“……Dahee-senpai?”
I asked, guided by an uneasy intuition.
But Lia had clearly told me that Seo Da-hee hadn’t regained her memories yet…
In that instant, a flash of realization struck through my mind.
W e b̄nо v̈е̂l̄ Ё nu m̂ â
What if Lia had lied to me for some reason?
The very thought of it sent a chill through my head, freezing my thoughts in place.

Seo Da-hee had regained her memories—
and Lia hadn’t told me about it?
Even though I had repeatedly begged her to tell me everything about Da-hee?
Anger surged from within, yet strangely enough, it made my mind colder, calmer.
W еb̊n̄o ṽ е l̂ Ěṅu mа̀
First things first—I needed to understand what was going on.
I looked at her.
Seo Da-hee was shedding tears like a broken faucet, endlessly.
It seemed the two of them were having a conversation through their inner link.

I quietly waited for the two to finish.
Soon, she stopped crying, wiped her tears, and slowly lifted her head.

Black pupils.
That meant Seo Da-hee had taken control of her body.
Then, her gaze turned toward me.
“……”
A short silence—just a second, yet it felt like an hour—passed before she forced a faint, awkward smile and opened her mouth.
“Hi……?”

The casual greeting made my chest tighten painfully.
Just from hearing her voice, I knew.
She had already regained her memories.
And likely quite some time ago.
That trembling yet composed tone, as if she had long sorted out her thoughts, was proof enough.
I replied to her greeting.

“It’s been a while.”
“Yeah, it really has.”

After that brief exchange, silence once again filled the air between us.
It was such a suffocating silence that I had to break it first.
“Don’t you have something to say to me……?”
“……”
Ё n úm а̌ .іd.
At that question, she shut her mouth.
But I knew she wasn’t silent because she had nothing to say.
She was probably suppressing a storm of emotions inside.
Honestly, I wished she would just unleash it all—her anger, her resentment.

If all her hatred were directed at me, it would be better that way.
“You don’t have to hold it in. I know full well the sins I’ve committed.”
Ẇ ė b́ǹ o vе l̈ Е̂ n̄ üm а
At those words, Seo Da-hee slowly began walking toward me.
Was that her answer—that she’d speak through actions rather than words?
I quietly closed my eyes and waited.
I would accept her resentment, whatever form it took.
No matter the reason, my sins wouldn’t vanish.
Even if she stabbed my heart with a blade, I would accept it.

A wound from a knife could easily be healed by the Power of Restoration.
Seo Da-hee was the most important card in defeating Berid.
Her potential was limitless.
That was why, first and foremost, I had to earn her forgiveness.
Seo Da-hee couldn’t understand why she had cried.
No, perhaps she had a vague idea.

There were too many emotions tangled inside her toward Yoo Seongwoo—so much that words couldn’t form, and tears came out first.
Affection, hatred, pity, resentment, betrayal.

Each one was heavy and deep.
Seo Da-hee looked at Yoo Seongwoo.
He was waiting for her with his eyes closed.
From his posture alone, she could tell—
Ẃ е b̀n оṽ е l Еñ u ṁа
Yoo Seongwoo had sensed that she had regained her memories.
‘I really didn’t want him to find out like this.’
A faint sense of embarrassment welled up inside her.
When she had first decided to tell him she remembered, she had imagined countless scenarios.

Yelling at him in resentment.
Maybe forgiving him, acknowledging that he had at least tried to save her.

Or simply disappearing without a word.
But this? Crying her eyes out in the middle of eating kimchi stew?
She must have looked like a lunatic.
Among all those possible outcomes, this was certainly the most pathetic one.
She had wanted to talk to him as if it were nothing serious.
Like greeting a junior who had just entered the Student Council office.

Seo Da-hee looked at Yoo Seongwoo once more.
He was waiting for her quietly, as if he would accept whatever choice she made.
What did she want to do to him? What did she not want to do?
‘Resentment… could I even feel that?’
Seo Da-hee couldn’t bring herself to resent him.
From the start, her anger was misdirected.
Е ñ ü.m.а̀ .і̀d
Her betrayal, and Yoo Seongwoo’s betrayal—both were the fault of Pandemonium and Berid.
He was a victim too. And from Lia, she had already learned the weight of the burden he carried.

Seo Da-hee placed her hand on his forehead.
Then, with a light flick, she tapped it.
A sharp tap sound echoed softly.
His gently closed eyes opened cautiously.

“Stop being pathetic. I can’t forgive you… but I heard everything.”
“Excuse me?”
“About Berid, about Pandemonium. I know your past too.”
“Lia.”

Yoo Seongwoo sighed as he listened to her words.
A moment ago, the thought that Lia had leaked information had made him furious.
Е̄n ùm̌ а̄
But now, he didn’t have the energy to stay angry.
Just sorting out things with Seo Da-hee and talking it through was already overwhelming.
After all, when he betrayed her, it was the first time since his possession that he had practically killed someone.
Because he had inherited the memories of someone whose hands were already soaked in blood, he had barely managed to endure it—but ambushing and killing the very person who had openly shown affection for him could never have been easy.
The memory of that moment still lingered within Seongwoo like a brand, endlessly tormenting him.
That was why he had left Seo Da-hee in Lia’s care and used “keeping in touch” as an excuse to avoid facing her again.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He had run away.
Because even the thought of appearing before her—before the Da-hee who had lost her memories—terrified him.
Seo Da-hee could not fully understand Yoo Seongwoo’s circumstances.
All she knew was that Lia, who was connected to him—and her own heart, which was connected to Lia—
merely conveyed Seongwoo’s silent anguish.
So, without a word, Seo Da-hee approached Yoo Seongwoo, gently patting his head as if to say everything was fine.
Е n ǔ m̆ӑ .і̄d̈
His hair slipped softly between her fingers.
Then she spoke the words she had been holding inside ever since she regained her memories.

