117 – Bait (2)
It wasn’t until early in the morning that Song Soo-yeon was able to talk to Stella.
“hello?”
“Stella, it is me. Luna.”
“…You made a lot of phone calls in the morning. Did you have any problems?”
Through Stella’s calm voice, it was possible to infer that there was no major problem with Jeong-gyeom.
But still, I want to hear it clearly.
I want to erase the anxiety I felt from yesterday’s dream.
“Are you safe, Mister?”
“……Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?”
“…..”
“…..yes. It’s safe.”
Stella spit out an awkward answer and asked back.
“…what happened at dawn…ah.”
“…”
“…Couldn’t you have ignored my words and woke up from your dream?”
“…I haven’t seen you in a long time, how can I-”
“-ha…”
long sigh.
“…Gyeom is fine, so don’t worry.”
Song Soo-yeon finally felt relieved. I couldn’t even hear Han Yu-jung’s sigh.
“…and dreams, too, don’t worry, they won’t mean anything.”
“…Really?”
“I don’t have the power to make me have precognitive dreams. So- Oh, Gyeom. Woke up?”
– Knock.
A call that drops momentarily.
It seemed that Stella had hung up because she didn’t want Jeong-gyeom to know that she was on the phone.
For Song Soo-yeon, whenever she felt Jeong-gyeom’s presence, her heart trembled.
…It would have been nice if he hung up a little later, so that I could hear his voice.
Song Soo-yeon stands helpless in regret, then sighs and gets up from her seat.
Knowing that he’s safe, I can be more energized.
None of her plans have changed yet.
Anyway, I don’t want to leave Jung-gyeom alone.
You never know what dangers might befall him.
It is Jeong-gyeom who has been increasing his fights with Solas.
How much will Jeong-gyeom’s heart break as he fights Solas, who he calls his hero?
If you substitute Song Soo-yeon for herself, wouldn’t it feel like fighting Jeong-gyeom?
I wanted to move even for the sake of his wounded heart.
In the first place, as long as Trino is hidden, it is unknown how much longer the fight will be.
It would be better for Song Soo-yeon to quickly capture the trino.
this was the right one
After Song Soo-yeon finished preparing to go out, she put on her mask and reached for her hat.
“…”
A lot had happened to her, but her appearance was still the same.
Therefore, it is said that the harassment suffered by men remains the same.
But she sighs and throws off the mask. I choose not to wear a hat.
To bring out the trino, you had to not hide your face.
She had to step into the situation she hated the most.
But now I could bear it.
Now that I found out that the reality without Jeong-gyeom hurts more.
Rather, what Song Soo-yeon was more concerned about was Trino’s interest.
I had to hope he was still looking for me.
****
I’m ready to go out today to find Trino.
Wearing clothes, putting on the mask inside out. He also put a mask on his mouth to change his voice.
Finally, I turned the coat inside out.
And then we move on
Today, I was thinking of looking back at some of the crime syndicates Stella had told me about.
“……?”
When I put my hand in my pocket, I felt a strange texture.
When I took it out, I found a familiar wish bracelet inside.
The moment I saw it, my eyes trembled.
“…”
He stared at the bracelet for a while without saying anything.
How did this come in here?
The day we kissed on the sea, did she put it in my pocket?
Every time I see something like this, my heart becomes heavy and hard.
It reminds me of our memories and makes me happy and sad at the same time.
A bitter lingering lingering feeling remains.
I am so devastated that things have turned out this way.
But there was no other way.
one of the two
If I don’t surrender, Song Soo-yeon will have to go to jail.
It is said that she, who has finally tasted freedom after escaping from her own prison of school and family, must be suppressed again.
…And that, I hated.
It’s dozens of times better if I go in.
Now that I see it, I really think I’m the Hogu she said so much.
I opened the door and left the room.
-thud.
“-Ah, Gyeom-ah. Woke up?”
When I opened the door and came out, Han Yu-jeong greeted me from somewhere in the kitchen.
She confessed her love yesterday, but acts as if it never happened.
