167. obsession

***

The time of parting came sooner than expected.

Inside the busy facility, time passed quickly as the rabbits and other animals watched and chatted.

And now.

After leaving the facility and walking along the wide open road, I saw Karite, whose words had greatly decreased.

It seemed regretful that they had to part with each other now.

That feeling was clearly visible on her face, and it seemed that even I felt the same way.

“…that’s right. Han Chun-seong, you had another promise.”

“uh. I’m sorry… I want to spend the whole day with you, but actually, that was a promise.”

Even while answering, I felt a deep sense of regret.

Time spent close to 6 hours.

As I helped Karite grow, I was able to see even the fragments of my own growth.

After that, I was able to feel cozy and even a small amount of leisure, as if I were spending time together and calming my mind.

swish

Karite, who turned to me, looked at me clearly and gave me a soft smile. A smile so bright that I can’t even remember the moment I first met her. It was a happy smile nonetheless.

“no. I understand. It’s just that I forgot Because I heard you.”

“Because we can meet again next week. Let’s spend more time then.”

Even as I spoke, I made a promise for next weekend.

At that time, it would be after I overcome another crisis that came to me.

Then I thought that I would be able to pour my consciousness completely into Karite with a lighter heart than now. Maybe it will be a much better time than today.

“yes. okay.”

After replying briefly, Karite held out her right hand to me.

Let’s shake hands. Let’s shake hands. Lightly, let me also hold out my right hand.

snap.

She came to hold my hand.

“It was nice to be able to spend with you today. Because it was fun being together.”

“I feel the same way.”

A car that wanted to say a cool ending goodbye.

I could see her lips moving slightly.

ㅡNext time, surely more than now… … .

Her red lips moved silently for a moment.

Strangely, I had the illusion that I could hear a sound.

“Goodbye then.”

But that’s for a while. I nodded my head bewildered at her clear voice.

‘Was it my misunderstanding…?’

There’s no way Karite would suddenly say something like that.

Took.

Took.

The infirmary where the silence lingers. In such silence, only the sound of knocking on the table resonates quietly at regular intervals.

“… … .”

Adelia looked at the interior, which was dyed red by the sunset light coming through the window, and turned her head at a glance.

[5:51 p.m.]

The clock hanging on one side of the inner wall was slowly indicating the time that should be called evening. Even though it’s the weekend after a long time, I’m taking care of the infirmary now. Her feelings were just so strange.

“Originally, it’s a day to rest, but… .”

In the case of weekends, after making an agreement with the duty instructors of other classes, they agreed to keep each other for a certain amount of time, as if rotating.

But today, even though it wasn’t my turn, I was guarding the infirmary.

It was because there was a promise. Soon after, Cadet Han Chun-seong will come to the infirmary.

It was the only promise he made with Cadet Han Chun-seong, who was leaving the infirmary last week. By forcibly meeting her to check her body to make sure she wasn’t overdoing it.

Waiting for Cadet Han Chun-seong and guarding the infirmary now. I really couldn’t get my hands on anything.

No books, no medical research, no focus on character.

My mind is dull, and my body feels awkwardly stiff.

Took.

I knocked on the table again like a habit and rested my chin on it.

“I thought I had made up my mind now.”

It didn’t seem complete either.

A small disturbance casts a shadow on the mind.

“Put… .”

Then, a small laugh leaked out with her chin resting. Realizing my own heart felt like a very strange feeling even when I look back.

The fact that my heart changed like this in such a short time also felt like a big emotional change that I felt after a long time.

Even just a little over a year ago, I spent every day on the front line where every minute and every second was urgent.

There was never a day when my heart would calm down on the front lines. The time when someone was seriously injured, dying every day, and giving everything I had to help bring them back to life.

Back then, I was so busy that I didn’t even know how time was passing.

It could be said to be the busiest time of my life.

So at that time, I didn’t have any feelings or anything like that.

Just because there are injured and dying people in front of my eyes, my body and mind are endlessly exhausted just by treating them.

Took.

I knock on the table again and slowly calm myself down.

Now, unlike then, it was calm, but my heart was swaying like a big wave.

[5:56 p.m.]

As I realized that several minutes had passed since I was lost in my thoughts, I felt a completely different thrill in my heart.

The thrill of waiting for someone.

Even me… It was the first time.

This heart that can flutter with pure anticipation.

“When we meet… … .”

I thought about the schedule again about how to spend time with Cadet Han Chun-seong.

Originally, the meaning of making an appointment with Cadet Han Chun-seong was like a very simple promise to check his body and move on.

But now I had no intention of taking it lightly.

“…Take some time to check your body, and since it’s late now, you can naturally have dinner together. Wouldn’t it be best to end it by having a conversation while taking a walk together?”

I nodded my head as I was sorting out what I would do if I met Cadet Han Chun-seong.

