Chapter 362 – Chapter 362 Hero Academy (4-3)
[The author is Cho Kang-hyun.]
‘….’
Even without Armonia telling me, I could tell at once.
With a height of about 180 cm, a beautiful appearance, an atmosphere that completely calms the surroundings.
Eyes that transcend expressionlessness and contain meaninglessness.
Even a kid in the neighborhood who doesn’t know who this guy is will shut his mouth in front of him.
It certainly exuded a gentle and calm air, but on the other hand it had an impression that strongly gripped the human mind.
After looking down at me for a long time with such meaningless eyes, Cho Kang-hyeon turned his gaze away and started walking again.
The place he arrived after walking like that….
“Long time no see. Two people.”
“Brother… What’s going on here….”
“Where are you going?”
It was the entrance to the restaurant where Cho Seo-hyeon and Seong Su-ah were standing.
The entrance to the restaurant was obviously crowded with people, but there were only three people talking.
Everyone just listened quietly, as if only the three had been given the right to speak.
“Yeah, I’m on my way to the outside because I have something urgent to do.”
“Aha, but what’s going on here? Would you like to eat here too?”
Cho Kang-hyun, who was silent for a moment at Cho Seo-hyun’s words, tilted her head with an expressionless expression and asked Cho Seo-hyun instead.
“… Does your sister eat here?”
“Ah! Fort eats sometimeshaha.”
“… Okay.”
And the following regards.
“Sua, how are you?”
“Yes… Brother. How is your brother?”
“Yes.”
It was definitely a conversation.
But it was never a conversation with a lover or family.
It was just communication, saying only the necessary words and listening to the necessary answers.
‘It was strange that he hadn’t appeared for a while, but I can’t quite understand this.’
[There are not a few areas of concern.]
The reason why my goal was Sung Soo-ah was because it was closely related to the final goal, Cho Kang-hyeon.
There were only a few things that could be guessed by looking at Cho Kang-hyeon’s appearance.
‘Have you ever become gay?’
[Then the target becomes a man….]
‘Do not be ridiculous!!! If the gay cub is targeted, I’ll quit! ‘
Need to seduce a man?
I have no confidence to twist, and I have no desire to twist.
And one more guess.
[Perhaps the mind itself for the opposite sex has disappeared.]
‘Ugh….’
A truly miserable situation.
Still, I could say it wasn’t the worst in that it was better than gay.
‘What… If so, there’s nothing I can do. I should be content with flirting with Cho Seo-hyun and Seong Soo-ah while I’m here.’
[Still, it would be nice to find out more details given the time I’ve taken. Like a real man….]
‘Stop….’
I cut off her words in fear that Armonia might say that she is flirting with a man.
Even if it’s an order from a superior, it’s an unpleasant order to hear….
It was when I was thinking about Cho Kang-hyun.
Cho Kang-hyeon spoke to the two women in a low voice.
“It’s been a while since we met like this, shall we eat together?”
“Uh!? Do you want to eat at the restaurant?”
“… You have changed a lot.”
Cao Kangxian uttered her meaningful words, then looked around her for a moment, then looked at the two women, she said.
“But… You can only feel this atmosphere here.”
“… You always talk about difficult things.”
After Seohyun looked at me with a shy smile, she started gesturing for me to come.
‘… I’m anxious.’
Actually, I was full of desire to leave this place right now, but I judged that it was already too late and approached Seohyeon Cho to say hello.
As soon as I approached and bowed to Cho Seo-hyeon and Seong Su-ah, Cho Seo-hyeon immediately started introducing me to Cho Kang-hyeon.
“Here, this is the instructor Seong Su-ho who is working with me. And here… You already know My younger brother Cho Kang-hyun.”
“… Hello.”
“….”
Even at my greeting, Kanghyun did not move a single hair on her eyebrows, looked at her and held out her hand.
I stared intently at his outstretched hand and then cautiously began to hold out my hand.
