Chapter 519 – 519. Confession 2
Bang!
“I! I didn’t know!”
SeAH hits the table.
It’s not a very good look. Confused expression. An expression of not understanding.
“I… I don’t know. I was under a spell? Furthermore, I liked you because I was under a spell!?”
Okay. That’s a normal reaction. If anyone tells you that they are fascinated, it is natural to have that kind of reaction.
“Walk!”
“What?”
Se-ah shouts loudly when she sees me.
“Try it on me! Charm! You can still use it!”
“Fascination.”
When I actually walked, everyone was shocked.
However, Se-Ah, who was really fascinated, looked at herself and made a puzzled expression.
“What? Are you betting on this?”
Now that I think about it, it’s strange. Time is floating. Because I saw that it changed from 23 hours to 22 hours and 59 minutes.
But Se-Ah didn’t even smile at me. When she is charmed, she smiles brightly at me.
“Are you sure? I don’t think anything has changed?”
“That’s right. That’s how I see it.”
It’s unknown. No, even though Se-Ah was charmed, she was very flirtatious.
Is there such a thing as personal introspection? Like I, an insomniac, can’t sleep right away?
“Try it out! I don’t know what the difference is!”
“Invalidate!”
The time floating in SeAH’s head disappeared. But she still has a puzzled expression.
“I really have no idea what’s going on!”
“Sea.”
When Mina calls quietly, Se-Ah looks right there.
“Do you know why I asked about the charm duration earlier?”
“Huh?”
“That was the first day I met Seunghee and you. You weren’t living with your brother until that day, right?”
“Right?”
“Then did you meet every day until then?”
“No. It’s not like that.”
“Yes. We haven’t met often, have we? Then, have you ever thought about your brother when you didn’t see him?”
“Uh… Right?”
“What was it like back then? What did you think of your brother back then?”
“Huh? Then? That’s…”
Hearing Mina’s calm words, Se-Ah tries to think about what happened at that time.
“It was said that the duration of fascination was two hours. I think you will find the answer if you remember how you felt about your brother on the days when you did not meet him.”
Then Se-Ah’s eyes shake.
SeAh quietly looks down at the table without saying anything.
“I’m sorry.”
When I speak, everyone looks at me.
“Charm… Is a fairly cruel skill. It’s a skill that forces you to like a person. Even if the fascination is released, the feelings you had for that person remain, so you can’t help but be affected. What you say, Mina, is wrong. If the fascination accumulates, Even if there is no charm, you end up liking that person.”
Seunghee and Anna’s expressions harden at my words. SeAh… You know because I already told you.
But Mina is still smiling. Even though I told him I was wrong, his expression didn’t change at all.
“Who said that?”
“Huh?”
Mina still smiling.
“Who told you that? Have you ever experienced it?”
“Huh? Have you ever been charmed?”
“Yes.”
I was going to say yes to what Mina said, but…
Her mouth did not fall.
Was I charmed?
Jeong Se-hee. The woman I killed with my own hands. Did she charm me?
I couldn’t think of anything.
I guess someone put a memory wipe on my head. No. Memory manipulation? I don’t know. Why can’t I remember anything?
When I let go of Jeong Se-hee’s arm in college, when she left my hand and fell onto the roof of the College of Natural Sciences.
Have all your memories been taken out of my head?
I am… I couldn’t remember. But I started to remember.
That… Was it fascination? Was my liking for Jeong Se-hee the same as being fascinated?
No. No. I have never been charmed. Jeong Se-hee did not charm me.
It’s true that I almost died by that bitch, and it’s true that I was taken advantage of. But I wasn’t charmed.
To be precise, it wasn’t worth enchanting. Even if I didn’t wear that, it still rattled next to that bitch.
Now I know for sure. I have never been charmed.
All I’ve seen is her and other men being charmed by her.
“No. I’ve never experienced it.”
Oh my god. I said it with my own mouth.
So, was it really my heart that thought I was fascinated?
No… It’s true that I liked that bitch Jeong Se-hee even before the world fell apart, and before I had skills. Okay. That’s right.
But, after that… Wasn’t it amplified by fascination?
