I am not a returner Episode 274


    Interlude – Two Lovers


    “So…”


    The next day.


    After leisurelypleting discharge procedures and staying overnight at a nearby hotel, Ha-eun returned home and sat down with the two who had just finished eating breakfast.


    He nced at Ojin and Isabe, who were giving off a strange atmosphere, and raised the corners of his mouth with a grin.


    “Did you do it?”


    A fastball thates in without warning.


    “Oh sister!”


    Isabe jumped up with a red face.


    Oh Jin cleared his throat and slowly turned his head to avoid Ha-eun’s gaze.


    “I did it, I did it.”


    Tsk tsk.


    Ha-eun shook her head and sighed.


    Although it was expected, seeing the two people with red faces and a fresh atmosphere made my stomach twist for no reason.


    Well, what if I regret it now?


    It was he who allowed the rtionship between the two.


    “Oh, that’s right, Oh Jin. “The gori man was looking for you?”


    “Manager Han?”


    “ok. I told you yesterday that you were going to that hospital, but I want to see you in person once you are discharged. “I have something to tell you.”


    It’s something to pass on.


    “Is that Kim Si-hoo? “The kid said he made it himself.”


    “okay?”


    Oh Jin’s eyes sparkled when he heard that it was Kim Si-hoo’s item.


    It would be worthwhile to look forward to the product of a genius boy whose ability to produce relics is unparalleled in the country.


    “Did you not hear what it was?”


    “I didn’t hear exactly. “I heard it will be useful when you go to the devil’s eye?”


    “Um… should I go in person?”


    “Take a look. “I’m already worried that you were robbed by Queen Serpens.”


    “Why should I get robbed?”


    “So did you win?”


    “no.”


    It was a mess.


    “…It wasn’t at a level I could deal with in the first ce.”


    Ha-eun burst intoughter at the sight of Oh-jin muttering.


    No matter how strong the enemy he faced, Oh Jin, who always won like a ghost, showed such a dejected look.


    Ha-eun yfully grabbed Oh-jin’s cheek and pushed him on the back.


    “Go quickly.”


    “okay. “Then I’ll go visit the association.”


    “Have a nice trip, Oh Jin. Oh, should I ask Roberto for a ride?”


    “it’s okay. “It’s nearby anyway.”


    Ojin shrugged his shoulders and went out.


    * * *


    ck.


    As the front door closed, a terrifying silence fell into the house.


    “….”


    “….”


    Ha-eun and Isabe yed with their smartphones in silence and nced at each other.


    One man and two women.


    In a twisted rtionship that could not be considered normal, Ha-eun and Isabe did not know how to treat each other.


    Even though we’ve known each other for quite a long time, I should say that we feel unfamiliar with each other, as if we’ve just met for the first time.


    There was an extremely awkward atmosphere, as if I happened to be riding the same elevator as a friend of a friend whom I had known only by face.


    “thanks sister.”


    Isabe was the first to speak amidst the awkward silence.


    She was wearing an apron as if she had just finished washing the dishes, and spoke with a faint smile on her face.


    “I would have lived my entire life without knowing such happy feelings that my sister did not allow me to have.”


    A feeling of happiness as sweet as melted sugar.


    Isabe, who was finally able to see the result of the misdiagnosis she had longed for, smiled beautifully as if she was extremely happy.


    “You don’t have to thank me. “I just followed what that bastard Ojin chose.”


    “But if my sister had been against it, Oh Jin would have changed her mind too.”


    “That’s…”


    Well.


    If he had strongly opposed his rtionship with Isabe, he would have cut off the rtionship with Isabe mercilessly due to Ojin’s personality.


    The most important thing for Ojini is not Isabe, but me.


    Ha-eun raised the corners of her mouth with a smirk and rxedly leaned back on the back of the chair.


    For some reason, the bridge of my nose rose with an inexplicable feeling of tion.


    “…sister?”


    “huh? iced coffee. “It’s not even a bad thing.”


    Ha-eun shrugged her shoulders with a smug expression.