[I will prepare for any unexpected situation.]
‘….’
In a different situation, I would have laughed and passed it over, but now I couldn’t just laugh and pass it over.
Shaking hands with the suspect who tried to kill me before wasn’t something I could do lightly.
I reached out my hand so slowly… Got it
That was the moment I held hands.
My expression and eyes, which had been filled with complete emotionlessness until now, were suddenly slightly distorted, and I felt the inner fluctuations flowing into me.
“… ?”
“….”
Cho Kang-hyeon, who was staring at my hand while shaking hands like that, withdrew his hand and said to me.
“Shall we eat something like this?”
..
..
The dining table with Cho Kang-hyeon was literally a cushion of thorns.
The opponent was the guy who tried to kill me.
Even though it wasn’t confirmed, and there was no guarantee that the other party saw me correctly and attacked….
In addition to that fact, the atmosphere of the character Cho Kang-hyeon also played a role.
“….”
Not only me, but Seong Soo-ah, Cho Seo-hyeon, and furthermore, the people in the restaurant were just whispering quietly without talking as usual.
Occasionally, Seohyun Cho tried to open her mouth first to ventilate her atmosphere, but Kanghyun Cho ended her conversation briefly and concisely.
And it was even more pitiful to see Seong Soo-ah quietly eating next to him.
Despite the fact that they were eating right next to each other, it seemed like they were eating on a completely different level.
Cho Ganghyeon just focused on the meal in front of him.
It was an atmosphere that could hardly be thought of as a family or a fiancé.
In the end, the meal was really just eating and it was over.
“I had a nice time today.”
“… Okay.”
“… See you next time.”
Chow Jiangxian was sent off by two women, and she stopped for a moment as she walked away. She turned her head for a moment and looked at me.
It wasn’t until after confirming that he had completely disappeared that people started talking loudly as if their breath had been relieved.
(Wow… The force is no joke.)
(I thought I was really suffocating….)
(By the way, a handsome dog is handsome.)
(Since I saw it right in front of me, I had no time to think about it.)
It was a different atmosphere from the guys I’ve met so far.
At least among the people I met, there was one person who gave off a similar vibe….
‘The force is almost at the level of the dean or the demon king?’
I thought all the guys in the temple I’ve seen were so clumsy, but Cho Kang-hyeon was clearly showing a different side.
[It must be because Midsummer or Lewis just started to shine.]
‘… After all, the story is that the two of them become like that over time, right?’
Time is on the side of the protagonist.
The more time I drag, the more Midsummer or Louise will grow.
‘If I go to Straw later, I’ll have to smash Louis into a meadow like midsummer.’
It won’t be easy to recover from the midsummer break, but Lewis still had many opportunities to stand up.
But for now, the person I need to focus on is Cho Kang-hyun.
While I was thinking hard about what to do with Cho Kang-hyun, Cho Seo-hyun, who was standing next to me, patted me on the arm and started talking to me.
“Because he’s such a blunt kid. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“Yes? Ah….”
It was probably because he was offended by the scene I was watching intently, so he mistook it for something like that.
“He has great charisma.”
“Kanghyun has the same charisma.”
Cho Seohyun answered my words with a nod of her head, then looked at her side and opened her mouth.
“But why did you say it’s been a while with Kanghyun? Huh? Seongsu-ah, where did you go?”
Me and Cho Seohyeon looked around for Seongsuah, but in the end, we couldn’t find her until the end.
“No… He suddenly disappears without a word.”
“….”
When I faced this situation myself, I began to roughly grasp the situation.
The answer to the question of why a woman with [Pure love] And [Wise mother and wife] In her temperament lost her eyes to me began to come out.
And the reason for the following [Lack of affection for a lover] Temperament….
I thought while watching Cho Seo-hyeon looking around for Seong Soo-ah, who had disappeared.
‘Let’s go to VR quickly.’
..
..
