Chapter 30 What’s wrong with you? =========================================================================

“After finding the cabin, you went out to look around for a while. At that time, we talked about you.”

“What did you say?”

“I talked about other survivors I met today. A man threw a dagger at Yoojung. And that’s when you hit his hand with an arrow.”

At Kim Han-byul’s words, I silently shook my head. At the time I was assuming the worst. If Woo Jung-min and Seon Yoo-woon had fought to die, we would have one or two people dead unless I showed my skills. That’s why I was thinking of starting with one person tied up.

“And Anhyun blocked the dagger with a shield.”

“That’s right.”

“Everyone thinks Anhyun is amazing, thank you. I’m raising it up. By the way, do you know what he said after seeing his behavior today?”

“…….”

I vaguely guessed what would come after the moment, but I didn’t want to hear it. But even before I could speak, Kim Han-byul opened her mouth first.

“They’re not talking in front of me, and I can tell they’ Ansol almost cried because she was scared. Ahn Hyun and Yoo Jung also look somewhat shocked. That’s not the end. I’m not happy that I spoke too bluntly to her today.”

“Well, I see.”

When I nodded calmly, Kim Han-byul became an amazing face.

“Hmm. I see. Not that. Isn’t that unfair? I did it to protect my sister, because everyone didn’t want to say it, so I gave it to you and you guys didn’t deserve it. Don’t you feel this way?”

Maybe. Maybe he couldn’t read the subtle change of atmosphere because he was thinking deeply. I was a little disappointed, but I didn’t want to take it that seriously. If we get into Hallplane anyway, it’s too late, but they might end up killing people.

Kim Han-byul continued in a tone that soothed the frustration of my peaceful face.

“You always think alone and think alone. I try to take on most of the heavy work by myself. Of course, I know you don’t have bad intentions.”

“There seems to be a misunderstanding. Wait a minute….”

“I don’t want to make a problem of misunderstanding. As I said before, your judgment was always reliable. I think so, too.”

At Kim Han-byeol’s words, I felt a stone sitting down in my heart. After I left the city, I could often see her staring at me. Especially when I and Ahn Hyun were discussing what to do in the future. I didn’t think much would happen at the time, so I just let it go, but I think Hanbyul caught me today.

“That’s not true. We are….”

“Hey, don’t talk to me.

I was stuttering for a moment when I cut off my words and shared them with Kim Han-byeol. When I look at her with round eyes, she looks at me with a unhappy look.

“What, what?”

“Speak informally. You’re comfortable with other members. Why don’t you do that with me?”

“…okay.”

It was an instant, but I was out of spirits. I am, this I am. 10th year Hallplane User….

Let’s stop. Whenever I see Kim Hanbyul, I think of Han So-young and my heart is shaking. It cannot be regarded as simply a unique ability charisma. Clearly, there have been many subtle feelings in the way I look at her. That’s how similar the atmosphere was when we first met.

He coughs in vain and continues what he couldn’t say earlier.



“I didn’t always make a judgment. You, me, Hyuni, and Sol. Everyone put their heads together and thought about it.”

“Don’t lie to me. Still, Yoo-jung didn’t include her if she had the least conscience.”

“Didn’t Hyun suffer more than I did?” Today’s battle with the monkeys was great.”

“You’re doing it again. It might work for Anhyun or Yoojung, but please don’t do that to me. Don’t try to change the subject cleverly. I just managed to catch the two cooperatively with my brother anhyeon. You took care of two by yourself. And I helped Yoojung fight for her.”

Hanbyeol’s words have poked me in the corner. As expected, you look alike. I felt that I could not look down on myself. The way I looked at myself from time to time was the way I looked at myself. It seemed that he had come out with a lot of preparation.

I sighed inside. After hearing more about it, I decided to throw a fastball.

“It’s always been like that. In the woods, in the cities, and when I met those strangers today. I usually took a step back, but when it was really dangerous, my brother always stepped forward. Assuming we’re a team, leading our team and the pillar is an older brother. It’s not Ahn Hyun. So I was upset. Why should my brother hear that?”

Are you thinking about me?’

“Well, I don’t think so. Ahn Hyun is definitely great. He’s actionable, he’s driven, and he’s bold in making decisions. And I don’t think you need to think too deeply about it. In fact, we are all leaders, and the rite of passage is where cooperation is important.”

“Stop it. What the hell is wrong with you?”

“I don’t know what the hell you want to say.”

I said I don’t know, but I felt a sting in my stomach. I was not confident to see more of Kim Han-byul’s calm and cold eyes. There was a chill around her, and she felt like there was a gust of north wind. It was really that much.

