MEMORIZE

She is not weak. But now he was weak in front of me. I also had a lot of things I wanted to say to her. But I thought I'd better listen to her for now. I didn't want to meet and talk like this, and it was a little early, but I thought it was okay to do it quickly if it was something to do anyway.

She gave a slight smile as she nodded as a sign of consent.

"I'd like to ask you a question before that. What do you usually think of me?"

The intention of Jung Ha-yeon's question has yet to be grasped. But I didn't worry too much. Now she was trying to reveal her inner self to me just as I told her some of my true feelings through The Correction of Truth. It suddenly occurred to me when she showed her reaction to the Golden Lion Clan at the ruins lab.

"I think he's a smart and talented wizard."

"And?"

"I always like to be calm and logical about things. It's true that he has his own standards, but he seems to have some flexibility."

"Yes. And?"

"…Your voice is clear."

"Kick. And?"

I closed my mouth and stared at her with a squint. Overall, Jung Ha-yeon's face seemed to be smiling. If you look closely, however, there was a thin line hanging only around the mouth and the eyes were deeply dormant. I didn't open my mouth any more.

"…people all have a side to themselves, and they have a side to themselves that only."

"There are people who match inside and outside."

"No, I didn't believe there was anyone like that. I thought there was no one who was exactly the same, even though there were people who were similar. But my faith was broken for the first time since I met you."

“…….”

I let out a sound of acupuncture. Of course I also agree with her. There was a time when I thought that, too. In a way, I felt a little sad. What the hell happened to him so disappointed in himself, and in others?

"There's nothing suspicious about it. I know too well the effects of , and your true feelings were not a little false. What a person who matches the outward behavior of the world. It's so amazing to have someone like this in the world."

It stung for a moment, but I cleared up quickly. I don't think I'm sorry. At least the fact that my heart for my brother and Han So-young was sincere was enough to withstand all the embarrassment.

Once again, Jeong Ha-yeon, who filled the glass with alcohol, moistened her lips with her tongue and continued.

"I've told you before. If there's anything unclear, I'll make sure to point it out. This is my principle of living on Hallplane. Do you know why you used this cold language as your creed?"

"I don't know."

"I was Clan One of the Golden Lions a year ago.”

Without any preparation or change of words, he immediately brought it up. Yes, this is Jeong Hayeon. I focused more on what she said because I thought I would finally get back to what I saw. She closed her eyes for a moment and seemed to organize her thoughts, but then she opened her eyes and opened her mouth in a polite, clear voice.

"You're not surprised. Good. I think you knew it at the time. Anyway, when the kids told me that you rejected the Golden Lion Clan, they were like...I felt unique."

"It's crazy to be in that futureless Clan."

"A Clan Without a Future…Who can say the current golden lion clan like that? But I agree with you."

She paused for a moment and put on a sentimental look. A face that recalls memories. It didn't take much time for her to follow up again.

"The Golden Lion Clan is a traditional clan. When targeting Barbara, Clan Lord, who was in his eighth year, died, so it's been 12 years this year. Considering that there are no users who have survived Hall Plain for more than 10 years, it's a union that has its own continuous structure. Yeah, I don't know what it was like back then, but...They've changed. When Barbara was targeted and established, and started to gain strength. Of course I wasn't there at the time, but I think I deserve to be judged that way."

“…….”

"I came into Hallplane with my brother two years ago. It was the time when the Golden Lion Clan was popular. I was in my senior year at the time, and I came into Hallplane without knowing what was going on. I was afraid that after falling into a place called rite of passage, I met monsters I'd only seen in movies, threatened with my life, and couldn't go back home. At that time, I was able to meet a user who fell with me at the rite of passage."

Jeong Ha-yeon's words were so sad that I wanted to say anything. But she shook her head in excitement and blocked my words. I sighed at the response and shut my half-open mouth.

"The user was really great. He's handsome, he's tall, he's got a nice body, and he's got a flowing grace. He was a person who matched the imagination of many female college students. Not only that, but he became the leader of those who were separated at the time and led them to escape the hellish rite of passage. And I couldn't help but fall in love with that look. At the time, he was very talented and he was good at everything. Especially, he was really good at archery. He was literally a prince on a white horse."

