Episode 166
Gaon’s Weekend.
Aden looked at Shin Yoo-seong, who was sitting across from him, and smiled.
[Then... can I ask for one more seat?]
The granddaughter’s request that would not hurt even if you put it in her eyes at the beginning of the story. Adela wanted to participate in the raid of the red dragon Sardonyx, invited by Aden, along with Shin Yoo-seong.
‘It must be proof that Adela... is aware of Yooseong as her rival.’
Aden kept smiling and asked Yoosung Shin.
“Yoo Seong-ah, I know you already heard the explanation from the principal. don’t ask again What do you think about going to Italy this time?”
A named 7th grade boss called a disaster.
It is also an opportunity to see a rare dragon up close. Shin Yooseong had no reason to refuse.
It was a golden opportunity for Shin Yoo-seong, who just finished the exam, because he had time to spare.
“I also want to participate.”
“Heh, that’s good. Then, when the deadline is up, send the guide yourself. There must be so many people who covet you during your active duty... It’s also a job to choose someone who has no selfishness. haha!”
Aden smiled cheerfully and got up from his seat. A bitter smile lingered on Arden’s lips as he turned his head.
Aden didn’t want his granddaughter’s interest in Shin Yoo-seong to end up as a mere rival.
5 years old.
Aden thought that it would be nice if someone could ease the cold burden that Adela had been carrying after ‘the incident’.
However, Shin Yoo-seong, whom Adela was interested in, resembles and is very different. Although the reasons are different, Yoosung Shin and Adela suffered greatly at the age of 5.
Maybe that’s why, although it was an unfounded belief, Aden believed that a new meteor had the power to melt Adela’s cold and hardened heart.
‘It must be an unreasonable idea.’
A time when everyone was happy.
I didn’t even want Adela’s bright appearance. Aden just wanted to be comfortable. When I saw my granddaughter who had turned into the winter of Volterra, my heart was tight even though she was innocent.
So Aden wanted to see even the slightest change.
Arden didn’t want her granddaughter to spend long periods of time alone.
I didn’t want it even more that I didn’t notice the loneliness even though I was alone.
So for yourself. for Adela.
‘But if it’s this child...’
Aden entrusted his granddaughter to Shin Yoo-seong through this opportunity.
* * *
The weekend after the exam is special.
There were students like Kim Eun-ah who went to visit their families after a long absence, and there were students like Lee Si-woo who used portals to travel to foreign countries such as Japan, even for a short time.
Of course, Amy was a peculiar case of being busier on weekends than on weekdays, but weekends are precious to most students.
‘Because it’s been quite a while since you ate. Snacks so you don’t get bored...’
But Sumire liked the school where she could be with Shin Yoo-seong. What Sumire especially likes is the moment when she cooks food for Shin Yoo-seong.
‘Finally... Tteokbokki rice cakes were left over. I can fry it and season it!’
Shin Yoo-seong for his own reasons.
Sumire never went to see her family on the weekends because it was too far away. More often than not, we spend time naturally.
It was such a happy thing for Sumire to have time to make a meal for just the two of them like today.
“Mr. Yooseong, it’s finished here!”
And for Shin Yoo-seong, the time to taste Sumire’s meal was definitely a happy moment.
‘...Mr. Yooseong.’
However, recently, watching Shin Yoo-seong eating food, Sumire’s feelings were gradually changing.
In the past, I was happy to eat delicious food that I had worked hard on.
A simple yet primary mind.
But now it was different.
Loss left alone.
Shin Yoo-seong eats his own food.
Sumire herself goes to wake Shin Yoo-seong, who has been asleep since the morning of the weekend.
I tried not to be conscious of it, but Shin Yoo-seong’s repeated actions were more like a couple’s daily life than a colleague.
“...Sumire. What’s going on?”
Shin Yoo-seong said as he put down the snack he was eating. Because he lived in Mt. Musin, Shin Yoo-seong is dark about common sense, but he captures other people’s emotions surprisingly well.
“yes!? oh no just I was thinking a little...”
“What are you thinking?”
Shin Yoo-seong asks with a puzzled face.
