“Then I will go back. Woo Seo-hyuk, follow me.”
“Yes.”
After checking the performance of the shackles and chains, Cheon Sa-yeon took Woo Seo-hyuk and left the room without any regrets. On the other hand, Park Geon-ho and Kwon Jeong-han didn’t seem to have any intention of going out.
“Aren’t you two going?”
“Oh, my. I have been out of work for a long time.”
“I’m still Hyung’s bodyguard, though?”
“What?”
“Master didn’t discharge me.”
This was a bit surprising. It was an ability that could be used in many ways, so I thought Cheon Sa-yeon would have sent him somewhere else sooner.
“I had nothing to do while Hyung abandoned me…”
“I didn’t abandon you…”
“I’m going to stick with you from now on.”
“Ha, haha…”
An awkward smile came out as I listened to Kwon Jeong-han, who spoke brightly with his eyes closed. I slowly backed away and approached Min Ah-rin.
“Well, Min Ah-rin-ssi.”
“Yes?”
“If you don’t mind, could you come and see how Kim Woo-jin is doing in his room alone?”
Min Ah-rin blinked her eyes a few times at my question and then nodded.
“I will. I was a little worried too.”
“I beg you. Please tell him that my ankle is okay.”
Kwon Jeong-han, who was listening to Min Ah-rin’s conversation with me, kindly added an explanation.
“Kim Woo-jin-seonbaenim is in the room right upstairs. He couldn’t walk properly, so he couldn’t go to his original room.”
“……”
The words that he couldn’t walk properly became a thorn and stabbed a corner of my chest painfully. When I remembered Kim Woo-jin, who sat down and cried blankly, anxiety flooded over me.
‘…still, I believe Min Ah-rin will tell him honestly. Maybe we will see each other again tomorrow.’
Then we should have a proper conversation. I had to apologize too.
Min Ah-rin left, and Park Geon-ho and Kwon Jeong-han entered the kitchen and I quickly headed to the bedroom. I couldn’t lock the door because of the dragging chain, so I closed it as much as I could and opened my mouth in a low voice.
“Fox.”
Piik!
At my call, Fox sitting on the table dispelled his invisibility. As I expected, I was relieved to see him hiding well with the sword.
“Good job. Let’s move the sword somewhere else in this gap.”
Where would be a good place. After contemplating, I eventually lifted up the bed mattress that had previously hidden Ha Tae-heon’s cell phone. I couldn’t use my ability because of the shutter item, so I had to do it myself while whining.
After carefully lifting the mattress in half to avoid making as much noise as possible, I put the sword under it. Please don’t look around here. I cleaned up the crumpled sheets from holding the mattress and wiped my palms.
‘Let’s just leave it there until we go to meet Ha Tae-heon later.’
Piiik.
Fox, who had no need of invisibility, flew gently and landed on my shoulder. Kwon Jeong-han asked me as I left the bedroom with a more comfortable mind after hiding the sword neatly.
“Yi-gyeol-hyung. Are you not hungry?”
Come to think of it, I hadn’t eaten anything all day. As I nodded to the belated hunger, he led me to the table.
“Please eat.”
Seeing the table full of sandwiches, I blinked in embarrassment.
“Did you just buy it?”
“I didn’t. It was in the refrigerator.”
It was in the refrigerator? The sandwiches looked fresh as if they had just been bought. Park Geon-ho picked up a sandwich on the plate and took a bite.
“Delicious.”
“Why do you eat as you please?”
“Aya.”
Park Geon-ho, who put the food in the refrigerator in my room before me, was disgusted and stabbed me in the side with his elbow.
“I think it’s Kim Woo-jin-seonbaenim’s craftmanship.”
“Kim Woo-jin?”
“I’ve seen him go to the 23rd floor with a mart bag several times. Even when Yi-gyeol-hyung wasn’t here.”
“……”
It was then that I realized that it was the same sandwich that Kim Woo-jin had made for me over and over before.