After I broke up with Seohyeon Cho, I returned to her dormitory and started working the VR right away.
In the process of breaking up with Cho Seo-hyeon, she showed her dissatisfaction, but it was an inevitable choice.
‘First of all, Seong Soo-ah is in a hurry….’
Cho Seo-hyeon’s dormitory is something she had visited once, so she could visit it again, but Seong Soo-ah couldn’t visit it like that.
There was only one way I could meet her and her alone.
‘Whoa… Please stay inside….’
While praying like that, I put the VR headgear on my head and started operating it.
***
Seong Soo-ah was lying on the bed with the lights off in her room, wearing her suit, staring at her ceiling.
‘… How many months? Three months? Four months?’
She was able to meet her fiancé, whom she had been waiting for so desperately.
Cho Kang-hyun, whom she thought she would see once every few months, appeared without contact and appeared in front of her eyes.
In the past, she would have been happy to just spend time with her and had her energy.
But she wasn’t happy at all throughout the meal.
No, on the contrary, it was just a feeling of displeasure rising up in her stomach.
At first, she wondered if it was just because she was frustrated after seeing Kanghyun for the first time in a while, but immediately shook her head and denied it.
‘It’s not like that…’ .’
Cao Jiangxian didn’t show that kind of side from the beginning, but after she graduated from the consulate, she continued to show that side.
She gradually loses her feelings.
In other words, she wasn’t like that from the start.
Because of that, Seong Soo-ah was able to get used to the slowly changing Cho Kang-hyeon, and unlike the others, she was able to get along with him while recalling memories even when he seemed to have no emotions.
But not today.
And she quickly realized why.
‘Instructor Seong Soo-ho… What kind of woman did he think I was?’
It was because of Seong Soo-ho, who was sitting across from her.
Even though it had only been a month since they met, she could sense that her feelings for him extended beyond her camaraderie.
The two of them created a secret space and shared the feelings of the opposite sex.
It wasn’t that I had any strange feelings from the beginning.
However, her secret space completely cut off from the outside reassured Seong Soo-ah, and while Seong Su-ho’s young appearance bewitched her, she gradually began to lose her mind in her virtual world.
Seong Soo-ah turned her eyes to the VR headgear lying on her bedside and was lost in her thoughts.
‘… You’d think she’s a strange woman after all, right?’
When Seong Soo-ah met Seong Soo-ho, who was in front of her, she lost her confidence and came to the room as if to run away.
But even as she ran away, her hand slowly started reaching for the VR headgear.
Her VR world, which she had been sucked into as if she was addicted to it, had become an existence she did not want to be without before she knew it.
However, her anxiety outweighed the addictiveness of virtual reality.
‘What should we talk about when we meet? What if you don’t come in? If you don’t come in like that, how will we talk tomorrow….’
In the end, Seong Soo-ah’s worries continued, and eventually, the end of her worries continued until her eyelids sank.
..
..
“Uh!? What time is it?”
Seong Su-ah jumped out of bed screaming at the quiet dawn and checked the digital clock on the wall.
2:24
As soon as Seong Su-ah saw her watch, she grabbed her hair randomly, and then she sighed and lay down on her bed again.
“Ha…. Yeah, she probably didn’t come in anyway. Would you like to date a girl like me?”
Seong Soo-ah gives up on accessing her and decides to put her clothes on her bed to sleep.
But once awake, her mind was clear, and her worries grew more and more condensed and got on her nerves.
‘… What should I do if he is inside?’
She was worried about meeting her face, but on the other hand, she began to worry that her opponent would wait.
‘… I just need to look at my friends list.’
Seong Soo-ah, wearing her clothes, caressed her VR headgear as if she were handling her baby, and she put it on her head and started connecting.
The moment she connected, the uncomfortable feeling of the clothes she felt through her body was released, and she began to feel the warmth as if a warm cloth was wrapped around her.
