#127. …The future has changed.
If I could only have children, I would have a really happy life.
I thought that the root of my unhappiness was because I did not have children, and there were times when I resented why God had given me such trials.
And now.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now that the element of infertility, which I thought was my only flaw, disappeared.I was alone in the corner of the room, drinking only soju.
“Ha…”
Their faces kept glimmering.
Poetry that I was arguing with while getting angry.
Harin asked me with a sad expression.
Jena said she was not confident while shedding tears.
I should have asked the spirit of the beginning.
Is it true that I can only have one child?
I said there was only one child who could save the world, but there was no explanation other than that.
However, if I impregnated someone with an easy mind and that was the last step, I was sure to inflict indelible wounds on my other ex-wives.
If you choose one person, get married, and have children, will a happy married life await after that?
I didn’t know if the newly born child would be able to quench the thirst I had longed for, but if it does…
…I was drunk.

“Choi Inwook. Are you so dissatisfied that I called you?”
This man, who would not be able to make children with me right away, was sitting in front of me with the risk of death.
“No. That’s not it.”
“Then why don’t we laugh a little?”
“It’s Sihwa. You’re not smiling either.”
After… I was pissed off talking back, but if I laughed and Choi In-wook laughed, I could make him laugh again and again.
When he raised the corner of his mouth so that his white teeth were clearly visible, Inwook Choi made a playful expression.
“Why. I laughed because I asked you to smile.”
“You look like you’ve killed a person, don’t you?”
“…I still know that I am pretty.”
A week has passed since the meeting with Choi In-wook’s ex-wives.
At first I was so absurd and angry that I couldn’t contain my anger, but after cooling my head, it was clear what I was going to do.
Anyway, this game was structurally advantageous to me.
The most suitable person to have the strongest child is the strongest woman.
If I didn’t show an overly angular appearance, victory would come naturally to me.
And today was a good opportunity to show that I am keeping my composure.
I even called Ji-eun Lee, who didn’t even want to be afraid to see the two of them together.
“Master!”
Lee Ji-eun waving her hand as if happy.
Her frankly, I didn’t like it at all, but I wanted to greet her with the most gentle expression on her face.
“Uh. Ji Eun-ah.”
“I didn’t know that we would meet again so soon, did you?”
…Do you two see each other often these days?
It must be difficult to find time to train separately after entering the association’s apprenticeship.
I did it in my freshman year, so I could say that I knew it better than anyone else.
There were days when I didn’t have time to make other appointments or fuss.
In the meantime, we met separately… Hmm…
Just 3 seconds ago, I thought I’d show a calm side, but my irritation started creeping in.
“Lee Ji-eun. You go ahead and order a drink.”
I made up my mind not to do that, but the angular tone came out.
“Oh. I guess so. What do you eat?”
She talked to herself and left her bag behind.
“Ha…”
As he took a deep breath and touched his forehead, Inwook Choi put on a surprised expression.
“But you two talk often at the association, don’t you?”
Is that possible?
Is there something I should talk about with Susukdari?
Even though I am a new member of the association, it is safe to say that there is a wall between me and Lee Ji-eun that is difficult to fathom.
I haven’t been officially assigned a rank yet, but my temporary rank is now S rank.
Considering that perhaps the highest person in Lee Ji-eun’s department would be an A, it was normal for Lee Ji-eun to not say a word to me.
“Yes. Not often.”
“That is a strange thing. You don’t take care of anyone else.”
It might be hurtful if other people heard it, but it was common sense among us.
“I’m living a new life, but I can’t even get enough of this.”
“What is it? Did Ji-eun just take a look at her, so she’s still in love?”
“I’ll do that for now.”
It seemed better to say this to win Choi In-wook’s favor.
It was only that Choi In-wook didn’t treat her Lee Ji-eun as her opposite sex. She could tell at a glance, but it was also true that he thought of her as special.
“Oh. But I always feel that association drinks are so expensive.”
“It’s a monopoly here.”
“I’m sure you didn’t come from a time machine, so look at the answer right away.”
Lee Ji-eun responds with a timid smile.
