| Chapter 47

 

“Well. There’s definitely one thing I learned.”

 

“So what is it? Don’t beat around the bush and tell me. This better not be something trivial.”

 

At Yoo Eun-hyun’s urging, Ju Yu-ryeon nodded and continued speaking.

 

“That is… Nothing is as stimulating as something new! Going to the same places every day, meeting the same obvious people, but then meeting new people in new places was completely different, you know?”

 

Yoo Eun-hyun’s expression soured as Ju Yu-ryeon spoke as if she had made some groundbreaking discovery. Regardless of his reaction, Ju Yu-ryeon still had her face full of excitement as if her heart was still racing.

 

“I’m an idiot for expecting anything. Good job. I can handle it, but isn’t this a bit embarrassing in front of my mother?”

 

“Oh, what’s the big deal? Auntie doesn’t nag anyway.”

 

“Aren’t you worried about this reaching U-hui auntie’s ears later?”

 

“I’m going to get nagged anyway, so I might as well do it to my heart’s content. Whether it’s once, ten times, or a hundred times, it’s all the same. The nagging won’t increase a hundredfold. At most two or three times? If that’s the case, doing it a hundred times is more profitable, right?”

 

Yoo Eun-hyun snorted at Ju Yu-ryeon’s strangely logical words. Ju Yu-ryeon raised her finger again and continued her sophistry.

 

“And forgiveness is easier than permission. Don’t you know? Just do it first and see what happens.”

 

“In my case, I often end up having to stop things unavoidably… Anyway, just help with the work!”

 

Yoo Eun-hyun shouted as if time was precious, but Ju Yu-ryeon clicked her tongue as if there was still more to come.

 

“Tsk tsk. Of course this isn’t all. It was also for information gathering, you know? Did you think I was just playing around?”

 

“If you’re joking again this time, I really won’t let it slide.”

 

“Listen. I asked the people I met yesterday while playing if they knew about this place. Not everyone, but there were still a few people who knew. About that warehouse, they said.”

 

“Tch. What warehouse… calling someone else’s house a warehouse…”

 

Yoo Eun-hyun grumbled. Ju Yu-ryeon spoke quietly toward such Yoo Eun-hyun.

 

“But there were some puzzling details. They clearly said this was an ordinary warehouse, but detailed information about this place is being reported to the upper levels of the trading company.”

 

“Hmm? Don’t reports usually go in anyway?”

 

“They do go in. But they don’t make these kinds of trivial situation reports every single day, right?”

 

At Ju Yu-ryeon’s words, Yoo Eun-hyun also widened his eyes slightly. Indeed, there was no reason to report daily on the situation of a warehouse that only had miscellaneous items and where no one was permanently stationed.

 

“But if people don’t come every day, what kind of reports are they making?”

 

“I don’t know the details either. It might just be a rumor.”

 

“…I should ask mother about it too.”

 

In the end, the two of them alone couldn’t reach a conclusion. Yoo Eun-hyun casually tossed out the comment and got up from his seat again, and Ju Yu-ryeon also knew it was time to move her body rather than continue joking around, so she followed behind Yoo Eun-hyun.

 

*

 

The two of them spent about two hours organizing the field, and Yoo Eun-hyun, who had been looking up at the sky for a moment, straightened his body.

 

“Let’s call it a day.”

 

“Already? There’s still some time before sunset, isn’t there?”

 

Ju Yu-ryeon asked back with a surprised expression at the unexpected suggestion, but Yoo Eun-hyun had his reasons.

 

“Mother said she’d be back from the village around this time. It’s not good to leave the house empty for too long.”

 

In fact, normally leaving the house empty would have been routine, but Yoo Eun-hyun had recently been taking measures to ensure that at least one of the three always remained at home. It was obvious that those who had been using the house as a warehouse would definitely return someday.

 

“Really? What business does she have?”

 

“It’s obvious. She probably went to gather information again.”

 

Soo Hwa-seon had been visiting the village much more frequently for information gathering.

 

She had more experience than the two of them, and since she was treated as a villager who was an outsider in Dolyeon-hyeon, it was easier for her to move around.

 

“She’s already gone out? Did we miss each other on the road?”

