Chapter 369: Episode 103: Difference in Perspective (1)

It happened some time ago.

Unit 301.

A golden pair of eyes was looking at Bom who was sitting on the couch in her outstretched t-s.h.i.+rt that constantly slid down.

She was crouching down reading a book but Kaeul was persistently staring her way, so she slightly s.h.i.+fted her head to meet the gaze. Usually, Kaeul would have smiled hehe and said h.e.l.lo but she was quite different that day.

Whats wrong?

Seemingly with a question in mind, Kaeul sneaked up and sat next to her on the sofa. The same gentle fragrance of gra.s.s seeped into her nose as if she was in a forest.

When Kaeul sat next to her, Bom lowered the book and looked back at her. After a few seconds of odd silence, Kaeul raised a question.

Unni.

Nn nn.

Do you like ahjussi?

Nn. I do.

Then, do you love ahjussi?

Hearing that, Bom widened her eyes a little with a slightly open mouth. However, her expression returned to the normal indifferent one in just a few seconds.

Nn.

Kaeul tilted her head with her eyes stuck on Bom.

How do you love him?

Hnn?

We, uhh, cant fall in love and stuff right?

Bom replied with an awkward smile.

Who knows? I also wonder how.

Finding that response questionable, Kaeul asked back.

You dont know either, unni? How you fell in love?

Nn. I dont know.

Ehng?

Bom raised her hand and rested it on her chest.

I think this must be broken.

Kaeul blinked her eyes before asking yet again.

Then, in that case, is there like a reason you fell in love? Ah! Im just asking because Im curious!

Hmm Nipping on the bookmark, Bom contemplated deeply before shaking her head.

I dont know.

Eyy. How can you not know that?

No, really. I dont know. Actually, I thought about it a lot myself but I really have no clue. Seriously

How did this happen. Bom murmured something similar to what she had previously said.

With that, Kaeul resolved two out of the three questions she had, even though the replies Bom gave didnt fully quench her curiosity.

And also, last question.

Nn.

A few days ago, me and ahjussi

Kaeul talked about the things that happened while sending the baby chicken, Chirpy, back to his world, including how she cried in his arms on the way back.

Although there was no need to bother telling her all this, Kaeul wanted to share them.

She was quite nervous during her speech. She had no confidence to look into Boms eyes and her lowered gaze was facing Boms stretched out t-s.h.i.+rt by the time she came to herself.

And thats what happened.

After finis.h.i.+ng her explanation, Kaeul carefully raised her head back up and found Bom gazing down at her with an expression she could not read.

That in turn made her more nervous.

A, are you perhaps angry?

Do you like ahjussi? Bom asked instead of replying to her question.

Uun? Un Ah, ah! But! Not, not in the way youre thinking! Because hes a good person, and precious? Thats why I like him. Not like, the things you see in a shoujo manga!

Nn.

Just but, still, I thought unni wouldnt like that so I just, unn

Nn.

Are you okay?

Nn. Im fine.

Uinng?

Bom sounded so nonchalant that it instead made Kaeul fl.u.s.tered.

Youre okay?

Nn. Im totally okay.

Why? Unni, you are, umm, very sensitive with your belongings right?

Ahjussi isnt an object though, is he.

But, the umumu uhh, you know Dont you feel jea lous or something like that?

After finally realising the point Kaeul was trying to make by beating around the bush, Bom replied with a giggle.

Im not jealous at all. Well, I guess it might feel weird to see that happen in front of my eyes though.

But still, its okay.

Ehng? Even if someone other than me, like Yeorum-unni or Gyeoul, does something similar with ahjussi?

Nn. As long as you dont cross the line.

Really? Thats a bit unexpected. I actually thought unni would be super upset

No, of course not.

Bom caressed her hair. Her eyes were gazing outside the window into the distance.

Its been around 5 years since we lived together right? Ive always felt sorry, and thankful to you guys.

Unn?

Sorry because you getting involved with the dimensional disjoint might be because of how unlucky I am, and grateful because youve never blamed it on me and

Uun

I think Im quite attached to you guys after spending such a long time together. Sometimes I even wonder how I can live without you after going back. It feels great to live together When Gyeoul gets a bit bigger, I want to go to a hot spring together, go gambling with Yeorum, and buy delicious food together with you. How would I ever feel jealous?

With a pause, she thought, looking at the ceiling and the ground before turning towards Kaeul. Soon, Bom concluded her words along with a faint smile.

You guys are so precious to me

It seemed that the white bird had been continuing the a.n.a.lysis all by itself after ending the communication with him. The number of messages that floated up were therefore extremely abundant.

Going up the log, he viewed a message that had come up a lot earlier. He quickly looked at the information on the Third Night.

Images formed by voices and letters were engraved in Yu Jitaes brain.

Before long,

He was met with the shocking truth.

Blood raced into his mind.

He did think about the possibility before.

But after locking her and experimenting with her, he had dug into all parts of Myus body and the Hostility did not manifest in any way even till the death of Myus personality.

By nature, [Hostility] tended to manifest itself even at a low level of stress. It was like a reflex system and was a common attribute that accompanied [Mental Contamination].

That was why the logical conclusion he had drawn through multiple experiments was that Myu couldnt be a host of Hostility.

It was impossible for even a black dragon to persevere through a [Mental Contamination] to deceive both the personality and Yu Jitae. It was simply impossible.

However, that was when something suddenly appeared in Yu Jitaes mind.

The extraordinary thing he had found inside Myus Conceptual World

Dont tell me.
