I am not a returner Episode 350:
Starlight (2)
A residential-commercial apartment complex near Hapjeong Station.
The door of Ojin House, which was originally a house of about 20 pyeong but boasted an area of over 50 pyeong through expansion work, was opened within a few months.
“It’s home!”
Ha-eun raised both arms, threw off her shoes, and ran into the house as if she were flying.
“Huhhh~ Haha. “This familiar sofa smell.”
Ha-eun, who was lying face down on the living room sofa, hugged the cushion (usually used by Oh-jin) like a bamboo lady and hugged her body.
Oh Jin looked at Ha-eun who was making a fuss and let out a chuckle.
Although not as much as Ha-eun, he was also quite upset.
“It’s nice to come home after a long time.”
Is this what it feels like when you return home after being deployed overseas for several months?
A smile spread across my face as the events I experienced in the Demonic Scenery passed through my mind like a panorama.
“Let’s unpack tomorrow and get some rest today.”
It is no exaggeration to say that I carried the space-expanding backpack with me this time, and I unpacked the equipment I was wearing and placed it in the corner of the living room.
The relief of arriving home after a long time filled me with a sense of fatigue that felt like my body was about to melt away.
“I think I need to go out for a bit.”
“Where?”
“I got a call from Roberto a while ago saying that there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with.”
“ah.”
As the Colgrande family runs dozens of businesses, the work that has accumulated during her absence must be considerable.
“But you don’t have to go to work as soon as you get back, right?”
“I will only take care of really urgent matters. “Let’s eat dinner together.”
Isabella gently approached and kissed Ojin’s cheek.
“Hmm.”
Because of this, I feel like I have become a pillar of life who plays and eats with the money my wife earns.
“Then, see you in the evening, Mr. Ohjin.”
“ok. “Oh, my sister and I will prepare dinner, so come leisurely.”
“…With your sister?”
Isabella looks down at Ha-eun rolling around on the sofa with eyes full of suspicion.
Ha-eun spun around, hugging the cushion.
“I can cook too?”
“Anyone can do it.”
“Don’t you trust me?”
“yes.”
Ha-eun curled up like a shrimp and looked downcast at the pumpkin-like answer.
“…too bad.”
“Hehe, it’s just a joke, sister. “I’m looking forward to dinner?”
Isabella patted Ha-eun’s downcast shoulder for a moment and then went out of the house.
In the living room, only Ha-eun and Oh-jin remain.
Ha-eun tapped the seat next to the sofa with her hand as if to tell Oh-jin to sit down.
As Ha-eun sits down, she naturally places her slender legs on Oh-jin’s thighs and lies down on the sofa again.
“It’s been a while since we’ve been together like this.”
“I know.”
Oh Jin leaned against the back of the sofa and lightly massaged Ha Eun’s legs on her thighs.
Ha-eun’s body trembles with a melting expression.
“Huh. There, there. “Just a little harder.”
“Please refrain from using lines that may be misunderstood.”
When someone hears it, it seems like they are doing something other than a massage.
“Huh? “What kind of misunderstanding is this?”
Ha-eun tilted her head, but then her eyes sparkled as if she understood, and a deep smile appeared on her lips.
She gently rubbed Ojin’s thigh with her heel and gave him a heated gaze.
“Then you just have to make sure it’s not a misunderstanding, right?”
“…Let’s get some rest today.”
“Eh, tsk. “If you’re going to do that, take it off, you bastard.”
What do you have to take off?
When I glared at him as if it was absurd, Ha-eun turned her back with a blank look on her face.
Ojin chuckled and picked up the remote control lying nearby.
“Should I at least turn on the TV?”
“no it’s okay.”
Ha-eun, who had turned her back and was silently looking at the screen that was turned off, cautiously opened her mouth.
“…Ojina.”
“huh?”
“Well… you told me about the Heavenly Demon before.”
“….”
On the way back to Earth after finishing work in Niflheim.
Oh Jin revealed all the facts he had been hiding to Ha-eun and Isabella.
About the Black Heaven, about the Returner, the identity and purpose of the Heavenly Demon, etc.
‘We were both very surprised.’
Although it wasn’t as good as Vega.
Both Ha-eun and Isabella glared at Oh-jin with angry expressions, as if asking why he was hiding that fact.
Because of that, I wasn’t able to talk to the two women properly for the next few days, but I was forgiven before I returned to Earth.
‘Because the situation was a little different with Vega.’
Unlike Vega, who deceived everything from beginning to end, Ha-eun and Isabella still knew his identity to some extent.
I can say it’s thanks, but the shock I received was probably less than that of Vega.
Especially in Ha-eun’s case, she knew that Oh-jin had the Dark Heaven and that he was pretending to be a regressor.
“So there are two of you now?”
Ha-eun turned again and looked up at Oh-jin from her lying position on the sofa.
Ohjin nodded quietly and answered.
“yes.”
Misdiagnosis of past life and misdiagnosis of present life.
The lives and ways of living are different.
It was true that two Ojins existed at the same time at the same time.
“Hmm. “There are two Ojinis…”
Ha-eun trailed off, moving her legs on Oh-jin’s thighs.
Then, as if he had a good idea, his eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers.
“Shall we share?”
What are you sharing, you crazy sister?
“Look at the kid with a straight face? “I’m kidding, man.”
Ha-eun burst into laughter and poked Oh-jin’s side with her toe.
“…How are you?”
