Chapter 148 – Characters
Han Ye-rin, sitting in her seat, gazes at me.
“Taeho… Do you like sweets?”
“Sweets?”
I don’t hate it. Tolerably, I only eat foods that won’t harm my muscles with protein. But that doesn’t mean skipping the food at all. As she nodded, Han Ye-rin smiled brightly.
“I knew… No. I’m glad I thought I only liked meat.”
“That’s not it.”
“I… I really like sweets. Maybe it’s because of my natural appetite, sweet food has never run out of my mouth since I was young.”
Han Ye-rin nodded, and the servant brought bread and snacks. An unheard of snack is put on the table. Drinks come in and fill the table.
“Today, I just called because I wanted to be with you. I didn’t call to bully you like in the past. I wanted to be by Taeho’s side… I wanted to bring him to the bakery I frequent. By any chance, isn’t it uncomfortable…?”
Han Ye-rin asks in a worried tone. She will be anxious Wasn’t he brought here by force, maybe he didn’t like it, but he was forced to come – that’s probably the reason.
“It’s not uncomfortable.”
“Whew… I’m glad. More than that, it’s okay to stop using honorifics… Are you going to continue using them?”
I ask, wiggling her fingers.
“Would you prefer not to use it?”
“Yes. Personally, Joe, if you use honorific words, it feels a little… It seems like you came on a duty.”
It is true that it is compulsory.
To be honest, I don’t want to stop using honorifics. For me, a sense of distance with Han Ye-rin is in line with a sense of security. When I look at you, I can see that you really want something. Han Ye-rin sips her drink without saying anything and makes eye contact with a glance.
“Do you like quitting?”
“Yes, yes!”
As her short tongue pops out of her mouth, Han Ye-rin happily nods her head.
“I was a little, a little jealous… Han Seol-ah and Lee A-rin treated me in short language, so it seemed like I was the only one who was far away…”
It’s true that only you are far away.
“I want to be treated normally…”
“…”
I thought she was low and thick, but it’s more than I imagined. She doesn’t want to be approached, to be honest. He’s a disgusting person to look at, but who wants to treat him normally? Still, you have to do it.
She answers while chewing the bread on the table.
“Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since we met, but I don’t know your taste.”
Swallow the bread
“Do you have a favorite movie or something?”

We only talked for a while. We talked without thinking. Every time she speaks, Yerin Han’s face brightens, and in the end, her smile is in full bloom, and she is completely blissful.
‘No, they say they like it this much?’
She doesn’t think much of it and she just likes to talk. I can feel the gradual narrowing of the relationship between her, as if she stopped using honorifics and treated her like a friend. Until just a moment ago, the feeling of a master-servant relationship was strong, but now it feels like a friend when others see it.
She realizes that she is thirsty for being treated normally. When I ask her if she’s not going to treat anyone else like this, she says, ‘I don’t even want to go near idiots who smile and stick knives in the back’, she says in disgust.
Certainly, it would have been shocking even in Han Ye-rin’s position to rush at her and bite her just because she showed a slight weakness.
‘I slept on my back and were betrayed together, so who can I get along with?’
It is also because of this that the pool of human relations has become extremely narrow. In Han Ye-rin’s words, it’s called ‘unintentional pruning’… From a third person’s point of view, it doesn’t look like pruning, but stemming. The breadth of her relationship has shrunk abnormally. It’s only natural that my seemingly normal relationship becomes precious.
‘I don’t need an unlikely relationship.’
Even her followers, led by Han Ye-rin, disintegrated all by herself. It could be said that she was isolated. In fact, it is only natural that they expect more from me, who is the only remaining relationship.
We talked for about an hour or so.
“So… What are you going to do with my girlfriend in America?”
Bringing up the main topic of the day. When ‘girlfriend’ came out of her mouth, Han Ye-rin’s shoulders trembled. Her quivering lips are unusual.
“Cow, I won’t even touch your finger, so don’t worry!”
“Really? Seriously? Let’s say this later-“
“I don’t mean any harm.”
Han Ye-rin asserts with a serious expression on her face. Even so, she is a little suspicious as she rolls her eyes slightly. What?
