70. I don’t care about her, so you can take care of it

“I heard you don’t want to see me anymore, but don’t worry. Because your father loves you Even if there is no mother in the future, I will do my best to be with you.”

The absurd story from her father, the word that her mother, who had loved her so much until yesterday, abandoned her overnight.

Baek Hyun-seo didn’t believe it. No, he couldn’t believe it.

But there was nothing Baek Hyeon-seo could do.

-Koo Woo-wook…

She clenched her fists. And she talked

“Mother… She must have abandoned me…”

Baek Hyeon-seo, who was about to say something, glanced at Baek Ju-seok’s expression.

-Sueuk

“Are you ignoring your father and siding with her?”

Baek Joo-seok had a cold expression on his face. It’s like looking at trash.

Baek Hyeon-seo unknowingly covered her mouth.

Then the father’s eyes returned to him with kindness.

“Hyeon-seo, my father loves you. So I hope you don’t doubt or question what your father says. My father will do his best for you, so I hope Hyun-seo will trust him and follow him. Now that my mother is gone, I will make my father do better.”

At the point when her mother left, Baek Hyun-seo, who was afraid that even her father would leave, could only nod her head.

Several months have passed since my mother left.

Baek Hyun-seo missed her mother. I missed her. However, she couldn’t show it because it was obvious that her father would hate it. She couldn’t even comment. It’s just that Baek Hyun-seo was recreated every day. She said her mother had abandoned her.

I don’t know the reason or cause. Except that she fought with her father. She didn’t even know what conversation was going on while she was asleep. However, she had to accept. The person who will live with the girl from now on is the father.

Several years passed just like that.

Baek Joo-seok managed to play the role of her father well. He did everything without being enviable, especially in terms of money. However, he was strangely controlling Baek Hyeon-seo. He didn’t buy me a common cell phone, and he refrained from going out as much as possible.

Baek Hyun-seo was frustrated and curious about the world. However, she didn’t show it. Because that’s what my father likes. After her mother left, only her father was left in Baek Hyeon-seo’s world. When he leaves, there is no one around him.

After Baek had a big quarrel with Yuan Yu, he became coercive. When Baek Hyun-seo objected to his opinion or vomited, he got angry. He agreed and obeyed, and he gave that much love. That’s why Baek Hyeon-seo quietly followed his father. Because he only obeys, and if he endured, there was no problem.

‘I wish I had a friend…’

As time passed, Baek Joo-seok became more and more busy. His rank rose, and the more he did, the more time Baek Hyun-seo was alone. He missed He missed his mother, who had spent so much time with him.

As her longing deepened, she returned. She said her mother had only abandoned herself.

That’s how time passed again.

Baek Hyeon-seo no longer missed his mother. Self hypnosis. As a result of thinking to himself every day that her mother had abandoned him, he actually believed it himself.

She didn’t miss her mother anymore. She was resentful No matter how much she fought with her father, she resented her mother for running away from home like that.

Time passed again.

At some point, Ju-Seok Baek established the Hellmund Academy.

Baek Joo-seok became the president he wanted so much, and as time passed, the academy regained stability.

Helmund Academy has newly opened a ‘practical magic’ class, and the class has attracted quite a lot of attention since its opening. It was because of the instructor named ‘Choi Joo-won’.

“Hyeon-seo, you said you wanted to attend an academy, right? I will make your dreams come true.”

Baek Joo-seok began to withdraw control of Baek Hyeon-seo. Baek Hyun-seo is now able to meet other people. He was able to know the world. He is immature and inexperienced, but nevertheless he stands at the starting point where he can establish human relationships with people.

She was looking forward to her every day, thinking that she would have a friend as well.

“Are you seonseo?”

“Ah… How are you?”

“Are you in the beginner class like us? What do you like See NATUBE?”

“What is NATUBE?….”

“Ah… Don’t you know that? Then, who is your favorite celebrity?”

“I don’t watch TV…”

“Huh? Then, do you have a favorite cafe?”

“I’ve never been to a cafe before…”

“Huh… You are really unique. Then give me your phone number so we can talk more later.”

“I… I don’t have a phone…”

“…..”

However, it was difficult for Baek Hyeon-seo to get close to her friends as she was new to social activities. It was only natural, in a way, that she was left out of her group. She couldn’t get close to people.

Thanks to her father, she was admitted to the beginner class of Helmund Academy’s practical magic class, which everyone wants to enter, but she was still alone.