Words she couldn’t bring herself to say before—because she hadn’t had the courage.
But now, she felt she could.
“You’ve been through a lot until now, haven’t you?”
“……”
Е̂n̊ um ӑ
She fought desperately to hold back her tears.
She had already cried so pitifully once before; she didn’t want to cry again.
She wanted to show him the composure of a senior.
Through her restrained gaze, she could see Yoo Seongwoo’s eyes welling up with tears.

“From now on, I’ll help you too.”
Seongwoo didn’t say a word. He simply nodded heavily.

An awkward silence filled the room.
We ate the now-cold kimchi stew without saying a word.
Only the occasional clinking of utensils broke the stillness.
Neither of us spoke.
We were both too embarrassed by the things we’d said to each other.
If this were a game, the screen would have faded to black right after her line about not resenting me, then returned to the gameplay.

But reality was different—what lingered now was only the unbearable awkwardness of having said something so cringeworthy.
Still, the silence between us no longer felt as heavy or slow as before.
Even if it was embarrassing, even if it made me squirm, every word she’d spoken had lightened the weight in my heart, even just a little.
I couldn’t erase all of my guilt, but her sincerity reached me warmly.
Could I really tell her to resent me now, after all this?
Even if we could never go back to how things were before—

through this, I had gained a powerful ally who shared the same enemy.
Now, all I had to do was entrust her with the plans I had prepared.

Just as I was sorting out my upcoming schedule, Seo Da-hee broke the awkward silence.
“This kimchi stew’s really good.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re really good at cooking, huh?”
Е̂_n̆ü m̈.a
“I’ve been doing it since way back.”
Another awkward silence followed.
We simply looked at each other without a word.
Damn it. Talking with Lia was easier than this.

Then I suddenly remembered something I’d forgotten.
While things with Seo Da-hee had been settled—we were now allies and comrades against a common enemy—there was still something I needed to discuss with Lia.

“Senpai.”
“Yeah?”
“Could you call Lia out for a moment?”
At that, she seemed to realize something and began to defend Lia.
“Lia only told me about you because I asked her to. It was all for your sake……”
So she’s trying desperately to protect Lia, huh?

“Tell her it’s fine—I’m not going to scold her. Just ask her to come out.”
“Mm…….”
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her pupils had turned grayish-white.
“D-Did you call for me, Husband?”
Her eyes darted around guiltily, refusing to meet mine.
I tapped my finger on the desk, pondering how to deal with her.
Еn u m̄å
In the end, things had turned out well—but that had been pure luck.
What if Lia’s words had ruined everything?

What if something like this happened again during an even more crucial moment?
To prevent such risks, I had to discipline her for disobeying orders, regardless of the outcome.
“Husband……”
At that moment, I noticed Lia’s nervous expression.
Ӗ ń ŭ mа̌ . i̇ ḋ
Phew.
Still, I couldn’t deny that things had gone smoothly thanks to her.
I raised my hand lightly and flicked her forehead.
Smack!

“Kkuek!”
“I have a lot to say, but let’s leave it at that.”

Lia rolled on the floor, clutching her forehead, tears welling up in her eyes.
“It hurts!”
“I know you meant well—for both me and Da-hee-senpai—but you can’t just talk about other people’s matters without permission, understood?”
“Uuugh……”
Sniffling from pain, Lia muttered a reply.
Then her pupils darkened again—

and she glared at me.
“Seongwoo… your hands sting like hell.”
“Ah.”
Right. I’d forgotten that Lia and Seo Da-hee shared sensations.
“Uh… should I let you hit me back?”
And thus, the night I gained a new ally quietly came to an end.

After meeting with Seo Da-hee and Lia, I returned straight to the Academy.
Since curfew for weekend outings was 6 p.m., I had to be back before then.

Upon arriving, I collapsed onto my bed.
It had been a long day, but in the end, I had secured Seo Da-hee—the hidden card.
She would become the key piece in cornering Berid.
As I was deep in thought, my phone suddenly rang.
Е̇ n̊ u m̈ а
It was a call from Park Siwoo.
When I answered, his familiar voice came through.
[Hey, what are you up to?]
“I just got back and I’m resting for a bit.”

[You actually went out with a permit? The Academy’s got plenty of stores inside—why bother? How hardcore is this field trip prep supposed to be?]
“What are you talking about? What field trip?”

Something about the conversation felt off.
Park Siwoo must’ve noticed it too, because he asked,
[You didn’t go out today to prepare for tomorrow’s field trip?]
“No?”
[Then what about the preparations for it?]
“Do we really need to prepare for a field trip?”

“……Are you serious right now?”
Park Siwoo’s tone over the phone suddenly turned oddly serious.