“You can’t know if you’ve never experienced it. A person’s love for another person isn’t created with that kind of skill. This… I can say this with confidence because I’ve thought about it for a long time. Of course, it could just be my case. My personality It may have been like that, but if the fascination is there for the rest of your life, it doesn’t feel natural.”
I feel like the common sense I knew is being shattered.
It’s about fascination. The feeling of liking someone. Was it the illusion of an idiot who didn’t know that?
“My brother must have charmed a lot of people outside. Right?”
“… Yes.”
“How was it? Even if all those people lost their charm, did they still like you?”
I was speechless at Mina’s question.
How was it? Did all the girls like me? No, it wasn’t.
There were definitely women who said they liked me even though the fascination had worn off. Jiyeon in Cheongpyeong… This kind of kids.
But not all are like that. I went back when the fascination wore off. In its original form of hatred.
Most of them were like that. And I thought it was because the first button was inserted incorrectly.
It was also true.
“Se-Ah. If you thought of your brother and had favorable thoughts even on days when you didn’t meet him, that was your mind created by you. It wasn’t a feeling created by a skill or something.”
“Why me! An oppa like that…”
“You don’t know that. Maybe you, like me, were looking for someone to save you from a ruined world. And that’s not strange at all. I guess… Doesn’t everyone alive in this world think like that?”
Neither I nor Se-ah could say anything to Mina’s words.
Someone who will save you?
Okay. That’s understandable. To me, that’s Seunghee.
Of course, Mina, Se-Ah, and Anna are also precious to me.
However, if Mana means salvation, Seunghee is that person.
The person who stabilized me when I was wandering around the streets at night like a mad dog in heat in a ruined world.
A woman who was by my side, accepted me, helped me accept Mina and Se-Ah, and even accepted Anna.
While I was thinking about that, Se-ah said.
“Then… This oppa’s charm on me had no effect!?”
“No. I don’t know that. But one thing is certain. What do you think of your brother now?”
“I…”
And then SeAh looks at me.
Look at that guy’s face blushing. Why are you excited? Look at that.
“That’s the answer. I don’t think I can create that kind of feeling in you right now with skills or something like that.”
Mina, who had said that, smiled quietly.
Under. Driving me crazy. I’ve seen Mina so much, but I’ve never thought she was as dazzling as she is now.
Why is that woman protesting for me like that?
Does she think it’s love? Because you love me? Even though she has been charmed, she speaks so passionately about me who did such a thing?
“Yeah. That guy has that side.”
Seunghee suddenly spoke up. Everyone looks at her like that.
“That guy is a crazy person. He will do anything to achieve a goal. He is suspicious, conniving, and cares about any means, and he also does all kinds of sneaky things.”
Everyone looks at Seunghee speaking openly and says it’s amazing, but they don’t refute it.
Damn. Actually, I can’t refute that, but other kids can’t refute that either. Damn.
“But, despite that, he is a person you can trust. He is a person who takes great care of the people in his arms.”
The funny thing is that Mina, Se-ah, and Anna nodded at those words.
“I don’t think he did anything wrong to us. That’s what I think. And if he did, he wouldn’t have revealed it like this. He would have done it in a more insidious, detailed and meticulous way.”
Nod again.
What. Do you feel bad about being recognized?
“Besides, memory manipulation? I think that was what I meant when I said that. I have this skill, but I couldn’t tell you because I was afraid you might misunderstand. Moreover, I have a record of using charm. But I won’t use that on you anymore. Please believe me, right?”
I unconsciously nodded my head at Seunghee’s words. What… What? How does it feel like my mind is being read?
You end up nodding your head like this. Now I understand.
“My brother. How can I say it? He’s a very simple person. The problem is that his methods are very crooked. There’s no need to think about it in a complicated way. First… That’s what I’ve seen.”
The women seemed to completely agree with Seunghee’s words. And. Something about this feels strange.
“Really… I was falsely accused of being a sexual harasser, but I was acquitted because I was gay… It feels like that.”
“Oppa, are you gay!?”
“Phew.”
Seunghee burst out laughing at Se-Ah’s words.
The same goes for Mina and Anna. The appearance of not being able to hold back laughter.
