Episode 53. Everything follows fate.

– Plop.

A bathtub provided inside a hotel room.

Airi submerged her body in the cold water contained there and sank her head beneath the surface, lost in her thoughts.

A chill that seeps deep into every corner of my body.

I hoped it would cool the heat that filled my head, but all it did was make it more vivid.

‘How did I happen to say something like that in front of Mr. Hyosung…’

Yes, no matter how much you try to ignore reality, time passes.

It may be said that he said it without realizing it, but if he had run away as soon as he said it, he could have made it something that never happened.

Nevertheless, the fact that you followed him into this hotel doesn’t seem like you’re saying that’s what you wanted too?

‘I, really, I, like that…’ ….’

What we have been seeing through prophecy will soon become reality.

Just imagining that, at this moment, I felt a shiver run through my body being touched under the water.

It was as if she had prepared herself for what was to come, as if her instincts as a woman had blossomed.

‘Come to your senses, Airi! No matter how embarrassing it is, you can’t lose yourself!’

Airi escapes from her bathtub and gathers her heart to deny such unexpected thoughts.

Afterwards, as if feeling repulsed by her feelings, she actively left the bathroom, changed into light indoor clothes in her dressing room, and exited into the living room.

It was at that moment that he returned from his outing.

“Airi, I brought you something to drink…” ….”

“Ah, Mr. Hyosung.”

Airi calls out her name while wiping the moisture from her head with a towel.

I adjusted my voice to hide my previous confusion as much as possible, but for some reason, I felt that his gaze was rigid when facing me.

“…Why are you doing that?”

“Oh, no… I brought you something to drink, would you like to have it with me?”

“Ah, yes. Alcohol… ….”

It is not uncommon for people to bring alcohol when spending time with each other.

But Airi couldn’t help but feel quite wary of the bottle of alcohol he brought.

That’s because, according to the predetermined future with no variables, an incident occurred while drinking with him.

“… “I think juice would be better than alcohol.”

Yes, no matter what, she shouldn’t lose her senses when she’s drunk.

“Ah, yes. “You mean juice?”

“Yes, I’m a bit weak when it comes to alcohol… …. “Give me a bottle of alcohol, and I’ll exchange it for juice.”

“Yes? “You mean like that?”

“Yes?”

Hyosung asks in shock.

Airi felt a doubt at those words and glanced down at her body.

It’s just a sleeveless, comfortable loungewear. What’s wrong with this outfit?

“Oh, no, that. I’ll come back. I am.”

Hyosung hurriedly leaves the place as if it was uncomfortable to even see him like that.

Afterwards, Airi, who was left alone, stared blankly at the place he had seen, then stopped thinking and sank down on the bed.

As Jinjo’s power still remains, he is also in a state where he cannot make normal judgments, so I made a rough guess.

‘I’m definitely not sane, but I haven’t completely taken control of my mind yet.’

Although we do not know Jinjo’s intentions, it cannot be said that he has completely lost his reason as his power is weak.

At most, a state of being somewhat intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Although the actions that result from this may be extreme and radical, their basis is likely to come from the memories or instincts that the person possesses.

In other words, there was only encouragement, and the fact that he asked for ‘that kind of relationship’ must mean that his true intentions were added to some extent.

‘Hyosung made me…’ ….’

The moment when the sensation of a hand on your chest can be clearly felt through thin clothes.

‘You really looked at me like that from the first time you saw me…….’

The moment when the heat that had subsided in the cold water began to increase again along with the pounding.

Airi, who felt the sound of her heartbeat becoming clearer at the same time, lowered her red face and became lost in thought.

‘It’s not that I don’t like him.’

There was no way I would dislike it.

Because it is a rather confusing world. In a world full of danger, there is enough reason to be friendly just because you have no malicious intent.

That aspect is deeply imprinted in my mind and cannot be forgotten, so I have always felt an extension of such evaluation building up inside me just by thinking about him.

‘But… …. ‘Is it really okay to do this?’

This situation was created by such ruminations causing us to exhale positivity without awareness, but we are still on the verge of crossing the line.

If you can change it, the only opportunity is now. You can change the future, but you cannot change the past.

Perhaps it is something that should not be accomplished by leaving a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to the flow rather than a well-formed decision.

“Airi, I brought you juice.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

Airi was handed the bottle he had given her when he came to that decision.

Afterwards, the two people sat side by side on the bed and concentrated on drinking their share of drinks for a while.

He has juice, and he has alcohol.

