Chapter 72 – Chapter 72
Eun-ji, who had entered the house a step ahead of me, had changed to that short new Eun-seol.
“Have you come?”
Eun-seol, who found me, greeted me quietly as she left the dressing room.
“Good work. It wouldn’t have been easy to take care of a child all day.”
“No what…”
Words of praise for suffering.
Do-gyun, who was scratching his cheek at him, suddenly remembered the incident of losing Eun-ji at the amusement park, so he lowered his head and continued.
“I couldn’t even do it right. Sorry.”
Fortunately, he found it quickly and finished it well, but the guilt that was piled like a rock in his heart was still disturbing Do-gyun.
As Do-gyun lowered his head and darkened his expression, Eun-seol, who was watching him, let out his exhausted breath and offered words of comfort.
“I didn’t expect to be able to do it perfectly. As long as Eunji goes outside, it will happen someday.”
Flinch.
Something that will happen someday
Do-gyun, who was trembling at the words he heard, raised his head and stared at Eun-seol lying on the sofa.
Eun-seol also looked at Do-gyun and remained silent for a while. Eun-seol’s mouth opened again.
“What’s new, Eun-ji is, after all, a substitute for Go Eun-ah. It was created out of necessity. Like me and Ko Eun-chae, Eun-ji and the other kids each have their own roles.”
It was a calm tone, devoid of any emotion.
However, as he once did, Do-gyun felt an indescribable emptiness from these words.
So he had no choice but to ask.
“You don’t like that?”
A lot has changed since I first met her.
Little by little, she came to know about her, and her Do-kyun decided to become closer than her others.
I don’t know what she might think of this relationship, but Do-kyun thought that the relationship between the two was not something that couldn’t even ask such a question.
A question is asked, and Eun-seol remains silent for a while.
“Can it be good?”
Cold words were spoken.
Do-gyun’s fists clenched tightly at the coldness he felt from the answer he heard.
In that moment, many indescribable emotions filled Do-gyun’s heart, and countless thoughts continued.
Maybe Eun-seol is more dangerous than Go Eun-chae. By the time that thought ran through my head.
“Leave your thoughts aside.”
Her words continued.
Do-gyun shivered again at the words he heard. Eun-seol put on a timid smile and she added her words, retracting her gaze from Do-kyun until the day before.
“I don’t really want to have this body. It’s just, it’s just a bad feeling.”
Seeing him say that and close his eyes, Do-kyun couldn’t help but swallow the doubts that had risen to the tip of his chin.
Do other personalities think the same as you? No, before that, I wonder if I can assure you that what I am saying now is sincere.
Do-gyun, holding back his words, calmed down and moved on, and lay down on the sofa with Eun-seol at a distance enough for one more person to enter.
What followed was silence.
Eun-seol didn’t want to say anything, and Do-kyun didn’t have the confidence to say anything.
There was a fact that I took for granted.
If Ko Eun-chae disappears, everything will be fine.
If Ko Eun-chae disappears, Eun-a will be perfectly happy.
I thought so for granted.
However, Eun-seol, Eun-ji, and Eun-sam, and the last personality that has yet to appear, were also substitute personalities.
For Go Eun-ah’s perfect happiness.
‘Personalities that should disappear.’
At the thought of that, her fingertips flinched and trembled.
Then, a thought started popping into her head.
For Eun-ah’s happiness, those personalities must disappear.
Even though it’s a very obvious fact, even though it’s a fact that I’ve already thought of a few times.
Seeing him face to face made me feel sick to my stomach.
Myself.
‘I.’
Can I do it
Will he be willing to erase Eun-seol, Eun-ji, and Eun-sam from the world?
‘Doesn’t exist.’
I was not confident.
It wasn’t a question of ability. It was an emotional issue.
Eun-seol, who looks so cold-hearted but has a lot of lingering emotions.
Eunji, who laughed and chatted with me until just before.
