chapter 15
15 – Queen-10 under the moonlight
I had a dream.
I couldn’t do anything in front of the overwhelming power that I couldn’t resist. I saw other beings creeping up from afar. All of them were overwhelmingly stronger beings than me.
‘Why am I so weak?’
Why are you weak because you haven’t awakened?
Without mana, I was just a toy in their hands.
If you live hard, what will you do? After all, you are an existence that is subordinated to their hands.
Their love was too heavy for me, who could neither be loved nor loved.
I can’t reciprocate their love. I can’t deny their love.
‘If you do, you’ll be locked up somewhere.’
All I can do is ride the tight line and hold on.
Would it have been different if I hadn’t saved them? Have I been fooling around for nothing? Was my desire to be of strength to someone wrong?
Yandere.
A person who is morbidly in love.
I’m not stupid either. Ha-yeon’s love and obsession with me, and Wol-ha’s possessiveness, it’s not that I couldn’t read them.
It’s just that my mind deliberately didn’t accept it.
‘If it’s a disease, it can be cured.’
Perhaps the reason they reappeared in front of me was because I needed to cure the disease.
With this conclusion, my mind was clear and my fears were gone.
The sunlight that watched over me and the darkness that entangled my body just floated around me before I knew it, and did not harm me in any way.
‘Let’s do something.’
Souma overtook me and I lost consciousness.
***
I felt like I had a hopeful dream.
I couldn’t quite remember what I was dreaming about, but my heart felt lighter. I felt like I could do anything.
When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
The place I was sleeping was not a chair, but a soft bed.
I got up and looked around. I thought that the interior of the room had no personality because it was a guest room.
‘But my back is a bit heavy.’
As expected, Ha-yeon and Wol-ha were lying next to me holding me.
It seems that I have lost my mind halfway to see such a ridiculous situation.
I think we fought a lot before passing out, but did you reconcile after that?
Looking at Ha-yeon’s face, I wasn’t afraid at all. My body trembled a little when I thought of the punishment that would come later, but until then, you can get it once and get it.
The two of them tried to get up carefully so as not to wake up, but it seemed that it was not enough to deceive the A-class awakeners and the S-class awakeners.
They both got up as I bent down to get up.
“Ugh, brother, are you awake?”
“Did you sleep well?”
Is it a flower in both hands or a bomb? Looking at the way Booth gets up, it’s not enough to say it’s a flower, but considering the power it has, it’s not enough to say it’s a nuclear bomb, not a bomb.
‘There seem to be flower-shaped bombs these days.’
“Apart from Ha-yeon, why are you with Wol-ha?”
“Why does Ha-yeon just let her go?”
“Yeah, I’m not you… but unlike Mr. Wol-ha, I’m my older brother’s younger sister.”
There was a strange war of nerves between the two, but it wasn’t like a bomb that didn’t know when to fight. It was a similar atmosphere to the Cold War between the two great powers, which was said to have taken place long before the cataclysm.
“So, why did you two come in? It looks like there are many rooms here, but shouldn’t each one sleep? There won’t be four separate rooms for moonlighting.”
It was a neat sentence that didn’t show any intimidation. We will be able to talk for a while.
“I came because I was worried about the knight. It was too strong violence for non-Awakened people to accept.”
“Violence!”
“Then it’s violence. If it’s not violence to have S-class Awakened people spread their strength to non-Awakened people, then what?”
“That’s right, but…”
Listening to the natural conversation between the two of them, I thought they had made an agreement while I wasn’t there.
Good is good, because if the two of us fought sincerely, a shrimp like me would break his back. was it not?
“Wouldn’t it be good to apologize to the driver right now? He was moaning a lot as if he were having a nightmare.”
On the day of the moon, Ha-yeon hesitated at the tone of her voice and bowed her head to me.
“I’m sorry. Brother.”
It was so cute that I stroked her hair once.
“It’s okay. Instead, you won’t do that in the future, will you?”
“Yes, from now on, I will not spread my momentum to my brother.”
Why do I hear that saying that I will spray it to someone other than my brother?
