Chapter 177 – Traps (5)
“For now, let’s talk tomorrow. Tomorrow.”
Choi Yeon-joo blushed as she said so. The device that connects the fragments of the Almighty and the communication goes off, and I turn around with an awkward face. The voice of the Almighty rang in my heart.
[No, shouldn’t you knock and come in!]
[I didn’t know you were having sex.]
[So, this is… !]
I giggled and closed the door. It was because Choi Yeon-joo’s face was ruined. Even the moment I left, she covered her lips with her hand and wandered her eyes. The last time I saw her tucking her long hair over her ears, I left the office.
There were no people in the long hallway. It was because most people had left except for essential management positions. Outside, all you could see was a janitor sweeping the yard at a leisurely pace. I looked at the janitor and walked to my room.
In the full-length mirror at the corner of the hallway, Lee Jun-hyeok was shaking his wig around. He changed his wig around a few times, and when it came to a nice shape, he nodded and smiled contentedly.
“Hello.”
“Oops.”
When I greeted him, Junhyeok Lee jumped up and shrugged his shoulders as if facing a flying insect. I asked him
“What are you doing.”
“How is it? Do you look good?”
He wore a wig supplied by Paradise for camouflage and was smiling with a very satisfied expression. Happiness was evident on his smiling face. I chimed in with his dazzling smile.
“Get along well. Your face shines.”
“Yes? I’ll have to ask Hunter Choi Yeon-joo for one of these later. It’s much better here than the one I used before.”
He looked back into the full-length mirror and nodded in admiration. I looked at the mountain with my arms raised on the window sill. Traces of the previous fight remained in the valley seen through the window. Mountain birds moved frequently in the crevices of the collapsed stones, and snakes moved their bodies wrigglingly in search of a new home.
I saw an elk jumping around.
I said while looking at the lively scenery.
“If Hunter Choi Soon-hong comes, we really have to fight, right?”
At my question, Hunter Lee Junhyeok looked into the mirror and nodded his head.
“We have to fight our ark. I can’t help it. Isn’t everything in the world like that? Even if you don’t want to do something, you’ll do it anyway. Aigoo, our ark…”
Lee Jun-hyeok said that while distorting his face. He said, wiggling his fingers.
“I quit smoking after I had a baby, but these days I keep thinking about cigarettes.”
Lee Jun-hyeok said that and came to my side. He patted me on the shoulder and said.
“Actually, you shouldn’t call me Ark anymore, you should call me Sunhong Choi Hunter. Now, he’s completely unrelated to our Black Dragon’s room. However, even when I tried to think like that, it didn’t work out. I am the ark! If you call it, it seems that our ark will come back and call ‘Hey, Lee Jun-hyuk’. Let’s have a drink of bamboo leaf tea, and talk about the city’s Cheonma fever story together.”
I said nothing. Lee Jun-hyeok didn’t seem to be expecting any answer from me either. He said.
“So I’m going crazy these days. I wondered why things were so messed up. It’s driving me crazy because I keep seeing our ark go the wrong way. I’m going crazy.”
After saying that, Lee Junhyeok exhaled deeply as if exhaling cigarette smoke. He tapped me on the shoulder again and said.
“Go in. You also have a lot of hardships like you, did you hold on too much?”
“No. Please go in.”
“Okay. I have to work again tomorrow.”
“Are you worth your work here?”
Lee Jun-hyeok stretched his head at my question and nodded his head. Stretching his back made his thump sound. He replied with a pat on the back.
“It’s a lot more comfortable than playing at the gate. Give money too My wife is not by my side.”
“What did you say to your wife?”
“I just said I was going to work on a long-term dispatch. Hey, this is heaven right now dude heaven.”
After saying that, Lee Junhyeok turned the corner and disappeared. Is it so good that she doesn’t have a wife? I was a bit bored to think that I was living apart from Ichiena, Yujeong seniors, and Seong Hayeon, but would that change if I got married? I sat for a while observing the wild beasts roaming around, then went back to my room.
“Are you here already?”
When I opened the door, Ichie was lying on the bed and Seong Hayeon was lying on the sofa. Senior Yu-jeong was trying on one of her sweaters in front of her full-length mirror, her chest shaking slightly as she turned around.
I said.
“Yes. What were you doing?”
“Doesn’t this look a bit fat?”
She asked, pointing to the thick fluffy sweater she was wearing. I shook my head and said.
“Ah, that’s pretty. What. I really like it because it feels like it will be soft if I hold it tightly.”
“Is it so? No, standing in front of a mirror makes my breasts look a bit too big.”
That was a good thing, but I didn’t bother to emphasize it. Ichie rolled over on the bed and then naturally got out of bed. Sitting on the floor in an m shape, he looked at me and stretched out his hand. I picked her up and pulled her up, and she said, clinging to my body.