“Don’t lie to me! Suhyun is the one who really decides what to say and takes the lead! You leave things that are easy and obvious to Ahn Hyun, but why are you doing things that are difficult by yourself? Why do other people say that Ahn Hyun is the only one who appreciates and is amazing? Why should I be afraid of Soohyun, who did all the bad things by herself? And why is he trying to hide it?”

“You….”

“At this rate, my brother will act the same way in the same situation. And there is a possibility that the current situation will repeat itself. The important thing is that we all rely on you secretly. No one would object. So please be the leader of our team. If there is a difficult problem in the future, let’s do it together whether you think alone or discuss it together. If you are the leader, everyone will follow you without any complaints.”

Kim Han-byeol was now begging me in an almost imploring tone. To be honest, I didn’t feel dazed yet. Rather, if the person in front of me was Lee Yoo-jung, I would laugh and say, “That’s my personality,” but Kim Han-byeol was able to get the hang of it. I was calculating why she brought this up to me in the meantime.

The confrontation continued and the chill of dawn permeated throughout our bodies. However, Kim Han-byeol did not seem to have any intention of leaving her seat. No, you don’t seem to want to let me go before you get an answer.

I bit my lip and slowly opened it.

“I am….”

Day 6 morning has dawned. Ahn Hyun, who came to the final horse stand, woke everyone up and began busy preparing for his departure. It was quite stiff to twist the whole body’s joints with a tired face. I also stayed up all night with half-asleep eyes, but I didn’t feel tired because I didn’t sleep for a day.

“Hi. Did you sleep well?”

I give a bright morning greeting on purpose. Ansol was startled by what I said, bowed his head and ran away quickly. In the past, I would laugh and say, “I guess it’s because I’m shy,” but when I saw him like that in front of me, I was filled with bitter laughter.

Ahn Hyun may have found such an image of Ahn Sol, but he was being scolded by his heavenly brother for being rude and lowering his head. She bowed her head again and cried. After that, Lee Yu-jung approaches and embraces her. Watching the two quarreling, Ansol started to be at a loss.

And I took a step back and watched the scene quietly. It was warm. It was really warm scenery. It was safe to say three siblings. Their appearance was warm and harmonious enough to make me forget where this place was hellish rite of passage.

But I didn’t have a seat in there. And I knew that fact better than anyone else. They and I were completely different people. I had this thought when I cut 100 users in the past. Maybe I’m not a person anymore. I didn’t even know I’d forgotten myself for a moment in their arms.

‘If someone who knew me before sees me now, they’ll faint.’

I giggled with self-help. When I recalled the dark past, even the atmosphere seemed to be depressed. Whether or not she knows how I feel, Ahn Hyun smiled and walked slowly to me. Lee Yu-jung’s grumbling in the background was probably Ahn Hyun, the winner of today’s morning argument.

“Hey, can we get to that warp gate or something today?”

“…Yes.”

“Then we’ll be there in no time. Maybe it’s the last breakfast we’re having here, but why don’t we have a big breakfast this morning? You should eat a lot too.”

I smiled weakly at Ahn Hyun’s words full of four years of age. His offer to eat breakfast replaced his answer with a flutter of excitement.

“No. I’m fine. You guys have breakfast this morning.”

“What? But….”

“It’s because I don’t eat before an important day. That’s how sensitive it can be.”

At my words, Ahn Hyun nodded with a disappointed face and soon turned to Kim Han-byul. She was still staring into space with a cold face. Suddenly, I remembered the stories I shared with Kim Han-byul early this morning.

“Hanbyeol, you are morning…”.”

“I’m not eating.”

“Oh, come on..”

“I’m not eating.”

Kim Han-byeol didn’t even listen to Ahn Hyun’s words and was taking them as short sentences. Ansol-do seemed surprised by the unexpected sight, but he was wriggling his fingers. Ahn looked at Hanbyeol’s face alternately with an awkward face and scratched her head with a awkward smile. Lee Yu-jung, who was watching from the back, didn’t dare to change the current atmosphere and opened her mouth in a much more modest voice than usual.

“Ah ha ha. Then we’ll have to eat on our own.”

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. Our share is getting bigger. Ho. Ho. Oppa, Hanbyeol. We’re really going to eat all of this…?”

Of course, there was no answer from me and Kim Han-byul. Some reason was shocked by our reaction, but he held out the beak of a chicken with his mouth pouting. For a moment, I felt like Kim Han-byul was looking at me. But I had no intention of turning my head and turned away from her. Then the atmosphere became colder.

A lively morning on Day 6.

The morning of the day began with three people watching two people from breakfast.
