77 – The long-awaited phone call

-Swipe.

Today, as usual, I left the training ground and moved my body hard.

The reason for this is simple.

To survive.

I thought I was stronger now as I climbed over the barriers one by one, but that was a huge arrogance.

If it wasn’t for Han Yu-ra, I would have died there.

Betrayed by the person you trusted more than anyone else.

However, that person eventually died miserably and owed his life to the person he hated the most.

But what’s even sadder than that is that I can no longer trust people.

Han Yu-ra, who was reluctant to tell me just before she died, said that it was what Kim Ji-su was trying to convey to me and the cruel truth.

I said that the stories are secrets related to Sujeongi, the person I love and cherish the most.

I feel happy and happy when I meet Sujeong, perhaps because I care about that, but on the other side of my heart, I keep thinking that I want to openly ask what he is hiding.

But it can’t be, I just believe in the words of the two who betrayed me, and saying that is not courtesy toward a person before a lover.

And if the person you need to trust and understand more than anyone else is your lover, how can you carelessly ask?

If so, Han Yu-ra might ask back that she should just ignore whatever she says.

But it’s already the second time.

From Han Yu-ra to Kim Ji-soo.

The feeling of just in case won’t go away.

Even if you try to ignore this piece of doubt once formed, it will only continue to grow.

So I keep waiting for a call from Han Yu-ra.

She thinks that because of that, she won’t be able to face Sujeong with a confident face.

She always goes home by the time her midnight is over, so she arrives early in the morning like every day.

At first, Soo-jung seemed to be training too hard, so she put on a worried face and seemed to stop her, but after that, she didn’t come to visit me anymore, probably because she thought I’d let her do it until she felt comfortable.

Actually, she felt better about it.

From the point of view of trying to get rid of miscellaneous thoughts while getting a good night’s sleep by making the body tired under the pretext of being strong.

I just hope that Han Yu-ra will contact me so that I can put an end to this anxious mind.

After hearing what kind of secret it is, if it’s not a big deal, I want to confidently tell Sujeong and apologize honestly.

But I don’t think I’ll be contacted today.

– Plopped.

“I can’t do this anymore….”

I threw my exhausted, motionless body onto the training ground and lay down.

The weather is chilly near midnight now, so I can feel the slight heat rising from the floor to keep me from getting cold.

I feel drowsy even though I’m drenched in sweat, and if I close my eyes like this, I’m in a state where I’m going to fall asleep right away.

However, if I fell asleep here, I would be stretched out without being able to do anything tomorrow, so I forcibly lifted my heavy body up.

“Ugh.”

Maybe it’s because she’s been carelessly rolling her body since she was a child, but even just standing up, sounds come out of her mouth.

I didn’t know why hunters who had been rolling on the floor for a long time in their early 20s would groan when they just stood up after sitting down, but now I understand.

Of course, if I said I understood at my age, I would be laughed at.

“I really need to go….”

I feel like I won’t be able to go home after I’ve been hanging around here, so I’m going straight to the shower, but my phone suddenly rings.

I checked my phone to see if it was Sujeong since it was late and there was nowhere else to call.

Unexpectedly, however, the number on the phone is completely unknown.

At that moment, I thought that it might be Han Yu-ra, so I quickly answered the phone.

[Hyeonwoo Han, you bastard! You cheated on me, but you say that I crossed my legs? Are you a human child?]

A drunk woman’s voice heard as soon as she answered the phone.

It must have been the wrong call.

Her tense mind disappeared in an instant, and she spoke in vain.

“Excuse me, but I think you dialed the wrong number.”

[What are you saying, madman! Isn’t it 010-XXXX-1239?]

“It’s 1238….”

The opponent quickly became quiet at those words.

Then suddenly the sound of the phone being cut is heard.

“hahahaha… “

I laughed out loud at the absurd situation, and after calling again to ask for an apology, I decided to pass it on.

Looks like you’ve been drinking and it looks like you’re having a hard time.

“Whew….”

I let out a small sigh and was about to head back to the shower, but the phone rang again.

This time, it was an unknown number.

Again, I answered the phone with my mind empty, thinking that it might be the wrong call.

“Yes, this is Wonwoo Lee.”

[It’s me.]

I heard a familiar voice even without saying his name.

It’s the voice I hate to hear the most, but ironically, it’s Han Yu-ra’s voice that I’ve been waiting for so long.

“Oh, I know.”

[Can you come out now?]

[Come out right away at this time?]

When she asked if she was suspicious about calling at midnight, Yura Han said as if it were natural.

[Yes. There is no time for anyone other than me to prove it.]

