EP.74

What kind of sudden confession is this?

Dinner time before she leaves the house. I had no inkling that I would receive such a confession.

Rather, Sohee seemed to be worried about something these days.

A shadow had appeared on her face for a while, and starting yesterday, her chopsticks seemed particularly heavy.

“Yunho.”

It was dinner time when we finished our work as a plumber and ate the food we brought from the guesthouse. Sohee stopped using heavy chopsticks and called me.

“huh?”

Are you thinking of finally revealing what you’re worried about?

I was so excited for the second day with a new story that my worries disappeared and I was ready to listen to her advice on my concerns.

“In the new story. “Do you always change the name of a different beauty like that?”

“haha! Originally it had a separate name. But who is this oppa? “You approach a woman who is wearing nice clothes and look like she’s willing to spend some money, and sell her the name rights!”

“To a woman who looks like she’ll spend some money?”

“yes! Today again, I went up to the podium and before I even started talking, I looked around and thought, “Ah!” That woman will spend some money! Just look at it and then approach it! “Thanks to you, I did my part today too.”

“…huh. “It was something like that.”

Sohee smiled slightly and picked up the food again with light movements of her chopsticks.

what. I thought I would discuss other concerns.

After dinner time, Sohee left. Even then, I had no idea that she would come back and say something shocking.

—————

“Sohee? “What do you mean?”

Sohee is not a child like me who fantasizes about spending Christmas with her just because she had lunch with a female classmate a few times. This is too sudden.

“I ask you to be my husband.”

Sohee confidently spoke again as if to confirm that I had not misheard.

What on earth is going on?

Is it a penalty game?

After hearing Sohee’s sudden confession, I looked around for a moment.

I looked for the assassins in Salmak who might be looking at us with a smile.

I can’t see it. Well, if you’re hiding there, there’s no way I’ll be able to find you.

This is not the first sudden confession like this. It also happened when I was in high school.

Yunho. Actually, I’ve liked you for a while. Do you want to go out with me?

I can see you secretly watching the kids over there.

Haha! sorry! sorry!

The girl laughed awkwardly and returned to her friends who were watching her.

You idiot! Are you going to let me know?

一 What do you say? If it weren’t for you guys, I would have been fooled 100%. Let’s play another embarrassing game quickly!

Could you have been deceived? There’s no way something like that would happen to me. Although the girl I had a crush on confessed to me, I had a momentary brain freeze.

As I was staring in bewilderment at the group of girls disappearing in the opposite direction, my friends who were watching the situation approached me.

This is it. Yunho. I just confessed.

I’m a bastard. Were you excited for a moment? Let’s buy dinner to celebrate the opening of Ada.

Let’s stop and eat.

They say dating is something you do when you go to college. I will study hard, go to a good college, and date during my freshman year. I ate while talking like that in order not to show that my childhood innocence had been trampled upon.

Of course, that didn’t happen.

Even if you go to a good college, it doesn’t mean you start dating as a freshman.

I looked at Sohee’s face as she suddenly confessed.

His expression was extremely serious, but his eyes were trembling. It was clear that he was worried about what he would do if he was rejected.

‘You really proposed?’

For a person to decide to get married, there must be a big emotional connection. It would be too unexpected to propose like this.

After meeting and getting to know each other, we walked down the street together, made memories, shared the past, and when our emotions became passionate, we hugged each other. Then, as our relationship deepened, we actively engaged in skinship…

‘I did it all.’

I do that difficult thing. I am.

what. What have I been doing all this time?

Could it be that I was dating without my knowledge?

no. Anyway, that went too far.

“Sohee. Are you asking your brother to marry you now?”

Sohee, if that happens, your brother is bigamy.

If Sohee’s marriage mindset is that of finding a new employee at a small or medium-sized business, it could be a good thing.

A society where experienced workers like me are treated well. Isn’t it great?

“marriage?”

Sohee tilted her head slightly at my words.

“huh? “Didn’t you propose to your brother?”

“….”

Her expression froze for a moment.

Then he quickly lowered his head.

“Sohee?”

“…. Infiltrated Daeheung County. “I’m asking for help.”

Then yes.

Was it a communication mistake?

You can’t see Sohee’s face, but her pure white neck is redder than usual.

“Can I hear more about what’s going on, brother?”

I need to hear an explanation of what happened.

*************

After finishing his meal with Yunho, Cheon Sal-seong headed to Salmak’s Chilgok-hyeon branch.

“You’re here. “Sit down.”

The middle-aged branch manager, who was sipping tea in the secret room again today, spoke.

“what’s the matter.”

Unlike usual, Sohee sat on a chair this time and asked.

“What would be the point of calling on Cheonsalseong? “It’s a new mission.”

“Where is it?”

“Daeheunghyeon. “The request is to kill the head of the castle.”

It’s a familiar name. So much so that it is very easy to predict who the client is.

“I refuse.”

I just need to be by Yunho’s side. Now you don’t have to go assassinating. With that in mind, Cheonsalseong refused the assassination mission.

“It’s happening again. Because I was given a mission that came from a nearby place on purpose. Do it this time. “I am concerned that the last massacre may have turned the world of heaven into a dark place.”

“Do you have to do it?”

“Even if I tell you that you’re okay, you keep making a fuss from above, asking me to check at the main headquarters. This time, let’s at least pretend to receive a mission and get confirmation that it’s normal. “I also think that this is an opportunity to reduce some of the remaining weight.”