“I’m bored.”
“Please bear with me a little longer.”
Ichie nodded and threw herself away from me and onto the bed again. As she was rolling around on her soft bed like a pool, she took out her phone and tinkered with it. While Seong Ha-yeon was reading her book, she asked Ichie.
“It makes sense. What are you doing?”
“I got a message from my uncle and I’m replying.”
“Okay? Didn’t you tell me where you were?”
“They said it was a hotel in Jeju Island. He also told me not to think about coming because he is having fun with Soo Hyun-sang.”
I looked at the scenery outside. Is Jeju Island a place with only mountains like this? Seong Ha-yeon giggled at her words, and then she said:
“What, after saying that, aren’t you going to visit your uncle? My uncle loves you very much. You were very worried about me last time.”
“If you explain it later, you will understand. Anyway, I’m on Jeju Island right now.”
“Hey, look over there. It is Mt. Halla.”
Seong Ha-yeon pointed out the window and said. I saw a rock hanging from a thick mountain range. Senior Yu-jeong laughed at Seong Ha-yeon’s joke, and Ichie nodded her head, and she pointed to the tangerine that came out for today’s snack and she said.
“Jeju tangerines.”
“Uh, what is it? Ichie, do you know that Jeju Island is famous for tangerines?”
“I studied a lot to go to Jeju Island with Suhyeon-san. If I go, I will touch the Dol Hareubang nose first.”
“Did you hear that if you touch the Dol Harubang nose, you will have a son?”
Ichie nodded her head furiously at those words. And she looked at me while stroking her belly. I laughed and sat down in front of her and said Her Holiness Yeon covering her face with her book.
“Dad is pervert pervert. Be silly Look at the pieces already being measured to make the second one.”
“By the way, what happens if a man touches the Dol Hareubang?”
Ichie asked while stroking my stomach. I held Ichie’s hand and laid face to face on the bed, lost in thought.
“Well. What’s going on Am I pregnant?”
“Ugh.”
Seonghayeon hated it and shook her head. Senior Yoojeong smiled and climbed onto the bed, probably imagining me pregnant. Seong Ha-yeon subtly slipped the book into her bookshelf. Looking at the title, the book I was reading today was also a children’s book.
I gently hugged her as she approached me, and with her other hand I ran her hair in her wit. Seong Ha-yeon sat on my leg and kissed her on the forehead. Senior Yoojung wrapped my neck around me. Seong Ha-yeon told me.
“By the way, what are we going to name our baby?”
“Well. I thought I’d try it after seeing something like Saju later.”
At one time, Saju was a study that was so despised that it was said to be an outdated superstition, but as people who actually awakened the ability related to Saju appeared, it changed to a grounded folk religion in its own way.
The first Awakener who awakened the ability to send money was a drug gangster named ‘Juan Carlos’ who lived in Mexico.
“Sandbar? Ey, we just have to build it roughly by ourselves. What if I come up with a weird name? Our ark…”
Seong Ha-yeon, who had been talking until there, suddenly shut her mouth and made a gloomy face again. I put her on her bed. Looking to the side, senior Yoojung was also smiling bitterly at her reason.
We kept trying to forget the bad memories with laughter and sex. Perhaps this was an act of escaping from reality. I said.
“Shall we cheer up a bit while watching our V-tube? What’s fun these days?”
I said that and brought senior Yoo-jeong’s tablet from the corner of the room. Senior Yoo Jung said.
“I bought that movie. Would you like to see it?”
“The movie is good… See…”
I looked for a list of hot issue videos these days. Senior Yoojeong said, pointing to one of the V-tube lists.
“Ah, this man! I’ve been watching this person lately, and it’s fun!”
“What is this?”
[Hello Nyang! Your cutie! It’s Nyang Nyang Nyang!]
There, a cute cat character was waving and saying hello. For some reason, I felt a strange familiarity with that voice. Senior Yoojung said.
“Virtual YouTuber, it’s a trend these days, because you dress up as a virtual character and broadcast on YouTube?”
[Today is Nyan Nyang Seok! Challenge the stick dance with Zero Two Nyan! VR Character’s Zero Two! Take a good look!]
“Isn’t the character very cute?”
Behind Yoo-jung’s smiling voice, I felt familiar.
[Nyangnyang! Ah! Older brother! Thank you!]
“…Junseok?”
This tone, this voice. I heard the voice of a friend that could not be hidden even if it was altered.
I woke up dizzy with the unbelievable reality.
Ichie, who was next to me, asked.
“Do you know someone?”
I answered in a firm voice.
“No. I don’t know.”
