Chapter 453: Our Hyunsung (5)

I felt heartbroken, thinking that I had hurt the lovely returner’s feelings.

If he asked what kind of situation we were in at the moment, my remorse would go away, but the innocent bastard was currently thinking about what he did wrong.

Whether or not he knew that the situation itself was a bit forced, I could see something similar to guilt on one side of his face.

‘It’s pretty understandable.’

In fact, there was plenty of room for misunderstandings to occur.

Even though I repeatedly refused his offer of taking me back to the dorm, he kept clinging to me, so rather than looking like a knight guarding the princess, he just looked like a horny delinquent.

If it were a woman who had gone through all sorts of things, she would’ve just let him do that, but from the standpoint of the cautious Light Kiyeon, it was not unreasonable for her to judge that he was harboring some evil intentions. This was even more so when I considered that we even had physical contact at the end.

‘He grasped and held my shoulder. Didn’t he even touch my belly? This wily bastard…’

Of course, our Hyunsung would’ve only done such actions to save me from falling, but since he touched her whole virgin body, he should take responsibility for it.

I had to stand my ground more firmly.

When I thought about it, a guy who had advanced magic power management knowledge could’ve held me without having to use his hand. I didn’t know if he had forgotten about it for a moment, but it was an unexpected mistake in a sudden situation.

He was probably aware of his mistake, too.

Of course, in spite of all those circumstances, his modest acceptance of my words made me lament.

‘He still couldn’t wake up even though he was backstabbed in the first round. This bastard.’

I even thought it was fortunate that he met me first. If a gold digger-like woman had stuck to him, it was natural to think that a big accident could happen.

There was nothing more terrible than an article with a title like ‘the Blue Guild Master’s alleged molestation crime’ running around at Lindel.

Of course, I had no intention of letting such an article go out. No, I couldn’t imagine he would be in that situation with other bitches in the first place.

However…

‘Think of it as learning social studies, Hyunsung.’

We didn’t know what could happen in life. I couldn’t be certain that it absolutely wouldn’t happen. Pain was but a blessing for the youth.

‘Yes. Pain is a blessing for the youth.’

I was sure he’d face a similar situation a few times in his life anyway.

It was better to experience pain that Light Kiyoung had arranged for him to grow than to go through a lot of pain later on.

‘I’m going easy on you.’

I nodded unconsciously at the rationalization. At that time, Kim Hyunsung seemed to be thinking about what to say.

“…”

‘I have to talk first.’

“Even though I clearly expressed my intention to refuse, you kept insisting, so I can only think that you’re treating me as a cheap woman.”

“There seems to be some misunderstanding. I…”

“I’ll admit that the atmosphere was good today, Blue Guild Master. I had fun… and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have that feeling. But not like this. I’m sorry if I’ve given you any room for misunderstanding. I never meant to. I am very grateful that you saved me and served me with a good meal, but if this were the price, it would have been better not to have helped me.”

“It’s not that.”

The atmosphere had now become colder.

“If you need a woman to spend the night with, find one elsewhere.”

“No.”

“I guess you usually do it this way? They say no one in the world is trustworthy… Were you planning to do this from the beginning?”

“No. Absolutely not, so…”

Naturally, I began to show off that I felt offended.

Hyunsung seemed puzzled about how to fix the situation. He probably felt like he had to explain somehow that this was a misunderstanding, but he was forced to keep silent while my words rushed in like wildfire.

He must have been thinking about whether he was rude or not. Of course, he wasn’t.

It was irrational to overreact the way I did to his action after he proposed to take me home.

The physical contact was to prevent me from falling, and the persistence of staying by my side was to protect me from danger.

In fact, rather than calling Kim Hyunsung a rude person, it was more appropriate to view Bitch Kiyeon as a sensitive person.

No, she was more like a crazy bitch.

However, Hyunsung looked like he had still been caught in the act.

Of course, what could be said to be the number one contributor to his reaction was my extreme acting ability. Not only did I bite my lips tightly, but I also had a few tears in my eyes.

Along with the expression of disappointment, I showed complex emotions engulfed in shame.

Did I have the look of a female protagonist who was betrayed by someone she believed in?

I couldn’t check my current expression with a mirror, but just by looking at Kim Hyunsung’s face, I was certain that my acting skills were good enough.

I didn’t even need to drag it too long. In truth, prolonging this would only put me at a disadvantage. It was better for me to hit and run.

“If I knew you were like this…”

“T-This is a misunderstanding. It wasn’t really intended in that way. I’m sorry if you’re already hurt, but… I hope you can believe me.”

“Are you really sure that you didn’t have anything else in mind?”

“…”

“…”

“Huh?”

“…”

‘You can’t stop there, you bastard. Even if you had, moron, you have to pretend you hadn’t.’

