167 – [3] If you take it by force……
#167
Clatter.
I passed through a poorly maintained road.
I sighed at the sight of a city without even tall buildings.
“Arrived at Caguas. Now, can we just go to Ponce like this?”
Cheonma-ri asked me a question.
Of course I should have answered ‘yes’, but seeing the shaking car made it impossible for me to do so.
I motioned to Cheonma-ri to stop the car in the corner for a moment.
I told Ines to wait for a moment and Cheonma-ri to get off.
“Huh? “Is there any problem?”
“A little? Because it’s not that serious of a problem. Wait for a while.”
The car door was closed and the car was dragged towards the alley.
As we stood in an alley with eaves to avoid the rain, Cheonma-ri raised her eyebrows.
“Well, do you have something to say secretly?”
“I thought about it again. “I think it would be difficult to drive that car back to Arecibo.”
“You say you can’t go back?”
“Yes, I think it would be right to just scrap the car before entering Arecibo.”
She took off her license plate, but she had been driving in that condition for too long.
If someone had taken a picture of it, it could have been traced, or even if not, it could have been traced due to the fact that it had a bullet in it.
“The possibility is small, though. “It might be possible.”
“So then. “It’s a bit shameless, but I think I need your help one more time.”
Only she can help.
It is better not to know Ines as much as possible.
Because of this, there was no shame.
Even if he did some villainous things, coming to save him would have been an effort of his own.
After receiving help like that, I am receiving help once more here.
They even pointed out and criticized him, so how could this be a forbidden thing?
So, although it wasn’t a very bad attitude, I expected a fairly harsh attitude.
“Umm~”
One step closer.
Her pretty appearance stood out in the rain, and in that state, she placed her hands on both of my shoulders.
“Hey, I have no shame about something like that~”
Smiled like a cat.
He tapped her on both shoulders as if telling her to gain confidence.
“I’ve often said this to you. Do you know what I value most in interpersonal relationships?”
“Acquaintance?”
“Acquaintance, that is correct. “Narrow it down a little more.”
Because he is a guy who turns his words around a lot.
There was nothing in particular that caught my eye.
As I stared in silence, the thousand birds took one step closer.
“It’s blood ties, school ties, and local ties.”
A three-piece set that forms the basis of human society.
Of course, in a good way, it was the foundation, but in a bad way, it was a disease.
Because it was one of the representative collectivist tendencies that became a hotbed of corruption.
“We went to the same school almost since elementary school, so we have school ties, we’ve always lived in the same area, so we have regional ties, and blood ties…” … “Let’s just say it is because we are of the same race.”
“…… So?”
“You have everything I value.”
As if it were his everything.
Cheonma-ri exhaled very confidently.
“A friend like that is asking for something, so of course I have to do it no matter what. “Jiangshi, what do you want to ask me?”
“Ah…… Just a junk car. “I was going to ask the Nartica staff to do it for me.”
If we go, we might get stepped on.
Even if it was sold at a low price, I wanted someone else to take care of the junk car for me.
“Right now?”
“Right now. “Nothing good will come of holding it for too long anyway.”
“It’s not as grand as I thought. “Do you have any other request?”
“I would be grateful if you could dispose of the stolen clothes for me.”
It was simple, but that was the end.
I didn’t want anything more, and once I got to that point in this case, there was nothing more to do.
A poor request that goes against what you confidently and cheesily said.
It seemed a bit odd, but she nodded as if she understood.
She felt a little moved because it meant that she would do it anyway.
Hide those feelings and turn around to head out of the alley.
Sweet─
Both hands were suddenly pushed under the chin and to the side of the neck.
Immediately, a thousand birds hugged me.
The action happened the moment I was about to leave the alley because there was no more conversation to be had.
In many ways, it felt like it was unexpected.
“Marie?”
However, that was not always the case.
As I had been looking over there for a long time, I had an intuitive feeling that it was not just a sudden attack.
The hug that crushed her chest meant that she wanted to carefully say something.
This is something so serious that I want to say it under the rain.
Perhaps, just like what I had just asked, Cheonma-ri also had something to ask for.
Sure enough, someone’s breath reached my ear.
“Then I can eat everything in the safe?”
“… ….”
That’s right.
It’s not that I’m shameless, it’s that this bastard is shameless.
The deep emotion created by friendship seemed to have been shriveled into pettiness.
Even when I looked pretty for a while in the rain, I started to feel like a dog.
“6 To 4.”
“Uh-huh, I’m the one who brought it. 9 To 1.”
An argument like any other began.
* * *
“When are you coming?”
The two people do not return even after waiting for a long time.
Ines sat comfortably in the backseat of her car and looked around her.
All I could see was rain, and only water droplets fell through the cracks of the broken window.
The entire city seemed to be submerged under water, and the quiet sight seemed to send a chill to the core.
Naturally, as this situation continued, the request to stay in the car gradually took a backseat.
Ines got out of the car feeling an inexplicable strangeness and fear.

‘Maybe something happened?’
I have a feeling that if fog comes in here, there will be no turning back.
Ines picked up the spear and hurried out to find the two people.
‘I definitely remember going like this and entering an alley… ….’
She stuck her head out through an alley she came across while walking.
