41 – crack in relationship

Last day of dungeon practice week.

finish the practice.

Kim Soo-han is burning tobacco in front of the portal.

“Whoa.”

Watching him breathe smoke,

Cha Yoo-ra, who was standing next to her, said with a frown.

“…no, a little”

Cha Yu-ra covered her nose.

He shook his hand to clear the smoke and continued.

“I want you to quit smoking.”

nagging every time.

Kim Soo-han also replied in a sharp tone, probably feeling fed up.

“Don’t say it lightly when you’ve never smoked. Do you know that this can be cut off so easily?”

“Lee Hyeon-seong cut it off easily?”

Lee Hyun-sung’s sudden mention.

When the name of the guy who had been bothering me recently popped out, Kim Soo-han’s caterpillar-like eyebrows suddenly twitched.

“Why are you talking about that bastard all of a sudden?”

“That was an example. Just like her, you should harden your will and quit.”

The conversation between the two is cut off for a moment.

A chilly atmosphere prevailed.

“…”

After bouncing the butt on the floor.

Kim Soo-han smokes another cigarette.

His appearance was like a silent rebellion.

Cha Yoo-ra seems familiar.

He sighed briefly and spoke.

“done. Do whatever you feel like. Instead, don’t smoke near me.”

I want to kill you just by smelling it.

Cha Yu-ra, swallowing those thoughts, turned around and left.

“… Damn it.”

Kim Soo-han just clicked his tongue as he looked at her from behind.

I had no intention of catching him.

What’s wrong with being a heroine?

A relationship that understands each other by sharing pain and sorrow?

A relationship that slowly blossoms in love while going through adversity and hardship together?

All such emotional exchanges are useless.

What is heroin?

Consumables that are simply used as desired next to the main character.

It was nothing more and nothing less.

At least, that was what Kim Soo-han thought.

‘Heroine is an asshole. I can’t even eat…’

More than anything.

Cha Yoo-ra’s strategy is not herself, but her father.

In other words, gaining the trust of the guild leader of a large guild was an important point.

It was said that there was no need to adjust to Cha Yu-ra individually.

‘I need to proceed with the next event quickly.’

Still, I was a little anxious.

One of the main heroines.

Because my relationship with Seo Han-bit has been estranged lately.

‘Should I just throw away that bitch…’

Kim Soo-han pondered briefly.

And.

Rather than repairing a relationship that had already cracked, it was decided that the relationship that still remained should be woven more tightly.

Of course, it would be a lie if I said that it was not a waste to lose the light of Seo Han…

‘Because there is not only Seo Hanbit as a healer.’

There were four more healers in the same grade, so it wasn’t a big problem.

‘If I have time, shall I flirt with Kim Young-ji?’

Substitutes are plentiful.

***

The thought of Cha Yu-ra, who was walking around the academy empty lot, deepened.

‘Why are you so unhappy today?’

Soo-Han Kim.

A man his father is watching.

Satisfying him to recruit him into the guild has gradually reached its limit.

Until now, I thought it was going to be like that and passed it on…

lately.

The conversation he had with Lee Hyeon-seong continued to linger in his head and changed Cha Yoo-ra’s thoughts.

[Lee Hyun-seong, you said you quit smoking?]

[···yes? I hung up, but why?]

[just···. I wish the boy I know would quit smoking like you, but he doesn’t listen when I tell him to quit smoking.]

[Smoking is a personal freedom, but forcing people to quit smoking is a bit… Just don’t harm others with that.]

Lee Hyun-seong’s words were not wrong.

It didn’t matter if I smoked or smoked weed, as long as it didn’t harm others.

but.

‘If you keep smoking in front of me, you’re doing damage.’

Kim Soo-han’s behavior was clearly an act that harmed others.

Cha Yu-ra recalled the conversation with Lee Hyeon-seong.

[Hey. What would you do if your friend harmed you by smoking?]

[I should ask you not to smoke in front of me.]

[If you still ignore it?]

[Well. It must be a bit difficult to be friends, maybe? It is only when you know how to be considerate of each other that a proper relationship can be established.]

After reminiscing, Cha Yu-ra stopped walking.

‘Are Kim Soo-han and I friends…?’

Let’s be honest.

The reason he became close to Kim Soo-han was because of his father’s orders.

Still, inside Cha Yoo-ra, she wanted to be a normal friend, not a snobbish relationship.

Because I didn’t want to be like my father who treats people as tools.

but···.

