I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 383 End and Beginning (2)

“What did you mean by that! evil!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa stuttered and stepped back, screaming as if she had chewed her tongue.

“are you okay?”

Baek Woo-jin approached Jeok Yeon-hwa with a puzzled face.

“are you okay. But what you just said…”

“You’re not okay? “You’re bleeding.”

“Eh? blood?”

“Really.”

Light blood was indeed spreading across Jeok Yeon-hwa’s lips. It wasn’t heavy bleeding, but it seemed quite painful.

“It’s okay! Normally, when you talk, you chew your tongue and your lips!”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right.”

It was my first time hearing this, but Jeok Yeon-hwa answered so firmly that I just let it go.

“We are using respectful language again.”

“no way! Because it’s done. “What did you just say!”

“I asked if you wanted to meet me.”

“Ugh!”

As soon as Jeok Yeon-hwa heard those words, she even used footwork and took a quick step back once more.

She trembled, clutching her face, which was as red as peeling blush.

“Ugh…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa bit her lip, covering her cheeks that were so hot that they felt like they were about to explode. I could taste blood on the tip of my tongue, but that didn’t matter right now.

‘I guess asking to meet up means asking out?’

I heard it twice, so I’m sure I heard it wrong.

‘is not it? Are you just asking me out on a date? That can’t be possible. ‘That’s asking me out!’

As I was about to confess, I was suddenly struck first, making my head spin and my heart pounding as if it would explode. I felt like I had a bad cold.

‘Why did you say it so vaguely? Anyway, that person!’

There were countless people who asked to meet him, but he turned them all down.

Baek Woo-jin was the only person who caught my eye or thought seriously about it, so I couldn’t accurately understand the current situation.

‘Shall I ask again? No, if I misunderstand, I might die of embarrassment…’

I slowly lowered my hand and looked at Baek Woo-jin. Not knowing that he was worried like this, he had a calm expression on his face, as if he was enjoying afternoon tea time.

‘If you had waited, I would have told you on my own! Why are you hitting on a player for no reason?’

I had the situation and message prepared as best I could, but I couldn’t come to my senses after getting hit first.

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin scratched his chin while looking at Jeok Yeon-hwa shaking her head.

‘Why on earth are you doing that?’

It was difficult to understand her current reaction, which seemed to be distressed because she thought she had feelings for him.

“Red softening.”

“Hi!”

When I called her name, she opened her rabbit eyes and looked at me.

“Well, I…”

“If you’re that worried, why don’t you start off lightly?”

“yes?”

Jeok Yeon-hwa took a step back, letting out that cute voice she had heard a moment ago.

“Let’s start with a casual date. It’s a bit weird because there’s a speech at the World Association of Talented Persons next week. “How about this weekend?”

“I love it Joe! No wait! Then, what I said before about meeting you….”

“I am against it!”

Before Jeok Yeon-hwa could finish speaking, the door to the training hall burst open and Jeok Wi-jin and Jeok Gyeong-hoon came in.

“Lord Jeokga.”

“dad!”

“This is unacceptable!”

Je Wei-jin shook his head, drawing the character 8 (八) with his eyebrows.

“It’s too early for my daughter to start dating! After I grow up a little more…”

“Father! please!”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon let out a deep sigh and grabbed Jeok Wi-jin’s shoulder as he tried to run away.

“Yeonhwa is now 21 years old! There isn’t much left until I’m 22! Do you really want to let your youngest daughter die as a virgin ghost?”

“But that kid doesn’t know men yet!”

“I don’t know, so I have to let you meet! I can assure you that even if you search the world, you won’t find a better guy than Woojin. Even my father admits that!”

“That’s true, but… hehehe!”

Jeok Wi-jin clasped his hands together and his shoulders trembled as if sobbing. I knew it was a disaster, but I didn’t know it would be that bad.

“It is true that he saved my life and saved my enemy, but this is a different matter! I can’t admit it yet! “Half….”

“You really have to stop!”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon put his hand between Jeok Wi-jin’s armpits and dragged him out.

“It’s nice to see that you have a close relationship with your father.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Jeok Wi-jin and Jeok Yeon-hwa in turn and laughed.

“Oh no. This is not it! It has nothing to do with me! “I don’t know anyone like that!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa waved her hand with her face turning even redder than before.

“You said weekends were okay, right? Then, see you at Gangnam Station on Saturday. “I’ll contact you later.”

“Ah…”

Baek Woo-jin saw Jeok Yeon-hwa nodding her head blankly and headed towards the door where Jeok Yeon-hwa left. He turned around and saw Jeok Yeon-hwa.

“And…”

“Yes!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa nodded fiercely. I was hoping Baek Woo-jin would repeat what he said earlier.

“I think it would be better not to wear makeup while training. Or make it waterproof.”

“Eh?”

“Then I’ll see you on Saturday.”

After saying that, he opened the gymnasium door and went out.

“Uh…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa opened her mouth. I couldn’t understand the meaning of what Baek Woo-jin just said.

“Wha makeup? “What are you talking about now…”

“Danju!”

