“If it’s a guild internal issue… I understand. But still, there’s no one safer for Shin-a than me.”
I couldn’t keep up with their conversation for a moment. Was there a problem with Amwol? I tried to recall information about Amwol, but only trivial things came to mind.
It’s a guild that mainly deals with information, established when the interim government was formed and had some upheaval six years ago.
I couldn’t remember the details of the turmoil, but I knew it was a significant event.
“What kind of confidence is that?”
“It’s the confidence of a fellow returnee. To this degree, we’re just childhood friends.”
Amidst this, the two started another verbal spar. I let out a small sigh.
“They really get along well…”
In several ways, that is.
My meeting with Baek Yi-hyun was brief.
Min Yoo-shin remained distrustful of him until the end, but Baek Yi-hyun volunteered to protect me without asking for anything in return. Though Min Yoo-shin made a face as if to say, ‘act as much as you want…’, implying it was youthful folly.
Baek Yi-hyun, who had to leave for a while, returned with a somewhat uneasy expression. Min Yoo-shin looked equally uncomfortable.
“It’s strange…”
“What is?”
“……Are you close with that guy?”
“We are, for now.”
Min Yoo-shin, not letting go of his dubious expression, walked ahead sniffling.
“……What kind of person is he?”
“Well, he’s just a good guy. A nice person… He was a bit sensitive just now, but he’s usually sincere.”
Apart from the fact that his excessive purity and cleanliness could provoke an inferiority complex, he was a genuinely good person. I tried to describe him as positively as I could, despite regularly ignoring his greetings.
“Hmm. Is that so…”
“Is there a problem?”
“No, not exactly a problem. Just strange that I haven’t heard of him if he’s that skilled. He definitely has the abilities to rank nationally… Is he hiding it?”
“……What?”
I knew Baek Yi-hyun was remarkable, but I didn’t realize to what extent. Min Yoo-shin shook his head at my clueless response.
“Never mind. There must be some reason. Anyway, Cheon Shin-a.”
“Yes.”
He called my full name unexpectedly. Even though it wasn’t a familiar name, I got goosebumps.
“You……”
Suddenly, the atmosphere got heavier. I felt like a child about to be scolded by parents. I tried to look harmless, rolling my eyes.
“How did you sneak out?”
“What?”
“How did you manage to sneak out without me knowing?”
All my tension dropped. I spoke cautiously.
“Just tiptoed out.”
“Tiptoed? Tiptoed?”
Min Yoo-shin’s expression turned bizarre, as if a button had been pressed. Something seemed wrong.
“You tiptoed out? Did you secretly buy an aura-blocking item?”
“Only the glasses you gave me just now.”
“Huh…”
Min Yoo-shin sighed as if baffled. Was it that surprising? I simply thought he didn’t notice because he was focused on something else. I couldn’t understand his astonishment.
“You know… Next time, don’t do that. It could really get dangerous.”
“Yes.”
“You answer as well as you did when you were young… I’m going to report everything to Shin-woo today!”
“What? Why?”
“Did you think I wouldn’t report it?”
“No, not that, but…”
“Let’s go. What do you want for dinner?”
“……Nothing.”
Why should I be controlled by Cheon Shin-woo when all I feel towards him is anger? Why should my actions be reported to him! I felt a surge of injustice. But those who err don’t have a say.
Min Yoo-shin comforted me, suggesting we eat something tasty, and then lectured me all day…
Min Yoo-shin tried to report to Cheon Shin-woo right away, but he couldn’t get through. Well, if he had gone somewhere else, he must be raiding a gate, so it’s unlikely he could be contacted.
The report named ‘activity report’ failed to reach Cheon Shin-woo, and after much deliberation, Min Yoo-shin granted me some degree of freedom.
Though there were many things I couldn’t accept, it was still liberating to have some freedom after more than a week. There was a mountain of things to do, and the first thing that came to mind was my semi-basement room. I had left it unattended for over ten days; I wondered if it was alright. Were there things I needed to take care of?
I also thought about my position at the team, which had been handled as medical leave during my hospitalization. Should I return once the leave ends, or should I quit? Can I continue working just because I want to?
Do I want to keep working? My mind was swirling with numerous concerns.
“Sigh…”
Either way, the answer lay with Cheon Shin-woo. It’s surreal that my blood relative is the guild leader of one of South Korea’s major guilds.
But then again, it’s not mine to worry about. I should first deal with the problems at hand.
Even if the problem seems unsolvable, if I methodically sort out what I can do, eventually a direction will emerge.
That’s what I thought, but then shocking news came.
“What? What did you say?”
“Sigh. I don’t know where the information leaked from, but it seems I need to go to the guild today. Want to rest?”
“……Yes.”

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
