56 – You’ve been hanging out with me all day today! (1)
1.
“Uh, uh uh? Who, who? Me?”
“Hey! Ha, it’s Ha-an, you can save me!”
I was taken aback by the sudden thug.
“I-I saw it with my own two eyes! That person is very dangerous!”
Then, with only his head sticking out from behind Ha-an’s back, he suddenly started using a dialect from another region.
Just a while ago, when I was talking to Lira and Haan, I was very friendly with a bright smile on my face, but it was embarrassing to see me suddenly startled and hide away and even say that I am a very dangerous person.
“Oh, oppa is a dangerous person, but he is not the kind of person who lays his hands on the trainee in charge!”
“What did the manager see? What did you see that sounds dangerous?”
On top of that, Lee and Haan were saying things that didn’t help at all in overcoming the situation, but rather made it worse, and now my head hurts.
Please just don’t say anything.
“If I tell you what I saw, Ha-An’s older sister and Lee will be surprised.”
I don’t care what the two of them say, Yoo Ji-woo started talking to Ha An-i and Li-ra in a very serious voice, using a Chungcheong-do dialect rather than the original Gyeongsang-do dialect.
“I witnessed it yesterday… It was the time when I left the luggage I had brought with me in the contracted room and went to see what the city would look like.”
※※※
After arranging the luggage packed by mom and dad in their own room, Yoo Ji-woo went out to the city center to take a look around the city while eating a late lunch.
“Hmmueh… Mu, what kind of people come here and there are so many of them… Isn’t it a lie to say that if you close your eyes, you’ll cut your nose…”
It was difficult for Yu Ji-woo to adapt to the surrounding environment as it changed from a countryside filled with fields, orchards, and sometimes a town hall to a city full of high-rise buildings, cars, and people.
Noise, smoke, even people who enter blindly as if their shoulders would bump into each other.
Everything that made up the city was unbearable to Yoo Ji-woo, who had been raised in the countryside all his life.
“Ahhhhh.”
As a result, he went into a panic about 15 minutes after he went out to eat.
“Sah, I have to live…”
Sprinting for a living, Yu Ji-woo, guided by his instincts, started moving towards a place where there were few people.
“Haaa…”
After a desperate escape, I was able to take refuge in a deserted alley between a 10-story building.
“Whew, whew. Now it’s a little bit lighter…”
Entering an alley with no people, no cars, and little noise, Yujiu finally felt like he was going to live.
When it seemed like he was going to live, reason began to dwell in Yoo Ji-woo, who had just moved to live.
“Ah, I understand that my father came and told me to be careful of the city. Let’s rest for a while and go home…”
I decided to return to my own room under the judgment that I would not be able to withstand the environment of the city in my current state.
As she was sitting on the ground and resting with her back against the outer wall of the building, a threatening sound came from the window above the wall she was leaning against.
[Is this bastard crazy because he wanted to search? What are you, bastard.]
[Ha, it’s obvious what thugs do.]
[What?]
[Still, I feel sad when a guy like you doesn’t come out. I was looking forward to it, but I was worried about what would happen if I was disappointed.]
[What the f*ck are you saying bullsh*t that I can’t understand? Hey, did you hit it? A gangster who is not a dick wants to go after it, so he grabbed a knife and broke into our group of gold…]
Boom! Kudang-dang-dang-tang!
“This, this is what the hell is going on…”
The sound of destruction coming from the window, which is hard to hear in modern society.
To Yu Ji-woo, who lived in a quiet countryside, the loud roar was so frightening and unfamiliar to him.
At the same time, the unfamiliar roar brought Yoo Ji-woo’s instinctive curiosity.
“This kind of noise is made because the haircut incident happened…”
So Yu Ji-woo stood up and looked inside the building through a small window, not knowing the proverb that curiosity kills cats.
Boom! ······Thud!
[I told you to attack, but you guys didn’t, and if I kept waiting, I don’t think they would. I’ll just jump in, you know? These f*cking bastards.]
“Huh, huhhhhh!”
Starting with a gangster with sharp scars on his face flying in the air and then falling, Yoo Ji-woo witnessed a person being broken for the first time in his 20 years of life.
※※※
“It’s hard to believe, but it’s real! That person just blows the thugs with knives into the sky, destroys them, and just hits them all! He is a very dangerous man!”
Returning to his original dialect, Yoo Ji-wu pointed his finger at me and desperately explained what he had seen to the two of them.
“・・・・・・Hmmm.”
“······· Promissory notes.”
