Possessed an Academy Security Guard

46 – 046. Feeling Unaware

After mentioning Min Chaeryeong’s mission to Cho Yu-ri, she won an early leave from work.

After a long time, I returned to my original one-room rather than a safe house (even though I only lived there for about a month), and Min Chaeryeong’s words, ‘You will naturally find out about Ji Ye-won’s whereabouts after work’, put her whereabouts to shame. I didn’t know anything about it at all.

I checked the mailbox to see if there was a letter, but there was none.

Then I wondered if he had left a message inside the house, but there was none.

The studio I returned to after a long time was the same as when I left. Layer by layer of dust was clearly proving that no one had ever entered this place.

‘No, he said he would find out naturally.’

It was frustrating and crazy, but there was no one to complain to. Now that this has happened, should I contact Min Chaeryeong directly? The moment I thought so.

-Ding-dong.

The doorbell rang at the front door.

‘Who are you?’

There are no visitors scheduled for today. I didn’t even order a courier. Since someone suddenly came, the only people who knew the location of this house were Min Chaeryeong and Chae-yeon. Min Chae-ryeong is on a business trip, so it’s out of the question, then is she a vegetable lover?

– Hello! This is the person who moved next door!

However, my expectations were wrong.

‘Moving?’

Come to think of it, the empty house next door was bustling.

With that in mind, I opened the front door without much thought.

Now then.

“Huh?”

The first thing that caught my eye was her light ash gray hair.

It was followed by a bizarre outfit that could only be described as funky. Clothes such as T-shirts with lettering skull patterns, leather jackets with a glossy black finish, and hot pants with silver chains hanging down the waist.

It’s like an indie band stage outfit. As expected, a large guitar case was hanging from the back of the visitor. It seemed like he was really a band member.

This house isn’t soundproofed very well, but for the time being, you’re going to have a hard time with the noise of the instruments.

With that thought in mind, I looked at the visitor’s face. A woman who seemed to be about the same age as me had a mischievous smile on her face, immersed in the deep sunset light.

“What?”

The face belonged to someone very familiar to me.

“Yewon?”

“No! My name is Ye Ji-won! I am a 23-year-old high school graduate unemployed guitarist who hastily moved to Seoul with a dream of music, but returned to his hometown frustrated by the cold reality, but couldn’t bear to return to his parents’ house. By the way, I’m going to work at the family restaurant in front of the station from next week!”

“…… Yes support? What kind of bullsh*t is that? Anyone can see that Yewon is right.”

Introduce yourself cheerfully…… Ji Ye-Won, who made a strange sound that seemed to be, let out a deep sigh with an embarrassed expression.

“I know. I wonder what the hell is all this. However, when the new identity setting prepared by the team leader was like this, I asked what to do. Thanks to that, you dyed your hair even though it wasn’t even in your arms? Didn’t it come out pretty well though?”

Anyway, there would be difficulties in using the identity of Ji Ye-won as it is, so it seemed that Min Chaeryeong had prepared a new identity. It wasn’t something that seemed possible to a mere guard team leader, but it was a day or two.

“…… How the hell did all this happen now?”

However, the situation was still full of incomprehensible things. First of all, I couldn’t understand the situation that Ji Ye-won, who should have been in the safe house, moved next door to me.

“I’ll explain everything from now on. But I don’t think it’s something to talk about in an open hallway like this…….”

Ji Ye-won looked up at me and smiled brightly as she fixed the guitar case.

“How. Shall I go over to your house, or will you come over to mine?”

“I’m going there.”

“Answer immediately without any worries? If you are going to openly enter a house where a woman lives alone, be bold.”

“My room has not been cleaned in over a month and is now dusty.”

“My room is similar, but I like it.”

Ji Ye-won, who took a few steps back, pointed to the next door with her finger.

“Since you are an honored first guest, I will treat you with utmost care. Come on, let’s go in.”

***

“…… It’s a really empty room.”

That was the first impression of Ahn Soo-ho entering Ji Ye-won’s room. There’s nothing. Ji Ye-won’s room was so bleak that all I could say was that.

There was not even a single piece of furniture in the room, except for the minimum amount of household items that were included as options. All that was there was a few clothes in a shopping bag, and a pair of pillows and blankets in the corner.

“I just got here this morning too. I’ll have to get it right from now on. In my mind, I want to bring all my belongings from the original house, but the police are all over the place now.

