Chapter 386 – 11 PM, Night Walk (3)
It’s been a week since I went out for a walk at night.
In the meantime, Eun-yul’s condition improved rapidly. As she expected, it was thanks to her skills her, including her ‘reassurance hand’ her, that she was her her magic potion her. Mental and psychological stabilization, which should normally have been achieved over several years, proceeded at an abnormal pace.
[Master, it’s 11 o’clock soon.]
11pm is the time to go out for a night walk with Eunyul.
“Already? I must prepare.”
Seo Ju-hwan saved the file he was working on. He just finished a paragraph. I was about to close the Hangul file and the Internet window, but an e-mail caught my eye.
“Five?”
Seo Ju-hwan was delighted and opened her mail. The content of the e-mail was the news of the winning of the literary contest entered last April.
〈 Classification: Subject / Author Name: Seo Ae-pil / Title: Intermediary of Communication 〉
[Congratulations, Master!]
Lucy, who checked the mail together, spoke excitedly. The author’s name, Seo Ae-pil, was a pen name derived from the names of his mother Seo Ae-ra and her father Seo Jae-pil.
“Thanks for the congratulations, Lucy.”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and nodded. Although he had secretly expected to win the grand prize, he was genuinely delighted when the results showed up.
[It’s worth the hard work.]
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say that this is thanks to hard work.”
Seo Ju-hwan scratched the corners of his eyes in embarrassment.
As Lucy said, I did my best. In fact, he has been faithfully writing after returning. He not only did writing activities, but also took time aside to study until dawn.
‘Although that was possible thanks to the system.’
He was living a longer day than normal people thanks to the abilities and items supported by the system. Sleeping for 3-4 hours was enough, so I was awake for more than 20 hours, and I used that time sparingly.
He goes to exercise every morning, teaches himself to paint, writes, learns to dance, and reads all kinds of literature. Several times he even read his encyclopedia completely to increase his vocabulary. In the meantime, he did n’t want to neglect his people, so he used his strength to continue the relationship.
A tight schedule that the average person can’t handle. It was to the point where even a few bodies were not enough.
But Seo Joo-hwan, in particular, did not think that he was putting in a lot of effort. Rather, I felt more strongly that this was not something I should be doing.
‘There’s a system, but if you don’t do this much, that’s an idiot.’
With only tens of thousands of points, he can surpass the level that ordinary people can reach after a lifetime of hard work. Of course, even if you increase the level of your talent, you need to study and experience in that field in order to use it ‘properly’, but even that is embarrassing compared to the efforts of others. If you equate it, maybe it’s shameless. No matter how hard he is living his day, the reward in return is much greater than the effort he is putting in.
[Master, I can’t deny that, but there’s no need to disparage the efforts you’ve made. Moreover, if you don’t know anything else, ‘writing’ is what you’ve been doing since before the regression, right?]
Lucy read Seo Ju-hwan’s thoughts and spoke with a worried expression. He said that denigrating oneself was as bad as being conceited.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled slightly at Lucy’s words to her. She knew what she was worried about.
“I can’t speak in that voice. I don’t really feel guilty now.”
[Is that so?]
“Yes. It’s funny how you’ve been using it well until now.”
It may be a bit shameless, but the desire system is a fair reward for living as a hero at the cost of this one body. Even if it’s a past life that I don’t even remember.
The same goes for regression. I received it as compensation for the damage I had for living an unhappy life that was not originally mine. Because of that misfortune, Seo Joo-hwan lived with various mental illnesses and terrible trauma.
“It’s just that I don’t have any intention of wrapping it up as something that only came about through my own efforts. That’s too shameless.”
Should I admit it or not? It’s true that you get bigger results with less effort than others. Instead, he intends to live even harder. Don’t be ashamed of someone who really worked hard and sweat.
‘I’ll have to make a sponsorship foundation or something someday.’
There are countless people in the world who cannot blossom their talents due to various reasons. It may be just self-consolation, but I thought I could be a little more confident if I supported and helped those people.
[The foundation you talked about with Lee Seok-chan sometime. Nobel Dice was also from then, right?]
“Yes. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
That was when the story came to an end.
Gying!
The smartphone range. The sender that appeared on the screen was ‘Eunyul’.
[Oh, Master! It’s past 11 o’clock!]
“Ugh. I forgot.”
Seo Joo-hwan hurriedly got up from his seat while answering the phone. A muffled voice came over the phone.
– Um, uh, oh, I’m not going for a walk today… ?
“Sorry, I’ll be there soon!”
*
Eunyul looked at her watch with excitement.
‘There are 10 minutes left.’
11 p.M. Is the time to go for a walk with Seo Ju-hwan. Always at this time, Seo Joo-hwan would come to her house and take her out of her.
‘I hope they come soon.’
Only 10 minutes felt too long.
It was a week ago that Eun-yul went for a walk with Seo Joo-hwan for the first time. After that day, 11:00 became the most awaited time of the day for Eunyul. More than the time when the next part of ‘Eun Ah Healing’, which I love so much, is uploaded.
Eun-yul, who had been spending time with excitement and anticipation, became more and more nervous. It was because Seo Joo-hwan did not come even after 11 o’clock.
“Aren’t you going for a walk today… ? ?”
