Peace of mind

It was hard to come after hitting Sarah who had been wiping for a long time because she wasn't going to see her. I made a steamed rib that I haven't tried, but it makes me feel good to feed it, but it's the next day, so I roast the field again.

I'd rather go with you than be suspicious. I couldn't take Sarah with me because of the text that I asked her to come alone. Someone wants to contact me, so I just say it's a no-no number.

"A trap?"

In the middle of Seoul, in a hotel over 100 floors? If it's a trap, it's a trap without a fancy mate. I was guided by the lobby of Lotte Tower, where I had never come to play, and I thought about it in the elevator.

Maybe it's really a trap. I didn't worry too much. Rather, I wondered what kind of a trap he was. It may be too arrogant, but there was no one in the world who could trap Baek Hyun in a place other than Abyss.

“This is it.”

The escorted hotel boy looked at Baek Hyun in front of a large visit and bowed his head. When I got here, I asked a few times who was staying, but I only heard a ritual answer that I couldn't give you information about the guests.

‘I'll see you soon anyway. ’

Maybe you should give me a tip. I just thought about it and didn't take my wallet out. There was no cash, and there was little rebuttal for not answering the question. And first of all, it was a pity. Though money has been piled up to rot in the casket, the mind of Baek Hyun remains largely unchanged from the old days of censorship.

The hotel boy is back.

Baek Hyun looked at the door for a while. Phone number that was not saved. However, I feel a 'pivot’. The party that sent the text was the one that Baek Hyun knew.

“Huh.”

Honestly, I was doubtful and embarrassed. I never thought I'd meet like this. However, it is also funny to go back as long as you have come this far.

I didn't even want to. Lift your finger and press the bell. A little while later, I heard the sound of ‘choking’ at the door. There is no popularity beyond the door. Slightly turned around, the door opened.

It's a suite. It wasn't that big. Guess it's the view and the location. The whole room was decorated like a hanok, and there was an awkward view of the glass window.

In front of it. Someone was sitting back. There was an expensive bottle of whiskey, ice, and two glasses on the table next to it, so that it would not fit into a Hanok decorated room.

“You're late.”

“Wonderful.”

I spoke to each other instead of greeting each other.

Drave turns his head and looks at Baek Hyun.

“I was worried about getting hurt, but I'm glad it looks okay. ”

“I just got better. ”

Feeling suspicious and embarrassed is inevitable. It's the first time I've met Drave since Santorini. It's not intimate enough to meet in private. Rather, it had to be seen that there had been a complete twist between Baek Hyun and Drave since Santorini.

‘Cause I threw it away with my foot. ’

He added that it wasn't because of bad feelings, but from Drave's point of view, it was nothing more than a big hit. Besides, he said he didn't have any bad feelings, but Drave wasn't really fighting, he was sneaking around and looking at the situation.

‘I thought I was going to hit my back. ’

Now that I know that Pure Saint has properly gripped the back of the Black Rose Queen, it must be true that Drave was trying to grind the back of her head in the future as Wikipedia showed him.

“Well, thank goodness. ”

Unaware of Baek Hyun's thoughts, Drave said with a compassionate smile.

“Are you here to worry about me? ”

“No, it's not. If I needed it, I would have given you God's grace without hesitation. ”

Baek Hyun openly turned into a nosebleed. But Drave maintained a smiling face with no unpleasant color.

“I'm glad it didn't happen. I'm a little healthy. I don't have a cold. ”

“Isn't that God's blessing, too? ”

I answer with a serious expression even when I spit without thinking. Then I lifted up the whiskey and followed him to the white wine cup.

“I didn't say drink. ”

“It's too late to ask. It's a good drink, don't you like it? ”

“Did you call for a drink? ”

Baek Hyun asked me that without giving me one glance at the drink.

“As I told you about the main hotel, there's a reason I asked you to come alone. Do you want a drink with me? Without even knowing who you are. ”

“If I had known who I was, I wouldn't have come. ”

Drave raises his tail slightly and asks. Baek Hyun nods, bursting into laughter.

“Exactly. You wouldn't be here. I didn't want to sit alone with a man in a hotel room. ”

“Is that all you got? ”

I was thankful for the tails I was raising. Previously, smiles seemed nice to a real person, but just a little bit of a mouthful of tails makes me feel uncomfortable and obnoxious.

‘That's the nature of it. ’

I shrugged while thinking about it.

“What do you want to ask me? You know we're not that close. Or was it just me? ”

“Santorini's work is not in my mind. ”

“Oh, my God, you look so full of heart. I don't even remember what happened between us in Santorini. ”

Of course it's a lie. It was an open provocation, and I wanted to see Drave's emotional changes. But Drave's expression hasn't changed.

“Do you hate me? ”

You know, sticking to your vague-looking face. Unlike before, I asked a straightforward question.

“Neither good nor bad. ”

Baek Hyun replied without avoiding the gaze.

“I don't know what's going to happen, but I do now. What about you?”

Drave laughed without answering. Instead, he lifted his glass and shook it lightly. The ice hits and rolls in the glass.

“I know it's an awkward encounter. It's my seat. I knew there was some misunderstanding, and I wanted to get rid of that misunderstanding by drinking together, if possible. ”

“Most people who get to know each other at a bar get awkward the next day. ”

“Maybe so. Don't you get to know each other too well at the time of drinking? ”

“You've been avoiding words ever since. When are you going to answer my question? ”

Baek Hyun looks at his drinking cup, which is still on the table.

