"Are you not hungry?" asked Ekidna, who was sitting next to her bed, gazing down at the rainfall.

The rain shook its head. "No, not much now. I didn't like it because you fed Seol-ah to her stomach.

There's no sense."

I answered while lying on the bed. Ekidna puffed her cheeks as if she didn't like the answer from the rain. 'No, I can eat more rainfall.' 'What do you mean, that's.'

What is that? You decide that. "Yeah! I brought a lot from the imperial kitchen."

Ekidna took out a pile of fruits that she had put down by her feet.

It was a terrible amount that made my stomach ache just by looking at it.

"No, I'm full."

"But I don't have a chance to feed it to Rain unless it's now."

Rain had been in bed for days, unable to budge due to the aftereffects of the "open door."

The party members were taking turns caring for the rainfall, which could not even move their arms and legs freely.

Ekidna began to cut fruit she had prepared with a harsh nose wind, thinking that she would not have the rare experience of feeding the rainfall herself if she missed this opportunity.

The fruit's skin, the size of the palm of the hand, was relentlessly plastered.

As if extracting the core of the fruit, the palm-sized fruit was reduced to the size of a little finger.

"No, what kind of fruit is that?

"Ro"

"I'm done cutting!"

'I really did shave it off,' I don't have anything left. Ekidna glistened her eyes and poured fruit into the mouth of the rainfall.

Since his arms and legs did not move, he avoided his head with his mouth firmly closed, but eventually he persistently pushed fruit into the mouth of the rainfall.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"Hehehe."

Ekidna laughed as if she was happy in the world.

Her smile felt somewhat eerie.

Eventually, the rainfall could not be freed from Ekidna until she had eaten all the fruit the size of a mountain she had brought.

Click, click.

"Little boy, it's shift time."

Perhaps it was time, the visit was held and the week came in.

Ekidna looked at the rain as if she was disappointed and took a strange posture toward Cha.

"Hi, how do you do?"

"...what?"

Cha looked at Ekidna with a sour look.

Ekidna pouted her lips and jerked her head.

'It's not fun to play.' 'No, what is it."

Cha Yeon-ju turned to Kangwoo as if she was unfair.

Rain also smiled awkwardly with an unknown expression. "Well, Kangwoo, I'll be back later."

Ekidna ran out past the two absentminded men.

The awkward air that went down with one thing lingered in the room.

"...what's wrong with him?"

"I don't know."

I guess it's puberty. "By the way, you look terrible. Mr. Oh Kang-woo."

Cha nudged the body of the rain lying on the bed.

'I've gone a little too far.' 'A little? Is that a bit?"

Cha Yeon-ju opened her eyes and stared at him.

"You're very good by yourself. Huh? What kind of folding screen are we?"

Rain smiled awkwardly.

It would be natural to hear this because the enemy was alone in the midst of a straight attack.

"Sigh."

Cha gave a deep sigh.

She bowed her head and soon opened her mouth in a low voice.

"...sorry."

Her fist was shaking her hand.

This is what she says, but she won't know either.

In the fight against a deified god, her

to the extent that somebody can't help. "Never mind. It's obvious."

He answered calmly.

The difference between himself and his other colleagues was stark.

Especially from the perspective of Cha Yeon-ju, it is not too much to say that she has the lowest power among his party members.

Simply put, she can't help.

I'd be glad I didn't bother you.

.....

Cha bowed his head with a gloomy face to see if he knew the truth well.

"I wasn't like this when we first met."

Cha said with a melancholy look.

When I first met him, I could fight with him.

I could stand side by side. But now, the rainfall has reached a point far beyond the reach of daring.

Far from standing side by side, it just became a load on my shoulder.

"I... should I just go back?"

Cha asked, touching a bracelet on her wrist.

His voice was not confident enough to be called Cha Yeon-ju.

The heavy rain grinned. 'Getting the mood.' 'What?'

"Well, that's all Bronz."

"You bastard!"

Cha Yeon-ju attacked him lying down with a fiery look.

He held the face of the rain with his hands and waved it back and forth.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"By the way, what happened to you and Seol A?"

with a shudder

The rain shook.

A cold sweat rolled down my body.

'What, what's going on?' 'Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Rain curled up in fear

It's cold.

Cha looked at the shivering rain with her mouth wide open.

What the hell?

What did you do? It was my first time seeing such a rainfall.

"Oh... well, take a break anyway."

Cha sat on the chair next to her bed with a sour look.

Hands on the forehead of a lying down rain

It's cold.

I stroked it slowly. "......what, all of a sudden."