Then it means we're in the same 2nd year. And he's good at handling the bow. I thought of a few users, but none of them really matched her words. If there are more than one archer user of the Golden Lion Clan and it is a well-known user, frankly, Seon Yu-woon, who is on the "Gang" list, doesn't even remember much.

"That's how I escaped the rite of passage and joined the user academy together. And there he stood out, too. It wasn't easy to be the top of the user academy as an archer. Until then, I kept practicing and believing that I would continue to be with him. Because I didn't want to hold him back. And the long-awaited graduation day. He proudly received an offer from the Golden Lion Clan, envied by all new users. And at the same time, my dream came true."

"What if it's a dream?"

"To keep him company. On graduation day, he approached me with everyone's eyes and held my hand and said, I want to go with you. I want to be with you in the future. He asked the Golden Lion Clan to let him take one more. My grades weren't that bad at the time, but honestly, they weren't enough to get into the clan. Nevertheless, then the scout of the Golden Lion Clan nodded gladly. Yeah, I was just a beginner at the time, so I just followed him, but maybe that was the beginning of everything...Ha."

Jeong Ha-yeon, who stopped talking for a while, let out a short sigh. I quickly poured the drink into the empty cup. And finally, the liquor in the bottle is completely empty. She drank with me at once. With her tongue moistened as if her throat was a little damp, she soon smiled in vain.

"At that time, the users and my brother who came out of the rite of passage were not involved. Other users said they haven't talked much since they joined the user academy. But I could understand. No, I was rather happy. I worked hard and became a user who matched him. You didn't get his choice because you weren't good enough. Of course, my sister took a while, but Jiyeon was considerate of me. I entered the Golden Lion Clan with him as if I were a princess. I loved it when he treated me as a special person, and I was so excited."

I was able to think of charisma, a unique ability for a moment. That's how much she's possessed by a cool-headed user? If you're a charismatic user...No. Maybe she didn't have the rationality she has now. I buried an idea in a corner of my head. Her words were continuing again.

"…That was too long. I'll be done soon. To put it bluntly, life in the Clan was never happy. All the new users, such as looking down on the users who came in with pure skills, were jealous of me. I gave him my body at the time and went in exchange for it.I was even told that she was a whore in the background. Up and down. No one was on my side.”

"Didn't he take sides with you?"

She bit her teeth at my question. I could hear the sound of grinding my teeth so clearly that I asked so hard. After chewing her teeth and lips for a while, she sighed loudly once again. She lowered her head, lowered her gaze, and opened her mouth.

"It was one night. I lied down to sleep on my tired body and mind, but there were no users who used the same accommodation that day. I thought it was weird, but I couldn't afford to pay attention to it. After a while, I could hear the door opening. I thought we were living in the same dorm and closed my eyes. And at that moment, the user who came in came up to my bed and put his heavy body on me."

"No way…."

"I was surprised, and I tried to lift myself up, but the person who came in tore my clothes apart. I rebelled like crazy. I'm not normally the type to suffer like that, but I don't know if I was being careless or if my resistance was successful. At that time, I was learning to improve my skills, and I happened to succeed. The criminal, who was struck by an unexpected blow, went out with a loud noise. Only then did I come to my senses and raise my head, and the criminal who attacked me was bleeding in front of my eyes. He was none other than a scout who came to the former user academy. He got angry as soon as he saw me."

"Are you angry?"

"Yes, I'm the one who'll be angry, but I'm dumbfounded. One of the things he said at the time was this. What are you doing? Didn't you finish talking to him?”

I frowned the moment I heard her last words. The word seemed to give a rough idea of what was going on before and after. She smiled at my reaction. But the smile was too bitter, too lonely.

"Yes, it's probably the right thing to imagine. That day, the golden lion clan flipped over. I haven't done anything wrong in my life. I did what the Clan told me to do, and I did what they told me to do. I wouldn't have been able to blame me because I didn't do anything to be faulted except for those rumors. But that's all. As time goes by, the work gets buried and the people on the top say let's move on quietly. It's full of nuance that tells me to be lucky that I didn't leave. And the day it was decided to be buried. The person who brought me to the Clan with the rite of passage called me."