According to the testimony of Kim Seong-ho, who was caught in the last succubus incident, the police realized that Ji Ye-won was a member of the Ryeongdan. At this time, local police were looking for her whereabouts with lights in her eyes.

“That’s why there is nothing I can do to treat you even if I want to treat you. I have ramen, but if you haven’t eaten yet, would you like some ramen?”

“Rather than that, could you please explain the current situation? I’m going crazy with curiosity.”

“Then put some water on it?”

Ahn Su-ho looked at Ji Ye-won, who was putting ramen water on the gas stove, with an absurd expression. Then Yewon Ji frowned at her and spat out her voice.

“What. Are you so dissatisfied that I’m hungry and I’m going to boil some ramen at my house?”

“I dare to do that now… …. No, that’s all right.”

It wasn’t long before the smell of spicy ramen started to spread throughout the room. Ahn Su-ho, who initially refused, naturally swallowed dry saliva at the smell. Aside from being curious about Ji Ye-won’s situation, I was on an empty stomach.

“Huh?”

But 3 minutes later, the ramen that Ji Ye-won put on the floor was only one serving.

“Huh? What is that you don’t eat I don’t have yours.”

“No, but I wish it was boiled together with the seaweed-“

“It’s really funny. If you’re going to do that, say you want to eat it from the beginning.”

Ji Ye-won placed a chopstick of ramen on the lid of the pot used for the front plate. Sitting on the floor without a table in a sloppy outfit, he said that he really looked like an unemployed man. Ji Ye-won handed over chopsticks and a pot lid to Ahn Su-ho, who thought so.

“It’s okay. I’ll give you a bite. But since it’s a guest, I give it to you with the first bite, which is said to be the most delicious. Am I nice?”

“…… That’s it. Take a bowl of ramen and put it on someone’s nose. You just eat a lot, Yewon.”

“Since a while ago, it has been like this and that and I am confused like a reed. Is it that day?”

“…… Yes?”

-Slurp.

Leaving the embarrassed Ahn Su-ho behind, Ji Ye-won put the ramen into her mouth.

“Wow, that’s really good. Does the same ramen taste different because the place is different? It’s a very, very different from when I was in that stuffy safe house.”

“… ….”

“You look like you’re going crazy because you’re very curious. I get it, I get it. Now I’ll tell you what happened.”

At those words, Suho Ahn straightened his posture. Ji Ye-won smiled at the attitude of listening to what she could see with her eyes.

“To sum up how I came out of the safe house, it was because my interests and that of the team leader coincided. It wasn’t just me who wanted to leave, the team leader also wanted me out.”

In the beginning, Min Chae-ryeong detained Ji Ye-won in the safe house of the Hansung Group under the pretext of protection was complicated.

Her first was to protect her from the pursuit of her Dawning, the second was to hide her whereabouts from the eyes of the police, and the third was to hide her whereabouts from the eyes of the police, and third, although she was a traitor, she still wanted her. It was to confine her to a fixed place, the criminal status of her.

The reason Min Chae-ryeong worked so hard for her Ji Ye-won was entirely because of the information she had of the Dawning Corps. In fact, her information brought Min Chae-ryeong a lot of benefit.

However, almost a month had passed since Ji Ye-won’s protection, and the situation had changed as she secured Yoo Hyeon-ho’s recruit this time.

First things first. Ji Ye-won’s value has declined significantly.

Min Chaeryeong secured a new informant named Yoo Hyeon-ho through this incident. He was even more superior to Ji Ye-won in terms of the quantity and quality of the information he possessed. Unlike Ji Ye-won, her attitude is not cooperative, but it was not a big problem for Min Chae-ryeong. Therefore, from Min Chae-ryeong’s point of view, Ji Ye-won’s value as an informant had declined significantly compared to her previous years.

Second. The police’s pursuit of Ji Ye-won began in earnest.

The pursuit of Ji Ye-Won, which was initially started by a letter sent by Hyeon-Ho Yoo, became more severe due to the testimony of Seong-Ho Kim, an officer of the Ryeoungdan. Although Ji Ye-won did not have a very high status within the dawn, her external status was a problem. She has the identity that she is a 4th year student at the Green House.

The best hunter academy in Korea, and a green house that leads not only hunters but also the entire superhuman industry. The case that a student there, who was not just a student, but a student with excellent grades, was a member of the Rising Corps, was not an issue to be taken lightly.

And the third. As Yoo Hyeon-ho was imprisoned in the safe house, Min Chae-ryeong decided to renew the security of the safe house.

