Chapter 1175 – 1175. Hero Military Academy (7)
Cho Yeon-ho said clearly.
He says he only has one daughter and no other children…
But for Cho Yeon-ho’s daughter, Cho Seo-hyeon…
“You know, Kanghyun is a member of the cult. Working in a big place… “It looks like you’re very busy.”
“…”
There was a younger brother.
Due to a situation that did not fit at all, I once again became distracted by something other than Cho Seohyun.
But the spirit that briefly strayed…
‘… Let’s think about that later.’
I was able to return thanks to the sight of Cho Seo-hyun looking at the graveyard with a sad expression.
It is not too late to find out about Cho Kang-hyeon after taking care of Cho Seo-hyun.
Cho Seohyun is in a more difficult situation than anyone else right now.
Even though her younger brother is there, Cho Seohyun visits her father’s grave alone on the anniversary of his death.
And now I am the only one who can comfort Cho Seo-hyun’s heart.
I placed my hand on Cho Seohyun’s shoulder as she looked at her grave with a sad expression, clearly realizing my position.
“I’ll tell you something when we meet later.”
“Fuha!”
Cho Seohyun laughed out loud, and she barely managed to calm her voice before answering.
“Just in case, don’t do it. I know it’s a joke, but… “I’m worried that they would really do it.”
Cho Seo-hyun also knows this well.
The fact that I said this as a joke.
But even though he knew it was a joke, he was worried that I might do something really unexpected.
I laughed back at Cho Seo-hyun’s concerns.
“They tell me not to do it, so I want to do it more.”
“… Look down at your face. “I wanted to take a closer look.”
Haha… “I don’t think you’ll just watch, right?”
“I told you to come down!”
“Hundreds of millions!?”
Cho Seohyun shouted that and clung to me.
With Cho Seohyun’s physical ability, jumping up to the height of my face is no problem.
No, if you do your best, you will be able to jump about 30 to 40 meters.
Nevertheless, Cho Seohyun did not demonstrate such physical ability, but jumped up to the point where she could only hang on his shoulder…
“Anyway, this mouth is the problem!”
“Aaaaah!”
He started pinching my cheek mercilessly.
I pinched Cho Seohyun’s cheek and smiled…
“Kwaaagh! Oh, it hurts! It really hurts!”
I couldn’t laugh and really screamed.
It hurts, it hurts too much.
Despite my screams, Seohyun did not reduce her strength, but rather increased it to the side.
“It’s natural because they’re pinching you because it hurts!”
“Ahh!”
So Seohyun Cho clung to my body and pinched my cheek for about 5 minutes…
“Ha… I’m feeling a bit better…”
She relaxed her hand that was pinching my cheek.
However, he only relaxed his hands, not his arms.
She whispered, stroking my cheek with her hand, which had pinched my cheek while she was on her back.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m paralyzed and can’t tell if I’m okay or not?”
“Joy… Is it the same for me too? Since I didn’t hear back from him right after vacation, I have to figure out if he’s dating me or if he’s dumped me…”
“Ah…”
The reason Cho Seohyun pinched my cheek wasn’t just to vent her anger a little while ago.
It also contained anger over my recent lack of contact.
I lifted Cho Seohyun, who was on my back, and hugged her in my arms.
“What is it? Suddenly?”
Cho Seohyun, who was on her back, blushed and was busy avoiding my gaze when I suddenly hugged her from the front and faced her with the same gaze.
As I admired Seohyun’s bright red face…
“You said earlier that you couldn’t figure it out, right? So, I want to help you get a sense of it again.”
“What is that… Chuuuuup!?”
I held her Cho Seohyun in her arms and shared a kiss with her.
Cho Seo-hyun showed strong resistance at first, but…
“Chuuuuu…”
After tasting my lips, tongue, and body fluids, he started hugging me more actively, as if he was addicted.
So, Cho Seo-hyun and I kissed in front of Cho Yeon-ho’s grave for over 10 minutes.
.
.
After kissing for a while, Cho Seo-hyun and I were brought to our senses by a person who happened to be passing by, and we proceeded to pay our respects to the grave.
The time taken for the grave was not long.
