036. Lee Yeon-du (1)

“Life? Heh, ugh, kekekekekeke…….”

Icarone, covered in blood and laughing lowly, looked like a madman. And the moment his laughter stopped, the tip of his sword moved.

-Shoot!

“Ugh!”

Irel sensed danger in an instant and lifted Isperia. His sword made contact almost immediately. Irel, who fell back while striking the sword, opened her eyes in surprise at the tingling pain coming from her wrist.

‘Still, this kind of power… … The author is truly a monster.’

Irel shouted, shaking off her sword.

“Knights! Draw your swords! It’s a simultaneous attack!”

“Yes, Lord!”

The Knights of Irel moved in unison. Thirty-one swords, including Irel, stabbed in all directions. The speed was like the wind. At that moment, Icarone ran to meet Irel instead.

‘Me in this situation? If you want to escape, the standard way is to hit the weakest one… … .’

Irel retrieved her stabbing sword and raised it upward from below to counter his sword. Even if she couldn’t attack, she wouldn’t be able to block the sword of the so-called elite knights. Since they were all trusted by everyone, they would avoid fatal wounds and capture them alive.

-Chaeng! Chaeng-jaeng, pook!

“this!”

At that moment, Irel’s sword, which he had struck, spun around in the direction of movement and attacked the knights. The knights who had been aiming for the back of the head were taken aback by the sudden counterattack and blocked his attacks frantically. Even so, it was extremely frustrating that three of them, the best knights he had personally raised, were killed in the blink of an eye.

Irel, who had been watching Icarone for a moment, opened her eyes wide. He had no defense at all. He simply attacked with each move risking death. The knights were helplessly pushed back by the strange coat that gave wings to his dangerous tactics. Irel rushed at him again and shouted.

“Don’t stick to him! His stamina has already reached its limit! Focus on defense as much as possible and take away his stamina!”

The knights were no match for him. Irell stepped forward and clashed swords with him.

-Chaeng chaeng chae jaeng!

As the knights occasionally distracted Icarone by aiming after him from behind, his mental power also rapidly declined.

Icarone, who was frantically accepting the acceptance of the Knights of Irel, suddenly felt something snap in his head. At the same time, the world suddenly turned pitch black.

‘What is it, a dead… thing?’

Icarone’s consciousness was also sucked into the darkness at a terrifying speed.

-Tiring.

‘Hey, it’s that guy!’

“Welcome~ It’s AS25 o’clock~!”

Lee Yeon-doo looked closely at the man who came in with his hood pulled over his head. He was a man who always covered his face like that and didn’t say anything. When she first saw him, she was scared because he was wearing a mask. However, when she met those cold, sunken eyes, she felt an inexplicable emotion, and since then, he was a man who had been on her mind.

It occurred to me later that my feelings were ‘sadness’. Why did I feel that way when I looked at that man?

Today again, he just handed me the item without saying anything.

“It’s 4900 won~. But why do you buy bands so often?”

“…….”

The man paused, looked into Lee Yeon-doo’s eyes for a moment, and then looked away. As expected, Lee Yeon-doo sighed deeply as she watched his back as he left the convenience store, ignoring her.

“Huh… Am I that bad?”

The man actually had a large scar on his face, indicating something had happened. Lee Yeon-doo, who guessed that it was probably because of that that he had built up a wall between himself and other people, shook his head and raised his face again.

Lee Yeon-du was the eldest daughter of three siblings, with two younger brothers. When she was in middle school, her parents passed away suddenly in a car accident, and her two younger siblings felt that they had to take responsibility for the situation, so they worked any part-time jobs they could find. They received government subsidies, but it was hard to pay rent and utility bills. However, in order to send their younger siblings to college, they did not enter high school and worked even harder.

However, as she was not an adult, there were very limited things she could do. There were many cases where she was kicked out without being paid for her work. Even though she had such hard days, she had a deep bond with her siblings, but she had a hard time seeing their faces because she worked day and night.

I held on and held on, and as an adult I was able to confidently receive a salary, but the only places that would hire me, a middle school graduate, were part-time jobs that could always find a substitute.

In places like this, the boss’s word is almost absolute power. If you say or do something wrong, you’ll get fired right away without even getting paid. However, Lee Yeon-du was able to get a job at a place that was close to his second part-time job and where the boss gave him a slightly suspicious look, but was kind, so he was happy to work there today.

“Alba, your name is… Lee Yeon-du? Your name is pretty too. Can you give me your phone number?”

A large man wearing a black tracksuit spoke. This happened often, but I really hate people calling me ‘Part-timer.’ However, overwhelmed by the size of the man, Lee Yeon-doo spoke in a crawling voice.

“Excuse me, why my phone number?”

The man answered, chewing his gum noisily.

“Of course I like you, oppa. I’ll make sure you don’t work in a place like this.”

“Ah… I’m sorry. I have a boyfriend.”

In this situation, the excuse of a boyfriend who doesn’t exist is the best. But the man suddenly grabbed Lee Yeon-doo’s wrist. She was startled and stepped back, trying to shake off his hand, but it didn’t move at all like a rock.

“Whoa! Why, why are you doing this?”

“I know you don’t have a boyfriend. After this, aren’t you going to work at the gas station at the intersection again? Everyone knows about it. Don’t be like that. Just give me your number.”

The man pulled his wrist and brought it up to his face. Lee Yeon-doo struggled to pull his wrist away and shouted.

