Chapter 96 – 96. In Clubs
To Eun Seol-bo, the Sogoong of the North Sea Ice Palace, a classmate named Baek-woon was truly a mysterious being.
All the warriors in the ice palace awaken as snow women after eating the snow woman’s inner sheath obtained from the Devil’s Landing, and those who become snow women can see through the other person’s yang energy. That’s why, like her twin sister, Eunseolji, the moment she saw him, her heart fluttered violently and she felt drawn to her.
Yin and yang do not exist at the same time as humans do, and Snow Woman is a constitution made up of pure yin qi, so when she saw a large yang qi, she was attracted to her.
It is difficult to become stronger by pursuing only one yin qi of cold nature, but at the same time, she needs yang qi in proportion to it in order to succeed her successor.
That’s why Eunseolji, who is a nine syllable, fell in love with Baekwoon as soon as he saw her.
Eun Seol-bo simply dismissed it as if his younger brother was attracted to Hwa-gyeong Baek-wun because he was a master of Hwa-gyeong.
‘The reaction of luck was also strange.’
Despite being appointed as her little princess, she has lived with the dissatisfaction of others as her label, as she knows that her own talents are not up to her sister Eun Seol-ji’s.
That is why she, who has an objective eye to see the situation more calmly, was able to focus on the various complex emotions in his embarrassed eyes when she met her first acquaintance, Eun Seol-ji.
Remorse, regret, self-reproach, nostalgia, joy, hope, etc. Eun Seol-bo, who is sensitive to gaze, could not help but question the fact that the two conflicting emotions were mixed. It is true that she is definitely dating Eun Seolji for the first time, but why does she harbor such feelings?
The question was the same even when his gaze turned to him and met a slight change. No, it was a feeling that deepened even more when he turned to himself.
She was strangely attracted to her deep, profound eyes, to the point where I wondered if it was causing a whirlwind of passion.
Because of Eun Seolji, her twin after that, she often met him and felt friendly. She thought that since Eun Seol-ji was actively showing her interest in Baek-woon, it wouldn’t be bad for a man like this to become her husband.
Yes. I thought’Was‘All.
Even after that, if she hadn’t had a strange attachment to herself and looked at her with eyes as if she was projecting someone, Eun-seol-bo would have come to that conclusion neatly. With those eyes full of emotions as if she were targeting herself, she met her younger sister, whom she had a crush on, as an excuse and wondered if she was aiming for her own body. Treated politely.
Seeing the push-and-pull scene, even though it was annoying that her talent was compared, she was worried about her precious sister, so she purposely stopped by her club in the name of observing him. She even joined a strange club in the name of massage, but the more she saw him, the more her confusion only increased.
Yes, even if there is guilt such as lingering regret and remorse, other than that, there are only positive emotions such as liking and joy.
So, when I contacted her body exchanges through massage to feel her friendliness, asked questions in a careless state, and heard the answer, I felt betrayed to the point of collapse. Then, when he approached her, she was thrilled, but the excitement disappeared when she said the next thing.
“Seolbo, I think I tried to be closer to you.”
I could feel the sincerity in her whispered words. But at the same time it felt like he was whispering to himself that it shouldn’t be.
The moment her face fell and her eyes met again, only then did Eun-seolbo realize.
–Oh, this man isn’t looking at me.
You are just seeing someone projected through you.
Why the hell didn’t I know this?
He had the same eyes as the soldiers in the ice palace who projected on him to see if he had as much talent as his younger sister just because he looked the same all his life.
So let’s be honest –
“You… Who are you looking at through me?”
“…”
I saw his composure, the mask he was wearing, broken for the first time.
***
“…Well.”
Was the shock too strong? I couldn’t even be silent and let out a nasal sigh, feeling the confusion as I tasted a great sense of embarrassment at the situation in front of me.
How the hell did he see through my acting and come to such a conclusion? He said it was a question, but that accent had already convinced him within himself, and he decided that it was the answer. So, if I make halfway excuses, she won’t accept them, and she will doubt me even more and try to dig in.
No, even if you don’t dig into it, you won’t be friendly with me anymore and try to open the distance again.
Agitated.
