Chapter 41 – Thanks for Coming Last Night
‘…Lee Seo-ha.’
I muttered the name of the girl who had been thrown into the room.
Seoha Lee.
Originally, he was a man, but from the 4th episode, he showed up at the academy as a woman.
In many regressions that are no longer counted.
Even in the current episode, when I decided not to return anymore, it was a woman’s period.
Her making her head hurt.
And when will
Even though she loved herself passionately.
What’s twisted, from a certain moment, playing with me.
In the end, she betrayed me and impregnated me with unbreakable shackles, impoverishing her spirit.
And then in the previous episode.
In the end, Seo-ha Lee seems to make her resolve to never return again.
He broke the shackles of regression that had been linked to him saying that he had enjoyed it.
At that moment, in the dungeon where he died the last time he was a man in the third playthrough.
It reminded me of the woman who took her own life as if to show off.
For revenge.
The last appearance of Seoha Lee, who stole the key to break her shackles that he had prepared without her knowledge and used it on myself.
‘Our Joo Won should be happy now. It’s been fun.’
At that time, what kind of expression was she making as she cut her own throat?
Smile?
Or sadness?
It was worse than ever.
Repeating her return, abandoning her male self and accepting her female self.
The woman who had given all of herself, her woman, in return for the price of her constant return and her playfulness about the future.
When she went away from me on her own accord.
‘Hi.’
As if it’s the last.
He gritted his teeth as he recalled the voice that greeted her.
You can win in a head-to-head confrontation.
It was because of her special ability to deal with her dimension, things with her that she couldn’t win as a result came to mind.
Love.
And hate.
The two conflicting feelings she harbors towards her now.
I myself know best that her feelings for her are twisted.
In addition, now, to Lee Seo-ha, who really has no memory before her return, that it is not right for her to do such things.
But to me now, that doesn’t matter at all.
That you can’t die.
Even if she cuts her own throat, she will return to her past with this feeling.
That fact alone made me go mad.
Because she had to unleash this emotion inside her, even to innocent Lee Seo-ha.
The memory of Lee Seo-ha asking herself why she was like that came to mind.
What kind of expression was I making at that time?
Maybe you were laughing
It must have been because the reason why he did that was too stupid to even think about.
But I didn’t answer the question properly.
Simply, the same face as the woman in my memory.
She has the same body
Let’s say that because of that, it reminded me of what happened to Lee Seo-ha in the past episode.
She wouldn’t understand now, not being a regressor.
But from now on, that won’t matter.
Yi Seo-ha hates me right now.
Even though I endured her feelings in silence, I put the shackles around her neck and still use her as a toy.
“Kuk-kuk.”
Shed a laugh
Because I loved her
As much as she loved her, she hated her.
Teaching her classmate.
What a crazy idea.
But to me now, it doesn’t matter what kind of existence she is.
Because a regressor is such a being.
Because she remembers the things that happened in the past and is afraid of them, so she uses her hands in advance to change the present.
I’m still an idiot called a regressor.
Even though I commit bad things because of the incident that remains in my memory.
Still, I couldn’t stop.
I am anyway
I won’t be able to easily lay my hands on her before I can fully express my feelings for her.
More intense than the hateful memories.
Even because of her memories of her being happy with her.
I took out my phone and listened.
Is it tomorrow
After the first virtual underworld test, the time when that unreported underworld will be opened.
– Don’t come to my room this week.
I sent a message to Seoha Lee’s number in my memory and then turned around.
Before returning, Seoha Lee headed to accelerate her growth.
It was time to move to preoccupy that weapon.
*
At dawn, following the faint beam of light, I opened my eyes and raised my body.
Maybe it was after a bout of illness that put the events of yesterday evening to shame.
I felt that I was in a more comfortable condition than usual, so I slowly got up with a smile on my lips.
“Yes…”
After all, Awakeners recover quickly.
Originally, it was a body that would have to lie down for three days.
I smiled softly as I liked the current state that I had recovered quite cleanly after waking up from a night’s sleep.
Yesterday, I really don’t want to go through a dog-like state.
Looking at the recovery now, I instantly thought that it might be something that even an awakened person would do.
Unless it’s Kim Joo-won.
“Ah.”
If Kim Joo-won was a good guy like our Si-hoo, it would have been fine.
When I turned my gaze, there was a bowl of porridge on the table, probably bought by Yoon Si-hoo.
Did you get up early in the morning and go out for a while?
