126 – 126. The Great War (1)
In Ji Ye-won’s room, boxes containing clothes and household items were strewn about as if she had just moved her belongings. Yewon Ji, who opened the refrigerator on the side, asked with a frown on her face.
“…… I just got back today and there are no ingredients in the refrigerator. Should I just have it delivered? How are you two?”
“I like it.”
“Me too…… Are you okay.”
Ji Ye-won asked how about a Chinese restaurant since it was moving day, and Ahn Su-ho and Kang Ha-neul nodded moderately. To be honest, I really liked the dinner menu.
Because that’s not what the two of them were interested in right now.
“Hmm. Then.”
Puffed up. Ji Ye-won sat next to the table spread out on the floor. Her eyes scan Ahn Su-ho and Kang Ha-neul.
“If Haneul knows my real name, it must mean that Ahn Su-ho told me about it. Ahn Su-ho, the fact that you told me my real name means that she believes in Kang Ha-neul…….”
Ji Ye-won asked as if tossing her, holding her chin indifferently.
“Are you two dating?”
“Yes.”
Kang Ha-neul answered right away. It was as if she had been waiting for that question.
“I thought so. He said he would put you in the hospital and watch you until you wake up, so I thought you would confess when you wake up. Am I right?”
“I made the confession.”
“Really? Even when I waited until I confessed first, he accepted it and ate it. A very lucky guy, Ahn Su-ho?”
Yewon Ji smiled and let go of her hands. Ahn Su-ho was still speechless as he was taken aback by the sudden situation. From his point of view, it was strange that the other two people were pouring out their words as if they had been waiting for this situation.
“You know what? I’m also dating Suho. There’s no way that Suho didn’t tell the story while accepting your confession…… “
“Yes. I heard everything.”
“How was it? The man he confessed to was already dating another woman. Even when he said he wanted to straddle the subject with confidence. Are you okay?”
“How could it have been okay? Of course I was very angry. I was very sad again, and my brother really resented me.”
But.
After adding that, Kang Ha-neul took a deep breath. She then woo-woo, and exhaled deeply as she continued with her determined eyes.
“I agreed to concede. Because I really like my brother. And my brother really loves me too. Her sister is a bit of an eyesore, but if she can connect with her brother, that’s enough. I decided to think so.”
It’s a thorn in the eye. Kang Ha-neul openly showed hostility towards Ji Ye-won. It was natural. Aside from forgiving Ahn Su-ho’s legs, she couldn’t have good feelings for her Ji Ye-won.
“By the way, sister.”
So Kang Ha-neul wanted to make sure the relationship between himself and Ji Ye-won was decided here today. It’s a relationship, or to put it a little too radically, it’s like a hierarchy.
“You know that Suho oppa participated in the overrank dungeon raid today, right? I was so worried that as soon as my brother contacted me, I immediately rushed to the hospital. I guess you weren’t even worried about her brother?”
It was a blatant sarcasm. Kang Ha-neul tried to solidify his position by holding Ji Ye-won in check today.
Yeah, just like the royal wife and concubine of a nobleman in the Joseon Dynasty. Even though she was late in dating, she said that she was An Su-ho’s first lover.
It was a childish idea and action. However, such Kang Ha-neul also seemed cute to Ji Ye-won, who had lived a life full of ups and downs. Ji Ye-won answered the river sky with her childish smile.
“Yes. That’s right. Aren’t you really worried?”
“Yes?”
At those words, Kang Ha-neul made a puzzled expression. On the other hand, Ji Ye-won had a relaxed face.
“If it was An Su-ho, I believed that she would do well. He’s not an idiot to get his head into a no-win fight. So she wasn’t really worried.”
“No matter what, it’s an overrank dungeon. But it makes sense that I’m not worried-“
“Then you don’t trust Suho?”
At her sharp question, her river sky’s expression froze.
It was sophistry. No matter how much he believed in Ahn Su-ho, as a loved one, there was no way he wouldn’t be worried. In fact, Ji Ye-won was also quite worried about Ahn Su-ho, although she did not express it.
Even so, the reason she answered like that was because she was playing along to the rhythm of the river and the sky. She attacked Ahn Su-ho, saying, “I’m not even worried about it.”
“Well, anyway, you worked hard, Ahn Su-ho. I knew you could do it. There doesn’t seem to be any serious injuries. I’m glad.”
