chairman’s office.
Jeong Nan-do’s secretary, Shin Dae-yong, said with a heavy voice.
“… Director Gong is dead.”
ball director.
One of the board members of the Hunter Association, Jeong Nan-do is a longtime acquaintance of about 17 years.
Jeong Nan-do, who suddenly faced the news of the death of an acquaintance, closed his eyes slightly with a confused face.
“… What is the cause?”
Then, Shin Dae-yong slowly recited what he saw and received with a confused face.
“It is an attack. He was robbed by a duo of hunters, and said he didn’t touch anything except some cash. … However, there is something strange about it.”
“… Something?”
Shin Dae-yong, who cleared his neck slightly, looked at Jeong Nan-do’s eyes and spoke carefully.
“… Director Gong, there was no sign of resistance.”
Then Jeong Nan-do asked, surprised.
“Let me explain in detail… !”
“… It is said that there were traces of battle on the body of the bodyguards. However, no traces were found on the body of Director Gong.”
Director Gong is also one of the first-generation hunters who pioneered the gate.
Therefore, I was able to gain the trust of Jeong Nan-do, and in recognition of his abilities, he was promoted to the board of directors.
No matter how old you are, it doesn’t make any sense to die without even being able to resist the robbery duo.
If there were really no signs of resistance from Director Gong, two assumptions can be made.
If the director was strong enough that he could not even resist,
Director Gong did not intend to resist from the beginning.
Jeong Nan-do, who was groaning low, immediately looked at Dae-yong Shin with sharp eyes.
“… Is it ‘Old Church’?”
Shin Dae-yong was slightly perplexed by Jeong Nan-do’s subtle question.
Who is asking if it’s ‘old church’?
ball moving? Two robbers?
if not… .
both?
After pondering for a while, Shin Dae-yong finally came up with the best answer he could come up with.
“… I’ll check.”

Early moning.
As usual, I was seated in the back corner of the classroom, curled up at my desk.
That time when I cried out in pain once in a while and resented my wife who had brought me to this level.
Min So-yeon, who was sitting next to her, spoke softly.
“… it’s okay?”
I struggled to get up and looked at her.
A sad expression that seems to burst into tears at any moment, compassion or sympathy, and warm eyes that feel sorry for me.
It’s been like this ever since.
“it’s okay.”
Then she spoke carefully with a serious face.
“… If you have any difficulties, please tell me.”
“… thank you.”
I was once again bewildered by Min So-yeon’s unknown consideration.
… Why are you doing this?
This is the third time this question has been answered.
It’s okay to tell her, I’ll help her… .
Now, if you are having a hard time, please tell me.
Did I look so tired… ?
If you think about it, there are some things that are a bit tricky.
I told her yesterday that I was working part-time, so it may seem like I’m having a hard time because I’ve been working hard.
… It was really hard… .
I couldn’t sleep well, and I was wallowing with my wife until early in the morning, so what could be harder than this?
Before going to school, my wife took care of me, so I was getting better little by little, but when I just left the hotel, my legs were really shaking.
So, I had no choice but to give Soyeon a bit of a hard tee in front of me, but I didn’t know she would worry about me this much.
But that doesn’t mean he’s dating his wife.
If she finds out that I am working under her, Soyeon may feel a great sense of betrayal.
We’ve come to the point where we can say we’ve just become close friends, but I don’t want to get farther away.
… How do you get around this… .
At that time, pretending not to notice Min So-yeon’s glance, she was choosing words to reassure her.
“… Are you going to work today?”
Min So-yeon spoke as if worried.
Work? go go go
From tonight until the weekend, I’m going to stay at my wife’s house,
As my wife came to Seoul, I had more time to take care of Soyeon.
After spending time with Soyeon, it might be okay to leave late.
“I’m going, but I want to leave late.”
“… late?”
“I think it would be perfect if we had dinner with you and played for a while, right?”
Then Min So-yeon pondered something, and changed the topic with a satisfied face.
*
‘I think it would be perfect if I had dinner with you and played for a while, right?’
Jihwan’s words that he wanted to go while spending time together penetrated my heart.
No matter how much your body and mind are abused, and you are tempted by dirty money,
It was a word that proved that the heart for me was pure.
After all, Jihwan didn’t sell his body because he wanted to sell it.
For me, for me, for this Min So-yeon, it was inevitable.
There is only one reason for doing this to me, who is not a family member and is a stranger.
… because you love me… .
me… .
Min So-yeon… .
Not ‘The Swordsman’s Daughter’… , I’m Soyeon Min… !
