Chapter 198 – Chapter 198
A few days later, the day Eunchae came out again.
It was a weekend spent with Eunchae for the first time in a long time for Dokyun.
Widely-!
A card presented by Eunchae.
Do-gyun, whose remaining points became 0, admitted defeat with a big smile.
“Hey, I can’t win against Eunchae now.”
“… Phew.”
Eun-chae let out a sigh. Do-gyun raised his head at him, and what he saw was Eun-chae shaking her head and making a dissatisfied expression.
“Yes?”
“Bee-sama is an idiot.”
Flinch.
Do-gyun’s body trembled. Sadness was welling up inside.
You are so good at it
I wanted to say something like that, but it’s the iron rule of dueling that the loser should not speak.
Do-gyun made no excuses.
I will definitely accept defeat. Do-gyun, who recalled such a feeling, was about to admit his sloppiness.
“The president is stronger.”
As if looking somewhere far away, Eun-chae put her eyes on the air and added that.
Do-gyun felt his heart sink.
“Uh, how…”
Can you compare me to others
Feeling betrayed, she looked at Eun-chae with a stained face, but Eun-chae, who closed her eyes before she knew it, muttered a ‘hmm’ sound as if she was trying to remember something.
“I need to train more to beat the president’s card.”
Eun-chae’s instinct as a Duelist spoke.
She says she still has her own advantage but doesn’t know her afterlife.
The chairman was strong, and he said that he had to sharpen his skills more to keep this winner’s place.
I need to practice dueling more to beat the dragon cards the president has.
Eunchae collected the Juseom Juseom cards.
Even at that moment, Do-gyun stared blankly at Eun-chae with a face stained with deep sadness and despair.
Do-gyun, who had been looking at Eun-chae for a long time, lowered his head with a sullen expression.
‘I shouldn’t have taught you dueling.’
Such regret came into my mind.
*
Eun-chae, who had been waking up early in the morning and doing her duel, had to eat and wash her before finally inserting her card.
While sitting on the sofa, Do-kyun laughed at Eun-chae crouching on her thighs looking at her smartphone.
“Then your eyes get bad.”
“… Yes.”
A late reply.
Eun-chae was unable to properly respond to Do-gyun’s words as her nerves were focused on the image of her deep-sea fish floating above her smartphone, making her look dazed.
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to the screen Eun-chae was looking at.
All kinds of ugly fish were making their way through the dark deep sea.
Looking at them, Do-kyun remembered one thing.
‘It looks like a small cow.’
It was a do-gyun-like idea.
Isn’t it human beings who think of different things even when they see the same thing?
A sudden thought came to Do-gyun, and he prayed, thinking of Najaxo, where he had started salvaging some time ago.
‘… Please live.’
Please don’t die this time.
Please end… No, please stay alive until episode 100.
Duel Heojeok Do-Kyun was already in the midst of failing his 5th salvage because he had become a crap before he knew it.
*
“Bee.”
“Yes?”
“Does the bee have any friends?”
Eun-chae asked.
Do-gyun’s body trembled.
While watching the koi in the pond, Do-gyun looked at Eun-chae at a sudden provocation, not knowing what to do.
“What do you mean? You don’t have friends…”
“Is Bee an outcast?”
Are you making a fuss?
Do-gyun narrowed his eyes at the thought that came to his mind and looked at Eun-chae.
Innocent face as usual. The only thing that comes to mind is curiosity.
‘It’s not a quarrel…’
Why are you asking this?
Do-gyun, who came up with a question, looked at Eun-chae for a while, and immediately replied in the most benevolent manner.
“No, I have a lot of friends. It’s because we haven’t met often lately.”
There was no guilt for lying. No, it wasn’t a lie.
Do-kyun thought that the standard of more or less was a subjective domain.
Even though there are less than five people that come to mind, I still thought that was a lot.
The answer that Do-kyun got stabbed for nothing.
At that, Eun-chae nodded her head, saying ‘Hmm’, and continued speaking while looking at the pond.
“Bee, this is a secret.”
“Yes?”
“The president says he has no friends.”
Flinch-.
“That, is it?”
“Yes. The president is an outcast.”
Trouble soared over Do-gyun’s face. If I said ‘I see’ to that, I didn’t know what would happen, so I couldn’t pick out the answer to do it, so it was like that.
Even while Do-gyun made a face full of embarrassment, Eun-chae continued to speak.
“I read books alone every day. No one seems to play without Eunchae.”
Whistle whistle. Eun-chae, who was sitting with her butt on top of Do-gyun’s thigh, stirred his leg.