It seemed like he had been drinking before meeting him, but even so, his gaze did not seem to be disturbed.

Is the spirit as strong as the innate mental power?

“Yes, Mr. Airi.”

Yes, since it has such strong mental power, it will not be long before it regains its sanity if the spellcaster is not by its side.

As if my predictions were correct, I could feel his voice becoming hardened, despite his confident initial tone.

“I somehow ended up in this situation, and…. I’m asking this just in case, but you’re forcing me to go along with what I said on the street earlier…….”

“Shh.”

Guilt due to belated realization.

She narrowed the distance between her mouth and blocked it with her finger as she was about to spit it out. She looked up at him from below her eye level and whispered softly.

“Can you please be quiet for a moment? “I’ll explain everything.”

“Explanation?”

“Yes, I will explain why I accepted Mr. Hyosung’s offer.”

Airi, who spoke again, immediately withdrew her hand in front of him and looked at his face quietly.

I wore only a thin indoor coat.

In a situation where it would not be surprising if she took off just one more layer of her skin, she strengthened her resolve and turned her brightly opened eyes towards him.

“… Mr. Hyosung.”

I called his name, which I have never forgotten.

To carry on what can be called a resolution that he made while he was away for a while.

“I know a lot about you. “You must have guessed that too, right?”

“Ah, yes. From the first time we met, you knew my name and what I was doing…….”

“As I said, I have the ability to read the past of people I encounter. Although I cannot learn information about the previous world, at least from the moment I met you, I have a rough idea of what you have been through since coming to this world.”

The name Woo Hyo-seong, and the fact that he fell into the world of a foreigner after entering this world.

Furthermore, I know that I have faced the risk of dying countless times while helping the warriors, and that it was not just luck that helped me survive in the process.

And I felt that such evaluation was increasing.

Because I think of him at every moment and cannot forget him, I have immersed myself more seriously in his past.

“I… …. “I think you’re a great person.”

There was no lies or pretense in the evaluation at the end.

That feeling became even stronger through this moment when my heart trembled just by facing him.

“Oh, no. It’s amazing…….”

“No, Mr. Hyosung is a great person. “Unlike me, who is powerless without the prophecy.”

Look at it even now.

The God of Destruction’s judgment was clouded by the variables created by one transcendental person, and he was unable to properly respond to the incident that occurred during the gap, creating this situation, right?

Even now, all I can do is maintain my composure, so it’s the same as not being able to use the power of the Haven clan.

She lost her ability to prophesy, and she realized how helpless she was, a situation she had unintentionally created.

“So, when I saw a future with you… ….”

So let’s just acknowledge that feeling.

“Is it ok?”

“No matter what the form, I think the result is probably the result of my sincerity… …. “I’ve thought about it sometimes.”

As she expressed her honest feelings in a firm voice, she tightly clenched the hand holding her bedsheets.

“It’s not a person-to-person feeling, but rather, it’s a feeling we have as people of the opposite s*x…” ….”

– Excited, excited.

The sound of the heartbeat gradually getting louder.

It doesn’t just come from anxiety.

If you only see your true intentions without lies, you are even feeling ‘expectation’ at this moment.

“Okay, then. Airi too…”

“But I’m sorry, Hyosung.”

And that’s why Airi felt guilty towards him.

Even though I feel emotionally drawn to it, not yet.

Because I couldn’t shake the thought that it was too early to make that thought come true.

“I should have reacted more calmly, but you came to this situation and said something like this.”

“… “Reject, is it?”

“It’s not that I don’t like you. “It’s just because I have a mission.”

Yes, the reason he came to this empire in the first place was to prevent the destruction predicted by the first ancestor.

In order to do so, he wandered around to find the person who was destined to save the world, and while avoiding the eyes of the guards, he told fortunes on passers-by.

Even if the person in front of me was considered special among them, it was impossible for him, who had even shouldered the mission of the revival of his clan, to impulsively allow his body to do so.

“So just a little… ….”

If you change that stance and commit something, there will definitely be consequences that both sides will regret in the future.

After being married to him, if you end up marrying another man to follow your mission.

It would be the same as betraying the person who gave his heart to you.

“Can you give me a little time?”

So, for now, we need to take some time and observe.

If you think it’s too early for a relationship at this moment, I thought it was the right answer and took a step back. He, who had been silently listening to what he said, soon smiled bitterly and lowered his head.

“I knew Airi’s feelings well.”

“… Mr. Hyosung.”

