I knew that I had entered the medical center quite splendidly. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by people, and I couldn’t help but notice.
‘But they didn’t tell me that I’d have special security.’
Unlike Yubaek Hospital, the medical center belongs to the bureau. No matter how influential Baekdam and Jung Yiheon are, they cannot deploy security personnel for private matters.
The old enemy could approach me at any time. But so far, it has never come close.
My gaze deepened as I stared into the air.
Why.
Was he unable or not able to.
I tried to guess the opponent’s thoughts but failed to achieve clear results. This is because the information about the other person is lacking.
‘But I do know that there’s a high probability that he’s from the security office… so that’s a problem.’
An outside patient who is not a member of the bureau is digging up the personal information of the security office staff. No matter how well you look at it, you will be suspected of being a spy.
I dug into my old enemy and discarded the plan to kill him. The risk is too high. Besides, the other person has never acted threateningly to me yet.
‘And above all, it’s impossible with this body.’
For now, I’m with someone else and watch the situation. It’s foolish to move hastily and put myself in a dangerous situation. I looked down at my pale arm and organized my thoughts.
It was then.
“Send me the organized one. Yeah, I don’t need the trivia… Yeah, that’s good enough. Don’t reveal the list yet.”
Jung Yiheon turned around as he finished the call. The gaze that had been floating high for a while came down as if thinking about something. Under the shadow cast by long eyelashes, the red eyes moved slowly.
“See you later, then.”
He smiles as our eyes meet. I patted the spirit stone roughly with a pinch. Jung Yiheon approached with light steps like a person who heard good news.
“I have good news.”
Don’t tell me you’re going to get me another spirit stone. I quickly said,
“This one is enough for me.”
Jung Yiheon raised the corners of his mouth when he said it with both hands. He nodded, patting the little grey stone lightly.
“I think so, too.”
I became more anxious.
If it’s not the spirit stone, what else is the good news he said.
“I.”
Before i could speak, Jung Yiheon opened his mouth first.
“Some items that boost your mental strength came in this time. It’s not that effective because it’s grade B….”
He seemed to want to give it to me if he didn’t finish his sentence. I paused for a moment and asked.
“Is it something to be auctioned off in the guild?”
“Yes, we haven’t announced it yet.”
“If I get it in advance, wouldn’t it be a little weird?”
Jeong Yiheon’s eyes grew bigger and regained their original size. With his head slightly tilted to the side, he looked like he was thinking something.
“Oh, Han Chasoo-ssi didn’t know.”
“What?”
“It’s already been talked about in the guild.”
What are you talking about? I looked up at him with anxious eyes, and Jung Yiheon said with a casual face.
“Items that could be helpful to Han Cha-soo… Therefore, we decided to deliver items with potion or recovery-related abilities immediately without registering them at auction if Han Cha-soo allows it.”
“What? Wait… Wait a minute. When did you decide that?”
What’s the matter with you. When I couldn’t hide my astonishment, Jung Yiheon blinked his eyes.
“I didn’t decide.”
“Then who the hell.”
“It’s a proposal that the guild members brought up first. To be exact, it was the opinion of Portion Manufacturing Team 1.”
A long-forgotten fact flashed through my mind.
Yeah, he was still an office worker.
In my mind, I had already left the company for a long time, so I forgot. Words of affection poured down on me, who had hardened.
“Anyway, most of the items in the free auction are donations or items left over from the raiders’ distribution, so it’s not like you have to pay to get them, it’s just an event, so why don’t we give them all to Han Cha-soo this time.”
It was a nuanced way of saying that it was a donation and leftovers, so don’t feel pressured to take them out, but it helped me understand what a free auction was all about.
‘That’s why it says win, not bid.’
By the way, I didn’t expect the first team of potion manufacturing to come forward for me. No, I didn’t even think about it.
‘I wonder if they’re waiting for me.’
My face became strange. Jung Yiheon waited silently for me, who seemed to be lost in thought for a while.
It wasn’t long before the silence broke.
“I’ll take it if necessary.”
“Really?”
Jung Yiheon smiled brightly. I nodded with a subtle look.
