138 – Our house is gone
Han Jaejoong doesn’t like the smell of hospitals. I feel dizzy every time the air mixed with the unique drug enters my nose. Every time I go to fix my body, I feel like it’s getting harder, so I can’t like it even if I want to.
In fact, this reluctance may be a learned reluctance rather than an instinctive one.
Hospitals have always been places where bad things happen.
It was still like that.
Jaejoong Han swallowed his dry saliva as he continued to stroke the head of Joa Yoon, who was shaking in his arms.
Yun Seol-hwa’s gaze looking at Han Jae-joong was abnormally warm. There was no dissatisfaction at all in his actions. The gaze seemed to be questioning him, saying that he had done nothing wrong and that the person who made him do this was wrong.
The sight of the crying person being asked to leave and then tilting his head as if asking what was the problem was lovely due to its beautiful appearance, but also gave off a slightly bizarre feel.
“The baby is crying right now, Seolhwa.”
No matter what, this is not the case. Han Jaejoong opened her mouth and answered her question. Then Jo A-yoon’s shoulder, who was in his arms, twitched slightly.
“Ugh… Hi, ah, I didn’t cry….”
Han Jaejoong was not only dumbfounded, but even amazed that he would show his pride even in this situation.
“Hmm….”
Yun Seol-hwa stared at him quietly and then smiled. The gentle movement of the head was an expression of humble recognition.
“Ahahahaha, yes. I guess I was too impatient. “I didn’t even notice my surroundings.”
“…?”
I retreated faster than I thought. Han Jaejoong, who had prepared himself for an argument, relaxed his jaw.
“I’m sorry, Ayuna. I’m sure you were as surprised as I was. “There was a lack of consideration.”
Soon her hand gently stroked Jo Ayun’s head. Even though the body temperature itself was cold, the touch was extremely warm.
“…That’s enough.”
Jo A-yoon also accepted the touch without any problems, but after hearing something, his pride caused him to react sharply.
If it were normal, I would have smiled awkwardly and walked away, but I couldn’t do that now because I felt a lot of resentment.
‘You clearly saw me crying and you told me to get out of the way…?!’
There was no part that made me cry. My already sad feeling became even more sad because of Han Jaejoong.
From noble mtl dot com
‘It has finally become a South American bird…!’
I was deeply disappointed that he was so crazy about men that he neglected his younger brother. Next time I come to a cafe, I will feed them very bitter espresso concentrate.
I promised revenge and hugged Han Jaejoong even tighter.
‘Oh, how about it! ‘Aren’t you jealous?!’
Glance. Jo Ayun swallowed her tears and looked sideways at Yun Seol-hwa. A jealousy-inducing operation that I would never have done under normal circumstances.
It was a childish strategy, but to the sad Jo Ayun, her own reputation did not matter.
However, contrary to the purpose, Yun Seol-hwa’s reaction was sour.
“…Huh?”
“Why are you like this, Ayun?”
“Oh, no, I just… I think it would be good if you lost some muscle. “It’s unnecessarily big and hard.”
“Hey, that’s my pride and I can’t get rid of it.”
Jo Ayun was embarrassed. He was Yun Seol-hwa, who always envied how close he and Han Jae-joong were.
‘Is this Yun Seol-hwa, who held my hand with ease before we started dating but then held my hand with trembling after we started dating?!’
There is no way not to envy hugs. Isn’t this the person who drank alcohol and rushed over just a few days ago just to get a hug?
However, no matter how many times I looked at it, Yun Seol-hwa’s expression was different. There was not a single tremor in the snow, which was like a quiet frozen lake.
“Then, please contact me when you can calm me down enough.”
“Of course.”
“No wait, aren’t you treating me like a three-year-old…?!”
“It’s actually similar.”
“Woojjujju, our Ayun. “Would you like some milk?”
“Get out!”
As he said, Yun Seol-hwa left.
Leaning against the door outside her hospital room, she slowly caught her breath. In contrast to her quiet breathing, her heart was beating like crazy. In her mind, Jo Ayun was still in Han Jaejoong’s arms.