Just looking at it made me angry, but getting rid of Eun-sam, who was smiling brightly, was something he couldn’t do.
His fists clenched again, and his teeth clenched.
Then, the moment when negative emotions slowly filled up inside.
“Other thoughts, I would have told you to put it in.”
Again, the words of the hidden seol were heard.
When Do-gyun, startled, turned her head to look at Eun-seol, she finally turned her gaze to Do-gyun and continued her words.
“As I said before, overthinking becomes delusion. Concentrate on what is right in front of you.”
It was an accusatory statement that seemed to see through everything I was thinking.
“What you need to worry about right now is Go Eun-chae. How can I get rid of that bitch? Think about it.”
It was right.
What he needs to focus on now is to separate Ko Eun-chae from Go Eun-ah.
Unbeknownst to me, my expanded thoughts were stepping into the realm of delusion, just as she said.
Even if it was something I would face someday, it wasn’t something I had to worry about right now.
My stomach was still stuffy. My head hurt a little from the tight stuffiness.
However, it was not something she had to think about right now, so Do-gyun, who had regained her composure, spat out her apology toward Eun-seol.
“Sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
She took her apology lightly, and Eun-seol, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth again.
“As much as I regained the initiative, Ko Eun-chae must have been in a hurry. Because when the hierarchy goes back to normal, it really is over.”
It was a story about Go Eun-chae.
“It doesn’t make much of a difference what you have to do. However, you have to move with Go Eun-chae in mind. I don’t know what the cornered bitch will do.”
Do-gyun felt tension go through him.
I knew about the dangers of her high eunchae because she had explained it to me several times.
She always moved with him in mind, and Eun-seol didn’t say much about him either. However, to warn him about it now must mean that it is serious.
“Is it that dangerous?”
“You know, that bitch is crazy. Not an idiomatic expression, but a real crazy bitch.”
After saying that, Eun-seol frowned and added his words.
“That bitch is beyond common sense. Even I, who have been with her all my life, still cannot understand what she is doing.”
As Eun-seol said, Ko Eun-chae’s actions were far from common sense.
In response, Do-kyun had a question that popped into his head and spit it out.
“Is there any way to stop it? Like a precursor before it comes out, or a way to stop it after it has already come out.”
“I do not know. Things are very different from now.”
My head hurts in a different way than before.
“Okay…”
A deep voice came out of my mouth and my thoughts deepened. She let out a deep sigh and spoke her words.
“Right now, you have no choice but to act more carefully. The hierarchy has never been so distorted, so I can’t give you a definitive answer.”
“I understand for now.”
Do-gyun nodded his head and answered.
I had to come up with a useful countermeasure by combining the things I learned from Eunji’s actions today and the warnings I had just heard, but it didn’t seem like the answer would come out that easily.
While continuing her worries for a long time, she got up from the sofa and started talking to Do-gyun.
“Well, I am not saying that you should think of a solution right away. I said it because I thought it was right to ask, so think about it slowly.”
After saying that, Eun-seol went to the shelf opposite the sofa, rummaged through her shelf, took out her patch, and opened her mouth again.
“For now, lie down there. I’ll even put a paste on it.”
“Yeah?”
Let Do-gyun question the unexpected words.
“Do you have muscle pain? You’ve been moaning since before.”
Eun-seol replied in a non-trivial tone.
Only then did Do-gyun, realizing his condition, secretly touched his waist and let out a sound.
“Ah.”
Come to think of it, my physical condition was not good because I was moving all day.
Are you good at observation?
Do-gyun, who stared blankly at her for a moment, then laid her down and spat out words of gratitude.
“Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
After talking, Eun-seol lifted up Do-gyun’s shirt, who was lying on the sofa, and started putting patches on Do-gyun’s back one by one.
“Turn it off…”
I let out a moan at the feeling of a cold patch sticking to my waist.
“Sick bastard. So, you should have put it in moderation.”
