Relife Player 492
[Chapter 136]
[The Beginning of Love]
‘—The paths you and I are going to must be completely different.’
the way you want to go.
The path Seojin Baek wants to go.
Hi, what is the difference?
I couldn’t figure it out even after thinking about it for days and days.
What the hell...
did I get it wrong?
On this day, after training, Eunha locked herself in her room and was deep in thought.
Sitting with his back against the wall, he just stared blankly at the swords standing on the other side of the room.
‘What is your sword for?’
That day, Baek Seo-jin changed his tone, and the words he brought out float in my head.
In the previous life, Eunha said that her sword was for killing, whereas in this life, she said it was for protecting the fairy.
And I was sure.
Surely Baek Seo-jin would have the same mind as himself.
But his answer was different.
...You are a person who actively supports the fairy government.
The reason why Lim Ga-eul is recognized as a fairy is also because she is supported by living myths and teacher Baek Seo-jin.
There were three main reasons why the fairy reigned over the players.
One is that she has a gift of < Silver >.
One is that people support a fairy who can protect them as the head of state.
However, the living myths that can be called a distant wall for players and the players who support her are her power base.
That is why the fairy Lim Ga-eul was able to become the head of the country.
So it was hard to believe that Baek Seo-jin, who strongly supported her, did not affirm his answer.
Then... What was my answer?
In the end, Eunha came to the idea that maybe her answer misunderstood him.
For example, the answer Baek Seo-jin wanted from himself may not have been a ‘fairy girl’ but a sword to protect the ‘fairy government’.
Possibly, from the answer he gave out, Baek Seo-jin might have received the impression that he was a person who risked his life and death to protect only the fairies.
Well, that’s not entirely wrong.
It doesn’t matter how the world goes, as long as Baekryeon is happy.
For Baekryun to be happy, the fairy government must be in good health... but
Eunha leaned her head against the wall.
It’s been a thought I’ve been thinking about every day since that day.
It could also be said that it was the lingering feelings of a person who was expecting to receive an offer from Baek Seo-jin for < The Seed >.
I can’t help the past...
but it’s a pity.
Resentment and regret are emotions that dull a sword.
While Eun-ha decided to shake off her emotions, she decided to forget about not being Baek Seo-jin’s < The Sid >.
Even if he did not become < The Sid > anyway, the future he envisioned did not change.
I should stop sleeping now.
2nd semester is over.
It’s winter vacation starting tomorrow.
Eun-ha, who was going home early tomorrow morning, decided to stop sleeping.
It was when he climbed onto the bed.
huh?
When I was checking my smartphone before going to bed, I saw a PineTalk message from Jo Ara.
Does he taste it now?
He read the message she sent and burst into laughter.
「Joara」: Looking for Eunha Noh to go to the convenience store with me! (01:48 am)
☆
I don’t know since when.
Now that I have entered a high school academy, it feels quite old.
time past midnight.
Wearing a cardigan over her pajamas, Eunha left the dormitory and looked back on the year that was ending.
I happened to join him on a tour of his convenience store.
The weather is cold.
Eunha blew her white breath.
It seems that the trigger came from a time when I contacted Ara one day and brought up the story that cup noodles eaten in the middle of the night were delicious.
midnight one day.
Eun-ha, who was very hungry, visited the convenience store in the academy and called Jo A-ra half-jokingly.
At that time, she said that she had a hobby of visiting convenience stores in the middle of the night after she was impressed by cup noodles.
like today
-Why are you here so late? How long does it take to get from the dormitory to the convenience store?
Did this come on time too? It’s cold, but I’m waiting inside. Why are you waiting here?
I’ve been waiting to time your arrival. You said you always come late who else is that?
stand out
Ha... I don’t know if he’s my friend or my enemy.
A convenience store located not far from the academy dormitory.
Eun-ha approached Jo A-ra, who was sitting on a wooden chair in front of the convenience store and waiting.
Putting her hands in her hood pockets, she bruised him.
However, even if she bruised her bangs with a hair roll on, Eunha wasn’t scared at all.
It’s cold, so let’s go inside.
Of course, you know that the person who came late pays for gimbap, right? You... did you come to do this first and then call me?
The gimbap I ate before was delicious, so I ate it again a few days ago, but there is one that doesn’t taste that way, right?
so. So that’s when I realized. Ah, they say that the gimbap that I eat without paying my money is the most delicious.
Wow... so you want to eat me?
If you’re eating it, you’re saying you’re going to get late fees. And you have more money than me, you live in a better house, and you only have one line of gimbap, right?