“I won’t deny that I was a bit interested.”

‘Hyunsung, you’re also a man, after all.’

It seemed like it was an interest the size of an ant’s nail, but he wasn’t lying. Even the way he lowered his head told the truth.

“I’m sorry. I sincerely apologize if I made you uncomfortable.”

‘No. Make some excuses. You shouldn’t be apologizing right away, Hyunsung. If you apologize in this situation, you will lose…’

The sincere apology made me feel even guiltier. After all, it took two to tango.

The other side needed to be moderately agitated or making excuses for me to keep arguing back. Even though it was unfair, he still chose a sincere apology instead of a petty excuse.

If I went a little further from there, the odd one would be Light Kiyeon.

In the end, I also had to give up one step. I didn’t even have time to play around like that in the first place.

“Sigh…”

“…”

“I got it. So, please raise your head.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No. Looking at you, it feels like I also misunderstood you. It seems that I had a shameful thought… even though you’re not like that. But… I hope you go back today.”

“…”

“I’m indeed a little drunk, but I’m not a three-year-old child. I’m undoubtedly a heroic-grade adventurer, and… how many times have I told you that I can go back to the dorm alone? I understand you’re worried, but I hope you know that too much kindness can be misleading. No, honestly, I’m still upset. Whatever your intentions were, I might find it insulting enough for me to accept them. I believe you know what I mean by that.”

“Of course, I know.”

“We had a good start. I want to finish it well. I am saying that I want us to leave a good impression on each other.”

“Yes.”

“I’d like to call it a day. I’m sorry.”

“No. Rather, I’m even sorrier. I apologize again.”

‘I’m telling you not to apologize…’

“Okay.”

‘I was being so careful. Fuck.’

I felt proud of myself for a moment, and thinking that I had solved a difficult mission, I nodded.

Kim Hyunsung had also become fully aware that stubbornness could be irrational. Although I was worried about whether he was following me or not, I knew that he wouldn’t do anything of the sort since he admitted that he made a mistake.

Perhaps looking from a distance was all he could do.

All that remained for me was to go back to the Crack Inn. My head was spinning, but I started to walk as quickly as possible.

There was no more time to delay.

Of course, I did my best to avoid falling or stumbling.

The moment I showed that I wasn’t fine even for a bit, he might come out and meddle with my affairs again.

My body and mind were already at their limits. The moment I loosened my guard, it felt like the effect would disappear like a popped bubble.

I bit my lips tightly. Every step I took was full of tension.

It felt like I was striding ahead, but I was worried about how I was looking from behind. As I went down the big stairs on the big road quickly, I worried that I would fall.

‘Fuuuck… I think I’m doomed…’

My body stumbled momentarily.

I was able to hold onto the railing and miraculously endure the ugly appearance, but absurdly enough, one of my shoes had come off.

‘I’m not even Cinderella, fuck!’

“Kiyeon! Your shoes…”

I heard the voice calling me from behind, but I was sure I shouldn’t react to it.

‘He’s still watching. This stalker bastard. Please go home!’

There was too little time to go back.

At that moment, I had no choice but to hope that he wouldn’t do anything useless like passing me the shoes. I didn’t know if this was unfortunate or fortunate, but it seemed like he was not thinking about doing that.

Although I felt something in the back, I moved quickly without looking back.

‘Please…’

The Crack Inn, which felt so far away, was now getting closer.

It felt like I was soon going to lose my focus, so I hurried up as much as possible.

‘Please!’

I opened the door.

“Good night. Welcome to the Crack Inn!”

“Legendary-grade. Room. Quickly, please.”

“Ah… Yes.”

“I don’t need change.”

After throwing a bunch of gold coins, I went straight up.

“Check-in…”

“I will go up right now.”

“Certainly.”

“Room number?”

“I’ll guide…”

“I don’t need it. Just please say it q-quickly.”

“O-Okay.”

‘If he’s sane, he won’t follow me to the inn.’

However, I couldn’t relax until I actually entered the room.

I couldn’t really figure out what happened. It felt like my head was becoming blank, and I also felt like I wanted to pee.

After I said I didn’t need a guide, I immediately entered the room, and before long, I was able to reach the safe space with a bang.

“Safe…”

That was when all the magic power in my body was drained.

As I turned my head and checked the mirror, a familiar man was reflected right in front of me.

In fact, the appearance of Light Kiyeon also didn’t look bad, but I certainly liked my true appearance more.

I sighed deeply.

My bare feet bothered me, but I started to smile, thinking I had accomplished my mission brilliantly.

‘Everything has been perfect.’

It would’ve been a more perfect expedition if Kim Hyunsung didn’t make the fuss about finding the shoe owner.
