Episode 139 Seongyoongyo (3)
After hearing that, I thought for a moment.
So, did Yeonju often not answer Shinwoo’s calls?
Judging from the fact that Yeonjoo called me because he couldn’t contact me, I concluded that wasn’t the case.
For Shinwoo, Yeonju not answering the phone would be an act of anxiety.
“that… . Yeonjoo Aren’t you angry yet? Are you ignoring it on purpose? .”
[No matter how angry Seong Yeon-ju was, she always received calls. We decided to contact each other unless it was absolutely unavoidable.]
“Umm… . for a moment.”
I called Haeyeon without taking my ear off my phone. Haeyeon just slightly raises her eyes and looks at me.
“You also opened the cell phone Yeonjoo uses… “Did you do it?”
I’m not sure if the word “opening” is correct, but Haeyeon understood it fairly well. I asked Haeyeon again, who nodded.
“Then can you tell me where Yeonju is right now?”
Haeyeon’s face subtly frowned. After putting down the pen he was holding, Haeyeon took a long sigh and began to explain.
… The explanation was much longer and more detailed than I expected.
“No matter how much I let people use their cell phones, that doesn’t mean they can catch everyone like a location tracker. What is the reason for putting magic stones in there? “It means that we should connect with each other even if I don’t connect them individually.”
It’s like the reaction you would get if you asked someone who graduated from a psychology department to take a psychological test.
I quietly waited for Haeyeon to finish speaking and then opened my mouth.
“… So you’re saying no?”
“If you go into the black room, you can try contacting Yeonju. With a message that pops up like a system. “I can only find it if he replies.”
That means you can’t pinpoint exactly where it is.
“But why? Just put it as a message on your phone. “What’s going on with Yeonju?”
Ignoring Haeyeon’s question, I spoke to Shinwoo again.
“Did you hear? Cheon Hae-yeon says she doesn’t know much.”
[…] … .]
“If you’re really worried, I’ll contact Eunbyeol as well.”
[okay.]
Shin-woo hung up the phone after telling Eun-byeol to contact her and let her know. I looked through the contacts saved on my phone again. I quickly found Eunbyeol’s name.
After a few rings, Eunbyul answered the phone.
“Oh, Eunbyeol. “Did you get back well?”
[Yes, I just entered the dormitory. Did you get to your accommodation safely? As expected, I was worried that it was right for me to take him there.]
“Eunbyeol. “If you’re in the dormitory, are you still with Yeonju?”
[Play? Did you come out with me when I went to meet you? He said he would stay at home for a day or two.]
“… okay?”
I adjusted my voice so that no other emotions came out. She remained calm and asked him to let me know if she ever received a separate call from Yeon-joo, and then hung up.
Even after the call hung up, I stood there blankly holding my phone for a while. It was only when I heard Haeyeon, who was quietly watching what I was doing, call out, ‘Kwon Yun-seong?’ that I came to my senses and took a deep breath.
“… Cheon Hae-yeon.”
“’What’s going on? Please explain. “What about the performance?”
“Have you seen the performance today?”
“no.”
“… “Yeonju says he’s not answering calls.”
Cheon Hae-yeon looked at me silently.
“Eunbyeol told me to go home and stay with Shinwoo for a while, so I left the dormitory. She said she left when she met me, so it must have been some time. She hasn’t returned to Shinwoo’s house yet, and if she can’t contact her, she can’t even perform. .”
“hey.”
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of my fingers snapping. My narrowed field of vision widened and I saw Haeyeon waving her hand in front of me.
“What are you worried about? “It’s no one else, it’s Yeonjun.”
Haeyeon then collected the materials that had been laid out on the desk with a calm expression. Hae-yeon hits the desk lightly and adjusts the corner.
“To be honest, Yeonjoo probably has better stamina than you right now?”
“that… Maybe… .”
“You might want to stop by before you go home. “You got into a fight and ran away from home, but maybe you don’t want to answer the phone yet.”
“… Right.”
“How are you going to control the behavior of high school girls? “I will contact Seong Shin-woo separately, so you can go in and get some rest.”
The voice calmly settles down and pierces only the core this time. Haeyeon stopped from tidying up her desk and looked up at me.
“why.”
Her layered brown hair ends at her shoulders, as if she had recently cut her hair again. She stared at his brown eyes, which felt a little exotic compared to others. Haeyeon silently returned my gaze without moving.
“… okay.”
I slowly turned and headed towards the door.
“If you get in touch with Yeonju, please let me know.”
Haeyeon waved her hand to show that she understood and started organizing her desk again. Haeyeon also seemed to be preparing to leave.
After taking one last look at that scene, I returned to my lodgings.
***
As soon as I returned to the dorm, I couldn’t overcome the strength of Goodgeon, who greeted me with his whole body, so I fell back. Thanks to his amazing timing, Goodgun put a protective shield on me, so his tailbone didn’t break.
Gudgeon, who was more surprised than me, continued circling around me after that, staying about 5 centimeters away from me.
The rest of the day passed quickly.
There was no communication coming to the cell phone.
Second day.
My fever rose without me even realizing it. When I couldn’t get out of bed, Himchan somehow opened the window and went outside. Then she came back with Lee Kyung. Lee Kyung appeared with a refreshing smile and a not-so-sweet nagging, and this time he handed me a potion and left.