Flinch.
Do-gyun, who was shivering at the beating he heard, protested a little, feeling a sense of unfairness rising.
“Why are you talking about that again?”
“You bastard.”
Coming back was another sell-off.
Eun-seol, who looked at Do-gyun pathetically for a moment, continued by attaching another piece of paste.
“I have to go out tomorrow, so know that.”
“Yeah?”
Shocked by the sudden notification, Do-gyun turns his head toward Eun-seol.
“It’s the end of the year, so I have a lot of things to do.”
An explanation has been added.
In response, Do-gyun expressed his refusal to her words, feeling the annoyance and tiredness all over his body.
“Hey, can’t we rest at home? I am very unwell.”
In response, Eun-seol tilted her head for a moment and recalled the question, then gave an answer with a blank laugh as if it was absurd.
“If you don’t go out, who will drive?”
“Yeah?”
“I have to drive.”
Do-gyun felt his mind go blank for a moment at the words he heard.
Therefore.
‘I’m taking him out to drive?’
For a while, I want to feel ridiculous.
Then, Do-gyun, who remembered something he had forgotten, recited to him.
“Hit. You can’t drive.”
Do-gyun nodded his head and said that. Right after that, her hand, which had been attaching a patch behind her back, was swung wide.
Jab-!
Do-gyun’s waist bent like a bow at the sudden pain, and a scream came out.
“Ah!”
“All attached.”
Excruciating pain.
When Do-gyun turned his head in surprise, he saw Eun-seol’s expressionless face looking down at him.
“No, you can just say it…”
Do-gyun, who feels unfair again, makes a small protest.
“Yeah, I forgot.”
An insincere answer came.
Do-kyun saw Eun-seol shrugging his shoulders with a dry face and realized that it was an outburst of anger.
‘No shit…!’
Do-gyun, whose mouth is wide open at Eun-seol’s act of taking out her anger by hitting her sore spot for saying just one word, stares blankly at her.
“What.”
A high-pressure tone was heard.
“No, no.”
The snow is slowly falling down.
It’s hard to get the words out when you look at me with your eyes closed like that.
One day, I wondered why my body shrank so much whenever I looked at it like that, and then I realized something.
‘Temporary hyung…’
Those eyes resemble the older brother of a bully in the neighborhood who terribly bullied me when I was young.
The bully hyung who used to play by stealing the SSR Blue-Eyes Black Dragon card, which was Treasure No. 1, and pushing me into a ditch.
Just looking at those eyes reminded me of that older brother, and my body shrank.
In a word, it was PTSD.
‘Fuck, I’m unfair…’
It felt like there were tears in my eyes.
I have suffered all day long, and I am saddened by the pain, but even though I am not able to give warm hugs, I am filled with sadness from the depths of my heart.
I missed Eun-ah.
I missed the warmth that hugged me even if my expression didn’t improve even a little bit.
As Do-gyun, whose entire body was limp due to the rising sadness, radiated a melancholy look, Eun-seol, who was looking at him, sighed deeply and spoke in a low voice.
“I have no intention of taking him. If we go outside, we will move separately. Go out and sit in a cafe and read your favorite novel.”
Flinch.
Do-gyun’s body trembled at the words he handed over as if to comfort him.
His head turned slightly, and Do-gyun, who had a surprised expression on his face, asked a question to confirm again.
“Really?”
“…Yes.”
Thud. Thud.
My heart trembled.
“Do you really see it?”
“Look.”
The eyes looking at me were full of pitifulness, but he was not important.
It’s been a while, two weeks have passed since I put up with a novel, saying I was saving myself as much as possible.
The first day I went out with Eun-seol. It was the first permission to sponsor [Ghost Fleet’s 3rd class pilot] With 10,000 coins.
My mood draws an unprecedented upward curve. Then, the corners of the mouth rise out of control and rise upward.
‘Sex.’
Tomorrow is sex day.
