The Divorced Man Has Returned

chapter 9



#9. I am Hayena.

What the manager said was true.

Beautiful freshmen existed in this department. It was not an imaginary animal.

But it must have been one of my ex-wives…

I was expecting a new pace from the inside, but when I heard that Jena was in this department, I was more satisfied with the club.

It was impossible in a previous life to be able to watch Jena’s youthful appearance right next to her.

She was kinder and more understanding than any of her wives.

It was natural to wonder what she looked like as a child.

And who I am now… I haven’t done anything wrong to her yet.

I remembered again the terrible mistakes I had made against her in her previous life.

Of course, it was obviously my fault that I searched the names of Sihwa and Harin on SNS, but unconsciously calling Yena by the names of other wives was inevitable.

As it should be, I… I didn’t get a divorce because I hated or hated Sihwa and Harin.

Harin left her for the rest of her happy life, and was abandoned in return for lying to her Sihwa.

But there was never a time when all those marriages were not sincere.

We loved with all our hearts, but a huge wall of infertility separated us.

It was a part of my life until I met Jena. No, I missed them very much, who were part of me.

And I constantly blamed myself for being infertile.

If I hadn’t been infertile… There was no reason to lose Harin, and so was Sihwa.

Maybe it didn’t even have anything to do with Sihwa.

I fell in love with her after meeting Jena, but I was stained with the traces of longing accumulated over the years.

But now it was different.

He was physically healthy, and there was no divorce history that made Jena anxious.

If I succeeded in approaching Jena now, my first love in this life could be Jena.

But maybe Jena doesn’t like me?

I haven’t done anything yet, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of being hated.

Jena looked at me and answered her manager’s greeting.

“Senior. Didn’t the freshman say that I was enough?”

It was her tone of voice that seemed unwelcome to the incoming freshman.

“Hey. It’s just one voice. If you do not receive a new member, the club will be disbanded and you will not be able to get any subsidies. Are you saying that you know how smart I am right now?”

There was such a background.

I thought you liked me so much, but the truth has always been cruel.

“Haha… it’s done. It doesn’t really matter because it’s a department that doesn’t work properly anyway. What.”

“Yena… I must draw as much as you! Otherwise, there is no result to be exhibited at the festival…!”

Is it okay for a person called the manager to depend on a freshman like this…?

Suddenly, after a while, I began to fear that I would be on his tool list.

“That’s not my case.”

Jenna just cut it off and talked.

“Ah, don’t do that! Ruler! Say hi! Choi In-wook, a friend who started eating rice in one pot with us from today! Inwook! You too, come over here and say hello.”

Gulp.

I heard a loud sound of saliva passing over my neck as I faced Jena head-on.

“Ah… hello? I think we saw each other briefly at the bookstore before… Haha…”

I could feel her self-confidence gradually waning from her cold expression.

“I am Hayena. I’m a freshman like you and I’m in class 1. Because it’s a senior’s word, I say hello, but I’ll refrain from paying too much attention.”

It was a cold self-introduction.

“Yeah… I see. I am Choi Inwook. Seven and a half I’m not very good at drawing, but please take good care of me.”

However, my words to take care of you felt ambiguous.

Even though I was aware that this life was a new life different from the previous one, it was difficult to shake off the guilt.

“Why did I get a child who can’t even draw? Senior.”

The conversation with me was like Jena, who openly complained to her manager.

“Arthur. How many people in this department are good at drawing besides you?”

The manager, who crawled back into the blanket, responded to Jena with a tone that asked what he was talking about.

I thought it would be a good idea to be a free club.

“Senior. I have to draw seniors to do an exhibition.”

“I’m going to use the picture I wrote last year again. I don’t know.”

It was a feast of irresponsible remarks.

Jena noticed that she was about to say something more, but her manager refused to talk to her by burying her face in her blanket.

When she turned her head and met her eyes, Jena’s eyes looked like she was doing something.

I don’t know if that’s what it looked like or if it actually meant that, but I left the word that I’m coming again and left the bankruptcy.

The next morning after training her body to the point where her body aches.

I arrived at the academy a little earlier than usual and stopped by the student council room first.

Looking at the locked door, it seemed that no one had arrived yet.

I thought it would be better if there were no people, but it was better to have no one.

I entered the password and opened the door, not at my desk, but at the seat of the senior in charge of managing the dungeon.

There must be a list of dungeons somewhere in these carefully organized folders…

Where are you… Hurry up…

While browsing, a blue folder caught my eye.

This is it!

[Academic student application available dungeon list]

The academy had a system that allowed entry to the dungeon to accumulate practical experience for prospective hunters.

Levels of the monsters that appeared in the dungeons varied widely, but most of the dungeons that students were allowed to access were level 1 to 2.

