Chapter 153 – #33_living Together

#151

One.
The return to the present world, which was sweet, is also short-lived.
It was confirmed that humans are animals of adaptation, and how quickly they become tainted with boredom in a constant life.
A boring life where the only thing that changes is the menu.

Meanwhile, Siwoo, who met Sharon, was in a good mood these days.
It’s the last few days to say these days, but it’s because it seems like I’ve found a purpose and direction in this boring life.
Say goodbye to the monotony amid abundance, like raw chicken breast, with no friends to talk to.

“Would you like to leave soon?”

After reading a book borrowed from the library, it was soon time for Sharon’s part-time job to end.
After facing the three homunculi the other day, they went out to search for the homunculus by posting flyers together every day for a week.

“I haven’t seen one since that day.”

Well, if there were that many homunculus, Sharon would have paid her debt more than this.
Even if it was said that there were no innocent people dying by homunculus, it felt a little bland when there was no event after a week of determination.
Siwoo put on his coat and came out.

“A good girl like Sharon needs to see a lot of light.”

His desire to help is like a chimney, but he compromised by using the excuse of visiting a restaurant to avoid being rude like the last time.
He also loves to eat himself.

The meeting place was always in front of Siwoo’s house at midnight when Sharon shifted.
Somehow, I thought there was a lot of moisture in the air, and it rained incessantly.

“What are you doing here?”

Siu was surprised.
It was because Sharon was sitting curled up on the stairs right after coming down from the elevator.

“What the heck, I was waiting for you.”

Sharon, who was resting her chin between her knees as if she was tired, stood up and brushed her butt when Siwoo spoke to her.
Her spirit body is very strong compared to a normal body, so she doesn’t get tired easily.
Sharon always looks very tired.
Especially more these days.

“Is it raining too much? Wouldn’t it be impossible to put up flyers?”
“So… Ha…”

Of course, it is impossible to hand out flyers when it rains like this.
Sharon, as if she couldn’t bear it, sighed as her land was gone and approached Siu.

“What, did you cry?”
“Oh no!”

Seeing Sharon’s face coming out of a dark place into the light, Siwoo was surprised.
Because her eyes were red and swollen.
Besides, she looks normal on the outside. Should I say something very difficult and sad?
Even Sharon’s dark green hair, which used to be fresh and vibrant like her wildflowers, looks like yellow weeds.

“What’s up.”
“Nothing. The weather is like this… I’ll just go home and rest today.”

Sharon laughed helplessly as she shook her hand.
It was a mournful smile that she tried to hide her hard work, to the point that even the insensitive Siu could tell.

“Is it really okay?”

It wasn’t long before she met her.
However, since it was the first time Sharon showed such a weak side, Siu immediately asked in a serious voice.
Sharon is a friend who has helped him a lot.
If you are in an unspeakable predicament, she wants to help in any way.

“……..”

Sharon’s eyes twinkle.
She closed her mouth tightly and looked at Siu’s face.
I could see the mysteriously colored eyes gradually filling up with water.

“Uh? Uh… Uh…”

Tears welling up run down your cheeks.
Sharon was embarrassed and wiped away her tears.

“Ah, what is it… That’s strange… There’s nothing sad about it.”

However, no matter how much I tried to wipe away the tears, more and more tears flowed as if a dam had burst.
Sharon began to whimper as if something had gotten stuck in her throat.

“Ugh…Ah… Wait, this… Why are you doing this…”

A week since she was kicked out of the house.
After putting up the fliers with Siu, she got a late-night snack and spent the night walking around the park.
In order to search the homunculus as well.
She also thought about getting the rent fixed, and applied positive self-hypnosis that since bad things happened, good things would happen too.

At that time, nothing really mattered.
As if her hair was covered with oil paper, she was a bit gloomy and blurry, but it didn’t interfere with her daily life as much as she thought.
But as soon as she heard a voice that seemed genuinely concerned, her throat filled up as if she had swallowed something hot.

“Huh…Huh…Huh…”

It was only 10 years.
To hear someone’s words of concern, not sarcasm or ridicule.

Sharon rushes into Siwoo’s arms before he has time to react.
A sweet scent that spreads through the humid summer air and a soft body that is completely different from that of a man.
He hugged her and hugged her on his chest.
Even though her appearance was full of childishness, she thought that Sharon, whom she usually felt like an older sister, was so small.

“Aaaaa…”

Shi-woo watched Sharon, who was crying like a child, without knowing what to do.
However, when he saw Sharon, who was shaking up and down her and trying to dig into Siwoo, Siwoo was moved to tears.
She gently hugs her shoulders and pats her back.

What the hell is going on

2.
“Heeep…! Sorry… All of a sudden… Hi! Are you surprised? Hey!”

Sharon and Siu sat down on the stairs side by side.
In Sharon’s hand was the banana milk Siu bought for her at the convenience store where she worked.
Sharon can’t stop hiccups with the tip of her nose red as she holds her banana milk tightly.

“Let’s talk while drinking slowly.”
“Yeah… Thank you, hi!”

Sharon seemed to have calmed down a little after she sucked on the banana milk from her side with pink lips that were still shaking from crying so much.

“So can you tell me what happened?”

Sharon pondered for a while.

“…Yes, I will tell you.”