Rather, he realized that Kim Soo-han was treating him like a tool.

‘Did he ever say thank you to me?’

Cha Yu-ra looked back on the past when she got along with Kim Soo-han.

Even when they supported Artifact.

Even when serving a meal at a high-end restaurant.

He just took it for granted.

Moreover, even after taking so much

I never once cared for myself.

Cha Yu-ra realizes that fact.

Little by little, resentful feelings for Kim Soo-han rose up.

however.

Even if it was just an ordinary student.

As much as Kim Soo-han, I couldn’t get away with it.

‘If it wasn’t for my father…’

Cha Yoo-ra’s father did not spare Kim Soo-han all kinds of support, and when he asked for the artifact he wanted, he did not hesitate to bring it from abroad.

what the father said

[Kim Soo-han is an all-time great talent. We have to recruit them into our guild somehow.]

If you succeed in recruiting Kim Soo-han,

He boasted that the balance of the three major guilds in Korea would collapse.

‘Is Kim Soo-han really worth that much?’

I don’t know.

To Cha Yoo-ra, he didn’t feel like a great man.

‘What···. It’s my father’s eyes, so even if you say so…’

Maybe it’s because the ugly hair got stuck once?

The thought of not wanting to hang out with Kim Soo-han came to my mind.

Except for skill.

Because Kim Soo-han’s looks, personality, and hobbies didn’t suit him.

In the meantime, I had only endured it, knowing that it would gradually get better if we stayed close.

‘… there is a limit to patience. Why do I have to live like this?’

The place deep in Cha Yoo-ra’s heart.

The suppressed dissatisfaction began to flow out again.

But he did not have the courage to disobey his father’s orders.

‘annoying···.’

Cha Yoo-ra was wondering if there was any way to naturally distance herself from Kim Soo-han.

‘···yes?’

From far away, I witnessed Seo Han-bit and Lee Yu-na talking with serious expressions.

*

Seo Han-bit and Lee Yoo-na standing facing each other.

“Please answer clearly.”

Seo Han-bit pushed forward and demanded an answer.

Then, Lee Yu-na tilted her head as if she did not understand the meaning of the question.

“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”

The letter’s question was whether Lee Hyeon-seong really tried to molest Lee Yu-na.

“Yes or no! Please give me one or the other answer!”

Since Seo Han-bit did not believe his words, Kim Soo-han did not let go of his words to ask Lee Yoo-na to kiss her.

That’s why the answer that Yuna would come out was fixed.

“I never did.”

“Are you sure?”

When Seo Han-bit asked again, Lee Yu-na nodded slightly.

“I hope that those words will not be reversed.”

Seo Han-bit thought that Lee Hyeon-seong would never do such a thing, so he kept quiet for a while.

But the problem was different.

Apart from Lee Hyun-seong, I thought I had to find out that Kim Soo-han lied.

Of course, the truth cannot be determined arbitrarily, so I thought it was right to ask Lee Yu-na, the person in charge, about the authenticity first.

However, if Lee Yu-na would affirm here.

Go to Lee Hyun-seong and check again.

I was thinking of making a three-way face-to-face.

Now that Lee Yu-na had told the truth.

It didn’t have to be, though.

‘As expected, Kim Soo-han lied to me.’

Seo Han-bit’s face turned red.

When it was confirmed that Kim Soo-han lied, his anger rose to the end.

“Then I will go first! See you next week, Yuna-sama!”

“uh? uh···.”

Seo Han-bit, who clenched his fists, frowned and left the place.

He was on his way to Kim Soo-han with a sigh.

“Seo Hanbit, wait.”

Cha Yoo-ra, who was eavesdropping on the story nearby, called her and stopped her.

Seo Han-bit saw Cha Yoo-ra’s face and stopped.

“…Yura-sama?”

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

***

Cha Yoo-ra heard about the situation from Seo Han-bit.

‘…that’s ugly.’

It was ugly, to the point of disgust.

Inside Cha Yura’s mind.

The reputation of a human named Kim Soo-han was shattered.

‘Are you trying to ruin a person’s life so easily? What the f*ck are you doing?’

I didn’t know that Kim Soo-han was this much trash.

It was even lamentable to see her father’s fondness for such a man.

‘··· But why can’t you catch and eat Lee Hyeon-seong? It was a bit strange last time too.’

If Lee Hyun-sung confessed.

Be sure to tell yourself.

It was what Kim Soo-han said.

