Chapter 106 – Remorse (2)
As midterms approached, we began to see each other more often.
I don’t know which university is like that, but the grades of Korean universities are directly related to the future.
Every year in March, countless applications to join large guilds pour in.
The number is estimated at thousands to tens of thousands.
No matter how hard it is to select talented people, it is impossible to meet all of them.
After all, the first thing they see is your resume.
What are their characteristics, what are their basic abilities, what is their history of dungeon raids, etc.
In addition, Korean University students add one more thing.
Just sexuality.
A place where the talents of Korean university students gather.
Overcoming numerous competitors there and achieving high grades is a medal in itself.
Some of the large guilds even set up a separate selection system that unconditionally hires students who are within the top 20% of university grades.
The dungeon practice is one of the exams with the highest grades.
If you eat it here, it will be difficult to recover it elsewhere.
So that’s how it got to this point.
We used to meet a couple of times a week, but now we get together almost every weekday to train and go to dungeons.
“Elena! The cover is a bit late.”
“I’m sorry!”
The person who showed the most enthusiasm was none other than Shin Yoo-jung.
The fact that he is serious about his job as a real hunter is transmitted more strongly as time goes on.
I wonder if I am studying tactics in my own way, and if there are 10 things that bother me, I will take care of 3 to 4 of them, give advice to the team members, and fix them.
“Seoyeon-senpai, in your current position, magic was better than sword.”
“Ah… , Okay?”
“…….”
The longer I spent with them means the longer I spent with Seoyeon.
At first, it was so awkward and uncomfortable to meet and talk, so I worried a lot, but now it’s okay.
How to say… , I still care about it, I keep my eyes on it, but it doesn’t feel excessive like when it was Son Si-woo?
So, instead of emotions, I pay more attention to other parts these days.
“Write… , That’s not what I do.”
The swordsmanship that Seo-yeon learned from watching at will keeps getting stepped on.
The taste is quite good, and it seems to be used in the right place, but there are so many things that are lacking.
Predictably, he’ll have a natural gift for seeing and learning with his own eyes.
Perhaps those swordsmen also realized themselves after seeing me.
But the problem is that now Son Si-woo is not me.
In other words, it was in line with the meaning that he could no longer see Son Si-woo’s swordsmanship, which would give him a clue to enlightenment.
Of course, I don’t know if it would be possible if our Jap Siu could handle my body perfectly….
“Can that be possible?”
I really don’t like to say things like this, but that’s an idiot.
Lazy, indolent, and a bad person who only insists on the easy way.
What… , As each person has their own individuality, they respect such a life as much as possible.
But my body can’t do that.
My body has to take the thorny road instead of the comfortable road, not being lazy and sincere.
In other words, his personality and my body are the opposite of each other.
I recently read an article about him on the internet.
Did you say you were going to take a sabbatical with the excuse that you were tired?
The atmosphere of public opinion is not bad because of the achievements Son Si-woo has made so far.
“It wouldn’t be possible to run away for at least a year.”
There is a high probability that his bad personality was displayed in a bad way.
He must have taken out a sabbatical year card as if he wanted to run away and see.
In the meantime, time flies, and he won’t even use the time he earned.
“Are you thinking of changing it back?”
Perhaps he is waiting for three years when the mutual non-aggression pact that he arbitrarily negotiates ends.
He would have noticed that Han Joo-hee and the show window couple he liked so much, and he would have known that my life wasn’t all that happy.
After somehow enduring and enduring, wouldn’t he try to change his body with me again?
But what about
“I hate it.”
Unlike him, I’m very happy with this body.
His face is handsome, and his height is slowly getting closer to his original body.
Wealth? Honor? That kind of thing comes into your hands on your own over time.
The talent this body has is just as great.
Maybe after 3 years when mutual inviolability is over and we can face each other, it’s possible enough to give him a shot.
“I look forward to it.”
I forced myself to hold back the laughter that almost burst out.
Curious and looking forward to it.
When he realizes that the value of his body, which he discarded as useless and pathetic, has a value that is incomparable to anything else in the world.
What kind of expression will he make?
“Hey, Kim Dojin! No magic whatsoever… !”
Quaang-!
“Yes? Why?”
“… No, good job.”
Fresh.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All schedules for today are over.
The dungeon clearing was done well without any mistakes, Elena was happy to earn money, and the sum became stronger.
I change my clothes and go home with Shin Yoo-jung, but suddenly a familiar face pops up in front of me and blocks my way.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Yes, there is.”
It is Seoyeon.
His gaze was directed at me, not Shin Yoo-jung.
It seems that I have something to do.
