S-Rank is My Side Character (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 229

Inside the attic room where he usually stayed, Shin Ji Hoon gazed up at the sky through a small window.

Dark black clouds had gathered thickly in the sky, and within them, greenish light pulsed uneasily.

“What on earth is going on?”

When the gate appeared and everyone was told to evacuate, he wondered if it might somehow be connected to Na Ri—whether she might emerge from it again, just like two years ago—and so he couldn’t bring himself to follow the evacuation order.

“You, Na Ri, and that guy—none of you ever listen to a word I say. It’s always a one-sided farewell. All I can do is wait, clinging to some faint hope.”

After making that bitter joke, Ji Hoon gathered up the completely dried towels.

He felt tears well up slightly, overwhelmed by the same helplessness he’d felt toward his wife long ago.
