chapter 21
21 – Have you ever felt déjà vu? [EPISODE-1]
I could see Park Jin-ha, who had stabbed me, now prostrate himself in front of me, begging for forgiveness.
To be honest, it seemed very servile and really sincere reflection.
Thanks to that, I don’t feel like my anger has subsided to some extent, but I was still quite angry right now.
When I met Park Jin-ha, I explained everything to Park Jin-ha.
Saying that we had no reason to fight, that it was just a coincidence, I wasn’t ready for battle at all.
I spared no effort to somehow solve it through dialogue.
However, even though I spoke so desperately, Park Jin-ha did not listen to me.
I didn’t listen and according to my own judgment, I stabbed my stomach with a knife.
It was no ordinary knife either.
One thing I was sure of while fighting Park Jin-ha is that Park Jin-ha definitely has S-class powers.
For Park Jin-ha to pick a knife, it’s like an S-class hunter to pick a knife.
What happens when an S-class picks a knife? It is impossible for the body to be fine in the first place.
An S class who is evaluated as a monster, the attacks of such a person are never light.
Originally, he could never survive, and even if he did, he might have to live with a disability for the rest of his life.
I’m alive now because of the [Hero] skill, and because Park Jin-soo arrived on time, I didn’t die like this right now.
However, now I still have terrifying thoughts.
What if Park Jin-soo had arrived a little late?
In that case, I must have died.
No matter how misunderstood it is, by the hand of a girl.
Thinking like that, honestly, unfair feelings came flooding back.
No matter how misunderstood you are, no matter how good-hearted you are
Being close to taking one’s life is never light.
So, I had a little bit of a bad heart while watching Park Jin-ha.
“Are you really going to do anything I ask you to do?”
I looked down at Park Jin-ha coldly and asked.
With her red hair at my feet, she was crying and begging me for forgiveness.
“… yes…”
Park Jin-ha calmly answered my question with his head down.
There was sincerity in his trembling voice.
“…”
Looking at Park Jin-ha like that, I thought for a moment.

Just as Park Jin-ha said he would do anything, I had to decide what to do about what Park Jin-ha did to me, whether I like it or not.
“You’re Jinha, right? I’ve heard a lot from Jinsu.”
“… yes…”
“They say she’s a very nice and smart little sister.”
“…”
I first talked to Park Jin-ha.
Park Jin-ha listened to me and raised his face. Her face was full of tears, but her eyes still couldn’t meet.
“Mr. Jinha. Mr. Jinha. Didn’t I say I’m not an enemy?”
“… sorry.”
“You know I’m very angry with Jinha right now, right?”
“… yes.”
“You know how this could have been really big, right?”
“… yes.”
I still had an apologetic expression on my face, but I continued to talk with Park Jin-ha.
“If that happens, you know that our Shi-eun will be left alone, right?”
“…yes.”
“Did Jin-ha kill me so that my Si-eun would almost be left alone in the world?”
“… yes…”
“Why did you do that?”
As my inquiry continued…
“I was so… so anxious. When I heard that my brother was in danger, I was so… anxious… Ugh…”
And soon, with tears once again, he began begging me for forgiveness.
“Ehh.”
Well, I feel like things are starting to make a little sense now.

Jin-ha Park became sensitive because Jin-soo Park had a gate accident a while ago.
Well, I can sympathize with Lee Si-eun to some extent, since I wouldn’t hesitate to do anything if something like this happened to me.
“Jinha. You’re 17 now, right?”
“yes…”
I asked Park Jin-ha about his age.
Park Jin-ha replied yes in a trembling voice.
I was the same age as Lee Si-eun.
But the appearance was completely different.
Looking at Lee Si-eun and Park Jin-ha, who are next to me now, in turns, I can clearly feel the difference between the two.
Compared to Lee Si-eun, who is a little smaller than her peers at the same age, Park Jin-ha was amazing in many ways, as if her growth period had already ended.
However, in the end, it feels like a child is a child.
Their appearances are very different, but since they are the same age as my younger sister, Lee Si-eun seemed to overlap.
“…”
Coincidentally, I looked to the side and there was Lee Si-eun, who was waiting for my answer while holding me tight.
His eyes widened and he looked curious about what answer I would give.
I smiled at Lee Si-eun and told Park Jin-ha.
“Jinha, don’t look so depressed. I’m kidding.”
I smiled heartily.
It’s like saying ‘It was a hidden camera until now’.
In fact, I had no intention of blaming Park Jin-ha that way from the beginning, and above all, nothing would change if I specifically blamed him.
Of course, if I express my anger toward Park Jin-ha, my feelings may be relieved to some extent.
