VACATION [14]

Regressor's Instruction Manual Episode 896

Vacation (14)

His face seemed to have a lot to say.

Whether Kim Hyun-sung's first love was really Lee Ki-yeon or not, I couldn't tell, but the fact that he had some affection for her couldn't be denied.

Seeing that he had suggested going together towards blue, it seemed like he wanted to draw a subtly pink future.

'No way. Damn it. Lee Ki-yeon has Lee Ji-hoo, the young master.'

It started with the memories of a precious night, Kim Hyun-Sung's feelings. Maybe it was not a cautious confession to say, "Let's go together."

Considering Kim Hyun-Sung's personality, who was reluctant to speak directly, it was probably his limit in expressing himself...

From the beginning, it was clear that he didn't say such things often, so it took quite a bit of courage.

Something exciting seemed to have passed through his mind. He seemed unaware of his own feelings, but I could sense the indescribable regret he was feeling.

An important emotion that ended before it even started. I had no choice but to open my mouth to bring a definitive end to it.

"Yes, I love Lee Ji-hoo."

Bitch Ki-yeon is already a slave only to Lee Ji-hoo. It doesn't matter if he's the Blue Guild Master or the Sunset swordman. In this world, what matters is not ability or appearance.

"Well... I see."

"I'm sorry for saying such things in front of the Blue Guild Master."

"No, it's... I..."

Don't deny it. Let's be honest. I have to nail it down. You're claiming it's a love that you didn't confess. You need to be more aware of reality.

"I'm not completely clueless either."

"Yes?"

"Even though I know the Blue Guild Master's heart..."

It was a tree that was impossible to climb from the beginning. Do you understand what I'm saying? And you have to make it clear. If it's ambiguous, you might be able to win the psychological battle, so you need to be aware that you were the one who got hurt.

It's like hitting a ball before denying it. Kim Hyun-sung didn't have any intention to confess, and it didn't seem like he had such strong emotions, but if you play the receiving role, you can better understand the situation you're in.

"I'm sorry for not accepting Hyun-sung's feelings."

'I built it up. Really.'

Like magic, the buildup. This guy is really going all out with the confession of his lifetime.

'The wall is up. Really.'

But I have to give in a bit now. That's what management is all about.

"If I had met Hyun-sung a little earlier..."

This dialogue. It's typical, but it's clean and touches the heart.

"If I... If I could have had a healthier love too..."

Kim Hyun-Sung's eyes were filled with regret. Humans are creatures who are influenced by the atmosphere.

In the dim space, as they had a close conversation, naturally, even emotions that weren't there before will start to arise.

Of course, Lee Ki-yeon's acting skills are one of the factors that drive this situation.

With a pitiful face, teary eyes, seductive lips, slightly reddened cheeks, and fragile gestures, she stimulates the instinct to protect.

It's like experiencing an illusion of being in the middle of a melodrama.

'Even the monk would be thrilled.'

Even someone without any emotions can be swayed by the atmosphere to the point of thinking such thoughts. It's not unreasonable for Kim Hyun-Seong to unknowingly fall for it. Once again, Lee Kiyeon sheds a teardrop like a precious gem.

Why couldn't Kim Hyun-Seong have met her earlier? Why does she have to experience this kind of love? Why am I so foolish and naive?

Even though one is capable of having a good love, why do I ultimately succumb and listen to the voice of my heart? Why can't I accept the feelings of the Blue Guild Master? I...

'Please comfort me.'

"Kiyeon-ssi..."

'I need your comfort right now. Embrace me. Please, hold me tight until my body relaxes. Please, I beg you, hold me.'

It could be considered a hypnotic technique of sorts. Kim Hyun-Seong's face, as if looking at the most pitiful woman in the world, shows an expression that he must somehow console Lee Kiyeon.

How can he just leave a woman who is pleading to be embraced and comforted?

In the end, Kim Hyun-Seong slightly reaches out his hand to comfort the wounded woman.

"Don't do this. Blue Guild Master."

That's impossible. Damn it.

"No more... Please, don't treat me like this anymore. Don't shake my heart any longer."

Damn it, you brat.

"I... I'm sorry. I was just..."

Even though he didn't confess, he got rejected twice.

But seriously, you really need to meet a good woman, Hyun-Seong. How can you survive in this cruel world while being so clueless? Seriously.

By being this foolish... by acting like a pushover and giving everything, even the existing charm disappears.

If he meets a cunning person like a fox, he might sell my guild altogether. I should quickly connect him with Hyejin, really.

"I didn't have such intentions. It just felt like I wanted to comfort you..."

"You're a good person, Hyun-Sung..."

"No, I'm not a good person..."

"The person who receives love from Hyun Sung will definitely be happy."

Even these lines are quite skillfully delivered. My noona is really good at planting unnecessary hopes.

"Well..."

"Please leave that warmth for someone who truly needs Hyun Sung."

As he pushes me away again, I spoke.

'If possible, leave it for Hyejin. I haven't sold my stocks yet.'

Kim Hyun Sung nods slowly, his face showing a realization. There was a tinge of bitterness in his expression, but there was also a strong sense of relief.

"Yes, I think I understand what you're saying Kiyeon-ssi."

