92 – Where are you (7)
Han Yu-jeong pondered for a long time.
Even an idiot could tell that Dyce’s nerves were focused on Luna.
I muttered the name ‘Luna’ while fighting yesterday, and I still ask about Luna.
Perhaps even the appearance of Dice, which had been hidden for so long, might have been because of Luna.
Because Luna was a member of the Villain Alliance.
“……”
Han Yu-jeong looked at Dice quietly.
his blazing. Again, those sad eyes shook her.
I don’t even know why I’m doing this… but funny enough, I got jealous.
It was his eyes that he had never seen before returning.
Like a dead person, the eyes were always looking elsewhere.
I tried so hard to catch his eye.
I wanted to be so friendly.
And again, we often met face to face.
He doesn’t even remember, but he’s been asking about Luna like that.
“……You don’t answer?”
Dyce threatened.
Han Yu-jeong swallows her saliva while overcoming his pressure.
Even if I just answered innocently here, I couldn’t get close to him.
I had to do something.
“……I will answer. instead.”
‘instead’. Dyce’s eyebrows twitched at the word.
Han Yu-jeong averted her eyes to avoid being frightened any longer. It would have been better not to see it.
It was a gambler. A gambler who relies on Dice’s hidden kindness.
If he was going to treat him badly, he would have done it yesterday when he broke Trino and the rest of the crew.
Han Yu-jung’s voice trembles. She said.
“…Instead, let’s say it’s an exchange.”
“…what?”
“I will answer the questions Dyce wants, so please answer my questions too.”
Dyce put down the bread bag and burst out laughing.
“…can’t you understand the situation?”
“I’m doing this because it’s going well.”
She said.
“…You’re going to… hand me over to the Association anyway, right? I have nothing to lose.”
“…”
“That’s why…since we regressed together…since I have a lot of questions, Dice should also answer them.”
“…….”
It was a ruse. A ploy to become friends with him.
I wanted to be close to him.
“…What if you don’t like it?”
Dyce asks.
“…then I won’t answer either. It’s not that difficult in the first place, is it? Is it that hard to exchange questions?”
“…………”
Han Yoo-jung saw Dice’s eyes tremble.
It was very easy to see that he was desperate.
After a long silence, Dyce sighed.
Then he nodded briefly.
“……”
Han Yu-jeong suppressed a smile that leaked out.
Then he said
“Ask first.”
“Is Luna also a regressor?”
he asked without hesitation.
Han Yoo-jung did not lightly answer questions.
Answering his questions, I tried to figure out the relationship between Luna and Dyce.
The two had no relationship before returning.
In the first place, Dice worked alone, so there were not many people he had a relationship with.
So, judging by that question…Dice seems to have built a new relationship with Luna.
Also, Dyce must have been hiding his identity.
So I’m asking that question.
I was wondering if Luna also knew the villain called ‘Dice’.
Han Yoo-jung answered carefully.
“…I don’t know.”
Dice’s expression crumpled.
“….you…”
Han Yu-jeong added quickly.
“I’m not trying to give a rough answer. It may be, or it may not be.”
“…”
“There was no sign of regression in front of me. But maybe I was hiding it well.”
“…”
At her words that followed, Dice’s expression softened once.
Then he nodded as if he understood.
It was like asking a question.
Han Yu-jung’s heart beats.
What question should I ask?
Hundreds of questions that I wanted to ask someday swim in my head.
But in the end I made a decision.
Also, this is what I was most curious about.
“………what’s your name?”
“…”
Han Yoo-jung said earnestly, hoping that her sincerity would reach her.
Jung-gyeom looked at Han Yoo-jung with a puzzled expression.
Yujeong Han added an explanation.
“I’m not trying to investigate. I’m being held here anyway. I’m really curious. Because I knew nothing but dice…”
“…….ha.”
Dyce was silent for a long time.
Han Yoo-jung raised the number of gamblers again.
“…If you don’t answer, I won’t answer anymore. Torture, kill, whatever.”
Dyce’s eyes close at her words.
he finally said
“……Jeong-gyeom.”
“……….uh…?”
“I’m Jeonggyeom.”
Take a moment to ponder the name.
Han Yoo-jung couldn’t help but think of that familiar name.
‘Jeong-gyeom’ was the name Luna used when threatening Solas a few days ago.
*****
Song Soo-yeon went out into the street.
Maybe I waited for Jeonggyeom for several days.
2 days? 3 days?
But now I know.
Jeong-gyeom doesn’t come back.
he left
After admitting it, my heart felt lighter.
The heavy pain in my chest was gone.
I didn’t feel anything.
No tears came out, no sadness.
It just returned to the original world.
It’s just that he’s returned to a world without Jeong-gyeom.
No, actually thinking about it made it better.
There was a time when I dreamed of this moment.
When you don’t have money, you can’t even fill your stomach.
When I went to school that was like hell to eat lunch.
When I crawled into the house where my addict parents lived to avoid freezing to death.
Back then, I had dreamed of this moment so much.