As soon as Baek Woo-jin left, Jang A-young, a member of the Poongsindan and the person who told us today’s confession, jumped over the wall and ran over.

“What happened… huh?”

Jang A-young stopped running and opened her eyes wide.

“Fuhahaha! Danju! “What is that face!”

“why?”

“My face is all messed up now!

She immediately took out her phone, opened the camera app, and showed it to herself.

“100 million!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa jumped up and screamed. All my makeup had melted and was smeared all over my face. My face was so damaged that I couldn’t even put on makeup.

“Ouch!”

It seemed like this happened because of the heat and sweat that came from being embarrassed after sparring harder than expected and hearing his confession.

“Could it be that Lord Baek has seen your face just now?”

“Yes…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa nodded with a face that looked like she was about to cry.

“What did he say?”

“I said it would be better not to wear makeup when sparring.”

“Aren’t you smiling?”

“Yes…”

Jang Ayoung pursed her lips. The droopy red lotus flower was so cute that I wanted to make fun of it a little, but I thought it would be impossible to recover if I did that, so I decided to give it some courage.

“As expected, you are the head of the Baek family. From what you said, it means you don’t really care. “What happened today?”

“Actually, I didn’t confess…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa told Jang A-young everything that happened today.

“Ayu, the head of the family is real!”

Jang A-young slapped her thigh in frustration.

“Am I ruined?”

“no. Rather, it went well. I’m sure you have feelings for him too, so you can progress your relationship by going on a date on Saturday! “I’ll tell you, so please wash up first.”

“huh!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa laughed and left the training ground.

“I heard you’re so cute.”

Jang A-young smiled as she looked at Jeok Yeon-hwa leaving with her hands clasped together. Unlike when she was training, she now had the face of a girl.

“Lord Baek. “You’ve been blessed.”

**

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin had his back to the building in front of Gangnam Station. No one recognized him because he was wearing blank, horn-rimmed glasses and was making himself invisible.

“I was a little late!”

When there were about 5 minutes left until the appointment time, Jeok Yeon-hwa appeared in the alley.

Her shoulder-length short hair was soft and fluffy. With skin as white as the first snow, harmonious yet gorgeous features, and light makeup added, even saying that she was a beauty beyond compare was insufficient.

Even though she was as invisible as herself, she exuded an overwhelming beauty that made the men around her take a look.

“at all.”

“thank god.”

“Didn’t you say you were speaking informally?”

“Oh, that’s right. No, it wasn’t like that.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa opened her eyes and nodded.

“Is there something you want to do?”

“Oh, especially….”

“Then you can just spend your time like everyone else.”

“Like everyone else?”

“A normal date like everyone else.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly and nodded.

“But aren’t the clothes uncomfortable?”

“Oh clothes?”

“It’s my first time seeing you wearing a skirt.”

“Oh not at all! “I wear it often.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa waved her hand and bit her lip.

‘This person is really…’

Jang A-young wore the red blouse and gray skirt that Jang A-young recommended, a gray skirt, and accessories, but Baek Woo-jin didn’t say a word about it.

‘You should like this or you should hate it…’

I didn’t know how to accept people worrying about my body instead of compliments. I wanted to hear Ayoung’s advice right away.

“Then shall we start with dinner?”

“But if you go now, it’s crowded…”

“I made a reservation.”

Baek Woo-jin grinned and raised his hand.

“Let’s go. “Mr. Yeonhwa.”

**

Jeok Yeon-hwa closed her eyes, savoring the scent of coffee. As he said, Baek Woo-jin has prepared a date that ordinary lovers would have.

The meal at the high-end restaurant was delicious, the movie I saw at the movie theater was moving, and the coffee I drank at the private cafe was bitter but fragrant.

‘Is this why you guys wanted to be together so much?’

Fine dining, movies, and coffee were all things I was familiar with, but probably because Baek Woo-jin was right next to me, all of those sensations came closer to my heart than usual.

This is why it seemed like lovers were trying to stay together for a lot of things. However, for some reason, my heart felt a little tight.

“Hmm…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa put down her coffee cup and glanced up at Baek Woo-jin like a rabbit hiding in a burrow.

‘But why am I becoming more and more handsome?’

When I first saw him, I thought he was an unlucky, arrogant guy, but now, every time I see him, he seems to be getting more handsome. I really didn’t know that I would look good even if I wore horn-rimmed glasses.

“why?”

Baek Woo-jin noticed his gaze and slightly raised his face.

“Oh no!”

“No?”

“No! “No, no!”

In confusion, I leaned back and waved my hands.

“No, how many times does it go in?”

He laughed and put the cookie he ordered along with the coffee into his mouth.

“Hmm…”

It was also a painting, so I ended up looking at it blankly without realizing it.

“How was your day?”

“Joe was good. “No, it was okay!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa spoke honestly, but then answered in a slightly contradictory manner, just as Jang A-young had told her.

“Then that’s a relief.”

He smiled leisurely and nodded.

‘Why are you so calm?’

