MEMORIZE

The 13th week was so tight that the 14th week was able to lead a very leisurely life. And this afternoon's education was last declared the end of all formal education at the Academy. The only official schedule left was the completion ceremony scheduled for tomorrow morning.

"Oppa. Say ah."

"Oh."

"Is it good?"

"Yes, it's delicious."

"Oh, my God, the Medical Road? This is a restaurant used with other people!"

When Hanbyeol, sitting next to me, swallowed the food, a high-pitched voice hit my ear. As I turned my head in the direction of the sound, I could see Sung Yu-bin smiling with a happy expression.

"Kellock, Kellock, Kellock, Kellock, Kellock.

"Drink some water."

"I, I'll drink it. Give it to me."

Sung Yu-bin burst into laughter, as if it was fun to see me panicking.

"Ho-ho! Oh, my. I'm kidding. You don't have to react so hard."

"Ha ha. Excuse me."

"I'm just kidding. Then why did you two get so close so suddenly? So it looks like you two are dating.”

"Seo, Sung Yubin executive!"

"She's a hard worker. What do you mean. Call her sister.

When I peeked at Hanbyeol pretending to avoid Sung Yu-bin's eyes, I could see her with her head down. In the first place, I told him not to make eye contact if he was not confident, but fortunately, he was following me well.

"Chit. Looking at your eyes, I feel like I'm being treated as a distraction. All right, I'll be gone already."

"Oh, Yubin. Wait a minute."

"What?"

"I joined a group of northern Clan members last night. I heard that there were some empty land in Barbara on this expedition. If you don't mind, can I get the data about him?”

Sung Yu-bin tilted her head at my words. Then, he met his palm with an "Ah!" face.

"Oh! Yes, I do. I'll send you the related data in detail on Hanbyul's side. Don't worry."

"Thank you."

I wanted to say, "Tomorrow is the completion ceremony, so I'm going to prepare in advance," but I decided to quit because I think I'm ahead of myself. Soon after, Sung Yu-bin left our side waving her hands, telling us to have a good time. And as soon as I checked that she left the restaurant, Han-byul, who was staring at the floor, looked up.

"Pooh."

Hanbyeol must have been holding her breath so hard that she breathed as if she was blowing a balloon. Blinking and Bibi took the spoon from her, I started eating again.

Soon after, Han-byeol, who looked around, immediately drew his face toward me and whispered.

"But was it necessary to even say that I was in a Northern meeting?”

"You're a suspicious woman. We need to make them believe in many situations. If you give me the data, don't hesitate to pick it up."

"Yes. Maybe I can get it today."

"Why?"

"He just sent me a call signal before he left."

Hanbyeol's words made me laugh. I don't know why, but I thought the reaction was too much. I nodded once or twice and continued.

"It's just great. I also promised to meet Hangyul after eating. We can meet at the accommodation later."

"Then I'll get up first.”

"Yeah, be careful not to get caught."

"Yes."

Han-byeol, who answered in a quiet voice, soon rose carefully and walked out of the restaurant.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow.’

Left alone, I stirred a few meatballs and picked one up.

Hanbyeol's face has become noticeably brighter since Seo Jin-woo and Sung Hyun-min were once established. As you can see from her tendencies, she seemed to be alive again when the light of hope came down after living only in despair and wounds.

At the meeting, we were able to set up detailed plans. Hanbyeol was listed on the withdrawal list that will explode on the day of the completion ceremony. And I decided to act for the rest of the day so that I wouldn't show any nonsense in the golden lion. Pretending to sleep with Hanbyeol, pretending to be close to the golden lion and the friendly clan. Literally, we decided to pretend.

To be honest, I thought it was a little funny. But now this ridiculous clown play is the last time. I threw a meatball into my mouth, praising myself for holding it in.

*

Originally, I was going to go home a little early, but time went by so quickly because I was so happy to meet and hear from Hangyeol. Thanks to him, I was even more excited about tomorrow's completion ceremony.

When I entered the accommodation with a light heart, I saw Han-byul sitting on the bed folding my instructor's uniform. She looked up slightly and looked at me, as if I had felt a sign of coming in. As soon as he tried to get closer, Han-byul looked sideways and sent some kind of signal. I immediately activated third eye and mana detection.

Two on the ceiling. Diagonal. Put it on the floor. Diagonal position. If combined, square position. Are they crazy?'

I sighed inside and lay on the bed. Han-byeol, who had just arranged the instructor's attire, soon opened her mouth by handing me a thick record.

