Chapter 117 – That Man’s Life (Ver. Siwoo)
It’s 6:00 a.M. As the morning sun prepares to rise.
Two eyes twinkle in the quiet darkness that does not bother anything.
The man, Zap Siu, looked up at the ceiling as if he was used to it and sighed.
“Ha….”
At this time, even if no one wakes you up, your eyes will open without fail.
“I want to sleep more.”
If you open your eyes, don’t you just close them and go to sleep?
If it was, I would have done it a long time ago.
This strong body will never allow such tricks.
Eyes and mind, once opened, will never disintegrate until the night is deep.
“The day will come when I can sleep to my heart’s content someday….”
This body’s original wake-up time was actually five o’clock in the morning, not six o’clock.
Thanks to all the effort I put into being lazy, I was able to sleep an hour longer.
So, maybe I can look forward to waking up in the late morning someday.
Jjam Siu, who was about to leave the room, stopped turning the doorknob and stepped back.
“Oh, you have to wash first.”
Shortly after taking this body, I went out in a disheveled state and heard Han Joo-hee nagging me.
Don’t walk around looking untidy.
Did you say that each and every one of those lax looks ruins the image?
Unable to forget the sad nagging, he goes into the bathroom attached to the room, cleans himself thoroughly, and leaves the room wearing suit pants and a shirt tailored to his body.
‘What’s for breakfast this morning?’
His thoughts are generally so.
There is no thought of looking into the distant future at all, only obsessed with short-sighted thinking.
What’s for breakfast this morning, what to do after eating, etc.
I just focused on getting through each day and enduring it.
As I walk slowly through the hallway, I run into Han Joo-hee, who is heading towards the study with a cup of steaming coffee in her hand.
I feel it all over again.
‘Pretty.’
A photograph always surpasses the real thing.
All the women I’ve met so far have been like that.
The difference is only in the degree of the gap between the photograph and the real thing, but no one has ever beaten the real thing over the photograph.
Except for Han Joo-hee in front of me.
‘How can I be prettier than a picture?’
In Zap Siu’s eyes, everything seemed perfect for her.
Shiny red hair, sharp eyes and cool eyes, smooth nose and red lips.
On top of that, the voluptuous chest and narrow waist that would kill even Westerners.
If you look at her, her voice rises.
Her self-confidence, which would stay on her bed for the rest of her life if only she could be reached, entangled with her, springs up.
Okay.
‘If you can reach it….’
When I was Kim Do-jin, I saw her through her monitor as a rice cake in the picture, a feeling I couldn’t eat.
It was literally like a star floating in the sky, let alone stabbed, that I dared not even see in real life.
So, after giving up her youth, she saw only her one and took Siwoo’s body.
She never dreamed of being so far away that even her husband’s body could not reach her.
‘A show-window couple, what is this….’
Who would have known.
Known as one of Korea’s representative parakeet couples, Son Si-woo and Han Joo-hee are a show window couple.
Thanks to that, it’s already been several months since I lived with Son Si-woo’s body, but I haven’t been able to hold hands.
No, we rarely had private conversations.
Her Zap Siu smiled awkwardly at her and waved her hand at her.
“Joe, good morning.”
“… Yes.”
She went into her study without saying a single word.
“… I am hungry.”
Feeling hungry, Son Si-woo went down the stairs with a depressed expression.
Three servants are busy moving in the spacious kitchen.
And I saw an unexpected person.
‘Ugh, Son Seo-yeon.’
Her daughter, Son Seo-yeon, was sitting at her kitchen table, nibbling at her grains of rice.
Eyes meet.
Resembling my mother, the sharp eyes approach her as if stabbing her whole body at any moment.
“Hey, did you sleep well?”
“… Yes.”
Sit across from them and start eating.
Each one of them uses only the best ingredients to make your mouth happy.
But that’s for a while.
Jap Siu, who was enjoying his meal, raised his head.
Sure enough, she sees Son Seo-yeon staring at her.
“… Anything to say?”
“No, there is not.”