I wish I could get away from school and from home.
I hoped and hoped that I could earn money myself.
Look now.
It’s been a long time since I left school and home.
There is no shortage of money.
Isn’t it the same as you dreamed of?
It is safe to say that the dream has come true.
So there was no reason to be sad.
Jeong-gyeom should be forgotten.
You can live by forgetting about it.
Song Soo-yeon quietly checked the money in her bank account… and headed to the beauty salon.
What was left was money, so I thought to spend that money.
the beautician asks
“Oh my, you are so pretty. What kind of hair would you like?”
Song Soo-yeon did not hesitate to request an expensive perm and treatment.
The price exceeded hundreds of thousands of won, but it was a pittance to her now.
I didn’t even think it was worth it.
Because this was her new life.
When her hair became more beautiful than ever before, Song Soo-yeon thought.
Jeong-gyeom, who missed this day, would regret it. see now That no one can take their eyes off you
In fact, if you think about it, yes.
She has a lot of money and is prettier than anyone else. He also has powerful psychic powers.
But Jeong-gyeom… he looks ordinary and is poor. it’s a hogu
It was clear which one was worse.
After paying the bill, she headed to the department store.
It was the department store I had been to for Jeong-gyeom’s present before, but not anymore.
I was thinking of spending money on myself.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to buy anything.
I found it from a luxury high heels store.
I’m tired of wearing worn-out shoes.
I wanted to decorate myself with beautiful heels.
“Which shoes are you looking for?”
As Song Soo-yeon approaches, the waiter asks.
Song Soo-yeon did not hesitate to choose the heel that stood out the most.
The price was ridiculously over 1 million won, but I didn’t care.
“I will give you credit.”
The waiter spoke kindly.
Song Soo-yeon silently sat on a small stool and looked down at her feet.
“…………”
For a moment, her heart hardened.
The ones worn on my feet were the sneakers Jeong-gyeom gave me as a gift.
The day I tried to jump off the roof, when my shoes were all torn and off.
He gave it to me to report to school the next day.
For a moment, there was a stir in the heart… but the agitation died so easily that it was absurd.
I felt nothing again.
Song Soo-yeon roughly throws off the shoes Jeong-gyeom gave her.
“……”
The waitress was surprised for a moment, but soon Song Soo-yeon’s feet were wearing beautiful heels just like hers.
Song Soo-yeon finishes the payment as it is.
As I was about to leave the store, a waitress jumped up from behind and said,
“Oh, you left this!”
When Song Soo-yeon turned around, the waitress put the sneakers Jung-gyeom had gifted her in a plastic bag with the logo of a luxury brand and handed it to her.
“……”
Song Soo-yeon blinked softly and said. Mouth moved impulsively.
“………… Throw it away.”
But it didn’t feel like a wrong choice.
It’s Jeong-gyeom, whom we won’t see anymore anyway, so what’s the point of having his traces?
She continued shopping.
I also throw away the gray sportswear jumper I bought when I was in school and that I wore every time I went for a walk with Jeong-gyeom.
Instead, I bought a luxury coat and wrapped it around my body.
Besides knit. pants. skirt. etc…
I started buying clothes one by one that I had only looked at on my phone.
There was nothing new about her body.
Attention continued to be drawn, and someone took pictures.
As long as I couldn’t hear my inner thoughts as well as before, it wasn’t difficult either.
“……”
Then again, her movements stiffened.
The eyes are fixed and do not leave.
At the end of her gaze were those cute children’s items she had seen before.
Shoes, toys, mittens and knitted hats.
Song Soo-yeon’s eyes trembled.
“……”
…But even here we turn a blind eye.
When I opened my eyes, nothing happened again.
It wasn’t painful or difficult.
Song Soo-yeon left the department store with both hands full.
Like the successful women I’ve only seen in dramas, my hands were full of shopping bags.
This was her life now.
Even so, there was no sign of the wealth he possessed.
The next destination was to take a taxi.
The sun went down while we were moving.
She gazed out the window quietly, appreciating the passing scenery.
The destination was a hotel.
It was the hotel I called to come on someone’s birthday.
Song Soo-yeon pays and rents an expensive room.
Bellboys lifted her luggage, and Song Soo-yeon entered the room alone.
It was a stylish and pretty room.
The night view was also more beautiful than anything Song Soo-yeon had ever seen.
It’s a view I didn’t know when I always lived down there day by day.
Without money, I wouldn’t have had this experience.
She blankly gazes at the landscape below.
Then I washed myself, opened my shopping bag, and changed my clothes.
I got excited and headed to the restaurant.
“How old are you?”
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the waitress asked.
“……”
Song Soo-yeon did not answer, so he asked again.
“…How old are you?”
“……One…one.”
Those simple words came out really hard.
The waitress smiled and guided Song Soo-yeon to her seat.
She is seated at a luxurious table with a white tablecloth.
All eyes are on her.
Song Soo-yeon paid no attention to those familiar gazes.
I quietly looked at the night view through the glass next to me.
