90. Date with Nayuna
90.
A space where the rotten me vibrates.
Back street.
Here, each step shows a different living environment.
The man on the highest floor was shaking his legs.
“why..! Didn’t you watch that one guy…!”
The man’s name is Na Jinwoo.
He was kicked out of NAVI in the past and built his own kingdom at the gate.
He was afraid that everything he had built up would go in vain.
“That…that…”
His subordinates prostrated themselves in front of the angry Na Jin-woo.
The back alley is the space inside the gate.
The men who fell down were in the role of monitoring the boss monster with the nucleus so that the gate did not disappear.
But one day, the boss monster suddenly disappears,
They were terrified of being caught by Na Jin-woo and were apologizing for it.
“… ”
Na Jin-woo is sitting on a chair that looks like a throne.
Two emotions coexisted in him: anger and fear.
Did you feel such trembling anger?
Two of his men shouted, banging their heads on the floor.
“I’m sorry.. I’m sorry..! We have sinned to death..!”
Voice of apology.
But Na Jin-woo didn’t like that.
“Did I want an apology? I asked where he went. To repay my kindness for harvesting you in this way. It’s really unfortunate.”
“I’m sorry.. I’m sorry..! If you just give us time…”
“It’s time..”
Hour.
Can I really give these two some time?
Na Jin-woo thought about it, but came up with a simple answer.
“It’s been eight years since I saw you in the garbage dump.”
“..That’s right.”
Two subordinates nodding their heads.
They were picked up by Na Jin-woo in a slum eight years ago.
For such a long time, the two expected that they would not have died here.
Na Jin-woo looked down at those two and murmured.
“Really, I regret it.”
“..Yes?”
“The fact that I picked up guys like you. He said he regretted it.”
How dare you cause chaos in my kingdom.
That sin deserves death.
Na Jin-woo took out a small jewel from his sleeve and held it.
The men who saw it were startled and stepped backwards.
“Hey.. hey..! I..I don’t want to die..!”
Two men run away.
Na Jin-woo looked at the men and used the power of the jewel.
That jewel is the magic core of the boss at the back alley gate.
Even Grado, who had been abandoned by the family due to its low magical power, was able to use a power comparable to that of A-class.
“It’s unfortunate.”
Leaving only those words.
Magical energy was spewing forward from the jewel.
The scent of magical energy that vibrates my rotten me.
The magic that spread in an instant swept them over.
“Aww..!!”
Two men with painful voices.
Even after watching them for 8 years, Na Jin-woo had a cold gaze.
“… ”
So magical power hit them, and the two men disappeared without form.
Seeing where they disappeared,
The king of alleys.
Na Jin-woo exclaimed from the splendid palace.
“Find it now..! That damn beast..!!”
At that angry voice, a group emerged from the darkness.
Hunters in the back alleys.
They were a unit under Na Jin-woo, and they were a group that dealt with various illegal things.
This backstreet world will not collapse as long as the nuke is not broken,
If the beast, the shell, is continuously shocked, the energy of the magic core will quickly disappear.
The hunters in the back alley immediately scattered to find the beast.
🤩🤩🤩🤩
The hunters disappear with the sound of the wind.
Na Jin-woo murmured anxiously from the throne as they left.
“Before Father knows, we must find it.”
Where did the beast really escape?
Na Jin-woo’s clenched fists were trembling.
***
The morning sunlight came down through the window.
“..it is already morning.”
I rubbed my eyes and stood up.
Half Hana was sitting next to me and fell into a deep sleep.
I decided to do a basic face-wash as usual.
Oops. oops.
Wash your face and brush your teeth.
After basic face-washing, I looked at my cell phone on the desk.
“..I’ll be up by this time.”
I hope you are still sleeping
Because her morning was an hour earlier than others.
I grabbed my phone and tried to contact her.
Tu.. Tu..
A beeping sound from the cell phone.
Are you still sleeping
I can’t.
A few beeps sounded,
A dry voice rang out from the cell phone.
-hello.
“Oh, Nayuna. Are you awake?”
The person I contacted is Na Yuna.
It wasn’t long before she fell to the bottom,
I had called her at an early hour.
– Si-Jun Han. Why did you call at this hour? Do you have anything to say to me?
“Just because I have time today.”
-… ?
Do you have time today?
To such a question, Nayuna seemed to hesitate for a moment to answer.
You’re probably calculating today’s schedule.