“huh? “How are you?”
“That there is another me.”
“Oh, that?”
Ha-eun laid her head on her clasped hands and let out a sob.
“Actually, even if there is another you, I don’t really feel it. “I’ve never actually seen it or talked to it.”
“That’s right.”
In the opposite position, even if someone tells you that Ha-eun from your past life is alive now, you might think, ‘Oh, is that so?’ All you will have is an impression of what you want.
“To be honest, I was a little sad when I heard about it, but…”
Ha-eun slowly got up from the sofa and gently rested her head on Oh-jin’s shoulder.
A pleasant smell that tickles the tip of your nose.
Ha-eun hugged Oh-jin’s arm with a faint smile.
“But since I’m here, I want to stay with you.”
Ojin knows that the Heavenly Demon has suffered terrible pain and made countless sacrifices for him.
To be honest, I felt sympathy.
but.
The current ‘misdiagnosis’ was already too deep in her mind to choose him out of sympathy.
“…Still, you’ll only give the Heavenly Demon for your sister, right?”
“Hmm. “After hearing it, I find it a bit disturbing.”
Ha-eun narrowed her eyes and pinched Oh-jin’s side.
“Mr. Oh-jin in the past life said that just me is enough, but I guess you just have to make three wives and four concubines to be satisfied?”
“That’s…”
To be honest, I didn’t have anything to say about that part.
As Oh Jin lowered his head with a sullen expression, Ha-eun burst into laughter.
She continued speaking while gently rubbing Ojin’s stomach with the hand that had been pinching his side.
“But I prefer a man who takes responsibility for precious people like you, Ozini, rather than a man who doesn’t care if everyone else dies just for me.”
“…sister.”
“Ugh. “Were you scared that our cute Ojini sister would leave?”
Ha-eun holds Oh-jin’s cheek and playfully stretches it.
“You promised. “Let’s continue to be together from now on.”
“….”
Seeing Ha-eun smiling brightly, the corners of Oh-jin’s tight mouth loosened.
but.
“…So what are you going to do Vega?”
Oh Jin’s mouth hardened again at Ha Eun’s next question.
Vega.
When I thought about her, my heart felt heavy, as if a dark cloud had gathered over it.
“I have to go to the sanctuary.”
I heard that the temple door was closed, but I couldn’t just wait for her to come out.
“Well, Vega will fully understand. “He likes you too.”
“…did you know?”
“No, then you’re showing it off like that, but you don’t understand?”
Just by looking at Vega’s eyes as she looked at Ojin, it was a woman’s instinct, and it was obvious at a glance that she had feelings for Ojin.
“ha. “I didn’t know that you would even seize the constellation.”
Ha-eun touched her forehead as if she had a headache.
She climbed onto Ojin’s lap and pushed him onto the sofa.
“Now wait a minute, sister!”
“We can’t do this. “The more I think about it, the more disgusting I feel, so I have to punish him.”
He said he was tired today, so I tried to let him rest for a while.
As we talked, my head got hot and I couldn’t stay still.
“Until my sister calms down… you know?”
“Okay.”
How can I refuse since I have committed a sin?
Oh Jin swallowed his sleep and strongly pulled Ha Eun’s waist as she climbed onto the boat.
* * *
“Whoa.”
next day.
Arriving at the sanctuary, Ojin sighed deeply.
The steps toward the temple were as heavy as a thousand pounds.
‘What do I have to apologize for?’
When I thought about the betrayal that Vega must have felt, I felt like I had a rock on my chest.
“…I have to meet you first.”
Even if you stop here and think about it, you won’t find an answer.
Ojin ascended the sanctuary along a path that resembled the Milky Way.
The temple of Vega is located on the top floor of the sanctuary.
Among the three paths, I walked up to the place where the temple of Jiknyeo Seong was located.
“….”
Just as Allen said, the temple door was seen to be tightly closed.
Oh Jin bit his lip gently while standing in front of the door.
I carefully knocked on the temple door with my clenched fist.
“…Vega.”
There is no answer.
Thump thump.
I knocked on the temple door with a little more force.
“Vega has something to tell you.”
Ugh.
The temple door, which had been tightly closed, was seen opening little by little.
When a sigh of relief escaped Ojin’s mouth.
Ugh! Ugh!
“Wow!”
With a strong impact, Ojin’s body was thrown backwards like a cannonball.
A strong shock that feels like your internal organs are being shaken.
Ojin lifted his head, clutching his stomach as a terrible pain surged through him.
“…Riak?”
“….”
What came out of the temple door was a wolf with a silver mane.
Riak looked down at Ojin with cold eyes and opened his mouth.
“You’ve been using Vega for your own good until now, so how dare you shamelessly ask me to open the door?”
I could feel the deeply condensed anger in his ice-cold voice.
Ojin stood up shakily and said.
“…I have something I want to tell Vega.”
“What do you want to say?”
Riak snorted and approached the fallen Ojin.
“Vega said there was nothing more to talk about with you.”
“….”
“go away.”
Instead of answering, Ojin took a step toward the temple.
“okay… “I knew you would come out like that.”
Riak fiercely twisted the corner of his mouth, revealing his pure white teeth.
“If you want to meet Jeong Vega.”
Creep, boom, boom!
With an eerie sound of bone fracture, Riak’s body changed into the form of a werewolf.
“Beat me and go, kid.”
The beast’s eyes, shining with life, turned towards Ojin.