“I heard it earlier.”
“… What?”
“When I used my sword, you did that. It’s not like that….”
I almost got goosebumps for a moment.
It was so small that Na-eun Lim, who was closest to her, couldn’t hear it, but she heard it?
Somers, what is it?
“When you say that, it means you know a better way to do something.”
“…….”
“So tell me. What you felt while watching my swordsmanship, everything to me.”
The eyes that always looked far away are shining on me who is closest to me.
And that too with very intense enthusiasm.
* * *
Seo Jeong-hee woke up much later than usual in the morning.
The first reason was that she had no reason to get up early because she was traveling.
“Ah, the head….”
Even her throbbing headache didn’t feel too bad for her.
It had been a long time since she drank so much, so she liked even that.
After washing up, putting on makeup, and finishing her breakfast, she looked at the scenery outside the hotel with eyes full of regret.
“Sorry. I really liked it….”
Originally, she wanted to continue here and there longer, but she realized that she couldn’t just enjoy it.
Seo Jeong-hee, who came out after checking out, immediately booked her bus ticket.
The destination is Haenam.
It was where her husband was working.
‘Let’s go and meet.’
I honestly don’t know anything.
The last time I saw her husband was New Year’s Day this year.
When she comes face to face with her husband, whom she hasn’t seen in over half a year, what feelings do she have?
Also, what kind of expression will her husband make when he sees himself who suddenly came to him?
She had left it unknown until now, but now she wanted to know, and she had to.
She waited for about an hour and then took a three-hour bus to Haenam.
The southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula.
Her husband’s workplace was an observatory at the far end of them all.
It is not an observatory for tourists, but a special observatory built to monitor the sea.
Dungeons aren’t just created on land.
Even in the air above the sea, cracks appear.
And in the past without knowing it, cities adjacent to the sea suffered great damage.
Since then, special observation decks have been created in cities adjacent to the sea.
As a base for the Sea Rift Observatory that monitors the sea.
Her husband was a member of one such watchdog.
A lookout member of the Watchtower who is treated on par with a Level 7 civil servant.
“You must still be working….”
Said the husband.
Due to the recent decrease in the number of guards, their working hours have increased significantly.
Thanks to that, day or night, my eyes are lost and I am only looking at the sea.
Approaching her observatory, an armed soldier blocking her barbed-wire entrance signaled her to stop.
“This is a controlled area. What business did you come for?”
“Ah… , I’m here to see her husband.”
“Could you tell me your husband’s name?”
“I’m Shin Hyo-seop.”
The soldier, who was typing something into the small device he was wearing around his waist, expressed disapproval.
“Shin Hyo-seop appears to have left work today, but did he come without calling?”
“Ah… , Has he already left work?”
“Yes, I have a record of leaving work an hour ago because I work during the week today.”
In an instant, her pupils shook greatly.
Because what her soldier said was very different from what her husband always said.
‘I said I was busy without blinking….’
She said she was so busy that she never got off work on time.
Being called out to work every day, even on weekends, is like dying.
Her soldier, who had been standing some distance from her, approached her knowingly.
“Are you Hyo-seop’s wife?”
“Ah yes….”
“Hey… , I really didn’t know that Mr. Hyo-seop had such a beautiful wife.”
Seo Jeong-hee’s ears perked up slightly.
Judging by the way he spoke, she seemed to be quite friendly with her husband.
“Hoho, thank you. Since she said she was off work, I should go to her husband’s quarters.”
As she gave a gentle greeting and turned around, her man stopped her.
“Uh, Mr. Hyo-seop should be at the bar right now.”
“Pub… What?”
“Yes. There is a pub nearby that we often go to, and Hyo-seop is one of our regulars.”
Seo Jung-hee unconsciously bit her lower lip.
She asked her man, trying to disguise her calm expression.
“The location of that pub… , Could you tell me?”
“Yes, go all the way down this road and turn right….”
After thanking her man for guiding her in detail, Seo Jeong-hee moved on.
My heart is beating.
As the man said, the tavern wasn’t too far away.
From the beginning, it seems that the shop was opened with the guards working at the observatory as its main customers.
She slowly opened the store door and stepped inside.
A weak light bulb emits light in the dark atmosphere that has descended heavily.
Seo Jeong-hee found her husband without difficulty.
She was clinking glasses with two men who seemed to be her colleagues at a table not too far away.
The tantrum intensified.
‘You told me that you would die because you were busy… !’
She was about to run over and ask, but soon stopped her steps.
I suddenly became curious.
What is her husband’s real life like?
Instead of arguing, she changed her mind to find out more about it today.
