I Became an S-Class Childhood Friend

32. A soft bed for falling tears

32.

“Oh.. it’s been a while. Yoo Ha-yeon.”

A childhood friend I met after a long time.

Reuniting with her was the worst.

“what are you doing..?”

Cool air.

A dead eye whose focus is unknown.

Heavy atmosphere.

In that situation, Banhana made a whining sound without noticing.

“Shi-jun.. Move away.. It’s heavy..”

A situation in which half Hana’s fragile body was lying under me.

This situation is an attitude that causes misunderstanding by anyone who sees it.

With Banhana’s voice, the atmosphere became even heavier.

Yoo Ha-yeon muttered a little.

“I never dreamed that during the week I had a hard time, Sijun would turn into a person who attacks women.”

“No, that’s not it…”

It seems that Yoo Ha-yeon’s brain has already accepted this situation as the truth.

No, more than that.

‘If the guardian is coming, why did Yoo Ha-yeon come?’

If my parents had come in the first place, would there have been a bigger problem?

It might be better to show this attitude to Yoo Ha-yeon than to show it to my parents.

Leave your thoughts behind and explain.

Let’s start with the explanation.

No matter how much I thought about it, the misunderstanding had to be resolved unconditionally.

“Ji.. Calm down, Ha Yeon-ah. It’s not what you think it is!”

“..no?”

“Yeah! You really must be wrong! You’re wrong!”

I looked into Yoo Ha-yeon’s dead eyes and proceeded to explain.

A description of a person named Banhana and a detailed description of how she ran and fell.

Ha-yeon Yoo listened to such an explanation without moving.

And when the explanation is all over.

Her hazy black eyes stared at me.

“So, you’re saying it wasn’t because you wanted it, but ‘accidentally’ fell when I came in, ‘accidentally’ fell on that woman and ‘accidentally’ embraced it?”

“…”

It is said that successive coincidences are inevitable.

Damn fate.

I could no longer argue against Yoo Ha-yeon, who emphasized multiple coincidences.

“Ah… it hurts…”

Banhana sat down on the chair again, making a sound of pain.

I also sat on a chair and sat still while the interrogator came.

“…”

Received the gaze of Yoo Ha-yeon, who was staring at me as if to kill me.

For that moment, it seemed that Black Dawn’s hideout was more comfortable.

Time to be so quiet.

The interrogator who had left has returned.

He asked me as if feeling a strange atmosphere.

“Why is the atmosphere like this. What happened?”

“No. Nothing happened.”

Really.

Nothing happened.

“hehehe… I’m older…”

There was no one who would believe it, except for half a person with a bright expression on her face.

***

After about 10 hours.

The time when the sun rises to signal that morning has come.

Because it passed multiple cross-validations to a consistent statement.

The Heroes’ Alliance decided that there was an accusation against me, but there was no way to prove it.

“..we are watching you all the time. Be aware of that.”

“Yes. Thank you. Interrogator.”

“Thanks for your efforts..”

Banhana nodded her head with a sleepy body.

The interrogation was longer than expected, so her body and mind would be exhausted.

‘I’m too tired to die…’

Even if he lost his mind, it wasn’t strange at all.

The reason I was barely able to survive depended on the core of the Manastone Golem.

Blue stone

A magic stone golem’s technique that transforms the golem’s core into magical power.

‘balance. Using the magical power of the core of the golem, it demands recovery of stamina.’

When I was getting more and more sleepy, I used my balance to restore my stamina.

It’s like caffeine in coffee.

Unlike Banhana, this was the reason why I was alive.

“But, you still won’t talk to me?”

“…”

Yoo Ha-yeon.

She also waited 10 hours for my interrogation to end.

‘pervert. low quality. It’s because of your parents. Don’t get me wrong.”

Yoo Ha-yeon, who waited in the interrogation room, said she had no face to see my parents.

She was quite upset over the disappointment of being reunited with me.

“..because it’s a misunderstanding. You don’t believe me?”

“You have to act credibly to believe. There are a lot of topics hidden from me. Don’t talk to me.”

It’s tight.

If you didn’t get rid of the protrusion, the week seemed to go by easily.

‘Well, I understand.’

He hid his relationship with Han Yu-wol from Yoo Ha-yeon.

A new half-hana being appeared.

And the bitter taste of reunion.

It was the worst reunion for Yoo Ha-yeon, who had been suffering for a week.

Her mind was completely understandable.

‘It’s not good if the misunderstanding deepens. I’ll have to release it today.’

Thinking like that, the moment I came out of the Heroes Union building.

Countless lights blinded me.

“Han Si-jun!! You came back from being kidnapped by a villain, how do you feel!!?”

“Black Dawn! Is the rumor about Han Yu-wol who eats people true!!?”

“Please tell me what you think!! Han Si-jun!!”

Click. click.

The lights lit up with the sound of the camera shutter, and people who looked like reporters pointed their microphones at me.

Unexpected situation.

Who could expect to be surrounded by crowds as soon as they step out of the building?

I let out a small word in embarrassment.

“Mmm… are you not crazy?”

“Sijun. It’s dazzling..”

How did you hear that I was rescued?

Each of them asked me what happened, and what kind of existence Black Dawn was.

‘I can’t even explain it to Yoo Ha-yeon, what should I explain to you guys?’

No need to say

I immediately covered my face and tried to leave.

“One. Let’s go.”

“Where are you going, Si-Jun Han? Are you going back to the academy!?”

“Do you have anything to say about the academy’s security!? Please say something!!”

It’s tenacious.

Reporters constantly holding cameras.

They somehow wanted to hear my answer.

Their purpose was obvious, so I didn’t say anything.

‘Whatever I say, I’ll let them go as they please.’

Not all reporters do, but most take the title provocatively.

