“ Come on…, focus on …”
After speaking carefully so as not to break Soyeon’s concentration, I slowly raised my magic power and delivered it to Soyeon .
Shoo Woo Woo Woo –
The magic that flowed out of my fingertips begins to flow into the back of Soyeon’s hand .
Soyeon ‘s hand trembling as if it
were tickling .
“··· uh ···.”
Once again, the concentration is disturbed .
Sueup…, it’s like this again …
It’s already the ninth time since I arrived at the training ground and started magic training .
Soyeon is unable to concentrate on her training .
···· Let’s do it first .
After thinking for a while at Soyeon’s appearance, I continued to infuse magic power with the thought of trying it to the end, and
wooing … Eventually
, the magic failed as the magic was disturbed .
“····.”
An atmosphere that has subsided .
I gently let go of Soyeon’s hand so that she doesn’t die, and I said something casually .
“ It’s not worth it. I’ve almost done it… Shall we just try one more time ?”
But ….
“Let’s rest a little .”
Perhaps Soyeon was already upset, she flopped down on a small rock lying nearby .
“··· ha ha ···.”
I quietly scratched my head when I saw Soyeon sighing as if frustrated, but I sighed quietly and sat down on a rock a little far from Soyeon .
Tickle –
“… .”
What is the reason Soyeon can’t focus on training ?
The most likely thing, after all, is that he may have felt less relaxed yet .
Unlike before, when the cold wind blew briskly, he spoke as it was, and participated in training in his own way, showing that his mood was relieved .
However… .
Soyeon is still stuck in the part of precisely controlling her magical power .
Considering that magic control is greatly influenced by mental factors, I think it’s right that I’m still feeling less relaxed .
driving me crazy… .
A sigh flows out of the frustrated heart .
One way or another, I can’t explain anything about the Bicon incident .
If you say it hastily, you’re sure to cause a bigger misunderstanding ,
but you can’t flirt by saying that you’re going to ease your mood .
What do we do… . Should I postpone it until later? ?
That’s when I was seriously thinking about whether to postpone magic training for a while .
“… there is .”
Soyeon spoke to me .
*
“ Huh ?”
When I speak, Yoo Ji-hwan immediately responds and turns his head .
He seemed to be frustrated, but he was quietly waiting for my words as if nothing had happened .
… cute… .
It looked very cute, like a big puppy .
After enjoying Yoo Ji-hwan’s reaction for a while, I slowly opened my mouth and carefully asked for forgiveness .
“… Please do one thing for me .”
OK… .
“ Please? Of course you should listen. What is it ?”
He stood up as if it was natural, and approached me with a bright face .
… ha… .
Yoo Ji-hwan’s reckless behavior made me sigh .
Do you know what kind of request you are asking and he will listen to you ?
What if I do something strange ?
The urge to nagging me that I couldn’t refuse it, and not to take it lightly, grew up to the end of my throat, but now is not the time for that .
“… Hug me .”
“… huh ?”
The moment I spoke, Yoo Ji-hwan’s expression froze .
It’s as if you heard something you couldn’t hear .
After a brief sigh at his reaction, I jumped up and opened my arms to him .
“… I think it will get better if you hug me .”
“ Ah… .”
Then, as if he understood what I was saying too late, Yoo Ji-hwan released a frozen expression on his face and let out a sigh of relief .
100% misunderstood .
… It’s okay to misunderstand .
I hid my regrets in my heart, and slowly stepped out to embrace him .
By the way… .
Suck – Yoo Ji-
hwan stepped back and avoided me .
Standing –
Shocked for a moment, I froze and looked at him silently ,
” Ah… .”
Yoo Ji-hwan finally realized what he had done, and made eye contact with a bewildered expression .
“… .”
The silence that tightens as if it is suffocating .
His constantly shaking eyes showed how embarrassed he was, and I was worried as I looked at him like that .
Whether or not to correct the behavior of the ‘boyfriend’ who dares to reject the ‘girlfriend’ .
I hope you will stand in such an awkward position for a moment .
Yoo Ji-hwan tightly closed his eyes as if he had no choice but to hug me tightly .
“… 👌👌👌👌 .”
His scent pierces his nostrils .
I reflexively inhaled Yoo Ji-hwan’s body odor and slowly wrapped my arms around him .
Whoa…
A weak heartbeat .
heartbeat… heartbeat…
Maybe it’s my mistake, but it seems to be getting faster .
heartbeat… heartbeat…
How long has it been since I was held in his arms like that ?
