My Ancestor is Watching Me! — Chapter 22

A FEW DAYS LATER,

KIM SOON-AE~~!!!

YOU'RE FINALLY COMING BACK TO SCHOOL! YOU LITTLE BRAT!!

I MISSED YOU~~!!

YEAH... I NEED TO START COMING TO SCHOOL REGULARLY NOW.

If I don't want to get put on academic probation.

I MISSED YOU TOO, MINA.

AND...

DAWON, TOO.

IT'S SO NICE HAVING THE THREE OF US IN CLASS TOGETHER AGAIN AFTER SO LONG!

LET'S GO TO THE CAFE IN OUR BUILDING!!

I'M GETTING MINT CHOCOLATE.

DAWON.

I'M SORRY.

AND... THANK YOU.

I HEARD YOU STOOD UP TO TAEHEON.

I DID SOME TERRIBLE THINGS TO YOU...

I heard he even quit being a nude model.

GRANDMA SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME MUCH MORE SUBDUED...

IT'S OKAY.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, I'M JUST GLAD YOU'RE SAFE NOW.

DAWON...

HEY, KIM SOON-AE! YOU STILL HAVEN'T PAID US BACK, SO YOU'RE BUYING~!

Ah, okay... Now that I'm moving out of the studio, I'll pay you back soon...

FORGIVENESS...

YOU FORGAVE SOON-AE?

YOU COULD CALL IT MEDDLING IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BUSINESS,

BUT MAYBE THIS IS WHAT FORGIVENESS FEELS LIKE.

WELL, IT DOESN'T FEEL BAD.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE PROBLEM IS

THAT I HAVE TO FINISH THIS...

THE ASSIGNMENT EXHIBITION CRITIQUE IS COMING UP SOON...

BUT I REALLY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE CALLING SENIOR AGAIN.

ALL THESE EVENTS

SEEMED TO BE TELLING ME THAT I SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM SENIOR DAHAM.

Y-YOU ARE

THAT BASTARD WHO GAVE HER THE TALISMAN...?

COULD IT BE...

THE TALISMAN THAT PERSON RECEIVED.

COULD THAT HAVE BEEN SENIOR'S DOING, TOO...?

NO. I'M JUST OVERTHINKING IT.

IF SENIOR HAD SENT THE SNAKE TO SOON-AE,

WOULD HE REALLY HAVE WENT THAT FAR TO HELP SOON-AE?

FOR NOW, LET'S JUST IMAGINE WHATEVER COMES TO MIND AND DRAW IT.

AH, I DOZED OFF.

HUH.

I DREW THE HAIR COMPLETELY BLACK.

DID I DO THAT BECAUSE I WAS DOZING OFF...?

THIS...

IS THIS WHAT APPEARED IN MY DREAM THE DAY AFTER I WENT TO THE SHRINE...?

THAT DREAM,

WAS STRANGELY VIVID.

THAT EXPRESSION SOMEHOW... HE LOOKED SAD.

NO. THERE'S NO NEED TO GET SENTIMENTAL OVER SOME STUPID DREAM LIKE THIS...

SENIOR IS PROBABLY BUSY FOOLING AROUND WITH THAT SURYEON PERSON OR WHATEVER ANYWAY.

MY HAIR IS BLACK?

WHY DID YOU DRAW IT LIKE THIS?

AH.

WELL...

I DIDN'T MEAN TO...

SENIOR...?

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRAW WITHOUT A MODEL.

DRAW WHILE LOOKING AT ME.

SOMEHOW... I WAS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED BY HIS PRESENCE.

...SENIOR.

IF YOU'RE ALONE WITH A WOMAN THIS LATE,

YOUR GIRLFRIEND WILL BE UPSET.

HUH?

I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND.

...DON'T LIE TO ME.

I SAW YOU WITH A WOMAN THE OTHER NIGHT, TOO.

THE OTHER NIGHT?

OH, YOU MEAN THE NIGHT SEOJUN WAS THE MODEL?

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SIAH?

WE HAVE BEEN MEETING OFTEN LATELY BECAUSE OF THE STUDY...

SIAH'S BEAUTY FREQUENCY ♡

WHY WOULD I DATE HER?

THEN...

WHO IS THIS PERSON NAMED SURYEON?

THAT...

DON'T TRY TO BRUSH IT OFF AGAIN THIS TIME.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH...

I'VE BEEN SUFFERING EVER SINCE THAT DAY...

Paint Paint

UM...

That...

IT WAS MY FIRST TIME...

UH...

UM...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO THINK...

AH....

HMM... I DON'T KNOW EITHER.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN THIS...?

THAT... IT WAS YOU.
