EP.66 2 Weeks (1)

[Jin Se-rin: 1 missed call, unread messages!]

[Seo Eun-ha: 65 missed calls, unread messages!]

[Kim Ju-hee: 3 missed calls, unread messages!]

“……”

A mountain of messages and missed calls.

Kang Seo-jun decided to check the messages from Jin Se-rin first.

[Jin Se-rin: What are you doing?] / Yesterday at 5:49 PM

[Jin Se-rin: (Frog with a question mark emoji)] / Yesterday at 5:52 PM

[Jin Se-rin: Want to go eat?] / Yesterday at 5:53 PM

[Jin Se-rin: Are you sleeping?] / Yesterday at 8:20 PM

[1 missed call – Jin Se-rin] / Yesterday at 8:23 PM

[Jin Se-rin: I guess you’re sleeping…] / Yesterday at 8:49 PM

[Jin Se-rin: Good night!] / Yesterday at 9:12 PM

[Jin Se-rin: Contact me!] / Yesterday at 10:09 PM

[Jin Se-rin: (Angry frog emoji)] / Yesterday at 10:10 PM

These were just casual messages.

However, from the context, Kang Seo-jun could sense Jin Se-rin’s gradient of anger, so he quickly sent a reply.

[Kang Seo-jun: Sorry, sorry. I was doing mana cultivation and just saw this.] / 6:04 AM

– Ding! –

Surprisingly, the reply came immediately.

[Jin Se-rin: ㅡ.ㅡ I was worried!]

[Jin Se-rin: Next time, if you’re going to be out of contact for more than 5 hours, tell me in advance!]

[Jin Se-rin: Promise!]

[Jin Se-rin: (Angry frog emoji)]

It felt like the number of promises was increasing.

What was the promise he made last time when he collapsed from drug overdose and fatigue?

Never to get hurt like that again.

And to never hide anything from Jin Se-rin, no matter where he went.

Now, if he’s going to be out of contact for more than 5 hours, he has to inform her in advance…

The promises keep piling up… If he doesn’t write them down somewhere, he might forget.

[Kang Seo-jun: Got it. I promise.]

[Jin Se-rin: Good♥♥♥♥♥]

[Jin Se-rin: (Happy frog emoji)]

[Jin Se-rin: What are you going to do today?]

The academy was still closed due to Park Shin-hoo’s kidnapping.

In such a situation, an ordinary cadet might spend their time studying, training, or enjoying hobbies.

However, for Kang Seo-jun, hobbies were a luxury, and studying was unnecessary due to the Eye of Providence, leaving training as the only option.

Morning for physical training. Evening for mana cultivation.

This was Kang Seo-jun’s routine during the break.

[Kang Seo-jun: If nothing comes up, I’ll go to the training ground to exercise.]

[Jin Se-rin: I’ll join you! Let’s have breakfast together too!]

[Kang Seo-jun: Okay, see you at the cafeteria at 7:30.]

[Jin Se-rin: No! I’ll barge into your room at 7!]

[Kang Seo-jun: …Alright. I’ll leave the door open.]

[Jin Se-rin: Okay! I’m going to shower now!]

“……”

Exchanging messages like this made him feel the closeness of their relationship.

At first, Jin Se-rin found Kang Seo-jun intimidating, but now she could easily get angry and joke around frequently.

‘It’s a good change.’

Of course, some might find it tiring that she wanted to be involved in everything he did and got upset if they didn’t communicate for a few hours.

But…

‘I’m a man who will one day build a proud harem. I won’t feel tired from just one heroine.’

Stamina and willpower were essential virtues for a harem.

‘Sigh… But there’s a problem…’

If there was one issue.

‘How do I get Se-rin to accept that I want to date multiple women at the same time…’

He had no intention of secretly two-timing or having multiple relationships behind their backs.

Kang Seo-jun wanted to show his heroines his most sincere self, without causing them pain, and giving them a happy life.

Some might argue that aiming for multiple relationships was far from ensuring the heroines’ happiness…

‘Isn’t it obvious that polygamy is happier than monogamy? That’s already determined at the genetic level.’

The belief that monogamy was normal was just modern society’s gaslighting.

Whether this firm conviction stemmed from Kang Seo-jun’s desires or his superhuman willpower of ’32’ was unknown.

‘Well, I’ll think about this later.’

For now, there wasn’t a clear solution, but an opportunity would come someday.

When that time came, he would start by slowly seeking permission for a two-timing relationship.

With these thoughts, Kang Seo-jun checked Seo Eun-ha’s messages next.

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun, did you get back safely?] / The day before yesterday at 4:14 PM

[Kang Seo-jun: Yes. The academy is on break, so I’m at the dormitory now.] / The day before yesterday at 4:32 PM

[Seo Eun-ha: Confirmed. Please contact me anytime if you need anything. I’ll be waiting.] / The day before yesterday at 4:32 PM

These were the messages exchanged the day before yesterday after he captured Credo and returned to the dormitory.

Kang Seo-jun scrolled down to read the unread messages.