"That's what you said in the restaurant earlier. Sung Yubin executive asked me to deliver it.”

"Oh, okay. Tell him thank you."

I studied the record hard for a while. It was a record that introduced products to build or buy Clan House, whether I interpreted myself at will (although it gave me room to do so). Still, I thought the price was cheaper than I thought, as if they cared. Even though the price of a big city didn't go anywhere.

While reading the record for a while, I felt that Hanbyeol's movement became quiet. The crystal ball now placed squarely up and down is not for video recording. I was able to read the information called for communication video recording. In other words, it means that it is a two-way use where voice and movement are transmitted in real time. By now, I had raised my body slowly after simply expressing my condolences to a voyeuristic patient who was swallowing his saliva and expecting Hanbyeol's death. I thought it was really disgusting.

"Today is the last day.”

"I see."

"It's a bit of a shame to sleep like this. Why don't you go out for a walk for a while?"

"Isn't it too late? There's a completion ceremony tomorrow, so just go to sleep."

"Let's get out of here. Sometimes it's good to play outside.”

Hanbyeol was answering without hesitation and matching each other. I grabbed her arm pretending to pull it out and forced her out. And the moment the door closed, we both sighed at the same time. Maybe Hanbyeol thought the same thing as me just now.

"Are you still suspicious?”

"Sung Yu-bin must want to make it clear. But I almost believe it."

"It was a year."

"What?"

"Oh, nothing."

I stomped along, evasively speaking. And I moved out of the accommodation, retracing the way I just walked. Since I came out like this, I really thought of going for a walk because I needed to spend time.

For a while, I and Hanbyul only walked quietly. The place I'm going now is Easter Egg. It was the only place that Jung Nam-mi was attached to at the user academy.

Soon after, I could hear Hanbyeol's exclamation when I arrived at Easter Egg after going through the bushes along various paths. This was the second time I brought her here. Hanbyeol was also showing a fresh response to whether it had been a while since he came here.

We moved to the center without saying a word. As always, as I closed my eyes and inhaled fresh air, a soft voice flowed behind my back.

"Oppa."

"Yes."

"Thank you for your help. I really, really appreciate it."

"You're welcome. And I still have one day left, but I'll congratulate you in advance."

"Yes…."

I could feel something squirming behind me. I took a deep breath once or twice and opened my mouth with a throw-away tone.

"I think there's something you want to me.

"…yes."

"Do it, then, now or never. You can do it like you used to do in front of a cabin.”

Han-byul flinched on the back that slightly touched her came in. I giggled inside.

"Can I really do it?"

"Yes."

"Then promise me you'll never get angry, and you won't think it's weird."

"What's that?"

"Because you won't be able to relate to what I want to say. And I also feel strange about myself.”

What the hell is he trying to say? Anyway, it's the last day of the academy. I thought it would be better to let him say as much as he wanted. And I was curious to hear what you were saying personally. I calmly replied, "Try it."

Despite my permission being dropped, a still silence was sought. However, the time was not that long.

"Do you remember when you were at the User Academy?"

"Oops."

"Do you think I left you then?”

“…….”

"What I thought at the time was. I've been waiting for you. Someone."

I've been waiting. Someone. I didn't clarify anyone, but I was intuitively aware that the target was me. Soon after, Hanbyul's voice began to flow beautifully like a song.

"I know, I've brought it on myself. But I was hoping you'd recognize me at least once. I've been waiting for you to visit me at least once."

“…….”

"I didn't want anything special. But at least the attention the other kids got. No, I do. You can trust me. With this word, I was hoping that someone would drag me along. Then he would have been dragged away as if he didn't win.”

"What…."

I was going to ask back what nonsense I was talking about, but I shut up. It was over anyway, and Hanbyeol had put up a smoke screen to see if she felt ashamed of herself. I smiled bitterly and asked a question just in case.

"I have a question."

"Yes."

"You know Baek Hangyeol, right? Why are you being so sharp to him?”

"Because I was jealous and jealous. He was getting a lot of attention that I didn't get from him. Like those kids."

"He's like a child, too.

I burst into laughter at Hanbyul's confession. I don't even feel like replying. In the past, I would have responded one by one in a fit of anger, but thinking about Hanbyeol, who would have been very courageous in saying this, made me laugh. He's probably embarrassed inside by now.

I think it's time to go back. Based on his experience with Ko, he was able to see that it had been about one outdoor play. At least you don't think it's premature.

"Yes, I heard you well. I won't say anything as promised. Anyway, I hope you forget all the sad memories. And I'm going to start anew from tomorrow."