“Why did you call me when you said to come alone? If you're not gonna say anything, you can just go, right? ”

“I just thought the shape was bad. ”

“I'm fine, so please pick it up. ”

“Have you met the Black Rose Queen? ”

After a sip of whiskey, Drave drops the glass. At the end of the day, Baek Hyun laughed. The obvious question. Of all the recent acts of Baek Hyun, only Pure Saint cares about the Black Rose or the Black Rose Queen.

“I haven't met him. ”

“I haven't been out of Abyss in a month. Isn't it stuck in a wilderness that's pretty far from the residential area to the east? ”

“You're creepy enough to know. Are you my stalker or are you sticking your tail out of my sight? I don't think so. ”

Baek Hyun even broke into Herusha's hideout, the preliminary apostle of the owner of the barracks. There is no human being who can completely follow the senses of Baek Hyun.

“What were you doing on that mountain? ”

“Camping.”

“You've met the Black Rose Queen. ”

“I don't know why you care. What, are you going to pick up the pretense because you're rude enough to ask questions? ”

I cracked a glass without even touching it. Whiskey dripping through the cracks dampened the table.

“You're already convinced of what I did in your head, and you're ignoring my answer and trying to fit my words into your mind. ”

“I just don't like lying. ”

“It doesn't start with pushing a lie. On a subject I don't even know what I did. ”

Baek Hyun twists his leg while smiling. He gave the bracelet filled with his left hand a glance.

“Yeah, but it's a lie. Have you met the Black Rose Queen? But why?”

There was no follow-up and surveillance. While traveling to the Black Rose territory, I used artifacts to change my face, avoid people's gaze, and always care about my surroundings. Nevertheless, Drave knows that Baek Hyun went east. I also know I haven't been out of there in a month.

The Bureau is the only one who can confirm that. Everyone who becomes a hunter through the formal procedure is compelled by the Administration to wear this splashy bracelet at all times.

“When I meet the Black Rose Queen. Is there something wrong? ”

“... the black rose queen is a savage and evil creature. The god I serve must have told you before. ”

“That was Pure St. 's position. I didn't want to think it was bad because I only heard one thing that I had never met. ”

“Isn't that evil proven by being the Demon King? ”

“That seems too generalized. I'm not a demon king in this world, but they're bad guys, aren't they? ”

“What did you hear from the Black Rose Queen? ”

“The old story. ”

Baek Hyun laughed.

“Why, because you want to hear it too? Then there's nothing I can't tell you. Unless you've heard the truth from Pure St. ”

Drave's lips were sealed.

“Heard you killed all the hunters you promised the Black Rose Queen. ”

“Leaving those who have made promises to the Demon King can only confuse the world. ”

“Did they do something wrong? ”

“Everyone lives in sin. Those who contract with the Demon King will commit a greater sin. ”

“I didn't build it at the time. And you're human, too. ”

“I am also a sinner. It's blood on your hands for what you've done. ”

“Did you know that Pure St. betrayed the Black Rose Queen? ”

“What's wrong with trying to kill the evil king? ”

One day, Drave's smile was gone. In response, Baek Hyun burst into laughter.

“Faith is convenient. The logic is that no matter what you do, you're innocent of Pure St. ”

“God is not omnipotent in flaws. ”

A spicy gaze shoots Baek Hyun.

“But even that flaw is part of God, and man must not dare to judge. ”

Sir, I read about the kite. When he hears about Pure Saint against Drave who has blind faith, he is never persuaded.

‘I'm not persuaded in the first place. ’

I knew that faith was real, not pretence.

“Did you just come all the way here to bury it? ”

“... before. ”

Drave raises his hand. The hand turned toward the glass between the cracks, which was in front of Baek Hyun. Pasak! As he held his hand lightly, the glass collapsed into fine powder and the whisky and ice inside evaporated in an instant.

“You asked me. Do they hate you?”

“I did.”

“Yes, I don't. ”

The voice was silent. Lips that mostly held laughter are also dull. Only the pupil had a definite emotion in his expression.

Full of hatred and contempt.

“I hate you being human and challenging God. I hate that you don't use that power for God even though you have great power. Perforation had to be dedicated to God. I don't like you for taking that commodity. I hate you for doubting God's righteousness and interacting with evil and evil creatures, including the Demon King. I don't like you doubting God. I hate you for not believing in God. ”

He shoots like a quickie without breathing. He said he didn't like it for a variety of reasons, but it was all about God.

“If God had given me permission, I would have killed you without hesitation. ”

Blatant hatred and contempt. All of them were mixed up and became flesh. Drave, who put down the pretense, reveals it to Baek Hyun without hiding him.

“Can you do that? ”

Baek Hyun smiled and asked. Drave's teeth engaged and sounded.

“... God does not wish for your death. ”

Drave spoke slowly.

“That's why I'm here. I really don't want to, because God wants him to be with me wherever I sit. I'm also swallowing the air you breathe out of this room. It's also good to laugh at convulsions and talk to you. Let go of this, let go of the booze. Drinking misunderstanding with you... misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding. And yet, all that talk. Because God wants you. ”

“What did I tell you? ”

Baek Hyun smiled, digging deeply into the fluffy couch.

“I don't like you, I don't hate you. ”

“It's changing in the future. Did I hate it?”

“No, I'm better. ”

Baek Hyun said with both hands on his thighs.

“I hate me, and I really like someone who's trying to kill me. ”

“... why? ”

“That way you'll be able to kill yourself. ”

You don't have to hesitate or regret that kind of opponent.

I have no choice but to like it
