By Zephyria ‘Lee Tae-kyung has to have a hard time to death because of me too. So he has to desperately realize how much he needs me.’
Sung Se-han tilted his face towards Grandmother and raised one corner of his mouth. The way his clear eyes gleamed looked devilishly evil.
‘I’m not the one going back.’
What, what did you say…?
‘Lee Tae-kyung is the one going back.’
Sung Se-han’s long eyes curved, and he let out a satisfied laugh. The hand that was trying to grab his broad shoulder began to tremble in the air.
‘It depends on how much Lee Tae-kyung wants me. I don’t deal with lukewarm feelings. He has to want me to death.’
That much.
Sung Se-han, whom I wanted to save with all my might, was smiling in front of me as if he was enjoying it.
‘Grandmother, don’t give Lee Tae-kyung any hints at all.’
‘But, Se-han.’
Grandmother, who had been listening to Sung Se-han’s words, tilted her head as if worried.
‘Even if Tae-kyung thinks about you a lot, it’s hard to succeed if you put in such difficult settings. Then you might not be able to go back, are you still okay with that?’
Sung Se-han looked out the window. He didn’t seem to be thinking about anything. I can tell by his gleaming eyes. That bastard is enjoying the exciting feeling right now.
‘If Grandmother tells Lee Tae-kyung anything, then it’s all invalid.’
Hey! You, you bad bastard!
I felt my eyes rolling back. I felt so hot all the way to the top of my head that I was about to explode, so I grabbed Sung Se-han’s collar.
At that moment, my body floated up and then fell.
“…!”
Unable to withstand the impact of the fall, I knelt on the floor and supported myself with my hands.
[Lee Tae-kyung has done a commendable thing by throwing away his last stronghold for Sung Se-han. As a result…….]
[Inferiority Score has decreased by -1!]
Red letters appeared before my eyes as I lowered my head.
[We will inform you of Lee Tae-kyung’s current Inferiority Score.]
[Congratulations! 0 points!]
[Bbambarabbam! Bbambbam! Bbam! How to prevent the death of genius idol Sung Se-han! The mission has been successfully completed!]
[Congratulations! Congratulations! Lee Tae-kyung’s successful…….]
“Um, excuse me.”
Status Window may be excited, but I’m not in the mood.
I put strength into my hands on the floor and stood up abruptly with the reaction. Haa…! I looked up at the beautiful dawn sky where the stars were shining once and slowly turned my body.
Sung Se-han was still leaning diagonally against the slide. I stood still and glared at him to catch my breath, and the bastard tilted his face to the side and let out a burst of laughter.
“Lee Tae-kyung, are you a little sober now?”
“I.”
I took off the backpack that was precariously hanging on my shoulder and threw it on the floor.
“Did I say I didn’t drink, or did I not say it.”
The sound of gritted teeth leaked out.
I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I clenched my fists and strode forward. Sung Se-han raised the corners of his mouth as he saw me getting closer.
“If you’re not drunk, but your eyes are weird, then you’re not normal either.”
“Shut up! You bad bastard…!”
I rushed over and grabbed Sung Se-han’s shirt.
“Hey! You bad bastard! Because of you! Because of you, I suffered so much…!”
I vaguely thought that I was shouting too loudly, but I couldn’t control myself. It was impossible to come to my senses now that the past times of pain were flashing by like lightning.
“Did you have to torment me that much? You could have done it roughly! No matter how much you hated me, how could you do that…! So, are you satisfied now? Do you feel relieved?”
“Calm down a bit.”
Sung Se-han covered my hands that were shaking his collar like crazy, and I was speechless. I held my breath for a moment as Sung Se-han tilted his face towards me.
“I don’t smell alcohol.”
My body froze as it was because of the sweet breath coming from my neck. Sung Se-han met my eyes like that.
“I guess you drank more than I thought.”
His brown eyes, shining with light, were right in front of me. He was alive and well like this, showing off his strong vitality and radiating radiance.
“Sung Se-han.”
I grabbed his shirt even more tightly, afraid that the strength in my hands would weaken.
“Remember my words clearly from now on.”
Sung Se-han’s eyebrows lowered as I spat out the words, grinding my teeth.
“I know, so please don’t cry.”
Sung Se-han raised his hand again to wipe away my tears, but I pushed that hand away. I didn’t want to see that bastard right now!
“I protected you. So you’re mine!”
One of Sung Se-han’s eyebrows went up.
“Is that how it is?”
“Yes! You idiot!”