Now I know what it would be like if it were two years ago. Obviously, the expedition was a big failure, but then it didn't feel too easy to break down. Two years after that, you won't have to see and hear how rotten the interior is.

"But I wanted to be comforted because I thought he was the only one on my side. And the moment I went to him with a sad face, he looked at my face and said a cold word.”

"…what did you say?”

"What a moronce. I thought you were smart, but you were an idiot."

"Yes, stop it. You can stop talking now. I've been fully aware of the circumstances.

This has made it clear. Thinking that this is the right line, I raised my hand to block Jung Ha-yeon's words. But she shook her head violently despite my consideration. Glossy bobbed hair beautifully ripples from side to side. I had no choice but to lower my hand when I saw the firm determination to keep talking.

"We had a really bad fight then, a fight. It's the first time I've had a hard time with him. In the past, he used to hang on to me in a crying voice, but he constantly criticized me in a cold voice. You're the reason I'm out of my scout's sight. Do you know how powerful he is now here. It's stupid to keep chastity in Hall Plain. You have to do anything to live. Why don't you know how I feel...He was persuasive and preaching for a while. He left me crying sitting down. The scout said it again, and all he did was tell you to stop facing reality.”

"Mr. Jung Ha-yeon."

"I'm almost done. Hold it a little bit more. I don't even remember how I got back to my room after that. I spent three nights crying and sobbing. But I still didn't see the reality then. It's not the reality he's talking about, it's the reality. I wanted to trust him in one corner. After a long time of worrying about public security, I decided to admit what he said. There are definitely some female users who live like that, and Holplain has less sense of chastity than modern society. I had my own imagination. It's all for me, you'll be able to accept me again when you get a seat later. I pulled myself together with self-justification, which was such a vain delusion."

"That's stupid."

She readily accepted my accusation.

"Yes, I admit it. Now that I think about it, it was really stupid. I'm not bragging, but I never accepted a man until then. There was a fantasy about the beginning. I want to do it with someone I love, something like that. So I got up from the spot and got myself dolled up and dressed up as pretty as I could. Then I waited for the night to come and sneaked out of the room and went to his room. At least if I gave him the first time, I thought I could take a ray of comfort in the pain of living that way. So I firmly set my mind and went to the door of his accommodation. And I put my hand on the doorknob. But…"

Jeong Ha-yeon's lips trembled as she recalled the memory of that time. His hands were shaking and his eyes were shaking badly. He seemed to be holding back his tears even though he was about to cry. After cleaning her insides with a big deep breath once or twice, she soon began to speak in a choking tone.

"As soon as I stood in front of the door, I heard a feeble sound in the room. Yes, it was none other than a man and a woman groaning. Putting my hand on the doorknob, I was sitting there, holding my trembling hand. And I opened the door a little bit, feeling possessed by something. And inside the room...As expected, he and a female user were coveting each other's bodies. And the moment you open the door."

At that moment, Jung Ha-yeon's eyes, which stopped talking, were under the illusion that a blue flame was burning. I waited for her next words, swallowing unconsciously in a burning rage.

"I lay down and made eye contact with a female user who was receiving the man."

============================ Review of the work ============================

Hello, I'm Ro Yu Jin.

Yes. I'm sure a lot of people were surprised today. :)

I participated in the meeting on February 28th, but people who participated more than 3 times including February 28th don't have to participate in the course for 1 night and 2 days from March 1st to 2nd. It would be nice to participate, but I jumped on the ride a little bit because all the participants who participated more than three times were absent. And I happened to be in a bad condition. Rather than feeling stressed, I thought I should rest at home and write.

Thanks to you, I think I will have some free time today and tomorrow.

If you have time, I'd like you to pat your head as much as you kept your promise to contact me. :)

PS. Please don't hate Hayeon too much. She has her own story. ㅜ.ㅠ
