“W-what are you doing there!”
“Squeak!”
In the end, he ended up waking up 6-se. In Yoo-shin bowed and apologized to 6-se and looked back at the window. His heart was still pounding with fear.
Outside the window, which was closed only with the screen closed because it was summer, a man with the same color scheme as the twins in the dream was crouching in the air, hugging his knees. Hyeon Gyu-ha scratched the screen with his fingers with a sullen expression.
“I woke up at dawn and I was worried about my master and I missed you so much...... But I can’t wake Master up from his deep sleep….”
“…….”
“Just to hear the sound of breathing……………….”
"………………Uh, I'll just tell you the door lock password."
“You don’t have to go that far since you’re not a stalker.”
I don't know what the difference is between hearing someone breathing outside my window and stalking, but I woke up so shocked. I think my lifespan was shortened by about 4 seconds.
I couldn't keep leaving him outside, so I brought him inside for now.
“I’m just a marble statue stuck in the corner of the room, so ignore me and get ready for work. I won’t bother you.”
He squatted down. Hyeon Gyu-ha was literally sitting quietly next to 6-se’s cage.
“Have you had breakfast?”
“Master, just hearing the sound of your breathing makes me full. Oh, Yoo-shin-ssi, I made and brought you breakfast. Do you want to eat?”
When I heard that he had brought food, I was startled and nervous, thinking about his bad and unhealthy exercise diet from before, but fortunately, it was just a regular whole wheat bread sandwich. It was egg mayo, which In Yoo-shin likes.
"I'll wash up and come back soon."
In Yoo-shin, who entered the bathroom, cleared his throat. Hyeon Gyu-ha probably didn’t hear me talking about Stoya or Stoyan while sleeping, but the colors in my dream were so vivid that I was overly surprised earlier. It was as if he had just jumped out of my dream.
As he washed his hair, he tried to sort out the tangled thoughts in his mind. In this world where In Yoo-shin lives, Stoyan and Stoya probably lived ordinary lives and died.
But what if there was a world where Stoyan and Stoya were sacrificed to complete the city? How likely is it that that world is ®ÀÇ?
A tale from the old Serbia, now commonly referred to as Romania.
The illegitimate child of a king whose father was the king.
Stoya's bloodline.
Nzinga, who called Stoya the king.
Putting aside the fact that it was impossible to explain the logical causal relationship, it felt like it was somewhat plausible to assume that Stoya and Stoyan were kings. Above all, the fact that they had amber-colored eyes, rare enough to be called Wolf Eye, added weight to the guess.
If there is a world where God intervenes, as Hyeon Gyu-ha said, wouldn't it be possible for an ordinary brother and sister who were born a long time ago to still be alive today? Or for the older brother to fall in love with a woman from another world and have a child with her.
“…….”
I tried to organize my thoughts, but the more I thought about it, the more my head became tangled.
'Let's think about this slowly. Gyu-ha-ssi would be shocked if he heard that the clue was a dream.'
First, I need to get ready for work quickly. In Yoo-shin turned on the shower water and washed away his complicated thoughts along with the soapy water.
Hyeon Gyu-ha said he didn't have to eat breakfast, but he felt bad about sitting down to eat alone.
“Are you really not going to eat breakfast?”
He quickly changed his words as if he noticed the mood.
"Then please give me the soybean paste stew you had yesterday."
He quickly took out the remaining soybean paste stew and lettuce from the refrigerator, and Hyeon Gyu-ha mixed the rice and ate it. In Yoo-shin also ate a sandwich in front of him.
At the gate, in the dungeon, and in the hospital, I had breakfast with Hyeon Gyu-ha, but the fact that the setting had changed to a house made me feel unfamiliar. In Yoo-shin spoke to shake off the unfamiliarity.
"How long have you been waiting outside?"
“It hasn’t been long since I washed up at home.”
"Don't get exposed to the morning dew. Just inside the home if you need to."
I've come in with the door open before, so what's there to be shy about? In Yoo-shin drank his milk while thinking about such things.
"Actually, I have a confession to make."
"Yes?"
“When Seong-gil Hyung fixed the front door and made Yoo-shin recognize his mana pattern, I secretly injected my mana into it as well.”
“…….”
“But please rest assured that I am not a stalker, but a well-mannered pet rat, so I will not come in without permission in the future.”
"………………yes."
