Chapter 107 – Remorse (3)
I like the posture very much.
It could just be a joke thrown by a junior, but the fact that he shows such enthusiasm means that he has the will to learn that much and he has a good attitude.
“Um….”
But that doesn’t mean I can’t teach him.
For once, there is no justification.
The swordsmanship that Seoyeon handles was invented by Son Siu, and is a swordsmanship that only Son Siu uses.
It is absurd that I, who is only a third person, teach it.
And something… , I feel a little bit embarrassed about it.
When I said I would teach you swordsmanship in the past, you showed such a cold reaction, but suddenly?
As a result, it is true that he was not able to teach swordsmanship due to Han Joo-hee’s disapproval.
But what if Seoyeon’s attitude at that time was the same as it is now?
No matter how much she was, she couldn’t stop her daughter-in-law’s enthusiasm.
Anyway.
I don’t know what kind of wind blows and shows such enthusiasm for the sword, but it’s impossible for me to teach Seo-yeon.
“As you know, I’m a mage, so I don’t know much about swordsmanship. By the way.”
However, it is not easy to give up harshly.
So, I set aside the relationship between Abi and her daughter and decided to give her only advice as a member of her team.
“I’m also a fan of Son Si-woo Hunter, so I looked for a lot of videos, but the feeling itself is different from that of my seniors.”
“The feeling is… , Different?”
It’s a look you can’t understand.
I guess so.
He must have seen my father’s swordsmanship and thought he was copying it.
The guy is seriously misunderstanding something.
They are under the illusion that only when they are fast and sharp can a sword cut down an opponent.
Actually, it’s not like that.
“Compared to Hunter Son Si-woo, what can I say about the senior’s sword… , I guess it feels like it’s hardened.”
“It’s hard… ?”
“Yes.”
Seoyeon’s face changed seriously.
Did you understand the meaning of the word hard?
Then he asked me again.
“Then… , How to?”
This is a very funny kid
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Ah….”
“As I said, I’m not familiar with swordsmanship, so I’m just expressing my impressions. Solving the problem… , It’s up to the seniors to the end.”
That’s all I can do so far.
It is entirely up to him to find out what the problem is and solve it with a general impression.
And depending on whether he solves it or not, his skills will fluctuate greatly up and down.
“Sorry, you are right. The solution is… , It must be something I have to do on my own.”
The guy’s way of talking is very subtle.
He speaks as if he were alone in the world.
“… You can ask Hunter Son Si-woo to watch it.”
Then the boy smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Nope. To this extent… , I have to solve it myself.”
Well.
Unlike the horse that seems to be independent, the tone is bitter.
Why are you making such a face?
It was to the point where I doubted whether the guy with whom my father blew a cold wind and the guy in front of me was the same person.
“Anyway… , Thanks for the advice. Then I’ll go.”
“Yes.”
After clearing up his dark expression, the guy passes by.
Shin Yoo-jung, who was listening to the conversation next to me, is looking at me with a surprising expression.
“Isn’t that you?”
“What.”
“Of the team members, you act coldly only to senior Seoyeon.”
“Did I… ?”
That’s pretty much right.
Right now I’m looking for good.
How should I treat him properly?
It’s strange to be cold for no reason, but it’s also strange to be friendly.
Anyway, since we got involved, in order to build a relationship that is not close, but that doesn’t mean it’s close.
Hehe.”
And he must have liked my efforts in a different way.
When I see her smiling happily as she puts her arm around my shoulder.
Because he’s really easy to understand.
* * *
“Why don’t you go home… ?”
When he started to spit out words with a slightly twisted tongue.
Seo Jeong-hee’s heart was beating wildly as she sat behind her, holding her breath.
As she listened intently to her next words, a courtesy waiter approached her table.
“Bon appetite.”
“Ah yes.”
The beer and seasoned golbaengi she ordered were placed on her table.
Seo Jeong-hee couldn’t hold anything in her hands.
Because only the words that came out of Shin Hyo-seop’s mouth were more important than anything else.
But her curiosity was deferred.
As the waitress who had placed drinks and snacks on my table approached their table.
“What are the three of you talking about so much fun?”
She spoke in a flirtatious tone quite different from when she spoke to her.
In response, the three of her people greeted her with a melted look on her face.
It was none other than Shin Hyo-seop who took the most active attitude.
“Oh, Miss Kim! If time permits, sit down and have a drink. Yes?”
“Whoops… , Then I’ll stay for a while.”
“If our Madonna came and served cold snacks, it would be bitter. Miss Kim orders all the snacks she wants to eat. Today I shoot!”