… If not, please don’t look at me.
I can’t bear to spit it out and I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
It’s always been like that lately.
At first, it was difficult to even see her face, but lately, she has started eating with me at the same time she eats breakfast.
It would be fortunate if it was that far, but lately I keep staring at myself instead of eating.
When I ask her why, she just says it’s nothing, and after watching her until she’s satisfied with herself, she tilts her head once as if wondering, then disappears.
‘If I had my original body, I would have pretended 300 times already.’
Fortunately, the S-class hunter’s body was as strong as steel, so he didn’t get upset.
After a hearty breakfast, he went back to his room, put on his suit jacket, and grabbed his smartphone and wallet.
He answered the phone right away when it vibrated.
-I put the car on standby.
“… Uh, get out now.”
The hellish rush hour has arrived.
“Phew….”
Jap Siu leaves the room with a small sigh.
As I trudged down the hallway, the door to the library suddenly opened.
His face immediately came to life.
‘What day is it today?’
I wish I could see her face twice in the morning, on any day.
Her cool gaze turns to Jjam Siu.
“… My steps have slowed down lately.”
“Yes? Ah….”
Does it mean to kill footsteps?
Haha, sorry….”
He looks at him for a while at the apology he gives with an awkward smile, then turns his head away.
“You didn’t forget tonight, did you?”
At the same time another crisis came.
What happened this evening? Searching my mind, nothing comes to mind.
I don’t know why, but the memories in my head seem to be blocked by something.
Except for those that come to mind intermittently, all other memories are dark.
At times like this, thoughts usually flash like a flickering light bulb, but today it’s dark news.
Without her help, he had no choice but to ask her.
“If it’s tonight… ?”
Her piercing gaze pours out.
“I told you a few days ago to leave work early because it’s the day Joo-yeon returns home.”
“Ah, ah, yes!”
When was it?
I don’t remember her, but she passes the crisis by pretending to remember belatedly.
“You are a bit strange these days.”
“Mu, mu, what?”
“Everything. Don’t people who have never rested their whole lives suddenly say they’re going to take a sabbatical, or people who said that if they don’t train every morning, thorns will grow on their bodies, don’t they skip training….”
Every time they are mentioned one by one, the stomach tightens.
Is this the pressure that an S-class hunter exudes?
As she ponders what to answer, she turns and grabs her doorknob.
“Well, since you’re not young anymore, that might be the case, but… , I hope I don’t forget things like schedules.”
“That, yes. I will pay more attention in the future.”
“… Yes, then.”
Kung-
The door of the study closes.
“Whoa….”
Jap Siu breathes a sigh of relief, escaping from the crisis.
The smart phone in her pocket rang again.
It’s obvious.
I’m going to urge you to say it’s time to go to work.
“Go, go….”
I walk down the stairs a little faster and leave the front door.
“Are you here, Master!”
“Yes, good morning.”
After a brief morning greeting with the driver, I boarded a luxury sedan parked on the side of the yard.
“Then we will depart.”
A sedan that goes smoothly.
Sitting in the spacious back seat, Jjam Siu looked at the surrounding scenery quickly passing by.
‘Namdo Restaurant, Jogang Interior, Park Gane’s Sundaeguk….’
Despite running at 80 km/h, everything passing by seems slow.
‘It’s a body like a real monster.’
Even though I’ve been doing it for several months, it’s just amazing.
And get frustrated
When he took Son Si-woo’s body, what he wanted the most was Han Joo-hee.
However, when asked if he only wanted that, that wasn’t the case either.
‘S-class hunter.’
There are only five superhumans in Korea.
I also wanted that mighty power.
How thrilling it would be to steal someone else’s lifelong power without any trouble and use it as your own!
“Ehh.”
But even that was not achieved.
What if you have ultra-high-end hardware?
I lost all the software to deal with it!
‘Sometimes it comes to mind, but….’
Strictly speaking, not all is lost.
A few simple techniques remain in my head.
The problem was that after unfolding it, something was strange.