“…A time machine?”
When I looked at Choi In-wook with an expression asking for an explanation, he shrugged.
“I don’t know. He said he took a time machine to see me?”
…It looks similar. It.
“You Shihwa. You also came in a time machine. With him.”
Lee Ji-eun tries to drive me as if she knows everything.
“You have to say something like a horse before you respond.”
“Hey. But why do you call people and talk like that?”
“No. Then they talk nonsense that they came from a time machine, but do you think it makes more sense to say, ‘Yeah, that’s right, I’m actually from the future~’?”
Lee Ji-eun turned her body to look at Choi In-wook, perhaps because of her sarcasm.
Yes. Better look there.
“Oh. There is a master. Did I hear something really great today?”
Lee Ji-eun drank the strawberry smoothie with a straw, looked around and whispered to us in a low voice.
“You Shihwa. You wouldn’t even know this.”
Choi In-wook smiles like he’s cute.
But I knew the meaning of that smile.
Because I was also barely holding back the laughter.
It was obvious that it was an association job or a hunter job, but why would you say it like that, as if you were giving us confidential information?
Of course, Lee Ji-eun herself didn’t know, so I thought she was going to do this, so I gently brought her ear closer to her.
“What is it? It’s so fussy.”
When Choi In-wook answered, listening to her daughter’s story from kindergarten, she began to warn us.
“This is really a story we only talk about. You know?”
“Okay. Okay. What a great thing, yes.”
“There are signs that a level 6 monster will appear…!”
Huh…?
It was that moment.
Choi In-wook’s eyes crossed when I came out of the air.
“No. What are you talking about. Ji Eun-ah. The monster level is only up to level 5.”
“So this is confidential. These people.”
When we reacted like we didn’t believe her, she rolled her feet in frustration.
“I happened to hear about the team leader talking today too, and then I found out?”
“Where was it found?”
“Jinhae? I think I heard it.”
Choi In-wook’s face, who had a smile on his lips, hardened.
…Jinhae. Level 6.
“Again. What else did you hear?”
It was strange.
Because the time has not yet come for the level 6 monster to appear.
To be honest, I thought I had just heard rumors, but the moment I heard the name of the region, I and Choi In-wook couldn’t help but wince.
In fact, the first level 6 monster in Korea was observed in Jinhae.
Since it was the name of a city that will be devastated after Busan, both of us must have clearly remembered it.
“The flow of magic power at the gate on the Jinhae side is unstable, but the radar sometimes says that the level rises to an unusually high level.”
…It was the same. Then and
“But it’s not certain, but sometimes it’s just a possibility. I can’t even hear the details.”
It was after graduating from the academy.
3 Years is too early.
If what Lee Ji-eun heard is true…
When I looked up at Choi In-wook, he was also looking down at the table with a serious face.
“No. But why aren’t you talking like this? Isn’t this funny? Shall we talk about something else?”
Maybe it was because his expression was hard and hard, but Lee Ji-eun looked at us.
“No. Ji Eun-ah. If you hear anything else about it, you should let me know. Got it?”
“Eh. It’s confidential, so it might be difficult if we don’t meet and talk in person?”
“Then tell me to meet. Got it.”
When Choi In-wook spoke in a serious voice, Lee Ji-eun nodded his head.
“Hey, it’s nice to see your face.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
Weeeeeing.
The mobile phone vibrated from Ji-eun Ji-eun’s side.
“Oh, yes. Manager. Yes. Yeah? Now? You said 30 minutes earlier… Ah… Yes. Then I’ll go up right now.”
Emergency call at a glance.
Having suffered a lot during her probationary years, I could see clearly what she had to say.
“Oh. Sorry. I think I have to go first because I have a job.”
“Uh-huh. Climb comfortably. We’ll talk a little more.”
“Yes. Then see you again. See the poem again.”
As if there was no time to wave his hand, Lee Ji-eun immediately ran away.
I called his name in a low voice as soon as I saw that she was out of sight.
“Choi Inwook.”
“Yes.”
“This is…”
He nodded, knowing immediately what I was trying to say.
“…The future has changed.”
