NOVEL NEXT chapter 26
26 – Yeah…? Me…?(2)
I quietly close the door to the hospital room and leave.
The whole body is thrilled.
I feel that I am alive at this moment, that color has returned to my world.
It was just a visit to the hospital, a conversation, and an exchange of contact information.
Being so happy, isn’t it like a girl of the same age who fell in love?
‘Um… Isn’t that wrong…? It’s like… Meeting someone destined…’
As she was about to leave the hallway, a silver-haired woman was staring at Kilia, who had just come out of the hospital room.
‘…Chunhwa Yoo? Surely…Were they from the same academy?’
It seems that she was acquainted with Kim Ga-sik, and judging from the drinks in her hand, it seems that she has come to visit her in the hospital.
But why are you so flustered while looking at me?
That’s like…?
“…? Who are you…?”
“That, that… You… Who are you…?”
The moment we exchanged our first words, I knew from the tone of my trembling voice.
This is… Something really interesting will happen.
“Hmm… My name is Killia. You seem to be quite close with our acceleration, right?”
“…..! Ooh, our acceleration…?”
“Yes, well. If I were to say it, I would say a friend and colleague who went on an adventure together…”
“Chi, friend?… Colleague…?”
“Yes. We left each other’s backs when needed, and went on adventures of living and dying together. Accelerator also saved me.”
“Ugh… Life… Death…”
“At that time, he hugged me and protected me from the attack of dangerous monsters…!”
“Ah, you hugged me…?!”
“The only thing I said at that time was, ‘…We’re friends. I don’t want to see my friend die right in front of me…!'”
Koo Goong!
Ah, it’s so much fun.
Every time I say a word, the reaction I see is so much fun.
It’s like playing with a doll when you show all your emotions on your face like that.
It’s so thrilling to see him collapse with a dark expression, especially as soon as he says the last word.
“That… Don’t lie… It can’t be…”
“You didn’t tell a lie…?”
“Such…Then I…”
‘What, shall we stop here? It seems like you’ve already enjoyed it enough…’
“Anyway, thank you for visiting the hospital? I’ll say thank you as a ‘best friend’.”
“…….”
That’s how Yoo Chun-hwa sank.
It seems that someone from behind grabbed Yoo Chun-hwa, who was about to collapse, but there is no time to play anymore.
It’s time for other designers to gather, so it’s time to deliver the results.
……But why is Yoo Chun-hwa overreacting to the words about Kim Ga-sok?
When I looked back for a while, there was Yoo Chun-hwa looking at me with a frightening force.
I need to do some more research.
‘Anyway… It seems like there are a little more things to enjoy… Huhu.’
————————————————————————- —
And so, the point of view returns to the inside of Kim Ga-sok’s hospital room.
“That, did you say that? Kilia? That kind of person… But…”
“Hey… Are you comfortable calling me by your first name…?”
“No no, I really feel unfair. It’s the first time we met during the dungeon exploration. I never said that we were best friends.”
“Anyway… Friends… Are they?”
“Yeah… Just a friend… A friend who doesn’t mean much.”
“To say you saved a friend with no meaning… Just risking your life… Did you even hug him…?”
Damn it, what the hell were you talking about?
I’m not sure what he did to turn Yoo Chun-hwa’s yandere switch on, but it’s certain that the situation has turned on.
No matter what you say, it’s like stepping on a land mine, and you’re out of breath.
Because of the atmosphere, Miyashima and Aria are already holding their breath against the wall of the hospital room, unable to come close.
We have to overcome the situation somehow.
“No… That, the reason he saved me was because the situation was so critical… Isn’t life precious?”
“………”
It’s scary. Those sharp glares are even more deadly than usual, so it’s all the more frightening.
Now, he doesn’t answer anything and just watches.
Goosebumps all over my body.
“The word ‘hug’ is really misleading. I swear on my name. I just held him for a while to move him to the rescue. It wasn’t anything like that you think.”
“…..!! In the end… You mean you hugged me…?”
I’m going crazy.
Father, give me the strength to safely pass this situation.
“Calm down and listen. I’m so excited right now.”
“……..!!!”
“We entered the academy to become guardians. As guardians, of course you have to work hard to save the person in front of you, right?”
“……That’s right…”
“And if you look at how we became friends, Cheonhwa, you were the same. After I saved your life, we became close, didn’t we?”
“Ah… That’s… But…”
“You can assume that’s the case with Kylia. And you’re my best friend here.”
“……Me…?”
“Yes, you.”
That’s it.
Slowly, life begins to return to Yoo Chun-hwa’s eyes.
The frightening atmosphere slowly begins to diminish.
