The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 034

 

“Huh?”

 

“Your arm, this looks like a puncture wound. Was it from that icicle earlier?”

 

“Right, when did you get hit?”

 

Kang Seo-u, who had suddenly approached, also grabbed my chin with his finger and observed it.

 

Following their words, I shifted my gaze and saw just a tiny bit of blood.

 

“Huh?”

 

Wasn’t I supposed to be fine since I’m a Constellation? That was the meaning behind my exclamation, but the two seemed to interpret it as me not knowing I was injured.

 

Kim Igyeol took out a recovery potion I had given him from his inventory and handed it to me, and likewise, Kang Seo-u also offered a recovery potion and items.

 

“I’m perfectly fine though.”

 

I deliberately rotated my arm widely and moved it around. Every time I moved, the two people in front of me flinched.

 

They were reacting so sensitively to such a small wound, like a needle prick, that I felt embarrassed.

 

“Still, just in case, let’s go out and get you examined first. You don’t know when or how you got hurt, right?”

 

It was already decided in Kang Seo-u’s head that I wouldn’t know.

 

More than that, Kim Igyeol watching silently from the side was scarier.

 

Just as Kim Igyeol was about to open his mouth to say something, a rope came down from above.

 

The three of us tilted our heads back to look up and saw someone descending on that rope.

 

A man in a diving suit with an oxygen tank strapped to his back stepped on the snow and exclaimed in admiration.

 

“What, why is there no water here? Wasn’t this supposed to be underwater?”

 

The grumbling man took off his helmet and approached us.

 

“Oh, it’s Seo-u? You cleared it too. Well, at least having you here saved me ten years of my life.”

 

The man who had been looking around spotted Kang Seo-u and patted his shoulder while breathing a sigh of relief.

 

Kang Seo-u smiled awkwardly and asked the man.

 

“Han Team Leader? You’re not from the field response team. What brings you here?”

 

“A dungeon burst and was cleared under the sea, so is there anyone else besides me among the non-awakened who’s good at diving?”

 

“What’s the situation outside?”

 

“It’s chaos. A perfectly fine bridge collapsed in the middle of a weekday afternoon. But only your car fell into the sea.”

 

The man called Han Team Leader muttered that it was fortunate there were fewer people around today and pressed his forehead.

 

He looked around at us who had come into his view and spoke.

 

“Are any of you injured anywhere?”

 

“There is…”

 

“No!”

 

I pinched Kim Igyeol’s side and intercepted his answer.

 

I don’t even have an identity so I can’t go to the hospital anyway, so what would happen if I said yes?

 

With that meaning, I glared at him and gestured for Kim Igyeol to stay quiet. Kim Igyeol reluctantly shut his mouth tight.

 

“What kind of nonsense is this? Serin, you need to go to the hospital for your arm.”

 

Ah, I had momentarily forgotten about that blabbermouth.

 

He wore an expression of not understanding and briefly scolded me.

 

Han Team Leader, shocked by his words, opened his eyes as wide as coins and approached me.

 

“Where are you injured?!”

 

The staff member circled around me, examining my condition.

 

Even though I really thought I wasn’t injured and waved my hands saying not to do this, he didn’t even pretend to listen.

 

I muttered in a voice that was getting smaller.

 

“Uh, I’m not really hurt though…”

 

“There’s blood on your arm! But fortunately, it’s just a very small amount.”

 

The man pointed to where I had been injured by the ice spike earlier. He observed quite carefully in such a short time.

 

The staff member who had been startled and shouting upon discovering the blood calmed down when he saw it was just a pinhole-sized bleeding.

 

“Still, in dungeons you can’t ignore even small wounds, so go to the hospital and bill the Association for the costs.”

 

The staff member added that I should go to Geonwon Hospital together with Seo-u, then began to continue the explanation he had been giving earlier.

 

“The dungeon entrance was created above the seawater. So to get up to the bridge, you have to exit through that entrance.”

 

“Then do we also go up using the rope?”

 

At my question, the man looked puzzled and pointed at Kang Seo-u.

 

“Why would you need to when he’s here?”

 

Kang Seo-u also nodded in agreement from the side. What is it? Why are you making me anxious?

 

Kang Seo-u approached me with a smile that could rival a demon’s.

 

“Wait, I’ll take the rope!”

 

I slowly backed away while stating my opinion, but was caught and lifted up in a princess carry like before.

 

“Going up first!”

 

Tch, this position again. As I stayed still with a sulky expression, the staff member spoke to Kang Seo-u.

 

“Seo-u, when you get there, the Association President will probably be there, so report the situation before you go!”

 

“Yes, I know without you telling me.”

 

Ah, wait. The Association President means Jin Sehyeok.

