29 – Waiting Room (2)

Still, the moment I entered the waiting room, I felt comforted that my body was back to its best condition.

When I saw the worst atmosphere around me, I thought of that.

It’s because two groups led by Lee Seon-hwa and Kang Dae-san were watching me….

It was the exact opposite situation from the big fight where only I was the worst in the festive atmosphere.

Ironically.

… It’s the same that I have to roll.

“Ha ha.”

What can I do?

It’s all my fault.

I think it’s fortunate that my body has recovered.

Ignoring the headache from mental exhaustion, I rolled my eyes.

People’s facial expressions were not very different.

I really have to fight, but I have a nervous face, a face that is anxious that I will die.

Among those faces.

Lee Seon-hwa was looking at me again with unknown eyes.

… What do you want to say

Since I’ve been thinking about that for a while.

[Time left in waiting room: 2 days 23 hours 59 minutes]

As always, numbers were pushed in front of my eyes.

Three days.

There is not enough time.

I need to solve this quickly.

“You all seem to have a lot to discuss. Then we’ll meet again in front of this hotel in an hour.”

Let’s say that.

Even though I didn’t say a word, I felt like there was a lot of noise.

Because they started exchanging things with their eyes.

Anyway, it didn’t look like anything would happen right away.

I hope we can discuss it properly and get a good result.

We entered the hotel and boarded the elevator.

Seol-i, who slightly bit her lip to see if she was worried about Seon-hwa Lee, and Seo-yeon Han, who was expressionless as always, followed her.

Han Seo-yeon’s physical condition seemed to have already returned perfectly.

‘Is it too much to design something like this?’

I wondered if it was too overrated.

I was staring blankly at the sliding elevator door.

– Chin.

Suddenly, a large hand entered the elevator door gap.

Then the sensor activates and the owner of the hand revealed through the door that opens again.

“Can I ride with you?”

“…Of course.”

Of course it was Kangdaesan.

Kang Dae-san, who sneaked into the elevator with my permission, starts to look this way.

I was the first to open her mouth to her behavior that didn’t match her size.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“…We’ve talked about it before, but we don’t intend to fight over this anymore.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. I don’t think it’s a good idea to risk someone’s life or death because of one thief.”

It’s not like risking your life.

Even fighting before must have been risking one’s life.

I wonder if he has become a bit threatening now.

Or it could be that he no longer has any intention of risking his life now that the situation has eased up.

How are you?

I didn’t mean to bet something strange about a situation that ended well.

She said what she had in mind, replacing that thought with a nod of her head.

“Can you keep this a secret from Seonhwa Lee?”

“…I see.”

“Thank you.”

“If someone turns himself in…What do you plan to do?”

Well.

Looking at the eyes of this side, it seemed that I was worried that I would be sentenced to death.

“I wonder if everyone agrees and gives a light punishment.”

“Ummm…”

There was a bit of doubt in Kang Dae-san’s eyes as he drool after hearing the answer.

I didn’t feel very good because I thought I knew the meaning.

‘… I know someone as a dictator.’

However, I also saw Han Seo-yeon and warned her that she was a crazy psychopath.

I decided to just skip it.

Originally, strong people who are not friendly are afraid.

“Okay.”

That was the end of the conversation.

– Ding.

Leaving behind Mt. Kang, who hadn’t gotten off the elevator, as if they were trying to play with their party.

Seol-i and Han Seo-yeon stood in front of their respective doors.

“…Do it in moderation.”

“Huh?”

However, it seemed that I had a strange misunderstanding when I stood behind Seol-i because I had an errand.

“No, wait a minute, that’s not it.”

I tried to explain it in a hurry.

From noble mtl dot com

– Cheekyung.

As always, Han Seo-yeon, who only had her own words, went into her room.

It doesn’t really matter, but I feel uncomfortable for no reason.

“Brother…”

I turned my head at Seol-i’s call.

“But I don’t think an hour would be enough…”

“Oh.”

Seol-i’s expression, which had improved after hearing Kang Dae-san’s words, turned red before she knew it.

I realized that I wasn’t the only one who misunderstood Seo-yeon Han.

‘It’s completely misunderstood.’

… I didn’t come in for that.

“Seol-ah, that’s not it—”

Fortunately, unlike anyone else, Seol-i was a person with good communication skills.

As soon as I brought up the main topic, I have a favor to ask of you—the misunderstanding was quickly resolved.

“You want me to keep an eye on your sister’s people?”

“Yes, I’d like to take a break…But I’m not sure why.”

“Ummm…”

Seol hesitated when I said it.