She tends to go according to schedule, so it was clear that she was rolling her head.
About 10 seconds passed.
Nayuna answered whether the calculations were all over.
-..it’s free around lunchtime. About 3 hours.
“3 hours? A lot more than you think?”
-…what’s wrong?
Nayuna suddenly gets angry.
Is it because I have always lived according to a full time schedule?
She looked as if her self-esteem had been hurt when she said that time was generous.
You’re misunderstanding
I told her naturally.
“So, would you like to go on a date today?”
-What…what…?”
Na Yuna is usually less emotional, but now she is perplexed.
What is he talking about all of a sudden?
Maybe that’s what you’re thinking
I said again to be considerate of her.
“No, we just want to meet as friends for a while. I’m also a bodyguard, but I don’t think I’ve seen your face since vacation.”
-..okay?
She doesn’t dare to meet without a reason.
When I forced myself to come up with a reason, she gave me a positive answer.
-okay. Let’s meet at 12 o’clock. But, I’m not at the academy right now.
“uh? Then where are you?”
-NAVI. I’m at home
“… ”
I thought you were at the academy.
You have to get ready to go..?
For a moment, annoyance stuck in my body,
With a stat of Willpower of 8, I overcame the annoyance and answered my question.
“..okay. Then see you at 12. I’ll call you when I’m nearby.”
-okay.
Cool response.
So, the call with Nayuna was cut off.
I quickly started preparing.
Nayuna considers the appointment of time as important as her life.
And it’s a long way from the academy to the NAVI company.
It’ll take about 2 hours.
No, will it take longer than that?
“ha..”
I hated troublesome things, but
I had no choice but to speed up and prepare to go out.
“Hmmm.. Hmmm..”
Banhana sleeping comfortably with even breathing sounds.
“Good night..”
I am preparing so urgently.
One is sleeping casually.
I felt proud of such a class for nothing.
***
‘Sim. Where?’
I entrust the waking up half Hana to Yoo Ha-yeon.
After preparations, I was in front of Na Yuna’s company.
“Why are there so many people?”
Near NAVI crowded with people.
Probably because of time, this place was crowded with people.
12 o’clock.
It is also lunch time, and after the office workers have a short meal,
Time to drink coffee or smoke cigarettes.
Near Na Yuna’s company, I called her.
Tu.. Tu..
A few seconds after the beep has left.
She answered the phone right away as if she was trying to call me.
-hello.
“Oh, I’m in front of the company. where are you?”
-I’m leaving the company. Did you say it’s in front? wait there
Drop.
What are you talking about so fast
Na Yuna only talks about information and hangs up the phone.
Perhaps there are mechanical parts in her head.
I had that thought in my mind.
Wait 3 minutes like that.
“When are you coming?”
Let’s put those words out of our mouth,
Nayuna was coming out of NAVI.
Flag performance is sure.
Na Yuna leaving the company looked a little tired.
Maybe it’s because of busy work.
Na Yuna is a student but wears an office look.
She is wearing a white blouse and a black skirt.
Her yellow hair was tied in a bow-shaped braid.
Na Yuna gives off an elegant feeling like an office worker.
She made the sound of her shoes again and again,
Came up to me and asked
“So, what’s your schedule?”
“Follow me at once. I’ll let you know as I go.”
Having said that, I turned around and started walking towards my destination.
Once before
“Nayuna. Stay still.”
“..?”
I handed Nayuna a shopping bag.
Without saying anything, she gave her eyes, ‘What is this?’
I was begging you to open it.
It’s frustrating.
Nayuna who doesn’t open it unless told to open it.
I said softly to her.
“Change into the slippers inside. You can’t walk in shoes.”
“… ”
Nayuna immediately opened the shopping bag.
Inside were the slippers I was using.
“Because I didn’t wear much. Wear it with confidence.”
“… thank you.”
This is the basics of caring.
Although it was an act to seduce her a little,
Because I couldn’t make them walk in shoes,
I could assert that my caring was sincere.
Nayuna changed her shoes into slippers and followed me.
The direction I am heading is not a restaurant with franchises,
An alley full of old shops.
When she saw it, Nayuna asked again.
“..Han Si-jun. Where are you going?
Where to go
I answered her without a single word of shame.
“Tteokbokki shop.”
“… ”
I love Na Yuna, a restaurant in the alley.
I was thinking of taking him to a tteokbokki shop.
Pasta for a date?
That’s a stereotype.