‘I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous…’
She was somehow able to act calm, but her insides were not. Even now, she felt like she was going crazy with envy.
She brooded over her jealousy and imagined that it was not Jo Yoon in his arms, but her.
“hehehehe….”
Just imagining it made me rush out with dopamine. Her doctors and nurses who were walking towards her hospital room were startled when they saw her.
“Hey, over there….”
“Oh, sorry….”
Yun Seol-hwa got out of the way in front of her door and then she quickly left. Her face turned red from her embarrassment.
“…Ugh.”
I’m going to die of shame. For no reason in her mind, only her innocent legs moved vigorously. She followed her rule of not running in the hospital and sprinted down her hallways as fast as she could.
Feeling a sense of self-destruction as she realized her shabby reality, she gave up her delusions and let out a long sigh.
“Huh….”
Regret filled her deep breath.
‘Uh, what should I do?!’
Han Jaejoong was not the only one who was surprised in the hospital room just now. Yun Seol-hwa was like that too.
After quickly finishing what I had to do, I came back and found that Jaejoong Han, who had been unconscious, had woken up and was sharing a deep hug with Ayun Jo, who was helping with his care.
From Yun Seol-hwa’s perspective, it was absolutely absurd.
Normally, I would have paid attention to Han Jaejoong’s spirit, but today, unusually, I paid attention to the hug shared between Han Jaejoong and Jo Ayun.
It is a fact that Yun Seol-hwa knows well that Han Jae-joong cares for her like his own younger sister. Yun Seol-hwa even had a large stake in forming the relationship between the two.
It was none other than Yun Seol-hwa himself who introduced Jo Ah-yoon as her benefactor and told her to cherish him.
The skinship between those two was particularly unstoppable, and it wasn’t unusual for them to hug each other when comforting each other. Yun Seol-hwa herself, who watched them closely, knew this best.
‘Jaejoong must have been very embarrassed, right? Si, what if I’m disappointed? If you don’t like me…’
As much as Yoon Seol-hwa has seen Han Jae-joong and Jo Ah-yoon, she has also seen them.
She must have realized, not only herself, but also them that she was strange along today.
Her biggest fear was none other than hatred. Even though she might not be loved, she didn’t want to be hated.
Her hatred is her most fatal value, sublimating her love into her magic.
Just as Samson in her Bible lost her strength when her hair was cut off, Yun Seol-hwa seemed to lose all her strength the moment she was hated.
Yoon Seol-hwa did not want to be hated by Han Jae-joong. It was a heart bigger than love.
Her love was infinitely altruistic and selfish.
That’s why she didn’t look for Han Jae-joong, who ran away from home, for almost a year, and she didn’t show as strong of an obsession as she did for Han Jae-joong, who came back. Because she was in danger, she did not actively monitor him.
She did not want to be a thorn in the side of her lover. Her thorn bushes keep him from going down her dangerous path, but they also keep him from coming into her presence.
The reason why Yoon Seol-hwa respected Han Jae-joong’s freedom was because he was afraid of being hated more than being in danger.
I was so afraid that my hasty words and actions today would encourage hatred towards him.
However, it must be overcome.
“…You can’t do this.”
You can’t do that anymore. When comparing his life with this selfish feeling, the former naturally has overwhelming value.
A monster is targeting him. Now this is an undeniable fact.
He was kidnapped by Libra, shot by a Sagittarius monster, and has many ties to other monsters in various ways.
If Red Vega wasn’t around during this bombing incident…
Yoon Seol-hwa gathered her courage once again as she felt a shiver run down her spine just imagining it.
“For Jaejoong’s sake… Now, I have to be strong-hearted.”
He clenched his trembling hands for fear of being hated and turned them into fists.
We must protect Han Jaejoong. Repels all monsters that approach him. No, he doesn’t even want to come close in the first place.
There was only one thought.
“…I have to do it.”
