Episode 34
The first thing I saw when my eyes opened was a distant, slate-gray sky.
‘She said it would rain tomorrow.’
Hye Rin might have been right after all.
Well, maybe it’ll be fine anyway. Class A was ahead of us, but still.
‘At least Cha Yu Hyun is there.’
He might have made a wiser decision than I would in this situation.
Just like the instructor kept emphasizing—the me from some unknowable past was hopelessly ignorant.
As I let my thoughts drift, a hollow laugh escaped before I could stop it.
“Ah……!”
Then my entire body screamed in agony. Even when I’d first woken up in the hospital after my Awakening, it hadn’t hurt like this.
A high-pitched whine erupted around my ears, muffled and distorted.
The acrid smell of cordite brushed my nostrils, and with it came another scent—faintly familiar.
“…….”
I turned my stiff neck slowly. My vision caught the sharp line of someone’s jaw and lips pressed tight together.
My gaze didn’t stop there, but drifted upward by degrees.
Long lashes, hair I’d come to know far too well, and blood smeared across the skin—only then did my foggy mind begin to clear.
‘Why is he here.’
I tried to push myself up immediately, shifting my torso.
“Ugh!”
But even the slightest movement brought a wave of pain, as if I’d been pummeled relentlessly. I could only stare at the sky and breathe in ragged gasps.
Then, suddenly aware of something heavy pressing against my body, I forced my head up with effort.
‘Insane bastard.’
That was the only word that came to mind.
Once I understood what was happening, all the tension drained from my neck. My head was fine—I felt no pain there at all.
I took a deep breath and forced my parched lips open.
“……Hey.”
My voice came out rough, as if I’d inhaled dust moments before.
But there was no response. Even when I tried calling his name, his lips remained stubbornly silent.
Finally, I grabbed the arm wrapped around my abdomen and pulled it away, then slowly pushed myself up.
“Hey, Baek Sun Woo.”
I crouched over him, scanning his condition quickly despite the pain.
‘Is that a problem.’
Blood ran down from one side of his forehead to his chin.
If he’d taken the impact like this, his left shoulder, arm, and side where my head had been resting couldn’t possibly be unharmed.
My own exposed arms were already burning so badly I could barely stand it.
“Ha…….”
Wasn’t he supposed to protect his own body first, at least
‘He’s a Tanker, for god’s sake.’
Even among Dealers, Archers had low stamina—almost as fragile as Support Class.
I looked down at Baek Sun Woo, who still wasn’t moving, and let out a heavy sigh.
“Just stay here for a moment.”
The words tumbled out like a muttered thought. But even to my own ears, irritation bled through my voice.
I couldn’t name exactly why I felt this way. I’d thought about hitting him before, sure, but I’d never wanted it to be like this.
‘First, I need to get a Healer.’
That was what I was thinking as I started to stand, my aching body protesting.
“Where are you going.”
A low voice caught my ankle.
“……Ha.”
The shock made a hollow laugh burst out before I could ask what I meant to ask.
As my legs gave out and I sank back down, Baek Sun Woo finally pushed himself up on his palms, rising slowly into a sitting position. From there, he rolled up the sleeves of his athletic shirt with a sharp motion, then bent his arm to examine the wounds.
“Wow, it hurts more than I thought.”
Even now, there was a playful lilt in Baek Sun Woo’s voice.
His head gradually lifted as he dusted off his left arm with his right hand, surveying the damage.
“Hey, you―.”
“I’m fine.”
Was it the blood seeping into them
Baek Sun Woo couldn’t fully open his right eye. Yet instead of wincing, he simply pulled his mouth into a smile.
‘Fine, my ass.’
If I’d had a mirror, I would’ve shoved it right in front of his face to lecture him about how he could possibly be smiling in this state.
I found myself at a loss for words, simply staring at Baek Sun Woo. The moment I did, his pain seemed to flow directly into me, and I instinctively winced.
“Ha Ryeong.”
“What.”
“You’re a Dealer, after all—a Dealer…….”
Before Baek Sun Woo could ramble further, my hand moved on its own.
I gently brushed back the bangs that had fallen across his forehead.
‘He hit the ground on his left side, so why is the damage here?’
