The long I watch Gong PIldu's armed zone, the greater admiration raises for the skill he posses.
'He's the like the lateral interpretation of a camper'
'But hey this is working'
Jokes aside, if he is developed properly, his ability can be very useful against holding back waves or stalling.
'mm, he got potential....'but those are distant talks.
'He was wasting much of his bullets.'
Sigh~
Gong Pildu is agitated. He is firing randomly, causing a lot of his magic bullets hit non-vital areas.
"It is a really tremendous stigma. Is it okay when the magic power consumption is so big?"
Lee Hyunsung spoke with admiration. He hit the nail on the crucial point.
My head turns to the big guy.
'not as dum.... simple as he seems'
"It is a good stigma so it will be okay for a while." Kim Dojka answers without looking up from the first floor.
A guilty look has spread across Lee Hyunsung's face, "Should we help…?"
"Gong Pildu alone is sufficient. If we do down then he will be distracted and stop shooting." Kim Dojka replied as he finally walked away from the ledge. He sat against with his back against a wall as he stretched out his legs. "We will be sucking honey for a while." says Kim Dojka.
My head tilted unconsciously. His sudden nonchalant attitude puzzled me. Out of thin air he brought a Honey jar and began distributing the honey to his companions.
...
'wow'
is it.... it is thicker and glossy than the store bought honey'
I quickly scan the system interface
'no, there is no honey..... so not from here?'
I squint my eyes trying to make out the brand the honey is from.
Amides of distributing the honey to his companions he notices me staring hard at the honey jar.
"Here"
he extended a honey dipper toward me with a bright smile.
'why are you giving honey to me?'
My brows knit together trying to think what this prophet is trying to do.
I wasn't the only one, Lee Jihye's face scrunched up, unable to make sense of Kim Dojka's buzzer attitude.
GULP! Sniff
My head turns slightly to my left.
Shin Yoosung's shinning eyes are starring intensely at the honey jar. It looked like she was trying hard to hold back her droll from falling and failed. Noticing me looking at her, she quickly pretended to look else where.
"here~ take it" Noticing the reluctance from us, Jung Heewon stepped forward. "it's really top stuff you know"
she said as she took another lick.
"Relax~ it's not like it's poi-" Jung Heewon quickly snapped her neck toward Kim Dojka, " -son ....right?"
Kim Dojka laughed
"who knows?" Kim answered joking with his arms above his head. But noticing how Jung Heewon's face pale
"...no of course not." Kim Dojka said while chuckling.
he locked eyes with me.
'how much can I trust him?'
On one hand he maybe a prophet but on the other hand....
My eyes also fell to the honey...
the slow dripping of the honey of the dipper to the floor.
"..."
Sigh...
"We're having honey."
My instinct seem to say it's okay so I don't think I need to worry.
"ya-" Shin Yoosung quickly puts her hand on her mouth.
"ha-ha ha" all us couldn't help but laugh at her innocence. Shin Yoosung looked startled being the center of all the focus.
Unbeknownst to all, along the laugh, the tension among us had lessened. Everyone started to relax one by one.
Jung Heewon's eyes darting between me and Kim Dojka.
"So.....no hard feelings?"
One on my brows raised a her question.
Kim Dojka's lips tilted into an uneven smile. He answered, "..No...hopefully not." as he finishes he looks at me.
I shrugged my shoulders, Lips pursed "Depends...."
The corner of Jung Heewon's mouth twitched slightly. Her thoughtful gaze hovering over us. Slowly her expression went blank before she raised her arms in the air.
"that's enough for me" she said with a sheepish smile.
"mmm~" She stretched her arms above head before bringing them in front of her.
"I didn't get enough sleep… I will sleep now, kay?" She asked Kim Dojka.
"sure." Kim Dojka answered almost immediately.
10 minutes later,
Jung Heewon was lying on the ground, limbs relaxed as drool rolled down the side of her face.
My face morphed into a thoughtful frown.
'Doesn't she sleep too easily?'
I squint my eyes towards Kim Dojka. He was equally puzzled.
In response to my stare his face twisted into something that read 'don't ask me, I am also surprised'
...
Almost third of an hour has passed. Shin Yoosung has just fall asleep. She was embracing her tamed beasts.
And about my other party member...
Lee Jihye was giggling like a little girl while watching Gong Pildu struggle at the bottom floor. 'wasn't she the one who wanted to save them....'
I shift my eyes to Kim Dojka.
For the past 15 minutes - he's been scratching his chin, staring at a flickering phone screen with a frown in his face.
'I usually used to read about mobile addiction, but....this intense'
pweuh
'this is another level.'
Occasionally his eyes widen as he stares at a fizzing mobile screen, then frown. I was about to look away but the curiosity got the better of me.
I take micro steps to get a better look.
'what is he reading so inte-'
texts
Documen- no a ...novel chapter? I focus more.
As I read, the text felt more addictive.
Suddenly a sharp spark jolts through my skull.
"ugh"
I clutch my forehead with one hand
'wait, what did I ?'
I try to look at the screen again
[Exclusive attribute foreigner is shaken]
Drip
An unbearable pain rang though my mind.
...
"@#@#$"
Someone had wrapped their arms around me.
Lee Jihye
"Wha-at happened?" Yoo Sangah was near me.
Kim Dojka was also staring towards me.
"I-I don't know....say something" I hear silhouette of Lee Jihye's voice.
"Lee Jihye, ... gently-"Suggested Yoo Sangah
?
why am I on the ground?