It applies not only to journalists, but to all parts of the world.

Still, the academy’s image is not good, but the image can’t be reduced even in Korea.

Such an annoying situation.

Next to me, I heard a sound of magical energy.

“Disappear. Invisible.”

A strange magical power penetrated Banhana and me.

“Huh? Where have you been? You must have been here…?”

“What… what?”

Reporters looking around without seeing us even though they were clearly in front of us.

As if our existence had suddenly disappeared, they could not see us.

There is only one person who can create such a situation.

Only Yoo Ha-yeon was possible.

“Sijun. That girl is strong.”

Banhana felt Yoo Ha-yeon’s enormous magical power, so she woke up and warned her.

Ha-yeon Yoo, who created such a situation, walked in front of us as if nothing had happened.

“It’s never for you. You fool. Just follow me.”

Yoo Ha-yeon dyed her ears red, saying it wasn’t for me.

She just looked shy.

‘It’s embarrassing.’

I walked alone between the long black hair, looking at Yoo Ha-yeon’s ears that were shining red.

The voices of the reporters faded away, and they arrived at a space where a medium-sized car was parked.

Outside, there was a woman with a familiar appearance.

“Teacher?”

“He said he took us to the academy. Even that little girl.”

Ha-yeon Yoo, who strengthens her pronunciation in small words.

She didn’t seem to like the class yet.

When Ha-yeon Yu snapped her fingers and made a popping sound, my homeroom teacher, Shin Si-hwa, recognized us.

Seeing that I have returned safely, Shin Shi-hwa puts a happy expression on her face.

As Shin Shi-hwa approached the parked car, she said to me with a thrilled expression.

“Are you okay? No injuries? There’s not much time left…”

“Go fast! Teacher! I’m tired and I’m having a hard time!”

As soon as he stopped talking, Shin Si-hwa glanced at Yoo Ha-yeon with a look of disappointment.

Why the hell do I have so many places to clear my misunderstandings?

“ha..”

I sighed and got into Shin Si-hwa’s car.

The seat is in the front.

In the back seat is Yoo Ha-yeon and half-hana.

“…”

“…”

I was finally able to return to the academy, looking at the two awkwardly in the rearview mirror.

***

“Are you saying you want to go to school?”

“Yeah! I’m good at fighting! I’ve never done it before, but I’m good at it!”

On the way to the academy, Banhana shouted that she wanted to be admitted unconditionally.

Shin Shi-hwa was a little embarrassed by her words, but unexpectedly said that half a class might be accepted.

“Now that I’m tired, I have to take a break, then I have to properly identify myself and check if I exceed the standard. Instead, in the case of mid-term admission, I have to get a higher score than the standard.”

“It doesn’t matter! I’m going to school!”

“Ah.. the head..”

A classmate who wants to be admitted because of ignorance.

Shin Shi-hwa, feeling a little dizzy by it, touched his temple with his finger.

She made a look like, ‘How are you doing with him?’ and took Banhana with her.

Banhana had a slightly anxious expression on her face, but when she said, ‘I’ll see you in a little bit’, I bravely followed Shin Shihwa.

“Hold on a second! Sijun! Next time we see you, be respectful! Okay!?”

“…”

Without saying anything, I waved my hand and saw her off with a smile.

Anyway, it’s a little bit of respect.

After those two left, the remaining members were me and Ha-yeon Yoo.

I also ended up with Yoo Ha-yeon, who was very upset with me.

As if the direction had been decided, we just walked.

“Are you still sprained?”

“I’m not mad, I’m angry.”

“So, are you still mad?”

In a pun to relieve the atmosphere, Yoo Ha-yeon stared at me with a smirk.

Eyes mixed with a little smoke.

Seeing the tremors under her eyes, she was intentionally giving her strength.

It was telling us that Yoo Ha-yeon was in the middle of acting out.

‘How long have you been with him?’

Even if Ha-yeon Yoo didn’t say it, I knew it.

And that was also true for Yoo Ha-yeon.

“Idiot. I get kidnapped, get weak, and fall for it…”

Yoo Ha-yeon, whose anger disappeared like snow.

She patted my chest and groaned.

“What is that woman…! I haven’t seen you in a long time. It was a touching reunion… Seeing…”

“..I’m sick. Am I going to die?”

Should I use the Golem’s Core?

Yoo Ha-yeon’s fist baptism was getting stronger.

“Stupid. Stupid. Weak. Pervert!”

Using all kinds of words, Yoo Ha-yeon beat me down.

But the voice gradually changed to a voice directed at her.

“An idiot who can’t even protect his precious things. An idiot who stands still. A weakling who hasn’t done anything..”

Falling tears.

Even though I had strong power, not being able to protect me seemed to be a feeling of guilt for Yoo Ha-yeon.

No need to feel guilty.

Yoo Ha-yeon did nothing wrong at all.

Now is the time to shout ‘..I’m back.’

But childhood friends are similar.

Not being honest with the current situation, I joked with Yoo Ha-yeon to change the mood.

“So, why didn’t you protect me?”

A joke mixed with laughter.

Such an unreasonable appearance of me.

Conversely, the one who came out honestly was closer to Yoo Ha-yeon.

“From now on, I will protect you. Don’t let anyone take it away.”

Yoo Ha-yeon hugs me tightly as if she’s not going to give it to anyone.

“You can’t go anywhere without my permission. I’ll protect you.”

Yoo Ha-yeon mumbles unfamiliar words.

I hugged Yoo Ha-yeon quietly.

It was the moment when the long and long case of being kidnapped by a villain came to an end…

…

“But what’s with that girl?”

“..friend?”

Because the situation cannot be described with the word ‘accident’.

Unfortunately, the stigma that I was a pervert could not be washed away.