But right now, Lee Si-eun was watching from the side, so I couldn’t be out of shape.
Of course, to be honest, I’m not that kind of a person, and I don’t want to forgive him.
No matter what, I almost died in the end, and Park Jin-ha’s fault in the process was quite big.
If it was originally normal, I would never have passed it.
In one way or another, compensation would have been received.
However, the reason I just let it pass was because of Lee Si-eun right next to me.
I couldn’t show weakness in front of Lee Si-eun.
I always showed a strong image in front of Lee Si-eun.
That way, Lee Si-eun won’t worry.
In fact, this is the reason Sieun Lee never sleeps and waits for me when I am working as a hunter in the first place, even when I sometimes come in late.
Lee Si-eun couldn’t sleep because she was worried that something would happen to me.
In the past, when I first worked as a hunter, those things were much more intense than they are now, but after I pretended to be strong for a few years, it got better.
I couldn’t pretend to be sick in front of Lee Si-eun and blame Park Jin-ha.
If I get angry with Park Jin-ha, my anger will be resolved, but Lee Si-eun’s worries are added to that much.
That’s something I’m never happy with, and it was the first thing I did as a hunter to not worry Lee Si-eun.
“Actually, I wasn’t hurt too much. I’ll forgive you.”
“… yes?”
Park Jin-ha asked me one more time as if he hadn’t heard me well.
“You became sensitive because Jinsu was in danger. I’ll forgive you.”
“…”
“But don’t do that next time.”
I smiled once more and answered Park Jin-ha.
“Black…”
Again.
And with these words, Park Jin-ha started to shed tears once again.
huh?
I forgave you, but why are you crying?
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
Park Jin-ha.
To Park Jin-ha, Lee Si-woo was a benefactor from the beginning.
He was an irreplaceable benefactor who saved his brother from danger while Park Jin-ha was gone.
He was definitely a benefactor who had to repay the favor over and over again.
“I… will you really forgive me?”
“Yes. I will forgive you.”
However, Park Jin-ha could not repay the favor.
Instead of repaying the favor, he repaid it with an indelible enemy.
No matter how much he didn’t know, stabbing Lee Si-woo in the stomach was absolutely unforgivable.
“I did a bad thing… to my brother’s benefactor…”
“You did it because you didn’t know. I understand.”
Park Jin-ha was so angry with himself.
Park Jin-ha, purely because of a misunderstanding and impatience, tried to kill the irreplaceable benefactor who had saved her brother.
If he had been more calm, this would not have happened.
However, Park Jin-ha couldn’t do that, and because of that, Lee Si-woo collapsed.
his sister screamed.
Watching it, I fell into a deep sense of guilt and shame.
That’s why Park Jin-ha asked for forgiveness.
He apologized to Siwoo Lee for his mistake.
I begged you to forgive me
“It’s a really bad bitch. If it’s wrong…”
“Jinha is a good person. And it’s not wrong.”
However, I never thought that I would receive an apology that was so heartfelt that I begged so much.
If I had to change my stance, it would never have happened.
If Park Jin-ha were placed in the opposite situation, Park Jin-ha would have torn Lee Si-woo to death.
“Will you really forgive me?”
“Yes. Of course.”
Because of this, I was prepared for any punishment.
A shameful punishment, a painful punishment.
He was determined to endure any punishment.
However, Lee Si-woo did not punish Park Jin-ha.
Instead of punishing him, he comforted Park Jin-ha.
Don’t worry too much…
“Huh…”
Park Jin-ha’s emotions were uncontrollable like a dam that had just burst.
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
“Thank you thank you.”
Right now Park Jin-ha is crying in my arms.
Like it’s very, very sad.
“Siwoo-san… No, Siwoo-nim. I’ll follow you for the rest of my life. I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life.”
Park Jin-ha’s face was already covered with tears and runny nose.
My patient gown got dirty in no time.
“Ahaha… it’s okay. Let go of this.”
I know it’s touching, but I removed Park Jin-ha as much as possible.
Park Jin-ha’s appearance was very pretty and cute enough to be said to be a celebrity, but it was too dirty now.
‘what? But does this sound like deja vu?’
It was a strangely familiar sight.
I immediately recognized the identity of this familiar sight.
“Siwoo hyung… Big hoop…”
Looking to the side, I could see Park Jin-soo swallowing tears from a little distance away.
Come to think of it, I think Park Jin-soo did this to me.
The déjà vu was not my illusion.
The appearance of Park Jin-ha now overlapped with the appearance of Park Jin-soo before.
The siblings also seem to look alike.