If people are officially protected, it is obvious that there will be controversy in many ways. Even if you keep it secret, rumors can spread somewhere.
You cannot receive help from the association.
So this protection must be carried out entirely privately and secretly. Fortunately, Seolhwa Yoon has the capital to carry out the plan. What was lacking was the ability to execute, but this time, I made up for it by being strong-minded.
[Are you serious, Guardian…?]
“Yes, of course.”
Feel guilty for not being close to him when he was in danger? The sadness of not being next to him when he woke up? Are you jealous that I too want to be comforted by a hug? You don’t have to feel this way anymore.
“Now I’m going to make it so you can’t leave my side…!”
Clap clap. As if to promise, she slapped her own cheek.
Her nurse, who was walking by her side, looked at her and was startled.
“Oh, sorry…!”
She cried and quickly ran down her hallway again. Of course, it was a slow walk.

“aaah! Boku no Iega (My house)…!”
One day, I let out a roar and fell to my knees at the construction restoration site.
“Once again?”
“Once again…? Once again???!!!!!”
“Oh, surprise.”
“You have no blood or tears! “You devils!”
“Deaf… Cheeky…?”
“What does it matter if a person is shocked when his house collapses?”
When Baek A-hee and Ara expressed their doubts, Haru became angry. Ara felt unfair.
‘No, then is it normal to cry about the house collapsing now?’
Isn’t it strange that rescue efforts were carried out here even during the incident, and now that we are shedding tears once again?
There are degrees of missing the timing. Three days after watching a sad movie, I suddenly felt like I was watching someone start crying.
“Time doesn’t matter… All that matters is that I was shocked… To compare my pain! Ah soo (ah yes). “It feels like I’m bungee jumping with an endless drop!”
“Your vocabulary has become richer. “The analogy is somewhat strange, though.”
One day, I was trembling as I gathered the powdered concrete in my hands.
“Keuhehehe… Bokuno sweet home sweet home…!”
“What’s wrong with a guy who has a lot of money? That’s right, your house collapsed and the association is giving you support.”
“aaah! Tonight’s yakiniku daaa!!!”
One day, upon hearing the news of the grant, he suddenly leaned back and started cheering.
“If you live like that, you won’t be bored.”
I think at least every day will be fun. Ara stuck out her tongue as she experienced emotional ups and downs, even feeling awe.
“But Haru, where are you going to live while you look for a house?”
“Heh.”
In response to Baek Ahee’s question, Haru rummaged for something belonging to her in her arms.
“Look at this! I will live luxuriously now! Ah, a celebratory life! “Is this what an influencer is?!”
And what was shown was a brochure of a high-end hotel. Baek Ah-hee just laughed when she saw that. She, too, was overwhelmed by these mood swings.
“Yeah, really? “Good day.”
“If Jiknyeo looks good to me, I can even lend her for a night! How about taking this opportunity to call me Haru-chan?!”
“Oh yeah… I’m fine….”
Even though Baek Ah-hee rejected her, Haru continued to flirt with her, asking her to add “Chan” After his name.
Ara thought as she watched the two of them chatting.
‘Huh? ‘Why did a kid with such wealth live in a place like this?’
When I thought about it, it was strange. This is a place where lower class people who have no money but do not want to become homeless gather to live. It is vulnerable to attacks by monsters and is far from the association, so even if you report it, it takes a long time for the magical girl to arrive.
It was an unsuitable place for a magical girl who risked her life to accumulate a lot of wealth.
But so far no one has expressed any doubt.
‘…Well, he must have had his own circumstances.’
Ara did not think deeply. She passed it on, thinking that she must have an interesting story since she is a magical girl. She thought of someone else instead.
“Even if you find a place to live one day… Then, what about Han Jaejoong?”
“Ah.”
“Yes?”
Not only was she living in this dilapidated apartment, there was also Han Jaejoong.
“I mean Han Jaejoong. Where should he preserve his body?”
The person who would be most in trouble now that he was homeless was him, not Haru.
