Chapter 216
Ah.
Kang Hye-rim, who had been staring intently at Yu-hyun, came to her senses when she saw his puzzled look.
She quickly backed away, flustered, and straightened her upper body.
She said in a defensive tone, her face flushed red.
Uh, um. That is, I was curious about what kind of training you were doing.
She waved her hands and rambled on, but anyone could tell that she was lying.
However, Yu-hyun decided not to press her further.
So, did you finish your training too, Hye-rim?
Huh? Oh, yes. I was also tired and wanted to rest a bit.
Yu-hyun glanced at her.
She was soaked in sweat, as if she had been working hard to control the energy of the Heavenly Thunder Sword.
She was still breathing slightly, which meant that she had not finished her training long ago.
As he looked closely at her face, he noticed that there were faint dark circles under her eyes.
He reached out his hand naturally.
Yoo, Yu-hyun?
Just stay still for a moment.
Kang Hye-rim was at a loss when his hand approached her, but soon closed her eyes tightly.
She looked like a kitten who was afraid of a strangers touch.
He gently touched her eyelids with his fingers.
Ah.
She shivered as she felt his touch.
His warm fingertips made her heart race uncontrollably.
He was touching her.
She realized for the first time that just this fact alone could make her chest beat like crazy.
His touch was warm and gentle.
His fingers moved softly over her eyes, as if he was drawing them with a brush.
How long had it been? The warmth on her face disappeared.
You can open your eyes now.
She felt sorry that she could not feel his touch anymore and opened her eyes.
How do you feel?
Huh? How do I feel?
Youve been very tired lately, right? You had dark circles under your eyes.
Yes. Yes?!
She hurriedly checked the mirror on the wall and looked at her eyes.
It was true that she had reduced her sleep and trained hard lately, but she did not expect to have dark circles.
She felt embarrassed that he had seen her like that, but she was also confused when she saw her normal eyes.
Huh? There are no dark circles.
Of course not. I erased them for you just now.
What? Then does that mean, your touch earlier
Yes. I gave you some energy.
I see
What he had given to her eyes was the blue-green energy.
It was the optimal energy for recovering physical fatigue, as it was full of life force.
No wonder she felt good.
She felt grateful and regretful at the same time.
She felt foolish for getting excited and hoping for something more by herself.
She avoided his gaze with a slight frown.
Huh? Hye-rim? Whats wrong with you?
I dont know.
Kang Hye-rim said that and then moved closer to Yu-hyuns side.
Yu-hyun looked at her silently.
She seemed angry as if she was betrayed by her expectations, but she was also curious about her attitude that was approaching him.
As Kang Hye-rim came closer, a scent wafted into Yu-hyuns nose.
It was something that could only be described as the smell of clear water.
It was not a foul odor that he wanted to avoid, but a peaceful one that made him feel like he was at a forest stream.
Yu-hyun realized that it was thanks to the water story that Kang Hye-rim had.
Hye-rim. You sweated a lot, right?Immerse Yourself in the Storyverse: N♡vεlB¡n.
! Why, why? Do I smellbad?
Kang Hye-rim hastily sniffed her arm and shoulder, but she had no way of knowing if she smelled bad.
Her expression became gloomy.
Yu-hyun added a word to reassure her.
No. I was just curious because you dont smell at all.
Really?
Kang Hye-rims expression brightened up again.
Her mood changed so quickly that she looked like a naive puppy.
Of course.
I see. But it was still harsh. How can you ask a woman if she sweated?
Why not? It doesnt matter if you dont smell.
Thats not the point, okay?
Kang Hye-rim decided that there was no use arguing with Yu-hyun any further, so she pretended to be angry and leaned against him.
Their shoulders touched.
Hye-rim?
Yu-hyun called her name with a slight panic, but Kang Hye-rim deliberately ignored him.
She rather lay down on her side and put her head on Yu-hyuns thigh.
Yu-hyun frowned.
What are you doing? Youre heavy. Move your head.
Then, why do you do that?
Do what?
Why do you keep using formal language?
What?
If you think were close, if you think were precious You can speak casually, right?
Yu-hyun tried to say something, but ended up chuckling.
Kang Hye-rim was annoyed.
Why, why are you laughing? Whats so funny?
Just
Look at this. Youre using formal language again. Cant you just speak casually?
No. I cant.
Why!
Because using formal language is the least I can do to show respect to the people who fought for me.
Yu-hyun was grateful to Kang Hye-rim.
He was also grateful to Kwon Jia, Baek Seoryeon, and Seo Sumin.
Unlike his previous life where he was not respected, he appreciated them for valuing him highly.
And he felt sorry for them too. He had dragged them into dangerous situations because of his own desires.
Thats why he didnt speak casually to them.
And at some point, he got used to using formal language.
But if everyone wants it. Then Ill consider speaking casually to you.
Really? Youre not lying, right?
Why would I lie about something like this?
Then, thats enough for now.
Kang Hye-rim muttered that and tapped his hand lightly.
It was a cute protest, asking him to move his hand that had stopped stroking her hair.
Yu-hyun shrugged his shoulders helplessly and ran his fingers through her hair again.
How much time had passed like that?
Yu-hyun
Kang Hye-rim cautiously opened her mouth, wondering if she was bothering him.
Werent you scared?
What do you mean?
I mean last time, you were badly injured.
Oh.
She was talking about the time when his heart was pierced.
In fact, Yu-hyun almost died then.
He was on the verge of death.
No, it would be fair to say that he did die.
Even though he had some intention of doing so, surviving was practically a miracle.
Wasnt he scared?
Of course he was scared.
He had already experienced death once, and he had seen more deaths of others than anyone else.
Even if living was the greatest pain, the fear of death was not something that could be easily erased.
I wasnt afraid at all.
But, Yu-hyun lied.
To reassure her.
To not worry her.
I was sure that everything would be fine.
It was a lie.
It was an impossible gamble.
He didnt even have any confidence.
How can you be so strong, Yu-hyun?
Why was he strong?
Yu-hyun answered without hesitation.
Because I have something that I must achieve. For the sake of my goal, anyone can become strong.
It was a lie.
In truth, he was not strong.
He was just pretending to be strong.
If you have a goal that you want to achieve, you must never compromise or give up.
It was a lie.
He thought about giving up.
He wondered if it would be okay to compromise a little.
Strength is something that you have to prove yourself. With your own power.
It was a lie.
He wanted to cry out that he was tired to someone.
He wanted to lean on someone and complain.
But, in the end, he couldnt let go of what he had in his hand.
He had already come too far.
Now, losing this warmth in his hand was more frightening than running towards his goal.
Yu-hyun hid his inner voice, and wrapped his pitiful core with fancy decorations and made it look plausible.
This weakness was only his own.
Showing it to someone and asking for sympathy was nothing but an escape of the weak.
I am stronger than anyone else. So, Hye-rim. You can lean on me if you are having a hard time. You can lean on me anytime.
How rough and painful the road ahead would be.
He had prepared himself for it since he came back from the past.
Thats why he didnt care if he got hurt or suffered.
But he hoped that his comrades who followed his will would be less hard than him.
Because you are all my protagonists.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