The safe house was located halfway up a mountain on the outskirts of Sokcho. Of course, as it is a remote place, there was almost no people coming and going around. If someone else saw the regular visits of An Su-ho and Chae-yeon to such a place, they might be suspicious.

So Min Chaeryeong decided to completely cut off the safe house from the outside world. She entrusted the management of Yoo Hyeon-ho to a trusted hire she had personally obtained and strictly controlled access to the safe house. Never leak information.

For the above three reasons, Ji Ye-Won’s existence was regarded as a gimmick to Min Chae-Ryeong. The risk outweighed the merits to keep her. She was, and she was too hard to kill. Min Chae-ryeong has yet to find out what kind of relationship Ahn Su-ho has with Ji Ye-won.

“In the midst of that, I proposed a deal to the team leader. Now that I think about it, the timing was great.”

No matter how hard Ji Ye-won is to deal with, there is no way Min-chae-ryeong will listen to her reckless request to let her go. Because of this, Ji Ye-won offered Min Chae-ryeong her deal, not her favor.

“I will hand over all the information I have. Also, if necessary, I will become your subordinate and work hard for you. Also, even if I get caught by the police or the Rising Team, I will thoroughly keep quiet about the facts related to you.”

In return, Ji Ye-won asked for three things. Liberation from detention in the name of protection, a new identity to evade the police or the Rising Guard, and, if possible, help Mina Kim in her search.

Comparing each other’s gains and losses, Min Chaeryeong’s proposal was a loss. However, Min Chaeryeong readily accepted the offer. She was also at the time when she was thinking about how to deal with her Ji Ye-Won, and being able to have her as her subordinate, a skilled spy, was particularly attractive.

Of course, Min Chae-ryeong was not lax enough to let Ji Ye-won believe her words and let her go.

“In exchange for liberation, a microchip was planted here, around here.”

Yewon Ji pointed her thumb at the nape of her neck. There was a faint scar the size of her fingernail.

“Thanks to this chip, Chaeryeong Min can check my location in real time 24 hours a day. And with the push of a button, I can disrupt my nervous system and paralyze my body. Oh, and if you try to force it out, it will explode. Pop! Do.”

It was literally like a slave leash, but Ji Ye-won was fine. Rather than living inside a stuffy cage, I liked my current life, where I could walk outside to my heart’s content, even if I was wearing a leash.

“So I was able to get out of that stuffy safe house. By gaining a new identity as Ye Ji-won.”

When Ji Ye-won’s story was over, the inside of her pot was empty as she had eaten up even the soup. However, the existence of ramen had long since disappeared from Ahn Su-ho’s mind.

‘An exploding microchip?’

Ahn Su-ho’s face was stained with contemplation. An exploding microchip. Although it is limited to when it is forcibly taken out, there must have been any number of ways for Min Chaeryeong to detonate at will.

In other words, it meant that Min Chaeryeong held the right to life and death of Ji Yewon.

And the fact that she had the right to control Ji Ye-won’s life and death meant that An Su-ho’s own life was also in her hands.

‘This crazy… ….’

If Ji Ye-Won betrays Min Chae-Ryeong, if Min Chae-Ryeong feels that way even if she doesn’t betray her, or if Min Chae-Ryeong decides to kill Ji Ye-Won out of a simple change of heart.

Min Chaeryeong will be able to kill Ji Yewon with a single button. Easy, very simple.

“Are you sane, putting your life in her hands? … ?”

“Because I desperately needed freedom.”

“What freedom is that!”

Ahn Su-ho shouted in anger. It was a feeling that came from the heart, not acting. It was a natural reaction since Min Chae-ryeong suddenly grabbed her leash.

“What? Why are you overreacting?”

However, it was an incomprehensible reaction from Ji Ye-won’s point of view, who did not know the circumstances.

“Microchips don’t explode unless you try to forcefully remove them.”

“How do you know that?! If Min Chae-ryeong can detonate it at will, what will she do!”

“As long as I’m useful to her, that won’t happen. Even if I look like this, I belong to the fairly competent side.”

“How do you know Min Chaeryeong will change her mind tomorrow and try to kill you?! Even if she doesn’t, the moment her usefulness runs out, she’ll be killed like a devoted mate abandoned!”

“I know. So, before that happens, I must achieve my goal.”

“Purpose?”

At those words, one word flashed through Ahn Su-ho’s mind.

“Are you talking about Kim Min-ah?”