“Yes… ?”

She felt reluctant and thought about refusing, but she decided to do as she was told, thinking that if she wanted to kill me anyway, she would have left me alone while Kim Ji-soo was around.

“Okay. Instead, I’m sweating a lot right now, so I have to take a shower, so it’ll take longer.”

[It doesn’t matter. Instead, we’ll decide where to meet.]

“Something like that.”

Then it gets quiet for a while, and then the voice of Han Yu-ra, who is talking to someone, is heard softly.

[The place is in front of the Hyeonil Tower. Do you know where?]

This is the place where I boarded the portal to go to the Assassination Guild this time.

It is also the place where Kim Ji-soo’s dirty mind was revealed.

“… Uh. Know.”

When I suddenly thought of Kim Ji-soo, I replied late with a slightly hushed voice, probably because I still had a heavy heart.

Han Yu-ra said as if she noticed that.

[How long are you in pain thinking about the b*tch who cheated on you?]

“Even if those words came out of your mouth, nothing would comfort you, so shut up.”

[…] Maybe so]

I felt strange about Han Yoo-ra, who speaks sadly while acknowledging my harsh opposition to her, but she doesn’t particularly sympathize with me.

It’s nothing compared to the treatment and humiliation I’ve been through.

“Let’s see it in front of Hyunil Tower in an hour. I’ll hang up.”

There’s no way a good sound would come out if I tried talking on the phone here, so I hung up the phone after saying it as if I was notifying you.

Then, I headed for the shower, thinking that the questions I had kept in my mind would finally be resolved.

*

“Where are you?”

She arrives in front of Hyeonil Tower, but Han Yoo-ra is nowhere to be seen.

As if no one was passing by, only the chilled air enveloped her body.

I was looking left and right, wondering when he would come, but the phone rang again.

That number was before.

She quickly answered the phone and asked in an annoyed voice.

“Hey, where are you?”

[It’s near you.]

Hearing Han Yoo-ra’s calm words, I looked up and down at her, and at the same time tried to locate her using her magic, but I couldn’t find it.

I don’t know how she did it, but it seems certain that she completely hid her magical powers.

“Then why aren’t you coming?”

When I asked in an argumentative manner, Han Yu-ra was silent for a while, and then the answer came back with her babbling sound.

[I’m going to take care of the kids watching this place. Just stand there]

After saying that, I heard something burning and people screaming through the phone.

But it didn’t last long and it quickly subsided.

From noble mtl dot com

[It’s done. I’ll go now.]

Dude.

After the call was cut off, she saw Han Yu-ra, who appeared with her yeomhwang out for about a minute.

But strangely, she didn’t feel her magic at all, so she looked at it curiously.

“Don’t stare at me like that, it’s embarrassing.”

“… Stop talking nonsense. Why can’t I feel the magic?”

After being stunned by Han Yu-ra’s absurd words, when I asked her questions, she shook her head and said.

“It’s our guild’s secret, so it’s hard to tell. Well, I’ll let you know when you follow me to our guild later.”

“That won’t happen, so I’ll have to look for it myself.”

She refused so resolutely, after expressing her intention, she asked Han Yoo-ra.

“Where is that witness?”

“Wait a minute.”

She said that and took out a familiar yellow crystal from the pocket of her jacket.

It is said to be a tool that can open a portal to the Assassination Guild, and it looks very similar to the one Kim Ji-soo took out.

“Where did you get that again?”

“I got this as a reward for dealing with the Assassination Guild.”

After saying that, Hanyu Ra infused her own red magic into her crystal.

Then, she began to emit red light as a portal was created in front of her eyes for one person to pass through.

“Are there any witnesses after passing through this portal?”

“Oh, you must be waiting now.”

Although she is reluctant as she has experience of being victimized by something similar, she made up her mind to go into the whole yard anyway.

“Yes.”

After she said that, she cautiously stepped her foot near the red portal, and Han Yu-ra followed closely behind her.

“Come a little further away, okay?”

“It’s a two-person portal, so if you leave a time difference, you won’t be able to move to another place. Enjoy my scent and soft skin after a long time, Wonwoo.”

“That sucks.”

After swearing at Yu-Ra Han’s inappropriate and seductive tone, she didn’t hide her displeasure and immediately boarded her portal.

Han Yoo-ra follows closely behind.

She feels as if her world is spinning as if she is realizing that she has been through a portal.

But even for a moment, she feels the hard sand on her feet.

Thinking this was the exit, she continued walking forward and out of her portal.

“Kuh-kuh, long time no see.”

After that, what she saw in front of her eyes was the face of a man she never wanted to see again.
