes from a short distance did I realize that my body had now been forcibly raised from the floor and was facing Ja-hyun.
Since when? Unconsciously, I tried to shake off Ja-hyun’s hand, which was holding my shoulder tightly.
But he was so strong that he didn’t move despite my best effort.
If it didn’t work out in the front, I can move back, right? With that thought, I twisted the arm I was holding and tried to turn and run.
As soon as I tried to take out the arm, it failed, and sothing soft stepped on the hell that was extended back.
‘Uh? Water?’
I lowered my eyes slightly and looked at the ground. I saw human legs stretched out behind .
It was obvious who it belonged to. It was Wang Dae-geon’s legs, which I had forgotten about.
At that ti, the foot of a shoe suddenly ca and kicked Wang Dae-geon.
It didn’t seem like much force was applied-just one light kick, and the massive body flew far away and landed.
Thud!
As I was watching the whole scene in real ti, I cupped my hands at the mouth without realizing it.
Holy shit. What did I just see?
‘Could it be that this human, Wang Dae-geon, is still alive?’
Naturally, I had questions, but I couldn’t go back to check.
The reason was simple. This is because Ja-hyun tried to pierce my body with the other hand, which wasn’t holding my shoulder.
‘Uh?’
It isn’t a joke.
The attack, clearly with killing intent, was aid at my stomach.
Without even having to think about Ja-hyun’s movents, which I couldn’t see, suddenly everything seed in slow motion. I tried to do sothing to move my head, which had entirely gone blank.
It remains the sa as it did in the past. Ja-hyun made a statent. Yes. I was telling him to shut up all the ti.
What on land was he saying? I felt like I finally knew the answer. This attack was made on .
What he ant was to stop all this.
Then how do we stop? How do I knock down Ja-hyun?
My brain wasn’t an amazing one, so it ca to a conclusion faster than anyone else when it was a crisis.
I scread with all my might, like this was my last struggle.
‘STOP!’
As soon as the words left the tip of my tongue, Ja-hyun stopped, and this light exploded from the chest, which was still exposed.
When I put my hand on Ja-hyun’s shoulder as if pushing him, the light vanished.
My legs lost strength as the light went out, causing to collapse into the pitch-black darkness.
If Ja-hyun hadn’t quickly grabbed by the waist, I would have fallen to the ground again.
I leaned against Ja-hyun and forced my stiff mouth to move because my body was so weak that I couldn’t control it right.
“Shit, you just… you tried to kill ?”
First, let us confirm the actual facts.
“If I wasn’t?”
“Yes. Never even consider pretending to be this. I'm not sure how to say it, but I'm asking for confirmation even though I already know everything.”
When I spoke with a straight face, Ja-hyun agreed, right? True.
“Why?”
“Because I thought you could stop it.”
“What if I couldn’t stop you?”
“Unfortunately, my guess would have been proven wrong.”
“Then what happens?”
“Nothing much. It is just that we had to go through the trouble of removing the body in the middle of the night.”
“…”
Was he kidding?
While I thought whether to hit that guy who put my life at risk or not, Ja-hyun, who looked at my face, burst into laughter.
How can he laugh? Was he laughing now?”
“It was a joke.”
“Joke?”
“Yes, joke.”
“You an you didn’t plan on killing ? If you keep continuing to lie.”
“It is true that I used the killing force on you, but it wasn’t to kill you, just to confirm. I knew you would stop it, and I didn’t even assu it would fail. I knew there was no way that could fail.”
“…”
And so it is true that he tried to kill , but not with selfish intentions, and he didn’t even think I would die?
Nonsense. What kind of words are these?
Looking at with those eyes, Ja-hyun raised his eyebrow.
“Are you saying you don’t believe ?”
“Would you believe such a thing?”
He certainly had this very friendly attitude for soone who had tried to punch a hole into my body a couple monts back, but that didn’t an I could take his words for face value.
Seeing my still distrustful look in my eyes, Ja-hyun let out a small hum.
“If you really don’t believe it too, it doesn’t matter.”
“…”
“I figured out everything that needed to be figured out, and now it’s ti to talk with you.”
“Ja-hyun, wait.”
“….”
“…”
As soon as I said it, a heavy silence fell between us.
I took a look at his naked upper body and then smiled shyly.
“Ah, this won’t work.”
“…”
Odd. It worked before; then why isn’t it working now?
What is different?
While I was busy shaking my head, I heard Ja-hyun mumbling.
“There are many ways to urge people.”
In response to the terrifying remark, I cautiously asked a question while still being held in the arms.
“Are you going to kill ?”
“…”
What if he says he will kill ?
Well, I don’t know either.
To be honest, I don’t know why the MC, Ja-hyun, tried to kill Ju Eun-ri, who was set as a helper in the start. I really had no idea what strength was held in my words or what power it was.
I knew in my head that I had almost died a while back, but as I was wrapped warmly in a body that was slightly higher than my own, I couldn’t realize that I almost died in the hands of the sa man.
Rather, I think I felt a bit relieved to be in his arms.
‘Is this Stockholm syndro?’
At that ti, I heard this clicking sound from above my head.
At the sa ti, I lost the strong arm that supported my body and fell ahead.
Fortunately, I was able to control my body to an extent to hold my balance. I almost made a grand gesture with my hands.
“Yah, why did you suddenly…?”
Surprised, I opened my eyes sharply and glared at Ja-hyun.
And then, under the moonlight, Ja-hyun, with his amazingly beautiful face, said.
“I will not kill you.”
“…?”
I was confused about what he was saying, but soon realized that what he said was an answer to the question I asked a mont back.
However, before I could relax because my life wasn’t in danger from a mass murderer of the future, he added.
“For now, you know. I cannot guarantee what will happen in the future.”
“Excuse … Can you please stop adding all these unnecessary words?”
“No.”
In my protest of being offended, Ja-hyun calmly responded.
