#90. I miss you..
We were able to safely return to Korea after obtaining the prania flowers.
When Ha-rin Yoon reported to the Federation that she had discovered the prania flower, the reporters stationed at the sea base annoyed us very much in order not to miss the special report.
But this was not very surprising.
Whenever the flower of prania appears in the world every few years, the hunter world is always buzzing.
Of course, many companies have expressed their intention to purchase.
Who’s going to end up taking it is also getting attention.
The fact that Ha-rin Yun is the daughter of the head of a GW company was very convenient at times like this.
This was because the person named Ha-rin Youn, the butler, did all the interviews for us, and her attendants blocked all outsiders from bothering us.
Choi In-wook is still unconscious.
Choi In-wook, who was escorted to the hospital as soon as he arrived, was unable to get up again in the vip ward that Yoon Ha-rin took over.
Ding Dong.
“…You did a great job. Yoo Shihwa.”
Hayena.
Choi In-wook’s last wife, she greeted me with a calm voice.
“Manufacturing?”
“I have kept in touch with the master. Perhaps sooner or later, if you hand over the items to Yoon Ha-rin, he will help you.”
“Yes…”
With the bed on which Choi In-wook was lying in the middle, she sat opposite me.
Without a word, I raised her hand and stroked Choi In-wook’s pale cheek.
“It’s just fatigue, but it doesn’t happen very often.”
“You can feel it too. That the magic within Choi In-wook has completely disappeared.”
Hayena’s words were true.
After Choi In-wook’s last attack, Choi In-wook did not detect any magical powers as if he had become an ordinary person.
“…The doctor said it would take quite a long time to recover.”
“No. You can wake up earlier than that.”
This is…
The magic of warm yellow light began to flow from Hayena’s fingertips.
Even if she was the same S-class hunter, the skills she and I could use were completely different.
Hayena’s combat power is probably not even a B-class, but I was well aware that I couldn’t even imitate her current skills.
I could feel Hayena’s magic spreading through Choi In-wook’s magic circuit.
Very delicate work.
If you touch the circuit wrong even once, you don’t know what kind of side effects will occur.
But Hayena’s face was so calm.
I just stared at her amazing technique.
“Whoa…”
After harvesting her magical power, Hayena took a deep breath and exhaled.
“Half day. I think she’ll be able to come to her senses in just half a day.”
Ha Jena gets up from her seat.
“Are you leaving already?”
“I have work to do.”
Her time with her was not so comfortable, but she was aware that she also wanted to stay here.
“Yes.”
A cold silence passed between us.
Our relationship was very different from before.
Before, it was just a relationship.
If we had been arguing over the place of Choi In-wook’s lover, now…
Without Ha Ye-na, Choi In-wook would not have been able to successfully recover forever.
But, if it wasn’t for Na and Yun Ha-rin, Hayena would not have even dreamed of retrieving prania flowers.
The process was difficult, but in the end we were able to fill in each other’s shortcomings.
Obviously I had something to be grateful for.
“Then when Choi In-wook woke up. I beg you.”
Leave those words, Hayena stood up.
“Yes. I will contact you.”
I just watched my back as I left her hospital room.
* *
When you open your eyes, you see a ceiling that is somehow familiar.
When I turn my head, what I see outside the window is the darkened sky.
A thin crescent moon.
The warmth felt in the hand.
Who’s hand is this?
When I turned my head to the other side, I saw the face of Si-hwa sleeping, leaning against the bed frame in a very uncomfortable position.
…I have returned to Korea safely.
The Korean manual you see in the distance was telling me that I had arrived in Korea.
When I got up with a rustling sound, Sihwa seemed to have woken up.
“…Choi Inwook.”
I haven’t slept yet, so Sihwa called my name in a slightly slurred tone.
“Yes. It’s poetry.”
“How are you feeling?”
Body…
That’s right… I’m sure…
I put all my magic into hearing the crazy remark that I would make Sihwa her wife…
I took a breath and looked at the magic circuits.