-Well

-Well

During lunchtime, she ate lunch alone every day on the roof of Helmund Academy. Until she found out that access to the rooftop was allowed, she used to skip lunch because she was embarrassed to eat alone. It was possible

Baek Hyeon-seo was eating alone as usual.

I was lonely.

I needed someone.

I needed someone to talk to.

A person you can talk to even if you don’t have a consensus.

Baek Hyeon-seo needed someone like that.

-Well well

-Jureureuk

Suddenly, tears flowed.

She entered the academy she wanted with difficulty, but it was not easy for her to get close to people.

Baek Hyeon-seo was going to have lunch on the roof like any other day.

-Kiik

She turned around at the sound of the rooftop door opening.

“Huh?…”

There was a man standing there. He is the instructor who teaches classes every day.

It was Choi Joo-won.

– Jeobeok Jeobeok

He casually walked over and sat down a little away from Baek Hyeon-seo.

-Click

Then, she took out the lunch she had brought.

“Uh…”

Baek Hyun-seo, embarrassed when he saw him sitting right next to him, made a stupid noise, but Choi Joo-won didn’t pay much attention and opened the lunchbox and ate it.

-Sueuk

After Baek Hyeon-seo finished eating his lunch box, Joo-won Choi got up and left the rooftop without a word.

The next day, and the day after that.

Joo-Won Choi just ate the lunch box next to her without saying a word.

-Well

-Well

At first, the instructor next to me was silent, but as time passed, I felt a sense of stability.

There was no need to talk. It was okay to not have to try to find common ground and to force things to be talked about in order to maintain the relationship. Choi Joo-won was always by his side, silently eating with them.

Not bad. The fact that someone was by my side made me feel secure. He liked not having to eat alone.

-Well

-Well

As time passed, Choi Joo-won’s actions, which were invisible at first, began to be seen one by one.

‘He seems to be a very considerate person.’

He always sits a little further away to avoid being a burden. As if he appealed that he didn’t come for you, he just wanted to eat on the rooftop.

Also, it adjusts the speed until Baek Hyun-seo finishes eating. It’s not about behaving rudely. He ate a little faster or a little slower than Baek Hyeon-seo, making them feel like they were eating together.

‘I think he’s a nice… Person.’

At the point where nearly a month had passed, Baek Hyun-seo looked at Joo-won Choi’s lunch box.

‘It must be delicious.’

Choi Joo-won’s lunch box was filled with not only various types of meat, but also shrimp, vegetables, and various sauces.

-Paan

As Baek Hyeon-seo stared blankly at her, Choi Joo-won finally spoke to her.

“If you want to eat, you can eat.”

“Gee… Really?”

Baek Hyeon-seo casually started a conversation with Joo-won Choi.

It was amazing.

I was always uncomfortable when talking to other people. I had to try to find common ground, and all relationships were difficult. However, this was not the case when talking with Choi Joo-won.

Is it because we’ve had lunch together for over a month? He was so comfortable

“Wow… This is really good…!”

Choi Joo-won looked at Baek Hyeon-seo eating food with satisfaction.

“I made it myself. How is it? Aren’t your cooking skills bad?”

Baek Hyun-seo nodded.

“I can share some in the future if you want.”

“Really?”

Baek Hyeon-seo only bought a lunch box every time with the money his father gave him, and he could count on the few hands he had ever eaten a lunch box he made with sincerity. That’s why Choi Joo-won’s proposal sparked interest.

“Of course. Instead, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Fu… If you could please, what would it be…”

“From now on, let’s say hello when we meet on the rooftop. What do you think?”

It was simple. In a way, it may have been what Baek Hyun-seo wanted so much.

“Joe… Great!”

Baek Hyeon-seo, she also made a friend for the first time.

After that, Choi Joo-won continued to take care of Baek Hyeon-seo. Thanks to her, she adjusted to her academy normally, and she no longer stood out among her friends.

Now, rice has also become a place to eat with her friends.

But she felt sorry at times. There were times when she missed Jeon because she felt like she had less time to be with Choi Joo-won.

At the same time, I got jealous.

“You have to properly review what I told you today, okay?”

Seeing Choi Joo-won treat other students kindly, her heart felt tight.

It was only then that Baek Hyun-seo realized.

Her first friend and her instructor who helped her.

That Baek Hyun-seo had a crush on him.

