“Let’s go back, Ha-Yan,” I said.

“Okay…” Jung Ha-Yan replied.

I wanted to comfort him, but I didn’t think this was the right time to do that, as no matter what I would say, I was sure he wouldn’t process it. As someone who talked to Park Deok-Gu pretty often, Jung Ha-Yan looked a bit sad. The other party members were important, but Kim Hyun-Sung and Park Deok-Gu were labeled the most important, so I could understand why she was reacting this way. We had been together since the tutorial dungeon, and we took care of her when became an outcast. Park Deok-Gu even gave a beating to the molester whose name I couldn’t remember anymore, so excluding me, I was sure she was very close with Park Deok-Gu.

‘He even played cupid…’

I was afraid that he might see us, but even when we started walking away quietly, he continued to swing his sword. It did bother me that he kept mumbling.

‘I can do better...’

I was certain he kept repeating the words I told him when we first met. Honestly, I only said that to urge the scared Park Deok-Gu, but I guess those words must have been supporting him all this while, and I couldn’t help...