I spoke to her carefully as I left the Heroes’ National Cemetery with her Cho Seohyun.
“If it’s because of me, it’s okay if you stay longer.”
But after hearing what I said, Cho Seohyun shook her head and answered.
“Before, all I did was come alone, leave flowers and talk for 10 to 20 minutes.”
In the first place, it was said that the funerals held in the past were not that long.
And through Cho Seo-hyun’s answer, I was able to unintentionally learn another fact.
‘Super Ganghyeon… What on earth is that bastard doing?’
It was true that every year Cho Seohyun came to the grave alone.
I thought she was close to Cho Seo-hyun because she was distant from her fiancee, Seong Su-ah, but after spending time with Cho Seo-hyun, she found out how wrong that thought was.
Rather, what I found out as I dug deeper was that not only Seong Su-ah but also Cho Seo-hyun was a victim.
And…
‘… ‘Aren’t you my brother?’
The more I delve into Cho Kang-hyeon, the more she makes the information useless to the point that all efforts to find it are worthless.
‘Wow, it’s complicated, it’s complicated…’ .’
It felt like her mind was twisted into a mess.
The problem with Cho Kang-hyeon, the problem with Yeriel, the problem with Cho Yeon-ho, and even the problem with Cho Seo-hyeon…
Incidents that could have taken several days were happening in a matter of hours.
And at the center of that chain of events…
“Now that I think about it, you haven’t heard the answer since a while ago? No way… “Is there anyone you know buried here?”
There was Cho Seo-hyun.
I gave up my thoughts for now and answered Cho Seohyun’s question.
“No. “Someone I know told me to go here, so I went.”
I answered honestly.
Regardless of whether Yeri El knew my identity or not, she didn’t want to tell a strange lie to Seohyun Cho.
As soon as Cho Seohyun heard me, she frowned cutely and started muttering to herself.
“Ah… Could it be that that person… That’s right. There are not many people buried here…”
“You mean that human?”
“Oh, no. “I’m just talking to myself, talking to myself.”
“…”
It was only after seeing Cho Seo-hyun’s embarrassed expression that I was able to intuit the identity of ‘that person’ that Cho Seo-hyun was talking about.
‘Do you know Yeriel?’
Yeriel said clearly.
She probably knows someone, so tell her hello to me…
Therefore, she initially expected Seong Soo-ah to be there, but contrary to expectations, it was Cho Seohyun who appeared at the cemetery.
Yeriel and Cho Yeon-ho… And even Cho Seo-hyun…
‘Ac… It’s complicated.’
There certainly seemed to be a connection, but since there were no hints, I couldn’t figure out how the human relationships were connected.
First, I asked Cho Seohyun.
“Did you know Yeriel?”
“I know very well.”
As soon as Cho Seohyun heard Yeri El’s name, her grumbles started pouring out like ready-mix concrete.
“Every time we meet, we make fun of my height…”
“…”
It seems that Yeriel played with Cho Seo-hyeon’s body every time they met.
The problem was that Cho Seo-hyun could not easily respond to Yeriel’s pranks.
It wasn’t because she was older.
“She said she was smaller…”
“…”
It was because she couldn’t fight back when someone smaller than her made fun of her.
‘… First, it looks like she knows Yeri El well. But the important thing is Cho Yeon-ho…’
After listening to Cho Seo-hyun’s complaints for a while, I asked another question to change the direction of the atmosphere.
“That… What was the relationship between Yeri El and her father?”
“I heard that in the past, when you were raiding a dungeon, you sometimes came face to face with her.”
Unfortunately, that was all the information Cho Seo-hyun knew.
“I said we weren’t that close. “I had no choice but to find out because the number of top-tier heroes is so small.”
“And… “Was your father a top-tier hero?”
Considering Cho Yeon-ho’s skills experienced so far, it was not strange to say that he was a top-tier hero.
Cho Seohyun smiled and spread her shoulders wide as if she had just heard a compliment.
“Yes, he was a top-tier hero. However, he belongs to the government, not the guild, so I don’t know exactly what he did.”
There were concerns that he may have died dishonorably because his name was not put on the grave.
But fortunately, it wasn’t until I heard Cho Seo-hyun’s words that I realized that I was worrying needlessly.