My body felt limp.
Yoo Sangah hands a handkerchief to Lee Jihye. She dripped water on it before bring it closer to me.
'@$@# why are-'
Red? -blood?
It took me a second to get a feel of my balance.
"what's happening... how?"
I try to get up instinctively but Lee Jihye held me down tightly. Her red eyes filled with worry stared at me. At the combined insistence of Yoo sangah and Lee Jihye I give up and got back down.
"drink some water" I look at the water bottle then at the Yoo Sangah.. "... wait .. let me help me" Seeing me not unresponsive, Yoo sangah unscrew the cap and tried to gently feed me.
I look at her brown eyes, one looking at me with care as she feed me the water.
'I understood if Lee Jihye cares but why you?'
"Your... too kind" I couldn't help but comment.
She shoulders flinched slightly. In seconds her expression shift from shock to a warm smile. She shook her head. "No I am not." Yoo Sangah shook her head in denial.
'...how weird... your weird'
I couldn't help but look at her with bewilder.
I look away from her to Lee Jihye. Then look behind her at others gathered.
Frown.
Kim Dojka walked closer. "are you okay?"
"..."
"what happened?" I ask
I felt confuse-
'ugh'
Lee Jihye closed in again. I quickly pat her shoulders, trying to signal it's fine.
My eyes drifted to the phone in Kim Dojka's hand.
"how are you feeling, what happened?" asked Lee Hyunsung
I shook my head.
"I....don't know. I was just fine then....."
Only now I notice, Shin Yoosung.
She was staring with her hands in front of her chest, face scrunched in worry. Lee Jihye's eyes stared at me hard. Suddenly her eyes widen as if she came to a realization.
For some reason Lee Jihye wore a face filled with guilty.
I notice Kim Dojka having a frown on his face.
"now.. I guess I am okay I-"
As I try to get up halfway Lee Jihye's hand pushed down hard on my shoulder.
I look at her with confusion.
Her eyes redden for some reason as her eyes fluttered more then they would normally.
"Sit"
"hey I am-"
"SIT!" Lee Jihye suddenly screamed. "please"
She slowly set my head on her lap again.
Lee Jihye asked, "hey.....you don't need to act like your alright"
She stared at my eyes, her shoulders shook with each words.
"I-"
"No you're not" Lee Jihye cuts me off.
"you made us sleep everyday. I can't recall, how long have you slept?"
My expression crumbled at her out of no where question about sleep,
"Where did that come from?"
"I asked how long?" she suddenly puts her other hand on my shoulder.
Gulp.
'why do I feel like a child caught by his mother caught for not sleeping'
She continued , "I don't think you slept at all"
"he-hey I d-"
"Stop!"
"just stop"
I stare at her bewildered. why is she suddenly being weird.
"hey, I am fine... I amount I slept is en-"
"no its not about that...." tears dripped on to my face "...if you're feeling weak, bad tell us. Don't just push till you collapse..."
I stare at her in silence. I know the problem isn't with sleep....or is it?
I couldn't help but give a couple of glances to that phone.
"..."
I gentle wipe the tears and brush a hand over her head.
I spoke in the gentle voice I could, "...Sorry to worry you. I am really feeling okay now."
Her frustrated eyes locked in to mine.
leaps open, her shoulders jerked as she opened her mouth to say something but I put my index on her mouth.
"Let the chaos settle....please?"
The sound of her gritting her teeth was audible because of how close she was to me.
She sighed in displeasure
"...fine"
I get up slowly.
Lee Jihye walked a bit far away then plopped down like her strengthened were drained from her legs.
I turn toward Shin Yoosung.
Her small frame slouched shoulders with her looking at the floor made her more small.
"Shin Yoosung"
She looked up from the floor.
her face was filled with guilt.
"I-I-"
"Not the again" I pull her into a hug. "It's nothing serious, I am completely fine."
"...are you-"
"YEAH look at me"
I cup her face, lifting her gaze to my eyes.
"Quite worrying, I am fine" I gave her a confident smile.
She just nods
After bit more of chat and hug I lay her down with her tame beasts again.
"They were very worried for you" said Yoo Sangah
I nod.
"I know its a pandemonium....but take care of yourself as well"
My eyes sets on her face, her smile without malice.
"..."
"I will try"
"..."
"can you tell me what happened? I am kind of lost"
Yoo Sangah explained that suddenly I feel down while clutching my head. How my face was pale and blood pouring out my nose.
"what? its...you not?" I wanted to say she's exaggerating but her face said otherwise.
"..."
"thank you"
She just shook her head.
Not taking even 3 steps away from Yoo Sangah she asks,
"are you really okay?"
I slowly nod.
She looked at me carefully.
"Call me immediately if you feel off"
Nod
watching her leave, Lee Hyunsung and Lee Gilyoung asked if I am feeling better now and backed away.
That left only Kim Dojka and Me.
"I gathered quite the commotion"
"no at all" Kim Dojka with a soft smile shook his head, "Are you really alright?"
My chest shoulders rose and fell
"...I think so"
Kim Dojka nods.
I look at Shin Yoosung. I felt a sting in my heart.
sigh
'again'
As I scan the surrounding, an individual caught my eyes.
Jung Heewon
She slept in peace, occasionally snoring.
"...heavy sleeper isn't she?" I joke
Kim Dojka followed my gaze before he too laughed
"....you could catch a bit of sleep"
I look at him with a smile before shaking my head.
"Thanks for worrying"