According to information, Baek Woo-jin has never dated anyone. I couldn’t figure out why he was so calm, unlike himself, who was restless.

“Hey, today….”

“Hmm?”

When I tried to talk to Baek Woo-jin, he narrowed his eyes and turned his head toward the window.

Weeeeeee!

Before I could ask, ‘Why?’ an emergency siren rang from the external speaker.

[An emergency crack occurred in front of Exit 4 of Gangnam Station! We will guide you once again! An emergency crack occurred in front of Exit 4 of Gangnam Station. The monster inside the crack has been identified as a Lizardman. Although it is a level 6 monster, it is as ferocious and strong as level 7, so citizens nearby should take emergency shelters…]

Unpredictable emergency cracks were occurring more frequently than before, whether it was a reaction to a complete blockage of the demon world.

“Lizardman…”

Baek Woo-jin put down his cup, sighing with the lingering scent of coffee.

“As you know, lizardmen are smart, so they might find victims. “I have to go.”

“I’m going too! There may be people who couldn’t evacuate…”

“It’s okay. “I came dressed so beautifully today, but it would be a shame if it got dirty.”

“Now wait!”

“Sorry.”

He patted himself on the shoulder and left the cafe.

Baek Woo-jin is seen running outside the window. When I saw his broad, trustworthy back, my heart pounded more than ever today and my face heated up.

‘okay. It did.’

Jeok Yeon-hwa looked at his back and laughed.

‘That’s exactly what it looked like.’

The reason she fell in love with Baek Woo-jin was not in making a reservation at a restaurant, watching a movie, or drinking coffee.

This was because of his consistent dedication to helping others and never neglecting development.

“after!”

It feels like the tightness in my chest has gone away.

‘I have to go.’

When I got up and tried to leave the cafe, the narrow skirt that fell below my knees got in my way.

“I also have to look like I fit in.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa smiled and grabbed her skirt.

**

“Tsk!”

Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue in front of the exit where the crack occurred.

‘Why is it today?’

Jeok Yeon-hwa seemed to be in a good mood, as if she liked what she had prepared, but she may have lost all her points due to the current incident.

‘If darkness had seen it, it would have said it was stupid.’

Still, I can’t help it. Since it was an unprepared Lizardman rift, the response from the association and guild would have been delayed, and it had to be prevented before casualties occurred.

Wooooow!

As I was watching the space split like the jaws of an animal, I felt someone running behind me.

‘Red softening?’

It was a presence that I couldn’t have known since we had been together just a moment ago.

“I’m not late, am I?”

Jeok Yeon-hwa’s appearance as she came running was different from when she was at the cafe.

The loose sleeves of her blouse were rolled up to her shoulders and her narrow skirt was torn above her knees.

“I told you to just stay. “Why the clothes…”

“I don’t like it. “No, I don’t like it!”

She raised her fist, still speaking informally and politely.

“I’m talented too. “You have to do what you have to do.”

“…Right.”

Baek Woo-jin raised his finger and continued.

“The clothes fit well. “Much more than before.”

It’s not a lie.

In terms of prettyness, Jeok Yeon-hwa was better than before, but her current appearance was much more fitting and beautiful.

“I know.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa nodded confidently, as if it was obvious.

Wooooow!

As I was making eye contact with her, a crack widened and lizards holding scimitars and steel shields appeared. When I saw a red aura appear under their legs, it seemed like the boss would appear soon.

“Let’s make a bet.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa looked at the Lizardmen and raised her auror.

“bet?”

“Let’s make a wish to see who will be the boss.”

“Is this the revenge of the creeping mole dungeon?”

I remembered making the same bet in the vine mole dungeon where I first met Jeok Yeon-hwa.

Coooooo!

30 Lizardmen fell, and the Lizardman King, who was 50cm taller than them, appeared in the center.

“that’s right. “I won’t lose this time!”

She shouted that she would not lose and jumped towards the Lizardmen.

“I told you to choose one, either informally or politely.”

Baek Woo-jin rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and smiled. He created a capital with his hands and launched a lightning bolt towards the Lizardmen who were trying to disperse.

Absolutely!

Ten Lizardmen were instantly reduced to ashes by a thunderstorm.

Kwaaaaang!

Jeok Yeon-hwa also destroyed all the Lizardmen on the right with the combination of Myeonghwa Fist.

The two simultaneously defeated the remaining 10 Lizardmen in the center and ran toward the Lizardman King.

“I won’t lose this time! uh?”

When Jeok Yeon-hwa put out her fist to fire the Myeongryongpo, the famous sword of the Myeonghwa Fist, the Lizardman King rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

“What is it?”

The tongue is sticking out long and there is no breathing at all. I completely lost my breath.

“Heh!”

When I looked back to understand the situation, I saw Baek Woo-jin grinning and raising his hand.

“I won.”

“You really used your mind and sword? To win a bet?”

“of course.”

He nodded confidently.

“Huh…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. He rushed towards Baek Woo-jin with even more force than when he attacked the Lizardman.

“This damn thing is real!”

“Yes. Please speak informally like that.”
