Episode 30
Even as I reacted this way, there wasn’t the slightest shift in Cha Yuhyeon’s expression. He simply stood there in silence, looking down at me as if to say: go ahead, try if you’ve got something to say.
‘What on earth is this person?’
Even thinking it over for a moment, nothing came to mind that could describe him.
I met his gaze directly and continued.
“I’ll keep my mouth shut just as you want.”
“You sure speak—”
“Whether you bury this or blast it to the outside, I’ll stay quiet.”
…….
“Don’t think you can drag me in later as some kind of witness.”
With that, I turned on my heel without mercy and slipped out of the Storage Room.
It wasn’t that I’d forgotten I was supposed to be cleaning. The interior air had simply become unbearable, and I was also seething at Cha Yuhyeon’s threatening tone from moments before.
Ding!
[ The Guardian of Taewon says it would be good for you to wipe away the tears gathered at the corner of your eyes first. ]
Ah, right.
I was heading toward the stairs when I gently pressed the sleeve of my jacket against one eye.
Just moments before, I’d put too much tension in my eyes, and tears had welled up the instant I turned my back to him.
‘If I’d blinked there, I’d have lost.’
Even in a staring contest, you have to push through with momentum.
“……Hah.”
A hollow laugh escaped at the silly thought.
What was it that made me feel oddly satisfied over something so trivial?
Before long, I’d passed through the lobby of the Experimental Building and stepped outside.
Whether it was because I’d come up in an agitated rush, or for some other reason, I was moving far faster than when I’d first entered this place.
‘Was it always like this outside?’
Standing with my back to the glass door, I took a long, deep breath.
The air that normally touched my skin without a second thought now felt as refreshing as an oasis in the desert.
As I made my way toward the Dormitory, I found myself glancing back over my shoulder once or twice anyway.
Two of us had gone in, but only one of us was coming out.
‘Is he actually planning to bury me?’
Since I hadn’t spent enough time around him to be certain, I couldn’t jump to conclusions—but it was true that he was faster at reading situations and acting on them than anyone else I knew.
‘So maybe he’s not coming out because—’
……I don’t know. I have no idea.
What he was doing in there right now and what plans he was making afterward—that was no longer my concern. He might even be better off without me as an obstacle, free to do as he pleased.
Lost in these thoughts, my feet had already carried me all the way into my dorm room.
I closed the door slowly, then immediately checked the left bed.
‘Thank goodness.’
Hye-rin lay with her body turned toward the wall, breathing steadily. Not wanting to wake her, I tiptoed toward the opposite bed.
‘This smells terrible.’
Whether it had seeped in during my absence or for some other reason, a musty odor wafted up as my hair fell forward.
The moment I saw the bed, I wanted to just collapse onto it, but this wasn’t the kind of exhaustion I could brush aside with willpower alone.
Just as I hurried to pull off my hoodie—
Thud.
“Aah!”
A sound tore from me like a death cry. I gasped sharply and crouched down on the spot. Then I wiggled my pinky toe hard and stared at the object that had skittered across the floor.
‘God, that hurts…….’
I genuinely thought I’d stopped breathing.
[ The Guardian of Taewon grimaces, saying it doesn’t enjoy secondhand pain like this, and casts a sympathetic look your way. ]
I wiped away the tears that had gathered at the corners of my eyes and picked up the culprit.
‘Why is this here?’
I touched the screen out of habit and confirmed it wasn’t mine—not with a background that sentimental.
Besides, I didn’t even like the sea.
‘Who is it? Oh—’
The answer came easily.
A scene flashed back to me: receiving it absentmindedly from Cha Yuhyeon before he vanished into the Storage Room.
Once the pain had faded to a manageable level, I carefully got to my feet.
‘Will he be alright?’
If even I would find it scary to be alone in such a dark, gloomy place.
[ The Guardian of Taewon advises that since the Assassination Path thrives in darkness, if you have the luxury to worry, worry about your contractor’s future instead. ]
The guardian was right. Instead of worrying about the Assassination Path, I needed to worry about my own current state.
Right, let me wash up first. I can give it back to him tomorrow morning.
For now, facing him again felt a bit awkward.
I set my mobile phone down near the pillow and headed for the bathroom.