I slowly lifted my head and looked at Yoo Ji-hwan’s face .
Ugh…
Then he closed his eyes and hugged me, then he gently lowered his head and met his eyes .
“… … .”
Brown eyes similar to the color of his hair .
The eyes I always thought were pretty, but suddenly I was in a bad mood when I suddenly remembered someone with brown hair .
“… .”
I lowered my head again as if avoiding Yoo Ji-hwan’s gaze .
Suck –
Then, with his face buried in his chest, he remembered the promise he had made with his mother .
Promise to propose to Yoo Ji-hwan on the coming weekday .
Of course, I think Jihwan will definitely choose me .
However… .
I can’t be relieved because I don’t know how a man-hungry mother will lure Ji-hwan .
… Let’s do it… .
After hardening my mind, I slowly raised my head again and looked at Jihwan .
Then he made eye contact with him again and whispered softly .
“… good .”
Then Yoo Ji-hwan, who looked at me for a moment, slowly raised his head as if avoiding my gaze, and quietly
patted
my back and looked at the sky .
*
To start with, the training failed .
no… , to be precise, I succeeded, but I didn’t get it to the level I thought it would be .
“ Ha… .”
Soyeon certainly had a talent for magic .
He successfully subjugated a D-rank monster with his lower-level magic, Fireball, and showed a pretty good destructive power despite his imperfect control .
The problem is that since I hugged Soyeon, it has been brought to me whenever magic fails .
If you are held in my arms, it will calm down or something… .
I, who was the real party, really felt like I was going to die .
Whenever I was with Soyeon, I kept thinking of Jooyeon-hee from the past, so no one would probably know how much guilt I had to suffer .
“… I do not know… .”
Taking a deep breath in my frustrated heart, I took a heavy step towards the house where my wife was waiting .
And as time goes by… . It’s already a
weekday .
It was the day I went to the academy as usual .
“ Eh… . This incident took place, and the gate-related laws were strengthened… .”
… It’s not fun… .
I stared blankly at the blackboard with my chin clenched in a boring class, and then I slowly turned my head to look at her sitting next to me .
“… .”
Listening to class in a slightly tensed posture, unlike usual
Soyeon is there .
The moment when I had an unknown question about her strangely unfamiliar appearance today .
“… .”
Soyeon, noticing my gaze, slowly rolled her eyes and met her eyes .
Then he looked at me with a face that seemed to have something to say, and then he quickly turned his eyes away and turned away .
… Why are you doing this today? .
I haven’t even had a proper conversation with her today .
Even if I ask you what is going on , you remain silent .
Until the weekend, he continued to be foolish like a child, and now he doesn’t even talk to me .
“ Ha… .”
Maybe it’s because I’m in the midst of puberty, and yesterday and today are different, so I don’t know which rhythm to match .
After having such a frustrating time, I finished class .
Now it’s time to go home .
“ Hey, Soyeon-ah… . Aren’t you going to go shopping today ?”
Naturally, Soyeon and I went to the beach, and I talked to each other in order to somehow bring about a conversation .
However… .
“… yes .”
Soyeon gave a brief reply and followed me without a word .
He looks strangely anxious, like a dog that has lost its owner .
… Is it because of your mood ?
This is what I felt while watching Soyeon the whole time, and she seems to be restless today . Did
something really happen ?
“… There, Soyeon-ah .”
In the end, I couldn’t stand it and opened my mouth .
“… .”
Soyeon gently turned her head to my call and met her eyes, and I
stopped walking slowly, looked straight at her and said seriously .
“ Anyway, what’s wrong? I am really worried .”
Then, as if Soyeon was thinking about something, she rolled her eyes and answered softly .
“… no .”
It looks like there is something to anyone looking at it .
Seeing Soyeon avoiding her words, I was convinced that something had happened, so I gently comforted Soyeon and carefully questioned her .
“… So Yeon-ah. Be honest. You know you’ve been weird all day ?”
“… I ?”
Soyeon tried her best not to notice, but she already had embarrassment on her face .
“ You can’t even tell me ?”
“… that is… .”
I kept my mouth shut so that Soyeon could make up her mind, and she
hesitated for a while, pursed her lips, then took a deep breath and spoke slowly .
“… Can you do one favor ?”
Contrary to usual, somewhat cautious tone .
“ Of course not! Just say anything .”
I hadtily accepted the request with a smile so that she could be reassured .
And at that moment .
“… Can you stay with us for a while ?”
… huh ?
Shocking words came out of Soyeon’s mouth .
