I Picked Up the Hero and the Demon King

18 – A New Beginning (4)

Meanwhile, the time Lee Seo-jin left.

The sisters were resting inside the house.

But, as if recalling shameful memories, both twisted, rolled, and twisted their bodies, not knowing what to do.

The cause was none other than yesterday’s obsession with Seojin Lee.

“Hauuu… Why. Why did you do that? Seo Eun-ah?”

“Don’t ask. Sister… I’m ashamed too…”

Her original sister thought nothing of Lee Seo-jin talking to Han Soo-jung on the phone.

Because she doesn’t hate, doesn’t hate, doesn’t leave, and promises to always be by her side.

Because of the invisible faith firmly settled in her sister’s heart.

Hearing a woman’s voice and seeing Lee Seo-jin laughing happily and happily talking on the phone with another woman, her mind and thoughts changed in an instant as if she were being controlled.

That wasn’t enough, so he even used her group to sleep together like a child.

When she came to her senses and looked back at the past, it was early morning and it had already been a while.

“Are we actually really ugly? Maybe that’s why we’re so jealous?”

“That. You can do something like that. Unni. She’s never met a nice person like Mr. Seojin… So I shouldn’t say that.”

“Yeah… that’s right.”

“…Yes! In fact, it might be because of our possessive constitution! Suddenly, a ghost that was not in a relationship clings to you and treats you like that!”

“That. Is that so? Seo-eun seems to have a point in what you say.”

She was possessed. She was manipulated In fact, she has a hidden second personality, etc…

All kinds of hypotheses and speculations are rampant, and they tried to find justification and causes for their actions, but they couldn’t find them.

She eventually came to the conclusion that ‘Let’s act as if nothing happened’ at the end.

We tried to stop the conversation with awkward laughter, but… It was an absurd answer, so I went back to the starting point.

In a way, it was unavoidable.

Throughout her life, she has had no opportunity to express her emotions, and no one to do so.

Above all, it was difficult to realize profound emotions such as obsession and attachment to the sisters who have only recently begun to realize that they are emotions.

“…hahahaha. What should I do? I’ll continue to spend with you from now on…”

“…Let’s refrain as much as possible, sister. So that it doesn’t happen again.”

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

Are you so unrestrained, rude, and interrogative?

Absolutely not, her sister concluded as much as this one.

Looking back on her life, she defined herself as saying that there was no reason for that at all.

The sisters made a prediction and confirmation that if they were curious when they saw it objectively, they would carefully ask who it was and talk slowly to get to know them.

The reality is, strangely, as soon as he saw that Lee Seo-jin was involved with another woman, he reacted violently.

She was afraid that she might have bought her hatred because of it.

“…Mister, you don’t hate us, do you?”

“…I don’t think so. You’re a good man.”

“…Isn’t it?”

“…Yes. I will.”

Despondent, the sister stretched her body weakly.

Please, because of yesterday, she waited for Lee Seo-jin to come, praying that she would not be hated by her.

How long did she wait like that?

When Lee Seo-jin returned, she was worried, but she greeted her with a welcome voice.

“You’re here, man—”

“Your uncle is here—”

But the moment they came in, the sisters hardened again.

Empty but full of emotions… With a kind of dead eye, he changed as if a switch had been pressed.

There was no particular reason.

I don’t know what happened, but as she came in, she saw Lee Seo-jin talking back and forth with embarrassment.

The reason was that he recognized that she was definitely Han Soo-jung, the woman he spoke on the phone with yesterday.

※

As soon as I heard Han Soo-jung’s loud voice, I froze.

“…Huh?”

I stared blankly in embarrassment for a moment.

What did I just hear?

Dating… I think I said let’s do it.

It was December 25th, Christmas, the day of lovers.

St. No way… This is go-

“Ah… ah!!! No. I didn’t speak well!!! It was just a story about meeting together!!!”

It’s not a bag.

Lee Seo-jin was a little disappointed when he saw Han Su-jeong, who was shy and answered in a hurry.

She almost lived alone in her previous life from the beginning, and the part about her love affair was that he had lived all the time as a bad person, so she quickly brushed it off and forgot about it.

“Ah… that’s what you meant. I thought it was a confession again.”

“Go. Confession?!”

“I expected it because it was a confession from a popular junior. Why not?”

Han Soo-jung was taken aback by her completely unexpected words, but her face blushed.