It seemed like a light schedule, but it was a schedule that I could be satisfied with. And most of all, it was important that I didn’t feel like I was forcing anything on Cadet Han Chun-seong.

Naturally, I just had to slowly approach Cadet Han Chun-seong.

with this heart.

You just have to dye him with your own color.

“…”

The thought that followed made my lips tremble.

‘Becoming an instructor… trying to seduce a cadet.’

Thinking back on it, it was such an absurd idea. But while I was aware of that, I had no intention of changing my mind.

“And Cadet Han Chun-seong is the kind of person who can’t refuse.”

Even though he spoke lightly, he was confident.

My appearance, my ability, and my charm were felt by the opposite sex, I was definitely feeling it with my body.

‘To the opposite sex, I’m very… … .’

That there is a pretty fatal attraction.

That’s why I thought Cadet Han Chun-seong was no different.

When I thought of him who would accept me as he was if I secretly pushed him, a big smile leaked out.

On the other hand, my heart flutters even more. My gaze was always on the watch.

[5:59 p.m.]

A few more minutes passed.

It was soon

And just in time. A sound came through my sensitive senses.

that buck that buck… .

It was the sound of footsteps.

The sound of someone approaching the infirmary. And if there was anyone who would come to visit at this time, there was only one cadet, Chunseong Han.

Feeling nervous, I unknowingly licked my lips and swallowed my saliva.

‘I’m dealing with the agar cadets as usual.’

Just because I realized this feeling now, I thought it would feel rather strange if I suddenly treated him differently. Cadet Han Chun-seong was straight and like a white sheet of paper.

A student who was so clean and innocent that if someone colored the white paper, he would be dyed in his own color.

Then there was no need for me to approach so hastily now.

I don’t want to rush out or give you a sense of incongruity. I just need to slowly dye it with my color.

smart.

“Instructor Adelia. Are you there?”

“Yeah. Come right in.”

As soon as he answered the familiar voice, the door opened and the figure of Cadet Han Chun-seong was seen. Even though he wondered if he’d seen him in a few days, the appearance of Cadet Han Chun-seong hardly changed.

Black hair, straight features, and yet calm yet intelligent eyes.

The look I fell in love with seemed to catch my attention more as the days went by.

“First, Instructor Adelia. Thank you for taking the time this weekend.”

As soon as our eyes met, he bowed his head and showed courtesy.

‘Also.’

If they had spent so much time together, their attitude toward me might have been a little lax, but Cadet Han Chun-seong never lost his manners.

And that hasn’t changed even now.

“No. I made the appointment, so you don’t have to thank me for that. Once you’re comfortable, sit down. I’ll make tea first.”

“Yes. then… … .”

that buck

As Cadet Han Chun-seong entered the room, he slowly got up and started brewing tea while taking out a teacup prepared on the other hand.

Even so, when I glanced at Cadet Han Chun-seong, I sat down on the hospital bed where I had been sitting all the way last week, and a laugh suddenly leaked out.

“Cadet Han Chun-seong, too. You are no longer a patient. Then why are you sitting on the sickbed again?”

“ah. It felt most familiar here.”

“Then… what are you sitting there for? I’ll move the table and go there.”

As soon as the two teacups were set on the table, I moved the movable table and approached the window.

drooling.

My heart fluttered even louder with the sound of the wheels rolling on the table.

“… … .”

The appearance of Cadet Han Chun-seong, leaning gently on the hospital bed. The sunset light that came in through the window was shining on the cadet Han Chun-seong, and it looked different from before.

As if falling into the sunset sky, his eyes were wet with melancholy. It had an atmosphere that was not quite like a student.

It is calm and subtle, yet has a special charm that attracts women’s attention.

‘…Maybe I feel that way.’

Then, suddenly, I wondered if I was that much into Cadet Han Chun-seong.

good.

When he arrived in front of Cadet Han Chun-seong, he naturally set the table and pursed his lips.

“Isn’t the sunset so pretty even for Cadet Han Chun-seong?”

“Ah yes. The sky seen here felt familiar again.”

Cadet Han Chun-seong, who responded with a light smile, immediately accepted the teacup handed to him.

“thank you.”

“You don’t have to answer so harshly.”

I carefully set my teacup on the table and naturally sat down next to it.

“So, after going back to the classroom, Cadet Han Chun-seong. Are you following Instructor Kali’s lectures well?”

“Yeah. Fine. It was a little daunting on the first day when I had to keep up with the delayed lectures, but now I can say that I have been able to do it.”

He slowly nodded his head as he carefully raised his teacup and answered.

“…I’ll go right in after drinking tea, so for now, eat lightly.”

“Yes. All right.”

I replied calmly and when his lips touched the teacup, I also pressed my lips to the teacup.

Seruk.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Meeting each other’s eyes like that, drinking tea together… .

Even though it was nothing, I felt even a small happiness.

‘As expected, I want to monopolize it.’

so even more. I was sure of my heart.

I must

I’d have to have him… … .