    “Well, Ojini has been following me well for a long time. “Even when we were at daycare together, he would do anything for me.”


    Ha-eun raises her nose and talks about her memories with Oh Jin.


    A long rtionship that has continued since our days at the orphanage.


    It is no exaggeration to say that the castle was literally built up over a lifetime together, and that castle of solid memories was an area that Isabe could not dare to cross.


    “….”


    Isabe’s eyes frowned slightly, and faint tendons appeared on her forehead.


    When I saw Ha-eun proudly recalling her memories with Oh Jin, something started to boil inside me.


    “Well, if you put it that way, Oh Jin, you risked your life twice for me.”


    Once when trapped in the demonic realm and again during Cassia’s attack.


    Ojin threw himself into a ce that was almost like a limb without hesitation to save her.


    “That’s because the situation at the time was so urgent. You don’t have to risk your life to feel that you are valued, right? “In the end, trust in each other takes a long time.”


    Ha-eun continued to emphasize ‘a long time’.


    Isabe smiled brightly and nodded.


    Her mouth was smiling as beautifully as if it had been painted, but her eyes were cold.


    “It’s time, I just need to build it up slowly. Anyway, if you goter, you won’t be much different from me, right?”


    “…There’s no difference?”


    “Why is that so? “When I was a teenager, the difference of one year felt like a big difference, but in my 30s and 40s, a difference of one or two years doesn’t even feel like a difference.”


    The longer they spend together, the fewer memories Oh-jin and Ha-eun share.


    “Heng, is it the same as that? No matter how much time passes, there are some things that never change. “You have no idea what that child was like when he was at the orphanage, right?”


    “Oh, is this what wemonly call tte’ in Korea?”


    “Latte?”


    “Why are you there? People who always start their speech with ‘When I was~’.”


    Ha-eun’s shoulders trembled.


    The corner of his mouth twitched and he continued speaking.


    “Are you jealous now?”


    “Oh, how can that be? “I’m only second, right?”


    Isabe bowed slightly and continued speaking.


    “And consideringst night… I guess there’s no need to do that, right?”


    I gently ced my hand on my chest and recalled the memories ofst night.


    Hot breath tickling your skin.


    The feeling of two strong arms embracing my body roughly, as if I might break.


    Oh Jin greedily lusted after himself like an animal.


    “Hehe. Mr. Oh Jin… he did that several times even though his body wasn’t fully healed yet.”


    Isabe puts her hands on both cheeks and thinks back tost night’s passionate affair.


    “Mr. Oh Jin really liked it. ‘this’.”


    Isabe nced at Ha-eun and subtly pushed her chest forward.


    The voluptuous curves were emphasized and immediately captured attention.


    Ha-eun swallowed dry saliva and took in the curves that were clearly visible even through the wide apron.


    Although she herself was not so small that she could easily be pushed around, she did not dare to reach the peak of a mountain whose sticity and size exceededmon sense.


    Ha-eun’s expression became distorted.


    “Heng. “I wouldn’t have been able to do it properly anyway.”


    “…How does she know that?”


    Isabe’s expression stiffened in shock.


    As Ha-eun said, she was so nervousst night that she stiffened like wood and stone and only followed Oh-jin’s lead.


    Considering that she usually actively tempted Oh Jin, it was a very shameful first experience.


    “It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it.”


    Ha-eun smiled and raised the corners of her mouth and raised her arrogant nose again.


    “I have a lot of experience with Ojini, so I take the lead these days.”


    “…It doesn’t matter who leads, right?”


    “Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go “It doesn’t matter at all.”


    Isabe bit her lip as she saw Ha-eun nodding her head with a winning smile.


    The sight of Ha-eun rxing as if she was saying, ‘No matter how hard you struggle,’ made me boil inside.


    What caught her eye was Ha-eun’s chest.


    Without a doubt, this was the part where there was the most obvious ‘difference’.


    She knows very well how childish it is to feel superior because of physical differences.


    Normally, once people get heated up, they be surprisingly childish.


    “Your breasts are so small!”