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun, is everything alright?] / Yesterday at 9:40 PM

[Seo Eun-ha: I was concerned that there might be a tail following you after yesterday’s battle with the demons.] / Yesterday at 9:41 PM

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun.] / Yesterday at 9:59 PM

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun…?] / Yesterday at 10:28 PM

[6 missed calls – Seo Eun-ha]

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun, please contact me when you see this.] / Yesterday at 11:52 PM

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun.] / Today at 12:08 AM

[Seo Eun-ha: 1] / Today at 12:24 AM

[Seo Eun-ha: 1] / Today at 12:24 AM

[Seo Eun-ha: 1] / Today at 12:24 AM

…

[Seo Eun-ha: You’re not in the dormitory either… Where are you?] / Today at 1:42 AM

[7 missed calls – Seo Eun-ha]

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun.] / Today at 3:29 AM

[9 missed calls – Seo Eun-ha]

[GPS location sharing request. Not in service area. Connection failed.] / Today at 3:54 AM

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun.] / Today at 3:54 AM

[Seo Eun-ha: Seo-jun, I can’t help but feel uneasy. Please contact me as soon as you see this.] / Today at 3:56 AM

[11 missed calls – Seo Eun-ha]

[Request from Seongjin HQ. GPS location forcibly transmitted according to terms. Not in service area. Connection failed.] / Today at 4:15 AM

[Seo Eun-ha: Seoj] / Today at 4:16 AM

[Seo Eun-ha: I’ll definitely find you and bring you back.] / Today at 4:16 AM

[32 missed calls – Seo Eun-ha]

“Oh! What is this!”

Seo Eun-ha’s gradient panic was unfolding.

From the content, it seemed she had done everything possible to find the unresponsive Kang Seo-jun, including visiting the dormitory and tracking his smartwatch GPS.

It appeared she mistakenly thought Kang Seo-jun had been kidnapped by demons.

“The 65 missed calls were already a bad sign. Oh! If she reports this to the association, it will become a real hassle!”

Naturally, there were demon spies within the association.

If the news that Seo Eun-ha, who had killed Kim Hak-yong, a spy from the Red Cross Society, was suddenly looking for an unrelated academy cadet reached the demons?

The perceptive demons would surely try to uncover the reason.

Of course, the demons’ primary focus was currently on Park Shin-hoo, so they might not pay much attention to Seo Eun-ha’s actions now.

“But I can’t handle this carelessly.”

Kang Seo-jun quickly sent a reply before Seo Eun-ha could cause any major trouble.

[Kang Seo-jun: Eun-ha! I’m fine! I was just in an out-of-service area for a bit!] / 6:12 AM

The response came back in less than a second.

[Seo Eun-ha: What?]

[Kang Seo-jun: Yes. No.]

[Kang Seo-jun: What happened overnight?]

[Kang Seo-jun: I saw you even tried GPS tracking. You didn’t report me missing to the association or police, did you?]

[Seo Eun-ha: No, I didn’t.]

[Kang Seo-jun: Phew. You didn’t, right…?]

[Seo Eun-ha: I didn’t.]

[Seo Eun-ha: Ah]

[Kang Seo-jun: Did you stay up all night? I should have informed you beforehand. It’s natural for you to be worried.]

“……?”

The replies that had been coming instantly were now quite delayed.

‘…Is she angry?’

Kang Seo-jun scrolled up, wondering if he had said something wrong.

Soon, he found the reason for Seo Eun-ha’s delayed response.

[Seo Eun-ha: Message deleted.]

[Seo Eun-ha: Message deleted.]

[Seo Eun-ha: Message deleted.]

.

.

.

Seo Eun-ha had been manually deleting the messages she sent throughout the night.

‘…I already saw them, so what’s the point of deleting them now?’

About three minutes later, Seo Eun-ha’s reply finally came.

[Seo Eun-ha: …I’m sorry for causing a commotion.]

Seeing her obvious embarrassment, Kang Seo-jun quickly responded.

[Kang Seo-jun: No, it’s understandable to be worried given what happened. It’s my fault for not informing you beforehand.]

When there was no immediate reply, Kang Seo-jun added another message.

[Kang Seo-jun: Thank you for worrying about me.]

“……”

[Seo Eun-ha: Typing a message…]

……

[Seo Eun-ha: Typing a message…]

……

“?”

It seemed like Seo Eun-ha was writing and deleting her message repeatedly.

After about 8 to 10 minutes, a reply finally came.

[Seo Eun-ha: Please keep in touch more often.]

Did she really take that long to decide on this?

Kang Seo-jun replied immediately.

[Kang Seo-jun: Yes. I’ll let you know in advance if I won’t be reachable. I promise.]

[Seo Eun-ha: I’m sorry.]

[Seo Eun-ha: Thank you.]

With that, the chat ended.

Next time he entered the dimensional rift, he would make sure to inform both Jin Se-rin and Seo Eun-ha in advance.

It wasn’t a difficult task.

‘Now, the last one.’

[Kim Ju-hee: 3 missed calls, unread messages!]

It was time to check Kim Ju-hee’s messages.

‘What could the instructor have wanted to tell me, calling three times?’

Maybe she wanted to teach him a special exercise?

Kang Seo-jun moved his fingers to check the last remaining messages.

[Kim Ju-hee: Message deleted…] / Yesterday at 9:49 PM

[Kim Ju-hee: Message deleted…] / Yesterday at 9:52 PM

[Kim Ju-hee: Message deleted…] / Yesterday at 9:58 PM

[1 missed call – Kim Ju-hee]

.

.

.

“……?”

Why are there so many deleted messages?

Kang Seo-jun activated the Eye of Providence to check the deleted messages.
