By Zephyria Kim Ju-won was very upset.
Even when everyone was happy about Ki Jae-eon’s comeback, he couldn’t smile as much.
Why? Because the ‘Ki Jae-eon he had decided to abandon’ had returned? That’s not wrong. No matter what excuses he made, the fact that he turned his back on him was a fact, so it would be a lie if he didn’t feel guilty at all. But there was something more serious than that.
‘……Why.’
With a spaced-out expression, Kim Ju-won stared blankly into the air.
“Hey! You have to draw it over here!”
“Huh? No. This is prettier.”
“But Ju-won isn’t helping. What are you doing?”
“I don’t know~ Even if you call him, he’s like that. It’s easier to think of him as an object.”
Kim Ju-won was sitting alone in the corner in the pose of ‘The Thinker’ even when the children were busy making [(Congratulations) (Celebration)] placards.
No matter how much they called him, he didn’t budge.
Eventually, the children decided to ignore him and focus on making the placards.
So, what was Kim Ju-won so worried about!
The topic was this.
‘Why did that son of a bitch kiss him.’
That’s right.
Shin Yoon’s sudden kiss!
That day’s scene was a fresh shock to Kim Ju-won in many ways.
Because it’s weird.
‘Yeah, it’s weird no matter how much I think about it.’
Why, why, what for!
From Ahn Seo-myeong to that son of a bitch… are they all so eager to cling to Ki Jae-eon!
No, of course, he doesn’t completely understand. Ki Jae-eon is special.
He agrees that there is a unique attraction to him that is different from others.
He felt that way too.
But it was closer to a feeling of ‘admiration.’ He wanted to emulate him, he respected him, he regarded him as an idol…
‘Well, he’s also the type you want to protect.’
Anyway!
Even so, that’s different from rubbing lips and stuff, right?
He swears that he doesn’t have the impure feelings of Ahn Seo-myeong or that son of a bitch.
‘It shouldn’t be…….’
Kim Ju-won twitched his eyebrows and sighed as if the ground was sinking. His chest was so stuffy he was going crazy.
‘Even.’
The problem was that when that son of a bitch, Shin Yoon, gave Ki Jae-eon a surprise kiss, he suddenly thought of ‘Ki Jae-eon’s love life.’
‘There are three intertwined relationships. They’re also very tenacious. The more you try to cut them off, the more they’ll bind you. So you have to let them unravel naturally. Keep that in mind.’
……That’s what he said, right?
‘Damn it, fuck.’
That means two of those intertwined relationships are with men!
‘First of all, Ahn Seo-myeong, that bastard is definitely confirmed. And the other one is Shin Yoon…….’
What kind of list is this?
Is Ki Jae-eon’s life okay?
No, of course, Ki Jae-eon reacted as if it was nonsense… and more than anything, he said he had no intention of dating, so there might not be any need to worry.
‘But when you think about it, relationships are connected regardless of your own will.’
Kim Ju-won tore at his hair, his face pale.
‘What if the other one is a man too?’
That’s really too much!
‘Rather than another son of a bitch like Shin Yoon getting involved…….’
Huh? Rather?
With a loud thud, Kim Ju-won got up from his seat. The chair fell backward due to his violent movement.
The children who were writing large letters on the placard were startled and raised their heads. What? Hyung, are you doing physical comedy? The children burst into laughter at the dazed Kim Ju-won. But Kim Ju-won didn’t care. No, it was as if he couldn’t see anything around him at all. A look of being lost somewhere.
His eyebrows were furrowed in a way he had never seen before, his pupils were shaking without focus, and his Adam’s apple was busy swallowing dry saliva.
It was as if he had discovered a unicorn on a major street.
“Huh? Ah?”
That was all that came out of his mouth after a brief silence. Kim Ju-won himself became more dazed at the pathetic sound. But for some reason, his heart was beating even louder. Thump, thump! His heart was beating at a rhythm it shouldn’t be.
‘Huh? Uh, uh, uh, uh?’
His palms became damp and cold sweat began to trickle down his back. This is a really bad sign.
At that time, Lee Gyeong-hak, who couldn’t stand it any longer, frowned and approached him.
“What’s wrong with you?”
He asked as if it was nothing and tapped him on the shoulder. The moment he did, Kim Ju-won was startled and screamed.
“Eek!”
“Eek!”
Lee Gyeong-hak also screamed.
The two looked at each other as if they were looking at idiots and calmed their pounding hearts.
“What, what!”