"Now, what should we do..."

"I should go back to the young master, right?"

"..."

"It was nice to meet you, Hyun Sung."

Just as I slowly stood up.

"Ki... Ki-yeong..."

With that sound, he grabs my hand. A moment later, he quickly releases it with a surprised expression, but it was a somewhat unexpected situation.

Of course, I don't think he showed any lingering feelings. Because it would be too much for him to know that Lee Ki-yeon's heart won't change... he couldn't have known.

Perhaps he is trying to tie up loose ends in his own way.

Whether it becomes a knot or a new connection, I don't know, but Kim Hyun Sung's expression looked quite serious.

"It could be unnecessary meddling."

"What?"

"Maybe Lee Ki-yeon doesn't want it..."

"...."

"I want to help in any way I can."

"What? That's..."

"It's not for any specific demand... or any other purpose. It's just that... it feels like it should be this way..."

"You're kind. I... thought I behaved badly."

"No, you didn't. Honestly, I still don't know what kind of person Lee Ki-yeon is... And I don't really know what this feeling I have for Lee Ki-yeon means... But at least I hope Lee Ki-yeon is happy. This feeling is not a lie."

'Damn it. Is this guy for real? Seriously? Is he for real?'

So, that's it? It's an unfulfilled love, an impossible love, but you want to make them happy? You want to support their love from a distance. Is that it?

You bastard. Did you receive a script from Nuna and come here? Are you some sort of supporting character in a melodrama?

I really suspect whether this bastard was hired. But there was no wavering in Kim Hyun Sung's eyes.

Even if he doesn't have an interest in others, it's clear that he has some hidden feelings for Lee Ki-yeon, given how suddenly he cares for her.

He even betrayed his brother. There is no regret in that betrayal. Kim Hyun Sung's expression is quite serious.

In my heart, I wanted to give him a punch, but the timing never seemed right. I was too preoccupied, constantly shifting my footsteps.

The process of bringing the person he liked to his competitor. If Kim Hyun Sung were a little weaker, it would have appeared even more noble.

The position of a knight who protects the princess from all kinds of dangers.

A knight is sacrificial. Despite the sad reality that the princess can only be with the prince, the blue kingdom's knight of sunset burns everything for the innocent princess.

If you put on a filter, you can see it like this. No matter how you look at it, it seems too easy to slice through the monster with just one swing. Perhaps Lee Ji-hoo is also looking at it without wearing a filter. The struggle of the knight of the sunset. Knowing that there is separation at the end of that struggle, but still sacrificing for the heroine.

This character would have been popular no matter which medium they appeared in... just because of their face. If there had been a popularity poll, they would always have been at the top.

Finally, the knight stands in front of the prince, with a body full of wounds.

'A novel came out. Damn.'

"Noona?"

"Young master..."

"Nuna... Nuna..."

"Yes, my lord. It's me. Lee Ki-yeon... Your Lee Ki-yeon."

Lee Ki-yeon bursts into tears. The previous reunion wasn't touching, but this one is different. Lee Ki-yeon has realized that she loves Ji-hoo.

No matter what difficulties lie ahead, even if she is hated by her lord, she has resolved to overcome the hardships.

Isn't it appropriate to credit the setting of the knight of the sunset for teaching her that mindset?

Our adventure, mine and Kim Hyun-Sung's, was short but took about five months. Even this time, there are many parts that need to be compressed due to time constraints.

However, with a trembling heart, she takes a step forward.

"Young master, I..."

"Don't say anything, Nuna."

'Ji-hye, your emotional range is truly...'

"Please don't say anything anymore."

"But..."

"I realized it after breaking up with Nuna."

"....."

"I've only now realized how precious you are to me, Nuna... That simple fact... It doesn't matter what kind of person you are. I... I love you, Lee Ki-yeon."

The hesitant footsteps quicken.

"Y-Young master!."

Tears well up in her eyes once again.

Lee Ki-yeon suddenly starts running. Gasping for breath, as if wanting to be embraced in Young master's arms. Staggering as if about to fall, but eventually regaining her strength and running with all her might.

The young master does the same. His face, already drenched in tears, as he runs from the opposite direction.

Gone is his usual playful demeanor. He is now a mess, consumed by his desires, desperately yearning for one woman.

It feels like that desperation is telling the story of how far he has come to find Lee Ki-yeon.

And the two of them embrace each other. Holding each other tightly, confirming their love for each other more than anyone else.

"I'll do anything for you. Really."

But it was a bit fun.

If only the last words of Kim Hyun-Sung's bittersweet conversation weren't there, it would have been even more enjoyable.

"I will pay for his freedom. General of the Republic."

"....."

"One million..."

"What?"

"No, it's two million gold. Is that okay?"

'You... You're really something, bastard.'

"Ki-yeon, please be happy..."

'Kim Hyun-seong, you rotten bastard... You sold yourself to the devil, leaving me behind like a fool. But I'll make sure to leave the money for the brothers who sacrificed for you. That's right, isn't it? I have money, don't I?'

If you don't give me the money, we're truly done. You know that, right?

-Hahahaha! I'll take the gift with, Lee Ki-yeon!

Jinchung's overly cheerful voice felt like it was scratching my insides.
