At 11 AM, Nari, who had just woken up from the faint alarm sound on the sofa, looked around.

Still a youthful appearance. Nari, 15 years old, at the time when she had just escaped from the nightmare of the Class 1 gate in South Korea, after her mother passed away.

When Jeong Suhwa shook her awake in the morning, asking if she was not going to school, she did not move at all. He left after saying, “Take care of your meals.”

“…….”

Jeong Suhwa’s home, where he started living alone from middle school.

Fortunately, after her mother’s death, Nari was able to come here to avoid harm.

She looked around the house. Jeong Suhwa had not done any cleaning or laundry.

If asked to clean, he would gather everything together, and he would wash all the clothes, including white ones and colorfast ones.

Considering that he was prone to mistakes and forgetfulness from the beginning, Nari, who thought it couldn’t be helped, got up from the sofa and picked up the scattered books on the floor.

“……I have to get things done.”

A to-do list formed in Nari’s mind.

Once she organized all this, she had to run the vacuum cleaner, do the dishes, and do the laundry. She couldn’t go grocery shopping, but she had to somehow manage until dinner with the available ingredients.

Jeong Suhwa’s house was quiet. There were no reporters coming, and she didn’t have to worry about her father.

If she turned off the TV and the internet, it was all fine. And there was work to be done.

In this environment, Nari was gradually reviving a heart that had been dying bit by bit.
Yes, it seemed that I could gradually recover like this.

“……Should I write a thank-you letter or something?”

Muttering to herself like that, Nari opened the small door to the two-room apartment.

It was a bit embarrassing to directly express gratitude with words, so why not write a letter instead?

Receiving a letter, Jeong Suhwa would undoubtedly shed a few tears.

And when he stammers while expressing his gratitude, his face will turn red, and seeing that would be quite delightful.

Ironically, it was because of people that Nari, who had been tossed among countless individuals, strangely began to embrace the hope of living until tomorrow.

While rummaging through the desk to find a suitable pen and stationery for writing the letter, Nari’s gaze suddenly fell on the sky-blue paper tucked between the books.

“What’s this?”

Most of the incoming letters are managed by herself.

With a color like this, there was no way she wouldn’t know about it, but for a moment, a creepy feeling ran down Nari’s spine.

The date of entry is on the Nth of the month. As already notified, you must live within the Gods’ organization for the next two years, and on this point…….]

Before she knew it, Nari’s hands trembled as she opened the envelope and read the letter inside.

Yes, that’s right. It had always been like this. There was no one who didn’t leave Nari’s side.

Family was the same. And Jeong Suhwa must have been the same.
Yet, it was still too heartbreaking. Nari felt like someone was stabbing a knife in her back, and she just sat down in the small room.

There was only one place in this world where she could let her guard down, and even that disappeared.

“We had a big fight that day, he said he would make money and come back in two years, and I believed him. But in the end, he didn’t come back. He diligently sent money for a while, but even that stopped at some point. It went down the drain like that.”

After telling the story up to that point, Rude leaned on my knees. His tone contained a bit of irritation, resignation, and sadness.

“Since then, I stopped trusting people. I am more unstable than others, and there is a limit to those who can support someone like me.”

Anyone will eventually leave Nari’s side because Nari is an unstable person.

So, don’t trust others completely, and first take care of yourself.

That was the last lesson that Jeong Suhwa left for Nari.

After that, Nari astoundingly recognized the signs of people struggling to endure her and repeatedly stepped back.

The only ones who wholeheartedly supported the unstable Nari were the rulers of chaos. And there was this man in front of her.

And Kang Ihyun, being a human, might also harbor resentment someday. She still had that thought lingering in her mind.

“So, I’m incredibly angry, but I don’t particularly blame him for leaving me. It was just the way he did it that was the problem.”
So, when you decide to leave me someday, make sure to tell me honestly. Those words were about to come out, but Rude suppressed them again.

“But, if all of that was a misunderstanding, and you were planning to come back….”

Now saying it was all a misunderstanding? Kang Ihyun sat down with a thud in front of him, who was muttering without a clear idea of what to do.

“Then you should go and resolve it!”

“Huh?”