Ji Ye-won looked away from Kang Ha-neul, who was speechless, and smiled at Ahn Su-ho. As she held out her hand as if she had done a good job, Ahn Soo-ho shook her hand.
It wasn’t enough that he skillfully escaped from the trap Kang Ha-neul dug, so he kept her speechless and had a natural skinship with Ahn Su-ho.
In the course of that series of events, Kang Ha-neul trembled with her mouth slightly open.
However. Ji Ye-won’s attack? Is not over yet.
“Ah! My mission is over, so I’ll return this now.”
Yewon Ji brushed her hair gently, revealing her ears. There, the cross of cold flame Ahn Soo-ho gave her was shaking like her earrings.
Deliberately revealing her cross to Kang Ha-neul proudly, she handed it to Ahn Su-ho.
“I saw a lot thanks to this artifact during my mission. Thanks to you, I was able to come back safely. Thank you so much.”
“…… Thank you. And you don’t have to give it back. You just have it.”
“Are you okay? It’s a bit hard to get such a precious artifact for free…….”
“You are still being targeted by the Dawning. You have more than I-“
At that moment, Ahn Su-ho’s words stopped at the gaze of Kang Ha-neul, who seemed to stab him from the side. Wanting to regret it, he slowly looks back at the river sky.
“…… Brother. What is it?”
“Huh? This? This is the-“
“This is a gift that Suho Ahn gave me to commemorate the day he decided to go out with me.”
“Celebrating…… Gift…… ?”
I didn’t have anything like that back then.
A sad thought that came to mind was revealed on Kang Ha-neul’s face. Turning her head slightly, her gaze coldly pricked Ahn Su-ho’s conscience.
‘It’s cute.’
Seeing that, Ji Ye-won laughed inwardly. Kang Ha-neul, struggling to somehow get ahead of her, and Ahn Su-ho, embarrassed to be caught between two women, were too cute to Ji Ye-won.
‘But I’ll have to stop soon.’
Unlike Haneul, her river, Yewon Ji did not have any ill feelings toward her rival. She was the first to suggest that Ahn Soo-ho, who was hesitant in the first place, cross her legs instead.
Unlike Kang Ha-neul, who has a strong desire for monopoly, Ji Ye-won was satisfied as long as Ahn Su-ho loved her. That doesn’t mean he welcomes her three, four, five girlfriends over and over again, but she’ll probably let it go, even if she does.
It wasn’t normal. Rather, Kang Ha-neul, who showed jealousy or hostility toward Ji Ye-won, was closer to the top. Ji Ye-won’s twisted view of love was due to the environment she grew up in.
She was trained as a spy for the Dawning Corps from a young age, and was raised as a chess horse, not a human.
She had no experience of being loved by anyone in her life. Her relationship with her friend Kim Min-ah was also more like friendship than her love. Because of this, unlike Kang Ha-neul, who has an ordinary view of love, she was fully satisfied with her current situation.
Her For her, the only situation she wanted to avoid was Ahn Su-ho abandoning her. So, she was satisfied with her current situation.
She
She was going to be satisfied.
It was an unconscious defense mechanism in case An Su-ho would be disappointed in himself if he was not satisfied or tolerated this relationship.
“Brother. I know this question is childish. Why did you give presents only to Yewon unnie? Why am I not there?”
“A misunderstanding should be misunderstood. It wasn’t a gift, but Ji Ye-won gave it to her in case she would be in danger because of the mission Min Chae-ryeong ordered. It’s just that the day I gave it to you coincidentally coincided with the day we started dating…… “
“I was always kidnapped, attacked, isolated and in danger…….”
“Kuhmm…… “
A subtle smile appeared on Ji Ye-won’s face as she watched the two bickering. She likes one man and two women have this relationship. Although she is unfamiliar, it dawned on her that she was not too bad.
“…… Well, if you look closely, I did receive a present on the day we decided to date. It’s not something you can see, but it’s a really satisfying gift.”
“A gift? I do that…… Ah.”
Belatedly understanding Kang Ha-neul’s words, Ahn Su-ho exclaimed. An intangible gift given on the day we decided to date. There was only one guess.
“…… I really liked that day, brother. Did you like my brother too?”
Kang Ha-neul whispered and winked. The suggestion turned Ahn Su-ho’s suspicion into certainty. Kang Ha-neul was talking about the gift the two had s*x the night before the dungeon raid.
‘No matter how openly I say it like this-!’