When I touched his hand, I was surprised at how much warmer it was than I thought, and picked up the post-it next to it.
– You didn’t eat anything yesterday. Make sure to eat and come out, okay?
He burst into laughter as he looked at the neat handwriting, even for a man.
I wonder if the guy who wakes up in the morning and buys porridge or comes back worrying about something is cute.
I know that Awoken people recover quickly because I am a writer who wrote novels.
Yoon Shi-hoo, who must not have been sick yet, seemed to have no idea about the resilience of an awakened person.
‘A cute guy.’
I heard the cutlery.
Normally I don’t eat breakfast.
But today, I wake up earlier than expected.
I thought it would be polite to try it since there must be sincerity of the person who served it.
‘It’s delicious.’
He smiled as he tasted the well-seasoned porridge.
How long has it been since you received someone’s sincere concern?
After all, a novel is definitely a novel.
I thought it was fortunate that it was unrealistic for him to worry about me so much because it had been a while since we met.
There are very few people like this in real life.
‘I’ve seen my body, I have to move on to this.’
I remembered that Sihoo Yoon, who must have come to my room last night, looked at my body and blushed at her.
Maybe because Kim Joo-won threw me into the room with only the leash and name tag removed.
Underwear, barefoot, and unorganized, hanging loosely.
It must have been natural since I was naked and covered with a blanket without a single thread on.
Even if there was a naked woman in front of him, Ji should have been careful.
Even though I knew he was the same man, it was a bit disgusting that he stood up looking at me.
It’s because you have the sincerity that you did.
‘What am I going to do if I go to the academy today?’
Of course, I had no intention of just going through it.
Remembering what I saw last night, I behave like a mugwort.
Or will you look at me and act like nothing?
When I think of his setup, it’s overwhelmingly the former.
Of course you shouldn’t find out that I’m a woman.
It’s hard to see him being misunderstood as gay, so you should be careful.
‘I have to wash the blanket.’
I pulled up the blanket that had been soaked with sweat all night and threw it away, went into the bathroom and briefly washed my sweaty body.
Maybe it’s because he didn’t pinch my nipples as tightly as he did back then?
Fortunately, there was no such thing as red swelling and sensitivity, so he dried his hair with a sigh of relief.
Originally, it would have been impossible to dry this long hair in the morning.
It was a luxury that was possible because I woke up earlier than expected.
“Hmm?”
Look in the mirror with a smile in such a good mood.
Even though he obviously tied his hair, dressed properly, and dressed up as a man.
She was surprised to see Lee Seo-ha, a woman in a boy’s school uniform, in the mirror, not a pretty man like a woman.
I didn’t know that I didn’t have much to laugh about during that time.
It’s hard to see Lee Seo-ha as a man with a sincere smile on her face…
It was so pretty.
‘I’ll have to be careful…’
Her expression hardened and she let out a small sigh of relief at her as she didnt look like her man.
She headed to the front door to leave the dormitory.
The moment I put on my shoes and opened the door.
“Uh?”
“What is it, Yoon Shi-hoo?”
I met eyes with Yoon Shi-hoo, who was standing in front of my dormitory door.
Did you come to me because you were worried about me since morning?
“It’s awake.”
“Uh, what.”
I have to come to the academy, but I might have thought that I wouldn’t be able to come out.
That’s understandable, because yesterday I was really sick.
“Are you leaving early?”
“Uh.”
“Come with me.”
She nodded at Yoon Shi-hoo’s question and closed the door.
Originally, I was the first to head to the classroom in an instant using dimensional transfer.
For today, I wanted to make a little bit of time to talk with him alone.
“Are you walking?”
“Huh.”
“It’s a waste. I want to benefit from that dimension’s abilities too.”
“Later when you get used to it.”
She started walking alongside him.
I also wanted to thank you for coming over last night.
I wanted to tell you that the porridge was delicious in the morning.
“You can go separately from your neck and body.”
“Ugh, I’ll decline that.”
As soon as I left the dormitory building, the bright sky came out and greeted Yoon Si-hoo.
Seeing the day when Yoon Shi-hoo was fine, she thought it was because she remembered me in her naked body while she was sick.
She took her eyes off me and was just looking straight ahead.
Looking at him like that, I laughed inwardly.
“It’s Sihoo.”
In a deliberately friendly voice.
Instead of calling him Sihoo Yoon as usual, he called him Shihuya.
“Thank you for coming last night.”
Then he said thanks.