A long gash ran across the upper part of his right temple.
‘Looks like something cut him.’
Blood was still beading at the wound, though it didn’t seem as deep as I’d feared.
Maybe that’s what sparked the impulse.
I pressed the back of my wrist firmly against the wound.
“Ugh—!”
A short, stifled groan spilled from Baek Sun Woo’s lips.
Only after watching his brows draw together did I feel certain—he really was in pain.
“Easy. It hurts, doesn’t it.”
“Lucky for you.”
At my flat reply, Baek Sun Woo let out a short, hollow laugh.
If anyone had witnessed what I’d just done to him, they would’ve questioned my character. But…….
‘What can I do about it.’
Who could have predicted I’d suddenly throw myself into the fray like that.
Intentional or not, I was never going to simply walk down the road to hell with someone else.
Facing Baek Sun Woo, who wore that smile again as if nothing had happened, only a tangled ache rose in my chest.
In the end, I pushed myself to my feet and forced my voice to stay level.
“Listen, Healer—”
“Ju Ha Ryeong.”
Just then, I sensed someone approaching from behind. Before I could even turn, that familiar presence drew close enough to enter my field of vision.
I lifted my head without moving from my stiff posture.
“…….”
Seo Do Hyuk’s cold eyes took me in, then immediately shifted to Baek Sun Woo.
Then he let out a sigh, openly and deliberately.
Whether it was a sigh of relief or one of exasperation, I couldn’t quite tell.
Without a word, Seo Do Hyuk lowered himself and reached toward Baek Sun Woo.
‘Oh, I figured he’d dodge.’
As if knowing exactly what was coming, Baek Sun Woo closed his eyes and remained still, docile as a gentle dog.
Soon, a soft, warm light flowed from Seo Do Hyuk’s fingertips as they touched Baek Sun Woo’s forehead, slowly mending the bloodstains and scrapes scattered across his body.
‘That’s what makes it strange.’
Why hadn’t he already left for the Association or a Guild.
As essential personnel, Healers benefited greatly from being affiliated with one organization or another. They could receive support for anything they wanted.
‘……What is this?’
This inexplicable sense of relief that suddenly swept over me?
“Wow, I’m getting some real mileage out of this. Thanks.”
Then, with noticeably brighter spirits, Baek Sun Woo’s voice reached me.
He touched his forehead briefly, then made a motion to get up. I was about to naturally take the hand he extended toward me.
But Seo Do Hyuk suddenly gripped Baek Sun Woo’s forearm and hauled him to his feet with something close to force.
‘What the—why is he acting like that?’
I’d never seen him move so roughly before.
As a result, Baek Sun Woo stood facing him with an uncharacteristic look of bewilderment.
Baek Sun Woo let out an amused laugh and lightly stroked one of his eyebrows as he continued.
“I’ve never been treated like this before.”
“…….”
“So you’re not the well-mannered type, then?”
Despite Baek Sun Woo’s jab, Seo Do Hyuk’s expression remained unchanged. He said nothing.
Ding!
[ 《The Guardian of Taewon》 came scrambling from somewhere, urgently pulled out a Sweet-tasting Dessert, and stood with mouth wide open, concentrating intently. ]
……Is he insane?
I rolled my eyes between the two men, trying to read the mood.
Baek Sun Woo, waiting for a reply with a hint of laughter on his face, and Seo Do Hyuk, meeting his gaze with an utterly unreadable, blank expression.
‘This is hilarious, honestly.’
It was a different kind of tension from the one with Cha Yu Hyun. But given the situation we were in, someone needed to step in.
It’s a bit of a shame, though.
[ The Guardian of Taewon urgently insists that the surroundings are being tidied up on their own, so please don’t stop them this time. ]
Now that I think about it, shouldn’t you be worried about me first?
The first thing you say upon arriving is only that―.
[ The Guardian of Taewon pauses for a moment and observes the momentum of the other Awakener. ]
As the Guardian spoke, Seo Do Hyuk’s lips parted.
“If you can’t even stand on your own.”
“…….”
“Then lie back down.”
Wow, that was brutal.
C-rank, yet every S-rank is obsessed with me