Of course, to Lira and Ha An, who knew the whole story of the day, it was just a story that was embarrassing, let alone a sense of crisis.
“No, don’t believe me! Ugh… I really saw it all…!”
Yoo Ji-wu took the embarrassing silence of the two as a sign that he did not believe it.
“Really, people just flew?! As soon as that person shook his fist, a gangster the size of a thug just flew away with a bang! Really! Wow, I can’t believe what people say!”
Perhaps he felt that persuading the two wasn’t enough with his mouthful explanation, but the way he pretended to punch with those tiny limbs or spread his arms out to the sides as much as possible to explain the thug’s physique was so cute that a smile came to my lips without even realizing it. It was built.
Looks like a little anteater is threatening me. Really cute.
But at that timing, I met eyes with Yoo Ji-woo, who was diligently preaching the danger to me to Li-ra and Ha-an.
“Look at me! Look at that evil laugh! He is a really scary and dangerous person!”
Until now, I had only been concentrating on Lira and Ha An, but seeing the way they made eye contact when they smiled, it didn’t seem like this misunderstanding could be easily resolved.
Still, he’s going to be my idol, so I’ll have to deal with it. Even though it’s hard, it’s not impossible.
A manager giving up on an idol is something that shouldn’t happen, except for abuse of power and overdue wages.
And Yoo Ji-woo is a genius of cuteness who charmed everyone except Ha An-i in less than 10 minutes after appearing.
Shining bright enough to make others fade away with just her cuteness, she was a treasure that should not be missed as a manager who has to find the gem for her debut.
So, the moment she opened her mouth to clear up her misunderstanding, Lira, the party to the incident, raised her palms toward me and sent her reliable eyes.
I will clear up any misunderstandings, so oppa, stay still.
It was a gesture so clear that his will could be clearly felt even without words.
I nodded my head and replied that I believed in her gesture, which contained such a clear will, befitting a genius at physical work.
“Jiwoo unnie.”
“······Sister? My, I’m the older sister… Ehehehehe…”
“You are misunderstanding. Oppa is not the scary and dangerous person Ji-woo unni thinks.”
“Huh? Am I misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding are you talking about?”
“That is…”
※※※
After she finished explaining what she had been through and what I had done for it, Lira looked at Yoo Ji-woo with her sincere eyes and concluded her words.
“That’s how it happened. My brother couldn’t help but do that. It was all for a reason.”
“That’s right, Jiwoo. As Lira said, the manager is not a bad person.”
I could feel that Lira was sincere in trying to clear my injustice with her sincere tone, which was quite different from when I saw Yoo Ji-woo and ran wild over him saying he was cute.
Ha An’s assist was also full of sincerity.
But that alone seemed to be insufficient.
“······But it’s a lira. There’s something I don’t understand.”
“What do you not understand?”
“How can someone who is not dangerous to take down dozens of people with knives with his bare hands?”
“Ah…”
Even if there was a reason for that, everything Yu Ji-woo saw that day was an unmistakable fact.
“A person was blown away, shattered, and passed out with one punch. After seeing that, I was so scared that I went home without even having lunch.”
It is common knowledge that most people already know that fighting someone with a knife with bare hands is dangerous even for a martial artist.
In addition to that, it was already widely known that dealing with multiple people alone is a fantasy that can only be found in comics or movies.
However, since he single-handedly beat down a number of thugs with knives, it was only natural for Yujiu to be so wary of me.
Unlike Ha An-i and Li-ra, Yu Ji-woo was a very ordinary citizen who lived a life free of ties to gangsters.
Furthermore, what I did at the Geumil Trading Company building was very raw violence, unlike what I did in front of the two of them.
I couldn’t help but feel that Yu Ji-woo’s first impression of me was disgusting.
······It made an impression like this. It must be really difficult to clear up the misunderstanding here, but what should I do about it?
When I glanced at Yoo Ji-woo, thinking about that, she was startled and hid behind Ha-an, trembling.
I would have to do something once I got closer, but it seemed like it would be difficult even to close the physical distance in that state.
What should I really do with this…?
Just as I was feeling like I was heading to the bare ground toward an unanswerable question, Yoo Ji-woo, who had been hiding behind Ha An-i, clasped his fists tightly and squeezed his eyes shut, leaping out and revealing his whole body to me again.
“Ugh, uhhhhh… That’s because I’m still my sister! My cute little sister says this, but I can’t just keep being scared!”
Then he shouted courageously with a trembling voice.
“Are you really a good person like Ha Annie and Lee said! I’ll check it out myself! You’ve been with me all day today!”
