47 – Awareness (4)
After returning home, we quietly went into our room and went to sleep.
But for some reason I couldn’t sleep well.
It’s not to the extent that I can’t sleep at all, but to the extent that I toss and turn a bit.
I wonder if it wasn’t that I didn’t pay attention to what Yoo Soo-ah said.
Anyway, since we are close like family, I think I had to be concerned about comments about relationships.
Of course, even if that’s the case, you can’t accept it straight away.
I spent every day thinking that it would be resolved naturally as time passed.
Teaching the sisters, going out, or occasionally contacting Han Su-jeong.
※
I woke up in the morning.
Yesterday was the day I slept with Yoo Soo-ah… When I woke up, I wasn’t there.
If it was the same as usual, it would have felt normal without much difference, but maybe it was because we had a conversation the other day.
A little sense of absence touched my heart.
“…”
She stared blankly at the seat next to her for a while, and after washing her face, Seo-eun Yoo greeted her happily as she came out.
But today, Yoo Seo-eun was preparing breakfast by herself.
“Ah. Oppa. Hi. Did you sleep well?”
“Yes. What about you, Seo-eun?”
“I always sleep well. But… I don’t think I slept a little bit today, oppa?”
“Huh? Really?”
It was an ordinary greeting, but it seemed to poke her heart a little.
But as if nothing was wrong with her, she smiled and continued the conversation.
“I must have slept a little wrong. But what about Sua?”
“Ah. I went out for a while. I think I went out to practice.”
“Really?”
As she taught her sisters, their skills improved rapidly.
I wonder if my teaching, which can be said to be insignificant and meager, could not hide the talent I originally possessed.
It was natural in a way, since it is a magic class where the power of abilities is determined by imagination.
However, it was still lacking a lot when I saw it.
Anyway, compared to my previous life, I’m definitely weak, but…
Compared to other people now, the ability of the sisters is definitely outstanding.
‘Should I go to update my rank… ‘
It’s only been about a month since I took the test.
What. Let’s think about that later.
“By the way, brother. When did you and your sister fight once?”
“Huh?”
I was a little taken aback by the sudden question.
A fight. Not just recently, but never before.
I’ve never been at odds with each other, and I acted like I’ve always been…
Could there be something wrong with it?
“No. Why? What did Sua say?”
“No. It’s just like… I feel like there’s something subtle between her sister and her brother.”
“Something?”
“Hmm. It’s just a personal feeling. Because I’m a younger sister. Of course, I’m a younger brother… But there’s a difference in the time we’ve been together.”
That was not wrong.
She was in a situation where she received a confession of her own from Yoo Soo-ah, and she couldn’t answer it properly.
No. Should I say she refused.
Looking at the situation at the time, it seems that the conversation ended in vain…
When I think about it, it seems that Yoo Soo-ah’s attitude towards me has become a bit awkward after that.
“No. Is there anything like that?”
“…Really?”
“Eh. Why?”
“…No.”
Yoo Seo-eun glanced at me with a suspicious look.
It feels a bit like being interrogated… It must be an illusion.
By the way, as Yu Seo-eun said, she seems to have a bit of an awkward feeling, so I think she needs to try to solve it.
“Well. If not, it’s fortunate… If there is, oppa. Be nice to unnie.”
“Huh?”
As I was preparing breakfast again, I was a little puzzled by Yoo Seo-eun’s words.
I wish you well. Was there anything I couldn’t do?
“Did I do something wrong when you saw Seo Eun?”
“It’s not like that… It’s just that. It’s been hard for my sister to always take care of me. So I hope my brother pays more attention to that part and reads it.”
She didn’t know what her sisters had been through since they were little.
Because of that, I vaguely understood what Yoo Seo-eun meant.
Sometimes, when Yoo Soo-ah wasn’t there, he talked about the past.
But somehow this conversation… She had a slightly different feeling from the stories she had told so far.
“Yes. Seo-eun, tell me if something happens to you. I’m not the kind of person who cares about others, but I always cherish you guys.”
“…”
Hearing the answer, Yu Seo-eun stopped for a moment.
She seemed to be thinking about something. She stared into space for a while, then she started cooking again.
She
A small smile appeared on her face as she looked to her side, and she answered without looking at me.
“Yes. Thank you. Brother.”
“…Yeah. But somehow, it seems that Seo Eun-yi has changed a bit too?”
“Isn’t it because she suddenly matured? I haven’t changed.”
“Um… Is that so?”
But she seems to have something… She swallowed the word in her mouth.
A carelessly given answer.
Because it was a way of speaking that seemed to have some meaning in it.
She was worried that she might be hiding something, but… She decided not to ask because she thought it was personal.
She is still growing up, but Yoo Seo-eun is especially young mentally compared to her physical age.
If there is a problem later, I will be able to solve it.
She just thought it would be okay.
※
After the meal, I started to check what I was going to do.
‘It’s not long until the day of the instructor interview in the second half of the academy.’
Now it’s time to stop resting at home and go out and work.
Of course, compensation was given at the association and H&A group level as a reward for solving the department store incident.
That doesn’t mean we can’t keep playing and eating.
Because it didn’t feel like staying at home all the time, I needed to get out soon.
‘Once the application is complete… What else is left to prepare?’
The competition for academy instructors was much tougher than I thought.