Yewon Ji silently nodded her head. Come to think of it, was there a clause asking for help in the search for Mina Kim among the terms of the transaction? Thinking so, Ahn Soo-ho chewed his lips with a tired face.

Minah Kim is currently being held by the Ryoondan. She would have to risk her life to save her.

Ahn Soo-ho felt indescribable emotions when he saw Min Chae-ryeong ready to die to save her friend.

“…… What the hell does Yewon think of her own life?”

It wasn’t the impression of her sacrifice or respect for her determination.

“…… Why are you reacting so strongly? It’s my life, so what’s wrong with using it the way I want…… “

“That… ….”

It was frustrating. When Ji Ye-won dies, she dies too. She was frustrated that she couldn’t reveal the fact, and Ye-won’s attitude was frustrating, as she risked her own life without knowing that fact.

Ahn Suho frowned in frustration. In my heart, I wanted to reveal that if you die, I will die too, but where is that possible? Even if I told him, he wouldn’t believe me, and even if he did, he couldn’t have predicted or handled the ripple effect of revealing the truth in this world.

Ahn Su-ho’s face showed such emotions. In fact, it was a selfish feeling of only worrying about my life, but Ji Ye-won, who did not know the circumstances, felt a completely different feeling on her face.

“You hate the fact that I might die? Why?”

Ji Ye-won thought. He is the one who risked his life, but why is the man in front of him making such a painful expression as if his own life was at stake?

Suddenly, the conversation she had with him in her safe house a few days ago replayed in her mind.

‘I don’t want to let Yewon out of here.’

‘Why?’

‘Because I don’t want Yewon to die.’

‘Why? It’s been a while since we met. Whether I die or not, what does it matter to you…….’

A few days ago, she asked Ahn Su-ho directly about the question she had now. At that time, what did the man in front of him, Ahn Su-ho, answer to him?

‘It’s been a while since we met, but I think it will be very painful if Yewon dies.’

Ji Ye-won’s eyes trembled at the answer she immediately remembered. With those trembling eyes, Ji Ye-won gazed at the man in front of her, Ahn Su-ho.

It’s been a while since I met her, she said. It’s already been about a month since her first meeting. It was only a month, but the density was very thick. While she was in the safe house, An Su-ho almost lived there too.

During that month, Ji Ye-won developed a good feeling for Ahn Su-ho. She was a human-to-human crush, not a love affair. If I had to dig deeper, it was thanks to my benefactor. Ahn Soo-ho saved his life, and since then he has taken utmost care of his comfort in his safe house.

Ji Ye-won thought that her feelings would not be one-way. Ahn Su-ho also thought that he had feelings for him. That’s probably why he told her that she would suffer when she died.

‘But why?’

That was exactly what Ji Ye-won questioned about her.

It’s not strange that she has a crush on An Su-ho. Because she was in the position where her life was saved, and even in her later life, she only received help from him all along.

However, what about Ahn Su-ho? Ji Ye-won herself could not provide any help to Ahn Su-ho. Rather, she had to whine at him twice because she had something to do with Kim Min-ah. In addition to such a major incident, her emotional ups and downs in the safe house must have put a lot of stress on Ahn Su-ho, who takes care of her.

You may feel bad luck in the process. Still, since she has been facing her for a long time, she should be able to develop a certain level of liking. But she genuinely cares about her life, and it’s strange that she harbors feelings of bitterness over her death.

‘…… Come to think of it, he was strangely good to me from the beginning.’

When they first met at her motel, Ahn Soo-ho tried to verbally convince herself that she, unlike Chae-yeon, was her dawning party.

Maybe Ahn Su-ho’s unconditional favor started from the first meeting. Thinking that way, she couldn’t help but be more suspicious.

The man in front of me. Why does Ahn Su-ho show such unconditional favor to himself? Even though there is no reason for it.

‘No, wait.’

The moment she thought that far, another possibility suddenly came to her mind.

Perhaps the way Ahn Su-ho has shown himself so far isn’t based on her favor, but for other reasons.

Ji Ye-won slowly looked back at the appearance and actions of Ahn Su-ho towards her.

First meeting. He tried to solve it through dialogue rather than battle, blocking the gap between Chae-yeon and her, who had entered a combat stance.

Battle in an abandoned building. Even though he abandoned her and allowed her to flee, he risked her life to fight her Dawning Assassins to protect her.

When I woke up in the safe house. Contemplating her suicide, she begged her not to take her own life.

When she asked to be released from her safe house. Ahn Su-ho was concerned for her life, saying that she would suffer if she died.