“In the first place, there is no way I would ever touch the woman or girlfriend of the person I cherish the most. Even if I die, I have no intention of harming you, so don’t worry. .”
“…”
“Now I… I’m different from then. At least I know how to make sense of things. I know that if you touch my girlfriend, Tae Ho will cause a fight. I know that all relationships will end in the end. I, as much as I can with you. Because I want to be friends.”
Han Ye-rin takes her drink to her mouth. She puts down the cup she was sipping on, and she looks at me with serious eyes.
“I don’t want to touch her hair.”
Han Ye-rin gets anxious when I don’t answer.
“Hey, shall I kneel here? I mean, I’m serious…!”
Get up from her seat and immediately try to get on her knees. She panicked and said that it was okay, she said that she knew, and then she sat down and caught her breath.
“Trust me…”
She tries to reassure her somehow. She has no way to prove it properly, and she is not the type of person who earns Han Ye-rin’s approval even at the cost of herself, so she silently nods her head.
“Okay.”
It’s too soon to find out within today. You have to watch slowly and be sure, you can’t know in just one day. It seems sincere to feel right now, but who knows if this will suddenly change and bring her wrist.
He shoved the bread into her mouth and looked at her.
A little more… Let’s wait a little longer. Swallowing bread and sipping a drink, a text arrives. Jin So-yoon?
– Do you have any more questions?
Huh?

I feel like I’m going to stop breathing.
I like tae ho I love tae ho
Because I know right away that Taeho hates me… No, he hates me. Even though we are approaching each other as friends. You can’t hide this heart forever.
We had endless conversations at the bakery today.
“Huh…”
My heart pounds at the words that come and go without incident, her cheeks turn red, and I feel so happy that we have become lovers. Until the moment she returned home, she couldn’t control her emotions.
“If you keep doing this…”
You have hope
A field of flowers unfolds in her mind. Foolishly, imagine a fruitful future. If you keep doing this over and over again, you’ll come to expect it…!
As if breaking down the wall in my heart, he treats me friendly. Every action feels great.
All existing relationships have been wiped out, and now the only remaining human relationship is Tae-ho… All you have to do is focus on Tae-ho.
Just look at Taeho.
All you have to do is think about Tae Ho.
You only need to love Taeho.
You only need to lean on Taeho.
Kim Seok-hyeon It’s been a long time since I cut ties with the sick bird. He’s pretending to be a lover externally, but that fucker… Ha. He doesn’t even want to see his face. Because he’s small and narrow-minded like a cock, and he can’t soothe a girl.
Ah… I want to be by Taeho’s side a little longer, a little longer.
“Ha…”
I lie down on the bed, wrapping my hands around my red-hot cheeks. When he thinks of how they treat each other well, his heart pounds.
“My girlfriend… Won’t even touch it.”
Because I know better than anyone else that a relationship can go to the brink of collapse if touched. I don’t want to touch one of his fingertips. No, I’m already touching it… Ha ha. He won’t end up being a little angry if he finds out that he’s blocking his return.
But, it can’t be helped.
Because when Yoo Seo-ha comes back, everything is over.
This is a conclusion that was reached after several discussions between the temporary alliances. When the girlfriend comes back, it’s all over.
You can’t touch it, you can’t harm it. I can’t help but watch you play around. Naturally, we grow farther apart, and everything comes to an end. It’s the same reason that other stars hide in front of the sun and can’t come out.
When your girlfriend comes back, it’s game over.
In the meantime… Everything needs to be sorted out. He must win Tae-ho’s heart… And rise to the position of a lover. By all means.
“Yes, sex was… Forbidden.”
It’s great that I can’t have sex anymore. Because this was actually the first time Taeho made up his mind and spoke out.
Even if you know that your body leans slightly on our side. I’m saying you can’t use this. It’s a pity, but there’s no other option when the backlash is so strong. Today is like this… Just for yourself.
Her fingers run up against her pussy. His fingers, which moved between spurts, licked his pussy like a substitute for a thick, bulky cock. And yet… Yet still unsatisfactory.
It’s already become a body that can’t go without Tae-ho’s cock.
I want to have sex right now, but I have no choice but to hold it in. It’s hard… But if it’s for a relationship, you can sacrifice this kind of sexual desire.
