207 – one more person
Dreamers’ A-class hunters were ambushing from a distance according to the instructions of Lieutenant Jinhyeon Lee.
Glas and Talos and Iro, Loha and Haram.
Hiding in the bushes and watching the situation, they could not help but automatically raise a question mark above their heads about the situation unfolding in front of their eyes.
“What the hell is that deal?”
“Um… To be honest, I don’t even know.”
What they could see was Seo Ji-yoon, who was expected to attack, or something. Suddenly, he knelt down on the floor and began to wail loudly while talking.
After Are and Kwon Soon, who were watching the situation, went out saying that they would find out about this, they started talking among themselves again.
Immediately after talking for a long time, Seo Ji-yoon knelt on the floor again and said something.
Right after that, she raised her head and said something that made the four people there look as if they were very surprised, and the other three, centered on Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun, who seemed to be in a difficult situation, seemed to be very angry. He was making faces.
It is frustrating for the A-class hunters who are virtually only looking at the picture in a place where the sound is not heard well, but on the other hand, it feels a little fun.
Like that, while feeling strangely excited about the situation in front of them, they began to feel a little anticipation about what kind of picture would be shown next.

“Slavery… no matter how much it is, it’s rather a fossa… um… um. It was humanly too much.”
“Yes, yes, and then stick to it for the rest of your life and serve as your master. It’s like a perfect marriage… No, it’s unacceptable in terms of human rights.”
“Someone is an S-class hunter, so it’s hard to see their face… Keuheum.. Muh.. Of course I understand your feelings well, but think again. Are there any other ways to atone for sins other than being so extreme?”
First of all, I was protesting by citing humane issues as much as possible.
To be honest, since all three of them have affection for a man named Lee Jin-hyun, they don’t want the number of competitors to increase.
He was trying to make the tone as kind as possible with his mouth, but in reality, Jin-hyun felt a chill run down his spine at the reaction of the girls who were showing a sense of rejection that was close to living, and he couldn’t bear to answer how to answer it. there was.
But… despite the resistance of the three, Seo Ji-yoon spoke in a firm voice.
“No, no matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of a better number than that. Jinhyun Lee. I’ll tell you once again, the purpose of being born as me is only for you. Otherwise, I have no reason to live. To dedicate my body for Jinhyeon-nim is the only purpose and joy of my life. So please… do not refuse this lowly sinner’s plea.”
“Um… ”
Seo Ji-yoon, who never shows signs of backing down, and the three of them, unable to openly express their anger at her about this, send a stinging gaze toward Lee Jin-hyun’s adjutant, feeling the boiling inner heart as it is.
Regarding this, Lee Jin-hyun recognized that he had no choice but to draw a conclusion, and finally began to open his mouth cautiously.
*
I thought that the word dilemma was used in this situation.
In the front, there was Seo Ji-yoon, bowing her head in front of me and begging me to accept her as a ‘slave’.
‘No.. Why is this turning into something like a love affair? In addition to Are and Kwon Soon, even Na Seon…’
Even though I felt so frustrated, I knew very well that I had to put an end to this situation somehow.
Of course, even so, it was hard to actually take these words about slavery and all at face value, and she didn’t mean to treat them harshly.
I just want to let her live the life she wants.
And for that, I had to accept the fact that I needed to be by her side, at least for a while.
‘At least I need to help her become self-reliant and find a new purpose in life…’
With that conclusion, I opened my mouth in a calm voice while looking at Seo Ji-yoon in front of me.
“… Okay. If that is what you want, do it.”
“Ji.. Mr. Jinhyeon!”
“Adjutant!”
“brother!”
Three people who immediately objected to my words.
However, holding back their reaction with my hand, I slowly approached Jiyoon, who was tearing up while looking at me.
“… Am I… Really…? Really… can I… live as Jinhyeon-nim’s slave?”
“The expression slave.. is a little bit, but.. at least I can treat you like a subordinate. Do what you feel comfortable with, of course you can always quit when you feel better.”
“ah… ”
Seo Ji-yoon begins to shed tears of joy with sincerity in response to my words.
Seeing her like that, I automatically began to put a bitter smile on my lips.
‘Really… Seo Ji-yoon is a nuisance until the end… She’s causing trouble to her children like this.’
Of course, there was a distance from the actual parent-child relationship, but seeing that the existence born by Seo Ji-yoon would shoulder her karma instead, I automatically thought that way.
While feeling sorry for her in so many ways, on the other hand, I accepted her feeling a bit proud of seeing Seo Ji-yoon trying to atone for her sins in this way.
Of course, the annoyances of the girls behind me, which will follow, have caused me concern in many ways.

Seo Ji-yoon and Na Ji-seon returned home immediately after breaking up with Lee Jin-hyun.
Upon arriving home, Seo Ji-yoon immediately started packing with a face full of joy.
“… Are you that good?”
“Yeah, fine. I don’t know if this expression is correct… but it feels like a lifetime wish has come true.”
Seo Ji-yoon with a smile on her face even though she is literally living her life as a slave.
Watching this, Na-sun carefully asked her with an anxious expression on her face.
“I… Jiyoon. May I ask you one thing?”
“yes? What?”
Seo Ji-yoon looks this way with a bright expression in response to her question.
Looking at her face, which looked like a flawless child, Na-sun asked a question in a slightly trembling voice.
“I’m really asking just in case… you. What do you think of him?”
“If it’s that person… Jinhyeon-nim? That, of course, is the purpose of my life and the reason for my existence..”
“No… not like that…”
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Ji-yoon Seo, who is talking about something similar to what she heard earlier, is interrupted by Na-sun Na.
Then, with a bit of determination, she asked Seo Ji-yoon a question again with a slightly flushed expression.
“That.. so.. there is such a thing. Not as a simple object of atonement… as a man… That… I’m asking if you have the feeling of love.”
“!… ”
Seo Ji-yoon looks slightly surprised at Na-sun’s question.
To be honest, it was a story that could have been a pretty embarrassing question, but Na-sun had to ask it nonetheless.
As a woman who still can’t let go of her attachment to a man named Lee Jin-hyun…
And, in response to the friend’s question, Seo Ji-yoon put a gentle smile on her lips.
Unlike before, he replied with a serious expression on his face.
“… I don’t hate it. I can’t even call it love.”
“That…is it?”
“But… honestly, it’s like this now, but I don’t know what it will be like in the future. Already… you know that too, don’t you? What a charming man he is.”
“!…”
Na-sun, who is slightly embarrassed by her words that seem to hit the mark.
Although she had forgotten about it for a while, she came to realize once again that Seo Ji-yoon in front of her had changed her personality, but she knew well what she thought of Lee Jin-hyeon through past memories.
And seeing her like that, Seo Ji-yoon said with a bright smile on her lips.
“Perhaps, depending on the circumstances, we may become competitors. You and me… and those people I saw then.”
Seo Ji-yoon closes the door of the packed bag with those words.
Seeing her like this, Na-sun couldn’t help but feel a bit of a bitter smile on her face.
‘After all… there’s one more formidable competitor…’
