Chapter 89 – Change (9)
Widely. The door is closed. An enclosed room with no windows. Although it was spacious, it felt a little stuffy in midsummer. Following Chun Ha-yeon’s gesture, I sat down on the chair in front of me. The two of them met eyes at a round table.
“Did you ever call a place like this? Keeping it a secret from Mu Gong.”
Nod Chun Ha-yeon nodded heavily. For some reason, it looked like a woman.
“Is this serious?”
“…”
Chen Ha-yeon closed her eyes tightly.
Serious thing. Of course it’s serious.
Perhaps, after today, Midsummer may not want to see himself.
Perhaps, because of her own words, the relationship between Kim Moo-gong and Han Yeo-reum could be ruined.
Perhaps….
All kinds of anguish that had been swirling in her head since she was embraced by him swept through Cheon Ha-yeon’s mind.
However, at the end, the conclusion is always the same.
The long eyelashes lifted slowly.
Wooung- Chun Ha-yeon’s body aroused energy, and an air curtain surrounded the entire room. This made it impossible for any sound to escape.
Calmly.
Chen Ha-yeon’s lips moved slowly.
“—- –.”
I heard it, but I didn’t hear it.
Midsummer stared blankly at Cheon Ha-yeon.
Her heart fluttered Like a broken camera, the focus was distorted.
A feeling of being out of breath. It was a possibility she had never even considered.
“Lie.”
Denial.
Kim Moo-gong can’t do that.
Whispering that I love myself
Behind the scenes, calmly with Cheon Ha-yeon?
He couldn’t do that if he knew Mu Gong Kim.
However, can you guarantee that you know everything about Kim Mu-gong? There was a hint of doubt.
“It is not a lie.”
“…Kim Mu-gong can’t do that. If it’s the Kim Moo-gong I know.”
“What you think is right. He’s not like that It would never have happened in the first place.”
“Then why…?”
Looking at Cheon Ha-yeon, who continued to speak indifferently, midsummer gradually became annoyed. I don’t even know what the purpose of doing this is. Let’s pretend the two slept.
Why did you say that to yourself?
Calling them separately to such a secret space, they even hit the curtain to block out the sound.
The accident went awry
It’s an incomprehensible mess.
Midsummer glared at the sky kite with her cold burning eyes. She smiled bitterly at Cheon Ha-yeon.
“It is my fault. It was to take advantage of his time limit.”
Time limit.
Only one word stuck in Midsummer’s ear.
“Time limit. Explain what you mean, straight up, properly.”
“Literally. His unique martial arts puts severe overload on his body. In addition, while holding the Hwamajeong on an uninhabited island, her body, which was originally dangerous, reached its limit. It’s like a ticking time bomb. The longest is 5 years, the shortest is 1 year. They said maybe it could be shorter.”
“…I said there was nothing wrong.”
“If you knew Mu-gong Kim, would he have informed you that he was terminally ill? Not to anyone else, to you?”
Midsummer bit her lips. I could feel the fishy smell of blood.
He is the Kim Mu Gong he knows.
…I would never have told you.
For him, midsummer is always.
Because it was the same as the first time I saw it.
It’s gotten a little better since I came to this world, but it’s only ‘improved’.
He was always the same I tried to handle the unreasonable work alone.
“How did you think?”
“…I felt something strange and scared the demon. It’s something you shouldn’t be doing.”
Even in midsummer, I felt strange for a moment. After being examined by Shin-ui, did you dare to go to Ma?
Now the puzzles are starting to fit together.
“Okay. Hit everything good. But tell me What does being a terminally ill woman have to do with sex? Will the terminally ill disappear if they have sex?”
“In order to resolve his time limit, it was necessary to reach Hwagyeong and metamorphosis. The biggest problem was that the body couldn’t stand it, so the only answer was to correct the balance and increase the endurance of the body through metamorphosis. So is the magic.”
“Hwagyeong…?”
Even in midsummer, I knew how lofty the scenery was. The fact that Kim Moo-gong, who has just been possessed, and himself are far too far to reach.
“Okay. I had to raise the level by force. Since the martial arts he and I learned have the characteristics of resonating with each other, we decided that if we had a bed, both would rise quickly. So, I seduced him. For my martial arts. He has no guilt.”
“I’m not trying to find fault with you. Just. Just….”
My breath went up to the tip of my chin. At first glance, Cheon Ha-yeon seemed to be speaking honestly. Due to the nature of martial arts madmen, if there was a means to quickly raise the level, it would have been implemented.
“I seduced him when he refused and forcibly held him. He seduced him with cunning words like snakes…”
“Stop. It’s an excuse. Did it work?”
“…After going to bed, he immediately reached the stage of getting drunk with three flowers. He crossed the wall of transcendence in one sleep. Judgment was right. However…”
Midsummer quietly looked into her eyes. She saw the slightest trembling eyes. Once again, Midsummer uttered the same words.
“Lie.”
“It is an undeniable fact that he reached his peak after going to bed. They resonated deeply with each other’s unique qualities, and they raised my level and his level at once.”
Slowly shaking her head, Midsummer opened her mouth. She must be called a woman’s intuition. Midsummer was certain. Cheon Ha-yeon clearly lied.
