I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

501 – Side story) Close but awkward relationship

ㅡDing dong ding dong♪

ㅡKnock knock knock… !!!

Outside the front door, the ringing of a bell and a knock on the door continue one after another.

The knocking sound was full of indifference and annoyance. The unspoken pressure to open the door quickly becomes stronger.

“… … .”

Still, I couldn’t react right away.

Because it was a visit from an unexpected person.

Of course, on the intercom screen… … .

A woman about my age with long black hair tied back was standing there.

He is Asian, tall and tall.

A strong body revealed from inside the jacket.

A woman wearing fairly comfortable clothes, as if she had just been exercising, wiggles her eyebrows.

Was it because there was no response to the knock? Her face gradually hardens.

‘what? Why did he come to my house… … ?’

I was never a stranger.

Even though we weren’t close, he was someone we knew in person.

Because we have seen each other occasionally since we were young.

If we had to be honest, should we say that it is a relationship between a childhood friend and a female friend? When we saw each other on rare occasions, we only exchanged simple greetings.

ㅡThump thump thump… !

“hey! Seong Ji-hoon! It’s in you, right?! Open the door! “Are you sure you’re already asleep?”

It was a time when I was hesitating for a moment about how to react out of curiosity.

She calls my name and knocks on the door.

It was like that. My original name is Seong Ji-hoon.

It’s been a really long time since I’ve been called by this name.

By the way, has he been called a breeder all this time? I felt awkward being called by my real name, which I had forgotten for a long time.

“… Oh, just wait a moment.”

-Chuck!

I was embarrassed and only then opened the door.

Of course, only slightly so that only the face can be seen.

This was a measure taken in case Derke was seen.

I had a feeling that if Derke was discovered by that guy, I would get caught up in some troublesome trouble.

I didn’t know what was going on, but I wanted to move on as quietly as possible.

“thank god! “You were inside-?!”

“Relief..? But what is going on at this late hour? Jeon So-rim, are you coming all the way to my house?”

When I opened the door, the woman on the screen was standing there.

Her name is Jeon So-rim.

She is the daughter of the owner of this villa building.

To be more precise, she was the daughter of my father’s friend. Therefore, I have often seen Jeon So-rim face to face since I was very young.

However, our relationship was never as deep as childhood friends.

That’s right… … .

“ha? What’s going on? “Is that what you say to someone you haven’t seen in a long time?”

For some reason, ever since she was young, whenever she saw me, she had an indifferent attitude and behaved harshly.

Even when I was young, it wasn’t easy to make friends.

Because whenever I tried to approach him, he always just bounced me away.

Does it feel like you’re face to face with an arrogant cat?

Well, it was worth it to be arrogant.

Since I was young, there were a lot of men around me.

Because it was an appearance that was bound to be popular.

However, Jeon So-rim was cold and indifferent not only to me but to all men.

It was the same even after I became an adult.

There was a lot of fuss because the door opened a little late.

Usually, when I bump into someone on the street, I just say hello and go about my own way.

But what on earth is she doing on a night like this?

“Are you… … . “Did you drink again?”

“What? I was worried and asked the person who came here if he had been drinking? “What kind of nonsense is that!”

“Surely you forgot? You’ve done that a few times before. He was so drunk that he always rang the bell and knocked on the door until I woke up… … . So, I thought I might have been drinking again and confused the floor number again.”

“My, when did I..?! Oh, and that was from some time ago, but you still remember it?!”

“huh? “Do you know that you remember that too?”

“Oh, no?! Ugh.. this is ridiculous-!”

Jeon So-rim, who is the same age as me, suddenly starts screaming.

I guess it exposed a dark history that I would like to forget.

“Anyway, what’s going on at this time of night? “When I hear your voice, it doesn’t sound like you’re drunk.”

“Really~! I think someone came here because they wanted to… … .”

“That’s why you ask. “For what reason?”

“My father told me to go once, so I did!”

“ah? “The owner?”

“okay! I heard you didn’t pay rent this month? I’m not even getting a call from my dad! So, he asked me to check to see if anything was wrong, so I came and checked it out! Do you understand now?!”

“… monthly? Oh, that’s right!”

When I heard those words, my mind lit up.

Forgotten memories come back.

This room… … . When I became a monk two years ago, I was able to get a cheap room here thanks to my father’s connections.

‘… ‘The payment date has already passed?’

However, when I returned home after being possessed, I realized that three days had passed since the rent was due. No, should I say it’s only for three days?

anyway… … . When I checked the missed notifications on my phone, I saw that the owner had contacted me several times.