Soon after, she shows up, sees me, and stops in awe.
“…”
“…leave right away?”
“…uh.”
“…”
Han Yu-jeong’s expression darkened slightly.
she asked.
“…Is it because I confessed yesterday?”
“what?”
“Because of the confession… are you not going to eat together?”
“…”
Unknowingly, I almost spit out excuses for her words. I wasn’t doing this because of her confession. I was just confused, and I was determined to track Trino faster.
Also, I feel that Solas is getting stronger.
I’d love to, but at the moment it’s not.
The fight to avoid is gradually getting tougher.
But to actively resist… there is a risk of hurting her.
Before this precarious balance is disrupted, I just wanted to finish the job.
“…”
However, these excuses were swallowed in the end.
Talking about it won’t change anything.
I closed and opened my eyes and passed by Han Yu-jeong.
But Han Yu-jeong grabbed my arm and stopped me.
“…Gyeom-ah, I didn’t mean to answer my heart…”
“…”
“So, let’s eat together…we don’t have much time left…”
“… let go.”
“…”
Han Yu-jeong finally let go of my words.
I walk again
“…..Gyeom-ah.”
“…”
“…Ah, that…I had a bad dream today…that, so be careful.”
Han Yu-jeong said to me the last time I was leaving.
I was troubled after hearing that… I nodded briefly and went outside.
****
Days go by.
Song Soo-yeon went outside every day.
He knew better than anyone else that his appearance was controversial.
Enough that if Trino is looking for himself, he can easily come to him.
Most of the men confessed, and I even received business cards from various agencies.
There were also people who secretly filmed her.
The whole thing was still unpleasant…but the thought of leaving behind crumbs of snacks for the Trino to come after was tolerable.
I was able to endure the thought that this was the path for Jeong-gyeom.
Recently, Solas and Jeong-gyeom have been fighting every day.
As if Jeong-gyeom’s whereabouts were gradually being narrowed down, Solas was becoming a greater threat to him day by day.
When their fight unfolded, Song Soo-yeon could only hold her breath and wait for the fight to end.
I couldn’t do anything else because I was so nervous.
And at night, he calls Stella to ask about Jeong-gyeom’s safety.
Hearing that he was safe made me feel relieved, but also motivated me the next day.
Once I started to act, I even had a resolution to achieve my goal.
For Jeong-gyeom, to bring out the trino.
To end Jeong-gyeom’s fight.
…If you’re lucky, you might be able to reconcile with him after that.
She didn’t want to live like a corpse anyway.
Once a goal had arisen, she was completely immersed in it.
It was at this point that a week had passed since I started walking around like that.
Little by little, anxiety built up.
Trino completely disappeared.
It was to the point where I wondered if I was looking for Song Soo-yeon herself.
She used to walk around the same place every day at the same time… If Trino wanted it, he could have come to her sooner.
Even so, the fact that it didn’t show up for such a long time made me want to wonder if it was really frightened and hiding.
As Trino disappears, the battle between Solas and Jeong-gyeom gets longer. That was Song Soo-yeon, who was more anxious than anything.
She wandered around the city all day wrestling with her anxiety, and heard the news that Solas and Jeong-gyeom were fighting again.
She wandered around looking for a place where the wifi was breaking.
And finally, I stopped at a place where the radio waves were caught, squatted down, and focused on the news.
Their fight started around 5:00 PM and ended around 8:00 PM, and Song Soo-yeon, who was sitting still, was finally able to get up from her seat with her cell phone dying.
“…Whoops.”
There was no news on the news today that Dice was injured…but I felt like I should ask Stella how she was.
If you go home and charge your phone.
“hey.”
At that moment, a man who looked like a nerd wearing glasses stopped her.
Song Soo-yeon tried to move because she felt like she would ask for a number or say that she would give her a number again.
However, Song Soo-yeon’s feet stiffen at the man’s words.
“…Trino-sama…is looking for you.”
“…………”
Her heart started pounding in surprise.
Song Soo-yeon’s head turned.
the man said
“…They said that if I told you this, you would come too…”