“What!”
“What is it!”
“No, I know you have some worries, but do I have to be surprised too?”
Lee Gyeong-hak was being sarcastic as usual, but Kim Ju-won couldn’t respond as usual.
So, that’s, because.
The sentence that naturally followed [Rather] was, I’d be better-
One of Ki Jae-eon’s complicated and strange relationships, rather than some bastard who came from who knows where…… Wouldn’t he be better? That kind of thought.
‘I’d be better?’
The moment he repeated it in his mind, his right hand moved first.
Slap!
A refreshing impact echoed through the living room.
Soon, a burning pain rose up his cheek.
“What the hell is wrong with you!”
“…….”
“Why are you hurting yourself?!”
Lee Gyeong-hak, who was really surprised, took a step back. Hey, Kim Ju-won is completely crazy! He didn’t forget to shout at the kids.
“Do you have a fever somewhere?”
“……Gyeong-hak.”
Kim Ju-won, who had been spacing out, suddenly called Lee Gyeong-hak. His gaze was still fixed on the air.
“Huh?”
“Where’s Ahn Seo-myeong.”
“Huh?”
“Ahn Seo-myeong, where is he.”
I have something to ask him. It’s urgent.
It was a sudden and absurd question, but the momentum was so strong that Lee Gyeong-hak barely answered with an ambiguous expression.
“Seo-myeong…… is in the indoor training center. He’s taming the Cursed Womb Cave.”
*
Ahn Seo-myeong.
If you ask why he didn’t even make a placard for Ki Jae-eon, whom he would die for, and was holed up alone in the indoor training center, the answer goes back quite a ways. Yes, it’s from around the time everyone was fighting the specter summoned by Shin Yoon.
Ahn Seo-myeong woke up late, just like Ki Jae-eon. He realized that he was a step behind the others due to the tilting dormitory floor and the negative energy that wrapped around his entire body. Anyway, this is not the time! As he thought this and hurriedly tried to leave, his gaze suddenly fell on the old wooden box placed on his desk, the Cursed Womb Cave. An object that he had accidentally received in Japan and had been left unattended while he was looking for a target to tame.
He still doesn’t know why he felt such a strong attraction at that moment.
It could have just been a feeling.
However, what was clear was that Ahn Seo-myeong intuitively felt, ‘Ah, today is the day.’
Before rushing out the door, he grabbed the Cursed Womb Cave. The cold sensation that touched his palm. He felt it instinctively. You’ve finally found something to eat.
A sign that something was about to awaken.
Ahn Seo-myeong didn’t hesitate any longer.
He just ran like crazy towards the battlefield, guided by the Cursed Womb Cave.
Anyway, the place he arrived at after running so frantically was the chaotic training field.
Amidst the noise that couldn’t be distinguished between screams and wind, Ki Jae-eon was being swallowed by the light while holding onto that guy whose name he didn’t even want to say. Jae-eon hyung! Even if he shouted loudly, it would only be swallowed by the fierce wind. Heok, as he caught his breath and tried to call him again, Ki Jae-eon raised his head. As if he knew that Ahn Seo-myeong would be there, his black eyes stared at him without a single mistake.
Their eyes met.
There was no sound or action, but what was conveyed was very clear.
Please.
It didn’t come out as a sound, but Ahn Seo-myeong understood.
Ki Jae-eon was instructing him to do something, and that only he could do it.
Ahn Seo-myeong calmly calmed his pounding heart and stood rooted to the spot.
Not yet, not yet.
What I have to do is wait for the right time.
Let’s be calm. Don’t be impatient.
That’s how he decided to trust Ki Jae-eon.
—-Paaat!
At the end of a short wait, the light fluctuated violently as if it were contracting, and then the people from the main office who had disappeared regained their original positions.
And immediately, a black curse shot up like a fountain.
An evil aura that pollutes the air.
An ominous movement just before an evil spirit is born.
‘Ah, that’s it.’
Seo-myeong looked down at the wooden box in his hand.
Cursed Womb Cave.
‘Jae-eon hyung and you too…….’
He rubbed the side of the box with his thumb. A mysterious energy leaked from the rough, dry texture.
‘I was hyung’s safety device.’
He understood now.
He smirked and slowly took out the Cursed Womb Cave.
[Gu Poison]
Ahn Seo-myeong decided to fill the Cursed Womb Cave with [Gu Poison] itself.
And the result is, as you can see.
“Heok, heok.”
Damn it, it’s so hard.