He didn’t know when I would be back. Maybe Kim Woo-jin did the cleaning too, right? In an instant, my mind became complicated. Suddenly, the confidence to reconcile with Kim Woo-jin disappeared. He must have been very disappointed and angry with me, but I didn’t know if he would forgive me after saying a few words of apology.
“Yi-gyeol-ssi.”
“Ah, Min Ah-rin-ssi.”
My appetite dropped and I just looked at the sandwich, but just then, Min Ah-rin, who had gone upstairs, came back. I asked hurriedly.
“How is he? Is he okay?”
“That’s…”
Min Ah-rin, who lowered her eyebrows, answered in a weak voice.
“I haven’t met him.”
“What?”
“Because he didn’t open the door.”
“……”
He didn’t open it…
The tension was relieved and a great sense of disappointment set in. Was he mad enough to refuse to meet me…
“Um, we can meet tomorrow. I think Woo-jin-ssi was very surprised today.”
“…yes. I understand. Thank you, Min Ah-rin-ssi.”
I smiled forcely at Min Ah-rin, who comforted me by barely suppressing my depressed mood.
* * *
Late at night, finally alone, I took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes, then looked around the room once again.
As Woo Seo-hyuk said that no one had used it, there was no significant change from before I left. There were no traces of clothing and daily necessities, as well as furniture such as bed, used by someone else.
It was only then that I realized that I had come back. Looking up at the hazy night sky covered with dark clouds through the bedroom window, I took out my cell phone, which I hadn’t looked at since I was so busy.

The vibration was incredible… who the hell made this call?
I opened my mouth slightly in surprise when I checked the hundreds of missed calls, text messages, and messenger records piled up. What was all this.
「Hong Si-ah: Talented Han Yi-gyeol. Are you busy?」
「Hong Si-ah: I can’t contact you!」
「Hong Si-ah: If you see this later, please call me once. Soo-yeon worries a lot.」
I read the messenger Hong Si-ah sent and remembered Cha Soo-yeon, who had forgotten. Oops, if she found out that I forgot about her, I would get a hit…
「Cha Soo-yeon: Really, don’t contact me first?」
「Cha Soo–yeon: You still can’t go out?」
「Cha Soo-yeon: Why are you not answering the phone? Please contact me.」
「Cha Soo-yeon: Are you alive?」
「Cha Soo-yeon: Ya… what’s wrong with you?」
「Cha Soo-yeon: I met Ha Tae-heon-ssi. Did you go to China? Call me later when you come back.」
‘She met Ha Tae-heon? I’m worried about something…’
First of all, it was past 10 p.m. now, so I thought it would be better to call tomorrow morning. I continued to scroll down the messenger. Familiar names popped up as I passed some chats and advertisements sent by Kim Soo-hwan.
「Park Geon-ho: Is it okay to go to China alone?」
「Park Geon-ho: I think I’m going to die of boredom.」
I frowned slightly at the word ‘China’. There was nothing strange about Cha Soo-yeon, who met Ha Tae-heon in person, but how did Park Geon-ho know that I went to China?
「Min Ah-rin: Yi-gyeol-ssi, they said that there is a new delicious pizza restaurant in the alley across the street.」
「Min Ah-rin: I hope we can go together later.」
「Min Ah-rin: Absolutely good news! A new dessert has arrived at the guild cafe!」
「Min Ah-rin: I’m patiently waiting to eat together until Yi-gyeol-ssi comes back. Therefore…」
「Min Ah-rin: You come back, right?」
“……”
「Kim Woojin: I miss you.」
I smiled bitterly and swiped the text on the screen with my thumb. The feeling went down endlessly.
‘I should have told them before I left…’
I thought I would leave for a while for some reason. I would definitely come back though, so I hoped they didn’t worry too much. Take care until we meet again…
It was a choice I made to protect Kwon Jeong-han’s ability to easily dig up other people’s secrets and Ha Tae-heon, who willingly helped me… Now that I thought about it, I guessed it was too irresponsible. It wouldn’t have been a big deal if we talked about that.