Tears burst out, and Sung Se-han’s face became blurry. So this time, I couldn’t push away the big hand that was wiping my face.
“I’m going to say something important, so listen carefully!”
“I’m listening. Speak slowly.”
Sung Se-han willingly followed as I grabbed his shirt and pulled him down. I put my arms around Sung Se-han’s shoulders and hugged his strong body.
Ah, Sung Se-han’s scent makes me breathe. Now I can live properly.
Now I can like Sung Se-han as much as I want. I don’t have to break up.
I can have Sung Se-han without being afraid of anything.
I couldn’t believe this fact, so it felt like my tears wouldn’t stop.
“Sung Se-han, you’re the only one for me. There’s no one else for me!”
I could feel Sung Se-han’s body stiffening at my words. I rubbed my lips against Sung Se-han’s neck while hugging his broad shoulders.
“You’re such an idiot. How could I like someone else when I have you?”
Sung Se-han’s strong arms hugged me back, but I could tell that there was no certainty in his hands. Then I just have to hug him tighter. So that he can trust me.
“Sung Se-han, I’ll probably like you no matter how many times I’m reborn. I came all the way here to meet you. To walk together with you in the same time!”
I was so happy that I could confess with all my heart that my heart felt like it was going to explode.
“That’s romantic.”
There was laughter in the low voice ringing in my ear. I took my arms off his broad shoulders and tilted my head back to look up at Sung Se-han.
A confident smile was floating above his clear eyes that were only reflecting me.
I had forgotten for a moment. No matter how bad a dream torments Sung Se-han, it won’t be able to swallow him. He will overcome it strongly. It’s okay now. Because I’ll be by his side.
“What should I do, Sung Se-han. You can’t run away anywhere now. If you get caught by me, you’re in big trouble. Got it?”
“Hahaha.”
I was grateful to be alive at the sight of Sung Se-han laughing as if he was really enjoying it. I thanked him for being able to be happy every hour and every minute from now on. I thanked all the beings watching over me for being able to live today.
“Let’s go together. To my apartment.”
Sung Se-han held out his hand.
“I don’t want to let you go, in case I say it’s a dream when morning comes.”
There was no reason to hesitate to take the hand he held out. There’s nothing to stop me now.
“I don’t want to be apart from you either.”
I think I can finally say that when Sung Se-han smiles so happily, I also become insanely happy.
“Sung Se-han.”
Holding hands, we slowly walked out of the playground.
“Will you tell me about Grandmother next time? What kind of person she was.”
“Um.”
I gave him a suspicious look at his ambiguous answer, and Sung Se-han touched his forehead. As if hesitating about something.
“I don’t know if you heard about Grandmother from Auntie, but I actually don’t want to talk about Grandmother to you.”
“Huh? Why…?”
Sung Se-han’s feet, holding my hand tightly, became a little faster. As we got out of the community building, the entrance to the apartment began to appear.
“I just don’t want to talk about it. Things like saying Grandmother has passed away.”
“Ah…!”
I see. This stubborn and cruel guy. He didn’t want to say that Grandmother had passed away, so that’s why he didn’t say a word to me before.
He loved Grandmother that much.
“Maybe… Grandmother might still be watching over you by Se-han’s side, right?”
“Of course.”
Sung Se-han, who had taken his eyes off me, looked up at the sky.
“I haven’t said my last goodbye yet. So Grandmother couldn’t leave either.”
As I pondered Sung Se-han’s words, I realized that I hadn’t said my last goodbye to Status Window either.
“What’s wrong?”
Sung Se-han asked with suspicious eyes as I suddenly looked around.
“There will be hangover cures at the convenience store. I’ll buy you one.”
“Why don’t you believe me when I say I didn’t drink?”
Sung Se-han burst out laughing again as I glared at him with my eyes raised. I’m really lucky today. To be able to see Sung Se-han’s smile so much.
From now on, I will live in that smile every day.
“Let’s go quickly.”
I went ahead and pulled Sung Se-han, and Sung Se-han followed me, matching my pace. As we almost ran out of the apartment entrance, Vice Manager was seen leaning against the sedan.
I think we made Vice Manager wait too long because the conversation got long. We started running as fast as we could as if we had made a promise.
During that time, Sung Se-han and I had too many days where we couldn’t fall into a deep sleep.
I have to hug him and sleep soundly tonight.
Maybe I’ll be late for work tomorrow and worry the members. Still, I thought it would be okay to be lazy for a day.
Because I’ve been running hard until now.
