Chapter 123: Vol. 5 – Episode 13
“There’s still a way.” The guy’s words had some truth to them. “But the dragon ball is out of reach now.”
“I know, but there’s another way.”
“What do you mean?”
There was an army of 300,000 soldiers guarding the center, but there were only 3,000 soldiers in the resistance army.
One versus one hundred. There was no way 3,000 could defeat 300,000. They were not superhumans. Each person was normal apart from Sooryung.
“Shh. We don’t know who else is a spy, so don’t ask.”
“But…”
“I will tell you later,” answered Sungjin with a grin. His smile showed that he didn’t consider the situation a threat.
Sooryung slightly bowed to him. “Ok.” This is interesting, when I look at his smile… Despite their desperate situation, she felt like there was hope. She felt like she had lost everything until then. And that was the true situation. But…
Does Sungjin really have a solution for this one-against-one-hundred fight?
And this was right after they had lost their joker card that they had prepared.
If that’s true… then Sungjin’s plans and intelligence must be his magical power.
If he could make the impossible possible, that would be the real miracle.
That night, Sungjin had a secret meeting with Sooryung in a private room.
When he confirmed that there was n.o.body around them, Sungjin started to whisper into Sooryung’s ear. When he told her something in his low voice, her eyes grew large in surprise.
They looked like lovers having a secret rendezvous, although it was only a meeting to discuss their plans.
“Do… do you really think that would be possible?” Sooryung’s beautiful eyes showed mixed feelings: surprise, amazement, awe, and more…
“In our current resistance army, I would be the only one who could.” Sungjin wasn’t bragging; it was out of an accurate a.n.a.lysis. He wasn’t being arrogant. It was a nearly impossible plan, and there was no one in the resistance army who could do it. “I can,” said Sungjin with confidence.
“Do you… really think you can?”
“Trust me. I will make it.”
If he is right, we still have hope. It would be more accurate to say that there wasn’t hope, but Sungjin was creating it.
The plan that Sungjin came up with was really… something that only Sungjin could think of, and something only Sungjin would be able to make possible.
“But… you would take such a dangerous task… for us…”
When she tried to apologize, Sungjin snapped his fingers. “Don’t worry. It’s not for you.”
“But…”
“I told you that I needed to leave this world, right?” He had to go back to everyone who was waiting for him: Ereka, Jenna, Eustasia, Rachel, and Zakiya. All the girls who had given up their comfortable lives in the continent and had joined him in this dangerous expedition. He had to go back to them—that was his responsibility and his duty.
And apart from his responsibility…
Hmph. I should punch Varka back as revenge.
Running away after one defeat was not something he would do.
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I have people who are waiting for me, and I need to get even with someone as well, so you don’t owe me anything.” They simply had the same objective of destroying the closed s.p.a.ce.
“But… thank you. Thanks to you, we found our hope.”
“So should we do this?”
“Yes, and…”
“And?”
Sooryung was lost in her thoughts. Sungjin said he could do it but… It was a really dangerous task, and it was natural that it would be dangerous. He was trying to do something that they had been trying to do for over ten years by himself. How can I thank him enough for this…?
Although Sungjin had said he was doing it because he wanted something out of it, it seemed like he was just trying to make her feel better about the situation.
His warm heart that tried to take care of her feelings right before he would head to his possible death was so charming.
That’s right, so there’s only one thing I could do for him. She decided to give Sungjin what he wanted but what she had refused earlier. Sooryung stood up and started to unb.u.t.ton her clothes. Her clothes slipped down and showed her pink underwear and her soft skin. It was her precious body that she didn’t allow anyone to have until now.
“Wait!”
While Sungjin didn’t know what to do, she leaned her head on his chest. “You don’t need to say anything.”
“That’s…”
“I know. When tonight is over, and if everything works out as we planned, we will be parted. I know that.” She knew that they were heading toward different directions, which was why she rejected Sungjin. She told herself it was because she was too jealous of the many girls he already had, only to find an excuse to be with him. She already admired and adored him. She even wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, but she couldn’t say that or admit it, because it was impossible to have it. She knew it was an impossible hope that she didn’t want to cultivate, but now, it didn’t really matter. “Before you head down this dangerous path, I want you to feel me and relax.”
“That’s…”
“Although I don’t have much experience, I will do my best to serve you, so do whatever you wish to do to me.”
It was a secret rendezvous in the middle of the night. A beautiful naked girl was offering Sungjin to do whatever he wanted to do to her.