 

He’s here right now…?!

 

What about my mental preparation? I just blinked rapidly in confusion.

 

I wanted to go up as slowly as possible, so I tried to stop Kang Seo-u, but before I could speak, he stopped on his own. Then he pointed at Kim Igyeol and said.

 

“Ah, Team Leader. That guy is an awakened, so he’ll be fine.”

 

After adding an explanation about Kim Igyeol, he leaped up powerfully while holding me.

 

I buried my face in my hands and prayed. Please let there be no people. Please, please!

 

The place we arrived at after my desperate prayers was unfortunately full of people, but this time he put me down as soon as we arrived, so I avoided greater embarrassment.

 

I could hear bustling commotion from far away.

 

“Association President, the field situation report first-!”

 

My gaze naturally went to that familiar voice.

 

Before I could see the owner of the footsteps walking steadily, I first saw frost fragments scattering.

 

Watching the cold air that had instantly crystallized crackling in the air, I quickly turned and lowered my head.

 

He really came. Wasn’t Jin Sehyeok the type who didn’t look at cleared sites?

 

“Kang Seo-u.”

 

A heavily sunken voice called out Kang Seo-u’s name.

 

An unforgettable voice even after a long time, the protagonist and original story destroyer.

 

It was Jin Sehyeok.

 

I thought I wouldn’t see him, but what do I do when he appears like this?

 

It’s fortunate that I have my back turned. I hurriedly hid behind Kim Igyeol, who had followed us up from the dungeon.

 

Even if I’m curious about the situation, I shouldn’t stick my head out and give him a chance to notice me.

 

With just my ears perked up, I grabbed Kim Igyeol’s clothes and slowly moved sideways. Fortunately, he silently followed where I led.

 

Meanwhile, Jin Sehyeok, who had gone straight to Kang Seo-u, asked in a low voice.

 

“Hyung!”

 

“Is your arm okay?”

 

“My arm?”

 

As Jin Sehyeok stood in front of Kang Seo-u, showing only the back of his head, I stood on tiptoes behind Kim Igyeol and peeked out with just my eyes.

 

Kang Seo-u tilted his head at the unexpected question.

 

When he appealed that he was fine, Jin Sehyeok finally showed signs of relief.

 

Kang Seo-u let out an exclamation as if he understood.

 

“Ah, you already received a report? But I’m not the one who hurt my arm.”

 

Stop. Stop it, Kang Seo-u!

 

I swallowed dry saliva from the tension. I really wish I could communicate telepathically with Kang Seo-u.

 

Kang Seo-u thoroughly trampled on my desperation.

 

“They’re over there. The injured person.”

 

Seeing his finger about to point in my direction, I came down from my tiptoes.

 

It’s fortunate that Kim Igyeol is tall. Even if my head shows, only my blonde hair will be visible.

 

“That person got hurt.”

 

Moving behind Jin Sehyeok was pointless. My scalp prickled as I wondered if he was looking at us.

 

Without realizing it, I tightened my grip and clutched Kim Igyeol’s clothes even harder.

 

Thud, thud, the sound of Jin Sehyeok’s footsteps approached. The closer he got, the harder my heart pounded.

 

“Your arm, is it okay? Do you feel no sensation, or does it feel like your arm might fall off?”

 

Drawing closer, he questioned Kim Igyeol in a relatively more blunt tone than before. I hung my head low.

 

“I’m fine too.”

 

Along with Kim Igyeol’s denial, I lost my grip on the clothes I was holding. It was because Kim Igyeol moved to the side without knowing how I felt.

 

Without realizing it, I smoothly hid my arm behind my back as the pain began to return more than before.

 

The pendant of the bracelet I always wore, which I hadn’t really noticed, brushed against my palm.

 

At the small jingling sound, Jin Sehyeok drew in a sharp breath.

 

“…Your arm.”

 

A hand full of scars entered my field of vision that had only shown asphalt.

 

Seeing that hand which showed all the hardships he’d endured, a wave of sadness suddenly washed over me.

 

Still, showing him my arm was a different matter. Without lifting my head, I shook it left and right to show my refusal. At this point, just go away, oppa.

 

Jin Sehyeok didn’t urge me with words, but urged me by not withdrawing his hand.

 

Kim Igyeol interjected between us in this sibling standoff that others didn’t know about, and even he himself didn’t know about, but only I knew.

 

“What’s the matter with you?”

 

Kim Igyeol asked bluntly and grabbed my hand, making me grip his clothes like before.

 

“I have no business with you. Get lost.”

 

“That doesn’t seem possible. Right now I’m this kid’s guardian.”

 

Kim Igyeol retorted irritably.
