Episode 429:
When I turn my head, there he is.
Someone I haven’t seen in a very long time. A man I thought I would never see again.
A long period of time, long enough for even the feelings of longing to be completely washed away.
However, this heartbeat that you feel the moment you face each other is by no means a lie. Looking at the person in front of her, Nam Joo-ryeon suppressed her trembling heart and coldly opened her mouth.
“It’s funny, right?”
“Yeah, that’s fun.”
Nam Joo-ryeon smiled at Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.
The name Samcheon symbolizes the friendship between three people. Those who have not been together since childhood, but walked the path of nothingness with the same goal.
Because of this, I thought that we were stronger than anyone else and that no matter what happened, we would get through it together.
However, Cheon Mu-gwang’s betrayal and the act of killing Tae Gong-jin.
Even in the face of someone who was nothing short of a perfect enemy, there was a hint of hesitation in a corner of my heart that he might not come back.
It is said that he swung his sword fiercely, but Cheon Mukwang must have noticed it.
If the swords had clashed properly, Cheon Mu-gwang would have pierced his heart and the one who would have died would have been none other than Nam Ju-ryeon.
In fact, Cheon Mukwang tried to kill Nam Joo-ryeon.
Although it was only for a moment, Nam Joo-ryeon felt a level of death that gave goosebumps. He recalled it, let out a long sigh, and put away his sword.
“Sometimes….”
“Sometimes like this and sometimes like that’?”
Nam Joo-ryeon interrupted Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.
As a human being, there are bound to be unavoidable situations, but I couldn’t understand Cheon Moo-gwang’s betrayal.
Nam Joo-ryeon’s anger exploded.
“Still, it’s unacceptable.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
“You’re always the same.” Blunt gaze.
An expression that shows no interest whatsoever in anything. The words he spoke were also indifferent, as if they had no emotions.
Even though a thousand years have passed, this has not really changed.
It felt good to see the past, but also
bitter.
“…Some things will have changed.” Nam Joo-ryeon looked at Dan Woo-hyeon in surprise.
His expression became much softer, as if he was thinking of someone. Even though I was seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it, with a smile that was so good that I had never thought of it in the past.
“It does… change.”
Nam Joo-ryeon laughed without realizing it.
I wanted to see Dan Woohyun’s expression like that at least once.
Have you finally found your place?
Thinking like that made me feel at ease.
Also, the fact that Dan Woo-hyeon can change means that Cheon Moo-gwang can also change.
Therefore, I was able to understand and accept this whole situation.
“Cheon Moogwang… I will kill him.”
“Okay…”
“Don’t come forward.”
“You have no intention of leaving.”
Nam Joo-ryeon made up her mind.
Just as Cheon Mukwang killed Taegongjin, as the last remaining close friend, it is also the role of a close friend to give rest to someone who is walking on the wrong path.
That’s why she turned away with a bitter heart.
Saaagh-!
The figure suddenly disappeared along with the thick fog.
“You don’t even say hello.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at that and shook his head. Just as Cheon Mukwang changed and Dan Woohyeon changed, Nam Juryeon also changed.
I felt bad that I was the one who caused this whole situation, but I have come too far to turn it all back now.
“But… the cause can be ruled out.”
Dan Woo-hyeon opened his eyes as he remembered this person.
“Oh, Miss, are you really okay?”
“huh! It’s really okay. “You can do it like this.”
Yeo Eun-wol, who came out to the streets of Agyang, looked around with a somewhat anxious expression.
Because half of his face was covered with a bandana, people only glanced at him.
But every time that happened, Dansomi glared at me with a harsh gaze, so no one could whisper and just walked away like a dead rat.
There is no one in this Agyang who does not know Dansomi.
The golden jade leaf of Honam Danga.
That alone was enough to discourage everyone.
“I don’t think there’s any need to cover it up?”
At that time, Hong Jinrang sneakily approached and tried to touch the hood covering his face. If Yeo Eun-wol had not stepped back in surprise, her hideous face would have been fully revealed.
Jujiyak taps with a pointed gaze! He said and slapped Hong Jinrang’s hand.
“then no! Especially for girls!”
“Uh… Yes…”
Hong Jin-rang, holding his breath as if he were dead, had no choice but to nod. He may not know about others, but he cannot rebel against Ju Ji Yak.
Of course, the same goes for Dansomi.
“So where are we going today?”
Hong Jinrang then asked with a somewhat annoyed expression.
I was dragged out when I was supposed to be studying. Of course, it was okay because I didn’t have to study hard, but I didn’t like being dragged around by a girl.
If the men had gathered together, there would be a lot they could do, but with the girls around, they can’t act as they please.
“Did you just come out because you wanted to show Eunwol around the streets of Agyang?”
“Don’t call everyone out for something like that…”
“Hehe, it’s boring when it’s just the two of us.” Hong Jinrang frowned.
However, as I looked at Dan So-mi’s smiling face, my face turned red without me realizing it and I looked away. He shook his head as if shaking something off and looked out into the street.
“Shall we go to that street first?” Yeo Eun-wol kept looking around and followed Dan So-mi.
I don’t know if the reason I never want to fall is because I feel anxious or because I feel like I have to keep my sweet tooth.
Tension was evident in her eyes.
It’s been a long time since I’ve appeared in a journal like this.