Watching Eun-chae speak like that, Do-gyun realized belatedly why he asked if he had any friends.
Do-gyun, who looked at Eun-chae’s bumpy face, her legs that were shaking for no reason, and her hand that she was holding tightly in the middle of it, said that with a smile.
“Does the president have any friends?”
“Yes? I said no.”
“Eun-chae is the president’s friend.”
Eun-chae raised her head. The gaze scanned Do-gyun.
Her head tilted and moved.
“I am not your friend.”
“Yes?”
“It’s a rival.”
“Ah, aha…”
A crooked smile tugged at the corners of Dokyun’s mouth.
Like that. You were a rival
Do-gyun couldn’t pick out the words to say for a while and let out such an awkward laugh, then stroked Eun-chae’s head.
“Rivals are friends too.”
Eun-chae narrowed her eyes at the feeling of brushing her own hair, and licked her lips.
“… Chairman, I feel sorry for you.”
Eun-chae thought. Being alone in the house like that is so lonely. It is so cold and painful that there is no one to be with.
Because she herself did too. Because I’ve been so lonely and hurt.
Eun-chae hoped that the president would no longer be cold and sick.
As Do-gyun absentmindedly watched Eun-chae speak her mind, she remembered that she was deeply moved by the fact that Eun-chae had become a child who could think of others.
“You’re so nice.”
“Yeah, that’s nice. Eunchae is pretty.”
Eun-chae placed her fist on her cheek. His own aegyo with an expressionless face.
At that, laughter burst out of Do-gyun’s mouth.
*
Evening time.
Do-gyun saw Eun-chae dipping the meat with his chopsticks tightly, and remembered the conversation he had with Eun-chae just before.
– I feel sorry for you, Chairman.
The words he said after seeing the president who was always alone.
I thought about it for a long time.
Baeksan ignores Eunah. He maintains a business relationship with Eun-seol. When Eun-chae goes, he makes time for Eun-chae throughout the day.
Do-gyun, who had been thinking about them all the time, then came up with the question of what Baek-san’s feelings for Eun-ah were.
Turning away from Eun-ah, but not turning away from Eun-seol.
‘Eunchae…’
Reason to stay with you.
At first, I thought that Baeksan would hate Eun-ah, but looking at it, it wasn’t.
If Eun-ah didn’t like it, if that imperfection was something he didn’t like, then Baeksan would have gotten rid of both Eun-seol and Eun-chae early on.
But why not?
Do-kyun, who continued to think, was able to come up with a guess.
‘… Because I’m scared.’
Maybe Baeksan is afraid of Eun-ah.
Maybe he is afraid of facing Eun-ah and facing her heart.
He said he was always alone.
When I think of his appearance when I saw him in person, I remember that he was infinitely cold.
If all of that was just fear, if it was because he didn’t have the confidence to face Eun-ah, he raised the wall.
Do-gyun’s expression darkened.
The gaze fell down.
Do-gyun, who continued to think while staring blankly at his portion of rice bowl, came up with the question of how he should view Baeksan if his guess is correct.
Even if it was fear, he raised the question of how to look at the person who neglected Eun-ah at that time.
I can see good… Of course not.
No matter how great Baeksan was, what was important to him was Eun-ah.
No matter how lonely he’s been living, that’s no excuse.
Do-gyun, who was continuing his thoughts, exhaled for a moment with a ‘fu’ in his complicated mind, then closed his eyes tightly and opened them again.
‘… This.’
It wasn’t for him to decide.
The target of Baeksan’s crime was Eun-ah, so it was up to Eun-ah to judge.
Both resentment and forgiveness belonged to Eun-ah.
Even if you put rhetoric on it, you are the third person after all.
Do-gyun thought for a long time, but after coming to such a conclusion, he reflected on what he had to do.
To support Eun-ah so that it does not collapse.
That’s it.
Either Eun-ah kept away from Baek-san, or forgave him.
No matter what choice he made, all he had to do was to take care of Eun-ah at that time.
‘Should I tell you?’
Should I tell Eun-ah about my guess? The moment that thought came to mind.
“Bee.”
Eun-chae called Do-gyun.
Do-gyun shook his body a little, then raised his head and looked at Eun-chae.
“Yes?”
“More meat.”
Eun-chae pointed to the plate.
On the plate…
“I forgot the meat again.”
“Yes. The meat is delicious.”
All the meat was gone, leaving only the vegetables.
Do-gyun looked at it and smiled at Eun-chae’s flushed face again.
“Wait a minute, I’ll bring you more.”
“Yes.”
A bright voice that blows away all gloomy thoughts up to the moment.
Do-gyun was able to get away from his worries for a while.
