149 – Spring came before flowers
I woke up at the sound of bustle.
I looked around to see what was going on, and Grid was wandering around, preparing something.
“You… what are you doing?”
As I let out a long yawn, Grid answered by simply pointing at Jim.
The baggage that Grid points to is….
“Camping?”
“Didn’t you say let’s go check it out when you get back to Korea?”
“Ah.”
After returning to Korea, she took a short break and started training right away.
I rolled so hard that a sweet smell came out of Hawkeye’s mouth to feel the monster particles.
Four days passed like that, but she didn’t achieve much.
I could feel something.
It was definitely a better response than before.
However, it was not a very pleasant result for us as we had to leave for the US again at the end of December.
I need to realize something as soon as possible.
Grid seems to have come up with camping in that way.
It’s camping….
It’s been a while.
I met a monster on my way back from camping, and after that some unpleasant incidents continued.
So I don’t have any good memories, but I thought I missed it for some reason.
I went in April, so it’s been 8 months….
“What are you doing? Get ready quickly!”
Somehow, the position is opposite from usual.
If you think about it, the grid changed to this kind of feeling after she met that mimicking monster.
It felt like time had passed in an instant.
Breakfast was already prepared on the table when I came out after briefly preparing in the bathroom.
As I sat down at the table, I asked where we were going to go this time.
Then, as if Grid had already planned it, he turned on the tablet PC and pointed to a spot.
“Gangwon-do?”
This time, I feel like I’m going quite far.
Looking at that serious yet somewhat twitching mouth, it was clear that he wanted to ride the Fenrir and go a little farther.
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Mmm.”
You don’t need to pour cold water on it.
Honestly, I also thought that I wanted to go a little further aboard the Fenrir.
Because there was something that made a man’s heart beat that much.
After getting ready, I headed down to the basement, where Yuna, looking sleepy, was yawning near the bike.
“What are you doing here?”
“Oh, brother!”
In front of Hawkeye, I call him ‘Jinwoo’, so it felt like I hadn’t heard the word ‘oppa’ for a long time.
“Hey….”
Are you upset that I asked what I was doing?
I’m sorry about something….
“It’s been a while. Listening to your brother.”
“Do you like Jinwoo?”
“Just call it what you want to call it.”
“….”
“I mean both are good to hear.”
“Well then, should we use Jinwoo sometimes?”
He has a really dynamic expression.
It was hard to say something bad even in a joke because it was revealed right on his face.
“Go ahead, sir.”
Hearing the boss’ voice, Yuna somehow crossed her arms with a happy expression.
“So what are you doing here?”
“I came to play on vacation!”
Did you know?
ㅡ So, he must have been waiting here.
Looking at Yuna’s outfit, it feels like she’ll follow us on our camping trip.
It’s dangerous….
ㅡ It won’t matter anyway.
Huh?
ㅡ Think of the steps that bastard has shown so far. He’s a smart and strong guy. You must already know about Yuna’s existence.
I see….
ㅡ Perhaps she was convinced that Yuna was a future poet. If you think about why she took Yuna to China, you can guess.
But why didn’t you tell me until now?
ㅡ Everyone must have realized it to some extent. It’s just that I didn’t want to put an extra burden on you.
Grid brought up the story that we were already in Humbert’s palm.
In a way, it is natural.
Humbert is the one who handed the dragon a monster dressed up in a suit to torment me.
Can’t a guy with that level of information find the headquarters?
If you think about it, it was he who kidnapped and killed the people who fled from the underground shelter’s laboratory.
“Haa….”
“Gwa, are you okay?”
“No, nothing.”
It’s not that I’m angry with you, it’s that I’m angry with myself for being so complacent.
Yeah, if you think about it, what can he do?
It even makes me think that even if a huge meteorite falls on the Korean Peninsula tomorrow, that guy will be able to do that.
A guy who can wipe out two S-class monsters with one punch, so that’s what it is.
“Come on. Hold on tight.”
I handed Yuna her helmet and boarded Fenrir.
Yuna grunted at how heavy her helmet was, but a smile appeared on her face.
She felt like her chest was getting heavy when she was looking at that little stupid yet cute figure.
“Let’s go, Mr. Jinwoo!”
“Yes, I am going!”
Even if she hadn’t said anything in the past, thinking about how frustrated Yuna must have been, she felt complicated in many ways.
“Wow!”
So the author must have quietly sent Yuna away.
I hope Yuna’s stress that she’s been through so far can be solved a little with this.
“Where are you going!”
By tapping on my motorcycle helmet, I let people know that it was possible to have a conversation without shouting.
Then, feeling a bit embarrassed, Yuna asked where she was going again.
“Gangwon Province.”
ㅡ Gangwon-do?
“I kind of feel like that, boss.”
ㅡ ….
Yuna thought hard about something, and then she tightened her arms around my waist.
She came out of the underground parking lot and realized that the bitter wind hitting her body wasn’t too cold.
Maybe it’s because of this little warmth I feel on my back.
….
Yuna doesn’t seem to be like that.
