“So I’m going to teach Ha Seo-ho how to look good… … .”
“Shiho and the person in charge are together.”
When Shiho opened her small chest and spoke, Josiah turned her gaze to her red cheeks.
I don’t know where I’m looking because I’m blind.
“… … really?”
Then, looking at me, I asked, and I nodded my head.
“Really.”
Otherwise, you will keep following me.
“okay.”
In the end, Josiah graciously accepted our advice.
After that we found a rest room.
There was no one there at the time, so when we sat there and started talking, Josiah scratched his head.
“Since when did you like Seo-ho?”
“Since high school. At the graduation ceremony, I can’t see you anymore, so I understand.”
Seoho was 25 years old, so it was said that he had been in a one-sided love for at least 5 years.
After hearing that, I turned to Shiho.
“Shiho, is there anyone Seoho is dating?”
“No. Because it’s stupid.”
What kind of existence is Seo-ho to Shi-ho?
In my opinion, the reason why Seoho didn’t date a woman is that he has the greatest responsibility for his family.
‘When Shiho becomes an adult, it will change a bit.’
I thought that if Shiho started to become independent, Seoho would lose his mind too.
“right. So that’s the problem. Ha Seo-ho, because you openly show that you don’t like her.”
Because of that, Josiah also had a gloomy expression as if she had not been able to confess until now.
“I’m not the only one who has unrequited love for nothing.”
“Still, aren’t you pretty close with Seo-ho?”
“You must be thinking that I am one-sidedly arguing next to you.”
That’s correct.
“If I don’t follow him, I’m sure Ha Seo-ho will immediately forget me.”
“Ah, I hope so.”
“It’s because Ha-chan Kang, a student, doesn’t know his narrow relationship very well.”
To me, he’s just a cool little brother.
Seoho-ni, who politely sends a text message every day saying, ‘Did you have a good lunch, brother?’
“Is there a way to make Ha Seo-ho look good?”
Josiah lowered her head gloomy as if she had given up on the old evening.
Since unrequited love had been around for a long time, it seemed that he did not know how to develop it.
The problem is I don’t know.
As a single mother, what do I know?
When I looked back at Shiho, she said it was not difficult.
“You just have to be friendly with the person in charge or Shiho and avoid Ha Seo-ho.”
“Avoid it? Ha Seo-ho?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Josiah gave her a look that she didn’t understand.
Of course, I didn’t understand it either.
“Ha Seo-ho is an idiot, so he has very few relationships, so he’s weak against people who get along well with people around him.”
Hearing those words, I remembered that Seoho approached me after asking for my number first.
It was obviously because of Shiho.
“And if the person you are close with doesn’t care about you, you try to be friendly with yourself.”
“But I and Ha Seo-ho have known each other for seven years.”
“It doesn’t matter. Ha Seo-ho doesn’t really care about Josiah unnie.”
In an instant, I felt sorry for Josiah.
Josiah looked like the world had collapsed as if he had been shot down by Shiho’s sharp words.
enfant terrible.
“So, if you show that Shiho and the manager get along well, Ha Seo-ho will try to get along well with Josiah unnie as well.”
“really?”
“Yeah, Seo-ho Ha approaches first, and when he starts calling, you can pretend to be close from then on. Then I won’t refuse. Instead, you can either follow it every day or not. I have to let Ha Seo-ho follow me, not my sister.”
Then Shiho looked at me.
It was because all of the explanations that Shiho is giving now were because I accidentally did it to Seoho.
Had I unconsciously said that I was attacking the West Lake?
I nodded my head as I smirked, thinking I was more likely than Josiah.
“It’s just as Shiho said. If you do that, the West Lake will definitely fall over.”
I’m sure I’ve experienced it.
“Can I at least accept what I said now?”
After hearing our story, Josiah turned on a notepad on her cell phone and spoke.
I’m pretty serious.
From that day on, Josiah’s attack on the West Lake began.
She appeared next to me from time to time and talked to me.
At first, she had a good sense of humor, so there was no need to pretend to be friendly.
While talking with her, Seo-ho suddenly came to this side, and she followed Shi-ho’s words and naturally avoided the seat.
“… … Hachan-nim, are you close with Josiah?”
“I talked to him and he wasn’t a bad person.”
That’s why I appealed to Seo-ho, who sneakily asked me, that I was close with Josiah.
In the meantime, Shiho also came to the academy and showed Seoho how he was sitting next to me and pretending to be friendly with Josiah.
The real purpose of coming to the academy seemed to be something else, but apparently it was.
I wondered if I could go in and out of the Hunter Training Academy without permission like this, but after thinking about it, I wondered what the problem was because she was a hunter.
