The Kids I Saved Are Too Strong chapter 4

4 – Hayeon Baek-4

“Why don’t you sit down?”

Her voice was full of playfulness as she smiled happily and pointed to the seat in front of the sofa.

What’s so fun about it? Could it be that he noticed that I was his brother?

no it can’t be There’s no way you can tell that it’s me just by looking at it yesterday. I didn’t have brilliant white hair like her, nor did I have recognizable golden eyes.

As he grew up, his personality changed and he seemed to enjoy even the smallest things.

“What are you doing here?”

I unconsciously scanned the inside of the store.

Except for Baek Ha-yeon, no other guests were seen, and the items were all in their places without any damage.

The boss was just wary of her, but she didn’t show any injuries.

“Let’s sit down and talk.”

It was a very natural command. He was confident as if he were the owner of this space.

– Kiki Iik

An unpleasant noise from an old sofa filled the store.

When I sat down as far away from her as possible, she put on a sad expression.

The sight of it broke my heart.

`I was caught.`

How did you get caught? We only met once yesterday? Could it be that you’ve known each other since we met yesterday?

When the unanswerable questions come to mind, she still maintains a mischievous expression and opens her mouth.

“I came to you with a few questions.”

“You know how I work here and you came to find me.”

A chilly smile appeared. It was unpleasant that he was an S-class awakener, his old younger brother, and Nabal, and that he was behind him.

“I just asked the people around me, did you feel bad? That’s cute.”

“Are you around?”

“I just asked the security guard who worked in the slum border area.”

A cruel smile crept across her lips.

What happened to Myunghyun hyung? I wondered, but there was nothing I could know.

A feeling of powerlessness that he hadn’t felt in a while took over his body.

“I have a suggestion for you before you start asking questions.”

“A suggestion?”

“It’s an offer you can’t refuse.”

That doesn’t mean it’s a good offer, it just means you don’t have the right to refuse.

‘ she added playfully, and continued.

“Join the guard.”

It is an institution that is different from the security guard, which resolves disputes between ordinary people and ordinary people, and is a place where disputes between awakened people or incidents caused by monsters are settled. .

Yes, it was a place where cases related to Awakened and monsters were handled, which had nothing to do with me as a non-Awakened person.

“I am a non-awakened person?”

“There are times when a strong non-awakened person is needed, and in a place where stealth or mana usage is restricted, pure strength, not awakening ability, is also important.”

“I’m not that strong.”

“If the non-awakened ones who can beat Devil Monkey with a single dagger aren’t strong enough, we don’t need guards in our city.”

When did you see it? I got it in less than 10 minutes.

‘Should I have used a gun too?’

“As for the details, come directly to the guard in the center of the city tomorrow. If the captain of the guard calls and says you’ve come, we’ll let you through.”

She laughed at how good it was. Considering that Nim was accented when he said he was the captain of the guard, did it make him feel good to be called Nim?

It is unknown.

“Now let’s get to the point. How old are you? Oh, there’s no need to ask. I’m 23 this year, so I must be 25.”

‘Is the question the main body?’

The sarcastic way of speaking was exactly like me when I was young. It was a familiar tone he had never spoken to her, but had used countless times with others.

‘Don’t even learn bad things.’

There is no certainty anyway. If you take it off, she won’t be able to do anything.

“I am not the person you are looking for.”

“Oh, is that so? It’s a pity.”

It was never a trustworthy tone, but it seemed to have passed for now.

She lightly crossed her legs and stared at me with her hand on her chin. Brilliant hair fell down her shoulders. It was very beautiful to see the glossy hair flowing one by one.

She opened her mouth just when she started to feel the pressure of staring at her without speaking for a while with her golden eyes.

“How long have you lived in the house I visited yesterday?”

“It’s been 12 years.”

It was a somewhat expected question, so the answer came right away.

Even the time of 12 years is not something I just said without thinking, the only person who knows that I’ve lived in the same place since I was born is now the boss behind me, so I won’t be able to confirm the authenticity. If you ask someone else, you’ll only hear the answer that it seems like it’s been over 10 years.

“Well? The owner said you’ve lived there all your life?”

I was startled by her words and turned around to see that the boss was looking at this place with an expression that he had never said anything like that.

“From your reaction, it seems that what you just said was a lie?”

A deep smile formed on her lips.

“Ha, yes. I’ve lived around there all my life.”

“I see? Then, have you ever seen a guy about your age? A girl about three years younger than him?”

“In those days, it was common for orphans who had lost their parents to be pushed to the slums. I’ve seen them so many times that I can’t pinpoint who they were, but men and women two years apart were famous in the neighborhood.”

I answered in the most principled way possible. I think I already noticed, but I tried my best to make her think that she was mistaken.

“My older brother…was a really strong person.”

Her eyes deepened as if lost in thought.

“I didn’t lose no matter who my opponent was, and I was smart enough to give an answer in any situation. It was on a different level than someone who was strong like me.”

It wasn’t that much, but did I look taller when I looked at it through the eyes of a child?

Now or then, I’m not such a great person… .

“Like you, do you think it’s possible with the mind of an ordinary person not to lose a word when an S-Class Awakener is right in front of you?”

“I seem to have strong mental power as I am. I’ll say it again, but I’m not the person the Awakener is looking for.”

“I’m pretty sure that’s the case.”

‘No, if you think you’re a real older brother, at least use an honorific.’

Where did the good-natured child go? It was clear that he was sure that I was his brother, but his attitude was very bad. The way I spoke as if I was one of his subordinates made me feel very bad. If the person in front of me was not Hayeon but another S-class Awakener, I would have felt the same way.

“Brother.”

It was a completely different voice from before. It wasn’t overbearing at all, and the way he spoke was somewhat pathetic.

People who have only come across Baek Ha-yeon through news or articles would have thought that that woman could have a voice like that.

“Suck!”

The power of the pathetic voice that suddenly came in was considerable. My heart trembled at the voice that reminded me of the old days. My heart thumped and shook at the sound of a voice that brought out memories that had been buried in my head.

In response to my reaction, Hayeon lightly nodded her head. He smiled vaguely, as if he had resolved some lingering feelings of not being completely sure.

“I don’t know. Why does brother pretend not to know me, is he ashamed of me? Or do I fall short of brother’s standards? Are you trying to deny my life just by looking at brother?”

Ha-yeon, who spoke with a voice full of tears, looked so young that it was hard to believe that she was a person who exuded great force until just a moment ago.

“There’s no way I can know the will of my heavenly brother. But I want you to know that there is a limit to my patience.”

Seeing Ha-yeon speak pitifully, I thought about just revealing my identity and going back to our old relationship.

‘But I can’t.’

It was different then and now.

When I was young, I could guide Ha-yeon and help each other, but now I am no help to Ha-yeon. Because there is a bigger gap between the S-class Awakener and the citizens of the slums than the sky and the earth.

“I’m sorry, but I’m the Awakener-sama you’re looking for…”

“one week….”

“Yes?”

“I’ll give you just one week.”

Ha-yeon’s voice was pitiful, but powerful. I felt a strong will not to let go of me no matter what.

“After a week, I don’t know what I’ll do. I’ve thought many times that I want to force my brother into my grasp in less than a day.”

Deep, dark eyes tightened my heart.

It was as if an unbearable heavy love was pressing me down.

“Then please tell me, brother.”

I don’t want to suppress my brother by force.

A small voice came out.

“I’ll just go. My brother will need some time to think about it too.”

Ha-yeon left the store after saying those words.

The mouth wrote.

I was craving something sweet.

He took a candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

What should I do?