Sumire laughed awkwardly as usual.
“just. I’m a little happy...”
I’m also afraid.
But Sumire couldn’t bear to speak behind her back. It wasn’t a colleague, but it wasn’t a relationship that wasn’t even a lover. The daily life that Sumire was happy with was very dangerous.
“This time... I’m going to Italy. I won’t see you for a while. I want to.”
Even if you muster up the courage to speak out like this. The relationship Shin Yoo-seong accepted was always a colleague.
“I will miss you too. Sumire. It’s an important opportunity.”
Talk talk.
Sumire sat down on the bench and kicked herself, then looked at Shin Yoo-seong and smiled shyly as usual. So many memories flowed without even trying to recall them.
[Oh really can’t! Sumire tries to defeat him again!]
[But let’s play with values~ Sumire is kind.]
Is it because of Sumire’s greatest fear being hated? Sumire wrapped up her immature self in the name of consideration.
[...I’m fine! You can do it next time.]
[As expected, he gives in, and Sumire is nice~]
[She is considerate of others. Then please?]
If it doesn’t stand out.
if you don’t get greedy.
There is nothing to be hated on. It was Sumire’s nature to protect herself while avoiding trouble like that.
“I kept holding back... I tried hard not to be hated.”
The undead dungeon runaway case.
As Sumire’s characteristics with necromantic skills ran out of control, the undead entered a berserk state. Although there were no casualties, the incident was a nightmare for Sumire, who was only a middle school student.
[Kyaaaaagh! Run away!]
[Ugh! Mr. Seo!]
The situation in a crowded dungeon.
Screams heard all around.
Of course, the real nightmare came after the incident.
[...Sumire! Because of you!]
[I feel really bad...]
Sumire couldn’t stand the attitude and hatred of the people who had changed. himself with his head down. The hallway felt longer than usual.
Sumire eventually returned home.
Sumire could no longer go back to school. Because I didn’t have the courage to walk directly to a place that would be hated.
That’s why Sumire came to Korea
because she was able to start anew where she didn’t know herself. I thought there was no sense of responsibility, but self-loathing was better than the fear of stiff hands and feet.
But now it was different.
“But now I want to change.”
Sumire carefully leaned on Shin Yoo-seong’s shoulder. Even in her natural posture, her body was stiff somewhere, and the skin against her was hot, perhaps because she was nervous.
“...with a little more courage. I also want to be greedy.”
And at that moment, it was as if she was trying to cool off the reddened Sumire.
widely. Tak-
tak-tak.
Raindrops fell from the sky.
Waves spreading across the pond.
The touch of rainwater tickling your feet.
The clear sound of raindrops spreading.
Shoot ah-
the scent of greenery washed away by the rain tickled my nose and vibrated. Sumire closed her eyes and whispered with courage while leaning on Shin Yoo-seong’s shoulder.
“...About Yoosung. I want to know more. ... I want to stay together.”
alone time.
Park in the rain.
Sumire thought it would be nice if everything stopped like this. Shin Yoo-seong gives Sumire a shoulder and smiles as if she knows that feeling.
It’s too deep to be just a colleague.
A relationship too pure to be love.
However, the owner of the piece supporting Sumire did not like the ambiguous distance.
– ...my child.
at that time.
Laplace’s voice echoed in Sumire’s head.
– You made that promise. How satisfied are you with this relationship? Even if there is no greed, there is a degree.
What’s Sumire in Laplace’s voice? A moment of embarrassment with a bewildered expression.
“Yoosung. Please stay with me today.”
Sumire’s harsh words came out of his mouth.
– Huhu, yes. If you’re greedy, this should be tidied up.
Laplace is pleased with himself for no reason.
“Ah Yoo Yooseong! That’s what I just did!”
When Embarrassed Sumire tried to deal with it, Yoosung Shin smiled while making eye contact.
“huh. I will. Sumire.”
Sumire stopped talking and closed her mouth tightly. But even so, I couldn’t stand the tail of my mouth that twitched.
‘I’m so happy...’
To be able to go on a date all Saturday and be together until the next day. The happy Sumire was already thanking Laplace in her heart.