...yes, choose what you want to eat.
thank you! Then I’ll eat well. Oh and next time I’ll live.
The 12 years of the solar calendar are coming to an end.
Eunha and Ara became so close that they lightly quarreled with each other.
Soon after, the two entered the convenience store and began to choose food to eat.
Then, Jo Ah-ra hesitated for a long time at the Cup Noodles corner.
Um...
you still haven’t picked one?
Yukgaejang and king lid. I’m thinking about which one would be better.
I worry about everything.
The sake is delicious.
So drink up
He got up from his seat and returned with a new calculation for Ara to drink.
If I was going to drink like this, I should have gone to the chicken and beer instead.... Chicken and beer? It’s okay. Shall we go second?
Eh? just the two of us?
Then who goes besides you and me? Who’s counting over there?
No, that’s not it
.... Drinking alone at this time is a bit much...
Then what are you drinking right now?
...alcohol.
So what’s the matter?
Uh...
if you feel burdened, just don’t. .......
Eunha speaks calmly.
Jo Ah-ra showed a conflict by constantly cracking the lid of a new beer can.
But the galaxy knew.
It’s been a year since I knew him and you still don’t know?
Joara always bounces once.
Then, after a few suggestions, he reluctantly pretends to get caught up in it.
just as expected.
Just... just one drink.
Did you do that when you first went to the convenience store with me? Mr. you!
Joara reacted.
Eunha smiled.
Deep inside, I vowed to make her drunk even if I forced her to drink.
It was then.
─Huh?
As he was about to organize his seat, he immediately checked the PineTalk message.
The messages in the group chat room where friends are gathered are piled up.
As always, it’s idle talk.
As he thoughtlessly scrolled down, he stopped his finger on a message.
huh? what’s the matter? ...Shall we have a year-end party? okay? It should be fun.
do you want to go too?
me? can i go too?
Are you still talking about that?
I can’t help but notice oh wait I also got a message from Eunwoo?
Let’s get together and eat and drink.
The words that Jinpa-rang brought out grew in scale and led to the opening of a year-end party for Noh Eun-ha and the students who were friendly with Noh Eun-ha.
☆
In Japan, the fall semester usually starts in October and ends in January of the following year.
As a result, Seohyun Han’s return to Korea was scheduled for mid-January of the following year.
Need to unpack already? You still have a long way to go.
Now that there are only two weeks left, I feel like I need to pack things up soon.
Still... I’m so sorry. Time seems to pass so quickly.
A hotel located in Ginza, Tokyo.
Han Seo-hyun, who had been on holiday for about a week during the year-end and New Year holidays, started organizing her luggage right away on the first day of the holiday.
Kaguya, who came to see her, had a puzzled look on her face.
I want to hold on to it like my heart.... How can I catch someone who has already left my heart.
Kaguya let out a sad sigh.
Only then did Seohyun Han look back at her and say thank you for being considerate while living in Japan.
If you’re grateful, come back later. Don’t let student Noh Eun-ha see a pretty face alone.
Kaguya said jokingly.
Seohyun laughed silently after hearing his name for the first time in a while.
Kaguya was bewildered.
It was because she knew that the only reason she was so eager to return to Korea was because of one man.
Are you excited about meeting Noh Eun-ha? It’s not.
What’s not... It’s already showing up on your face, so what?
Kaguya teases.
Seohyun Han, who would have been tired and annoyed before, only responded with a smile.
Then Kaguya grumbled, saying that it was not fun.
...It’s snowing.
Huh? Really.
then then
Seohyun Han inadvertently turned her head.
Snow is falling outside the window.
After finishing packing, she went to the window and looked at the snow falling from the black night sky.
Then I lowered my gaze and looked out at the city at night.
.......
pitch black night.
white snow.
sparkling city.
beautiful.
Seohyun Han tried to capture the night view of Japan, which she would probably never see again.
Then, all of a sudden, I had a thought.
It would be prettier with ...
It is a beautiful night view.
A night view that is beautiful when seen alone will surely look even more beautiful when seen with someone else.
And especially if the other person likes it.
─I want to go back soon.
I want to go back soon.
I want to go back and see you soon.
Seohyun Han exhaled the winter air and recited her heart.
The time in Japan is now 2 weeks.
She felt that two weeks seemed too long.
I hope that time will come soon.
When that time comes—
──
Pleasant memories pass by.
Han Seo-hyun licked her lips and savored the memories one by one.
So the end of the year approaches.