Of course, I had no intention of doing so.

‘Now that I think about it, it seems that Lee Hyeon-seong is particularly interested.’

Did he feel a sense of crisis or jealousy toward Lee Hyun-seong, who was developing day by day?

I thought that might be the case.

Because Kim Soo-han is a man who is not proud of anything other than the title of being number one in the rankings.

‘Because he looks better than himself, he could be jealous, but…’

Of course, jealousy is not necessarily a bad thing.

Cha Yoo-ra herself always feels jealousy and envy towards Baek So-ah, whom she considers her rival, and that has been the driving force behind her growth.

However, due to jealousy, he did not do anything to discredit his opponent.

rival and friend.

I just kept that relationship going.

On the other hand, Kim Soo-han was nothing more than trash with an inferiority complex.

‘… I’m going to have to pull that bastard down somehow. It’s an opportunity to get him out of his father’s interest.’

Cha Yoo-ra finished her thoughts and asked Seo Han-bit while looking into her eyes.

“But you didn’t mean to go to Kim Soo-han, did you?”

“Right?”

Cha Yoo-ra touched her forehead as if she was dizzy at Seo Han-bit’s determined answer.

I hope the real pink hair is all gone.

I tried to suppress that thought and continued the conversation.

“What are you going to say?”

“I have to ask why you lied. I apologize to Hyeonseong-nim.”

“Will he listen to you obediently? please think about it.”

“Then do nothing and stay still? They should be put in innocent!”

Cha Yu-ra, who managed to suppress the urge to pluck out all her pink hair, replied while cooling her anger.

“ruler. Let’s think slowly Hasn’t Kim Soo-han harmed Lee Hyeon-seong yet?”

“Isn’t it?”

“So you’re saying you’re not actually guilty of anything?”

“No?”

“Shut up and listen to me?”

Cha Yu-ra floated an ice pick in the air.

Only then did Seo Han-bit shut his mouth.

“That’s why, in the current situation, you can’t ask Kim Soo-han for anything wrong. For now, I’m just quietly watching…”

Cha Yu-ra picked up the ice pick and continued.

“If Kim Soo-han tries to frame Lee Hyeon-seong…”

“What if…?”

“At that time, I have to drag you down to the bottom of the abyss.”

Cha Yu-ra took out her cell phone from her pocket and held it.

A small voice leaked from the cell phone.

[… I’ve never done that.]

[Are you sure?]

[I hope that those words will not be reversed.]

“The story you and Lee Yu-na shared. I recorded it just in case. And Lee Hyeon-seong has a competent lie detector, so no problem.”

A small smile appeared on Cha Yu-ra’s lips.

***

Soothing the stupid letter.

‘The results of the practice should have come out by now.’

Cha Yoo-ra was accessing the academy’s homepage and checking the ranking of the dungeon practice.

Of course, the first thing that caught my eye was the student who was in first place in practice.

┗I believed… It’s really cool to see them working hard and improving…

┗ The Rebellion of Bobbap

┗ Come. What? How lucky was your grouping? It looks like you rode the bus sweetly.

┗ Come see the video. Currently, it has been up to the 4th day, but once you look at it, the bus is burned by Lee Hyun-seong alone. The other members climbed on top of the Giant Centipede and had a tea time.

┗I saw it too, but he’s not searching, he’s slaughtering.

┗To be honest, I was impressed when I saw that he was mercilessly slapped on the head during Dalian hahahahaha

┗ Agree with the above comment. hahahahaha I didn’t like it because the academy bastards weren’t playing house, and they were so damn careful not to match their heads. Rather, Lee Hyun-seong is better.

┗I want to eat Hyunseong Lee.

┗I watched the video. What are the summons? Almost all of them are monsters I see for the first time. Particularly, a monster with two horns is my favorite…

┗ Fresh Water Summoner! The giant centipede dog is really cool.

┗ The guild that expelled Lee Hyun-seong sobbed hahahahaha

┗ Lee Hyeon-seong was banished? why?

┗ It must have been seriously lame during the first ranking match. There is no video, so I’m not sure why.

I didn’t read it because most of it was plastered with malicious comments further down.

‘As expected, Lee Hyeon-seong is number one this time… The reputation continues to improve…’

If Lee Hyeon-seong was the first in the academy rankings.

Father’s favor wouldn’t have been focused on trash like Kim Soo-han.

With that thought, Cha Yu-ra turned off her phone without even checking her rank.