 

It seemed they had missed Soo Hwa-seon who had gone down to the village, as there was already no one at home, but the dumplings she had left for them to eat as snacks were still warm, suggesting she hadn’t been gone long.

 

“As expected of auntie. How did she know we’d be tired from working hard yesterday?”

 

Ju Yu-ryeon’s face brightened at the sight of food and reached for the dumplings, but unfortunately her hand couldn’t reach all the way. And at the same time Ju Yu-ryeon’s hand hesitated, Yoo Eun-hyun turned his body toward the door.

 

“Tch. Why does it have to be now?”

 

Ju Yu-ryeon also lightly clicked her tongue and turned her body toward the door. Before long, the sound of people murmuring outside the door began to be heard.

 

—Huh? What? There’s no lock?

 

—The stuff outside looks like the warehouse contents, doesn’t it? What’s this? Was there talk of other people using it?

 

—That can’t be. I haven’t heard anything. Geon Taek. Open it.

 

The murmuring didn’t last long. Soon the door opened.

 

Creak.

 

Outside the door stood two middle-aged men. They seemed to be the two people who had been having the conversation just moments before. And behind them were two other middle-aged men pulling a cart loaded with broken pickaxes and shovels.

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

Through the opened door, Yoo Eun-hyun and the strangers watched each other silently for a moment.

 

Of course, Yoo Eun-hyun had somewhat anticipated this so he wasn’t surprised, and only the strangers seemed unable to properly accept the current situation.

 

Naturally, there was no intention of exchanging pleasantries. Yoo Eun-hyun glared intimidatingly at the people outside the door as if he wouldn’t back down, and the stranger at the front flinched at that momentum but immediately opened his mouth.

 

“Who are you? Why are you in someone else’s warehouse? How did you open the lock?”

 

Perhaps because Yoo Eun-hyun looked young, and because Ju Yu-ryeon next to him was a woman, the stranger shouted at Yoo Eun-hyun in a high-handed manner as if he wouldn’t back down. Since Yoo Eun-hyun hadn’t even glared with internal energy, and they had much greater numbers, it seemed he had gained courage.

 

“Someone else’s warehouse, you say. This place?”

 

Naturally, Yoo Eun-hyun’s attitude also had to turn sarcastic. Yoo Eun-hyun’s still somewhat youthful voice seemed to give the strangers even more courage.

 

“Oh my? They’ve completely set up house inside in the meantime? Yong Pyeong, team leader. These two look like a married couple, don’t they?”

 

“Are they criminals who fled to the mountains after committing some crime? Tch. This is troublesome. Listen. We are workers from Heukryeon Trading Company. This warehouse is owned by Heukryeon Trading Company, so get out immediately.”

 

The stranger called Yong Pyeong waved his hands dismissively at Yoo Eun-hyun and Ju Yu-ryeon as if shooing away annoying flies. Geon Taek, who was watching this, complained.

 

“Huh? You’re just going to let them go?”

 

“What if we don’t? Don’t cause unnecessary trouble.”

 

Yong Pyeong frowned and warned Geon Taek, who was staring intently at Ju Yu-ryeon while speaking, but Geon Taek immediately shook both hands as if to say that wasn’t it.

 

“It’s not that. Since those people have made the warehouse like this, shouldn’t we make them restore it to its original state? If we have to do all this ourselves, it’ll take all night.”

 

“Hmm… That’s certainly true. Hey. You people take your belongings and get out.”

 

Yong Pyeong warned Yoo Eun-hyun, who was standing silently, still seeming annoyed and urgent, then turned his body. Though he had been somewhat flustered by Yoo Eun-hyun’s attitude at first, work seemed more important than that.

 

“These people don’t listen to others at all, do they?”

 

“That’s why they’re using someone else’s house as a warehouse.”

 

Ju Yu-ryeon whispered to Yoo Eun-hyun as if she found it absurd. Yoo Eun-hyun was also just watching the two strangers’ behavior as if he found it ridiculous.

 

Of course, he had no intention of listening to such nonsense. Yoo Eun-hyun lightly clapped his palms together once as if to draw attention and spoke.

 

“Stop the nonsense and you people get out. Take everything you’ve brought outside with you too.”

 

“What did you say?”

