The Nature of Possession

93 – EP.5 Babel is Cinderella-3

***

Living in this dimension without major bends, there are things I missed for a while.

An ordeal arranged by the goddess. In other words, there are people in this world who are obsessed with me.

Of course, I was careful as soon as I got here.

I thought there must be such an obsession that came from the relationship the original owner built up.

However, no one was obsessed with me.

There was one candidate, but her obsession was not about me, but about money.

So I was relieved. This world has no interest in me.

So, as long as I take good care of my body, I drew a blueprint for a future full of hope that I will live here long and prosperously.

But, I thought I would dig a grave with my own hands.

The power of her hand gripping the sleeves of her clothes was strong.

Holding her arm, I couldn’t get out of a certain radius like a country dog on a leash.

“Mr. Garam, please let go.”

A jerk with her arm out would hurt her, so I raised my hand.

My hand raised over her clenched fist. And her hand shaking beneath it.

She looked back and forth between my sleeve and my face.

She was biting her lip with her front teeth, and thought, what if it bleeds?

“Mr. Garam.”

call her name one more time

let go of this hand If I had done it myself, I would have already said this.

However, as someone who is responsible for this incident, I cannot speak harshly to her.

It was a problem caused by my involvement, and it was an incident caused by my relationship with her.

When her name was called, she shook her head.

“I hate it…if you let go, it will go…”

With tears welling up in her eyes again, she squeezed out her voice.

“No, I’ll listen carefully… Don’t leave me alone and go anywhere. Me, please.”

“Mr. Garam, I’m not going anywhere. First of all, I have to leave the hospital. I’ll call the doctor. You can’t stay here all the time.”

Kneel down and level your eyes.

“…….”

“It’s very brief. It takes less than five minutes.”

“……”

suspicious eyes. I never imagined that I would receive such attention from her.

Where did that lively, warm, cheerful girl go?

Was the shadow as deep as the light was bright?

Could it be that they had no choice but to shine brightly to hide the dark shadows?

Well, I want to know what is important about the precedent.

Fixing what happened is more important.

Mr. Garam, who had been thinking about it for a long time, let go of his hand with an expression that he was unwilling.

I finally turned my free arm around and loosened my sore shoulders.

My whole body was sore from the tension as I drove the car so fast.

“Wait a minute.”

“I’ll count five minutes.”

Normally, it would have been cute, but today it sounds scary.

The doctor briefly checked her condition before we were able to leave the emergency room.

When I calculated the usual tests and the value of the fluid, it came out to be about 150,000 won. I paid for this

On my way to the parking lot, Hocheol, who was sitting in a very small shelter built next to the hospital entrance, saw me and woke up.

He must have been smoking a cigarette, butts were in his hand.

“Brother, are you done…?”

Hocheol scratched his head in a strange way when he saw Mr. Garam following me by the hem of my clothes.

It’s complicated for me to explain too. just pretend not to know

“Didn’t you go?”

I thought he went home after his shift, but he seems to have something to say.

“Ah yes… what…”

Hearing his words, Hocheol looked at Mr. Garam.

“Is it important?”

Hocheol nodded slightly at my words.

It seems to be a sensitive topic to talk about in front of Mr. Garam.

“Hey, Mr. Garam. Would you like to sit on the bench over there for a minute? I have business talk with this guy.”

“Again? Are you falling again?”

“But I won’t get out of sight. The distance over there is only about 5m.”

“…….”

Are you anxious, dissatisfied, or both? It is difficult to read the facial expression because of the mixed emotions.

Still, I don’t hold on as stubbornly as I did in the emergency room earlier, and go to the bench.

I wondered what would happen if I pulled my arm here as well, but at least it’s fortunate.

Hocheol and I turned our backs on her.

“I’ll light a fire over there. Brother… Oh, he’s cut it off.”

Perhaps thinking of smoking another cigarette, Hocheol put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it.

The cigarette light burned red in the dark, and Hocheol sucked it to his heart’s content.

“Whoa…”

He turns his head slightly and exhales smoke.

“What are you talking about? Without going home.”

“Brother. Mr. Garam…”

Hocheol lowers his voice.

“Why Mr. Garam?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to stay away from it? It sounds like you’re out of your mind.”

“…….”

“I don’t know what kind of wind is blowing these days, but… I think it’s better to go somewhere else if it’s for sports.”

“Isn’t it interfering with your daily life?”

“You’re stressed out. Last time I collapsed because of one or two stress because of her.”

“Well, it’s good that you don’t seem to be chasing her these days.”

He flicks the cigarette with his finger and blows out the ashes.

I didn’t have anything to say, so I kept silent and Hocheol continued to speak.

“I’m not saying anything like that. I’m just worried about my brother’s health.”

“Hey, are you worried?”

“Of course. You changed the life of an unemployed man. You have to worry.”

At those words full of loyalty, I smiled without even realizing it.

I patted him on the shoulder.

“Okay. Okay. I won’t overdo it. Today’s work is actually my responsibility. I don’t think I can just let Mr. Garam go.”

“Is it your brother’s responsibility?”

Hocheol widened his eyes.

“uh.”

I glanced back. Mr. Garam, who is sitting on a bench, is glaring at me while biting his nails.

“But because he touched Mr. Garam.”

“That b*tch? No, why Garam, who has nothing to do with anything?”

“That’s right. If you want to kill me, you have to kill me. If you dare to touch Mr. Garam, who is still, tsk.”

“I’m saying this in passing. One of them is that he’s a b*tch. I told you. Hang out with other girls, but don’t hang out with him. I’m like that-“

“Okay, okay. I didn’t do well.”

Before, I had loyal subjects around me, so why did I live like this?

“Anyway, it’s late today. Let’s finish here. Go inside.”

“Yes. Hyung-nim, go in and rest.

After finishing smoking, Hocheol threw the butt into the trash.

The blown butt hit the rim and went inside.

“Well, you’re out of luck.”

Saying that, I turned to Mr. Garam.

“Ah, brother.”

Hocheol calls me to stop me on my way to Mr. Garam.

“why?”

“Are you going to just leave him alone?”

A story about one.

“No, I have to pay it back as it is. Why do you ask for the obvious?”

I replied, wiping the screen of my phone with my thumb.

“I have to pay back as much as I’ve suffered to be full”
