Absolute Advantage - Chapter 43.2

‘Well, I’m not a strange person……!’

She doesn’t know if she’s just weird.

‘I know it sounds weird to say this myself, but I’m not a strange person…….’

In addition, she kept saying things that were only less persuasive, but she was tired of her own excuses and bowed her head.

‘Okay, let’s go.’

‘!’

But Bora nodded reluctantly, as she was not going to leave until she said yes.

So the two arrived in front of the police station. However, the woman did not enter the police station and kept touching the wallet.

When she saw her exceptionally white skin turning red to her ears, she saw through it.

This woman is so tactless.

She can’t even act.

‘This is actually….’

“Actually?”

‘Actually, it’s my wallet. I’m sorry I lied.’

The woman bowed her head.

Bora burst into laughter as she stared blankly at the scene. It was so funny and sad that she crouched down until the laughter turned into crying.

‘Hic…’

The woman stood by her in silence. Bora cried for a long time and sprang up.

‘I know it was a lie.’

‘D-did you know that?’

The woman stared at Bora with her eyes wide open. Then why did you follow me all the way here? Her feelings were penetrated into the light brown eyes.

‘Cause I think you want to save me.’

‘……!’

‘I want to live, too.’

‘…….’

While standing awkwardly again, the child in the stomach knocked on the stomach. Bora solidified with her belly wrapped in the fetal movement she had never felt before.

“Are you okay?”

‘Oh… It’s a fetus. I’m actually pregnant. I just got fetal movement. It’s called fetal movement, right?’

“Yes, yes. Fetal movement. I think it’s right.’

The two women talked awkwardly as if they had first spoken of the words pregnancy and fetal movement.

‘Would you like to touch it?’

‘!’

The woman timidly approached Bora. Bora grabbed her gently stretched wrist and took it to her stomach. Soon a small sound came through the palm of the hand.

“Oh.”

“It moved, right?”

‘Yes, it moved!’

The woman said she was running a small volunteer group. Her name is Haewon.

Haewon’s first impression was like that to her.

Someone who can’t lie, has no knack but looks around better than anyone else. A person who stares beyond the sight of others

Nothing in this world is given for granted.

However, among the countless people who passed Bora on the bridge that day, only Hae-won noticed her in danger and talked to her as if it was natural.

Let’s live. Let’s not die like this.

She only remembered the not-too-distant old memories, but Bora’s nose was sour. However, she added with a brave smile, conscious of Hae-won’s worried gaze.

“Not anymore.”

She no longer felt guilty. Bora was saved by Haewon that day –  her clumsy kindness moved her.

Hae-won held Bora’s hand without saying a word.

Sometimes the warmth of others permeates the mind faster than words. The two thought at the same time that this was the time.

“Are you eavesdropping?”

“What do you mean by eavesdropping? I’m hearing a lot of things at Haewon’s workplace.”

“Ordinary people call it a crime.”

“Too bad. I’m not normal.”

Adam took off the earphones one by one and put them down on his desk. Then he put his chin on the back of his forelocked hand.

“You sound like you’ve never committed a crime in your life.”

“I’m a civilian now.”

Now, Li Yu-yen emphasized.

“No, everything else aside. Stop monitoring Seo Hae-won, alright? What are you going to do if you get caught later?”

“Do you think I’ll get caught?”

Adam asked back shamelessly.

“……I don’t know about people. Haa, that’s good, and it’s up to you.”

Li Yu-yen shook his head as if he were sick of it. Adam stared at Li Yu-yen and snapped his open mouth.

“Starting tomorrow, I’ll go to work at Seohwa Welfare.”

“What?”

“I don’t do anything these days.”

“That’s true. What’s up with Seohwa Welfare?”

Li Yu-yen frowned sharply.

Is it related to eavesdropping on Seo Hae-won just now? As far as he knew, Seo Ellie’s problem ended well. Then why? It was frustrating to see what Adam was up to.

“A fly got twisted.”

The subject was omitted, but the context was Seo Hae-won. What about the fly?

When he peeked at Adam, he didn’t look like he would answer even if he asked him. Irritation and discomfort were evident from his expression as if he didn’t want to speak.

“Don’t you want to go in person?”

“It’s so obvious when I go to her.”

“Are you jealous?”

Adam’s eyebrows wiggled at the word jealousy.