“Yeriel said that even though the church and the tower offered scouting several times, he refused. He said he only cared about saving the world…”
“Ah…”
“But he said he had many enemies because of his sense of justice. That’s why he didn’t even leave his name on the tombstone.”
The reason why all records of Cho Yeon-ho disappeared.
Only now I was able to guess the reason.
‘I guess I really wasn’t greedy.’
I understood that there was no greed for power.
Yes, furthermore, I understand to some extent that there is no greed for money.
However, the fact that there was no greed for fame was shocking.
Perhaps the reason his records are not available is not because the government recklessly tried to hide him, but because it supported his legacy.
If the government had tried to hide his record out of selfishness, he would have become more famous, receiving backlash from top heroes.
I nodded my head in agreement, looking at Cho Seo-hyun’s expression filled with respect.
“You were a true hero.”
Cho Yeon-ho was a hero who sacrificed himself with only a sense of duty to save the world.
“Hehe, you say the same thing as Yeriel.”
After hearing what I said, Seohyun spread her shoulders wide and smiled…
[I thought he was that kind of person.]
‘…’
Instead, it touched Armonia’s heart.
Fortunately, Armonia did not pour out any more complaints after saying just one word.
Probably because that one word was enough.
Without realizing it, I caught Armonia’s attention, and to divert my attention, I focused on Cho Seo-hyun.
Cho Seo-hyun and I met by chance at Heroes National Cemetery and started enjoying an unscheduled date.
I had lunch near the national cemetery and spent time taking a walk near the national cemetery.
Maybe it was because it had been a while since I spent time with Cho Seo-hyun, but even though it was a casual date, the hours passed as quickly as minutes.
After hours that felt like minutes, the sun set…
“… “I had fun today.”
Cho Seo-hyun naturally said something that would have been said during a breakup.
But I could already see her Cho Seohyun’s expression and realize that her feelings were different from her words.
I held Seohyun’s hand tightly as she tried to distance herself from me and opened her mouth.
“Can we stay together a little longer and then go?”
“… “It’s night now?”
Seohyun gave a justification for refusal with her mouth, but in reality, she was asking him to hold her with a big smile on her face.
I put into her mouth the justification that I would hold Seohyun the way she wanted.
“Do you want to see the night view over there?”
“… ?”
Super Seohyun turned her head in the direction I pointed.
Cho Seohyun looked in the direction I pointed, and she looked blankly. She gradually turned a darker shade of blush…
“What… If you ask to go, there’s nothing you can’t do…”
“Haha, let’s go.”
“… “Good.”
Just like that, Cho Seohyun and I entered the hotel so high that her neck broke.
When we entered the hotel, Cho Seo-hyun and I had completely different attitudes.
While I, who usually stopped by the hotel as if I were going to my own home, walked calmly through the lobby.
Cho Seohyun, who had never been to a hotel with a man before, was holding my hand tightly and looking around her.
I immediately went to the front desk and proceeded with the check-in process.
“The cost of a double room in a suite is…”
Cho Seohyun, who was confused because she was not used to this kind of situation, hurriedly took out her card when the story about her expenses came up…
“I will pay. “Wha!?”
“You bought me food earlier. “I will pay for this.”
I blocked Cho Seo-hyun’s hand using quick movements and paid for check-in using my smartwatch.
Cho Seohyun seemed to be dissatisfied with my behavior and poked my side. I passed her dissatisfaction off with a smile and followed the hotelier to her room.
I was guided to the room, and as soon as the hotelier left…
“Chuuuuup!?”
He hugged Seohyun and immediately started kissing her.
As I was kissing Cho Seohyun, I heard Armonia’s voice.
[As you know, there is a lot to take care of right now.]
As Armonia said, there was a mountain of problems that I had to solve.
Yeriel, Cho Kang-hyeon, Cho Yeon-ho…
‘Don’t worry. Because it’s not fun.’
But the most important thing, no matter what anyone said, was Cho Seohyun.
The woman standing at the center of those three.
I hold all the keys…
‘If you want to go into a dream, you have to put it to sleep first. I need to lose some stamina, so I can sleep well.’
I’m planning to check out Cho Seohyun’s dream.