“Sung Ji-hoon, are you really okay? What on earth have you been doing all this time? “I lost contact and didn’t leave the house for almost a week.”

“Oh, that’s it… … . Actually, so… … .”

When I try to answer, I am completely speechless.

I can’t think of a plausible answer.

I didn’t really want to lie, but

Who would believe me if I told you that I had been to the world of dragons for a while?

“done. “Last time I heard, you were retiring from the company and preparing for a new job, so I think you would know without me saying anything.”

“… huh?”

“Now come to your senses. “You haven’t been stuck in your room playing some weird fucking game, right?”

“──!?”

“What, what? That expression…? “I just threw this out there, but is it really true?”

Jeon So-rim tilts her head with a slightly shocked expression.

Is this what a woman feels like?

I was surprised because it was such an accurate point.

But Jeon So-rim, this guy… … .

How did they know that I had been stuck in my room and not going out all this time? I have never told anyone other than my family that I am preparing to change jobs after leaving the company.

“… Huh! Well, that can’t be possible, right? “I just felt unwell for a few days.”

“Huh~ Is that true? No matter how I look at it, it seems like you’re hiding something?”

“You’re saying it’s not really like that?”

“okay? Well, when I look at it closely again, it seems like the face and atmosphere have somehow changed from before… … ?”

He tilts his head back and forth and looks at my face. It seems that the spirit came over from the other world and slightly affected the original body.

“It’s okay, I’ll deposit the money right away, so please tell him I’m fine.”

“Well, okay. I’m glad there’s no problem. I was really worried because I thought something had happened… … .”

“Anyway, it’s closing now?”

“Hey, Seong Ji-hoon, wait a minute… ! “Take this before you go in!”

ㅡUgh… !

Just as I was about to close the door, something suddenly came in through the crack in the door. When I looked closely, I saw that it was a square sealed container.

“What is this again?”

“My mom made it this morning, but tell her there’s a lot left.” “I’m coming to see if you’re okay.”

“Oh, please tell me thank you for always taking care of me.”

“That’s it. “You will come and tell me later.”

“Okay, anyway, is it really closing now?”

“Tch, is it really okay to be mean to someone you haven’t seen in a long time? Are you suspicious?”

“what? Jeon So-rim, are you really strange today? Normally you would have just thrown it away, so what are you so curious about?”

“Ha, look at your actions now. You look completely awkward and nervous. What are you really hiding inside? “Did you happen to have a girlfriend who lives with you?!”

“Cough..! Well, it’s not like that! And even if it does happen, what does it have to do with you?”

Jeon So-rim asks sharp questions until the end.

She moves her eyes around.

To somehow look inside the house.

The guy’s eyes become more and more confident.

“Of course it has nothing to do with me, but…! “Are you really weird today?”

“What am I?”

“In the past, the guy who would say clearly that he doesn’t have a girlfriend or anything like that is trying to explain it away with a vague answer this time. No matter how I look at this, it’s suspicious─ Wow… … !?”

She desperately looks inside and suddenly screams.

That’s right… … .

“… brother? “Are you okay?”

“what? Derke… … ?”

Derke was coming up behind me.

Looking at me with a worried face.

I guess I’ve been away longer than I thought.

Derke must have been worried that something had happened. If I had known this would happen, I would have told you to stay in your room for a while.

“Derke… ? Are you really living with your girlfriend? And with a foreigner—!?!?”

“Ha, it’s not like that… … .”

“Breeder oppa? “Who is that woman?”

“No… ?! Pure white silver hair and green eyes… ! Moreover, there is also an unusual foreign language that is completely incomprehensible… … . Anyone can see that he is a foreigner!”

“… Tsk.”

As expected, Derke’s idiom sounds like a foreign language to other people. by the way… … .

“Sung Ji-hoon has a girl? Oh, that’s ridiculous… … . And such an incredible foreign beauty… … ???”

This has become annoying.

I don’t really want to hide the relationship, but

How should I explain this to naturally convince Jeon So-rim?

Even if I introduce myself as my girlfriend under the circumstances, I feel like they will never believe me. If you told me that you were connected by heart, you wouldn’t believe me even more.

That was when I was frowning and thinking.

“… brother? “If you’re in trouble, Derke will solve it for you.”

“huh? Derke? Yes… how did you… … ?”

Derke murmurs meaningfully, with a unique look in his green eyes.