"It's noisy."

Cha opened her eyes sharply and said,

Kang-woo smiled and felt her hands patting her head.

That's not bad.'

When the lioness, who always growls, comes out mildly, it feels different.

It was.

keep one's eyes closed and use one's head

Drum enjoyed the touch.

My eyes slowly closed.

"...well?"

I slowly opened my eyes. Darkness lay in the room. He moved his body carefully.

The numb limbs moved little by little.

Are you recovering?"

It was a good sign.

I still have a lot of work to do.

The rain still picked up by moving awkwardly moving arms and legs.

"Lie down a little longer, brother."

I heard a voice next to me.

Turning his head, he saw a young man with a bright appearance in the dark.

The heavy rain grinned.

"Is it your turn?"

"Yes, I just took a shift."

Kim Si-hoon nodded with a faint smile.

'Even if you don't have to do this.' 'No way. I'll stay with you at least until you feel better."

said in a determined voice

Rain turned his head, swallowing his saliva.

I can't believe you were cared for someone.

I feel something complicated.

"...... "

Kim Si-hoon sits still and lies in bed.

I gazed down at the heavy rain.

It's going to get through, dude.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Kang Woo turned his head away from Kim Si-hoon, who looked at him with a deep look.

Kim Si-hoon looked down at him quietly, and soon opened his mouth.

'It's been a long time since I've been standing here with you.' 'Really?'

"Yes. Long time no see."

Kim Si-hoon smiles and nods his head.

It was.

Then he looked up and stared at the ceiling for a moment. "...Before coming here, I met with Balock."

The hand with a firm fist trembled.

"You were very angry. To yourself."

"Brother."

Kim bit his lips and asked.

"I sometimes think that."

"What are you thinking?"

"If I hadn't met you... I wonder what happened."

It was a voice that felt somewhat faint.

Rain answered calmly.

"It wouldn't have made much difference."

I felt honest. Kim Si-hoon's talent has already been verified. Even if he wasn't confident, he would have smashed the terrible environment of standing up alone and oppressing him.

'Rather.

Because I was there.

Because I forced him into a private horse.

Kim might not have gotten what he deserved.

"...well."

Kim Si-hoon shook his head slowly. "It's hard for me to imagine a life without you now."

What are you saying?

"Brother."

Kim Si-hoon slowly reached out.

I took the hand of the rain.

"Thank you."

And

"...sorry, sir."

Kim Si-hoon bowed his head. His shoulders trembled with his head down.

The rain was tightlipped.

The sobbing figure of Balok overlapped with Kim Si-hoon.

Shivering with a feeling of helplessness that weighs on his shoulders.

Did they get caught? The reason why you chose the constellation alone. The reason why he faced the constellation, deceiving himself with a convenient excuse of desire. Damn it.

It's not even funny. It reminded me of the day when I first met Kim Si-hoon.

To force him to become a minister with a marvelous talent.

Kim Si-hoon is still not aware of the fact.

I don't know what the beginning of their relationship was like.

But when I saw him sobbing at the fact that he couldn't do anything for himself, I got angry.

It's like watching a hostage say thank you to the criminal.

Disgusting, dizzy.

I felt nauseous.

'If I had known.’

If I knew I would get this close to Sihoon.

The rain slowly closed its eyes.

It's too late to regret.

There is no way to fix the wrong button from the beginning.

Looking at the sobbing Kim Si-hoon, Kang Woo distorted his expression roughly.

What the hell?

What's wrong with you? I had a lot in my head.

If it were hell, I wouldn't have been complicated by this, but I would have been happy that Kim Si-hoon trusted him indefinitely without knowing anything.

'But.'

I should. It's been like that all this time. Why am I so offended?

The heavy rain kept its mouth tight and dazed.

I looked up at the ceiling.

Unknowingly, his mouth opened.

"Si-hoon."-"Yes, sir." "Do you remember the first time you met me?" "Of course." Kim Si-hoon nodded, opening his eyes in a circle.

I smiled faintly, maybe the memory of that time came to mind.

"I never thought I'd be this close to you back then."

hahahahaha

He smiled kindly.

I felt quite awkward with his smile.

Like a craftsmanship smile, it looked forced. "Then I will you..." Rain clenched his fist. My body trembled slightly. A vivid fear that was not felt even when faced with the constellation of terror encroached on him.

"What?"

Kim Si-hoon tilted his head and waited for the continuing words of the rain.

There was a silence.

Kangwoo shook his head with an awkward smile.

"No, nothing."

chewed up a strange feeling

I have a bad appetite.