…Having sex doesn’t mean the relationship is completely ruined. Tae Ho has already emphasized this several times. I don’t want to break up with you guys. I just want to maintain a relationship as a ‘friend’, not a ‘sex party’. It just draws the line.
What we are concerned about is ‘distance’, not ruin caused by sex. You can eat it if you want to. But then the relationship goes away. This is unbearable.
I want to get closer even just a little bit… But I’m far away! I can’t stand it.
“I don’t want to fall.”
It’s a little bit of a relief, but… Well. Weird.
If it was Taihu in the past, the line would have been drawn right away, and if it crossed, it would have been called insulation. Strangely, the part I hated the most softened the most. I’ve heard that it’s gotten a bit more tedious…
“Ha…”
Is it a green light? I don’t know.
I want to get all of Taeho’s body and mind. Right now I don’t know anything other than that. When I close my eyes, I see Taeho.
“…Love you.”
Taeho, I only have you.
“…Love you.”
Only you. I only love you. If it’s for you, I can give my body and mind… Everything. Just, if you want to. As far as my strength goes, I can make anything I want come true.
Whether it’s your goal, your future, your wealth, your honor, your greed and ideals… They can all come true. Because I have the power to do that.
I love you, I love you madly, Taeho.
“Whoa…”
The delusion ends. A sense of wonder creeps in. At the same time, a surge of anticipation surges up and fills her chest. Emotions like a muddy stream overflow, giving strength to an incomprehensible delusion.
I keep looking forward to it…
She groans as she presses her face into the pillow. Will you treat me the same as tomorrow, tomorrow? After muttering incomprehensible words, my eyes close.

I watched Han Ye-rin for the rest of the weekend. As if you know that I’m fed up with killing people, not a single missing person appears in the academy. I have never seen anyone offended by saying that she made her necklace with her fingers.
Two days passed, three days passed.
It’s Thursday. Maybe I’m intentionally narrowing the distance. Seol-ah and Lee Je-ga’s sisters, Han Ye-rin, cling to me. Again, it happened like a pattern for me to widen the distance.
Between that moment. The four approached me like lovers.
The way he cares about me, cares for me, and likes me. He spent every day enduring the offensive that would have been overcome by a normal man.
I thought I was going to get eaten once in the middle… But as if everyone had promised, they didn’t even pay attention to my cock. Fortunately out of misfortune
I know what I like and where I got it, and take care of it whenever I need it. If the instant magic formula isn’t enough for Seola, everyone joins in and helps somehow. Gearco finished it.
For some reason, one out of every four people I meet on the road is stuck, and when I wake up, I’m playing with them.
Explicit skinship has long since disappeared, and it seems that he falls into lust in the middle… But somehow bear with it. Doesn’t do anything offensive. Skinship is enough to hold hands or touch with fingers.
He constantly whispers love, and constantly seduces me.
Not with the body, but with the mind.
A lot of dense things happened in just four days. Most of them are group actions to win my heart. Sometimes it comes quietly, sometimes it comes openly.
Of course, I have no intention of giving my heart away.
Because I can’t think of any other woman besides my girlfriend.
In the middle, I also talked to my girlfriend on the phone.
‘I don’t know why Dad hates me so much!’
Most of them were full of anger… But still, we contacted and exchanged conversations with each other. More than one year in the future. No, it became a daily routine to quit after worrying that it might be delayed for more than two years.
‘As expected… It’s also strange. Daddy has something.’
Seoha did not give up. Realizing that things were going strangely… I exerted myself a little. I was curious about why, why, why did he bother me so much… I contacted Jin So-yoon.
Also, Han Ye-rin realized that she really had no intention of hurting anyone.
A girl who would drown a few people at the slightest mistake. I came back as a human. Really, thoroughly, I don’t do anything I don’t like.
The fact that Han Ye-rin has changed is shocking, but what’s even more shocking is…
That no one wants to eat me. When they’re around, the cock stands up habitually, but when I see this, I don’t even want to eat it, let alone eat it.
Even though I feel relieved to think I said it right… Something… I’m uncomfortable. Something a little…
No.
Good would be good
“Ha…”
Come to think of it, it’s Friday.
