Chapter 23 The City of Traps.=========================================================================

After the meeting, I took Ahn Hyun’s guidance and examined Ahn Sol’s condition right away. When I saw him sleeping on a bedding, I felt sorry for him. When I put my hand on my forehead and checked the inside, Ansol’s mana was messed up as expected. I didn’t go too far, so after some time, I would go back to my original place due to the midnight action, but I decided to help.

“I think it would be better to have a nurse who takes care of Ansol at dawn.”

“I’ll do that.”

Of course, I shook my head when I saw Ahn Hyun, who said he would do it. As I turned my eyes over the window, darkness had fallen outside. Ahn Hyun’s eyes were already full of fatigue a little while ago. It must have all consumed considerable force throughout the day. He seemed to be holding out with his mind, but it was difficult to interfere with his actions tomorrow.

“You look tired. Go out and take a nap. I’ll keep an eye on him.”

“Aren’t you sleeping?”

“Later. Let the girls sleep tight tonight and we’ll see Ansol on our shifts. I’ll wake you up in moderation later, so let’s switch.”

“Oh, shift. That’ll do. Then I’ll take care of my brother.”

I replaced the answer with a nod. Ahn stumbles and closes the door. I still have something to ask, but I could see Ahn Hyun barely holding back his desire to sleep, so I thought it would be better to ask him next time when I have relatively free time. I was going to organize my thoughts because I was confused with trap points and the attitude of the party. But I’ll have to do what I have to do before that’s all.

After checking that the door was closed, I calmly created a spell. Soon as a ripple occurred on the surface of the calm water, a light scarlet energy began to flow in my right hand. Slowly reached out and laid her hand in the middle of her chest, then projected horsepower directly inside. Since you’re treating me, it would be okay to give me a little service.

It is quite difficult to fix a case where mana flows back too much or a circuit along the bloodstream is twisted. But it was easy to calm down and untangle the overdrive horsepower. Ansol’s body flinched for a moment as the energy of my mana, which floated the nature of pure fire, flowed in.

Mana varies in characteristics depending on the individual’s propensity. Her magical properties that I feel now were good and white. At first, I mumbled nervously at my overwhelming spell, but I hugged the sol’s spells as gently and sweetly as I could so that they wouldn’t surprise me. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m here to help. You’re nice, aren’t you? Stay calm. As I continued to embrace Sol’s mana with a soothing feeling, I soon began to fight and flock to the place where my mana was, perhaps recognizing that I had come to help.

I managed to keep her as flexible as I could to keep her from being surprised. Then, as if to pat her first, I thought she was cute when I saw her mana rubbing around. Scrub the entire body to stabilize the surprised area and untangle the mess. At the end of the process, her face was flushed with redness. Your face looks comfortable, too. Are you having a happy dream?

There was one thing that caught me. When he tried to collect the mana after sweeping his entire body, Ansol’s mana clung together. I could barely catch my breath after I tried to pull her inner mana away and just gave her a little more time to hold her back.

When I finished the work, it seemed like about an hour had passed. It seemed to have taken some time unexpectedly because he looked at it in detail and cheered me up. There’s nothing really bothering me outside the room. I think everyone snored. After stretching my hands to the fullest extent, I plopped down to my seat. There is nothing to do anyway, so it would be better to close your eyes even for a moment.

How long has it been? Someone opened the door to the room and closed his eyes at the sign of coming in. There was a pitch-black darkness sitting around. When he turned his head, In-young, who has a strong physique, sneaked his head in and made eye contact with me. Lee Yu-jung had short hair and Kim Han-byul had straight hair that came down to her shoulders. It was not either of them, so it was Anhyun.

“You must have been tired today. You can sleep more.”

When he greeted in a calm voice, he didn’t answer for a while. I could only see him staring at me. I could see the silence of a minute and Ahn Hyun’s mouth slowly opened.

“No, I’m so worried that I can’t sleep well. “How’s Sol doing?”

“I’ve improved a lot. Enough to wake up tomorrow. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“Really? That’s a relief. Hey, brother, then….”



I felt that he was hesitating unlike Ahn Hyun. But I waited calmly for him to speak. For some reason, I felt like I should do it now. And Ahn Hyun immediately opened his mouth.

“There’s something I want to talk to you about. But it’s not good here.”

“As much as you want. Shall we go to the rooftop?”

“Yes.”

Apparently, Ahn Hyun didn’t sleep much either. Perhaps it was complicated because there were many thoughts and problems with Ahn Sol. Reading the sincerity in his voice, I immediately lifted myself up.