* * *
‘Why won’t it turn off!’
I pulled the blanket up over my head and frowned. That blasted trumpet sound had been going off since earlier, and just when I was trying to fall back asleep, it would blare again.
‘Is this a dream? Yeah, this has to be a dream…….’
Damn it. I forced my heavy eyes open, irritably yanked down the blanket I’d pulled up to my chin, and sat up. Then I turned toward the sound—only to see Hye-rin still asleep in the bed next to mine.
‘She’s something else.’
Through all this noise, Hye-rin had barely stirred. What made it worse was that the moment I sat up, the trumpet sound stopped abruptly.
Ding!
[ The Guardian of Taewon startles and drops the empty tray it had been holding. ]
What did you see to be that shocked?
[ The Guardian of Taewon stands staring with mouth agape, muttering that the sun must be rising in the west. ]
I have no idea what that’s about.
Still dazed, I sat there for a moment, then flopped back onto the bed. The moment the back of my head hit the soft pillow, I closed my eyes again.
‘Since Hye-rin hasn’t woken up yet, maybe I can sleep a little more――’
Ding-ding!
I’m going to lose my mind.
I got up without hesitation and looked around. The moment I sat up, the sound seemed to come from slightly farther away, which meant it had to be――
‘Coming from right nearby.’
I searched through the blankets, the desk beside me, and even the pockets of my gym clothes hanging on the chair, but the sound kept blaring relentlessly.
Then, just as I was lifting the pillow naturally――
‘What is this?’
The sound became unmistakably clear.
I picked it up and silenced the alarm first. It fit perfectly in my hand like it was mine, but when I saw the lock screen that appeared, I realized it wasn’t.
‘Is he out of his mind?’
What exactly is this guy doing right now?
The time was still 5:30 in the morning. In other words, everyone should be deep in dreamland.
‘Thanks to him, I’m having a forced Miracle Morning.’
Irritation washed over me and my mind began to sharpen despite itself.
Now I understood why the guardian had reacted that way. Except for exam periods, I’d never woken up at this hour in my entire life.
In the silence that followed, I smiled contentedly and closed my eyes. I buried myself in the soft blanket, and before long, my mind seemed to drift away.
Ding-ding!
“…….”
Should I just march over there and throw it at him?
* * *
“We went together, but one of us did it and one of us didn’t? How does that make sense?”
“……I apologize.”
“If it were just a matter of lacking stamina, I could understand that. But then you should at least be sincere about it. Ha-ryeong, I’ve got to say, I’m feeling a bit betrayed.”
If I’d taken a job instead of enrolling at the Academy at this age, would I be feeling this way right now?
Either way, forced awake at 5:45 in the morning, I finished all my preparations with time to spare—a first since I’d enrolled.
Then, before heading to the Main Building, I stopped by the Dorm Supervisor’s Office to return the access card I’d carelessly thrown on my desk.
‘If only it weren’t for that promise――!’
I lowered my head further down. Still, the words coming from ahead were utterly brutal.
“Do you want more Penalty Points and to wait on the sidelines, or would you rather clean the Dorm Supervisor’s Office morning and evening for a month?”
It sounded like she was doing me a favor, but even a passing elementary school student would’ve caught on.
No beating around the bush—pick the latter. Only after that could my feet move toward the Main Building.
‘Is it really okay for one person to be that clever?’
After I left last night, Cha Yuhyeon apparently stayed behind and finished cleaning alone.
‘From the supervisor’s reaction, it doesn’t seem like he did anything beyond cleaning.’
Yeah, fine, that’s all good. But this uncomfortable feeling kept creeping back and I couldn’t shake it off.
I ascended the Central Staircase with heavy footsteps, heading for Class A.
Thanks to arriving so early, the hallway was completely deserted. I’d planned to slip his mobile phone onto his desk while I had the chance and leave.
‘Oh, it’s open?’
The back door of Class A was slightly ajar, which meant someone was already here.
‘If I go in now, I’ll just end up causing a misunderstanding.’
I was thinking maybe I should come back during break, passing by the back door, when――
Creak.
A sound came from somewhere as a door opened.
C-Rank, yet all the S-Ranks are obsessed with me
