{IF Side Story: Change in Relationships}
‘Now he is unable to accept his status as an incompetent person and is denying reality.’
His specialty was denying reality whenever something happened against him.
And Seo Moon-hyeon, whose magic power was sealed by me, was struggling alone in his delusions even though he was not completely incapacitated.
‘It’s better to be a little more rude.’
Because of what Seo Moon-hyeon did, Min-hye Seo has completely lost her affection for him. I felt sincere contempt for her, especially when she tried to kill me, her own older brother.
But even so, if Seo Mun-hyeon was just killed now, Seo Mun-min-hye would still have something to worry about.
‘I’ll make them think it’s cheaper than dying.’
I didn’t really need to do anything. It’s just that Seo Moon-hyun will show all kinds of obscene behavior and struggles to make the viewers sick of it.
* * *
For Seo Moon-hyeon, every day of the past year has been like hell.
He couldn’t bear the fact that Seomun Cheon, and not himself, was receiving praise from the world.
“That guy is not a hero… I’m the hero… That guy is just a villain who needs to be killed…”
Seo Mun-hyeon, who was muttering in his room, recently investigated in detail what Seo Mun-cheon was doing.
The research he did was limited to listening to rumors around him and doing searches on the Internet.
And he recently felt that Seomun-cheon was especially attracted to a girl named Isena.
‘Isena.’
A girl of the same age as him, with beige hair and light brown eyes. Seo Mun-hyeon felt shocked when he saw her.
Isena is still young, but like her preface, Minhye, she is already showing the potential of her beauty. Seo Mun-hyeon imagined that she would have become her childhood friend if she hadn’t had her magical powers sealed away by Seo Mun-cheon.
It was actually a possibility, but the problem was that Seo Moon-hyeon’s way of thinking became extreme.
‘Yes, Isena is actually my childhood friend.’
Her thoughts about Isena changed like this at will.
If it weren’t for her preface, her thoughts that Isena would have been her childhood friend had suddenly changed to the delusion that Isena was her childhood friend.
In his opinion, it was impossible for a woman like Isena to hang out with a villain like Seo Mun-cheon. She had to be her own childhood friend, to whom she had to devote herself.
‘Sena. ‘How can you do that when we are childhood friends?’
Therefore, Seo Wen-hyeon thought that Isena had betrayed her by hanging out with her Seo Wen-cheon now.
She thought that she had fallen victim to Seo Mun-cheon’s plot and that things had become difficult for a moment, so her childhood friend betrayed her and stuck with her Seo Mun-cheon.
She deliberately didn’t even think about when she and Isena first met. Naturally, her first meeting with her was at the invitation of Seo Wen-Cheon, and when she came to the mansion of the Seo Wen-cheon family, he saw her next to him.
‘It can’t go on like this.’
Seo Moon-hyeon felt a sense of duty that he could not allow Isena to do her wrong things like this.
Her younger sister, Seomun Min-hye, betrayed her only brother, herself, and became attached to a villain named Seomun-cheon. Even Isena, her childhood friend, couldn’t let her go down that path.
It would help her get on the right path.
That was her mission, the hero of her heroes.
* * *
Isena didn’t really like the West Gate family itself.
It’s difficult to explain in words, but the atmosphere in the Seomun family was never good.
The relationship between Seomun Kang-hyeok and Seomun-cheon seemed like a cold transactional relationship rather than a father-son relationship, and both Seomun-cheon and Seomun Min-hye were openly showing that they did not like the Seomun family.
It is said that most of the warriors of the Seomun family were newly selected, and the way they looked at Seomuncheon was filled with fear as well as respect.
She already knew the reason.
‘Did you say that Oppa Cheon was ignored a lot because he woke up late?’
Isena also knew about what happened to Seomuncheon in the past from the Seomun family. This was because she told Seomun Cheon and Seomun Minhye everything as if it was nothing to hide.
Seomun Cheon said she had already given her punishment and she didn’t seem to care anymore, but Seomun Minhye still got angry every time she mentioned the incident.