“Poem, I don’t like it! Don’t do this!”

The man’s expression darkened at her words.

“What? You don’t like it? I felt bad for you because you don’t have a mom or dad, so I tried to play with you once. What? You don’t like it?”

How could someone who was meeting her for the first time know her? Lee Yeon-doo felt angry, embarrassed, and mixed emotions at his words. She saw the man’s palm, the size of a pot lid, raised in front of her. What on earth did she do wrong to deserve this treatment from him? She had suffered countless injustices up until now, but she had endured and lived, looking forward to becoming an adult. However, when she experienced something like this even after becoming an adult, tears welled up in her eyes from the incomprehensible injustice.

At that moment, a familiar hood suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

“calculate.”

The hooded man came between the man and Yeondoo and held out the ramen.

“What are you? You little punk, can’t you see what I’m saying?”

The man let go of Lee Yeon-doo’s wrist and glared at the hooded man as if he was going to punch him at any moment. However, he just stared at the cash register. He looked scared, but Yeon-doo thought that he must have stepped forward for her. However, if this continued, he would get hurt. Lee Yeon-doo quickly grabbed her cell phone and shouted.

“If you act up any more, I’ll call the police… Ouch!”

At that moment, the large fist swung towards the hooded man’s head. The man didn’t even notice and didn’t even look in that direction. Soon, the man was lying on the ground covered in blood. Yeondu had to stop it somehow, but her eyes closed tightly without realizing it.

-Swoosh~ Thud!

But contrary to my expectations, the wind blew for a moment and then became quiet. I was about to slowly open my eyes wondering what was going on when I heard the voice of the big man.

“Okay, wait a minute… Hey, hey, let’s calm down….”

When Yeondu opened her eyes completely at the sound, the hooded man had bent one of the man’s arms behind her back and was holding the tip of the ballpoint pen he had pulled out in front of the man’s eyes. The distance was barely 1cm, making it a precarious scene. However, the hooded man’s eyes did not waver as if he had done this often. And the man seemed to have felt the same way as well, as he continued to speak in a trembling voice.

“Please… please… spare me….”

-Bam.

Only then did the hooded man let go of the man. Then the man ran away without looking back. When the man disappeared and the surroundings became quiet, Yeondoo’s legs gave out and she collapsed on the floor. Even though the man was right in front of her, she couldn’t stop crying. She should have thanked him quickly, but Yeondoo didn’t want to show him this side of her and couldn’t even get up.

After five minutes, Yeondoo calmed down and got up from her seat. It was so quiet that she thought he might have gotten tired of waiting, but she saw the man in front of her looking at her with the same expression as always. Tears welled up in her eyes again because of the strange emotion, but she had to say hello quickly.

“Uh, uh, thank you……. Thank you so much.”

“calculate.”

“Ah, ah, yes yes. Calculation…….”

Contrary to Lee Yeon-doo’s wishes, the man left the door without even looking back. When silence fell again, she fell to the counter and muttered.

“I should have at least asked your name…….”

As Lee Yeon-doo looked at his back, he felt uneasy as if he would disappear like a mirage.

Why do my ominous feelings always come true? He used to come every two or three days at the latest, but he hasn’t been seen for over a week now.

Today was the day of the company dinner. If only the boss, who always gave me a suspicious look, had made all sorts of excuses to refuse, but Hyunwoo, the shift worker who always greeted me with a kind and shy smile, actively agreed to the company dinner.

The owner of the convenience store said that it would cost less and there would be fewer people to order here than to spend money elsewhere, so they closed the convenience store and held a company dinner in a small room in the back. Lee Yeon-doo also agreed, thinking that it would save time moving around and definitely cost less, and entered the room.

The president, who was wearing a black miniskirt and an apron, was glancing at Lee Yeon-doo’s pure white thighs through the gap between the skirt and stood up from his seat and said.

“Ah, it’s great to have a good time with our hard-working part-timers! I’ll bring you some beer with ice in it~.”

“Oh, no, sir. I’ll get it.”

Hyunwoo and the CEO actively tried to stop Lee Yeondoo from getting up.

“After work, it’s all the same~. I’ll get it, just wait.”

“Yes, Yeondoo. Let’s use this opportunity to make the boss work for us. Haha.”

“Haha, that guy.”

As they both sneered, Lee Yeon-doo sat back down. In the meantime, the president and Hyun-woo winked at each other and exchanged suspicious signals. Soon, the president brought the beer, glanced at Lee Yeon-doo’s legs and the back of her neck, and offered her a beer while licking his lips.

“Come on, drink, drink~! I feel so good today! Let’s drink it all and die~!”

“Yes, boss! Ta-da~.”

“I, I’ll just drink a little bit. I have to go to my next part-time job soon…….”

The president paused at Lee Yeon-doo’s words, then answered with a broad smile.

“Okay, okay. I’m not an old-fashioned person who forces people to drink alcohol. Drink moderately, moderately, haha!”

Today, the boss’s gaze was even stickier and there was something unsettling about it, but I looked at Hyunwoo, who was wearing a kind expression next to him, and brought my beer glass to my lips.

‘Yeah, Hyunwoo is here, so what could go wrong?’

The president’s smile grew deeper as he watched Lee Yeon-doo turn his head and carefully drink his beer. And soon after, Lee Yeon-doo felt dizzy as if he was drunk and lost consciousness.