She immediately shook her head vigorously to shake off her shyness, then answered with the utmost seriousness.

Of course, I couldn’t help but notice her pleasant side and a little bit of shyness.

“What is go.Go. Confession! What do you confess to someone like your senior? I have no confession to say to an old man with a shaggy beard~?”

“Ugh… Hey. Isn’t that too realistic?”

“Huh. Heh. What to do. It’s true.”

Han Soo-jung clicked her tongue as she looked sideways at Lee Seo-jin, who was slightly depressed by her irrefutable words.

Then, helplessly, she shook her head and spoke to her with a confident smile.

“So let’s meet and do something about that beard.”

“Huh? Meeting you?”

“Yes. There is a shop I am familiar with. It not only takes care of it professionally, but also has clothes inside, so they do a fitting.”

“…Usually models go to places like that, isn’t it? Can a guy like me go?”

She was a little puzzled, and when Lee Seo-jin asked a question, she suddenly couldn’t think of anything to answer, so Han Su-jeong froze.

She came up with as much as she could, then answered in a hurry.

“Ah.Ah! That’s true! Heroes go there too. Besides, I’m another networker, right?”

“Is that so?”

“I did!”

As she thought about it for the first time, she vaguely recalled that she liked Han Su-jeong’s family.

What was it? What company… I thought it was running

But she still didn’t know what kind of business she was running.

What. Where is not a private small business?

In the meantime, Han Soo-jung has never deliberately flaunted or boasted while wearing luxury items.

“What are those eyes? Are you suspicious?”

“Huh? Ah. No! It can’t be. I just thought about it for a second.”

“Hmm… well. Okay. Trust me.”

I was blankly thinking about something else for a while, and Han Su-jeong narrowed her eyes and looked at me.

She hurriedly replied with a smile, and she pouted, pouting her mouth slightly, as if her feelings were a little offended.

He turned around and then turned around and pointed at me as if declaring.

“Anyway! I know you made an appointment like that and I’ll prepare it, so please come!”

“Uhhh… Ok.”

“Ah. Also, don’t come dressed casually! It’s a place to dress up, so dress well!”

“Yes.”

Wouldn’t it be okay to come dressed casually if it’s a place that usually decorates… I almost asked, but I held back.

Listen for nothing.

Anyway, in my previous life, I had never made a personal appointment like this.

I made up my mind to return and change, so things like this happen.

It’s a personal promise… It’s good.

… But why do I keep thinking of dating in the back of my mind?

Did you mention dating?

I said see you for Christmas?

You said you wanted to see it alone?

No way… Han Soo-jung is me?

“I think it’s strange again. It’s a habit.”

I shook my head vigorously, trying to shake it off.

It’s one of the common male delusions.

I knew very well that it wasn’t, but why?

My heart was pounding for no reason and I was getting nervous.

※

I was Lee Seo-jin, who had never been in a relationship in my life.

A lot has happened since the return.

I tried to shake it off easily, but I couldn’t shake it until the moment I got home.

In the end, he was the one who showed his unsightly side to his sister while repeating what he thought.

“Hmm. Loud! Hmmm! Hmm… Huh?”

Coughing for a long time, the real Lee Seo-jin suddenly caught a cold gaze.

When I looked around her, there were sisters looking this way with the same eyes as yesterday.

Feeling a sense of crisis, Lee Seo-jin cautiously asked with an awkward smile.

“Uh… Sua… Hey? Seo Eun-ah?”

“…Yes? Why are you doing that, Mr. Seojin?”

“Why are you calling me, mister?”

Since yesterday, the three of them decided to call each other by their first names.

It was Lee Seo-jin who felt like he had to put ‘nim’ at the end.

I didn’t want to go through the atmosphere again like yesterday, if I touch it wrongly, it would be a big deal, so I hurriedly changed the atmosphere.

“Uh… Did I do something wrong…? Is it because I went out without saying a word in the morning? I wish I could relax a little…”

“”… !””

Then her sister came to her senses with a flash like a person whose soul had gone out and returned.

She apologized again, blaming herself for almost repeating yesterday’s mistake.

“Sin. I’m sorry, mister. I think I’m changing for some reason… Could it be a disease?”

“Like you said, something bad happened to us…”

Although they were sisters who asked Lee Seo-jin with eyes hoping for an answer from her.

Even if you ask someone who can’t even see her own love, she won’t know.

“Ummm…Well…?”

