Chapter 2 (2/2)

Models and top celebrities from different countries were included.

The girl in front of me wasn't enough to change my feelings.

Even if she did, she couldn't attract me with just her appearance since I had a lot of experience.

Gulp!

Yang Man-Woo gulped.

”Will you really be okay? It's just that I'm worried about you. Let me drink some water…”

”I would appreciate it if we didn't talk about this anymore.”

”It's because you're feeling uneasy. Eun-Ha! You talk to him.”

Eun-Ha scoffed and stopped was.h.i.+ng the dishes.

Taking off the rubber gloves and calmly walking my way, she sat directly in front of me.

It was as if she was asking, ”Would you be able to decline even when I'm sitting in front of you like this?”

I'm sure guys would go crazy over her coquettish behavior.

”Let's go together. It seems like you don't have that many friends. I'll help you make friends.”

The dull smile she had when she extended her hand meant, I should feel honored because a pretty girl like her was willing to be my friend.

Ignoring her hand, I answered.

”Having a lot of friends isn't always the best.”

Especially in the world that's about to unravel, you need to choose your friend wisely.

When Yang Ha-Eun mentioned the world, ”friend,” I knew she meant slaves.

I said without thinking much, but Yang Ha-Eun raised her eyebrow.

”But, wouldn't it be better than being alone?”

”Being alone is better.”

I turned my attention.

I was obviously ignoring her.

Her expression told me that she couldn't believe what I was saying, but I didn't care.

”Sir, are you here to make fun of me?”

”Of course not! I genuinely want to help you from the bottom of my heart…”

”I think you leaving this place is helping me. I want to be alone.”

It was obvious that I slammed it in his face.

Yang Man-Woo's face reddened.

I won this.

”Please be careful on your way back. The door is over there.”

It took a while for Yang Man-Woo to get up from his seat.

It seemed like he wasn't expecting me to be so persistent about my decision.

”Eun-Ha, let's go!”

Yang Eun-Ha glared at me and then turned around.

Bam!

The door closed and I immediately headed towards the bathroom.

'Let's wash up first.'

Since I sent them away, I overcame one obstacle.

Yang Man-Woo was stubborn, so he probably won't bother me for a while.

Thanks to this, I somewhat secured my freedom.

No one was watching me.

I looked at the mirror.

My face showed that I haven't washed up for two weeks, but my eyes were still s.h.i.+ning.

It now felt like I actually returned.

I can change the future.

Late next day. As if we made plans, Min-Sik came over.

I somewhat a.s.sumed, so I wasn't surprised.

He looked so shabby.

His clothes were torn, hair was a mess and there was sand all over his body.

”You…”

”Did you get beat up or something?”

”What exactly happened?”

Min-Sik's eyes widened when he saw me all washed up and my clean room.

”About what? Actually, what happened to you?”

He asked casually. It was perfect acting even in my eyes.

Honestly, I had a feeling I knew what Min-Sik's been up to the past several days.

'He went to get awakened.'

He probably found the door to the abyss.

One of the requirements for awakening was to be in contact with the 'door.'

Since he returned, it probably meant he succeeded.

Slightly turning my attention, I looked at Min-Sik's left shoulder.

There were three dots that I've never seen before. Also, in his chest pocket, there was a worn out parchment.

It was clear what those meant.

'Grimoire. He became a Grimoire.'
