The Player Returns After 10,000 Years Episode 458
For My Beloved Little Brother (2)
-Should we go out to eat together? A voice comes through the door. It was a very familiar voice to Sihun Kim.
aww
Sihoon Kim clenched his teeth while sitting on the bed.
Clink!
The picture frame that was on the table fell to the floor due to the violent energy that flowed naturally from his body.
Kim Si-hoon raised his head with a puzzled expression.
I got out of bed and headed to the place where the picture frame had fallen.
In the broken frame that fell to the floor, there was a picture of Kang Woo smiling brightly with his arm holding a barbecue skewer draped over his shoulder.
I lifted up the picture I took when I went to play in Caldesan before.
I carefully brushed off the glass shards from the photo.
…brother.
muttered softly.
It hurts as if a heavy burden is pressing down on your shoulder.
-We’re ‘younger brothers’ like each other, aren’t we?
Kim Taehyung’s mocking voice rang in my ears.
aww Fist clenched roughly.
…the one who knows nothing.
I got kind of angry. Even though I know it’s not something to be angry about. ‘
How desperately I tried
…’
to be his ‘little brother’ .
I didn’t like the casual expression of ‘we’.
Kim Si-hoon released his tightly clenched fist.
He shook his head, suppressing his growing anger.
ha. What kind of palace is this?
I thought I couldn’t get any worse than this.
Sihun Kim collected the glass shards scattered on the floor and threw them in the trash. ‘Because it doesn’t look like there’s any ulterior motive.’
The enmity toward himself was also caused by excessive loyalty and longing for Kang Woo, and did not seem particularly malicious. …and.’
Above all, Kim Tae-hyun was able to help Kang-woo more than himself.
Kim Si-hoon slowly raised his hand.
According to the description of the intangible sword, the internal energy was united and a sword that emits blue light was created. …godhead.
The difference between himself and Kim Tae-hyun could be defined with that one word.
Of course, the ability to see the future was also annoying, but it wasn’t that there was no breaking law.
However, in the case of the godhead, there was no such thing as the law of destruction.
‘What should I do… to get it.
Distantness came.
It feels like facing a huge wall in front of you.
It was the first wall of growth that Kim Si-hoon, who had the wonderful talent of the sacrum, faced.
ha.
Another deep sigh came out.
The blue sword that had been created in the air turned into powder and scattered.
My mind was complicated.
I looked down at the picture I had taken out of the broken frame.
– Thank you for being my sister… The words that Kang Woo’s voice saved him echoed in his head.
The rough distorted expression is released.
The corners of his mouth naturally rose.
…okay. There is no need to compare.
Kim Si-hun shook his head, remembering Kim Tae-hyun.
Comparison itself is meaningless.
He is not just a brother and sister relationship with Kang Woo.
Although they are not blood related, he considers Kang Woo more than an older brother. Rainfall will be the same. ‘If it wasn’t, he wouldn’t have said that to me.’
Thinking that, my shoulders felt lighter.
My complicated mind became clear as if I had been splashed with cool water. ‘You can think of it as similar to Taesoo. There’s no need to make it complicated. You just have to treat it comfortably like you would treat Tae-soo.
After all, they are now part of the Guardians.
Let’s ask for sparring later.
Maybe you’ll find a clue to get over the wall you can’t cross
.
‘Today then, let’s go sparring with the Balrog.’
Maybe it was because I lost to Taehyung Kim, but I thought I wanted to move my body more.
Kim Si-hun started the visit with a much lighter step than before.
whoop whoop.
After the sparring with the balrog, Kim Si-hoon lay down on the floor breathing heavily.
…what happened today?
After the sparring, the Balrog returned to his human form wearing a pendant and asked.
why?
You seem to be a little more desperate than usual.
Kim Si-hun narrowed his eyes as if asking what he was saying. What does that mean?
Literally. They sparred as if they were being chased by something. Ah… well it was the same before.
…..
On the contrary, I’ve been lacking in earnest lately.
So, it was lacking….
Didn’t you feel it yourself? The Balrog snorted as if it were bland and continued.
After the battle with Taemu-geuk, you are no longer desperate.
The feeling of being hit in the back of the head with a huge hammer.
Kim Si-hoon’s eyes widened. A shudder mixes between the rough breathing.
Wasn’t I desperate? Yes.
don’t bullshit I haven’t had time lately because I’ve been dealing with monsters, but I haven’t neglected my training.
This is not to say that I did not neglect training.
The Balrog opened his mouth in a determined voice.
It’s just that I wasn’t desperate
.
That’s the word… no. These two are obviously different.