If this was an item given by Jung Yiheon himself, I wasn’t going to receive it. But a gift from the guild. That’s also a different story if it’s a surplus resource that others don’t have.
‘The situation is not good enough. You’d better take what you can get.’
It was different from the past. It is not a situation where I can run to the item trade association and buy items right away.
‘The belt and bracelet I bought last time were also broken. If your old enemy changes his mind and attacks you, you won’t be able to handle it alone.’
My A-rank armor was used up in the attack on Baekdam’s house, and it’s the only thing that kept my chest from being completely pierced.
‘If it was pierced, there would be more aftereffects than now.’
I rubbed my chest with a frown. Still, I would occasionally have a sour heart or beat twice abnormally hard.
There was nothing strange in the examination, so I had no choice but to think it was an aftereffect.
‘Ki Taeyeon also said he doesn’t feel anything weird.’
He didn’t look directly at it either. It is said that there is a high possibility of going wrong if he pours energy near the wound.
‘This will heal once the regeneration skill is back on track.’
I swept my head and looked at Jung Yiheon. He was talking to the medical staff who had just come in.
“I’m sorry. I’ve got a place to go right now, and I’ve just arrived, and I’m ashamed.”
He looked stiff as if he had received an urgent call. Of course, I didn’t care a bit about one move.
“Don’t mind me and go quickly. How many places are looking for the guild leader?”
Fearing that if I hesitated for even a moment, he would refuse to go, I hurriedly shooed Jung Yiheon away.
But something was weird. The man who should have gone out earlier was still hanging around the door.
“…….”
What is it again? I hung my shoulders and turned my head. I met his eyes which held a lot of hope.
And just like that, his thick arms embraced me. The body temperature was completely higher than that of ordinary people.
It happened so quickly that I realized what had happened only after the power that had stuck in my body disappeared.
“No, now. What is it?”
“…….”
Looking up, his face was in silence. The red eyes were shadowless.
[This boring time is over now]
For a moment, I remembered the man of my dreams. His expression was blank, his face unchanging. The image of Jung Yiheon giving up on his future after his brother’s death flashed through my mind.
Why all of a sudden?
I held his arm strong.
“Guild leader.”
“Oh.”
Soon there was a glow in the eyes that had been stunned.
“I’m sorry. I was thinking about something else for a second.”
Isighed with relief as I looked at the increasingly lively face. For a moment, I thought Jung Yiheon was letting go of his reason for no reason.
‘It’s a big deal if the main character becomes a psychopath again.’
Jeong Seoheon was saved, but the karma of the original Han Cha-soo still remained. The stolen guild internal information and items.
Despite all the fuss about being a benefactor, I didn’t think the situation would last.
It was one-sided trust and affection. Trust poured in without deep consideration just because I saved his younger brother. To me, it was like a sandcastle that was easily piled up.
‘Falling down will happen in a moment.’
Well, there was also a slight possibility that Jung Yiheon treated me as a benefactor for the rest of his life. However, it was not such a good environment to settle for such optimism.
I can’t live next to Jung Yiheon in fear of when I will be revealed in this lifetime.
So I couldn’t give up my resignation. That’s the only goal I’ve ever had since I realized I was possessed. Retiring without problems as soon as possible.
‘The problem is that there were many twists and turns in quitting….’
But it’s okay now. I dropped Geum Myeong-yeol, so if I recover my body and leave the medical center, it’s all over.
I was a little sorry for Jung Yiheon, who would suddenly lose his benefactor, but….
‘It would have been much better if we met in a different way.’
As much as I regretted not expecting more from him, Jung Yiheon was a good man, a trustworthy older brother, albeit a bit too much.
“Director Ki Tae-yeon’s contact therapy seems to be quite effective.”
A low voice disturbed my thoughts. When I looked up, Jung Yiheon was smiling and straightening his upper body. His hair in the sun looked dark brown.
He clasped and unclasped his hands as he locked eyes with me, who stood still and watched him.
‘It wasn’t an illusion that I felt then.’
Every time he touched Han Cha-soo, he felt a subtle sensation. A fluttering sensation, as if a boiling fire had been quenched from within.