It was a small whisper, but there is no way Jiyewon across the table, who was less than a meter away, couldn’t hear it. Kang Ha-neul also knew that fact. Rather, it was a voice to be heard.
Ahn Soo-ho looked at Ji Ye-won in a cold sweat. However, Ji Ye-won, contrary to his expectations, still had a calm expression.
I thought you would hate it or feel uncomfortable.
Ahn Soo-ho thought so, and soon realized. When she thought about it, she said there was no reason for Ji Ye-won to be uncomfortable with the fact that she and Kang Ha-neul had s*x.
Yeah, Ji Ye-won not only confessed, but even had s*x before Kang Ha-neul.
When Kang Ha-neul hinted at the relationship between the two, Ji Ye-won was a little surprised, but that was all. On the same day she confessed that she was the only one because she had a relationship with Ahn Soo-ho. And that too in the next room where Kang Ha-neul is asleep.
Thanks to that, when Kang Ha-neul openly provoked her, she felt sorry, or sympathy for her, rather than her jealousy or anger. What would happen if, while the river sky stretched out after drinking that day, she confessed to Ahn Su-ho like a stray cat and found out that she rubbed her skin right away…….
“…… Ahn Su-ho is like a person who is sick of this blessing. Even me wasn’t enough, so he even seduced such a cute kid and put her on both legs.”
However, Ji Ye-won had no intention of revealing the fact. In a way, she was cheating on Kang Ha-neul, but even if she said it unnecessarily, she would be shocked and suffer.
At least until Kang Ha-neul asks directly, she won’t have to come out and reveal her truth.
“Listening to what you are saying, it seems like you have already exhausted your progress on the day you confessed. As an elder, I would like to point out that you should thoroughly use birth control. Don’t listen to Suho Ahn trying to persuade you by saying things like, ‘You can just take it off right before you cum’. Got it?”
It was Ji Ye-won’s advice that she had s*x without her contraceptive device earlier. Recognizing the suggestion, Ahn Su-ho’s expression hardened.
On the other hand, Kang Ha-neul was embarrassed. It was because Ji Ye-won’s attitude was too relaxed even though she was relaxed. No matter how much she tolerated her legs, it was an overly placid attitude even after hearing these words to her face.
‘Something doesn’t feel right… ….’
Her calm demeanor made Kang Ha-neul feel an inexplicable sense of defeat. I don’t know why, but for some reason, she feels like she lost to Ji Ye-won.
-Ding Dong
“Oh, it must have been delivered. I’ll go out and come back.”
Kang Ha-neul’s gaze followed Ji Ye-won’s back toward the front door. In her eyes, there were complex emotions that could not be expressed in one word.
Her attitude was always calm despite her own provocations. A relaxed expression as if she was looking down on herself from above her head. Kang Ha-neul felt uncomfortable with Ji Ye-won’s attitude. She must have missed something.
‘…… What the hell is there to believe in, so you can be so relaxed? Besides what? Do you have good contraception? Seriously, who are you to interfere in my and her brother’s s*x life…… ‘
That moment.
‘………… No way?’
A flashing possibility flashed through Kang Ha-neul’s mind. Her gaze slowly turns to Ahn Su-ho.
“…… Why? Sky?”
Ahn Su-ho looked strangely nervous. She couldn’t guess his intentions from that attitude alone, but she was enough to turn Kang Ha-neul’s suspicion into certainty.
‘Couldn’t Ji Ye-won have already slept with her brother?’
When? The question was meaningless. It was obvious that she would have been faster than the river or sky whenever she slept.
‘I see. That’s why I was so relaxed.’
Ji Ye-won already had a relationship with Ahn Su-ho. That’s why even though he provoked her by suggesting s*x in front of her, she didn’t get eaten. That’s why he showed a relaxed attitude as if looking down from above.
‘…… It’s a winner’s margin, isn’t it?’
Ji Ye-won did not show off the composure of a winner. It was just that he gently passed over Kang Ha-neul’s cute provocation. However, the passing method was a little bad. Talking about birth control in front of her face and hinting at her relationship with Ahn Su-ho, Kang Ha-neul couldn’t help but feel like she looked down on herself.
“Ha.”
At that thought, a low sneer leaked from Kang Ha-neul’s mouth. A cold chill pervades her expression.
“…… They don’t even know the topic of extra years.”
A word muttered so softly that even Ahn Su-ho, who was right next to him, couldn’t hear it.
In Kang Ha-neul, the hostility toward Ji Ye-won began to grow rapidly.
