104 – Symbol of Peace (1)
“Ugh. Umm…”
Han Jaejoong frowned in front of the mirror and looked around at his eyes.
“It’s sh*t again.”
From behind, Jo Ayun clicked her tongue and reprimanded him as if he was pathetic.
“Have you got the prince’s disease?”
“It’s not like that.”
She was able to look at it once or twice, but she was doing it every time she looked in the mirror, and it was exhausting.
Even she admits that Han Jaejoong has outstanding looks. However, when he degrades it like that, his feelings change. Narcissism is bound to break down no matter what.
“It’s not like that, these are eyes….”
“Do you have an eye disease? “Then do you want to go to the eye doctor later?”
I also write about Jo Ayun’s worries, hmm. He only repeated deep groans of concern and did not show any particular reaction.
“Why are you making such a fuss?”
“Uhm… That’s it. “Let’s get started.”
“Oh.”
In the end, I couldn’t solve a single question and felt uncomfortable moving on. Jo Ayun frowned at Han Jaejoong’s strange behavior.
‘Did I eat something wrong? f*ck….’
Did you eat spoiled food yesterday because you couldn’t control your hunger? If that’s the case, you might as well come to my house and have dinner. Jo Ah-yoon, who knows Han Jae-joong’s financial situation, once again strengthened her resolve to open a cafe.
‘Before I eat anything wrong, I have to take responsibility and make sure I can eat with my own hands…!’
Even after saying let’s leave, Han Jaejoong looked at himself in the mirror as if he felt uneasy. It’s my face that gives me aesthetic satisfaction every time I look at it, but it feels a little different recently.
Ever since his blind left eye was healed by Virgo, the sensation in his left eye has been strange.
‘I don’t think this is just healing.’
Is this a side effect of Virgo’s last starlight? After that, several abnormalities were discovered in the body. The main problem was the left eye.
Virgo’s last good deed, the final magic he sent for himself. That healing power.
Of course, my eyesight is better than my right eye. Sometimes, the colors in the two visions feel different. Should I say that R has become stronger in RGB than in the right field of view? It’s blurry, as if a red filter has been applied.
Sometimes I even had the feeling that red starlight was flowing from my left eye. Of course, it just felt like that, but there was no actual starlight flowing through it.
This only happens occasionally, so there was no major inconvenience in my daily life. Still, it’s all the same.
I went to the ophthalmologist, but they couldn’t find anything wrong. It was an expected result. Problems caused by starlight cannot be treated with modern medical technology.
The biggest problem was this.
‘I’m sure I won’t become Odd Eye, right?’
If you become an adult and have different eye colors, how will people around you see this? Han Jaejoong, who always cares about what others think, did not want to make his already striking appearance even more noticeable.
Every time I looked in the mirror, I felt anxious because my left eye felt redder for some reason. Of course, it is highly likely that it is an illusion due to distorted vision.
“Ayun-ah.”
“What, why?”
“How do you like my face?”
“It’s the same.”
“Tell me honestly.”
“Nice.”
“No, not like that… Have I changed anything?”
At that moment, Jo Ayun’s heart froze. His blood ran cold and goosebumps appeared on his skin like feathers protecting his body.
The words Han Jae-joong uttered without much thought were questions that would bring ruin to the relationship. The moment you don’t notice the difference, it’s a question of destruction that leads to destruction no matter what answer you give.
Of course, Jo Ayun did not notice the change in Han Jaejoong. What that question brings is destruction.
‘For some reason, I was wondering why you were so sick of it!’
The reason I kept looking at the mirror was because I was hoping to notice changes in myself! Jo A-yoon closed his eyes tightly.
“Huh? “Has anything changed?”
As Han Jaejoong urged her to answer, she eventually had to open her eyelids and look hard for changes.
Of course, there was no discernible change. I know everything, from her clothes to her shoes, she bought them all. There are no accessories. Her hairstyle was the same as before and her eyes were still sharp, just the way she liked them.
“Uh. Uh… Uh… It’s gotten prettier. “Have you grown taller?”
“Phew. “Then that’s it.”
Han Jaejoong heaved a sigh of relief and moved his feet more lightly. As expected, no changes are apparent in appearance. The only one who feels this change is Han Jaejoong.
“…Belt, this guy doesn’t have much else to say.”
His belt became strangely quiet after Virgo died. Han Jae-joong felt reassured once again when he saw that the iron ball, which would sound an alarm without delay if his health was in danger, was quiet.
“What is it really…!”
Could it be that he is really tall? I’m still at 150! Jo Ayun grumbled and followed behind him.
“Oppa, go alone and do something! “Let’s go together!”
“I’m going as slow as possible right now.”
“What? “Are you making fun of me because I’m short and my stride length is short?!”
“No, I never said a word like that….”
“Mr. Park!”
Han Jaejoong laughed bitterly as he lightly kicked his knee joint.
“This person’s sense of victimization is only increasing.”
“I’ve grown taller too!”
“Yes, yes.”
After walking like that for a few minutes, the two entered a store at the same time. Even though there was a sign in front of the door that said ‘CLOSED’, there was no hesitation in his steps.
