Possessed an Academy Security Guard

85 – 085. Farewell for a moment (2)

I apologized to the other crew members and headed for the main gate.

The text message Ji Ye-won sent made me feel strangely uneasy. There was no reason. Anxiety just creeped up for no reason. However, there is no causeless anxiety in the world. If there is unexplained anxiety, it is simply not knowing the cause of the anxiety.

Yes.

The road to the main gate. I couldn’t figure out the reason for the anxiety creeping up my spine. I was just vaguely anxious.

“Hello.”

When I finally reached the front gate, Yewon Ji greeted me under the shade of a tree next to the crossing. She was dressed in a white baseball cap and a black mask, but she seemed to be wary of running into someone she knew.

“I’m sorry I called you because you were at work.”

“No. I can come out for a while.”

“Really? How much time do you have?”

“Okay. Ten or fifteen minutes?”

“15 Minutes… ….”

Ji Ye-won, who was speechless, pointed her thumb at the park in front of the main gate and asked.

“Then, would you like to take a short walk?”

I nodded and Yewon Ji turned around and headed towards the park. A large carrier bag was dragged along behind her with a gurgling sound.

Looking at the suitcase, I realized that Ji Ye-won was going far away.

Yewon Ji has always been by my side since the day I became possessed by this world. She lived with her when she was in the safe house, and even after she moved in next door, we ran into each other and almost lived together.

That girl is leaving me today.

Realizing that fact anew, I followed Ji Ye-won side by side.

A walking trail in the park under the warm sunlight of a spring day.

Because it was morning time, the park was quiet. Thanks to that, the two of us were able to walk through the park without worrying about what others might think.

“We met yesterday evening. I want to see you face to face one last time before I leave.”

“I did.”

“Yes. I did, but since I’m leaving in the morning, is there anything else I want to see? So I came to see you.”

Yewon Ji smiled briskly as she lowered her mask to her chin. I also tried to smile, but couldn’t. Because she caught a glimpse of the negative emotion hidden behind her laugh.

“…… What happened this morning?”

“Is your face stained?”

“Uh. Many.”

“Really? But, well, nothing special happened.”

“Anyway, there was something.”

“Yes. Just a few trivial things.”

Ji Ye-won said, she said that this morning she had only bad luck.

I slipped in the bathroom after waking up in the morning.

Stamped your pinky toe on the threshold.

She burned the toast because she miscalculated the time while baking it.

A piece of shell got inside while opening an egg.

Everything was trivial, as she said, but the overlapping of such small misfortunes made her feel uneasy. Ji Ye-won told me that she came to see me.

“Why, when you read something like a novel, they say that this is a foreshadowing. Thinking like that made me anxious.”

“It’s a double track… ….”

It was hard to take as a joke. Yes, this world was the world of fiction.

“…… Is there such a thing as a foreshadowing in reality? Don’t mind.”

But I tried to deny that fact and told Yewon Ji. However, Ji Ye-won seemed to have little anxiety.

“I think so too, but the timing is too complicated. You and I are going to step into dangerous things from now on.”

“I told you yesterday that mine is not very dangerous.”

“Truly. If raiding overrank dungeons isn’t dangerous, what on earth is dangerous?”

“Why would I go into an overrank dungeon by myself? There’s nothing dangerous about putting spoons on top of each other among talented S-class supermen. It’s even a dungeon I’ve been to once.”

“I heard that he managed to escape at that time and even almost died… ….”

“Because it will be fine. If you’re going to worry, just worry about yourself. Unlike me, you have to infiltrate the enemy camp alone.”

No wonder I was more worried about Yewon Ji’s mission than clearing my dungeon.

To be honest, there are outstanding hunters around me, so in the worst case, I can leave it to them and run away.

“Ji Ye-won. As I said before, always put your safety first.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t take any risks. It’s not like I have any obligation to protect Min Chaeryeong.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t overdo it. It’s your job to do the bare minimum, take care of yourself, and come back safely. Do you know what I mean?”

“I know. I’ve already heard it from you several times.”

Ji Ye-won stuck out her lips and answered bluntly. But the look on his face didn’t look too bad.

Yewon Ji, who was walking leisurely, stopped her steps and looked around the scenery of the park.

“The weather is really nice. Right?”

“Sure.”

“Coming to think of it, I think this is the first time I’ve taken a walk like this with you.”

“…… I know.”

Like that said, even though I lived next door to her Ji Ye-won, I had never even taken her for a light walk like this. Not only had she taken a walk, but she had never gone anywhere alone with her.

Coming to think of it, it was a strange thing. She couldn’t go out while I was in her safe house, so even if I did, there would be plenty of opportunities to go out with her, whether it’s her dinner or whatever.

‘At most, we went to a convenience store or a mart together.’

If I had known it would turn out like this, we would have gone out to the city together on the weekend. At least I’ll try to eat out at least once.

Belated regret came flooding in, but as they said, it was already too late. Ji Ye-won leaves here today and goes to Yongin. She was a distance enough to meet her in terms of distance, but it would probably be impossible to meet her.

Min Chae-ryeong said that they even knew most of her subordinates whom Min Chae-ryeong had placed personally with her. Of course, you already know that I am her subordinate. In the meantime, if I go to meet Ji Ye-won, who has infiltrated the research center, her identity may be discovered by them.

If the mission given to her is completed safely, she should be able to meet her again.

