chapter 42
042. Hate it but find it
Sometimes, some people just want to remember something for a long time.
Sometimes I obsessively search for something related to it.
Despite hating it so much.
Kang Do-hee also had two such things.
Her role model, the head of the Parandis guild.
I started looking for things because I didn’t want to forget that person, because I wanted to be like him.
Kang Do-hee’s personal story is by completely cutting off these two things.
It depicts the process of Kang Do-hee breaking up with the shadows of her past and standing upright as herself.
Unsurprisingly, one of them is cigarettes.
Since the head of the Parandis guild was her smoker who had her cigarette in her mouth, Kang Do-hee started burning it after her.
‘Well, in the case of cigarettes, I didn’t like them at first, but now it’s like my only hobby, so I ended up enjoying it.’
In the case of smoking cessation, she succeeds only at the end of her personal story.
There was a high possibility that it would only raise antipathy if it was touched hastily.
‘So, pass the cigarettes for now. But, I think I might be able to touch the other one now.’
I’m not trying to completely throw it away right now.
But at least I wanted to erase the world’s painful expression while looking for it.
I brought Kang Do-hee to the convenience store attached to the dormitory to find what she was aiming for. Kang Do-hee put on a puzzled expression as if he hadn’t expected that the place he brought to to repay was a convenience store.
“Why were you disappointed that it wasn’t really expensive?”
I said with a smile.
She shook her head and straightened her face.
“No, I rather like it.”
Convenience stores are positive places for Kang Do-hee. Because there was no other place as convenient as this place for her who hates her troubles.
“Let’s go in.”
I led her through the door of her convenience store and entered the furthest part of her stride.
And the place we arrived was right in front of the beverage refrigerator.
There, I looked at the compartments lined with canned drinks.
“Hmm, that must be somewhere here… …. “
I blinked my eyes in the corner.
“Oh, I found it.”
What I was looking for was a drink of particular taste that the guild leader enjoyed.
A canned beverage printed with light green leaves.
‘Sol’s Eye’
It was a pine needle-flavored drink that people liked and disliked.
I took out two cans of the drink and looked back at Kang Do-hee.
“This is what I like.”
Then Kang Do-hee’s eyes shook like an earthquake.
“…… This?”
I nodded.
‘Well, to be honest, it’s a drink I’ve come to like.’
Kang Do-hee In her personal story, every time she drinks this, she looks like she’s inhaling some kind of poison, so she went to the convenience store wondering what the hell it would taste like.
But there was no convenience store in my neighborhood, so I had a box delivered online.
And honestly…….
Well, it will be rude to the beverage company, so I won’t go into detail.
It was clear that it just wasn’t my taste.
‘But there’s another way to enjoy this.’
Anyway, I impulsively ordered a box of drinks.
I had to deal with it somehow, so I researched ways to enjoy it and combinations.
I took my share and Kang Do-hee’s two and headed towards the snack section.
And I picked up a brown, cylindrical cookie.
Choco Daize.
Intense chocolate flavor and crunchy sweets.
It was a snack that had its own fan base.
“If you eat this with this drink, it is really delicious.”
He said that while looking at Kang Do-hee, but her gaze did not let go of Sol’s eyes.
One piece of Daije chocolate. I took two cans of Sol’s Eyes and went to pay.
For a moment, I looked up with an expression as if I was serious about being a part-timer at a convenience store, but what?
“Card here, please. Oh, and would you like a cigarette too?”
“…… No it’s okay.”
Kang Do-hee answered in a somewhat subdued voice.
We went outside and sat down at a simple table.
Jjiik─
Click.
I opened the packaging of Daize and opened the can.
First, start with a demonstration.
Take a bite of the thick biscuit and immediately after that take a sip of Sol’s eye.
‘Oh, this is the taste.’
It’s like harmony within disharmony.
If you really have this combination, you can eat 10 boxes of Sol’s Eyes.
“Now, try it.”
Next, let’s extend Sol’s eyes to Kang Do-hee.