Besides, I wanted to quietly graduate from the academy for the first time, so Josiah was able to converse with me according to the situation, avoiding crowds.
Thanks to you, I didn’t have any eyes on me.
“There are a lot of people around Ha-chan these days.”
That’s how I spent each day at the Hunter Training Academy.
Perhaps it was because Shiho and Josiah were both absent today, the silver tree spoke to me.
“Oh, how come. This is how it happened.”
Even if I deceived the eyes of others, I could not deceive the eyes of Eun-nam, who shared the same room with me and was taking classes with me.
So she noticed my relationship with Josiah.
In the first place, she could not have known because she had seen through my relationship with Seo-ho.
I thought the academy was going to be quiet, but I don’t know how I got involved in this.
“It’s fun to be with Ha-chan.”
“I’m sorry I made a noise.”
“Including that part, they say it’s fun.”
The silver tree looked at me with the usual languid smile.
Even though he had a male face, he knew that he was a woman inside.
“I’m glad you came to the academy.”
Looking back, why did Eunnamu come to the Hunter Training Academy?
It felt like I needed a Hunter’s certificate, but I knew nothing about her.
Because the silver tree wasn’t the type to talk about herself.
‘Is it the same in the world of Baeksan?’
I do not know.
However, I often felt that it was quite comfortable to talk to her.
She was a charming person who made those around her comfortable.
“Silver Tree.”
“yes?”
“What are you going to do when the academy is over?”
Hearing my question, she blinked once.
Then she started to laugh a little as if she was making a strange noise.
“After the Hunter Training Academy is over, isn’t something usually decided?”
“It is, though.”
I stopped talking.
I heard from Baeksan that you are killing returnees.
I couldn’t ask her like that.
The sunset was setting over the sky.
The shade that extended from the sunset created a shade over the face of the silver tree, and for some reason, that appearance made me very concerned.
Did you know that she is a returnee?
Even the returnees around me were living with a lot of pain in their arms.
If so, maybe silver trees are the same.
“I just wanted to tell you to contact me if you have any difficulties after the academy is over.”
“Ha-chan wants to keep in touch with me even after the academy is over.”
“Silver tree, you weren’t. I was hurt.”
“Sorry, can I get you a band-aid?”
The two of us smiled once saying that.
“It’s crazy. I told you not to get involved, but you did it on purpose. hey! Don’t pretend you didn’t hear! Ha-chan Kang!”
I decided to pretend I didn’t hear.
‘Four days ahead.’
Time goes really well.
The situation has come that the Hunter Training Academy will be over in four days.
At that moment, I got a text message.
I lifted the phone and soon had to doubt my eyes.
[ Domi oppa, I’m going there tomorrow. ]
Suddenly, Ayu comes to the academy.
16
Why is Ayu suddenly coming to the academy?
After receiving a text message from Ayu yesterday, I have been thinking about various things.
Ayu is not a Hunter.
Even if there is no public access, the Hunter Training Academy is a place that no one can just enter.
‘Then why did Ayu come?’
The answer was very simple.
‘Something involving a returnee happened at the academy.’
Realizing that, I was troubled.
Most of the reasons that returnees have to step forward are related to returnees.
And who is by my side now?
‘Silver Tree.’
I saw her mumbling a sandwich from lunch today.
As she ate the sandwich with her small mouth, she made eye contact with me, took turns looking at the sandwich with me, and then picked up the sandwich she was eating.
“I want to eat?”
“Do you treat people like dogs?”
“Because the eyes are like that.”
Then I watched her eat the sandwich again, and I made a complicated face.
If Ayu really came to find the silver tree, what should I do?
‘Because it’s not right to judge by my own standards.’
Even if I became close with the silver tree, I don’t know what she was doing.
This is because, as Baeksan said, she may have lived by killing returnees.
She even disguised herself as a man and hid her identity. To be honest, there were many possibilities.
Returnees are victims of a dimensional shift, but as Ayu once said, not all returnees are good people.
There are people who commit crimes like Kira-seong casually.
‘if so.’
Should I tell Ayu about the silver tree right away?
While I was thinking about things, I finished eating and got up from my seat.
woo woo woo-
Then, the phone, which had been set to vibrate just in time, started to ring.
When I checked the number, it was Ayu’s call saying that even a tiger would come if I said it.
“hello.”
[ Domi oppa, I’m out! I’m the front door ]
Hearing those words, I turned to the silver tree.
“Silver tree, can I come over for a little bit of work?”
“Yeah, do that.”
Leaving the silver tree waving my hand, I immediately started moving.
At that moment, no one was at the front door, and as I glanced around, someone tapped my shoulder after a while.
“Aww.”
When I turned my head, there was Ayu who had stabbed my cheek with her index finger.