However, she kept in mind the possibility that her mission might not end safely even when I told Yewon Ji that she would be fine on the outside.

I was anxious.

Looking back, things that exploded around me after being possessed by this world did not always go the way I thought.

I dare to say that this was all because of the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure. Perhaps what the hateful writer who created this world wants to see is my pain, and I’m writhing in despair. As part of that pain and despair, the possibility that something unsavory happened to Ji Ye-won was quite possible.

‘It’s been quite a while since the double dungeon incident, so it’s time for him to start f*cking again.’

The target will be Ji Ye-won this time. I felt that way.

It wasn’t speculation without reason. Right now, the thing I want to avoid the most is having trouble with Ji Ye-won or Kang Ha-neul. Then the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure will actively use those two to inflict pain on me.

“Because it’s doubled.”

At that time, Ji Ye-won said to me, who was lost in thought.

“If you watch movies or novels, there is a death flag among the foreshadowing. If you say or do anything, you will surely die.”

“Suddenly why?”

“Isn’t our current situation just like that? A man and a woman meet for the last time before a dangerous mission. Usually, when this happens in a movie, one of them always dies.”

“Don’t say ominous things.”

“I’m doing this on purpose. A character who flirts with a death flag like this, saying that he might die with his own mouth, usually survives until the end.”

“…… hahahaha.”

Laughter burst out at the sight of him talking as if this world were a movie or a novel. Ji Ye-Won may not have expected it at all, but unfortunately, her words fit the situation we are in right now.

“Saying that makes me feel a bit less anxious.”

It wasn’t empty talk. In fact, nothing was resolved, but the anxiety actually seemed to go away a little. As she said, in the novels, those who were blatantly brash like this used to survive to the end.

‘Maybe it’s like that in this world too.’

The place I possessed was the world in the novel. If this world is still affected by the laws of fiction, the more explicit the foreshadowing, the more it will work in the opposite way.

‘…… Then, should I set up a lot of death flags in advance?’

I don’t think that’s possible, but just in case. Shall we try to tune in to Ji Ye-won’s rhythm?

“Ji Ye-won.”

“Huh?”

“If you come back safely, then I will definitely answer your feelings.”

“Suddenly, what is that…….”

Yewon guessed my intentions and smiled as she blurted out the end of her words.

“…… That’s a very blatant death flag.”

“Usually, when a line like this comes out, one of them dies for sure. When you die, from my side, ‘I’ll just answer you in advance then…’ ….’ And when I die, you’ll cry out loud in front of my grave, saying, ‘I told you you’ll answer me when you come back!'”

It sounds like a curse at first glance, but it’s not a warning that it will happen, but an ironic expression that contains a wish that will never happen.

“Look at the useless details. Write a very screenplay, really.”

“So, take care of yourself and be careful. You did that You said you would definitely reveal it when I came back, whether I choose you or Kang Ha-neul, or whether I choose to cross my legs?”

“Poo-hyuk! Hey, I said it with my own mouth, but hearing you say it yourself sounds like trash.”

Me and Yewon Ji giggled while looking at each other, wondering what was so interesting. I deliberately laughed exaggeratedly to dispel my anxiety. At least I did, and maybe Ji Ye-won did too.

“Anyway. I’ll think about it a lot while you’re there and decide. So please come back safely.”

“Okay. I will work hard to survive and will definitely come to hear your answer. Oh, I’ll have to go soon.”

After checking the watch, Yewon grabbed the handle of her suitcase that she had parked by the side of the road. I went back the way she had come with her and headed for the entrance to her park. The sound of the rolling wheels echoed as the carrier crossed over the brick-paved floor.

Like that, before long, the entrance to the park could be seen in the distance.

“An Su-ho.”

Yewon Ji, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned her body and rushed at me.

– Imprisoned.

Before I could react to her, she was held in my arms. She has a cute corner to hug before parting. Thinking so, the moment I tried to wrap my arms around her back, her arms gently wrapped around my neck.

“Ji Ye-won?”

Ji Ye-Won didn’t answer my question and pulled my hair toward her. And the next moment, her soft lips gently overlapped mine.

For a moment, the world froze.

A brief moment. The moment their lips met felt like an eternity. The touch of their warm lips melted into me like the gentle spring sunlight. The soft scent of spring flowers tickled my nose.

“Whoa.”

Then my lips fell. Ji Ye-won looked up at me with a reddened face. Sweet breath escapes from her mouth.

“Ji Ye-won. You…”

Bewildered, I blurted out the end of my words. Her lips, which had been overlapped with mine until a moment ago, opened softly and said.

“Is kissing like this at the moment of parting a death flag?”

“…… What?”

“You weren’t drunk this time, were you?”

Ji Ye-won didn’t even give me a chance to answer what she said, and she fell away from me. As if she was half-running, she ran out with her carrier and looked back at me as she stood at the entrance to the park.

“Then I’ll be back!”

Yewon Ji smiled brightly and shook her hand. She had her usual lively laugh, oozing with her signature quirky playfulness.

I waved her hand at her, and she jerked away from me as if she had no regrets anymore.

“… ….”

Before long, she disappears from her sight. Left alone, I stood there awkwardly, gently licking my lips with my finger.

I know that can’t be the case, but a faint warmth seemed to linger in the corner of her mouth where her lips touched.

Feeling the mirage-like warmth, I let out a belated sigh of regret.

‘Have a good trip.’

I should have answered that way when she said that she would come back.