“You don’t even know…”

“We have no choice but to try our best…”

“You. Don’t be too downhearted. It’s okay to look like that.”

When her sister was depressed, Lee Seo-jin hurriedly comforted them and entered her house.

She disappeared quickly, and there were speculations that the defense might have been created after going through unfortunate times.

Of course she wasn’t, but she didn’t know much about her feelings because Lee Seo-jin was also a person who lived insensitively.

“By the way, Mister. Why are you in such a good mood?”

“Huh? Do I look like that?”

“Yes. Very.”

“Ah… Ahahahaha. It’s nothing special. How can I say it… I made an appointment to meet Han Soo-jung for the first time?”

Pajik─

It almost changed again, but this time the sisters were able to control it.

Instead, I sat side by side on both sides of Lee Seo-jin, who was sitting on the sofa, with an unwanted smile on his face.

Lee Seo-jin felt embarrassed when he received the slightly burdensome gaze.

“Hmm… I see.”

“I see.”

“Yeah. But why are you looking at me like that…?”

“Huh? We? What?”

“What kind of gaze?”

“…Ah. No.”

Lee Seo-jin instinctively predicted that he shouldn’t say more as he slyly tilted his head.

Seeing him like that, her sister, who smiled even more brightly, started asking questions slowly.

“Hey Mister, but what is that promise?”

“That’s right. I’m curious. Can you tell me?”

“Huh? Uh… There’s nothing I can’t tell you. Nothing special. Just—”

After that, they were sisters who listened to stories and made plans.

※

December 25 Christmas.

Many people came and went on the streets for their own reasons.

In particular, this Christmas could be said to be special, because it was a white Christmas.

“Haa… It’s cold. When will you come, senpai?”

On a snowy street, Han Soo-jung looked up at the sky.

It was darker than usual because it was a cloudy sky, not a clear sky, but it was beautiful because it snowed.

I was hoping that today would be a meaningful day.

Of course, what should Lee Seo-jin do?

“Really. He’s a senior who doesn’t understand the concept of time. Well… It’s changed recently, so I’ll understand.”

A chilly wind.

Beautiful falling snow.

It was the perfect weather to reminisce when people were alone, and it was the weather that made them miss the warmth of others.

Han Su-jeong thought.

About Seojin Lee before he changed.

‘Don’t nag and go away.’

‘Get some rest? Will you be strong then? No! It will only weaken you!’

‘Noisy! I’ll take care of it!’

A person who didn’t take care of himself, lived in the training ground like he was dying, and was teased and insulted for wielding a sword.

However, he showed a strong will as if he didn’t care at all.

A person who ignored me even if I cared about him.

But he was a warm person who went out of his way to protect the other person everyone cursed at.

“Whoops…”

As she was reminiscing about the past, a smile appeared on Sujeong Han’s lips.

How long did you wait?

“Haa… Haa… Hey. I’m sorry.”

Lee Seo-jin, exhaling heavily and apologizing, was in front of my eyes before I knew it.

“…What is it? Making me wait 10 minutes. Do you know how cold it is standing in this weather?”

“No. It’s Christmas today, so I took a bus instead of a car. But the bus was also blocked.”

“So you ran?”

“Yes. I got off 5 stops behind and ran back. It’s okay! I guess I just did some exercise.”

No matter how superhuman you are, running 5 stops is not easy and you will be very tired.

Besides, it seemed like he was running at full speed, but he was trying to look normal.

As soon as she vaguely noticed that the reason was for herself, a bashful smile appeared on Sujeong Han’s lips.

“Well… I’ll take a look.”

“Haa… thank you.”

“Instead, then—”

Lee Seo-jin answered with a smile, and Han Su-jeong sneaked to the side.

She crossed her arms and pointed to a department store towering not far away.

“Huh. Huh?”

“What are you so flustered about? With arms crossed. Close friends can do this much, right?”

“Ah. No what. That’s…”

When Lee Seo-jin was shy and couldn’t look away, Han Su-jeong smiled broadly and pulled her arm.

“Let’s go! It’s cold, so I want to go inside.”

“Huh? Uh… that. Yeah.”

Lee Seo-jin said, ‘That’s right. It’s no big deal,’ she said, and quickly regained her composure.

In that way, the two headed for the department store, arm in arm, like a loving couple at first glance.

But they didn’t know.

That there is a sister who has thoroughly planned and followed.