As I thought so, I felt pain as my heart was compressed as if it were being clamped in a jade. Pain caused by something mental, not physical. In other words, the heart.
Her hardships and the reduction of her distance are in vain, and the mere fact that she is suspicious and wary of her makes me feel depressed, like rain falling from a gloomy sky. Funny enough, I don’t think of her as her eunseolbo, but it seems that she didn’t accept it that way in her heart.
So just guessing the reality that she would hate me like this must be this painful. After her return, although she had been traumatized by problems related to her teacher, she had never been so distressed by her future ties.
So how am I supposed to answer now?
Eun-seol-bo, who was her wife from the future, and Eun-seol-bo, who is now her friend. I saw the two of them individually and treated her a little differently and discriminated against her, but now that I’ve come to the realization that my heart wasn’t like that, I didn’t know how to treat her anymore.
To me who was so confused… I could only give an answer that averted the worst.
“Before…”
There was no need to talk about the future. It’s not just lies, it’s telling the truth as long as it doesn’t divulge information about the future.
Eun-seol-bo gazed at me with composure, as if he would listen to all the slow answers coming out of my mouth.
“A long time ago, there was someone I liked, no… Loved.”
“…”
Fortunately, it seems that Eun-seol-bo is determined to be patient with her and listen to her until the end. Her words became smooth as her fear, which had been straining her mouth muscles, was slightly alleviated by the thoughtful consideration that seemed to push her back as well as push her.
“We loved each other so much, it was heartbreaking. After we found out that we both had heartaches, we developed into a relationship where we cared for each other, comforted each other, and filled each other up. We even promised to start a family in the future… There was.”
Is it because there is Eun Seol-bo in front of her? As she sees Eun Seol-bo now, her memories of that time are supplemented, and she comes to mind more clearly.
And the more I did, the more I suffered. Unlike her mouth, which had been smoothed by her sense of duty, her heart, which still suffered from her guilt, continued to speak in a feeling of heavy fetters.
“The monsters came pouring out. At that time, we couldn’t bear to fight them and win, and we couldn’t escape without getting caught.”
After hearing her story up to that point, her Eun-seol-bo’s complexion hardened. It’s the distance that draws in your head what will come next.
“At that time, we… Our thinking was very mature. Our hearts knew it couldn’t be like this, but our heads understood. How to survive by running away while one person buys time as a scapegoat. The woman died somewhere I don’t know, and I couldn’t even give her a proper funeral.”
“…Are you projecting that woman onto me?”
“Right. Because he-“
I said while staring at Eunseolbo’s face.
“With gray hair and white hair like you, she was… The only sister left after losing her little sister.”
“…”
When she heard me, she kept her silence. She didn’t tell the whole thing, but since she honestly told her truth, she would believe that it was just a story that happened in her past, draw her imagination and understand it.
The problem is…
‘It’s about how Xuebo accepts it.’
“Hey. Luck.”
But before you even anticipate her reaction, she seems to have come to a conclusion.
“Is that right?”
… I guess that’s the bad side.
She licked her lips and bit her lip, like her older sister being compared directly to her Eunseolji. Should I say I’m glad I didn’t grind her teeth. At least it won’t go bad.
“I don’t know about you, but I lived a life of shame, being compared to Seolji for my title as the Sogungju. But again, wouldn’t I be angry if you didn’t look at me, projected someone from me, and treated me well as a vicarious satisfaction!!”
Warak.
Eun-seol-bo reached out both her hands and grabbed my collar. Since I was much taller than her, the sight unfolded that gave the impression that she was clinging to me rather than being caught by her.
However, I tasted the feeling of being pushed back and smaller by the spirit of pouring out her irritation on me as she sent a blazing stare in front of her eyes. In fact, in the history of couple fights, I had more defeats on my side, so it was a habit that I was tamed by.
“I became a fool for not knowing that it was such a stupid situation and worrying about my younger sister. So luck, you’ll have to pay the price.”
“What if it’s a price?”
“Follow.”
Eun Seol-bo pointed in the direction of the Blue Dragon Pavilion with her chin.
“Let’s open a game with me.”
“…”
Float