I was inconsiderate to the person who trusted me and gave me affection. A sigh of relief flowed out of the belated remorse and regret.
Thud. Thud.
After staring at my cell phone for a long time, I looked up at the sound of a knock on the window. The sky seemed dark for some reason, and eventually thick raindrops started to fall.
As if there was a hole in the sky, I stared at the rain pouring outside and thought of Kim Woo-jin, who would be alone in the room upstairs like me. Suddenly, feelings of nervousness surged.
Min Ah-rin said she would be able to meet Kim Woojin tomorrow, but… was that true? What if he didn’t like seeing me again tomorrow and the next day?
It was said that there was a timing for apologizing. Did you believe that tomorrow would be a little better, and didn’t even think that the last chance would disappear?
“Fox.”
After thinking about it, I called Fox who was rolling around on the blanket. Piiik. Fox that flew landed on my palm.
“Can you carry me and fly?”
Piik?
He did well with that heavy sword. Just in case I asked, Fox tilted his head and cried happily.
Piiik. Pii.
“You mean you can?”
Pik!
Fox raised his chin and just pushed out his chest. I was in awe of that confident pose.
“You’re the best.”
In the meantime, I also had wind power, so I didn’t because I didn’t have much interest in it. As Elohim had said, I was very fortunate to have brought Fox.
“All you have to do is help me not to fall.”
When I opened the window, a strong wind and cold raindrops hit me. I pulled my upper body out of the window and looked up.
The room where Kim Woo-jin was in was right above me. So, the window I saw over there was probably the window in Kim Woo-jin’s room. I checked the window frames and the jagged walls that could be held by hand or stepped on.
Piiik.
Fox, who came out of the window before me, blinked.
“Please help me. I beg you.”
Piik!
Even if I slipped and fell anyway, I wouldn’t die because there was a chain attached to my ankle… It was true that I was nervous because it was night and raining.
Having made up my mind, I put my feet on the window sill and leaned out my upper body. Huuung, the rain and the wind fluttered my hair and T-shirt.
Stepping on the window sill protruding outward, I slowly got up and grabbed the wall protruding from above. My body was quickly wet from the pouring rain.
Piiik, piik.
As I staggered, Fox supported my back. Thanks to this, I became much more stable, and this time I raised my legs and climbed to the top of the window sill. There was the sound of cold window sills and chains clashing against my bare feet.
I could see the window of Kim Woo-jin’s room at a close distance. If I gave my lower body strength and jump high, I could reach it. Hwiing, my wet bangs swayed in the harsh wind.
Everything was so wet that it looked like I was going to slip at any moment. I forced my gaze downward and swallowed dry saliva.
“Huu…”
I took a deep breath and then ran vigorously. With Fox’s power who pushed my back in a timely manner, I could barely hold onto the window frame of Kim Woo-jin’s room. I jumped on the wall that quickly protruded and climbed up on the window sill.
“I almost died. Thanks.”
Piiik.
Slowly, my wet body began to tremble. It was very cold because it was raining and windy in the middle of the night. After roughly wiping the wet windows with my palms, I looked into the room.
It wasn’t clear because the light was off inside, but the black image sitting on the edge of the bed could be seen glimmering. I carefully knocked on the window.
Knock, knock.
I was worried that it might be covered by the sound of rain, but fortunately, the other person turned around to see if he could hear it properly, and jumped to his feet. The owner of the room rushed to the window and opened it without hesitation.
“Han Yi-gyeol? What the…!”
Kim Woo-jin saw me and shouted with a shocked expression. As if he had been crying again, his eyes, which were exposed in the pale moonlight, were exceptionally red.
Water dripped from my wet hair. Feeling the raindrops running down my cheeks, I smiled softly at Kim Woo-jin.
“Hello, Kim Woo-jin.”
