Chapter 35 (Continued)
The moist air brushed her skin.
Soon, Woo-jin, drying his hair with a towel, came into Baek-seo’s view.
Baek-seo swallowed a gasp as Woo-jin’s bare skin filled her sight.
A moment of silence followed.
Woo-jin glanced down at his body.
Whoosh!
He quickly kicked off the ground and dove into the nearest room.
Thud! The sound of Woo-jin’s hitting the floor echoed.
“Oh my....”
Baek-seo unconsciously let out a soft exclamation.
For a while, she couldn’t move.
No matter how composed Baek-seo was, it was difficult to stay calm. After all, she was just a girl who hadn’t satisfied her sexual curiosity. She could barely manage her expression.
“......”
Baek-seo covered her mouth.
Ironically, the sight of Woo-jin’s naked body blew away Baek-seo’s worries and occupied her mind.
***
“Kim Dalbi left a letter stating that ‘one of the Six Sinners is hiding in Ahsung High School as a student’.... Is that right?”
Ahn Woo-jin and Oh Baek-seo, both wearing aprons, were preparing the groceries they had bought together. Woo-jin summarized Baek-seo’s conversation.
In truth, it was more a recount than a summary.
Baek-seo nodded.
“And the letter burned up.”
Woo-jin believed the information was true.
‘So the Six Sinner appearing next... wasn’t about breaking through Ahsung High School’s security, but being a student from the start?’
It was a hypothesis he had considered before, but without clues, he couldn’t be sure.
Thanks to Dalbi’s letter, that hypothesis gained weight.
‘Although there’s no confirmation yet, it seems reasonable to consider that possibility seriously. ...I’ll have to find the suspect during the practical evaluation.’
The Six Sinner would likely appear during the practical evaluation.
However, he wouldn’t cancel the evaluation. There was no telling when or how the Six Sinner would strike again if not then. The risk would increase absurdly.
Therefore, it would be best to identify and capture the suspect during the evaluation. Catching them before then would be ideal.
‘But....’
Woo-jin looked at Baek-seo.
“Why did you go alone?”
He couldn’t understand.
Despite sensing Dalbi’s presence, she went alone without informing him.
“You’re too close....”
She barely managed to express her desire for him to step back, and Woo-jin interpreted it that way.
However, Baek-seo’s true intention wasn’t properly conveyed.
‘...Could it be that she’s distancing herself because I scolded her?’
Or is there an unspeakable reason?
Various worries sprouted in Woo-jin’s mind.
He couldn’t let the situation pass like this.
Woo-jin decided not to comply with Baek-seo’s request to distance himself.
“Baek-seo.”
Woo-jin grabbed her shoulders to prevent her from running away.
Baek-seo flinched.
Staring into her eyes, Woo-jin saw her struggling to keep a smile while blushing.
Woo-jin spoke in a serious tone.
“If there’s something uncomfortable, tell me.”
This physical contact is uncomfortable.
“Honestly, did something happen?”
I saw your naked body and everything.
“...Woo-jin?”
Finally, Baek-seo addressed him by his name instead of ‘Leader,’ a clear sign of pressure.
Baek-seo began to smile gently, but her voice trembled.
“I feel embarrassed today. Could you give me some space?”
“.......”
“.......”
“...Ah.”
After Baek-seo confessed her honest feelings, Woo-jin understood the situation.
The heavy atmosphere became awkward.
After that, they pretended to have a natural conversation while eating curry together.
“Goodnight.”
“Goodnight....”
After Baek-seo left, Woo-jin stood at the entrance.
‘My presence....’
It had lessened.
“Ugh....”
Feelings of shame and doubt swept over him sequentially.
Woo-jin felt heat rise in his head, covered his face with his hands, and sighed.@@@@
