Chapter 59: The Heavenly Death Star Of Chilgok County (2)

Cheon Sohee arrived at the inn first, moving too swiftly for Kang Yun-ho to keep up.

Youre a bit late today!

A particularly amiable Jeom So-i at the inn greeted the Heavenly Death Star.

Yeah.

You must have had a great performance today! Of course! Mr. Kang is such a talented storyteller, I even want to listen every day!

In fact, Jeom So-i was an ardent fan of Kang Yun-ho. She always claimed she would attend his performances on her days off.

It went well.

Kang Yun-ho might have been warmer with Jeom So-i, attempting to coax something extra, but she wasnt that sort of person, and her mood was sour, so she responded with irritation.

Then, shall I prepare the ros tteokbokki in advance?

No, not today.

Cheon Sohee paused briefly before declining.

Why?

Jeom So-i was taken aback, her eyes growing wide. The guests refusal of ros tteokbokki was unforeseen. Though always stoic, her demeanor shifted when faced with that dish.

I dont feel like it.

The dish that could spark even the latent cravings of the Heavenly Death Star held no allure for her at that moment.

There must be something wrong! Alright then! But please take this. Someone asked me to give it to you.

Jeom So-i handed over a small note. Cheon Sohee recognized its origin at a glance.

Okay.

If you change your mind, Ill prepare it right away!

Why was she so convinced she would order it? Cheon Sohee mused, yet Jeom So-i, unaware of her internal dialogue, promptly attended to another guest.

Cheon Sohee retreated to a corner of the inn to examine the note.

[New mission. Proceed to the branch.]

Cheon Sohee reflected on the notes message. It didnt seem pressing, so she could go at her convenience. Nonetheless, she opted to leave.

She had claimed her departure was due to annoyance, but ultimately, Kang Yun-ho would arrive at this inn too. After all, they had no other place to go.

Cheon Sohee chose to visit the branch of Salmaek instead of enduring the awkward gaze of a man at the inn who watched her every move.



Chilgok Countys Salmaek Secret Branch.

Im here.

Cheon Sohee had opted to come here rather than return to the inn where the man she stayed with resided.

Ah! Youre here. Hows the love affair going?

The middle-aged male head of the Salmaek branch greeted her with a smile.

I told you its not that kind of relationship.

Stop being so murderous as soon as you arrive. Its a wonder how that man is even dating such a woman.

You

Anhui Province. Jeongdeok.

The man quickly shifted the topic upon seeing Cheon Sohees expression sour.

Anhui Province. Jeongdeok?

Closer than Kangseo Province, which was mentioned last time. It was the closest other province () from Hubei Provinces Chilgok County. Yet, the distance was still considerable.

Would he give up his successful performances to follow her to Anhui Province? What if he suggested they break up if she asked him to go to Anhui Province?

Ill pass on this mission too.

In the end, Cheon Sohee decided to decline this mission as well.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Huh. Well, its your call. Arent you nearing a dangerous stage?

The middle-aged man gestured to his heart with five fingers, shaking them dramatically.

The idea that Kang Yun-ho could be tired of her was shocking, and Cheon Sohee momentarily struggled to make sense of it.

Ah! So, he always accepted whatever you said, but you got sulky over his mistake!

Cheon Sohee bowed her head, neither confirming nor denying his words.

Thats why love novices Go and pretend to generously accept the mans mistake. Then things will quickly improve.

It was a big mistake.

Enough to never want to see him again?

Not that much.

Her response came without a moments hesitation.

See. I told you. He seems important enough for you to refuse a mission for him. If youre going to receive love, you need to give it too. If you only take and never give, that man might leave.

Leave?

Cheon Sohee repeated his words with a hint of anxiety.

He will. So, if its not a deadly sin, go and forgive him. Hold his hand, buy him his favorite food. If you treat him well after he makes a mistake, hell be moved.

Forgiveness

Cheon Sohee reflected on Kang Yun-hos mistake.

Did he really err?

Yes, he did. But she also might have done things that upset Kang Yun-ho, as the Salmaek branch leader had said.

Did he ever get angry with her over those?

Sohee!

I trust you, Sohee.

The affectionate face of the man who always smiled at her came to mind.

Had Kang Yun-ho intentionally insulted her mother?

No, he didnt know her mothers name. He had referred to her simply as Sohees mother before.

Then why had he called the name old-fashioned?

For her sake. To keep her from facing difficulty.

Was there any reason not to forgive him?

Suddenly, Cheon Sohee imagined Kang Yun-ho waiting in the room with a lifeless expression, feeling remorseful. She realized she didnt want to see him like that. In fact, she couldnt bear it, which was why she had come.

Would he smile affectionately at her if she told him she forgave him?

Ill go.

She longed to see that face.

The anger that had taken root in her heart was gone.

Wait, take this!

The man tossed her a pouch.

Whats this?

Mission fee. Its overdue, but take it and buy something nice for your boyfriend.

Cheon Sohee nodded distractedly as she glanced at the money in the pouch, half-listening to the man.

Ill go.

She exited the branch at once.

After Cheon Sohee had left, the man quietly took out a letter from a corner of the drawer.

[If it looks like a promising relationship, be sure to support it.]

She vowed never to become emotionally involved with a disciple Quite meddlesome. But considering every disciple shes trained has come back as a corpse, its understandable.

Having affection for a disciple was rare in Salmaek. The middle-aged man started drafting a letter to Cheon Sohees master with a wry smile.
