Chapter 282 – Encounter
While waiting for a call from Ye-ryeong, I saw the sun rising outside the window.
‘Why isn’t he contacting me?’
After realizing that all of her abilities had disappeared yesterday and that the yin of her mind had been released, she had been waiting for her contact without sleep, but she did not come.
I’ve been waiting all night, but the call that doesn’t come.
Now that Ye-ryeong couldn’t even check what she was doing or what she was thinking, she started to get nervous as time passed.
‘Should I contact you first?’
In case she was waiting for my call, she thought dozens of times about contacting me first.
However, something happened because of me, and it took a lot of courage to contact her first, who didn’t know what she might think of me.
Ye-ryeong who answered her call might curse at me or not answer the phone at all.
She felt that her heart would really hurt if the girl who had become truly in love with her had shown me such behavior.
A reward for taking advantage of his abilities to date women lightly and using them solely to quench his sexual desire.
It was my karma for not recognizing how dangerous it is to touch people’s minds.
‘Let’s wait for now.’
My heart, waiting for the other person to contact me first like a coward because I was afraid to contact him just once, started to burn.
——————-
“Ha…”
After realizing that it was Lee Jin-seok who did this to her yesterday, Ye-ryeong lay in a daze on the bed.
Originally, as soon as she got up in the morning, she should have done the important day routine of drawing the curtains and making coffee, but she didn’t want to do anything now.
‘To think my brother was that kind of person…’
Tears were pouring out of Ye-ryeong’s eyes as she recalled Lee Jin-seok while she was lying on her bed in a daze.
She thought she was in true love, but it was all a lie.
I don’t know what method he used, but it was all made up by him.
I was like a puppet that played as he wanted on the board he had woven.
“Huh…Huh!”
Han Ye-ryeong continued to shed tears as she retraced the events with Lee Jin-seok one by one.
The thoughts I always kept repeating, such as, “I’m so glad that I was the first person I dated,” And “I’m a really happy person,” All seemed like nothing.
A happy dream that would disappear as soon as you forget it for a moment.
As she recalled memories with him alone, she checked her cell phone once.
Normally, your own cell phone always informs you if you slept well in the morning.
However, there was no such contact at all today to see if there was anything going on.
‘Why…Don’t you contact me first…’
With all common sense back to normal, she hoped that Lee Jin-seok would contact her first.
I’m afraid that if I hear his voice, even a little bit of the betrayal and anger that fills my heart will be washed away.
However, that was just her wish, and no matter how long she waited, no contact came.
It was time for her to go to school soon, but when she didn’t hear from her, Ye-ryeong Han lay back in bed.
If I go to school with these feelings now, I don’t think I’ll be able to concentrate on anything anyway.
If I ever ran into him at school, I would get angry the moment I saw him.
The wound in her heart was so great that she became lethargic and shed tears without stopping and eventually fell asleep from exhaustion.
———————
By the time Han Ye-ryeong lost her motivation and fell asleep exhausted from crying in her house.
‘Aren’t you coming today?’
I thought that maybe we could meet at school, but I was frustrated because I couldn’t see Ye-ryeong anywhere.
She never missed school and she didn’t come to school because she was me.
I didn’t come because I played with people’s hearts.
Just by missing school, I can say that such an idea is not too leapfrog.
But today is the same class day of the week.
Whenever this day comes, the moment we meet each other at the place we promised, she always greeted me with a bright face.
“Ha…”
Five minutes before her class started, she waited for her and her appointed place and eventually walked out alone in her lonely steps.
After all the classes at school, I just walked down the street without thinking and arrived home, so I decided to contact him first.
‘It’s my fault, so it’s best to call first.’
That’s how I picked up my cell phone that I was contemplating whether or not to call first without taking classes at school.
[One example is that she thinks that the current user does not know, how do you plan to deal with it?]
‘!!’
Without thinking, I made up my mind to make a mistake, and at the system’s words, I dropped the phone I was holding in my hand.
“That’s right…Yeryeong doesn’t know that I know right now…”
Since I knew, she thought, of course, that she knew too, but she didn’t.
She must be thinking that I don’t know anything right now, but she calls and pretends to be happy.