However, Sharon, whose tears did not go away, soon confessed the story of the past week as calmly as possible.
It took a while for her to hold back her tears, but she was able to roughly grasp the situation.
The fact that she was kicked out of her existing home and was doing her homelessness.

“Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

Siu noticed that his voice was mixed with severe reprimand.
Do you deserve it I want to, but she is a little sad and angry again.
It wasn’t long before we met, but I thought of her as a friend.
Shouldn’t it have been said if such a serious thing had happened?

“I just… Didn’t want to be a burden… I wanted to take care of this myself.”
“Still….”

Should have talked
Siwoo, who was about to say that, swallowed his words behind his back.
What should I do to give my soul here?
In fact, it may be that her self, who continued her solitary life, feels an unusual affinity for her.
I didn’t want to cross the line like last time.

“Thank you anyway. After crying once, I feel refreshed.”

Sharon, who wiped her nose, smiled as brightly as before.
I can’t.
After seeing something like that, how can you do nothing and say, “I don’t know if you’ll feel uncomfortable, but I won’t interfere~”?

“Then, how about staying at my place temporarily?”
“What? Nope! No no no It’s not like that!”

Sharon shook her head and shook her head.
She responded that she was worried that the fact that she had come and lamented her situation and cried in her arms seemed like some kind of begging from her.
Sharon had a strong tendency to solve everything by herself.

“I know you’re not that calculating. But aren’t you in need of help now?”
“…Still….”
“It’s a two-room anyway, so there are two bedrooms.”

In fact, her proposal to her lady friend, asking her to live together in a house where a man lives alone, is a proposal she would never have made if it had been Siwoo.
However, if she offers to give her a new house or get a studio apartment, it is clear that Sharon will vehemently reject her.
So it was an intermediate book.

“Instead, you help me a little with my studies. I said I would tell you the other day, but I didn’t have the time. As you said before, isn’t it okay because it’s a win-win?”
“…Really, are you okay?”

Sharon lifts her head and looks up at her sister-in-law.
A hungry puppy seems to see the sausage in her hand.
Looking at them with such bright eyes, I even felt the illusion that the dark stairs were shining brightly.

“Then! You don’t have to worry.”
“Y-yes… Can I? No no no no…”
“I might be attacked by other witches or homunculus, so it would be really reassuring if you acted as my bodyguard.”

Siwoo explains his strengths one by one to Sharon, who is not willing to accept it as expected.
You can raise money faster by subsidizing magic research instead of paying rent.
Since he can prepare for an attack, he explains in detail that Siwoo has enough merits, as well as commuting quickly.
He even said that it would be okay if he paid the rent later if it bothered him.

“And I’ll buy you delicious rice every day. I was bored eating alone.”
“Bar… Bob?”

I felt as if I had grabbed Sharon’s back as she walked a tightrope between her acceptance and rejection.
As soon asheheard the word Bob, his mint-colored eyes became blurry as if he were hypnotized.
After pondering her thoughts over and over, Sharon passively nodded her head.

“Well, okay. Can I bring my luggage right away?”
“Yes.”
“I left it at the convenience store, so please wait for me to bring my suitcase.”
“Okay.”

In this way, the cohabitation contract between Sharon and Siwoo was successfully concluded.

3.
“Wow….”
“Come in.”

Sharon entered Siwoo’s house with her luggage.
Neat room structure like a new officetel.
Even though she was only a two-room house, Sharon, who had gone through the homeless, one-room, and rooftop-tech, looked so good that a luxury villa would go away.

“Then, excuse me…”

Sharon put her suitcase on her shoe rack and crept into the living room.
Her shrunken shoulders gradually straighten as she looks around the room.
A balcony overlooking the downtown area, and a large TV and sofa in the living room.
Even though it’s not very tidy, she looks much neater than Sharon’s rooftop room.
Siu dragged Sharon and showed her where her room would be in the future.

“I think I should stay here. It’s a little smaller than my room, but it won’t interfere with your life. There is no bed today, so sleep on the bed in my room. Let’s order it tomorrow.”
“Oh no! I’m not going to sleep today.”
“Okay? I just don’t feel like sleeping very much.”

Sharon followed Siu around, inspecting every nook and cranny of her house and bit her lip.
She left everything and she felt so grateful.

“Siw.”
“Why?”
“Thank you… Thank you very much…”

Sharon squeezes Siwoo’s hand and strokes it.
The welling up tears seemed to indicate her emotional shame.
As soon as she seemed to like her, Siwoo felt better too.

“Thank you for what. He said he had been walking all night for days on end.”
“Yeah… I really won’t forget this grace. I’ll definitely pay you back! But is it okay if I take a hot shower?”
“Now?”
“Yes! I only washed with magic for too long.”
“Okay.”

After receiving Siwoo’s permission, Sharon went into her shower room, took off her clothes, and turned on her shower.

-Shoot aaaaa

“Keuheung…Sniff…”

Sharon squatted in the corner of the shower booth and sobbed as soon as the sound of hot water made the small bathroom noisy.

The kindness of others that I feel after 10 years.
I don’t know whether to say it was touching or thanks, but the emotions kept stimulating my tear glands and I couldn’t stand it.
Crying in front of you all the time is rude, so hide it with the sound of water and secretly weep.

However, a small smile bloomed on Sharon’s face as she cried out while being bathed in warm water.
