“… Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
Right after hearing all about what the Tang Clan’s Gate was requesting from me. That’s the words I uttered.
Words asking if she would really be okay.
I couldn’t help but ask such a thing.
No matter how I listened, it was truly a difficult story to come from the Tang Clan’s Gate’s mouth.
Even at my doubt, the Tang Clan’s Gate still wears sad eyes but doesn’t retract it or anything.
-Will it be possible?
“…”
At the Tang Clan’s Gate’s question, I lightly pinch my lips with my thumb. Possible?
‘I don’t know.’
Honestly, it’s too much to give a definite answer.
Because it’s a part that’s hard to think about how to handle this without harm to me.
But.
‘Hmm.’
Even pondering like this, frankly speaking, my answer is already decided.
“It doesn’t seem like a problem I can run away from by saying no.”
-….
At my answer, the Tang Clan’s Gate smiles bitterly. Because it hit the nail on the head.
She knew I couldn’t refuse.
That’s why deliberately.
‘She brought up the story about Tang Soyeol.’
Because she must have thought if it’s related to her, I couldn’t refuse. And that’s.
‘Something I can’t deny.’
It was also something I couldn’t outright deny.
“I’ll try it at least.”
Whether it works or not, I’ll try. That’s about the answer I can give now.
Fortunately, the Tang Clan’s Gate slightly nods her head, as if my answer isn’t bad.
-Thank you. Successor.
“No need for thanks. Anyway….”
It feels like working for a reward, so no need for thanks.
Moreover, she herself seems quite rotten inside due to this issue.
‘It’s not exactly a pleasant thing for me…
