chapter 26
26 – Date with Hayeon-1
“Ah do!”
“N… yes…”
The day after the rebellion to topple the Queen died down in one day, we greeted a peaceful morning.
The rebellion, which was expected to last for a week, was subdued in just one day because Wolha was promoted to S rank.
The rebellion was suppressed in an instant as it was possible to use the power against all the talented people who existed in the underworld.
‘Anyway, they became very close in one day.’
As expected, the kids seem to quickly become friends when they run around outside.
It was something I could say because I didn’t know what happened to the kids yesterday and how Sa-hyeon seduced Ga-yeon.
“Can I go shopping for clothes?”
“Okay, go.”
After the children left, a strange sense of desolation hung over the house.
“Then, as promised, my older brother and I will go on a date together today.”
“Yes, please come.”
Ha-yeon came to me with her arms crossed.
“Today, just the two of us, let’s have fun.”
“Oh, but is it okay not to be the captain of the guard? It seems like it’s been a week since I haven’t returned.”
“It’s okay. I told you to contact me if there’s a big problem as long as you’re doing everything you have to do over the radio even after you’re here.”
You work very comfortably.
I thought about it because I was working, but it’s been quite a while since I didn’t go to the boss.
“Can I meet the boss on the way?”
“Okay. Instead, don’t stay too long. I’m on a tight schedule because I’ve already planned what I’m going to do today.”
“Okay. I’ll finish it soon.”
I wore the black robe that Wolha gave me by pressing it deeply. The popularity gained at the arena is so great that people will recognize you wherever you go.
In Ha-yeon’s case, people recognized her when she wore a robe, so she dyed her hair with her ability.
When I asked how he did it, he said that anyone can do this once they become an S-class Awakener.
We quickly walked through the underworld and headed straight to the gunsmith.
I’ve been working at a gunsmith for 10 years, but the gunsmith today was something I’d never seen before.
-I’m taking a break for the time being.
The white paper attached to the store, which had been open for over 10 years and had never stopped, was really awkward.
“Didn’t you go looking for your brother?”
“He’s a nice guy, but he’s not that friendly. And he was taken by the guards chief, and if he had something to say, he would have said something to the guards at least once.”
After scanning the door a couple of times, I couldn’t find anything in particular. There were no flower pots at the door, and there were no marks on the signs.
“Shall we ask the kids to look for it?”
“No, the boss probably has personal circumstances too. The handwriting is also the boss’s handwriting, so there’s probably nothing wrong.”
Couldn’t it be that he was doing business every day to raise a salary for me, and then went on a trip while I quit my job? Since he was a cheerful person, it was a reliable guess.
“Then let’s go on a date. Can I ask for an escort? He said he’s already planned what to do.”
“Sure. Leave it to me.”
Ha-yeon took off the hat that was on my head first.
Dara was stripped by her younger sister. The tone is strange.
“It’s not an underworld here, so there’s no need to cover up, right? I don’t like it when other girls can see my brother’s face, but I have to.”
“Who would dare to look at a human face like mine? If it wasn’t for Wolhana, there’s no reason to pay attention to my face, right? Because I’m not that handsome.”
“I’m more worried about my brother because he doesn’t pay attention to his appearance! My brother isn’t super handsome, but he’s handsome enough!”
“Because the person next to you is a transcendent beauty, people saw your face when they saw it, wouldn’t they see mine?”
Ha-yeon’s face turned slightly red at my sudden praise.
“Your brother is very, very shy, do you really have to praise him like that?”
ok everything went according to plan
“I heard you don’t have time? Should I move quickly?”
“Are you ashamed? All right. I won’t say more.”
Ha-yeon smiled and crossed her arms.
We were of the same height, so our posture was comfortable. It’s a problem because the eyes of the people around you are stinging.
I’m your younger brother, younger brother, I’m not your lover, so please don’t look at me like that.
The place where Ha-yeon took me was a large building. I’ve often seen that there are quite a few buildings in the city center, but it was the first time I actually went inside.