She stared at this blankly and soon accepted it as her face, solidifying her resolve.
Click.
The first thing I ate was sweets.
Buseok─
She twitched her brows for a moment at the sweetness of the chocolate and the slightly overly chewy texture of the snack.
‘Still, the snack itself is delicious. If you eat a lot, you won’t be able to eat even if you get tired.’
The important thing is the following.
Kang Do-hee glared at Sol’s eyes as if he were an enemy of life and death, then closed his eyes tightly and gulped down.
Kokkap─
“Uh…… ?”
She opened her eyes, which had been closed.
Then she looked at me with her bewildered face.
“How is it, eating like this makes it more edible than I thought?”
“…… Not bad.”
I raised the corner of her mouth to see her reaction.

After the mine misunderstanding incident.
Kang Do-hee has been observing Jin Yoo-ha for quite some time.
It’s natural for men to have weak physical abilities, but crazy physical abilities that follow right behind them.
How about his specialty, swordsmanship?
She didn’t know much about swords, but she could tell that the sword Jin Yuha wielded was not an ordinary swordsmanship.
And it seemed that his level had risen after just three weeks of training.
If I had to describe him in one word…….
A smirking personality.
No luck.
Dirty shameless.
‘Bitick bastard.’
Once during a joint training session, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked him.
─ Well, how do you do that?
─ What?
─ Command.
Apart from the occasional overlapping of the guild leader on his face (of course, strangely, the frequency of overlapping increased when watching the video, perhaps because his sensitivity was increased at night.)
To be honest, his commanding ability was better than that of the guild leader.
No, it wasn’t just better, it was a skill close to art.
Because I even thought that if I was under his command, I might know more about my skills and limitations than myself.
So even she couldn’t get past that part without asking.
But in response, she said, Jin Yu-ha.
“Hmm? That? Can I just do it?”
“… ….”
The guy who adds that he doesn’t understand when he doesn’t seem to understand.
“It’s easy. Anyone can do it. Just a basic memory and judgment?”
“No luck.”
As expected, this child is different from the guild leader.
Dirty shameless and unlucky.
However, it was also true that he felt a sense of nostalgia that could not be ignored, so Kang Do-hee decided to join Jin Yu-ha’s party.
And the more I got to know him, the clearer it became that he and the guild leader were completely different people.
Even from the black snake that sent videos every day, no more emails came.
Perhaps that person got the news that Jin Yu-ha is not a demon.
To be honest, I was a little disappointed.
Anyway, like that, Kang Do-hee was gradually separating the two and gaining a sense of appropriate distance.
…… But.
This time, when he saw the drink she held out, she couldn’t help but put on a bewildered expression.
‘Sol’s Eye’
Choi Hye-seo A drink that guild leader loved to drink.
I used to stop by her convenience store and buy a drink whenever I thought of her, but
A strange taste that you never get used to.
Starting with a trivial question of whether this was made to be sold to Songchungi, not a human,
To the fundamental question of why a drink should taste like pine needles.
I’m sure there will never be anyone other than the guild leader who eats this for taste.
I thought so.
Suddenly, Jin Yu-ha said that she likes the drink, and she brought it out to herself.
‘…… What the hell is he?’
Kang Do-hee couldn’t help but look at Jin Yu-ha with a confused face.
* * *
Well well
Kolkkokkokkak─
Kang Do-hee seemed to really like this combination and repeated the process of taking a bite of the snack and drinking again.
I wanted to watch mukbang like this.
I was happy to see him
Her I suddenly thought of her and asked her.
“Oh, that’s right. Ganghee Kang. Have you decided in advance how to register for classes?”
Then, while munching on snacks, she held out her cell phone to me.
The moment she saw the timetable she held out.
In an instant, curses almost came out of my mouth.
“…… Crazy.”
In the end, it came out of my mouth.
Right after breaking up with Kang Do-hee and returning to the dorm.
I immediately turned on my phone.