    “I have to speak clearly. It’s not that I’m small, it’s that you’re needlessly big?!”


    “It’s not useless! “Don’t you know how much Oh Jin liked you?”


    “Are you trying to beat me again? “Did you forget that you got burned once?”


    “If you are not confident that you will win, say that you are not confident.”


    “Aren’t you confident?!”


    “Oh, your voice has be a bit louder for something like that?”


    The two women jumped up from their seats and red at each other fiercely as if they were going to eat each other.


    An awkward silence fell again.


    “….”


    “….”


    About 10 seconds passed in silence.


    The eyes of the two women, or rather, the two lovers, crossed in the air.


    Regardless of who was first, I burst intoughter.


    “ha. “What are you doing in such a childish way that you’re so old?”


    “Iknow, right.”


    Ha-eun and Isabe sighed and shook their heads.


    “Anyway, this is all because of that bastard.”


    “That’s right, sister. “It’s all Oh Jin’s fault.”


    The two, who had been growling as if they were going to eat each other just now, looked at each other and burst outughing lightly.


    “Anyway… thank you, sister. “For allowing me to be with Mr. Oh Jin.”


    A bright smile appeared on Isabe’s lips.


    “And… you said that yesterday, right? “It feels like you have a younger sister.”


    “Oh yeah. It did?”


    Isabe hesitates and turns her head.


    He continued speaking, hiding his apple-red cheeks.


    “Me too… I felt like I had a sister. “I used to have an older sister, but… we’ve been apart for a long time.”


    Has it been a long time?


    In her memories, her sweet older sister even tried to kill her herself.


    Of course, it was because I was manipted by the Heavenly Demon.


    Anyway, we didn’t have a friendly conversation when we reunited in front of the sanctuary yesterday.


    “Okay, well, this has alreadye to an end. Please take care of me from now on.”


    “me too.”


    Ha-eun held hands with Isabe and raised the corners of her mouth.


    “Oh. And if another bitch targets Ojini….”


    “Then I will step in and take action.”


    Cheer up.


    A creepy smile appeared on Isabe’s lips.


    “I will not allow anyone toe near Mr. Oh Jin.”


    “okay.”


    Ha-eun nodded with satisfaction, as if she had a trustworthy ally.


    “Now that I think about it, he seems a bit suspicious.”


    “Who?”


    “Green existence.”


    “Are you Reba?”


    “Yep. “I heard you just came here and sat on myp?”


    “…Please tell me in detail.”


    For a while, the two women put their heads together and thought about how to keep other women away from Ojin.


    “I guess we should leave for Makyeong as soon as possible.”


    “right? “If you have to go somewhere anyway, there’s no need to procrastinate, right?”


    By receiving the title of Pagunseong, Ojin gained great fame.


    Now that the Awakened One, who has not yet reached the 9th Star, has been recognized as a member of the Seven Stars, the forces targeting him will increase in numbers in the future.


    And the beauty world has been amonly used method ofpetition between powers since ancient times.


    Didn’t they say that even during the Cold War, Russian spies mainly used the beauty world?


    “Then I guess I should get ready to leave quickly.”


    “How can I help you?”


    Unlike Isabe, who leads a huge force called the Colgrande family, Ha-eun did not have much to prepare.


    Isabe smiled brightly and nodded.


    “yes. “We were already short of workers.”


    “But I’m bad at organizing documents and stuff like that.”


    “Oh, you don’t have to worry.”


    The Colgrande family is one of the top five prestigious families in Europe.


    It was a mammoth family that ran dozens of businesses.


    If Isabe is away, it is natural that various forces will attack the Colgrande family like hyenas without her.


    As I have recently been semi-retired from practical work while living in Korea, I have received reports that several families are eyeing the Colgrande family’s business.


    There was only one optimal way to make it so that people like hyenas couldn’t evene close.


    “You just need to…burn a few ces.”


    Isabe held out her hand with an eerie smile.


    Ha-eun held Isabe’s hand and raised the corners of her mouth.


    “That’s something I specialize in.”


    So the preparations to leave for Magyeong began.