And as she later found out, it was her Ahn Soo-ho, her very first thought to protect her from the Dawning in the first place.

In the meantime, I thought that all these actions were based on mysterious goodwill.

“Hey, An Su-ho.”

However, as she looked back slowly, she could see a common thread running through his actions.

“Why are you so obsessed with my life?”

Ahn Su-ho’s actions are not goodwill, but rather seem obsessed with preserving her life itself.

Ahn Su-ho’s expression hardened at the question that accidentally hit the mark.

It was a momentary commotion. Ahn Su-ho, who wanted to be sorry, immediately corrected his expression. However, Ji Ye-won clearly caught the moment of agitation. She caught on, and from the reaction she instinctively sensed that her own expectations had been met.

“Why? If I die, will there be any trouble for you?”

Ji Ye-won, who did not know what her life meant to Ahn Su-ho and the circumstances related to the system, could never guess. Since he couldn’t infer it, he could only guess through the way Ahn Su-ho showed him.

‘Besides the Dawning Corps and Talisman, you’re an academy student and I’m a security guard.’

A word that Ahn Soo-ho said to her one day passed through her mind.

‘Guards always work hard for the safety of students. There are no other reasons. I just did my job.’

It was a word that came to mind by chance, but unfortunately it was a word that penetrated the core of the situation.

‘Ah, no way.’

Could it be because of that reason? Would she have been so obsessed with her own life and risked her life to protect it just because of her job as a security guard?

Yewon Ji thought it couldn’t be, but before she knew it, her mouth was reciting the same question that had popped into her head from a while ago.

“Are you obsessed with my life because of your job? Because you’re an academy security guard and I’m an academy student?”

“That’s-“

Ahn Soo-ho, speechless, nodded her head softly. It was a thoughtless act.

“……… There is no reason for that.”

I don’t know what to answer, so I blurted out an ambiguous answer.

However, Ji Ye-won felt a bit of sincerity in that answer. Because she felt it, at that moment, she felt dejected.

She couldn’t help but feel depressed.

“Really? Then you won’t have to worry about my life anymore. I am no longer a Greenhouse student.”

“…… Yes? What do you mean?”

“I got kicked out a while ago. No wonder she was found out as a member of the Dawning.”

Ahn Suho couldn’t help but be surprised at those words. It was something he could have expected, but something he hadn’t thought of at all.

‘Ji Ye-won is no longer a student? Then-‘

The death penalty condition for the security guard skill is the death of a character who is a main character and is an academy student at the same time.

In other words, the death of Ji Ye-won, who is no longer an academy student, does not affect his life anymore. The moment he realized that fact, Ahn Soo-ho’s face flashed with relief.

“Wow.”

And Ji Ye-won took that relief in a completely different way.

“You said you were strangely nice to me, but was it because you were a security guard? One professional spirit is really outstanding.”

Yewon Ji, who uttered it bluntly, felt a strange feeling tightening his chest. As she tried to figure out what the true nature of that emotion was, she let out a dejected laugh.

Ironically, the identity of her feelings she felt was a sense of betrayal.

Ji Ye-won had a crush on Ahn Su-ho. She didn’t realize it herself, but the crush mixed with a bit of love. Ji Ye-won has a little affection for Ahn Su-ho, who risked her life to save her, without even knowing it. It was an infinitely small emotion to call it love, but it was a feeling that definitely existed.

And the feeling of betrayal she felt now was her betrayal of that love affair.

Even if it’s not as much as the feelings she has for An Su-ho, An Su-ho must also think of herself as special. Subconsciously, she thought so. That’s why Ahn Su-ho is so concerned about his safety.

However, the reality was different. The reason Ahn Su-ho was concerned about her life was because he was a security guard. It was strange that he cared so much about her because he was her only security guard, but that wasn’t the point.

The important thing was the fact that Ahn Su-ho’s goodwill was not entirely based on his feelings. In fact, in front of her, the details of the circumstances she didn’t know were okay.

‘That’s strange. Why do I feel this way?’

However, Ji Ye-won, who was not aware of the love affair, did not understand the cause of her intense feelings.

The reason why Ahn Su-ho was concerned about his life was because of his own job. That was what she was thinking in her head. He said that although he was a little shocked, that he was a little taken aback, but that it was not something he would take too seriously.

– Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.

However, the violently beating heart as if it was unfair, and the subtle emotions rising from the depths of her heart, showed a completely different reaction from her reason.

Ji Ye-won did not understand the gap between reason and emotion.