A friend told me that love blinds the eyes.
Yes, Jihwan is blind.
because you love me so much
I really like Min So-yeon, I want to cherish her, I want to do something good, so it is clear that she has gone blind.
So I had no choice but to make such a wrong choice.
Yoo Ji-hwan, you idiot, you idiot… .
Of course I can understand his mind.
Favorite… , probably because he doesn’t want to show his lack of love to the woman he loves.
That’s what ‘friends’, who are experts in men, said so, it’s certain.
The important thing is, if you get married later anyway, my money is his money, and my wealth is his.
There’s no way Yoo Ji-hwan didn’t know that, so why did he make such a foolish choice?
Why did you sell your precious first experience for so little money?
It’s all because I’m not sure.
I’m sure you can marry me!
All men say that when they see an attractive woman, they are engulfed in their instincts.
Yoo Ji-hwan has never revealed such a desire until now.
It means that you value me that much… .
“… .”
At that moment, an ominous thought ran through my head.
Jihwan has never seen me through sexual eyes before.
It’s not like I’ve been tied up, not even once.
… no way… .
I don’t look attractive… ?
Oh no… . I can’t… .
I quickly shook my head and brushed away my useless thoughts.
I don’t feel any attraction, but you love me.
He’s not even an adult, and there is no such man in this world.
Then why did you fall in love with me?
Did you like smoking cigarettes? ?
But he didn’t like to smoke.
… Yo, did the cursing look sexy?
Every time I swear, he didn’t react well.
Baby, what the hell… .
When I think about it, I can’t think of any reason why he likes me.
at that time.
I remembered what my friend ‘Midori’ had said.
‘There is such a thing as love at first sight, did I just snap out of my boyfriend as soon as I saw him?’
this, this… !
Yoo Ji-hwan fell in love with me at first sight.
Just like fate!
yes, fate.
Other than this, his favor cannot be explained.
A love made by fate, is there anything more heart-pounding than this?
After understanding Yoo Ji-hwan’s heart, I was able to put my mind at ease.
“… ha… .”
I forcibly put my excited mind to sleep and figured out a way to rescue Jihwan.
… Just as Jihwan saved me, I have to save Jihwan… .
*
… Why are you doing this… ?
It seems that something happened to Soyeon.
He seemed to be thinking about something a while ago, and he told me to go home first.
I wondered if I had misunderstood, so I asked her.
“… You want me to go to your house first? alone?”
She answered with a nodded face.
“… I have some business to do.”
… What’s the matter, are you trying to send me home?
First off, it’s not a supermarket.
For tonight’s dinner, I have enough ingredients at home, so I don’t have to stop by the mart.
Above all else, if you’re going to the mart, there’s no reason to send me first.
Maybe it’s something you don’t want to show me?
He’s in the midst of puberty, so he’s likely to have at least one or two secret secrets.
… It would be good to pretend not to know here.
So I told her that I would go first, got the password, and headed home.
I wondered if it would be okay to let anyone know the password like this, but since it means that it is easy to bet, I felt a little happy.
However.
Conversely, it means that you can just give out your password to someone you are comfortable with.
Soyeon says there will be a man who goes in and out of her house recklessly?
Oh my gosh… .
We’ll never allow that man until he beats my wife.
Today, I have no choice but to skip it, but I think I will need some solid education sooner or later.
So, after I broke up with Min So-yeon, I went straight to her house.
In front of the house I just arrived at.
Open the familiar gate, go through the front door,
“… Excuse me… .”
He spoke softly and stepped in cautiously.
As usual, all the lights were turned off and the house was dark.
It was dark, and it felt very cold.
I immediately turned on all the lights in the house and sat quietly on the sofa in the living room.
“… .”
What to say about a family without Soyeon? .
It was frighteningly quiet, and very unfamiliar.
Unlike usual, the dark hallway felt like there was no end in sight, and the spacious living room and kitchen were so quiet that even the rustling of clothes could be heard.
Soyeon was living alone in a house like this… .
Feeling pitiful for So-yeon again, I thought that it would be right for my wife and So-yeon to merge the house.
That time, with the TV on, waiting for Soyeon idly.
n- tiri-rik-
There was the sound of a lock being opened from the front door.
When I got up from the sofa and headed to the front door, Min So-yeon, who came back from her chores, took off her shoes.
“Have you been well?”
“… yes.”
As soon as I spoke to her, she gave a small reply and put her feet into the slippers.
By the way… .
… What is that?
Min So-yeon’s hand was holding an unknown object tightly.
Something that looked like a money envelope.