This is because, except when he was very young, he did not want to appear in front of people and was busy hiding himself. Therefore, even though he stayed by Dansomi’s side as if protecting her, his eyes still looked around and engraved the complicated scene in his eyes.
“Now eat it. “The skewers here are really delicious.”
At that time, Hong Jinrang handed me a skewer, asking where I had bought it. Perhaps because of the sudden favor, Yeo Eun-wol gave him a wary look.
“Even though I’ve seen it for so long, it’s still the same.”
“I’m doing that because I’m scared, that’s what your impression is.”
Ju Ji-yak burst out laughing. It took quite a long time to come from Sacheon to Aeyang, so Hong Jin-rang and Ju Ji-yaek were able to get quite close to Yeo Eun-wol.
However, the woman, Ju Ji-yak, seemed to have no problem, but whenever Hong Jin-rang approached, she hid herself or gave a wary look.
I don’t know if it was because of his size or because he had a more ferocious face than other kids his age, but it seemed like Hong Jinrang was quite seriously injured.
Hong Jinrang stiffened his face and made a blank expression.
Then Yeo Eun-wol, realizing her mistake, cautiously stretched out her hand while observing Dan So-mi’s notice.
“Thank you… thank you.”
“What’s the point of having just one skewer?”
“Ah… but…”
“Speak clearly. I can’t hear very well and just stutter. Oh, “You just have to listen carefully!”
Ju Ji-yak, who was listening to the two people talking, suddenly kicked Hong Jin-rang’s leg with an angry expression. As he sat down, groaning as if in pain, Yeo Eun Wol approached him in surprise.
“Are you okay?”
“Ugh…”
Yeo Eun-wol, who was watching Hong Jin-rang with a worried expression, looked restless somehow, and the glance at Ju Ji-yak was filled with resentment.
Ju Ji-yak quietly watched the situation and clapped his hands.
“aha!”
“huh? what’s the matter?”
“Hohoho, it’s nothing.” Now I think I understand why Yeo Eun-wol is so embarrassed in front of Hong Jin-rang. Come to think of it, Hong Jin-rang took exceptional care of Yeo Eun-wol from the moment they first met.
He said a lot of harsh words, but he also helped me a lot.
The name Hong Jinrang was likely to be engraved in the tender child’s heart.
At that time, Dan So-mi tugged on Ju Ji-yak’s collar.
It was as if his eyes were asking me to tell him if I knew anything.
“Because Somi is a child….”
“Huh? I’m not a child! “We’re the same age?”
Dansomi screamed as if she felt unfair.
But Ju Ji-yaek didn’t even care to listen and was busy teasing Dan So-mi. The moment when children’s laughter spreads.
“Who… Someone please catch me! “A thief is a thief!”
A loud sound was heard.
People’s eyes turned in surprise. Even the children looked there and saw a sturdy man running in cold sweat.
In one hand, he was holding a scratched pouch, and in the other, he was holding a dagger, possibly to threaten people.
If there was someone blocking the way, he would swing it and create a path.
So the man ran towards where the children were.
Hong Jin-rang and Yeo Eun-wol, who saw this, quickly stepped forward as if to protect Dan So-mi.
Despite being seen holding a knife, the two children showed no signs of being scared.
The moment Ju Ji-yaek, who watched the situation, slowly raised his hand and tried to give an order to the guards.
Squeak-!
“Gagging!”
Quadadadang!
Something flew out of nowhere and hit the man in the face.
Everyone looked at the scene in astonishment. A man whose size was so large that even adults were frightened was unable to overcome the boy’s kicks.
“H-are you okay?”
The boy wiped away his cold sweat and looked at Dansomi. Even if you look at her, she has a youthful appearance that doesn’t seem to be much different from Dan Somi or other children.
Nevertheless, the sight of him overpowering an adult with a single blow could be said to be the martial artist that Hong Jinrang had always thought of. Without realizing it, I lowered my gaze in despair.
“Ugh, we’re fine, but what about you?”
Dansomi asked, looking at the boy quietly. Actually, I didn’t suffer any damage, so I’m fine and I’m not suffering. Rather, I am more worried about the boy who hit the adult.
“This… this bastard…
At that time, the man who was kicked stood up and screamed. He gave strength to the dagger he was holding and rushed towards the child who had hit him.
“Small crab! “I will kill you!” The man was so angry that there was nothing he could see. The red-hot face never calmed down. How embarrassing would it have been just to have been kicked by a child?
Then something strange happened.
Someone passing by hit the head of the man who was running towards the children.
Sigh!
Then, with a loud sound, the man fell down helplessly.
“Oh my gosh what is this? “What a strange guy…?”
He is dressed in black. I didn’t realize how long I had been there, but naturally I carried the fallen person and walked down the street. People looked at me with blank expressions.
It appeared out of nowhere and disappeared just as suddenly. No one seemed to know the man in black.
While Dan So-mi was making a blank expression.
“Fuhahaha.”
A little while ago, the little boy laughed out loud. I don’t know what was so funny, but the booming voice sounded quite exciting.
“Oh, it’s really fun. “I heard there are a lot of hidden masters in Aeyang. Could that person be one of them?”
“Hidden expert…?”
“huh! By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet, right? I am Yubaek. I just moved here. “We seem to be the same age, so please take care of us!”
Yubaek smiled and held out his hand.
Then, he naturally took Hong Jinrang’s hand in front of him and shook it. The four children nodded their heads willingly at the very outspoken behavior.
