Chapter 59 – Episode 59- Yin-Yang Unity
I opened my eyes.
What came into sight was the familiar white ceiling.
Let’s wonder for a moment, let’s realize where this place is.
Like deja vu, I heard the familiar voice of someone next to me.
“… Are you okay?”
Eyes with deep dark circles, probably full of fatigue.
Even in the hospital room, he smokes a cigarette.
Even if you look at just one, Kim Ji-hye, a person who can be predicted, was standing by my side.
Having been in the same situation in the hallucination maze before, I did a quick brainstorm.
Soon after, in my broken memories, I realized that I had killed Hong Ma-dong after controlling Yin Qi.
“Ah.”
Bright red blood.
And when I saw the dark dagger on the table next to my sight, my heart sank.
Kim Ji-hye calmly looked at me like that, and then she slowly brought out her words as if to listen.
“Kang Han-jun, as I said before, there are crazy shamans and monsters in this world.”
Kim Ji-hye lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply, silently gazing at her empty space with a decadent expression on her face.
“But, it’s not without reason. There’s a fucking reason behind it. But those bastards are insane.”
Kim Ji-hye, who had been leaning on her chair for a moment, seemed to think of someone, and continued.
“A world made of witchcraft. It would be nice if it was exactly the same as the other world, but there are many flaws in this world.”
Kim Ji-hye, who messed up her hair once.
Annoyed, she snapped her fingers and blew her cigarette away, adding to me reassurance.
“So, don’t be too heartbroken over killing the mad shaman.”
“… Yes.”
Kim Ji-hye glanced at me to see if I was really okay.
I was surprisingly calm.
She certainly felt guilty about killing someone, but it was clear that if Seol-hee’s life was expendable, if Hong Ma-dong didn’t die, a bigger sequel would come.
So I had no choice but to kill him.
Kim Ji-hye saw my expression, which was quite calm, and she frowned slightly, then took out her cigarette and asked.
“Fuck, you’re making kids do things like this.”
Kim Ji-hye muttered in the tone of her disillusionment, crossed her legs, and smoked her cigarette again.
Looking at her, I realized that I had forgotten the most important fact, and she hurriedly asked one thing.
“They. Are the other kids okay?”
It seems like the kids came out of their caves at the end and even confirmed that everything was fine.
I didn’t know what might have happened after that.
In response to my question, Kim Ji-hye asserted as if not to worry.
“Everyone is fine, except for two people.”
“Yes?”
Jihye Kim pointed at me with her hand.
“You and Seolhee Yoo.”
“Am I okay?”
In fact, my body was fine.
Let’s wave our arms around as if to show the state of our bodies where we don’t even feel pain.
Jihye Kim sighed.
“Try to use magic in that state, because I’ll vomit blood.”
“… Iknow, right.”
Looking back at the yang qi inside the body, it was clear that the outside was fine, but the inside was rotten.
A sense of heterogeneity mixed here and there like an ant nest.
But unlike usual, when I realized that something was going around inside, I expressed my doubts.
Kim Ji-hye read my expression and brought out what I was wondering about.
“Is there something strange mixed in your body? That’s negative.”
“You say the sound is going around?”
I haven’t felt yin qi recently, but I’ve never felt yin qi moving around in my body like this.
It was strange to think that I was always trapped in my large yang qi, and that the yin qi was wandering around without knowing whether it was there or not.
Kim Ji-hye clicked her tongue as if it were absurd.
“I don’t know what you did, but looking at the reverse, your yang qi was inflated several times more than usual. If it’s normal, you have to die to be normal. But you and Seol-hee Yoo, only the yang and yin inside the body were turned inside out, but they didn’t die.”
The yang overlaid the yin.
Recalling the image of the sun covering the moon, there was one thing that caught my eye.
The feeling that something is mixed.
I wonder if the ambiguous sensation I felt at that time saved me and Seol-hee.
“I’m glad though.”
“What.”
“Seolhee can’t use magic like me, but that doesn’t mean she’s fine. All the other kids are fine.”
Kim Ji-hye looked down at me blankly.
“Hanjun Kang, are you forgetting one?”
“Which one?”
“Yoo Seol-hee, at least weakly, releases yin energy from my body.”
“…!”
A white aura always spread around Seolhee.
Realizing the feeble negative energy contained in that aura, I widened my eyes.
“What should I do, Seol-hee?!”
I hurriedly asked Kim Ji-hye.
Then Jihye Kim answered me as if she was worried about something.
“What should I do, what should I do? Just do it.”
“Yes…?”
“Have a relationship with Seolhee Yoo, which you have been putting off so far, to stabilize the yang qi and yin qi mixed in your body.”
