The Nature of Possession chapter 255

255 – EP.10 Guide-2

“Okay, this is the end of class… It’s been a while since you paid attention?”

Knocking the textbook on the desk, Yoon Sia began to organize her luggage.

I had a sharp feeling about what I didn’t like during class, but that wasn’t the case today.

“Yes, well….”

Normally, 20 minutes after class starts, Shin Jeong-ah enters the room and distracts the surroundings, but today she quietly stays in the room to see if something is going on.

“I’m also quiet, so it’s been a while since I enjoyed teaching.”

Yoon Sia put her textbooks in her bag and smiled.

Yun Shia took a sip of the remaining drink in her cup, and then she put it back on her desk.

Water droplets formed on the surface of the cup and flowed along the surface and fell onto the desk.

“It’s already the weekend. Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?”

As I opened the door and went down to the first floor, Inho asked about my plans for Saturday.

“It’s the same for me. The hospital doesn’t distinguish between weekdays and weekends. However, my condition has improved a lot these days, so I spend a lot of time in the hospital.”

“Do you think you’ve improved a lot?”

“Yes. They said you have regained a lot of energy and the progress is improving, so they don’t think additional surgery will be necessary.”

“I’m glad. Really.”

Hearing Inho’s sincere words, Yunsia looked at him with a deep smile.

How could he speak so beautifully? I felt like I was seeing a member of society rather than a high school student.

“Anyway, I have some free time, so I’m going to do some studying over the weekend.”

Going down the stairs, Yoon Sia said.

“Studying?”

Inho was disgusted, and she laughed.

“I also have a few exams left. I have to work hard to keep my scholarship.”

“Wow… You’re really amazing.”

In-ho said in a voice that he was fed up.

“After going to the hospital… I think I’ll study at the cafe I often go to until about nine o’clock, then go home.”

Raising her gaze upward, she recalled tomorrow’s schedule.

“The second floor there is quiet enough to study. Inho, what are you going to do this weekend?”

“I should study and then laze around at home.”

He shrugged his shoulders.

“Okay, this time I’ll raise my grades and surprise my parents. Let’s get a bonus.”

She patted his shoulder gently.

“You’re so snobbish.”

As Inho narrowed his eyes and glanced down, Sia giggled and went down the stairs first.

He followed her down.

At the end of the second floor hallway, the door to the guest room was slightly open.

After sending Yoon Si-ah, In-ho thought for a moment about whether to have a late-night snack.

I thought I wouldn’t have anything to do tomorrow, so I had an impulsive desire to eat a full meal and sleep in.

“Ah… I have to take care of it.”

He touched his forearm, which had become softer, and soothed his bored mouth with water.

“……”

Kang In-ho drank water and looked at the ceiling.

No, she was looking through the floor above the ceiling.

Am I feeling unwell? He was worried about Shin Jeong-ah.

After putting the water bottle back in the refrigerator, he turned off all the lights on the first floor and headed to the second floor.

He headed to the end of the hallway, to the guest room.

– Knock knock

I knocked, but there was no sound.

But there was no way In-ho would miss this small show of popularity.

“I’m going in.”

Not asking for permission, Inho counted 3 seconds and opened the door.

As if looking at a cocoon made by a caterpillar, something was rising above the blanket like a burial mound.

Judging by its height, it looked like it was covered in a blanket while sitting down.

“Are you not feeling well?”

There was no specific answer to Inho’s question.

There is only the slight movement of the blanket.

“Do you want to go to the hospital?”

I saw him shaking his head inside the blanket.

Inho pressed his finger between his eyebrows.

While he was at the hospital, he went out for a brief appointment and has been in that state ever since.

Even if you ask, there is no proper answer. However, he shows it like that as if he wants to be noticed.

The sense of responsibility and sympathy for Shin Jeong-ah is overlaid with Kang In-ho’s unique irritation.

“…What’s going on?”

He takes a few steps towards her.

Then, like a carnivorous plant opening its mouth, the blanket spread out, and Shin Jeong-ah, wearing sweatpants, suddenly pulled him in.

“Oh!”

In-ho made a single sound and tried to balance himself on one uneasy leg.

He covered his face by burying it in his chest.

“Inho.”

His own name, coming out with hot breath, tickled his chest.

“Why?”

He reflexively lowered his raised hand to stroke his head.

It was because it was a habit I used to give to my teacher who would run into my arms and rub my face.

Shin Jeong-ah took a breath from his chest.

Her body trembled.

Her room probably wasn’t cold or anything.

“Today… Can we really do it? Slowly, lightly, without overdoing it.”

“…No.”

Why does it keep doing this? He had a headache.

No matter how much a man is said to be driven by s*xual desire, he is not deviant enough to harbor a desire for a child who appears to be young but has a large age gap with him.

“Inho, Inho.”

She seeks him before her eyes and touched by her hands.

“Stay here.”

Because he was not completely unaware of the psychological anxiety, he responded appropriately.

“Don’t abandon me, okay?”

“Why did I abandon you? I said I would take responsibility.”

Although he did not commit it, he intends to take responsibility.

“…….”

But as if those words hurt him even more, the strength of his arms that were squeezing him became stronger.

“Even if there is no baby…?”

Those words muttered very softly and carefully.

In-ho did not miss it.

“What do you mean?”

Inho did not realize that his voice was a little stiffer than before.

“Ugh… No. I didn’t say anything.”

Shin Jeong-ah released her arms and took her face away.

Her face smiled awkwardly and looked like it was about to collapse.

“Jeong-ya. If there is a problem, you should talk about it… Only then can it be resolved.”

Suppressing his frustration, In-ho gave kind advice.

“Yes, okay. Thank you.”

She raised the corners of her mouth as much as she could and gently pushed his body.

It was a signal to be alone.

Despite being pushed back by his weak strength, In-ho continued to look at Shin Jeong-ah.

Are those eyes filled with concern sweet?

Shin Jeong-ah said with a smile.

“This time, I’ll solve it myself. If that doesn’t work, I’ll tell you then.”

“Uh… Okay, then.”

“That’s right. What are you going to do tomorrow?”

“Me? I’m going to rest at home. What about you?”

“I’m going to meet a friend for a moment. I have plans for dinner.”

“Are you late? Where are you going?””

“It might be a little late.”

Shin Jeong-ah pursed her lips and added her words.

“Cafe… I think I’ll go.”

Her eyes slightly turned to the side.