I fell asleep for a moment and when I opened my eyes, I saw porridge that someone had made on the nightstand next to the bed. It seemed like Jinseul had come and gone.
How can everyone freely come in and out of the dorm?
When I slowly raised my upper body, Goodgeon whined and clung to me.
“… “Geugeon, are you going to open the door?”
They say I’m the only one who stands up on my own two feet.
I ate the slightly cooled porridge, thinking that there might be a chance. Then she took the potion that Lee Kyung had brought her and checked her cell phone before going to sleep.
… There was still no new contact.
Third day.
I got up from my seat.
After taking a deep breath, I woke up feeling better and felt jealous.
“I’ll contact Seong Shin-woo separately, so you can go in and rest.”
I pursed my lips and comically imitated Haeyeon’s last words to me.
“Communication? “Yeonraak?”
I threw my cell phone, which didn’t even have a single text message, let alone a call, on the blanket.
“It’s a mess to get in touch.”
This came to me. I have a feeling that even if something happened, it would have happened firmly.
It was clear that if I stayed here like this, I wouldn’t hear any news and would just have to sit back and watch.
I went into the bathroom, thoroughly washed off the sweat from last night, and got ready to go out.
The destination was Cheon Hae-yeon’s laboratory.
***
“Cheon Haeyeon!”
bang-
I proudly opened the door to the lab and burst in, but the person who welcomed me inside the room was not Haeyeon.
“… Sung Shin-woo? “What are you doing here?”
“… … .”
Shinwoo quietly looked down at Haeyeon’s desk and slowly turned his head to look at me. The moment our eyes met, my face was distorted in shock.
“Hey you.”
Shinwoo’s eyes were bright red and bloodshot.
When I first saw the back, it looked fine, so I didn’t notice it right away.
“When was the last time you slept?”
I slowly approached Shinwoo and checked his condition. Looking closer, he looked even more insane.
There was no need to hear an explanation as to how the situation was going.
The performance disappeared.
Those two red, bloodshot eyes were telling me that.
“Get some sleep. “And then what if I don’t perform well at the crucial moment?”
Shinwoo kept his mouth shut and looked at me silently. After that, I could see the documents that Shinwoo had been looking at just before I came in. Shinwoo noticed my gaze and quietly put the paper aside, but I had already read the important words.
“… “I guess it’s Seong Yun-gyo.”
It was about a pseudo-group with a strange and shameful name. A document that Haeyeon probably found and organized.
I didn’t see the exact details, but seeing as they were organized separately, it must be related.
“It’s none of your business.”
“It’s really fucking bad. “You go and sleep.”
Even though I said that, I knew I wasn’t going to sleep.
“Aren’t you going to sleep? Then please explain. What exactly is the situation now? I shouldn’t know anything either. “What difference does it make if I stay in the dorm like this?”
If it had been in the past, it would have been meaningless, but right now, Shinwoo’s eyes were shaking mercilessly in front of me. He definitely looked tired.
I gently pushed Shinwoo’s shoulder back and made him sit on the sofa in Haeyeon’s lab. Shinwoo collapses on the sofa as soon as he pushes it. Shinwoo lowered his head, supported his head with both hands, and slowly opened his mouth.
“The performance has disappeared.”
Although the words were said calmly, it was not difficult to notice that Shinwoo’s nerves were extremely sharp.
“The last time I was seen was when I left the dormitory with Eunbyeol. “I have never seen the performance that was said to be coming home since then.”
“… “What did Cheon Hae-yeon say?”
“I’m looking for it. “I traced the flow of magic stones and found my broken cell phone, but that was all.”
The situation didn’t seem to be that good.
“It’s the same way as the people who disappeared until now. “There is no trace of resistance or anything to be found, as if someone had completely erased all traces.”
Shinwoo took a deep breath.
“We still haven’t found out anything about why or where they are taking people, and for what purpose… .”
When I grabbed Shinwoo’s shoulder, my words stopped. Shinwoo slowly raised his head and looked at me.
“You go to sleep first.”
“… Are not you tired.”
“That’s a really convincing look.”
I gave a thumbs up and pushed CNU’s shoulders, forcing him to lie down on the sofa. Normally, he would have pushed my hand away, but CNU obediently pushed back. The child’s condition clearly looked very bad.
As I watched Shinwoo lying quietly on the sofa and looking at the ceiling, a memory suddenly crossed my mind.
“ah.”
We still haven’t been able to capture Shinwoo’s ability, which greatly strengthened him when the chimera zombies invaded.
“… … .”
How could I have completely forgotten this?
I sighed as I assessed the flames that were still burning inside Shinwoo.
First of all, now was not the right time to mess with Shinwoo’s unique skills. No matter how much of the ability is recovered, something may happen.
In fact, at that time, I was in a hurry and randomly threw all of my unique skills at Shinwoo, so I didn’t really know to what extent Shinwoo’s abilities had been strengthened.
So, I wanted to at least try to capture Shinwoo’s abilities while he was in perfect condition.
“tight.”
“I’m not sleepy.”
“I understand, so go to sleep.”
Shinwoo blinked as he looked up at the ceiling, then closed his eyes. In an instant, his breathing became even.
“… “I will also look for performances.”
Leaving Shinwoo, who was sleeping as if dead, I picked up the data on the desk and left Haeyeon’s lab.
I didn’t forget to turn off the light before leaving.