She thought to herself as she felt that way.
‘It’s a more comfortable reality than reality….’
Her biggest reason for falling in love with VR was the ease with which she could experience the experiences she craved in real life.
Even those without abilities could use their abilities, and even in the semi-basement, where no light could reach them, they could taste the bright sun and live a grand life.
Although the reality is that it is difficult for people who live such a life to hold a device like this in the first place….
Seong Su-ah has her abilities, and she is enjoying a happy life under the clear sky.
There was something that Seong Soo-ah didn’t have.
Family.
The most important and basic affiliation for human beings.
Sung Soo-ah lacked that belonging.
And the person who almost made up for it in her life was Cho Kang-hyeon.
‘I was definitely in a good mood when I saw her brother today. By the way….’
But in the end, Cho Kang-hyeon did not fill her deficiency and made her feel even more lonely.
And the real existence that filled her deficiency appeared.
‘Why, when Instructor Seong Soo-ho is here….’
As she thought so, she slowly opened her eyes.
Seong Soo-ah, who thought to check only her friends list, skipped that process and connected directly to the Animal Village game.
‘I’m sure you won’t be there. Just… Let’s sleep here alone.’
Seong Soo-ah, who said she would only check, was fascinated by the environment of the animal village and started looking for her house.
Even if she was lonely, she wanted to lie in her bed even if she relived her memories of sleeping with him.
She was so the moment she arrived home.
“Cool… Cool….”
“Yes?”
The sound of someone sleeping soundly came from the side of the house under the dark sky.
Seong Soo-ah shook her head and started to walk towards her house.
‘Nope… There’s no way he’s there.’
But as her negative thoughts increased more and more, she began to see someone sleeping curled up in front of the door.
‘No way….’
And when she got to her house, the sight of her child washed away all negative thoughts.
“Sung Soo-ho… Instructor?”
“Huh… ? Ah… Instructor Seong Soo-ah.”
Little Seong Soo-ho, who was sleeping curled up at the voice of Seong-su-ah, woke up and rubbed her eyes and began to stand up quietly.
Seong Su-ho struggled to get up and looked up at Seong-su-ah with her sleepy eyes and opened her mouth.
“I thought you weren’t coming today because you were tired.”
“Ah….”
Seong Soo-ah cried as she hugged Seong Soo-ho, who was rubbing her eyes while looking up at herself.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
“Yes? Why, why are you like that? What are you doing?”
“No… No.”
Seong Soo-ah hugged the bewildered Seong Soo-ho and cried for a long time before she calmed down and came to her senses.
‘… Also can’t be without I don’t think I can survive without Instructor Seong Su-ho.’
Seong Su-ho became a figure in the center of her heart without realizing it.
Seong Soo-ah saw Seong Su-ho looking at her in bewilderment and began to apologize.
“I’m sorry…. I was too tired to come in.”
Haha. It’s okay. It’s a game in the first place, but you may not be able to enter. I came in and fell asleep.”
“Instructor Sung Soo-ho. Then….”
Seong Soo-ah said after deep thought of her, as she stood up carefully holding his hand.
“You came in anyway… Do you want to sleep together?”
***
“….”
Cho Kang-hyeon was staring at her window endlessly with emotionless eyes and expressions.
As soon as he entered the dormitory penthouse, he did not move his fingertips and just stared out the window in the living room.
After staring at him endlessly, he lifted up his right hand and grasped it, then began repeating his piggy.
He did a few repetitions of squeezing and piggybacking, then suddenly began to make a big grip, furrowing his eyebrows and showing displeasure.
“… She said there was an obstruction, but she never thought she would stick with the two of them.”
After leaving such an incomprehensible word, Kanghyeon Cho turned around and started to walk away from the window.
However, before he could completely separate himself from the window, he turned his head once more and looked at the black sky beyond the window.
“If you bother me more, I’ll have to kill you.”
He said his last words and headed for the bedroom.
