#34. You touched the wrong person.
Sihwa looked up and looked at me with a tense expression on her face.
Why did she show such a face in my words, who did not lose her composure even in the face of that powerful monster.
The answer was fixed.
The battle just before contained more content than any other conversation.
What was contained in the last attack was our history and a piece of love.
Everything else could have been dismissed as maybe I was mistaken, but this one was telling me the undeniable truth.
Me and Sihwa. The two of us…
“…Yes.”
What should I say?
Where should I start?
The mouth did not fall.
The images she had shown in this life of her passed by like a panorama.
Then, one by one, the pieces that I did not understand began to find their place.
How did you know my name?
Why did Harin keep bringing up the story in front of me?
Why did you eat tteokbokki so well?
“…No.”
In the end, I couldn’t decide how to react, so I kept my mouth shut.
When the owner of the hidden dungeon disappeared, the space of the dungeon began to collapse.
Clearly, it was the dungeon that collapsed…
Why did my heart also collapse?
* *
We returned to the last floor of the Guryongsan dungeon.
But the air current between the two of us did not come back.
The still and heavy air seemed to suffocate.
“…Is it okay if I use this black?”
I asked her in a voice that was as casual as possible.
“…Yeah. It doesn’t matter.”
Sihwa looked at me with her eyes with her words that she wanted to do something with her, but I turned away from her and turned her back to her dungeon’s exit, looking only in front of her.
It seemed that she could not have a rational conversation with her now.
“Wow! You all worked hard! Are there any injuries?”
The office staff welcomed us back safely.
“Yes. It’s fine.”
I wanted to get out of this space quickly.
I needed some alone time.
After signing that I went to the list, I opened the door and went outside.
The darkened night sky seemed to represent my feelings.
“Choi Inwook.”
Sihwa called my name carefully.
“Why.”
I wanted to answer calmly as if nothing had happened, but my answer that came out was very hard.
“How are you going home?”
“Take the bus.”
“I’ll give you a ride.”
“I’m fine.”
It was not a situation where she and her were in a car alone.
“Don’t do that, just ride it…”
“You said it was okay!”
I interrupted her.
I apologized to her for being a bit overly nervous about her.
“…I’m sorry. I want to go alone today. See you at the academy. Sihwa.”
“…Choi Inwook.”
“Sorry.”
After those words, I trudged down the slope without looking back.
After I confirmed that she had disappeared from my view, I stopped and let out a sigh.
“Ha.”
I was very sick of cigarettes that I had not touched in this life.
I stopped by a nearby convenience store and bought the guy I always smoked and set it on fire.
Kolokkolok.
I still didn’t get used to it, so a cough leaked out, but I couldn’t stand it.
“It’s Sihwa…”
Looking at the cigarette smoke, I called out her last name.
* *
Why…?
Why are you lying to me?
Why?
After receiving the butler’s report, I bit my nails.
I didn’t understand.
You obviously told me you were going alone today… But what is this…
In the photo that the butler sent me, there were two people talking in front of the dungeon entrance.
The person looking at the front in the photo is the man who will become my husband. Inwook Choi.
And her face was not contained, but now a woman can be recognized just by looking at her back. Yoo Shihwa.
According to the butler’s report, the two of them cleared the dungeon safely and came out together.
This is… Something must have gone wrong.
Inwook wasn’t the kind of person who lied to me and went to meet other women.
I was such a man who looked only at me…
“…Shihwa Yoo.”
It was clear that that year had seduced Inwook.
It’s not enough to ignore the warning already, so you’re trying to take the seat next to Inwook…?
I felt that the string of patience that was tight inside me was breaking.
It’s good enough to climb.
She clenched her fist.
Sapil Guijeong.
Everything goes back to the right path.
Wait. Inwook-ah.
I will guide you on the right path.
* *
“Inwook-ah!”
Today, Inwook looked strangely dazed.
Is there something wrong…
Was it possible that I met Yoo Shi-hwa and felt guilty because I wanted to see my face?
Yes! I thought it was probably very likely.
To be honest, I was dissatisfied that he lied to me, but I couldn’t listen to it.