“This building has a sad legend.”
“Did a ghost come out?”
“It’s a big deal if a ghost appears in the middle of the city. Will the guards go wild?”
I’m not talking about ghosts coming out of the gate, but Ha-yeon doesn’t seem to have seen a ghost yet.
“Then what sad legend is there?”
“The building was built by the owner of a building who lost loved ones in a cataclysm.”
“Is that a sad legend? Isn’t it just true?”
“How can it be written like that as soon as you enter the building?”
As I turned my gaze to Ha-yeon’s pointing hand, I saw sentences written on a large screen.
This isn’t a short article, so to summarize:
`There is a sad legend about this building. It’s a sad legend about a building owner who lost all his loved ones in a cataclysm. So, the building owner built this building to remember his loved ones. Come hang out with the people you love.”
Who is in charge of marketing? Did the landlord give permission to put this kind of writing on the entrance?
“Anyway, this is a place where a lot of people come to hang out with the people they love. They come to hang out with their families and also with their lovers. Just like us!”
You and I came as a family. know?
“The admission fee is… 150,000 won per person? Why is it so expensive?”
“It’s a place for rich people in the first place. Don’t worry brother, I’ll pay for it.”
Ha-yeon took out 300,000 won in cash from her wallet and paid for it.
300,000 won? It’s a familiar amount… .
‘Ah, the house I signed last week’
The monthly rent for that house was 300,000 won.
What building entrance fee is the monthly rent?
“Brother! I paid. You can come in now.”
“Uh, yes.”
The moment I entered the building following Ha-yeon, I could immediately understand why the entrance fee for this building was so expensive.
`An aquarium, an aquarium after a cataclysm! Isn’t that too extravagant?’
Fish is basically a precious body that costs more than meat. Since such expensive things are filled everywhere like this, the building cannot be maintained unless the entrance fee is high.
“Brother, look at this! The fish are so pretty.”
Certainly, the fish floating in the blue water were very pretty.
A lot of people were looking at the aquarium, whether it was the same as other people’s thoughts or simply because it was the first thing they saw upon entering the building.
There were no huge fish, but the sight of colorful fish swimming freely in the water seemed to bring rest to my recently tired mind.
“That’s pretty.”
“Shall we go to the next floor now?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
It would be enough to thank Ha-yeon for bringing me to this building just by looking around the first floor.
When I go home, I should say thank you to Ha-yeon.
“The second floor seems to be for children.”
“I guess so.”
A quick glance revealed a wide-open trampoline room and castles made of balloons.
I wondered what fun it was to run around in a place like that, but the children’s mouths were full of smiles.
My heart ached at the scenery that I could never see outside the city.
“Let’s bring the kids later. They’ll love it.”
Sahyeon might not like it. The young guy is growing up quickly, so if you bring him to a place like this, he’ll be there with a heart to play with Arirang and Ga-yeon, not just play and enjoy.
I could imagine Sahyun being dragged around by the kids.
“I will. Next time I have time, I’ll be sure to bring it.”
“It’s like having a son and a daughter. I’m not even married.”
“If Sahyeon and Ari are sons and daughters, who is the wife?”
Look at what Ga-yeon said without saying it.
I don’t know why, but Ga-yeon and Ha-yeon didn’t get along very well, and Wol-ha and Ari didn’t get along too.
Since he is the ruler of the underworld, he doesn’t feel awkward even if he doesn’t treat Ari who is under him kindly, but I don’t know why Hayeon is so kind to Gayeon while being nice to Ari.
Hayeon staring at me.
It was obvious what kind of answer he wanted to hear, but he did not respond to that expectation.
“Where is your wife? It just feels like having a son or daughter. Adoption is adoption.”
In fact, I am taking a position very similar to adoption.
“Let’s go to the next floor. We’re not going to play like kids here, are we?”
I pushed Hayeon’s back and went up to the next floor.