“No! That’s what the metaphor says!”
“Ah. Me too. I may be bi, but I’m not gay… I thought so.”
Anyway, the atmosphere was relieved a lot because of that ridiculous gasna.
However, this situation is not completely over.
Can I be excused for using charms like this?
“But why did you tell me this story? Because Se-ah asked me a few questions about her brother’s skills earlier?”
“That’s…”
I pause for a moment. Women looking at me.
But this is an opportunity that Seunghee gives me. Even though I know everything, I brought it up on purpose to make it clear.
If so, you should seize that opportunity. I spoon-fed it to you like this, but if you can’t take it, it’s my problem.
“I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time. That I have a charm skill. That I’ve used it before. Moreover, I also gained a memory manipulation skill. This memory manipulation skill is terrible. It literally changes my memory. No skill can return it to its original state. “I feel anxious if I’m with someone who has that skill.”
“Did you master that skill? Oppa, if you learned telekinesis now, it means you eventually mastered it.”
“That’s right.”
“Then it must have been written to someone. 6,250 times.”
“Uh…”
“What do you think? Are your skills perfect?”
“Huh? Well, the effect of the skill itself works properly. But it’s not easy. You have to set other conditions and adjust not only memories but also reality…”
“Are you confident that you can completely manipulate our memories?”
“Well, if it’s something simple…”
“Are you going to do it?”
“No. I said I wouldn’t do it.”
“You have to meet the conditions and the reality, and you can only do simple things, but if you don’t use it for us, then you don’t have to worry, right?”
“Right… Right?”
“It’s okay, then. I don’t care.”
Everyone looks at Seunghee’s cool words with amazement.
“No, you’re saying that’s definitely the case? If there’s something wrong with that guy’s personality, he’ll just come here and hit me straight in the face. He’s not the kind of person who would do such a hassle and meticulously change our memories all at once.”
“Ah.”
“I see.”
“As expected of you!”
Seunghee: That’s definitely mind-reading. Or that I am being controlled by him. Are you being understood to this extent?
“Anyway, that’s me. I don’t care about memory manipulation. As for the fascination… Please discuss it with the parties involved. Apologize to Mina and Se-ah on your own. But for me, I probably didn’t use it anyway because the timing wasn’t right. Why for Anna? Didn’t you write it?”
“I probably didn’t need to use it either, right? I would have liked it equally whether I used it or not.”
Anna’s triumphant answer. He’s also a scary kid.
“I guess that’s true. But apart from that, why didn’t you use it?”
“At that time, it was time for me to come to my senses a little…”
Everyone rolls their eyes at my words and looks at me.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“It’s a bit uncomfortable to say that my brother has come to his senses.”
The women agree again with Seunghee’s words.
Ah. This is not on my side. Well, what excuse can I make?
“Anyway. Mina and Se-ah, do you have anything else to say?”
“There is, but I’d like to talk about it with you separately.”
“That’s right. That’s a matter for the parties involved. What about Se-Ah?”
“Huh? Uh. Me too. I want to talk separately.”
“Is there anything else you want to talk about, Anna?”
“Me? I have nothing against Songcheol. He’s just a person I’m grateful to.”
“Ugh… You can’t do that. That oppa needs to be checked periodically. Oppa. Is there anything else to talk about other than this skill? Are you hiding something?”
And then Seunghee looks at me.
And Mina, Se-ah, and Anna follow Seung-hee and look at me.
What… What? What? Is there anything else we need to talk about? Am I hiding something? What is that knowing look in your eyes?
Is it Minhee by any chance? It’s not. Minhee would never know.
“Nothing.”
“Hmm. That’s right. Nothing. I understand. So let’s end it here, right? Anyone dissatisfied?”
Everyone says nothing to Seunghee’s words.
“Then let’s eat dinner now. It’s time to eat.”
Women suddenly get up from their seats. Seunghee, who was the last to wake up, winked lightly at me.
Ah. You sorted it out. I sorted it out by quietly pushing it.
Nice… Okay. In the end, the most valuable thing I have gained from this damn world is Seunghee. Seunghee.
I need to do something about this at least once. Ha.
However… You really don’t know anything, do you?