Even though I followed it perfectly as it came to my mind, I was not satisfied.
In the beginning, I thought it was because I wasn’t used to it yet, so I practiced a lot, but it was still the same.
I would have to practice harder and work harder only when I saw some progress, but when there was no such thing, Jjam Siu quickly gave up.
Because he is that kind of person in the first place.
“Im here.”
While lost in thought, he arrived at the guild building.
When I get out of the car, my eyes are focused on the people around me.
“Wow… , It’s Son Siwoo Hunter!”
“Awesome, I need to take a picture.”
My shoulders rise at the sound of the gossip of citizens passing by and the sound of camera shutters just in time.
But it was only for a moment.
As he entered the guild building, an unknown pressure began to weigh him down.
‘Let’s just do what we’ve been doing….’
Every minute and every second here is a series of tension.
Why?
Because I don’t know anything
There is only one thing that comes to mind of him.
“Chief Yoo takes care of the small things.”
This was what Son Si-woo often said when he handed over troublesome tasks to the chief secretary.
If it wasn’t for those words, it’s horrifying to imagine what would have happened by now.
Having left all the work to others, he passed the time in silence in the guild hall, which was large enough to kick a soccer ball and play.
Watching people pass by through the glass windows, lying on the couch.
The guild has only one goal.
Minimizing human contact.
You don’t know what kind of pods you’ll get caught by your colleagues, so it’s better not to meet them.
After that, the feeling of exhaustion sets in.
“Fuck….”
I wonder what the heck is this doing?
Acquiring the body of an S-class hunter is just hiding.
‘Since it happened like this, can I just survive?’
Even though I couldn’t hug Han Joo-hee.
Also, since I couldn’t use the power of an S-class hunter properly, I was taking a break from work, even making an excuse that I was on sabbatical.
Money and fame are still in his grasp.
If you use this to eat all kinds of beauties to your heart’s content….
“I’m going to hell right away….”
Reputation will be lost, and image will explode.
If that’s all, it’s nonsense.
What if the people around you noticed something strange and suddenly tortured you?
“… Let’s just live like this.”
You can’t live like this all your life.
“Only three years from now.”
When Hyeonta came very hard to a life that was far from ideal, he had a person investigate how his original body was living.
‘I thought I did the wrong research at first.’
I was astonished when I saw the picture taken by the agency employee.
It was because the fat pig had disappeared without a trace, and a tall, handsome man had taken its place.
Did you even wake up and enter a Korean university?
As soon as I saw it, a fire flared up inside me.
‘Then that’s all mine!’
Billionaires collapsed.
And I wanted to have it again.
From then on, he started turning the happiness circuit.
‘Son Si-woo truly loves his wife and daughter.’
A wife who doesn’t even look at her and a cold-hearted daughter.
It’s hard to understand, but Son Si-woo still loved the two of them unchangingly and sincerely.
So he was sure.
After three years, Son Siu’s side will come to find himself first and try to turn his body into a sword.
‘Aren’t they all good endings?’
Son Si-woo is happy to see his wife and daughter again, and he is happy to be a 20-year-old Korean college student!
‘Yes, this is correct.’
To do so, it is necessary to preserve his reputation as much as possible.
It would be embarrassing if I said that I would not change my body just because I destroyed my image.
‘So only three years.’
Let’s just stay until the day the ‘mutual inviolability’ and ‘prohibition of disclosure’ that we put on hold are over.
That was when he was holding all his heart.
His non-human senses arbitrarily read signs outside the door.
Bold gait.
“Ah.”
He thought he would be able to end the day safely, but the person he hated the most came to visit him.
Boom!
The door opens violently, and a cold-looking beauty steps inside.
A black evening dress that contrasted with her white skin, and the sun wasn’t too strong, but a woman holding a dark purple parasol in one hand walked confidently in and glared at him disapprovingly.
“You’re such an arrogant bastard that you don’t show respect even with the queen you serve right in front of you.”
“…….”
“Shouldn’t we be polite to the queen we saw!”
It’s a start again.