Before, you swung desperately every time you swung your sword. I moved desperately as if being chased by something.
But not now. You… are no longer desperate.
….
Sihun Kim chewed his lips. He glared at the Balrog with sharp eyes.
not desperate
The Balrog’s low words seemed to become a dagger and lodged in his chest. ‘no.’
I shook my head. I thought it couldn’t be. ‘I’m going after my older brother.’
Didn’t he train more earnestly than anyone else?
…I’m on my way.
okay.
Looking at Sihun Kim, who nervously turned his body around, the balrog let out a chuckle
.
Sihun Kim left the Balrog’s house.
After passing through the barrier that blocks public access, I saw people on the street busily wandering around.
Wearing a hat and mask to cover his face, Sihoon Kim trudged along.
The Balrog’s words echoed in my ears,
desperation… lacking .
Displeasure ran down his spine. An unknown nervousness came over me.
-Thank you for being my sister… Then Kang Woo’s voice rang in my head once more.
The discomfort running down my spine disappeared like snow melting.
The nervousness that had heated up his whole body also disappeared before he knew it.
haha.
Kim Si-hoon put a smile on his lips with a more comfortable expression.
‘Yeah, no need to worry.
Hadn’t he been weighed down by trauma before? What the balrog said was earnest,
probably referring to
himself who was weighed down by trauma .
‘Of course he wouldn’t feel that way now.’
he was saved
With the help of his older brother, who is more precious to Kang Woo than anyone else,
he was able to escape from the curse that had entangled him for the rest of his life.
I’ll try to contact my brother later.
With a smile on his lips, Kim Si-hoon moved his steps.
older brother? – Oh yes. Sihun. Are you okay on the phone? -Sorry…I’m going out with Taehyung for a while.
…today? -huh. i’ll contact you later Ah… yes. I understand, brother.
-Isn’t it a big deal? I’ve been a bit busy lately, so I haven’t seen your face.
haha. it’s okay.
-okay. I’ll contact you again later.
The call was disconnected.
A mechanical sound flowed from the smartphone in my hand.
You must be very… busy.
It’s been a week since Kim Tae-hyun joined the Guardians.
Kang-woo was working on a hectic schedule again to help Tae-hyun Kim, who joined the Guardians late, in various ways so that he could adapt well. Well, my brother is doing a lot of things besides that.
He had a lot of work to the extent that he was worried about Kang-woo’s body.
It was only natural that he had little time to talk on the phone, as he was in charge of handling almost everything, from the work of the divine world to the work of Erno and Earth. haha. That’s right… I can’t help it.
He closed his eyes.
Click.
Ah…
the smartphone in my hand fell to the floor.
Kim Si-hoon lifted the smartphone that had fallen on the floor and put it on the table.
I turned around and lay down on the bed.
‘Did Taehyung handle the gate anomaly that was reported yesterday?’
Since then, there have been no reported abnormalities.
Kim Si-hoon slowly closed his eyes.
sleep spilled over
ah.
a few hours later.
Kim Si-hoon opened his closed eyes and stood up.
I forgot to fall asleep
I thought about going sparring with the Balrog, but I ended up sleeping for several hours before I knew it.
Kim Si-hoon tidied up his messy hair and opened the door.
…hmm?
Passing through the white hallway and going to the meeting room, I saw Kang-woo sitting in a chair.
Hyung ….
The moment he tried to call Kang Woo with a bright smile.
-Turrr, huh, Taehyun? what’s the matter?
Kang Woo was seen answering the phone.
The smile on Sihun Kim’s lips hardened.
huh. I came to the Hall of Protection for a moment.
A voice is heard.
hard.
Unknowingly, his fists were tightly clenched.
‘It’s here.’
Kang-woo moved his gaze slightly and looked toward the hallway.
I could see Kim Si-hun looking this way.
‘then.
Kangwoo put the smartphone in his hand to his ear and continued. Is the training going well? asked with a smile on his lips.
The answer that comes back is
oh yes? haha. I’m glad.
does not exist.
huh. I’ll go there after I’m done with the paperwork.
keep talking to yourself
‘Sihun.’
understand everything?
huh?
You know that hyung is doing this because he thinks of you, right?
haha. Okay. see you there Si-hoon, you too must now overcome the wall and gain godhood.
This is what my brother is saying to you to be well.
Taehyung.
huh? Do you understand my heart, Sihun?
Do you know that I am forcing myself to do this when my heart really hurts?
You have no idea how lucky I am to have met you. right? Is this unavoidable? I’m not trash Thank you for being my sister…
Contrary to the deepening guilt in his heart, for some reason his mouth did not stop moving.