"I'm still worried. Will I be able to do well?"

"It could be a little hard. But it depends on who you are. Anyway, let's get going."

This was the moment to wrap up the past story and try to walk again. At that moment, I felt Han-byeol's hand holding my arm tightly.

"Oppa, there's still more."

"You too..."

"I'm sorry."

“……?”

I paused at Hanbyeol's unexpected apology. And slowly turned away. There was a star staring at me in the bright moonlight. Soon after, I could see her glowing lips creeping open.

"I'm sorry, brother."

"Hanbyeol."

"I was wrong.”

"You."

"I know what you think of me. But as you said, I don't think I'll ever say it again unless it's now. I really wanted to apologize and ask for forgiveness the whole time I was away from you. I'm so sorry. Forgive me."

Hanbyeol's voice contained silence after a long time. But in her eyes, looking me in the face and talking, a tear was running down. Staring at Hanbyeol with a blank face, I unwittingly reached out my hand and wiped her tears away. Soon after, he moved his hand touching his face to his shoulder, and when he pulled it slightly, Han-byeol hugged me like a magnet.

Hanbyeol's body in my arms was thin. No, it wasn't just a slight thing, it was skinny. After patting her on the back for a while, she whispered quietly to Han-byul, who was burying her face.

"It's not my fault, it's not your fault."

“…….”

"Just. I think the way we were going was different. It's just that, I don't think you betrayed me."

I don't know if it's from the children's point of view, but at least from my point of view, I really think so. Hanbyul chose the golden lion, and I chose myself. I don't want to attach much meaning to that choice now. They just left because they didn't fit together. If I were Kim Han-byul at that time, I would also have chosen the golden lion. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Thank you very much…And I'm sorry....”

Hanbyeol's voice is faintly brushing against the ear. On a field of moonlight and wind blowing through Easter Egg. The last night went so deep, hugging a woman who cried quietly.

*

The last day of the User Academy was dawned. I woke up early today, but I deliberately slowed down. This is because the completion ceremony was very boring and it was full of troubles even if I went early.

When I turned my head, I saw Hanbyeol's empty bed, which left early unlike me. For a moment, I remembered what happened with her last night and put on some equipment. I felt a new feeling when I threw off my instructor's clothes and wore the equipment I had seen for the first time in a while.

I slowly moved towards the auditorium when I felt it would be over. I could see so many users on my way to the target point. There were occasional patterns of southeastern clans, but most of them were from the northwestern clans. Perhaps the golden lion must have been picking on something else.

"But the world we're going to have now is so complicated, so dangerous, so dizzy. A lot of groups, clans, are....”

As it approached the auditorium, something strange was being heard. As I was curious and made fun of my steps, I could see a rare sight on the stage.

"We are called new users. But as of today, I graduated from the word new. I have the status to proudly exercise my personal rights in Hall Plain. We happened in this situation. A person who does not abandon the suffering and can embrace those who are shunned for weakness. An organization that can stand on the side of the weak....”

Surely the completion ceremony is over. However, Park Hwan-hee was speaking on stage after the completion ceremony. When I turned my head, all the friendly clans, including the golden lion, had a subtle smile on their faces, while a handful of southeast instructors looked beaten up.

"Therefore, the 217 people, including me, the head of the new users, will not be in any clan. We are in a position of neutrality and have agreed to act independently. There may be some people who don't like it, but we will do our best to contribute to the development of the North continent, so please keep an eye on it. Thank you."

It was not long before the speech was over that thunderous applause began to burst out. Park Hwan-hee bowed his head as he walked down from the stage, and the applause grew louder. And a crowd of new people began to swarm around him.

I think I get it.’

Park Hwan-hee clearly vowed to move independently. But that would be for an external cause. Internally, it was clear that he had a deal with another Clan as he had heard before. I could guess from just a few SSUN Clan users who are now walking around him to celebrate. As a group, they decided to go to the western city and settle down.

Park Hwan-hee seemed busy receiving greetings from people around her, but soon she could see her hands waving with a bright smile to see if she had found someone. Then he started running out of the crowd. It was as if it were really welcome and welcoming.

Soon after, as he turned to the opposite direction, there was Cha Yu-na, who was also running waving her hand. And I could see Baek Hangyeol walking silently next to him.

I listened to my brother and thought a lot. And I was able to make up my mind.’

'But I'm too upset to just stand back without saying anything.’

A soft smile hangs around his mouth as he looks closely at his face. But at the moment, I'm the only one who knows what that smile means.

After looking at them for a while, I also started walking slowly towards them.
