Chapter 45 – 10. Secret Between the Two of You (1)
Seo Joo-ha stood in front of me.
The emaciated face and the eyes that have lost their light catch the eye first.
She worried that something might be wrong, but she could only feel fortunate to see her relatively unharmed.
In her joy of finally meeting her Seo Joo-ha, she forgot her current urgent situation and hugged her tightly.
After all, she has only seen her two or three times, but it seems that she did it inadvertently because of her long-term concern for her.
“Juha… I missed you.”
“Uh, uh…? Me, me too…! I missed you too…”
Fortunately, Juha didn’t push me away either, probably because he hadn’t seen me in a while.
Her warm warmth comes full from her arms.
“Are you feeling better? You still don’t look very good.”
“Eh… Let’s get out of here first, then let’s sit down and talk slowly…”
Oh right.
We were just about to die.
Now I can see the situation around me a little bit.
Looking at the scenery that is different from before, it seems to have escaped from the trap, but how did you escape?
While I was looking around, Juha muttered something and then came out and reached out to Ryu Xin.
The dark magic power added to her cloudy eyes gives the impression that she is not really human.
I feel my body being sucked little by little by Juha’s spell again.
I looked down at her feet and saw a small hand protruding from the shadow cast by the street lamp and grasping her ankle.
Obviously, Zhou Ha’s ability was known as ‘light’, but now Zhou Ha is definitely dealing with shadows.
During the 3 weeks she was gone, she was pretty sure something had happened.
Shadow from light…
It seems like a pretty significant change to simply pass on.
Probably a 3 week hiatus if you think of the most likely.
Perhaps, for some reason, her abilities changed after realizing her true identity.
It is not known in detail how a human being eaten by a cloaker changes in the original work, so it is not known in detail, but it is only vaguely assumed that it is related to cloakers.
“Jihoo… You can open your eyes now.”
The place where I rode the shadow again was right in front of my room.
Ryu Xin couldn’t see whether Juha had moved them separately, so only the two of us were left in front of her house.
Uh… But how do you know where my house is?
She wanted to ask her a question right away, but when she saw her teardrops welling up in her eyes, her desire to do so disappeared.
“Huh… Jihoo… I missed you…”
“Uh… Me too. I’m glad I can see you even now.”
As her Seo Joo-ha cried and was buried in her chest, I had no choice but to stand awkwardly next to her in a position of hugging her again.
I patted her on the back to soothe her, and decided to take her to my house because it was strange to be alone in front of her house like this.
Looking at her state of affairs, it seemed that she was not at her normal level now, so it was necessary to let her into her warm home without her evil intentions.
Even after entering my room, Joo Ha cried while holding me in his arms for a long time.
Then, having calmed down to some extent, she wiped her tears with her hand and called me with a wet voice.
“Jihoo…”
“Huh? Have you all cried now?”
“Huh, uhhh… I have something to confess to you…”
Joo-ha told me while holding back his tears as if he had made up his mind to do something.
It’s a confession.
In such a sudden meeting, after crying like this, the only confession I can think of is that.
“I… Actually, I’m not human… Uhhhhh…!!”
Sure enough, she found out who she had become.
To be honest, I have no idea how she got eaten by a monster, or why it only happened to me when there was no such description in her original work.
In the original work, they go on a date with Goryusin, who lives in the west, share sexual exchanges, and share joy and sorrow.
These are the things I did the same when I met her.
But why, even though I had little to do with Seo Ju-ha, did her fate change completely?
Maybe… There was some kind of intervention that I don’t know about.
But now, appeasing Seo Ju-ha was more important to me than such thoughts, so I decided to bury my doubts for now.
It’s not too late to think about that after having a little more solid evidence.
“Juha, actually, I knew about it from three weeks ago.”
“Huh… Uh, uh…? Eh…?”
“I’m just telling you, I have the ability to affect the human mind. But the day we dated, I tried to wake you up drunk, but it didn’t work.”