The color practice is right around the corner.
“‘Searching’ means finding the enemy.”
The professor puts his back to the mountain behind him and clears his throat.
“Generally, the ‘spirit’ of a monster becomes less intense as the distance increases, making it harder to feel it. If you’re this far away, it’s difficult to react immediately, so when a ‘high-risk monster’ appears, it’s difficult to reinforce it. Everyone is this much. Do you know?”
All the 2nd year cadets gathered in one place and nodded. The smell of grass brushing in the wind makes you guess that this place is in a fairly deep mountain valley.
“So, most of the knights share their location using ‘Searching Artifacts’ with a notification function… But all Knights who have completed the Academy learn Searching Magic. Does anyone know why?”
The Wind Blows. The fallen leaves roll over like waves, creating a whirlpool. Silence. When I try to raise my hand, he answers quickly with one step from far away.
“It’s still inaccurate… And. There are monsters hiding their spirit…”
“That’s correct.”
A stocky gray monster in the distance. Seol-ah looks at me and smiles.
“The search artifact is still inaccurate. The search enemy eats a lot of mana and the circuit overheats. It’s because of the monster hiding it.”
The professor lightly sighed.
“There are monsters that instinctively hide their spirit, similar to how they were in the sewer.
“It’s like a stealth machine from the monster realm. After thousands of battles, nothing has yet come out to destroy it other than the ‘Searching Magic’. That’s why I’m practicing it.”
The professor brings a lottery box.
“Now, everyone, pay attention. See the box here?”
Everyone nods.
“The search practice is conducted in teams, not individuals. From now on, pair up two consecutively selected students, and here. Go into the back mountain, kill low-risk monsters, and bring back the crafted magic stones.”
“There is an extra point for the team with the smallest magic stone. Come back before the sun goes down. You can use all abilities except cheating. I hope you do your best.”
Pair up with each other, kill the monsters, and bring the crafted magic stone inside. Exhale under conditions that are not as difficult as you think. For me, as long as I don’t end up on the same team as Han Ye-rin, that’s enough.
“…”
When I look at Han Ye-rin next to me with a sidelong glance, she smiles awkwardly. Really… It’s okay as long as it’s not on the same team. When the professor calls names in order and the names are filled up to 3 teams.
“Kim Tae-ho.”
Finally my name came out. Close your eyes and meditate for a while.
‘Please please! Like the last time, a team like Han Ye-rin… Please don’t do it!’
Please please!
“And… Han Ye-rin.”
Ah.
Cursing rises to the end of the neck. The trembling eyelids deny reality. Next to me, Han Ye-rin is delighted and doesn’t know what to do with her body.
“It’s the same team.”
“Ah yes.”
“…Are you okay?”
“Yes…”
I feel like I’m going to stop breathing
This fuck.
Not okay at all. I managed to hold on to my mind that was about to go out, and took a deep breath. Did Han Ye-rin manipulate it? If you have the same trivial doubts… The whole team is organized before you know it.
“It’s a 10-minute break. When the break is over, pay off all your cellphones and return the artifacts. All right.”
Rest. As soon as I heard the words, the cadets spread out. I can’t stand my troubled heart either, so I leave for a while.
“Ha…”
I really don’t know why things work out this way. Could it be a fate foretold by the sky? When we make a team, Han Ye-rin sticks together.
As I sigh against a wooden pole, my phone rings. Picture?
“Ah.”
This is the appearance of the monster to be caught this time. Just looking at his chin, it was small, about the size of an adult male’s fist. Instead of slow feet, it is possible to become invisible, so you have to rely entirely on scavenger magic.
Check it out and put your phone in your pocket. It vibrates again.
“Huh?”
– Taeho, can I contact you for a second? Haven’t you started testing yet?
It’s an unknown character. No, it’s Jin So-yoon. I asked what was going on. A reply comes right away.
– No, you asked me to tell you that you don’t know why your girlfriend is late the other day.
I definitely remember that.
– Check it
A document arrives.
“Two minutes until exam!”
The professor starts calling the cadets together. For some reason, I don’t think I can confirm it now or later. Hurry up and open the document.
Fallen leaves flutter in the strong north wind.
“…”
“…Under.”