She carefully looked down the alley, and at the end of it, a man and woman were standing kindly.
‘Huh?’
However, he was standing too kindly.
The sight of them hugging each other and talking, rather than just looking at each other, gave an idea of their closeness.
It was quite a bitter sight for a southerner who had lived as a single person since birth.
And the scene could not be summed up simply as bitterness.
‘What on earth…? … ‘Wait a minute, isn’t that a cutie?’
Gianxian and Cheonmali.
I was mesmerized by the sight of the two people embracing each other.
“8 To 2. “I can never yield more than this.”
“Only 2 to the person who cleared the road and told us the location? “Please look at the conscience of the granddaughter of a chaebol family.”
“You don’t have a conscience. “I’m the one who carried the world on my back, so how can you ask for 3?”
“Hey, I heard there are more people. After all, there is nothing wrong with the old saying. Hey, just make it 7 to 3.”
A heart-pounding battle in the dark for control.
But the words were all in Korean.
‘Two, what are you two talking about?’
Ines doesn’t understand at all.
If I had known the content of the conversation, I would have moved on, but since I did not know Korean, my head was filled with distorted thoughts.
The conversation that followed turned into nervousness.
Every action turned into denial.
Boom!
This was around the time when negotiations finally broke down and a thousand horses were pushed against the wall.
Kang Xian’s actions made Ines bite her lip.
‘What on earth is the relationship between the two…? … Wait a minute, are you sure they are lovers?’
If you think about it rationally, it was like that.
The same goes for skinship, because in the first place, there is virtually no one other than family and lovers who would run to a dangerous place.
So, for Ines, the preceding scene was a shock itself.
What she thought she was trying to hold on to, turned out to be someone else’s.
It was a reality where my whole body was shaking and my vision became dark.
My breathing gradually became heavier, and I collapsed to the floor.
In the end, I came to one question among various delusions and thoughts.
“Why?”
If you have a girlfriend like that, you wonder why she asked you for a favor.
I couldn’t even imagine what the intention was for that and why he even said he would grant my wish.
Just to play with yourself?
‘But that doesn’t mean we often bump into each other.’
Are you trying to dump your girlfriend and change her?
‘The relationship looks so good, but is that possible?’
Actually, something other than a girlfriend?
‘It is persuasive. But is it possible to do that unless you are a lover?’
I didn’t know.
Everything was uncertain.
In the end, he took out his cell phone with his trembling hands.
To be more confident in my judgment, I turned on the translator and picked up the voice in the alley.
The long conversation has begun to be translated.
Although it was a bit jumbled, it wasn’t so much that it was unrecognizable.
“80%? 20%? “What are you talking about?”
Of course, it was in English so I could understand it, but I couldn’t understand it.
The long transcript did not help the conclusion, but only added to the confusion.
As I was testing the limits of my reading comprehension, I was faced with the option of giving up.
Just before I hit the back button, an uncharacteristic conversation caught my eye.
[But who is that person who looks South American?]
[Ah, just someone I know.]
It was short, but it was an accurate statement that revealed her location.
Ines lamented that in those two lines, it was as if she had encountered a wall she could not overcome.
“Were they just ordinary acquaintances?” ….”
Her own position was just as she thought she was.
She was just an ordinary acquaintance, neither an enemy nor a friend.
It was much better than her illusion that she was playing with it.
It was a somewhat depressing position, and the fact that there was a lover on the other side did not change, so all I could do was sigh over and over again.
She stood up from her seat with gloom.
As she moved her legs to walk back to the car, a thought crossed her mind.
‘…… But is this right?’
At best, he was an oriental person with an ear to the ground.
These were common things in East Asia, and they were things with low blood flowing through them.
Those who have abandoned the purity of the people of Earth and the faith of Christ.
There was no reason to watch, obsess, or stress about their animal-like daily lives.
Of course, there is no need to feel this way…….
‘No, no.’
…… I didn’t know there would be.
What can she do if her eyes keep falling on the object she discriminates against?
This was her karma and a matter of contradictory emotions.
Because of this, Inés mentally gave up all her thoughts of winning and feeling comfortable.
Anyway, no matter what she imagined, she was only dishonoring herself.
She stumbled and got into the car.
She stared at the ceiling, hiding her reddening eyes without realizing it.
Just a few minutes.
I slowly looked back on the past without any meaning.
And she forgot for a moment.
I thought of an ultimate goal.
“A strong person?”
Her current and her own goals.
It doesn’t seem to have much to do with the current situation, but that was something she had always looked at narrowly.
“If you become strong, anything is possible…… “Is it okay?”
She now has a way to get rid of the emotions she feels.
It was about satisfying desires through power.
“If you take it by force…… Enough… ….”
It is radical and extreme, but such cases were abundant in the southern hunter world to begin with.
It was said that it was not an outfit that suited her, a southerner with sound thoughts, and her cadet who wanted to become a hunter.
There was nothing I couldn’t do.
She didn’t know exactly where the relationship would go, but it was clear that she could look beyond the present.
“I need a way to get stronger quickly.”
Ines swallowed her saliva.
The fact that her own face was red and her eyes were wandering was a conclusion she had made without even realizing it.