The place I was going to enter was not because of its reputation, but because it had its own difficulty.
The ability of the students is also the ability, and since you have to guide them correctly, you must have some level of ability.
Because of that, there was no option for awkward people, and it was understandable that you had to be A rank or higher to apply.
♬~♪~♩♩
I was looking at my computer carefully when the bell rang next to me.
Looking at the screen, it was Han Soo-jung.
As I hurriedly received it, I heard Han Su-jeong’s voice sounding a little excited.
[Hello. Senior. I can hear you well?]
“Uh. Sujeong-ah. I can hear you. What’s going on?”
[Ah… what… I just wanted to say my personal regards and that the interview went well. It’s been a long time since we met again.]
“That’s right.”
So far, Han Soo-jung and I have never met.
Personally, did you say Han Soo-jung was busy with work?
There was such a thing, and it seemed that he was strangely avoiding me.
Of course, I also had a feeling of avoiding her.
I’ve had such an embarrassing conversation before, and I’ve never met or dated anyone in the time I’ve lived, so how can I cope with it?
Besides… Yoo Soo-ah’s confession also bothered her a little, so in the end, only Eoyoung and Booyeong’s time passed.
“Well. It’s okay. It’s the first time I’ve tried it, so it’s a little complicated, but it’s okay.”
[If you have the skills of a senior, you will definitely pass in one breath. Do not worry too much.]
“hahahaha… Yes. Thank you for your support.”
[…] How are you these days?]
Ask for regards after taking a break for a while.
I could tell that his voice was slightly trembling.
“Huh? Uh… Just what… I’m doing fine. How are you?”
[Me too. Grab a villain, work, catch a villain… In particular, the fortress is working busier.]
“Really? What’s up?”
[Ah. That is… ]
At the question, Sujeong Han seemed reluctant for a moment.
She wondered if she was asking something inappropriate, so she quickly changed her words and answered.
“Ah! If I ask something pointless, you don’t have to answer. It’s not like the guy who left asked me a lot.”
[…] No. I was just thinking about how to respond. Above all, there was a report from a senior.]
“Report…”
The Alliance of Villains and Dr. Heyman?
I don’t know how the two will progress after that, but I was curious.
Because neither of them were easy opponents.
Especially Dr. Heyman… There was no madman among madmen.
Because of him, the villains have become many times stronger, people have turned into monsters, and there have been numerous casualties.
In order not to repeat such a tragedy again… If I can come forward, I will come forward and solve it.
“I’m curious. Then can you tell me?”
[Um… As far as I can tell you… ]
Han Soo-jung told her what had happened slowly.
In short, the existence of the Villain Alliance was identified within the association and the situation is being captured.
Because of that, everyone is alert and prepared for emergencies, she said.
From noble mtl dot com.
However, he said he hadn’t heard anything about Dr. Heyman.
Anyway, it’s the head of the villain alliance, and it’s tightly hidden and the risk is different, so it seems like it’s handled from the top.
It may not seem like a big deal, but it was a big win for me.
‘It has definitely changed from my previous life.’
In my previous life, the Association noticed the existence of the Villain Alliance too late.
No. Do you think I knew it and ignored it?
Their existence was known to the public, but it was passed off as an urban legend.
After that, when the war broke out and we continued to lose, we came up with a countermeasure.
The trap was that even that countermeasure was mere rubbish.
Anyway, when I looked at my past life, I could see that it was going many times faster and more sophisticated now.
“You must be very busy. I don’t know if I said something wrong.”
[No. Thanks to my seniors, I prevented a major accident in advance. It’s an alliance… How did the guys who like to go wild on their own create an alliance?]
“…Maybe there’s one capable one.”
Builder.
That bastard in his previous life was really like hell.
Because they came up with countless embarrassing schemes, made fun of them, and even used their own force.
He still thinks of the fact that he almost lost one arm to his black flame… He seemed a little sick.
[Is that right? They need a focal point to unite as one… We need to quickly find out who he is.]
“Don’t work too hard. You’ll get hurt after doing that. There are many talented people besides you, so tell them to look at S and EX to deal with it.”
[…] Are you worried?]
“Why. Hate it?”
Then, a panicked voice came from over the handset.
[Poetry. I don’t like it! Just what… Sun. Because I heard your worries… ]
“Because I heard…?”
[…] I like it.]
“…”
I couldn’t help but be silent at those words.
The conversation stopped and there was silence.
… Come to think of it, we haven’t had a conversation since then and it was over.
Since nothing is definitely over…
“Kheuheum! Hmm. Uh. Um. Yes… Cheer up. Let’s meet later when we have time. It’s been a while since we haven’t met.”
I coughed out of embarrassment.
For some reason, I thought we wouldn’t be able to talk anymore, so I was going to wrap it up.
Han Sujeong didn’t seem to have any intention of ending the conversation yet.
[…] That… Then! Let’s make an appointment!]
“Huh?!”
[Ah. No. Anyway, the senior also asked me to meet him once… Because I have a story to tell… !]
“…”
Silence again.
But this time it didn’t last long.
“Yes. Yes! I’ll call you later!!”
[Yes? Yes. Senior? Senior!]
It was because I hung up first because I couldn’t talk on the phone because I was embarrassed.
I heard an urgent voice, but I couldn’t help it.
Because I’ve never felt so ashamed before.
“…Haa…”
What should I do…