 

At Yoo Eun-hyun’s words, Yong Pyeong’s head turned and he made a menacing expression. Naturally, Yoo Eun-hyun spoke again without blinking an eye.

 

“I said take that trash outside and get out.”

 

“Ha… Look at this young punk’s way of talking?”

 

Geon Taek muttered as if he couldn’t believe Yoo Eun-hyun’s words. He looked ready to step forward immediately, but Yong Pyeong blocked Geon Taek once again.

 

“Even though the world has gone to hell these days, I didn’t know there would be such shameless people. I’m said to be quite patient, but it’s not infinite.”

 

“That’s why I’ve been telling you to get out, but why should we leave?”

 

“Do you know how long we’ve been using this as a warehouse? Over a year. If you have eyes, you must have seen the luggage that was here when you came in?”

 

Yong Pyeong muttered as if he found it ridiculous, but naturally, the one who was truly flabbergasted was Yoo Eun-hyun.

 

“Do you even know how long we’ve been living here? At least over 40 years. Even without eyes, shouldn’t you be able to tell this was a house where people lived?”

 

“That’s right. That’s right.”

 

At Yoo Eun-hyun’s words, Ju Yu-ryeon stretched out both hands as if cheering and shouted. Yong Pyeong, who heard Yoo Eun-hyun’s words, hesitated for a moment but soon opened his mouth again.

 

“Don’t lie. This place was originally an empty house. It was a place where no one had lived for at least a year.”

 

“Hey. Does the owner disappear just because you leave the house empty? If someone else picks up your belongings after you leave them unattended for a year, does the ownership change? Then if you leave money at a shop for a year, does the shop become the owner of the money? Isn’t the person who originally had it naturally the owner?”

 

At Yoo Eun-hyun’s words, Yong Pyeong seemed to have nothing to say and closed his mouth. Naturally, even if the owner had left something unattended for not just a year but decades, the ownership doesn’t change just because someone else takes it. If such a case existed, it would just be robbery.

 

“Where did this talk of 40 years ago even come from? You two look like you’re at most around 20 years old?”

 

When Yong Pyeong paused his words for a moment, Geon Taek stepped forward roughly and retorted. Yoo Eun-hyun still shrugged his shoulders and answered as if asking what the problem was.

 

“That’s naturally because we’ve lived here for generations since our grandfather’s time. You saw the fields around here, right? You didn’t think those formed naturally, did you?”

 

“Of course people made them. But there’s no proof you did it, is there? Do you think you can get away with just entering an empty house and insisting it was originally your house?”

 

When Geon Taek spoke confidently, Yoo Eun-hyun showed a slightly flustered expression. Of course, it wasn’t because he had nothing to say, but because he hadn’t expected Geon Taek to say something so stupid.

 

“Then there’s no proof this was your warehouse either. You originally occupied an empty house without permission and used it as a warehouse, right? We also came and found no one here, so we decided to live here as we pleased?”

 

“Are these people idiots?”

 

When Yoo Eun-hyun said that, Ju Yu-ryeon also whispered as if she found it somewhat absurd, and Yong Pyeong grabbed his forehead, but Geon Taek urgently spoke again.

 

“The lock! There was a lock on it! We at least leave evidence!”

 

“A lock? Was there such a thing?”

 

At Geon Taek’s urgent cry, Yoo Eun-hyun tilted his head as if he didn’t understand and looked at Ju Yu-ryeon, who shook her head.

 

“There was no such thing?”

 

“There wasn’t any? How about you bring some evidence that you’re so fond of?”

 

When Yoo Eun-hyun said this with a grinning smile as if teasing Geon Taek, Geon Taek seemed to have nothing left to say and trembled with rage.

 

“These insolent little brats!”

 

Unlike Yong Pyeong who enjoyed persuading with words, Geon Taek was someone who couldn’t control his emotions.

 

Whether it was only his voice that was expert-level, he shouted loud enough to shake the house and grabbed a shovel with a broken front end that had been sharpened to a point, then charged toward Yoo Eun-hyun.

 

Yoo Eun-hyun could only watch as that sharp iron blade flew toward him while still unable to move his body properly.

 

Whoosh!

 

In an instant, only air as thin as ice separated the two men.