“…”
“So I realized when I got home. Oh, Ju-Ha was a little different from the average person.”
The fact that I can hypnotize should not be revealed to anyone.
I feel really sorry for Juha, who trusted me and confided in me, but this ability is like my last bastion.
Instead, I decided to tell you the rough content of ‘it can affect the human mind’.
I’m sorry I didn’t tell you anything, and I need to explain how I came to know her identity.
It was too calculated an act to even think about on its own.
However, apart from liking her, her current state of mind was beyond my control, so she needed to be a little more careful.
“…So, I… Don’t like it?”
“At first I was confused. I wonder if you were deceiving me or if you were dangerous… I had doubts about that. But as we talked that day… I wanted to.”
“I wanted to see… Jihoo… Me…? Ha, heuh, Jihoo, me…”
Her eyes, which looked up at me while holding me in my arms, gradually turned dark.
After all, Juha wasn’t normal right now.
“Well, then… Even though I know that, I send 3 text messages a day… And wait in front of my house…”
How else do you know you waited in front of the house?
Did you peek at it with something like a shadow?
“Yeah, because I was so worried about you. Who wouldn’t worry about someone who suddenly stopped coming out of school after dating until the day before?”
In fact, no one really cared about her except for me.
Juha seemed to have quite a few classmates, but in the first place, they hadn’t known each other for a long time, and when Reason was on sick leave, it seemed like everyone else was going to do that.
“Jihoo… Hey, I… I’ve been reading the texts you sent me every day. I’m sorry I didn’t reply… But, I really feel like I’m going to die. Even now, even now… In my head… I keep seeing someone I’m whispering. Ignore humans, acknowledge your existence… Uh, but… I can barely hear that voice when you’re around. Do you understand me…?”
“Juha. Calm down for a moment…”
“I… I bought you to save you, because I only came out after three weeks… I got that much courage… Me, I don’t think I can live without you…”
Her body hugs and burrows into me even more.
Even his voice trembled with anxiety, and it seemed that he had become a completely different person from last time.
“Jihoo… Will you love me? I… Ji-hoo, I love you so much… You text me 3 times a day too… So you love me, right?”
Joo-ha, with an almost crying expression, kept pouring out questions that were close to talking to herself.
How she’s been for 3 weeks. Now I think she knows a little bit about her.
In her constant agony and her self-loathing, she cut off all relationships with others and lives like a crippled person.
In such a life, my text messages that came three times a day would have been the only ray of light in her life.
Looking at her text messages, her affection for me gradually grew, and she became convinced of her love alone, and little by little she was broken.
Then, the moment I fell into a trap and was in danger of dying, she ran to me after three weeks of her lonely life with only the thought of protecting me.
“Sure. Of course I went to wait for you today. But it’s nice to see your face like this.”
“Hee hee, really…? I’m so happy right now…? My heart is beating so fast, do you want to… Touch it…?”
Juha forcibly grabbed my hand and brought it to her chest.
You can feel the rough thumping of your heart along with the soft feel of your breasts.
“Jihoo… I think I’m getting some courage now. That, how did I live without you? In the future, if you’re gone, I’ll have to die…! Right? Without you…”
I was able to be sure of one thing by watching her not doing anything even with extreme words.
Xu Zhou-ha’s excessive lack of love and self-loathing have now combined to cause some kind of psychosis-like symptoms.
She must have been in a difficult situation to control her own thoughts because the embankment of her emotions that she had been holding down all at once burst when she met me.
“Are you listening to me…? Are you ignoring me…? You really don’t love me…?”
If this is the case, we have no choice but to take special measures.
If she left her alone now, it seemed that she would never be able to get her back from this state, so I had to deeply connect with her Juha and alleviate her feelings to bring her back to normal. .
“Juha. Shall we have sex?”
Of course, the only means by which such sympathy is possible is, of course, sex.