Miyashima and Aria also seemed to be more comfortable now, and began to have a light conversation.
“Whew, is it finally over? I was so scared I almost died…?”
Flinch
It seems that he is slowly returning to his senses.
You’ll soon realize what you’ve done.
“…………!!!!!”
The result was, of course, that he sank with his face buried in the pillow.
Perhaps it was really embarrassing, you can see his blushing face on the back of his neck.
“That… Chunhwa-san? Don’t worry too much. We don’t really think about it, and Kim Ga-sok won’t say anything.”
“….But…But…”
“Why… Why are you so obsessed with being friends?”
“…..!!!!!”
Ah, sinking again.
“Hey, isn’t it too delicate to handle women’s hearts? Miyashima, that’s why you’re not very popular among women.”
“Keuugh… Can you stop hitting me where it hurts too much… Ms. Aria…?”
“What do you mean, you just did the same thing to Cheonhwa?”
“That… I’m sorry…! Miss Cheonhwa, I didn’t mean to do that…”
“……No…..Everything…I…”
In an instant, the hospital room became noisy.
I think I desperately wanted to see it when I was locked up in a cave and fighting, but seeing it like this makes me feel like a nuisance again.
Hey, this is my hospital room…?
Is it true that you guys came to visit me…?
Isn’t the treatment of patients too harsh?
“Ah, that’s right. Acceleration. If you’re not rude… Can I ask you something?”
“Hmm? Ask me. I’ll give you an answer if I can.”
“That… I’m saying this after seeing today’s situation… As expected, the two of you are like that…?”
“…….?”
Who do you mean by two?
What do you mean by such a relationship?
Ha ha ha. Really. I don’t know. Girl?
“…Is it true…? Are rumors like that spreading…?”
“That… Is it a rumor… To the extent of being an open fact that everyone in Class A and some of Class B already know about…?”
Crazy…?
The relationship between me and Yoo Chun-hwa is so distorted?
You mean it’s already famous enough to spread to other classes?
“That’s really a complete misunderstanding…”
“But usually I only talk to you.”
“You guys know it too, but can’t you see he’s really timid? I don’t know what to say since we became extremely close in the first place. But now he talks to you often too..?”
“The rumor that I often see you training or walking around…?”
“Aside from us, he’s a kid who can’t mix words well, so wouldn’t there be a lot of things to do with other friends…?”
“That… Then how about this? That…”
“…Something like this, it seems like you are just talking about Yoo Chun-hwa in front of you. Let’s just stop here. Anyway, what is clear is that it is not true.”
I stopped because I was afraid Yoo Chun-hwa would be in too much pain.
It’s already sunk, but stop digging into painful spots…
Chunhwa Yoo’s life is already 0…
“That… That’s right… Me too… Without hesitation…..Sorry. Just looking at a topic like this burns me…”
“No… Well, I think it would be better to apologize to Chun-hwa, not here…”
“…As expected… Is that so…?”
“Huh?”
“You also… Don’t want to get involved with me that way…? I… Have become a nuisance…”
Tak.
Place your hand on your forehead.
How on earth can you talk like that again, Yoo Chun-hwa?
I can’t speak anymore.
“Don’t try to put yourself down too much. You have enough of your own charm.”
“…… Uh…”
“And, if rumors like that spread, I deserve more. Rather, it’s an honor.”
“…Ah… Ok… Stop it…”
Yoo Chun-hwa turns her head sharply and tries to walk away from me.
This is a bit heartbreaking.
I was just trying to lighten the mood, but I don’t think you hate it…
Well, if you say lines like that with a not-so-good-looking face, even I would hate it.
I can’t figure it out. What is a woman’s heart
Anyway, I think it’s a waste to rest comfortably today.
————————————————————————- —
“No… What the hell isn’t that… Aren’t they really dating…?”
“Ah, Miss Aria? Aren’t you too immersed? You should calm down a bit…”
“You look so real…!!! After you said that to me, the two of you are chatting again… I feel left out…”
“That’s true…”
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think the two of us think that way.
Rather than a dating relationship. An obsession… Kind of like that?
I don’t think the word romantic is a bit appropriate.
… To say such a thing. Reality is more like a novel than I thought…
Looking at the two of them again, it seemed as if Yoo Chun-hwa was about to move away.
She seemed to dislike it as she just shook it off, but when she momentarily turned her head, I saw her expression.
It’s like…
Shy…. Feeling like a loving girl…?
This gets complicated again…
“Hmm… I don’t think he knows at all… But… I don’t know. Well, wouldn’t the two of us figure it out somehow..?”
She wouldn’t have any influence on her, so she was Miyashima with the idea of just watching.