Salsim.

Cheonsalseong was troubled by those words.

When I’m by Yunho’s side, my worries disappear. However, if you leave Yunho’s side, you will lose your sense of purpose.

‘If I assassinate, will my desire to live disappear?’

Maybe 30 people weren’t enough in the shanty town. The flesh that is hidden inside like a residual fire. If you assassinate him, the lingering fire may be extinguished.

Even if it doesn’t work, it’s worth trying an assassination mission once.

‘If you want to assassinate me, I have to take Yunho with me.’

If you don’t want to lose your sense of purpose, you must take him with you. At that thought, Sohee’s shoulders became heavy.

I’ll give you the mission in just a few days. What would be his reaction if I told him that he should leave this place now that his income is good again?

Wouldn’t they be harsh and tell me to go alone? Sohee thought for a moment as Yunho told her to go alone. Then, even if it was just a little, my heart felt tingly.

I need Yunho. Yunho doesn’t need himself.

When Sohee Cheon thought that, her shoulders slumped without her knowledge.

“Do you know that your expression has become more interesting these days?”

The branch manager smiled and spoke to Cheon So-hee, who was lost in thought.

“I?”

It’s getting fun. I’m not having fun at all right now. However, the branch manager looked at her dissatisfied face and laughed even louder.

“haha! I didn’t know what he was thinking because he always had an expressionless expression. “I feel more like a person now.”

“I was always human.”

Does the man want to say that he is not a human being but a mortal being?

“No. It wasn’t a person, it was a lifesaver! I have to put a lot of strength into my shoulders, so I can fly. Always a lone wolf. Hehehe. Just like the novice assassins in Salmak who think this is bullshit.”

The branch manager shrugged his shoulders with a bewildered expression, as if he had imagined the situation.

“Salsu is inherently lonely.”

“Tsk tsk. This is the problem. Salmak main mountain cubs. It’s better to raise them in an old, centuries-old, tradition-based way. Salsu’s heart! Don’t be afraid to kill! It will be a ruthless and thorough killing! “How long are you going to teach me this damn thing?”

“That’s how you live.”

“You are a mortal, so you can endure for a long time with that mindset. “Do you know that none of those who give answers like that live long?”

“Can’t I live long?”

“Lonely life is good! But does a novice shooter succeed every time? These guys always say they never lose sight of the tension! You always miss it once and are in danger of being left behind. Then think about it. I have to kill at least one more guy. “You crazy bastards.”

The branch manager gritted his teeth as if he had a grudge against the novice assassins. But Cheon So-hee couldn’t understand that kind of man.

“If it’s a situation where you’re going to die, it’s better to send at least one more person…”

“Do you really think that? “Then close your eyes for a moment.”

The branch manager spoke to Cheon So-hee with a straight face.

Cheon So-hee closed her eyes in silence at the serious attitude of the branch manager.

“Imagine a desperate crisis in which you are surrounded by enemies and cannot escape.”

“…I imagined it.”

Countless enemies. injured body. I thought of myself like that.

“Think about whether there is any reason to return alive in a hopeless situation.”

Cheon So-hee was puzzled by the branch manager’s words.

I’m going to die anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to kill at least one more person while thinking such weak thoughts?

Is there any reason to live in a hopeless situation?

‘Sohee.’

Sohee’s face was distorted at the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind.

“Look. “You know?”

The branch manager said with a knowing look.

“….”

She couldn’t answer, but the branch manager could read everything on her face.

“They say that the shooter shouldn’t create a weak spot or anything like that. That’s just bullshit from the headquarters. Only Salsu who has something precious in his heart can survive for a long time. “If you want to retire like me, make sure you have a place to return to.”

The man said, nodding towards a woman outside the secret room.

The branch manager’s wife works at a branch disguised as a tea shop. The wife was outside.

“It’s my husband!!! “I told you to organize it quickly when the tea comes in!!!”

“… Sometimes I don’t want to come back.”

The branch manager smiled bitterly and said.

“okay. “I will accept this mission.”

Cheon So-hee said with a small smile.

“okay. “Fake identities are the problem…”

The branch leader and Sohee began discussing the mission and mission plan.

————

“Be my husband.”

Sohee looked at Yunho and recalled the conversation she had with the branch manager a little while ago.

Did you receive an invitation to speak with her? There is no need for a fake identity or anything. I can just act as a wife and go.

I can’t put Yunho in danger. And it’s okay to go as a guard, but there’s no reason to act as a wife.

Outside warriors can’t enter the inside. You should be at least the wife of an invited guest. And what danger is it when you’re going to protect me by my side? Aren’t you worried about assassinating someone and getting caught?

They say your job is to kill them after the party, not on the day of the party like last time. I won’t make the same mistake again.

Then. Go and ask him to be your husband. How much money would you refuse that man? Let’s go together.

Would Yunho really give up his job and follow him?

I need him. Does Yunho think he is needed?

Sohee spoke to Yunho with a trembling heart.

******

“Is that what it was? Then let’s go. “Sohee.”

After receiving a detailed explanation from Sohee, I agreed.

“really?”

Sohee’s eyes widened, she put her chin forward, looked up at me, and asked back.

“okay. Daeheunghyeon. You don’t have to worry if Sohee protects you. let’s go.”

After the last incident, I took a shower with the incense that Sohee gave me.