Sungin’s young and healthy body was excited. Whatever the circ.u.mstances were, her body was amazing. It was a body that was starting to blossom and show its own unique beauty for that age. Her skin was soft, and its scent was secretive.
But Sungin suppressed his desire and stopped his hand that had been about to touch her. “No, you are too young and…”
“But don’t you know? You can a.s.sume how many years I’ve stayed here.”
She was right. This world was a prison that stopped physical time. She looked like a middle school student, but she must be older than Sungjin. At least she would be a legal adult with her age. She just looked young with a young body.
“Take me. I know you are taking the most difficult path for us, and this is the least I can offer you.” She offered her body to Sungjin, and Sungjin’s heavy breaths answered to it.
“But… still… this is not right… I shouldn’t take you… like this…”
“I wasn’t honest with you.” Sooryung almost melted Sungjin with her smile. “I want to serve you even if it’s just one night. I want you to remember me when you go back to your world. Let me have tonight with you.” It was a half excuse that she wanted to thank Sungjin with her body. She really wanted to thank him, but she also wanted to have a deep physical connection with this guy. She knew that they couldn’t be together, but she wanted to do something before they said goodbye.
I want to spend an intimate night with this n.o.ble conqueror, even if it’s only for one night.
Snap! Something inside Sungjin just snapped. A young and brave lion started to roar.
Even if it’s just for one night, I want to have the memory of being your woman.
A beautiful woman was begging him to have her. He couldn’t say no to her. He wanted to forget about everything and take her offer. He wanted her, too.
It was a private moment for them. They had fought against a strong enemy together with their lives. It was beyond right or wrong; they merely wanted to create a memory to remember each other.
Sungjin held Sooryung tightly in his arms.
“Ahh…” He hadn’t done anything, but she had already started to tremble. It was her first time bring with a guy, so her body was excited with expectation but also slightly stiff with fear.
But Sungjin softly stroked her to relax her. While touching her back, Sungjin’s lips covered her lips.
“Huh… hmm…” Surprised, she closed her lips, but that only lasted for a second. Just like melting ice, Sungjin’s steamy kiss opened her mouth, and her lips opened like a full blossom. Their lips joined together, and they shared breaths. Giving everything to Sungjin, she closed her eyes.
The beast enjoyed looking at the beautiful body following his leads, but that was only the beginning.
The real conquering started to begin. The capital was there, and it wasn’t resisting. All he had to do was take it and get into it, but Sungjin stopped and released her from his arms. “Let’s keep this as our memory.”
Sooryung opened her eyes. “Why?” She looked at Sungjin slowly. “I’m not attractive enough…?”
“No way. I am really excited now.” His body couldn’t lie.
“Then why…?”
“I can’t take care of you anymore, so it’s not the right thing to just take you for one night.” He picked up her clothes to cover her. “I will remember you forever. Let’s stop here.”
“I am fine. I have no plans to ask you to take care of me.”
“I know, so I really appreciate your offer.”
A memory of one night—she loved him that much, and that made him so happy.
“You are here. Inside.” He pointed to his heart. “So, from this point on, I want to do what I think is right.” Sungjin smiled to not to make her feel insulted. “I know how much you love me, and I really like you, too, so I want you to save it until you meet someone that you would want to spend your life with.”
He definitely wanted to have her. He wanted to forget about all the things he had said and what was right or wrong to take her beautiful body that excited him so much, but desire wasn’t everything. He wanted to do something for her, rather than follow his own physical desire, especially for this girl who had fought hard in this terrible world to find one last hope.
“Is that so?” Sooryung pulled up her clothes, thinking there was nothing she could do.
“Thank you. I will remember this night even when we are apart.”
“Me too. Whatever happens to me in the future, I will never forget this moment.” Because you were the one who took my heart for the first time. And I really hoped we could be together.
“Then I should go now.”
“Okay. Goodnight.”
“Do what we planned?”
“Sure. I will thoroughly prepare it. And I wish you good luck on your way.”
“Thanks.”
Sungjin waved his hand and left the room. Huh. He leaned on the wall and took a deep breath.
He had pretended he had been okay, but he was actually still quite excited. It wouldn’t be easy to calm down all night.
Did I do something stupid? His blood was boiling hot, and he could still taste her lips. But it was the right thing to do. He decided not to regret it. Good. This is a great memory. Now, I need to concentrate on the battle.
He had told her it would be possible, but there was no guarantee. He had to cross the dangerous bridge by himself. n.o.body could help him, but he couldn’t step back. Because everybody is waiting. Also, he had to get even with his enemy, and everyone in this world was counting on him.
He had so many reasons why he had to win this fight.