“Doesn’t the driver get hungry? Ha-yeon must be hungry as well, since she made a fuss like that.”
How many things happened while you were sleeping?
“I’m a little hungry.”
“Then let’s go to the restaurant together. The best restaurant in the underworld is our building.”
moved along the moon. I walked down the hallway, took the elevator once, and walked a little to find a place that looked like a hotel buffet.
“It’s a place that my closest friends and I use. It’s a buffet style, but I can say that the taste is better than most restaurants.”
“Sorry, but I’ve never been to a restaurant.”
“From now on, I’ll serve you a lot, but Ha-yeon didn’t buy me something delicious even after meeting the older brother you’ve been looking for so much?”
“I saw you two days ago too?! On the first day, I gave you the food I made, and after this work, I was going to feed you lots of delicious food!”
Ha-yeon’s short tongue, this is a bit precious. I heard it when we first met, but that was the tone of a guard commander, so that must be Ha-yeon’s flattering words. Seeing that there was some awkwardness mixed in, I wondered if he would have used that kind of tone with his subordinates who were comfortable with him.
I went to get the food, feeling relieved to see the dill being added in a friendly way.
Meat that looked like a steak, fried food that looked delicious, fresh salad that I didn’t know where to get it, and even a dish made of fish. As I put my food in moderation, I saw a familiar face at the table opposite.
As soon as our eyes met, she lowered her head, sighed deeply, and approached her.
“Oh… don’t come!!”
You must have been very frightened. Well, I was a bit scared yesterday.
“Sorry. Yesterday I had a nightmare. Was I being too sensitive?”
“No. It’s okay.”
As she was about to stand up, she heard two footsteps behind her.
“Brother? What are you doing?”
“Jiae? Did you do anything wrong to the driver yesterday?”
I didn’t know what expression the two of them were making, but seeing the expression on the woman’s face, which was more contemplative than when I approached, I’m sure they’re not laughing at all.
“sorry!!”
She got up and ran away. It looked like there was still more than half of the food left on the plate, but I was worried that I might have interrupted my meal for no reason.
‘But I’m not in a situation where I have to worry about other people.’
What face are the kids making? Carefully turning my head, I saw the two smiling brightly with expressions that they did not know how to get angry.
“Now eat.”
`Did you change the target?`
I was wondering if I should be grateful that the pressure wasn’t coming on me or if I should apologize for only avoiding others, and I decided to do both.
“Ha-yeon eats a lot.”
“So what are you complaining about?”
There was a lot of food on Ha-yeon’s plate.
It’s about 3 times more than I thought I had, so it’s easy to see how much it is.
‘But Wolha, aren’t you in a position to tell others too?’
Wolha was also twice as large as the amount I scooped.
The awakened people ate the rice deliciously while worrying about whether they ate a lot.
It definitely looked like a good restaurant. I can confidently say it was the most delicious meal of my life.
The meat was tender and well-cooked on the inside, but the taste created by the Maillard reaction spread on the outside, and the fried food was delicious without feeling greasy.
“I think it was the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. Thank you very much.”
“I’m glad the driver enjoyed your meal. Ha-yeon, did you enjoy your meal?”
“I enjoyed my meal somehow. If I had to rank it, it would be 9th?”
“You ate 3 bowls of this food for free and you’re in 9th place? You’re so shameless.”
“It’s free, so I’m in 9th place. In terms of pure taste, I can’t even get into the top 10. Don’t you know who I am?”
Ha-yeon, who always spoke with respect, was very different. Hayeon has this kind of side too.
I smiled naturally as I watched the burdensomely pretty two beauties doing tikitaka.
As I stared at her with a smile on her lips, the two women stopped talking and looked at me.
Seeing both of their faces red, they seemed very excited.
“Have you all fought? Then will you wake up?”
“Cute, cute, cute, cute…”
Ha Yeon-ah, it’s because you can’t hear your inner thoughts.
Wolha was not that different.
The usual cool and cool urban beauty went nowhere and just looked at me with a blank expression.
Are you guys really okay?
