The Kids I Saved Are Too Strong chapter 5

5 – Hayeon Baek-5

A lot of time has passed, but it reminded me of old memories that I will never forget.

“Wow, you’re really strong.”

When I first saw Ha-yeon, she was already awakened.

Even though it was clear that she had just awakened, she tore ten devil monkeys to death, so her talent was so brilliant that even a passer-by beggar would notice.

“Aren’t you hungry? If you allow me, can I trim the monsters you caught and eat them together?”

I approached first with the desire to be protected under the strong and to provide labor in return.

Then and now, I was strict with myself, determined to leave the moment I couldn’t help.

“I can’t eat this part because it’s so tough I can’t swallow it.”

Even though Devil Monkey is very tough meat, he could eat the part of his neck that doesn’t move well.

Ha-yeon looked at me with sparkling eyes as I dismantled Devil Monkey with a dagger the size of a child in my hand.

“Whoah!! I thought I was going to die, are you okay?”

It was not easy for young children to survive as the times were. We almost lost our lives several times, but we survived, sometimes with my wits and sometimes with Ha-yeon’s force.

“I’m glad I got food today, right?”

The longer we spent together, the more sticky things became between us. There was no love feeling at all. The brother and sister friendship that endured the hard times existed between us.

It was not a form of simply parasitizing each other in order to live. We voluntarily helped each other, and each other relied on each other to endure.

“You’ll make it big, I guarantee you.”

From birth, he was a child who was guaranteed success. It was different from someone like me who couldn’t even wake up. One day, when she shines brightly, I won’t be able to be by her side.

“Name? Well? I don’t really need to know it. Brother’s is a good enough title.”

I kept my distance from her, thinking that I should be separated someday.

At that time, I was extremely reluctant to reveal my name due to the death of someone important to me, so I did not reveal my name no matter what.

After spending a year with her like that, something has finally arrived.

“Hello, we belong to the Sun Guild, and we want to recruit you to our guild.”

It was clear that he was Lee Seung-ho, the leader of the Taeyang Guild, who had recently been growing in power in the surrounding cities, with red hair that glowed like a blaze, eyes that were soft but strong.

When they came to us, Ha-yeon to be exact, I felt that our relationship was over.

The Taeyang Guild was a good guild that could raise and develop Ha-yeon well. There were rumors that they had already taken over most of the neighboring cities and were aiming for the surrounding cities.

Rumors were just rumors, so the truth was unknown, but no one denied that the Sun Guild was a rising force.

And Ha-yeon was such an outstanding talent that the guild leader came to visit her.

And if Ha-yeon joins the sun guild, I will be of no use to Ha-yeon, I don’t need to stay by her side anymore.

I told Ha-yeon that she must join the sun guild. He strongly recommended Ha-yeon to join the Taeyang Guild, saying that if he entered, he would succeed unconditionally, that he would no longer have to sleep on hard cement, and that he would be able to eat soft and delicious meat instead of tough monster meat.

Instead, he never said that he would never see me again.

“Are you really going to leave like that?”

“Yes, I’m just a hindrance to my sister.”

“If possible, I’d like to recruit you too.”

“Okay. Where do you recruit non-awakened ones?”

I asked Lee Seung-ho to tell him that I would disappear because I would only be a hindrance to you, and left.

The last time I saw Ha-yeon was crying out that she couldn’t do anything without me.

‘Perhaps Ha-yeon didn’t know I was watching, but… .`

My younger sister, whom I separated from then, is now asking me to find me and become my older brother again.

‘The child is not well behaved.’

what? Don’t you want to suppress your brother by force?

If Ha-yeon was just an ordinary little sister, it could have been nothing more than a cute threat, but if you say something like that after becoming an S-class awakened person, even I get scared.

‘No, actually, threats aren’t the problem.’

The image of Ha-yeon, who continued to speak while crying, flickers in front of my eyes. Was it the right thing to do when he bitterly abandoned his sister and ran away because he was useless?

“Boss… what is a family?”

I asked the boss, who is the only adult I know and who just heard all the stories between Ha-yeon and me.

I couldn’t come to a conclusion on my own.

‘No… . It’s not that I can’t draw conclusions, I just want to be sure that I’m right.’

“It’s good to be by your side.”