In Yoo-shin decided not to think about it any further and just eat a delicious breakfast.
“Squeak! Squeak!”
“I will work hard and earn money.”
He left the house after 8-se's farewell. As he was locking the front door, In Yoo-shin's shoulders jerked as an ominous thought suddenly occurred to him.
“Excuse me, Gyu-ha-ssi. You didn’t bring a car when you came………………, did you?”
If my ominous feeling is true, this time I will somehow escape and go to work by subway. Hyeon Gyu-ha made a very regretful expression.
"I wore a jacket today. I'll only drive a car when I wear a suit."
In doing so, he presented a difficult choice.
“Hyeon Gyu-ha wearing a suit and driving a sports car vs. Hyeon Gyu-ha wearing a jacket and riding a bike.”
“……!”
“I will follow your taste, Master.”
I really, really, really, really want to see Hyeon Gyu-ha in a perfect three-piece suit, but……
'Why is there an option to drive a car there!'
A deep anguish came over me, just like when I heard my parents ask me, 'Do you like Mommy or Daddy?'
“Just wear a suit and ride a bike!”
“The biker look is completed with a black leather jacket.”
It was such an excellent reason that there was no room for refutation, so I was almost convinced in a word.
Once a month…… No, once every ten days, wouldn’t I be able to somehow endure it? Since humans are creatures of adaptation, there might come a day when I can enjoy Hyeon Gyu-ha’s driving. While others pay to enjoy thrills at amusement parks, I get a free tour course to the underworld every ten days……
“Wow!”
As he was walking down the stairs, lost in thought, he stumbled. His body swayed violently in the air, but before he could fall, a strong arm gently wrapped itself around his waist.
And the arm that had been wrapped around his waist released his grip faster than when it had been wrapped as soon as it had supported In Yoo-shin upright.
“T-thank you. I almost rolled over.”
“When you’re walking down the street, sometimes you almost fall even though your feet aren’t even there and there’s nothing there.”
“How did you know?"
“It's due to having a weak core. Let’s exercise.”
“…….”
In Yoo-shin turned away from Hyeon Gyu-ha. Exercise... I think I should do some. I should run on the treadmill starting tomorrow. Starting tomorrow. Seriously, starting tomorrow.
“But seriously, you’re saying that you carry around a bike and jacket as a set because it’s cool?”
“No. It’s just convenient. A bike is lighter than a car, so it’s easier to carry around or put in the inventory in case of emergency. What controls my brain is not my face(kao), but my deep love for my Master.”
"Yes."
It was a conversation no different from usual, but a subtle sense of discomfort crossed my mind. If it were Hyun Gyu Ha, he would have rubbed my waist even after supporting me up……
In Yoo-shin glanced at the status window.
[Current status: Murderous. Affectionate. Anxious.]
......What is the anxiety that keeps showing up after coming out of the dungeon? He quietly grabbed Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was looking back at him with a face that asked if he was going to go down.
“Gyu-ha-ssi. It’s not that I had ulterior motives, but if it was because of me, it was because I wanted to help you. What happened in the dungeon?”
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who seemed to be hesitating, blushed slightly at the back of his neck and wiggled his fingers. He looked very embarrassed for some reason.
In Yoo-shin also hesitated. What happened that made Hyeon Gyu-ha, of all people, so embarrassed that he couldn’t even speak properly?
The glancing gaze gently swept over In Yoo-shin's left hand, then quickly dispersed into a sigh.
“If I say it now, I feel like I’ll just get confirmed and killed………………… My Master always looks at me with such confidence like last night, but compared to him, I feel like such a pathetic person.”
In Yoo-shin's mouth opened slightly. Where can you find someone as shameless, or rather confident, as Hyeon Gyu-ha?
“I want to be a pet rat that can stand proudly next to its owner without being abandoned by working hard. Until then, I will endure it by pricking my thigh with a needle.”
There was something else stored in the thigh…… No, that wasn’t it. I was so surprised by the sight that was so unlike Hyeon Gyu-ha that my consciousness was stretching in a strange direction.
He quickly shook off his thoughts and grabbed Hyeon Gyu-ha’s hand. His hand visibly flinched and his cheeks turned red again.
[Current status: Murderous. Affection. Anxiety. Thrill.]
Still, this time it was a positive feeling.
“I’m okay with it anytime, so if you want to talk to me, please do.”
“……I’ll hold on for 5 minutes.”