“Is it difficult? Is it only possible to see one person?”

“That’s not it…”

Then why?

Since we waited quietly for an answer, Seol-i hesitantly said.

“Originally, I practiced to see my older brother… But to see other people…”

“Uh…”

I was briefly surprised by the unexpected answer.

Because it was so cute, I burst into laughter.

“Hmm, do I always have to be in your eyes?”

“Then…that’s good. Yes. Always…”

The voice that repeated always—was somehow sweet.

It was embarrassing, but it wasn’t clear because it was a creeping voice.

Anyway, it was cute.

That’s enough.

“Always.”

“…Of course it’s a metaphor. A metaphor…”

I thought it sounded pretty good and tried it again.

I told him it was okay because he was trying to clarify if he had misunderstood something.

“It’s okay.”

“Are you okay…?”

“Yeah, well, it would be embarrassing if it was really always.”

There is literally no such thing as always.

Wouldn’t it feel like lovers sharing their situation?

‘Something like taking a selfie and sending it off.’

I think it is a very fresh word.

Then let Seolgi rest for now.

Surveillance… Shall I ask Han Seo-yeon?

If it doesn’t work, I’ll try using the cape.

‘Perhaps it lacks magical power.’

I think so.

“Brother, are you going to spy on yourself?”

“I can’t help it.”

“….”

Are you really reading my head?

Surprisingly, Seol-i noticed my thoughts and asked me about it.

Then he thought about something.

“I’ll do it if you stay by my side while I watch.”

Suggested a deal.

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“I’m fine. Okay.”

Of course, I had no reason to refuse.

If it weren’t for the surveillance, we would have spent time together.

– Click.

Oddly reminded as if he had done it, Seol-i soon opened the door to the room.

A room that looks almost identical to mine has been revealed.

I’ve been watching him for a while.

“Then here…”

Seol is sitting on the sofa and knocking on the seat next to her.

Following that strong signal, as we sat down next to him, Seol-i hesitated and crossed his hands.

‘That’s good.’

I gently turned his hand over and held it.

“Ehehehe…”

“Can I just keep it like this?”

“Yes…!”

“Okay.”

Did I want something fresh like this because I was too busy on the first day?

I was thinking about that, but when I saw Seol-i, who closed her eyes and started to concentrate, I calmly organized my thoughts.

First of all, it is about the fruit theft case.

Although the case was virtually over because Kang Dae-san, who was in the victim’s position, backed down.

I wanted to catch the culprit if possible.

This is because most of the rewards in the tower are bound unlike fruits….

In this case, there are only two ways to obtain compensation without the understanding or concessions of others.

– Kill before you get it.

– Kill after getting it.

Because it is one of the two.

Isn’t there a saying that a needle thief becomes a cow thief?

This time I didn’t kill anyone and only stole the fruit, but later when I realized I had to kill someone to steal it.

… Because I didn’t know what would happen.

Even in the tower, the needle thief steals equipment and evolves into a cow thief to become stronger, so it was even more dangerous.

So deal with it.

Once there were three cases.

One, if it is a self-made play by Kang Dae-san and his party.

Two, there is a culprit among Kang Dae-san and his party, but he is disguised to look toward Lee Seon-hwa.

Third, if there is a culprit on Lee Seon-hwa’s side.

It will be divided again depending on whether there is an accomplice here or not….

It seemed like it could be seen in three ways.

However, in the first case, there is no reason to attack on the last day, just before the end.

The second case is quite possible, but….

I would have set up a night watch on my own. It would have been difficult to get out and go back with camouflage.

If there was no night watch, everyone would have been asleep while alert.

In the end, the third case becomes the most likely.

That’s why I asked Seol-i to watch Lee Seon-hwa’s group.

According to this result, you will know where to be suspicious.

I was thinking that.

– Kwok.

I was distracted by the pressure I felt from my hand.

Apart from when the lightly clasped hands turned into pods.

– Koo Woo-wook.

The pressure from Seol-i’s hand was unusual.

The expression is also very… He seemed full of anger.

I could tell at a glance that I was witnessing something unusual.

Waiting while gently stroking his clenched hand, wondering if there was anything he could do.

It took about 10 minutes before Seol-i seemed to finally calm down.

“…Brother.”

Then, Seol-i’s voice was heard.

A voice that contains complex emotions such as betrayal, anger, and pity.

“I’m listening.”

“…Yes.”

“What did you see?”

“That’s—.”

Sulgi bit his lips so hard that you could see them.

I found it difficult to open my mouth.