No matter how thick his face was, it was impossible to act in a way that would not show through.
How can I naturally act like I don’t know anything?
After thinking about this for several hours without eating, I decided to go straight ahead.
“I can’t do it this way.”
To be honest, there were times when I thought that I should keep waiting like a coward because time is medicine.
But what if you get further away from her in the meantime? What if she finds another man with her?
I couldn’t stand it at all when I thought about it, so I immediately got dressed and went down to the parking lot and got into the car.
[Your improvisation is not good. Are there any other alternatives?]
“I don’t know. I’m going because I think it’s right to talk face to face.”
[What are you going to do if you go so irresponsibly and hurt me again?]
“I have to do my best to let people know that I was wrong and show that I am reflecting.”
[That is a very irresponsible statement.]
“I know, but my brain is bad, so this is the only way I know.”
Even when I listened to the advice of a system that never harmed me and only benefited me, I did not think to stop.
She had a strong feeling that if she stayed like this, she would really miss her.
If you leave a wound that is already open without stitching it up or disinfecting it, the damaged area will rot and you will have to cut it out.
The same goes for people’s hearts, even if it hurts more if there is a wound, I thought I must heal the wound.
After driving with the sole intention of apologizing to Han Ye-ryeong, my heart started pounding as I heard the navigation guide that I had arrived at her destination.
‘Yeryeong already knows everything, so let’s not try to see if she left without thinking, and let her apologize honestly.’
If this were a game, I would have just caught her, raped her, trained her, or made her into a slave by using an item, but this was reality.
A reality completely different from the game, which can be encountered at any time and can be initialized by saving and loading.
Knowing well that I couldn’t save or load if I made a mistake, I swallowed her saliva and walked to her house where she lives.
‘Come…’
I had never visited Ye-ryeong’s house before, but thanks to the help of her system, I was able to come without getting lost and arrived at her door where she lives.
Now, if you raise your hand and knock on the door or ring the bell, you will be met.
I briefly imagined what kind of expression the woman who opened the door would make when she saw me, and soon gave up on that thought.
‘Let’s bump into each other first.’
If I just imagined it like this, there would be no end, so I knocked on the door before even the courage I had was gone.
-…
There was a knock on the door, but no sound came. I wondered if he was sleeping, so I thought of leaving as it was, but I pressed the bell with the knife I had already drawn and a promise to cut something.
-Ding-dong!
The ringtone, which would normally have sounded normal, sounded loud enough to make my body ring, perhaps because I was very nervous.
I rang the bell once and waited for a while, focusing on my hearing, when I heard a rustling sound from inside.
I was worried about what to do if she didn’t come home after all, but luckily she was inside.
After that, I felt someone in front of the door with a rustling sound, and then I heard a familiar voice.
-Who are you?
It must have been because of me that he had a lot of trouble in his heart, but his voice was not his usual bright voice, but his voice was weak and stretched out.
Hearing that voice, I calmed my beating heart and opened my mouth.
“Yes, it’s me.”
-Brother…?
“Huh…”
– Hey, how did you know this place?
As I revealed that it was me as casually as possible, I heard Han Ye-ryeong’s trembling voice and how I came to this place.
‘It’s still too early to reveal.’
I didn’t want to lie because I couldn’t say that I came to know the location of this place through the system, but I decided to cover it up.
The current me is someone she doesn’t know the facts about me.
So, he said, vowing to lie only this once and not to lie in everything else.
“I once secretly followed you home when I went home…”
-… I see.
I don’t know if you believe the facts that were covered up, but I pretended not to know anything at all.
“Yes, but what’s going on? Your voice has no power.”
-…
“Yes, yes?”
-There is.
Fortunately, I was relieved that I didn’t have to show my nervous face because I couldn’t see my face, and I continued to act disgusting even if I thought about it myself.
“What is it? Would it be okay if my brother went home and listened to the story?”
-… For a moment.
When I was told to come in easier than I thought, I desperately adjusted my frown in disgust and made a smile.
Around the time I was holding back the disgust I felt from myself while adjusting my expression as much as possible.
– Belt ring
The door opened with the sound of a mechanical sound from inside.