A quiet store located in an alley. An old-fashioned exterior and design reminiscent of a rainy alley in Europe. The moment you enter, the scent of coffee tickles your nose, and old-fashioned city pop and alternative rock shake your ears. This is a store that will shake your heart.
The ideal cafe scene that Jo Ayun wanted.
“Ssajang! “I’m here!”
“Oh my, you came at the perfect time?”
And now it was the scene of the cafe that Jo Ayun would soon be able to get into. As she entered her store, an older woman smiled and waved her hand.
“Of course. “I originally wanted to come faster, but walking at our temple is very slow.”
When Joa Yoon glared at Han Jaejoong as if scolding him, Han Jaejoong bowed his head.
“I’m sorry. Even though I have twice the length of my boss’ legs, I’m a bit distracted and I’m late… Argh! Why!”
“You deserved it.”
This time, Jo Ayun, with his shins bare, smiled brightly and sat down on the chair across from where the woman was sitting.
“hehehehe, we get along well.”
“hehehe, hehehe. Does it look like that? “No, we’re going to be running a store together soon, so we need to get along well…”
Jo Ayun scratched her cheek in embarrassment and immediately shifted her gaze to the documents on the desk.
“Yes, I feel really relieved too. “I think you two can manage this store well…”
With her eyes full of age and affection, she touched her desk and held out her documents in Jo Yoon’s direction.
“Actually, I wanted to pay a little cheaper, but her daughter stopped me, so I ended up paying this much.”
“Oh, no! This is enough for now….”
“We received something from you.”
The woman spoke solemnly.
“When we think about the grace we have received from you, it would be almost a sin not to give it to us for free. “The reason I was able to live to this age is because of people like you.”
A society where the elderly are precious. What the woman said was not an exaggeration. It is difficult for elderly people with limited mobility to evacuate, and it is difficult for them to live well until their old age in this society.
“Please follow in my footsteps and work hard. “Did you bring your seal?”
Document of contract for transfer of store. Jo Ah-yoon took out the seal from his arms with a smile.
“Of course!”
It took less than a minute for the pink seal to be stamped on the signature line.

[Is security okay these days at D5?]
[I know a friend who lives there, but there aren’t many monsters these days?]
When a man posted something like that on an internet community, many comments soon started pouring in.
└Prepare for the funeral
└DO city? That’s it, the light guys over there say it’s a hot topic.
└After just a few months, there will be just a monster walking around on the streets hahahaha.
└Just close your eyes and go with F and G. The f*cking money will be wasted and the monster will run around like he does.
└Tell that guy you know to get out quickly.
“Whoa… we’re in big trouble.”
Sighing deeply, the man slammed the laptop shut. The man had no known older brother. What he wrote was his own story.
It was definitely a neighborhood where there were no problems until we got a room. However, a few months ago, rumors began to circulate that monsters were out and about, and reports of monsters actually walking around rose noticeably.
In the end, drug users who are said to flock to places where monsters are, also known as light-heads, gathered in this neighborhood, and it ended up being marked as an area of note for the appearance of monsters a few weeks ago.
It was a stage where we had to seriously think about survival, not just about money.
“Oh f*ck, really….”
It was complicated. The man had no money saved. I moved into an apartment with all the money I had, so what is this?
Death before age 40 is the national average. Internet losers who use memes to say ‘preliminary death’ came to mind. With the intention of calming his mind and body, the man turned on a video site and watched the magical girl in action.
It was a video of Red Vega’s performance that already had well over 5 million views. He was like the hope of a new generation, showing overwhelming magical firepower even though he was less than a year old.
‘…Why don’t you come to our neighborhood?’
If I’m this strong, I’ll take down all the monsters in my neighborhood. Why are they so busy… I felt resentful for a moment at Red Vega’s face on the advertisement screen.
“No. “Let’s come to our senses.”
The man tapped her cheek and brought her to her senses. She says she is different from the idiots. They are different from the magical girl antis who live pessimistically and with the mindset that they will all die from monsters anyway.
In the midst of all this, she controlled herself, saying that the man who thought about social reputation was different from those low-level idiots.
We are different from the trash that is spewing nonsense at the only hope that humanity can currently rely on.
I am still alive and there is still hope. After controlling his mind like that, the man got up and said, “Let’s eat.”
At that time, the doorbell rang.
“What is it?”
I didn’t order delivery. Rather than ordering it in the first place, the delivery company refuses it.
Could it be a monster? Around that time a creepy assumption crossed his mind.
“I’m going in.”
Boom!
A loud noise was heard from the iron front door, and the iron door, which weighed well over 10 kg, flew away. It was definitely a door for crime prevention.
From noble mtl dot com
A huge figure walked from where the open door was. A large human being, easily over 2m tall. No, there were too many parts that were too heterogeneous to be called human.
Monster.
As her man was trembling in fear and looking up at the ferocious starlight monster, the monster held out his hand.
“Won’t you become our colleague?”
There were not enough magical girls to protect her man.