“If there is a clear situation, you want to focus on that. “The fact that you came into the room like this after my unreasonable request was obviously a result of your consideration and consideration for me.”

A feeling of desperation and regret in his voice.

That probably means that although he was also looking forward to the future, he, like himself, was feeling anxious that he could not accept this situation for granted.

So, it is clear that he will also treat this situation cautiously.

“Well, then…” . “Are we just pretending that what happened now never happened?”

“No, that’s impossible.”

“Huh? What is that……. “aaah!”

A body falling onto the bed due to an unexpected push.

Afterwards, I tried to resist somehow, but the thought that such a thing would be possible against the shadow cast in front of me was soon erased.

In the first place, defeating the power of men trained through labor would be impossible for someone who has lost the ability to predict.

“Hyo, Hyosung, please calm down! Hyosung is not this kind of person!”

“There’s no way that’s possible! Even though you were openly flirting with me earlier, you told me to wait a little while! “Who are you kidding!?”

“Temptation… I didn’t do it! I have no such thoughts at all…!”

“If wearing such thin clothes and lying defenseless in bed isn’t temptation, then what is temptation!?”

“Yes? Ha, but clothes like this are normal indoors!”

“It’s s*xy! “It felt even more erotic because I wasn’t aware of it at all!!!”

“Eh, eh!?”

A direct comment was made to my face, but there was no way I was aware of it.

She lived as an astrologer as the successor to Haven, but she had no awareness of how her true self would appear to others.

As I had never been in the same room as a man from outside, I had no way of knowing how others would view my preference for comfortable clothes indoors.

“Please be aware. Airi, you are an attractive woman, and I am an untrustworthy man.”

On the other hand, the person in front of her is a man who is clearly hungry for s*x.

No matter how high your mental strength is, if a situation is created so blatantly, your patience will inevitably be tested.

Even that patience is enough to maintain a certain degree of reason against the vampire’s deception, but the true intention that the other person will not reject oneself has reached the point of cutting off the last good that one must have at this moment.

“No, I don’t know that.”

So no matter how much you try to speak sincerely and rely on his heart, it would be natural for a situation like this to arise when the two of you enter this room alone.

Despite realizing this, Airi just ends up looking away from him, as if escaping reality.

“This is my first time being in the same room as a man like this, uh, what should I do… ….”

“It’s true that I don’t hate it, right?”

The sound of words suddenly cut off at the question that suddenly follows such a small resistance.

After that, she, holding her breath, glanced at him and began to quietly move her head towards him.

-Ha, ha.

The moment when the quiet sounds of breathing flowing from each other’s mouths harmonize, increasing the heat in the room.

With such heat covering the alcohol and making you drunk, he finally put his strength into his throat and spoke.

“…… “I will take responsibility.”

It was a groundless statement.

These are just words that someone who feels self-harming over the fact that they are weak rashly utters something because they are buried in their immediate desires.

“No matter what responsibility Airi bears or what mission she carries out, I will also bear it.”

But even if I can’t handle it, I don’t avoid it.

He knew what he was talking about, and was prepared to take all responsibility for it himself.

“Mr. Hyosung….”

“So don’t leave.”

Because I’ve been missing it all along.

Because he kept sending away the people who gave him his heart because he couldn’t handle it.

“Now, I don’t want to let go of the people who are by my side.”

The helplessness I felt each time soon became a dagger and led to an earnest desire for opportunities.

No matter how little time we met, no matter what fate lurks in the future.

After this moment, I will think about seizing an opportunity that will never come again.

‘…Ah, great ancestor,’

But how can it be considered a sin?

To criticize him as foolish for waiting for an answer without reaching out even though he felt desire, it would be even more ugly for him to feel his heart pounding at this moment.

‘I may be carrying a mission, but I guess I’m just another human being.’

Yes, she did not refuse.

The past cannot be changed, and the present unfolds with the past as its root.

The two knew too well the feelings they had for each other to quit just because they had to keep their distance due to their mission.

“Mr. Airi?”

“Please don’t say anything.”

He is determined to survive even in a world like this and will always be hungry for people.

He cannot forget that man, and he foresees a future in which he will have to shoulder a mission that is too difficult for him to handle on his own.

“I’m not shameless enough to come here and tell you not to do anything… ….”

The moment I realized that, I gradually loosened my grip on his body.

At the end, she exposed herself defenselessly and spoke quietly.

“So, don’t say anything now…”

“Let’s just focus on following each other’s destiny.”

The future that I have been so afraid of until now.

As I realized that it had become reality through none other than my own will.