I remember that I was clearly exhausted around the time I fell, but did I heal myself a little while I was sleeping?
I could feel a very small amount of magic remaining in my body.
“I think it’s fine.”
“It’s good. The doctor said it would take quite a while to wake up.”
“Yes?”
“Yes. Still, I said it was simple fatigue, so I didn’t worry too much.”
Sihwa stretched her out.
“I guess it was because of Hayena’s coming and going. This.”
“Did Jena come and go?”
Sihwa nodded at my words.
“Yes.”
Tidying up her hair, she slowly sorted out what had happened while I was sleeping.
The story of reporters trying to break into the hospital room when Yoon Harin reported that she had obtained the prania flowers and evacuated.
Flowers are now being safely delivered to the ghost.
Even the story of Jena casting a recovery magic for me.
“I did.”
Everyone is for me…
How to thank you for this…
“Choi Inwook. I’m going to see the doctor tomorrow and get permission to go home.”
Sihwa hesitates for a while, not like her.
“Go to Hayena.”
“…Huh?”
Did I hear it wrong?
“Go to Hayena.”
Of course, I thought that I should thank Jena when this journey was over, but I never really expected that such a sound would come out of Sihwa’s mouth.
“Yes.”
“He is you. They seem to miss a lot.”
Sihwa turns his head while speaking freshly.
What kind of change of heart happened? Between them
Did they even have a secret meeting while I was sleeping?
“Still, Choi In-wook.”
“Huh?”
“I’m so glad I got up safely.”
Page.
Sihwa gently kissed my lips.
“I saw you awake, so I’ll just leave.”
“Go in carefully.”
“I will tell the nurse. If you need anything, just ring the bell next to me.”
“I will contact you soon.”
After leaving her words, Sihwa packed her bag and left the hospital room.
I was left alone and looked up at the night sky.

The next day.
The hospital made me do this and that test for discharge.
“Good. Inwook Choi Mr. You may want to retire. Either way, you use your magic power forcibly. Vigorous exercise for a while.”
Ah. Seriously, the thought of wanting to stop listening to this sound in this lifetime came to me.
The first place I went after changing from patient clothes to casual clothes was…
The cafe where Jena works.
Of course, I didn’t check whether today was her working day or not, but I reluctantly opened the door and went inside.
“Welcome.”
A habitual capitalist greeting.
I think I came at the right time.
“Hello.”
I nodded her head to her as I stood in front of her counter.
She was looking at her pose, and when she heard my voice, she raised her head and looked up at me.
“…Choi Inwook.”
“I’ve been there.”
When I smiled, tears began to form in Jena’s eyes.
“I take orders.”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not wanting to show me crying, she turned around and picked up her tissue paper.“It’s what I always ate.”
“Because you haven’t been to our store a few times.”
“Then give me the one you always ate at Jena’s store.”
At my words, Jena tapped the posgi and she held out her hand to me.
“4300 Won.”
“Please share that and Jena-san’s drink.”
“It doesn’t matter because the staff is free.”
She grinned as if she was doing something.
“Well… then, do you have some time after work today?”
“Is it over 10 o’clock when it’s over?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll wait.”
Yena asks me if I’m really okay.
I nodded her head and watched her work.
Maybe it’s because it’s been quite a while since I ran a cafe alone.
Although she was a part-timer, she constantly moved non-stop as if it was her own shop.
The time when almost all the guests have left.
It looked as if there was nothing to do, but she was wiping the dust off the display glass that was placed over there.
9:50.
10 Minutes until the deadline.
As time ran out, Jena asked if she could wait outside for a while.
And after a while.
Jenna turned off all the lights in the store and came out in plain clothes, not a uniform.
“…If you are sick, go home and rest. What are you doing here?”
“I miss you.”
My unadorned sincerity.
“I came all the way here because I missed you, Ha-yeon.”
The soft moonlight illuminated Jena’s slightly recalled face.