If I found out that I had attached a person to him, I certainly wouldn’t have liked him.
But seeing him as if reflecting a little bit, I felt my heart soften a little.
I’m fine. I am Harin Yoon. She had never been such a narrow-minded woman.
I haven’t been officially dating yet, but I can meet some other women.
It is very hot that it is Yu Shihwa.
Even so, I was a little offended that Inwook didn’t focus on me.
“Choi In-wook!”
At that time, it was Inwook who was looking at me.
“Oh, sorry.”
Inwook had a unique smile when he apologized for not listening to me sincerely.
“Chi… Did you forget to have dinner with me today?”
“Of course not.”
In-wook scratched his head as if bewildered and answered.
“Then let’s go to the same place after class later. Okay?”
“Okay.”
But the thought of being able to go on a date with him made me feel better.
It was a pity that we couldn’t go to the dungeon together, but a private meeting like this will help build intimacy much more than a job-like meeting.
* *
“Inwook-ah. Is there anything bad about it?”
I thought it was because of a sense of guilt, but because of that, Inwook’s atmosphere was too dark.
“No… Nothing special…”
What… Did Yoo Shihwa even mention what I did?
Or maybe I did something to offend him?
I started to get nervous at Inwook’s slightly sudden change of attitude.
I thought you would like it if you bring me a nice restaurant…
Even this restaurant was a place where In-wook and In-wook from previous lives often came to eat.
I can’t believe it doesn’t suit his taste…?
“Is the food not to your liking? Would you like to go somewhere else?”
If it was a problem on that level, I was willing to get up and go to another restaurant right now.
“No no no. It’s delicious. Thank you. Harin-ah.”
Then what the hell is the problem?
I wanted to beat my chest in frustration.
Say it! Say it! Why aren’t you talking and being so stubborn!
I knew how annoying it was to keep asking questions to someone who said nothing was happening.
And knowing that In-wook doesn’t like that kind of tenacious style, I put up with the words that came up to my throat.
Unable to do this or that, I put the food in my mouth and chewed it.
There is only taste…
I was expecting a more friendly atmosphere.
Is the fatigue from yesterday’s dungeon still accumulating?
I tried to guess the cause of this while chewing food without saying a word.
Inwook put the fork down for a while and stared at me.
What… What? Come on.
In-wook, who was looking at me with unknown eyes, opened his mouth.
“Harina.”
“Huh?”
I was salivating at the rather serious look of him.
“Do you know what my mother likes the most?”
That’s Samgyetang!
I don’t even know what your mother likes.
In my previous life, my mother said that she likes samgyetang, so I referred to the video and boiled it with sweat.
I remembered the time when I tried so hard to look really good.
“That’s it…”
The answer came to mind so clearly, I almost gave an answer without thinking.
“How do I know. Hehe.”
I almost spit out the answer.
Obviously, if I got this right, I would be treated as a strange stalker.
But… Why the hell did Inwook ask this question?
You look very serious, but is that the only question you ask?
You didn’t even tell me in this life.
“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No. You certainly didn’t tell me this.Maybe… Are you mistaken for telling me what you told Sihwa?
Suddenly, as soon as I had that thought, I felt a surge of irritation.
I started to lose control of my facial expressions.
“Haha… Inwook… You’re mistaken with someone. You are now.”
In-wook realized his mistake at that time, so he hurriedly tried to rectify the situation.
“No. It’s an illusion. Sorry for sounding weird.”
…A lie.
It was a lie again.
I was married after dating for 4 years.
I can’t even understand your lies.
He obviously had something he was hiding from me.
I even promised with my fingers that we would not hide anything…
“…Get up.”
I told Inwook to go out first.
“Huh? Did you eat it all?”
There was still quite a bit of food left on the plate.
Who do you think is the fault of your taste buds?
“Yes. I ate it all.”
I swiped my card without even asking his opinion and went home leaving only the words that I had an urgent business.
I returned to my room and picked up my phone.
[Yes. Dad. Is it okay if I ask you just one favor?]
You touched the wrong person. Yoo Shihwa.