The high-quality music covered her ears without being burdensome.
A waiter came over.
Song Soo-yeon pointed to a steak on the menu.
After the order was finished, the waitress asked Song Soo-yeon, who was looking at the night view.
“Would you like some wine?”
“……”
wine. At that short word, Song Soo-yeon’s memories squirmed.
The waitress asked again.
“Wine is…”
“Give me the expensive one.”
Song Soo-yeon answered quietly to suppress her memory.
After a few minutes, the food came out.
Put the wine in your mouth and drink it.
And I used a knife and a knife to slice the steak.
The knife cuts through the meat smoothly.
“…”
For a moment, her eyes look the other way.
empty chair.
empty table.
…it was an unfamiliar landscape.
Come to think of it, it was the first time in months that I ate alone.
“……..”
Song Soo-yeon stopped thinking and put the meat in her mouth.
The meat melted in your mouth in an instant.
She nodded slightly.
It was soft.
In the past, I wouldn’t have dared to eat meat like this.
This was her new privilege.
This was her new life.
-Tuk. Toduk.
“…?”
Something falls onto the steak.
-Tutuk, tududuk.
“….ah.”
It was a tear.
Tears that hadn’t come out all day, that I thought had dried up.
My heart didn’t even hurt, but I couldn’t figure out why it came out.
Song Soo-yeon carelessly wiped away the tears with the back of her hand.
“……..”
-To-duk, to-duk, to-duduk.
But the tears wouldn’t stop. It flowed constantly and spilled over the food.
Even wiping it off by hand was not enough.
His expression faded little by little.
“…………Huh…”
Soon, the sound of crying comes out. Like tears, the sound leaks involuntarily.
The power is released from the hand.
A knife and fork fell on the table.
“……Huhhhhh…”
I couldn’t open my eyes any more.
His expression distorted.
My shoulders also started to tremble.
Everyone was watching, but there was nothing they could do.
She had never shown tears to others, but now she couldn’t help it.
She no longer had a shoulder to cry on.
There were no hands to wipe away the tears.
The warmth that had been patting his back was gone.
“Uhhhhh linger…”
The dining table at which I was sitting alone was too wide.
The empty chair was too harsh.
She couldn’t help but know.
The reason I overspended all day was to fill this empty heart.
The reason I filled my hands with shopping bags was because this emptiness didn’t go away no matter how many times I filled it up.
“uncle Uncle……”
I wasn’t happy no matter what.
I wasn’t happy no matter what.
If it was for the voice of Jeong-gyeom, who affectionately calls her name as ‘Soo Yeon-ah’, she could have given all her possessions.
I finally understood Jeong-gyeom’s words about buying happiness when possible.
Money meant nothing to her now.
“Where… where are you…? Ugh…”
She covered her face with both hands.
Tears flowed endlessly.
An unbearable pain came from the chest that had been feeling nothing.
It was such a pain that a pierced heart could only feel.
“Please come back…..uhhhhh i’m so sick…
Song Soo-yeon thought.
In this expensive place, than expensive steaks and expensive wine.
The food Jeong-gyeom served was warmer and more delicious.
Recalling that past that would never return, she continued to cry out loud.
****
“ha…! ha….!”
The time past 12:00 at night.
Song Soo-yeon was down in the basement of the department store where she had shopped all day.
said the custodial agent.
“…you won’t find it. give up and go back Why are you so beautiful…”
Song Soo-yeon did not listen to him.
He was rummaging through a huge pile of garbage with his bare hands.
Clothes, coats, accessories and shoes worth tens of millions of won in total were getting dirty, but I didn’t care.
I had to find it.
But the tears that keep flowing from my eyes blur my vision.
My hands are chapped, and I keep getting hurt.
Even my nails were breaking.
It hurt.
But it was more earnest than that.
“…why…where…where did you go…?”
Song Soo-yeon muttered in the garbage pile that smelled rotten.
I had to find it.
It shouldn’t disappear like this.
I needed the shoes Jeonggyeom gave me.
It shouldn’t be without it.
She was cursing herself for impulsively throwing away her shoes.
“Huh…! Where are you… where are you… where are you!!!”
She screamed and expressed her frustration, but the world did not help her.
As expected, it was clear that the curse had been placed.
No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the shoes.
The basement was dark, and the flashlight the maintenance agent was holding was not very bright.
– Tou. Tou. Tou.
Soon, along with the safety sound, the roar of a large vehicle resonates.
The management staff also clicks their tongue.
He said.
“……The garbage truck is here. I give up.”
“…………”
The strength in Song Soo-yeon’s body was released.
The urge to use my abilities was strong.
But I couldn’t write.
The image of Jeong-gyeom, who was still hurt by himself and leaving, was vivid.
I couldn’t use my abilities anymore.
Did you stand for 10 minutes?
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Garbage trucks cleaned up the garbage.
leaving nothing behind.
Jeong-gyeom’s shoes, which were in it, also became trash and disappeared.
Another trace of him was erased like that.