***

After a battle with Song Min-cheol’s guild, Wee Grove, Choi Joo-won came home.

Choi Joo-won lay down on her sofa and organized her thoughts.

‘Once Yang Han-gil, who ran away from the Blackgate incident, was ordered to be wanted nationwide, and in the case of Shim Ji-hyeok, there was no special punishment as it was recognized as self-defense. Min Hwa-yeon also kept the promise she made with me, so for now, all urgent matters have been resolved.’

Over 100 Weegrove guild members died. The guild side announced an official position that a big problem occurred while exploring the dungeon unreasonably, and said that it could not reveal what kind of problem it was due to internal circumstances.

Since it was not possible for outsiders to discuss matters within the guild, and it was not uncommon for guild members to die while exploring dungeons in the first place, the incident passed without much resistance.

‘Now, I have to start training my disciples again. Even though my forces have increased, there is still a reason why I need disciples.’

Choi Joo-won suddenly thought.

‘If you compare Hyeyeon Park and Mina Song in her talent, who will have the upper hand?’

It was simple curiosity. Although Song Min-ah is currently under the ‘harsh fate’ debuff, she was a girl with the greatest talent in magic even before that. If you look at her talent alone, she is said to be on the same level as Park Hye-yeon.

‘It’s a pity, she only took her talent from Song Min-ah, and she wished she could transplant it to someone else.’

Song Min-ah was a person who met all the conditions of a disciple that Choi Joo-won was looking for. If she had believed in Choi Joo-won, she would have stayed by her side for the longest time.

‘That is a useless idea. I’ll be living as a stranger anyway.’

She was the one who treated her so sincerely, but she texted her to die, let alone said a word of trust. Soon, Joo-Won Choi shook off all his thoughts.

“Whoa…”

Choi Joo-won rubbed his throbbing head with his hand.

For some reason, these days, the headache has started to get worse.

Are headaches caused by psychological problems because too many things are happening at once? Or is it because you overworked your body?

I don’t know why.

I was just rubbing my aching head.

Stress is coming.

There is so much to think about.

I don’t want to be involved with anyone anymore.

However, there are still a lot of things to be done.

At that time.

-Diririring

Choi Joo-won’s phone started ringing.

-Click

Choi Joo-won picked up her phone and asked a question.

“Who are you?”

Then, a woman’s voice was heard.

“It is the original journey.”

“Won Yeo-jeong? Who are you? How do you know me?”

Choi Joo-won does not know who Won Yeo-jeong is. By the time Baek Hyeon-seo entered the academy, it had already been a long time since her mother left.

She took a deep breath for a moment, and then she spoke to Joo-Won Choi.

“I am Baek Hyun-seo’s mother. She had something to tell the instructor, so she contacted me.”

-Stick

Her head hurts again.

“….”

She didn’t say anything. Because she seemed to die of high blood pressure. Then, Won Yeo-jeong did not care and talked.

“Instructor, I roughly understand that our seonseo was wrong. I’m thinking of talking to you later, but I want to ask your forgiveness before that. From the information I’ve gathered, it seems that Hyun-seo follows and likes you quite a bit. Hyunseo and I haven’t seen each other in a very long time. If I reconcile with you, the seonseo will think positively of me.”

“….Just tell me.”

I have no idea who the original traveler is. I couldn’t even understand what bullshit she was talking about. She did, so she asked. What bullshit is she talking about.

Won Yeo-jeong spoke.

“I want to reconcile you and Hyeon-seo. I don’t know exactly how much the seonseo did wrong, but I’ll compensate you with money as much as you want. I’ll give you plenty…”

“Money?”

The moment I heard that I would only compensate with money, the string of rationality was severed.

Choi Joo-won laughed and talked.

“Do you compensate with money?”

“….”

“How much can you give me? How much do you think I should ask for forgiveness for ruining people’s lives? How much do you have to pay for years of hard work and being betrayed by someone you trusted?”

“You’d better think calmly. You used to be an S-class instructor, but now you’re unemployed, and even if your charges are cleared, it’ll be difficult to come back. But I can give you a lot more money than you can imagine. We’ll do anything you want, so with our seonseo…”

Choi Joo-won interrupted Won Yeo-jeong and spoke quietly.

“F*ck you, I have enough money to rot, so if you’re going to compensate me, compensate for my time I wasted listening to your bullshit. And if you talk bullshit one more time, I won’t let you go, so I won’t let you go.