In the living room, Lee Yu-jung was sleeping with her bedding tightly hugged. Kim Han-byeol seemed to be sleeping in another room, which was invisible. Carefully unlocking the lock so that they wouldn’t wake up, I quietly went up to the rooftop with Anhyun.

I feel like my head is clearing up as I breathe the cold air from the night breeze on the rooftop. We stood so silent for a moment, looking at the pitch-black city in front of us. It was Anhyun who opened his mouth first.

“Brother, this city is so quiet.”

“Yes, it’s suspiciously quiet. But don’t let your guard down.”

At my words, Ahn Hyun looked lonely and soon smiled with self-help. I could roughly guess what the face meant, but now I had to wait and see what he had to say.

“I think you’re really something.”

“What. He’s the same person. He’s not that great.”

“No, that’s not it. That’s not what I want to say.”

Ahn shook his head, denying it three times in a row. His face was full of confusion and impotence. It wasn’t that I didn’t know how he felt, but I was still vague, so I shut up just to listen to him more.

“I had a lot of thoughts after my brother left today. When I was with my brother, I felt that we get along really well. Maybe not my brother, but I thought the five of us could get out of here together.”

“I think so, too.”

“Yes, but it wasn’t. You said that. Look after the other kids. But I couldn’t lead the kids well. You were knocked down by strange things and your brush was in danger. You felt something weird while watching Yoojung and Hanbyeol, right? They had a fight. Let’s go save him, let’s not go.”

Ahn Hyun became a troubled face as he talked for a long time. But his words didn’t stop.

“But what I really hated was…I wasn’t able to make any choice at the time. I couldn’t even stop him. I’ll be there, as if you’re just saying you’re doing it. That’s all I had to do. My chest was so stuffy.”

“…….”

“If it weren’t for you, I’d still be thinking about this. How about tomorrow? Will I be able to do well? I struggled with this pressure and thought I just wanted to die.”

“Anhyun.”

He talked to Ahn to stop him from becoming more emotional, but he shook his head again. It was a sign that there was still more to be said.

“But then my brother showed up. Like a miracle. Do you know what I felt as soon as I saw you? Thanks? No. Sorry? No. It was a relief. I’m sure you’ll do whatever you want. If it’s you, you’ll believe something. It’s actually like that. As soon as my brother came, the atmosphere got better and Sol’s condition got better. My brother is always calm and calm. The feeling of not being shaken? I think it’s different from us. I don’t know what it is, but there must be something else.”

Ahn Hyun’s last words hurt my stomach for a moment, but I was able to maintain a calm expression. I opened my mouth in a quiet voice as I saw the string drooping as if I had said all I had to say.

“Then can I say a word? It won’t be that long.”

“It’s okay if it’s long. I’ll listen carefully.”

I grinned as I saw him responding in a light voice. Then slowly approached and put his hand on his head. Ahn Hyun looked up again with a surprised face and looked at me.

“It’s okay if you want to rely on it, or if you feel this pressure. Rather, I think it’s”

“Fortunately?”

“Think about what we were like in the woods. You didn’t mean to do everything on your own like that trouble maker. That doesn’t mean I’ve suppressed other people. When I gave a rough opinion, Yoo-jung and Han-byeol carefully examined it and gave additional opinions. And I and you gathered that opinion and chose the best way to think.”

“…….”

“We are all helping you. It’s natural to feel pressured, but you don’t have to bear all the burdens. Even if things go wrong, I think it’s all our responsibility, not just you.”

“But….”

Anhyun tried to say something, but this time I raised my hand and stopped him. Ahn Hyun, who was about to open his mouth, closed his mouth again to see if he understood my signal.

“You can see me great, but on the contrary, I think you are great. You brought your scaredy-cat here and you always act quickly. You might want to rely on me just like Ansol relies on you. I, Yoojung, and Hanbyeol might have something to rely on you and Ansol. The five of them join forces to escape from this place. That’s the first thing you said to me. But then what you said was quite contradictory. It’s not wrong to rely on each other.”

I was going to say it briefly, but it got a little longer when I talked here and there. But now it’s unstoppable, so I’ve decided to go on with the last word.

“We’ll share the burden with you. So you do what you can do. That’s enough.”

“What I Can Do….”

“Yes, what you can do. You don’t have to worry about anything else, do you? The rest of us will help you as much as we can.”

I got hit by the night breeze while looking at Ahn Hyun slowly reflecting on my words. Today, I even felt itchy because the night wind was shaking. After enough time to drink a cup of tea, Ahn Hyun raised his head. When he came up to the rooftop, his eyes were not unstable, but his eyes were quiet and heavy when he first saw them. And Ahn Hyun had a sense of relief on his face as if he had relieved some of his worries.