“…… There seems to be a misunderstanding. Of course, it’s not just because I’m a security guard that I’m worried about Yewon’s safety. Like the human affection built up while living together, the empathy you should have as a person—”

“What kind of tongue is that long? Like someone who did something wrong.”

I didn’t understand, so in order to escape from that misunderstanding, I spit out words that I didn’t even mean to say.

“What to do with this? My security guard’s reason to protect me is gone. Could it be that he has nothing to do with this and turns me over to the police?”

I tried to hide my uncomfortable feelings with a joke. It was an instinctive defense mechanism she was not even aware of.

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

On the other hand, Ahn Su-ho, who was uncomfortable with this situation, also actively jumped on the joke.

“…… You can rest assured. The Dawn Team caught a lot last time, so there won’t be any lack of performance for the time being.”

“hahahaha. That’s good.”

At that reaction, Ji Ye-won laughed bewildered. It was a strangely awkward laugh, different from the mischievous laugh she had been making before.

“But how long are you going to use honorifics for me? You say you’re 24? You’re a year older than me, why don’t you just let go?”

“Yes. I’m not a Greenhouse student anymore, so there’s no need for unnecessary manners. So, do you want to talk from now on?”

“Yes. It’s much better to let go. I’m just saying this now, but all those years, those gentle honorifics like Mr. Ye-won and Mr. Ye-won made me feel sick to my stomach.”

“It’s a gentle honor. It’s just being polite person-to-person. Unlike you, I’m not the type to speak rudely from the beginning.”

“Why, then change it to something more respectful now?”

“You said it well once. Why don’t you just call me brother by the title?”

“My brother is a jerk. I’d rather bite my tongue than call you that.”

There was a constant exchange of words between the two. It was the result of both of them talking about anything to break the awkward atmosphere.

However, the effect was clear. The sense of betrayal in Ji Ye-won’s heart gradually faded in the ongoing conversation. She didn’t even have a strong sense of betrayal that would linger for a long time in the first place. The love she had for An Su-ho was only that much.

At least not yet.

Ji Ye-won smiled as she calmed down before she knew it. It was a natural smile rather than the awkward smile from before.

“Anyway, that’s how it turned out. For the time being, I will be living next door to her as 23-year-old guitarist Ye Ji-won, so please take good care of me.”

“Yes. When do you turn the moving rice cakes?”

“As you can see, it’s a bleak house with nothing on it. Let’s see where to turn……. Is there only ramen? Shall I boil one for you this time?”

“Thank you for doing so. I was just starving.”

“You can look forward to it. I cook a bowl of ramen very vigorously.”

“Can’t you just use that pot as it is?”

“You don’t have to tell me, I’ll wash it properly before using it, so just wait in silence.”

Ji Ye-won, as if running away, took her pot and headed for her sink. In an instant, her silence fell in the noisy room.

‘…… It took ten years.’

Amidst the silence, Ahn Soo-ho silently let out a sigh of relief.

She never expected her Ji Ye-won to be suspicious of her own actions in that way, that she would hit her head, even if it was just a coincidence. It was a heart-wrenching experience for him.

– Woo woo woo woo.

At that time, Ahn Suho’s smartphone vibrated. When I checked the screen, a text message had arrived with the caller ID restricted.

[ Investigation results are out. This is an interim report, not final. Please come to our club tomorrow. ]

The sender was not listed, but judging from the content and the awkward Korean language, it was clear that the sender was Illyana Faust.

‘It’s been less than a day yet, but it’s so fast.’

Ahn Soo-ho was trying to send a reply saying that he would visit him tomorrow morning, but belatedly realized that it was impossible to reply because the caller ID was restricted. He thought about replying to Illyana’s number that he had received during the day, but he soon stopped, thinking that there must be a reason why he sent it because he was restricted from displaying the caller ID.

“What? Did anyone text you?”

After washing the dishes, Ji Ye-won approached him and asked.

“Just stay.”

“Who is it? Maybe a lover?”

It was a question I asked as a joke without much thought. Ji Ye-won herself thought so, but in fact, the question was the result of her subconscious expression of the betrayal she felt a moment ago.

“That can’t be. It’s a lover, it’s a nabal, it’s not. Now is not the time for me to go out with anyone.”

“Really?”

So when she felt a strange sense of relief from Ahn Su-ho’s answer, Ji Ye-won didn’t know why she felt relieved.

“That’s it.”

However, she seemed to feel a little better after grunting.