ㅡ This was a blind spot….
***
Yuna caught her cold, so I stopped by a convenience store near her and bought her a bunch of hot packs.
It’s a pasting type, so if you put it on every corner of her body, it will be less cold.
As I waited for the heat pack to warm up, a subtle silence was created.
“Wait a minute.”
I got up and counted two buns near the register.
“Hoppan?”
“What are you going to do, boss?”
“What flavor is it?”
“Red beans and vegetables.”
“… Vegetables, please.”
ㅡ I knew it would be like this!
Red beans… It’s delicious.
I sat side by side with Yuna and stared blankly at the front.
She
When she did this, she realized that people were wearing thick padding.
She knew in her head that it was December, but her consciousness couldn’t catch up….
I don’t know about the heat, but I didn’t even think about it because my body doesn’t burn the cold.
I always felt like I was being chased.
So I was overlooking trivial, but on the other hand, important things.
This bold boss who took a leave of absence from university in order to be near me was one of them.
“Um?”
Omnyol.
Yuna, who was eating buns, met her eyes with the feeling that such onomatopoeia suits her.
The corners of his mouth are glistening with the oil from the vegetable buns.
Looking at that bewildered expression, I laughed involuntarily.
“Why?”
“No big deal.”
The time I spent in China must feel boring.
ㅡ It’s too much, Brave….
Shut up, you asshole.
ㅡ Khehehe!
Maybe Yuna didn’t accidentally visit me because she had free time, maybe Grid called Yuna here.
“Whoa.”
As if the hot packs that were attached to her body began to work, Yuna began to melt like marshmallows warmed by her fire.
ㅡ Marshmallow? I can’t stand that!
Be patient.
Grid said she couldn’t stand this, and she immediately moved me and started buying miscellaneous things.
It was the moment when I realized that I had been thinking useless things.
“Oh, this is so… hmm.”
Yuna looked around her, covered her mouth, and nodded her head in understanding.
Yes, it is Grid.
I thought that this was not a real training, but a feeling of going out to play.
As we went outside after paying our bills, we saw people glancing at our bikes.
ㅡ I have no choice but to do that. Khehehehe.
Honestly, I think I would look at something like this if it were standing there.
From noble mtl dot com
As I approached the bike with Yuna, the people who were taking pictures gradually distanced themselves.
It was a moment when I thought I was good at wearing a helmet.
As I was slowly riding my bike out of Seoul, many thoughts ran through my head.
But unlike before, I didn’t feel that my head was complicated.
It was to the point where I even developed baseless confidence that things would work out.
ㅡ That much is just right.
I don’t know if that’s the case.
The bike ran off the road and went into an unknown mountain in Gangwon-do.
The grid is a place where the coordinates were taken in advance, so even if a huge amount of energy is emitted, it must be a place that is not caught by the monster detector.
“This is my first time camping like this.”
“Really?”
“Yes, because everyone is busy.”
Yuna put on a complicated expression as she caressed her ambiguous tent.
Yuna can make a face like this too….
If you think about it, Yuna is the daughter of GB Group.
Since the boss studied abroad and is 10 years older, she must not have been here at the age Yuna showed interest in her camping.
Yuna’s parents must have been busy running her company.
I thought that the things Grid had thoughtlessly bought might be surprisingly useful.
Place a ground sheet on a flat surface, install the inner tent and the main body, and you’re done.
Unlike before, Grid is able to do detailed work skillfully, so he seemed to finish faster, but it took a little longer than expected.
No, I’m sure it’s true that I made it take some time.
Because Yuna was staring at her tent with her twinkling eyes.
With Grid’s help, she could have made the 5-minute cut, but she just couldn’t make it.
“Whoa! This is pretty tough!”
Even though he said it was difficult, what appeared on his face was a satisfied expression.
He’s also snorting weakly….
ㅡ Is it cute?
Yes.
“Why is Grid not helping?”
When Yuna said that, Grid pulled herself out of me and started hitting Yuna on the head.
“Evil! Aww!”
Perhaps only Yuna is Grid’s violence against anyone other than me.
So it felt more fresh.
“Ah, why are you hitting me!”
“….”
Greed just harassed Yuna by remaining silent.
Yuna staggered and hid behind me and screamed at me to dry the grid.
I think it’s difficult to play the boss anymore.
Something cute, but a bit pitiful.
I decided to finish preparing for camping while Grid and Yuna enjoyed mountain training in the arms of Mother Nature.
I took out a small brazier the size of 4 rolls of toilet paper, and brought dry twigs and dead trees from nearby.
You don’t even need to use tools.
Cut trees with bare hands to make firewood and split them into small pieces.
Suddenly enough firewood was made to burn all day long.
“Ouch!”
“hehehe!”
I could hear strange animals crying, but my heart was strangely calm.
If you think about it, the camping with Grid was awkward to call it camping.
Isn’t it true camping only when you have such a gentle heart?
“Oh, no! Help me!”
“Brave is on my side. Give up, b*tch!”
“Aagh!”
Yes, this is camping.