Although the unfair treatment suffered by Seo Mun-cheon was already over, Sena Lee was also very angry.
In particular, after hearing the fact that her Seo Mun-hyeon even tried to kill his own brother, and her self-justification and delusional nature in her favor, I thought that Isena was truly terrible.
The Seomun family only came to visit because Seomun-cheon and Seomun Min-hye were there, and it was a family that they wouldn’t want to be associated with without the two of them.
‘This is too much… ‘
And as Isena looked at her elixir now in her own arms, she felt burdened. Her elixir in the form of Hwandan, which her preface Cheon had given her as a gift, would greatly increase her magical power just by taking it.
She was Isena, who had healer-type abilities rather than combat-type abilities, but as she was also an awakener of her magic, it was clear that if she took this elixir, her power as a healer would increase significantly at once.
“Sister, are you feeling burdened?”
She asked as Seomun Minhye, who was walking next to her, smiled.
“Yeah, honestly, it’s a bit like that…”
“You don’t have to feel burdened~ You were like that too, right? It may be a burden to you, but it’s a common item to you. He has billions of elixirs like this.”
Isena also knew that the West Gate Cloth was full of her elixir. But even so, it was true that it was a burden to her.
Her family was an ordinary middle-class family, not a large family like the Seomun family. Moreover, her parents divorced and both disappeared for a long time, so she had to grow up under her grandmother.
For her, it was a fortunate situation to see that it was her elixir.
“Her sister’s dream is to become an excellent healer so she can heal more people, right?”
“That’s right.”
Although she was still young, Isena dreamed that one day, when she grew up, she would become an excellent healer and heal the injured and sick with her powers.
She had already confided in Seo Moon-cheon and Seo Moon Min-hye that her dream was to become a healer who could heal more people, but she was not hoping for their support.
She just wanted the two people who mattered most to her to know about her dream.
“Then don’t worry too much about the elixir. My sister is talented, and she will be able to do it later when she becomes someone much more valuable than these elixirs.”
“Yes, okay. I will definitely become that person!”
Se-na Lee felt like the burden on her was lessened after Min-hye said this. Instead, a deep sense of duty rose in her heart.
‘I will definitely become someone who is helpful to Brother Cheon.’
She was determined to be by Seomun Cheon’s side and become someone who would help him. She didn’t think he would get hurt, but she wanted to help him at least in some way.
As she made that promise, she heard an unfamiliar voice.
“Sena, it’s been a while.”
Isena, her preface Minhye’s expression turned cold at the sound of the unfamiliar boy’s voice calling her.
“Sister, let’s ignore it and let’s go.”
Seomun Minhye said while holding Isena’s hand. Isena also nodded because she guessed the identity of the boy who called her.
“Yes, Minhye.”
However, Seo Moon-hyeon, the owner of the voice, did not seem to have any intention of letting them go.
“Stop! Minhye, Sena!”
I saw Seo Mun-hyeon running. However, with his magic power sealed, even if he ran, his running was only at the level of an ordinary 13-year-old boy.
Seomun Min-hye used her magic power containing the wind attribute to create a wall of wind to prevent Seomun-hyeon from approaching, and thanks to this, Seomun-hyeon was able to pound on the wall of wind without being able to get any closer.
“Wait! Minhye, Sena! Sena! How could you do this to me!”
Isena was amazed at her. She had rarely seen Seo Mun-hyeon, and she had never talked to him.
She was told that she wanted to harm Seomun-cheon, and she did not want to become friends with Seomun-hyeon at all.
But why on earth does that kid talk as if he knows him?
“Sister, ignore me. Even if I deal with it, I’m just tired.”
“Yes, I will.”
Isena decided not to think deeply about Seomunhyeon. But the words she heard behind her startled her.
“To me, your best friend! How could you betray a friend you’ve been with for so long like this? How, how could you do that! Sena, wake up! Don’t hang out with a villain like Seo Moon-cheon, come back to me as my friend!”
Isena couldn’t understand why she was spouting such nonsense about how she knew him before. However, Seo Moon-hyeon was screaming with emotion as if she was sincere.