Seo Joo-hwan, who always came before 11:00, doesn’t come. I’ve never been like this…….
Eun-yul fiddled with her phone with a nervous expression. Due to Seo Joo-hwan’s personality his, if he did n’t go for a walk, he would have contacted me, but there was no contact.
‘Did I forget? Should I contact you first?’
With that thought in mind, even after making several calls, he hesitated. It was because he had a bad idea.
‘What if I’m bothered? If you’re too busy to contact me… If I called for nothing, I’d be in the way…….’
I didn’t want to disturb him at all. And it’s only been 5 minutes. Might be a bit late, isn’t it? If there are days that come early, there are days that come late. I didn’t want to appear as if I was rushing.
Even as Eun-yul calmed herself down and waited, she came up with a different idea.
‘What if I just forgot? Wouldn’t it be better to call then? If you really don’t come… Then you’ll never see your face today…….’
The thought made him feel sad.
You said you never saw your face today? It’s not enough just to hear your voice. I couldn’t even hold your hand I want to walk with you If you can’t see it today, you’ll have to wait until 11:00 tomorrow. 24 hours is too long.
‘Let’s call again!’
When I put my hand on the number with that thought in mind, the previous thought came to my mind again.
‘I didn’t come because I was bothered, but if you call… Wouldn’t you think that I’m a child who doesn’t notice… ?’
Different thoughts changed several times every moment.
5 minutes to do that again.
Eun-yul was restless and finally called. It was because of the thought that at this rate, I would have to go to sleep without seeing Seo Joo-hwan’s face today. He could hardly go to bed. He was not confident.
– Sorry, I’ll be there soon!
Those were the words of Seo Joo-hwan who answered the phone. Fortunately, he just forgot. The worst that was expected did not happen.
“Oh no! I’m sorry for rushing you.”
– No, I’m sorry. I’ll go soon.
“No, I’m sorry… Oh, I hung up.”
Eun-yul looked at the cell phone that had lost contact with a sad face. Then he burst into laughter.
“It was nice to call you.”
He almost ended the day without even seeing him. If that had happened, he would probably have stayed up all night without a wink of sleep.
“I want to see it soon.”
It won’t be long before he comes. He’s never been, but he said his house his is a 10-minute walk.
But to Eun-yul, even those 10 minutes felt like a very long time. He was the one I always saw at 11:00, but it was already 11:15. He was delayed by a whopping 15 minutes.
That was when I thought about it. Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
Eunyul murmured as she drew in her breath.
“Then what about the walk time… ?”
Originally, we would walk along Anyangcheon until 12:00 and return.
Today, time is delayed, so I wonder if I am walking that much longer? Or does the walk end at 12 o’clock as usual?
What if it’s the latter? I already felt regret.
‘… Should I leave early?’
I want to stay with you even a little longer. In order to do that, it would be better to leave early rather than waiting at home.
After thinking for a moment, Eunyul stood up. The preparations have already been completed. I know roughly the direction he’s coming from. She turned her doorknob with her trembling hand.
*
Seo Joo-hwan, who was heading to Eun-yul’s house, suddenly opened his eyes wide. It was because Eun-yul was seen before he had even arrived. He was walking with his head down, but it was definitely Eun-yul.
“Yula?”
I could not believe I could see it with her eyes her, so I called her her name her, and the woman walking opposite her raised her head in amazement.
“Oh, brother!”
Eunyul found him and quickly approached and stood in front of him.
Seo Ju-hwan asked with a surprised face.
“Why did you come all the way here by yourself? I’m leaving soon.”
“…….”
Eun-yul couldn’t bear to answer, ‘I want to see you as soon as possible’.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at her silently and said with a smile.
“It has improved a lot. I know you’ll come out alone.”
“… Thanks to my brother.”
Eun-yul said so sincerely. Indeed, going out alone for the first time in a long time was not as scary as I thought. It was because the desire to meet him sooner than the fear.
“Then shall we go?”
Saying that, Seo Ju-hwan stretched out his hand and smiled playfully.
“You don’t need your hands anymore? It’s about to come out alone.”
A hand about to be reaped along with the horse.
“?!”
Surprised, Eunyul quickly grabbed his hand her. He then said he was like a child trying not to get his candy taken away.
“Blood, I need you, hands.”
“Okay?”
“Yes…!”
His head His moved up and down in response.
Seo Joo-hwan thought she was cute and stroked her hair on her.
“…….”
Eun-yul quietly accepted the hand. He felt sorry that he should not have come out wearing a hat. He even felt unfair because he couldn’t take it off now.
‘Even a hand…….’
With that in mind, I held his hand his tighter. Then she inadvertently put the pod on.
“Ah……!”
First, I put the pod on and a surprised sound came out.
Surprised by his grass her, Eunyul looked up at him startled. He just rolled his eyes and smiled as if nothing had happened. Why? She asked with her eyes her, and she shook her head saying it was nothing.
‘… Can I keep wearing it?’
It will be fine. I would have said it if I didn’t like it. Since I wasn’t rejected, I should have kept putting the pods on.
“…….”
Eunyul smiled silently and moved slowly. Safely, he goes out for a night walk to Anyangcheon today, holding his hand her. The cool spring breeze felt good.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at Eun-yul and thought.
‘I think it’s about time.’