“That’s not what I said was a lie.”
“…?”
“Seriously, did you hold me for martial arts? Without any remorse? Can you swear?”
Cheon Ha-yeon sighed inwardly. The words of midsummer flew like daggers and stuck into her heart.
“…Okay. Without any remorse. I seduced him for my martial arts.”
“Lie.”
“No, the truth…”
“No, you love Kim Moo-gong. With reason.”
In an instant, Chen Ha-yeon felt her throat choke. Her words didn’t come out well.
“Look, your expression right now. They are the same. Without caring about what others think. I’d rather be a bad bitch It’s better for me to be resentful. Then he’ll be the victim of the bad bitch. You must be thinking like this. Nope?”
As fierce as it may seem, Midsummer is sometimes surprisingly sharp. Chen Ha-yeon closed her eyes tightly. She couldn’t hide it any longer.
“…You are right.”
Midsummer let out a deep sigh.
“Done. Let’s finish our conversation later.”
Before leaving her seat, get up and walk out the door.
“…Thank you for letting me know.”
Grabbing her doorknob, Midsummer bit her lips.
Kung- And then, without hesitation, he left.
Chun Ha-yeon, who had been absent-mindedly in place for a long time.
With a slightly relieved expression, he raised his head.

After being guided, I arrived at Ryu Eun-chae’s office. Ryu Eun-chae, who was frantically reviewing the documents, calmly stood up and embraced them. Her demeanor was normal, but a thick layer of fatigue sat on her face.
“Welcome, Gongja.”
“You look very busy.”
“No. Do you want coffee?”
“Good.”
Ryu Eun-chae served hot coffee. She could have had a person do it, but only when she did this, she always tried to do it herself. She took a sip of coffee, and she sat down on the sofa.
“Reports on the Red Dragon Corps…”
“Done. I saw you training earlier. As long as she applied for the preliminaries properly, it was okay.”
“I verified that myself.”
“What does the Protestant Church say?”
“There was talk about it anyway. Since Young master, Priestess, and the Jeokryongdae are participating, the Protestant Church said they would not apply separately.”
“Any other people?”
“Yes. Protestants are always short of manpower. Ordinary people can be hired with money, but the number of unmanned soldiers is always insufficient.”
It’s great in terms of being able to hire even with money.
Well, in order to put the name of Protestantism on the godless festival and send it out, it would have to be at least the pinnacle among the late exponents.
It wasn’t that many if you were looking for someone who was easygoing.
“It’s a political faction area, isn’t there anything difficult? It’s a secret branch, I think I know everything about this. Or openly checks come in.”
“It’s calm so far. Rather, as if someone had put a bluff, the number of people coming and going around has decreased.”
“I’m glad. Let me know if you have any problems. You should stab the master right away.”
“…I think Gongja is the only one who regards the head teacher as a complaint center.”
“My master was unexpectedly generous, wasn’t he?”
“Because you are Young master, you are generous. Working at Honghwagak for many years, I have never seen such an image of the headmaster.”
“Is it?”
When I heard it, it seemed that way too.
Even for me, the master was a difficult person to follow.
I don’t get caught up in personal affection, I say it like a habit, but if you look at what you actually do, it’s the exact opposite.
Who did it before?
The more people who keep saying that they are not interested in something, the more they are crazy about it.
It occurred to me that Master could do something like that.
[Are you a secret branch?]
Suddenly, a chat came from Midsummer.
[Uh. It’s still here.]
[…Stay there.]
[Yes?]
[I’m going there, so don’t go anywhere and stay still.]
[What is it?]
[I’ll go and tell you.]
[Okay.]
I tilted my head and closed the chat.
“Tell people that midsummer is coming.”
“You mean the priestess?”
“Uh. He said he’s coming all of a sudden?”
“All right. Let me talk.”
“Is it okay if I wait here?”
“Yes. Then, can I go to work?”
“Uh. Don’t mind me and do your thing.”
I sat comfortably on the sofa and sipped my coffee. Seeing Ryu Eun-chae at work, she seemed like a beautiful career woman, and a strange impression arose.
Boom-
Had I waited for about 30 minutes?
A roar was heard outside. Ryu Eun-chae hurriedly checked her contact.
“What’s up?”
“…The priestess has arrived. That’s just the sound of landing in the air…”
“Why did he come in such a hurry?”
“I told you to go this way for now.”
“Please.”
Jump-
Not long after, the door to the office was slammed open.
“Mugong Kim.”
A cold voice came to my ears.
The scattered hair and the distorted expression came closer.
Han Yeo-reum looked at Ryu Eun-chae and opened her mouth.
“Chief Ryu Eun-chae, could you leave for a while?”
Ryu Eun-chae, who took turns taking a look at midsummer with me, politely bowed her head and went outside.
Kung- Looking at the tightly closed door, I spoke up.
“What is it?”
“…I heard.”
A miserable smile appeared on Midsummer’s lips.
Rattle. Something sat down in her chest.
It’s hard to make eye contact.
I turned my head and smiled bitterly.
“From where, to where?”
“Time limit. Cheon Ha-yeon.”
…The answer was, that was enough.