Did the boss read my thoughts? Did he say such a thing to push my back when I couldn’t walk on my own? Or are you really thinking that way?

It’s good anyway. Anyway, my head is very fresh right now.

‘A brother who leaves his younger brother because he is useless, are you a human being?’

I was sick It’s also a sick asshole among assholes.

‘If I made a mistake, I should apologize.’

It’s like living with a huge sin for 15 years. You have to be prepared for a few hits.

“president”

“Come on. I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but siblings should get along well. Especially in a world like this heinous.”

“I’m coming.”

I left the store and walked towards the center of the city.

The roads were clean and the clothes they were wearing looked good, befitting the district where rich people and members of the Taeyang Guild lived. Where do you get clothes like that in this difficult situation?

I hurried my steps and headed for the main building of the guards.

“Stop. If you have anything to report to the guards, please go to City Hall.”

“I didn’t come to report it. The captain of the guard recruited me as a non-awakened person and came here.”

The guards guarding the front gate of the main building looked suspicious.

“Surely, I received a message that a non-awakened man called by the captain would come sometime tomorrow, but did you call today?”

“I didn’t invite you, but I came to see you. I don’t intend to go in on my own, so can you just tell me that I’m here?”

The two guards whispered for a while, and then one entered the main building.

“Wait a moment.”

“All right.”

The security guard who had gone inside came out and led me to the chief’s office.

“Here. Just knock and go in.”

The guard immediately turned around and headed for the entrance.

It was worth being wary of bringing an outsider into the main building, but I wondered if Ha-yeon was in a bad state because he seemed so natural.

-smart

“come in.”

There was something blunt about her voice. Well, I’d be really angry.

Since he was the captain of the guard, there was no sound when he opened the door. It was the softness of not knowing whether it was open or not if the door had been opened without pretending to be human.

“Why are you here?”

Ha-yeon’s face was very ferocious. In addition, the atmosphere of an S-class awakener was added, giving off a ferocious atmosphere like a tiger.

My legs trembled from the unbearable force.

No matter how much I try to catch my spirit, it seems that I can’t even control my instinctive reaction.

“Why are you shaking so much?! Are you scared of me? Are you so scared that I told you to suppress my brother by force? That’s why you came here because you were scared!?”

Ha-yeon stood up with stronger momentum and approached me. My head automatically bent down and the pressure was so strong that I wanted to kneel at any moment, but I couldn’t sit down here.

“Sorry.”

Ha-yeon’s eyes widened. It was very cute to see her golden eyes wide open.

“stop it.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t find you first, and I abandoned you and ran away.”

“Stop it!!”

Tears filled Ha-yeon’s eyes as she screamed.

“If you’re going to apologize like that, then why did you leave? Why did you look for me but didn’t show up?

“I thought I would be of no use to you.”

“It can’t be!”

Hayeon sobbed and came to me.

As an Awakener, his height and physique were bigger, so he took the shape of me hugging him, but he shed tears while hugging me tightly.

“It’s okay to just stay by my side, but you don’t have to do anything…”

“I’m sorry, I’ll take any punishment.”

He patted Ha Yeon on the back. Even though she was taller than me and became an S-class Awakener, Ha-yeon was my younger sister. Seeing Ha-yeon sobbing in my arms made me feel as if I had gone back to the past.

“Are you really going to accept any punishment?”

Ha-yeon’s eyes looking down at me from a very slightly high place looked slightly dangerous. Should I say that being sad is sad and receiving something is a look that seems like you have to receive it? It was a look that made me think that he had grown up well without me.

“Yeah, unless it’s something I can’t do.”

At that, Ha-yeon picked me up and sat me down on the sofa. Then he sat on my lap. A soft touch pressed against my leg with a sense of weight. It wasn’t that heavy. I wasn’t that weak either, so it wasn’t painful or difficult.

“Stroking my hair. Just like the old days.”

“Are you still a lunatic?”

“Quickly.”

stroked her hair gently.

Ha-yeon has grown up and her hair isn’t as stiff as it was then, but it feels like she’s back in the old days.

“From now on, we will continue to be together.”

“Yes, yes.”

He continued to stroke his hair. It was the moment when the relationship between brother and sister, which had been cut off for 15 years, was reconnected.