“Wow, really?”
“Ah, then!”
Shin Hyo-seop tilts a glass of wine with his hand on the shoulder of an extramarital woman.
Seeing this, Seo Jeong-hee doubted her eyes and ears.
It was difficult for her to get her mind back to the new side of her husband she had never seen in her life.
Under the leadership of Shin Hyo-seop, who was very excited, the table was abundantly filled.
Alcohol has also changed.
From soju to expensive liquor.
The reason was that I couldn’t get the waitress called Miss Kim to drink cheap liquor.
“Under.”
A single laugh filled with despondency leaked out of Seo Jeong-hee’s mouth.
She gulped down the beer on the table.
Even so, the heat that rose once did not go away easily.
Her hand holding the beer mug trembled.
‘I don’t even know I’m living like this, I….’
The first time her husband’s place of work was set in Haenam.
She squeezed her heart every day.
It was simply monitoring the sea area, but it did not prevent accidents from happening at all.
It was because they were the first ones to be swept away if the guards’ negligence or a huge rift that exceeded expectations appeared.
That feeling has continued to this day.
It wasn’t like before, but every time I hung up, I would give him one last reminder to be careful.
I did.
“Oh, what were you talking about earlier?”
“Oh, that? Hyo-seop hyung-nim doesn’t go home so I asked why he didn’t go.”
“Come to think of it, you haven’t answered yet, brother.”
“Ah… , Did you?”
My husband, who was already drunk, couldn’t even properly remember what had happened a little while ago.
“My wife is… He’s such a good person. It’s pretty, the food is good, there’s even a building in Seoul….”
Shin Hyo-seop connects his words by folding his fingers one by one.
If you listened to that point, it would have sounded like the pride of an out-of-pocket husband praising his wife.
But his intentions had only just begun.
“Really… , The perfect woman. As much as I want to be too much for me. Therefore… , When she is next to her, I become so-so small.”
Around the time when the two of them developed a sweet love as a college couple.
I had a child by mistake.
I was afraid, but it didn’t matter.
Back then, we loved each other so much, and the spirit of our youth was that we believed that as long as there was love, we could somehow manage our lives together.
That’s how the two became a couple without any money saved up or a mediocre job.
“I… , You really worked really hard to feed your family back then? By the way… , Life didn’t go the way I thought.”
At that time, he was young and full of ambition.
I made money by doing this job and that one with the single-minded determination to somehow feed my family.
But no matter how hard I worked, it was tight.
A life of barely earning a month, barely eating for a month.
Then, around the time Yoojung was five years old.
Seo Jeong-hee’s grandmother passed away.
According to her grandmother’s will, she became the villa’s landlord.
An old and shabby building.
However, the monthly rent there was enough for a family of three to live comfortably.
I was very happy that I no longer had to worry about rent or food, but… , He somehow felt himself becoming smaller.
No matter how hard he tried, the thought that everything would be solved with the monthly rent from the villa ate away at him.
He gradually became weak and lost his motivation.
He fell into a sense of self-doubt and came to regard himself as an ugly person.
Even so, the wife did not change one bit.
She took care of herself as she was at the time, beautiful and devoted.
It was comfortable and comfortable… , As if something important as a man had been castrated.
That’s how he lived like an empty shell, and blessings came to him.
Becoming an Awakener at a later age.
Although he couldn’t become a hunter because of his age and his attributes were not suitable for combat, he was lucky enough to get a chance to become a civil servant.
Life as a member of the Haenam Surveillance Battalion.
“What was I thinking then?”
“Huh… , I do not know. What would our Shin Daewon-nim think?”
Shin Hyo-seop laughs helplessly at Miss Kim’s kind attitude, who sprinkles appropriate seasoning on my words.
“Heh… , I was happy.”
Being a member of the Haenam Reconnaissance Battalion meant living far away from family.
It’s obviously sad and heartbreaking, but… , He was more than happy.
Things I thought had disappeared while living idlely began to fill up again.
So, with a happy heart, he distanced himself from his family.
At first, I was worried about my wife and daughter that I had left behind in Seoul, so I often visited the house, but that was only for a while.
“My good-looking wife raises her kids well and lives well without me.”
His wife was always happy to welcome him home, but he gradually changed his mind.
The thought that he could not be without him now dominated his mind.
From then on, he slowly began to increase his frequency of going home.
After a long time looking for a house, there was no problem.
He was sure
That he is the one who doesn’t have to be in this house.
It’s hard to see it as a NTR, when husband is giving MC such “support”.