Sometimes, dungeons with level 3 or higher monsters were also included in the list, but this can only be applied by accompanying existing hunters, or enter only when the level of monsters that appear in the dungeon is not accurately measured. It was possible.

And out of these many dungeons, the one I’m looking for is a small dungeon located in Guryongsan Mountain in Seocho-gu.

In the description, it was stated that only level 1 monsters would appear, but that was not true.

In the Guryongsan dungeon, a hidden dungeon that opens when certain conditions are met was hidden.

And the monsters appearing in the hidden dungeon have a whopping level of 5.

It was a place where newcomers were unconditionally killed if they tried to get into it.

In fact, in previous lives, there were rare cases where the academy students who entered to accumulate achievements disappeared inside the dungeon, and it was long after it was revealed that there was a hidden dungeon there.

Of course, defeating the level 5 monster wasn’t bad for a practice that made the most of the actual feeling, but there was something more important.

The reward for defeating this monster.

It was a sword that boasted an overwhelming specification among the many unrealistic weapons of the Hunters.

Okay. Please apply for admission here soon…

Profit.

Someone opened the door and entered the student council room.

It was a poem.

I made a mess by searching other people’s desks.

Sihwa watching that.

“…Hello?”

It was me who broke the silence.

“What are you doing? Choi In-wook.”

It was an award-winning scene for anyone to see.

“Ah… that’s…”

When I was going to organize the folders, Sihwa came to my side.

“What is this? It’s a dungeon application. You. Are you going to enter the dungeon?”

Sihwa looked at me with an expression that I did not understand.

“Ah… I’m interested.”

“Where are you going?”

She was overly interested.

You have to look around.

“I didn’t really set it up, I just wanted to know what it was… ha… haha…”

“Yes?”

Sihwa looked at me suspiciously and snatched the blue folder I was holding.

“Guryongsan Dungeon. It’s a simple difficulty. Are you going here?”

“Ah… well… I thought so.”

I don’t know if I already know the contents or if I skimmed through it in speed reading, but she gave me the folder again.

“Next time, please contact me when there is a senior in charge. Don’t take someone else’s place. Misunderstood.”

“Okay.”

I thought she would bite and sag more tenaciously, but surprisingly, it was her attitude that seemed to pretend that she didn’t see her.

“Would you like to organize and go?”

Being pricked, I nodded her head at her words and organized the folders one by one in order.

I couldn’t ask why Sihwa was here so early in the morning, but I noticed that I chose to leave the student council room rather than continue the conversation.

“Choi Inwook Hi!”

The boy next to me. Park Ha-min sat down and greeted me.

I had zero friendships in my previous life. It was all about business relationships and Harin, but this life was me trying to enjoy the joy of making friends.

“Are you here? Park Ha-min.”

I’m a little too old to be called a friend of my age, but how about that?

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

No one would ever question my identity.

“Hey. Inwook-ah. How about pairing with Harin? I’m really envious… Ah… Why did Dahye Kim call me… Ahhh…”

Hamin was paired up with a female student named Dahye, but it seemed that she didn’t like it.

To me, Dahye also looks normally cute, but why is she doing that?

“I don’t think Dahye is that bad, but why are you feeling so sorry for it?”

“A. Still, Harin is better.”

Did I say that even a tiger would come if I said something?

When she arrived, Harin was looking at me with a bright smile.

“What? Talking to me? Let me know too.”

Hamin coughed as if she was shy and moved away from her seat.

“Hey! Inwook! I’ll go to the store for a while.”

“Uh… uh! Okay! Come on.”

Harin sat in Hamin’s seat, looking at me.

“Inwook-ah.”

Harin looked like she had something to say to me.

“Yes.”

“What are you doing after the academy today?”

“There is a student council meeting, but will it be over soon?”

“Ah… did you join the student council?”

It was her reaction that she was a little puzzled.

I’m puzzled too. I didn’t go in because I wanted to go in.

“Then can you see me for a moment after that?”

“Outside?”

“Yes. Outside the academy.”

“Why?”

Do you have anything to do in private?

“Well… it’s a pair. I thought it would be good to know a little more about each other in terms of battles…”

It wasn’t really wrong, but I think it would be enough to talk about it at the academy…

“Are you… busy?”

“No. Okay.”

“Then come here later!”

She gave me the address of a cafe near her house.

Sometimes I replied that I wasn’t busy, and I refused because it was Pair’s request.

“Okay. So I think it will be around 6 o’clock. It’s okay?”

“Okay! Inwook, whatever you are comfortable with!”

“Okay. Then.”

Harin smiled broadly and spoke to me.

“I’ll be looking forward to it!”
