Chapter 151 – Rain is Co
The rain fell down in droves, relentlessly striking the umbrellas
Ian tilted his umbrella and looked up at the sky A steady strearay sky Suddenly, the sound of music was heard fro it was, but it was sung by a faoodbye in a melancholy tone
Students ran splashi+ng through the water Ian’s feet et He looked down at his wet feet The neon signs were reflected on the surface of the puddles and the sound of laughter from distant children overlapped with the rain
Ian shook his head
Glooood
Ian tried to clear his mind
“What are you doing? You look hts He looked back and saw Yiyu She was s at him from under her colorful umbrella
“hello…”
Yiyu ith Yoon Bora Yoon Bora boardly as Ian greeted her lightly
“Was Oppa waiting long?”
“Yes I waited a long time”
“Well, that ht be the case Bora was the one who ht?”
“No, you…”
“Right”
“Hey! Oppa, Yiyu is falsely bla me”
“Be quiet”
Ian slanced at the two of them and asked, “Okay, what do you want to eat?”
“I was thinking about it I got over 900 points, so shouldn’t it be 90,000 won per person?”
“……”
“Didn’t you say don’t worry about the price?”
Yoon Bora poked Yiyu’s side, who shrugged
Today was the day when Yiyu received her TOEIC score On the day of the exaot the score that she was aiet score was quite high so he internally thought it would be difficult But she was quite good at languages and eventually got the score she was ai for Yoon Bora, who took the test with her, decided to accompany her
Ian so somewhere expensive At least 90,000 won”
“Uh…um…”
She didn’t know a place that was so expensive How could a student living off pocket money suddenly think about expensive food? At best, only the tuna that Han Yeori liked ca raw fish when it was raining
“So…” Yiyu looked at Yoon Bora, as if urging her to say so But Yoon Bora shook her head She didn’t know anything about expensive food
Yiyu struggled for aher mouth, “B-Beef?”
“……”
Ian looked at her with raised eyebrows
“W-What?”
“Just follow o?”
“No Everything is good Oh, if you just…”
“Is that so?”
“Ah, where are we going?!” Yiyu cried out impatiently
“You just have to follow me” Ian led them as he headed to the restaurant that he ate at with Ji Hayeon He hadn’t driven his car so they took a taxi The employees remembered him from when he came with Ji Hayeon and treated him deferentially
Ian refused to be served directly by the er An employee escorted him to a private room Ian naturally ordered the course dishes
Various dishes caed at hihed at jokes
Then a voice popped into Ian’s head
‘Viva Alaste!’
The lively laughter of Alaste was overlaid over Yiyu and Yoon Bora’s voices He recalled the shrimp dish that had been served to him by Alaste’s best chef The sweet and sour taste of the shri him with a bucket of shrimp shells
“Oppa?”
“Huh?”
“Are you okay? You don’t look good”
“I’m just a little tired”
He s their conversation, Ian frowned
It was rare for hiht of the things he had done was so heavy it was difficult for him to raise his head Therefore, he decided to look ahead instead of dwelling on it
However, today his thoughts turned towards the past
Why?
Vigo’s face as he laughed and bragged about Alaste entered Ian’s mind When he closed his eyes to shake it off, he could see the barbecue ribs cooked at the festival The people shared the barbecue with him and praised him as a hero
Now they were no longer there Everyone he knew in Alaste had died
That fact weighed on his from a real world Ian suppressed his emotions Death was one-sided and couldn’t be reversed
Ian closed his eyes, feeling both grief and regret He had been too naive If he had stayed a little longer in Alaste, he could’ve stopped the else until he pulled out the seed of the Heaven and Earth Clan
Regret led to a more distant past A memory from a previous battlefield came to mind The faces of those he couldn’t see anymore
“Oppa?”
“Wait” Ian stood up His face was pale “I need to quickly go to the bathroom”
“Uhh…”
Ian opened the door and left The er was surprised at Ian’s complexion Ian just smiled and left the restaurant
It was still raining Ian leaned his head against the wall of the building The landscape of the world melted into the rain
“Why…?”
Even if he closed his eyes, he couldn’t erase their faces in the darkness Ian stared at the street through blurry eyes He reh sadness at their funerals, so there was no reason to be shaken now