Kim Ji-hye continued her words by saying ‘and’.
“Yoo Seol-hee is put in the special room to her left, and no one will come for a while on my order. Take care of yourself for the rest of the day.”
Having said that, Kim Ji-hye slowly rose from her seat.
She always throws out shocking words and tries to tell Kim Ji-hye what to say when she turns around.
Jihye Kim added a few more words to me.
“Yoo Seol-hee woke up before you, but as soon as she woke up, she only called Kang Han-jun by your name. And then, did you take off the necklace?”
I groped my neck.
Kim Ji-hye, who saw me checking the necklace, made an expression that she knew that.
“Kang Han-jun, the moment you take off your necklace, you look more handsome than anyone else to the female monsters, and at the same time, you feel a strong sexual desire.”
Gulp.
He took off the necklace in front of Seolhee, not once, but twice.
Aware of that fact, I listened to Kim Ji-hye’s words.
“But you saved me from that situation and you were right next to me. What do you think will happen?”
When I didn’t say anything, Kim Ji-hye laughed.
“Catch the mood a little bit and do well on your own. If you do it with Yu Seol-hee, the Yang energy inside you will surely stabilize. From then on, I will teach you other spells.”
And Kim Ji-hye picked up the dark dagger that was lying on my table.
“Two days later, my family will enter this academy. Come and get this from me then.”
“A shadow family is entering the academy?”
“Yes, I think I will have to interfere from now on.”
Kim Ji-hye’s dark eyes sank dully.
“Because there are too many assholes and assholes.”
Although blunt, Kim Ji-hye seems to have suppressed her anger.
Embarrassed by the cold expression she had never seen before, Kim Ji-hye returned her expression to its original state as if it had never happened.
“Don’t worry too much. Kang Kang-joon, think about what to do with Yu Seol-hee in the next room. Leave the dirty work to the adults.”
Widely.
Jihye Kim blew the cigarette out of her mouth with her finger somewhere.
Kim Ji-hye, biting her cigarette again, turned around her and she slipped out of the hospital room.
Left alone before I knew it, I remembered what I had just said.
It seemed that many meaningful words were exchanged, but in the end, what I have to do today.
He said that he had to do physical therapy with Seol-hee in the next room.
* *
I opened the door to the hospital room and went out into the hallway.
Certainly, as Kim Ji-hye said, we were the only ones here, and a silence lingered around.
There was a faint sound coming out, but it was coming from the special room right next to me.
“Collock, Coke.”
The sound of sneezing.
On the way, realizing that Seol-hee’s voice was mixed in, I hurriedly opened the next door.
Then he saw Seol-hee lying on the bed.
Seol-hee, who was sitting on the bed with her eyebrows furrowed, coughed as if in pain.
“It’s Seolhee.”
I called Seol-hee by name and approached.
Seol-hee must have noticed me now, and her blue eyes widened.
“Kang Han-jun?”
As I approached Seol-hee, I could see the white aura scattered around Seol-hee fluctuating weakly.
Not only that, but there was fleshy ice growing on Seolhee’s white skin, probably from sweating.
“Wait a minute.”
You don’t look like you’re in good shape, but if you have ice like that, it’s sure to be bad.
I reached out and touched Seolhee’s skin.
“So…?”
When I touched it, the thin ice melted without a trace.
As I swept away all the ice that had sprouted from one arm, Seol-hee let out an excited moan.
“Huh.”
I pressed my bright red lips with a blunt expression, trying to suppress the moan I spewed out as much as possible.
Still, Seol-hee and I both stopped for a moment at the strange voice that came out slightly.
Momentary silence.
I thought about what to do in this awkward atmosphere, but luckily Seol-hee spoke to me first.
“Kang Han-jun, are you okay?”
A question asking if he was hurt.
I nodded.
“It’s okay, I’m okay, but the problem is that you’re not okay, Seolhee.”
As if to say hello, he pointed to the thin ice that had sprouted from the inside of his neck.
The gesture of pointing at the sparkling collarbone and white neckline was slightly awkward, so I lowered my hand without realizing it.
Seolhee looked at me with clear eyes and said.
“… I remember?”
“What.”
“What you said in the cave.”
Seol-hee has a blunt expression, but has a slight blush.
“I told you that you can be greedy or petty.”
Seolhee grabbed my hand with her slender fingers and led it to her neck.
Seol-hee, who ran my hand over the thin nape of her neck and even the white collarbone, whispered to me.
“Kang Han-jun, kiss me.”
Seol-hee flinched as if she was afraid that she might refuse.
Seol-hee, who has never asked anyone for a favor, is asking for me.
As I had promised before, I gradually approached Seol-hee and swallowed her red, cold lips.
