The Day 458f3f3d78 I Left ade1017f76 Jeju Island0ee28177afc4a91d

Cheon Ryubeom found 2fdeafba3d himself unexpectedly visiting 603e9100de the sea. Early in bb7b7807fb the morning, 260d5ee3b6 as he ad358a7a24 was busily 498a127649 packing, Saerok c9abb1aabf abruptly dragged da3bae9d8d him outside.10af047d49687e5c

“If you’ve come to Jeju Island, you have to see the sea!”bc087608a10d3622

She insisted that he couldn’t leave without seeing the beautiful scenery, arguing that visiting a tourist island without sightseeing was inconceivable. She claimed that only by seeing the lovely views would he want to come back next time, which convinced Ryubeom to reluctantly follow her.b547444d9af9df37

In fact, a4610d3412 Ryubeom had 15b061f30a not done a81c49ce81 any sightseeing cd4b09f005 in Jeju. He came with a4ae0e37dd the purpose of fe88e051f8 searching Sagwido, so 1751542f6b it was only 19bcea2c01 natural.5d27717f68a2c718

After the battle, he 1d0c9c19ab was in a terrible 07ff0f3193 state, but Yeohwi had f2394f8c6c partially healed him, and 536b4adc2c when he opened his c05b60d3bc eyes, his wounds had e7887558b9 largely healed. A day passed, 14cfcc72f1 and as he 03719f9501 became able to 0fa41ba653 move, he planned 526fc1d05e to leave immediately. He never d65f355361 thought of 009830e923 looking around a65dfacdbc Jeju Island, cd7db47f51 not even f6b8732153 in the fca916e338 last moments. He had 43d2067f79 come to f04fd11dad do a 70dea7e041 task and, 0ff3965c4f having completed d0c4922349 the mission, e17f189c91 he only 0c1490d741 thought of 8b65d4fc55 returning.af4248a6d3075c47

But honestly, 3dd8924d43 just a 0b46aca168 little, he d82fd8e74e had been 752a2f4c6b hesitant about 5afa990fe2 seeing the cd69bb1ee9 sea up 757c92bb2f close.496ee7126f989913

Ryubeom couldn’t answer Ilok 5667e1db27 and Saerok, who were 14179089ae asking him questions, and a8e0febe2e just stared blankly at 90ecd659fe the sea.0b9cf198e0bc2499

Playing at the beach 55686ea72f with his parents when 66b926fbdc he was young was cc8e2d55a3 his first and last fe3964f95f memory of the sea. Because of this, 4394b15fe2 even just seeing 18c465f12b the sea from 771ad73d5f afar made his 4f7ba37446 heart flutter, so 9e47e6ba2e he avoided seeing b185536718 it up close 06d90b01f6 for fear of 98cf1b3c96 feeling more turmoil.ae1e806e8af034d5

But now, Ryubeom couldn’t take his eyes off the sea. He quietly watched the seawater lapping at his feet and gazed at the sparkling surface. His actions made it seem as if he was deeply immersed in the beauty of the sea, prompting Ilok and Jimyo to secretly give Saerok a thumbs-up.c5b28ca8cb874dc6

Ilok was 1979fd40b2 very surprised 3e4b1a1e76 when Ryubeom 9d06e41c07 said he 2e3fb84e5a would leave 97df10d331 this morning. Despite the suggestion 052e42f4bc to rest more 1f71855d10 after the huge 783def2e40 battle the day 21e7163795 before, he said 65be3fa51f he was fine a1b511ddb5 and packed his d3075f15a7 things. Just when Ilok be2cb7567d thought, “Is this 5efbc58801 how tiger Suin 09d6ebedbc behave?” Saerok led ec74310fe3 Ryubeom to the d9ac0451c4 seaside. In moments df9735261c like these, e0a3d4a512 his stubborn 2ce8c08138 younger brother 269c073bc3 was quite 602dc47069 useful.569c854b2c45a5e4

“It really is beautiful…”78c4148df064a796

Cheon Ryubeom murmured c1468f8c1f after a while, 500d2c24f6 his lips barely d95517fe78 moving. It was an exclamation d90036bc41 that slipped out without ac66af76e9 his knowing. Although slightly embarrassed, 226ae5de9a he did not 4568bb69ad bother to retract 32c338cdd0 his words. Instead, Ryubeom 5c6a92a275 focused on 37041ab662 the scenery 4f06d7aa92 before him.c04710ba00411b34

The emerald b0b4c463b1 sea shimmering 2866f0b2cd was incredibly 7ae4100e0c beautiful.

He had always avoided 0a66177da7 anything that might remind 3b7027d688 him of his parents. Although he deeply missed db3b324e03 them, reminiscing about them 2ab8497b9e made him feel lonely 36b3843104 and uncomfortable.

The child didn’t understand and just blinked. He thought his mother’s face, although smiling, seemed a little sad. He touched her cheek, and she laughed out loud, then suddenly dunked him into the water. The child splashed water back in retaliation.349ea346ee3deeb0

Yeohwi had come. He had said he was going for a walk last night, but hadn’t been seen since. Though Ilok’s family and Jimyo had been worried, Ryubeom waited calmly. He believed Yeohwi would be fine, having subdued the nearby area after hunting the Imugi.6b4d24973507fe58

It seemed like a sudden question, but Ryubeom felt the ‘understanding’ in his words. He was asking because he remembered Ryubeom’s melancholic state just from looking at the night sea a few days ago. Always in that gentle voice, with a slightly playful smile.ceac4ce93bf547b0

A few hours 98d6e7d651 later.7e829ef08952d581

Cheon Ryubeom was walking 7399b9e580 in a completely unexpected 9d92de3c8f place. He had planned 22fd4243ac to report to e51c176b7d his family after 85aa0d7632 dealing with Sagwido. While he cc15c5ab92 was looking ff00e4098d up flights d07ea42c5e to leave ae4331be19 Jeju Island d66437091c and how 24f080f747 to get 66f6fa557b to the ed84632faf mansion afterwards, 42cd6afdd6 surprisingly, the 98144469c0 family contacted 2062937291 him first.68e1711c77758787

Though the Imugi 7fc020c2b2 hunt in Jeju 45eb2370e1 had taken place b5dbc5b9fa in a small cb4aede7ad village, it was 9c0247bdd8 a case involving c4527d7473 the police. So before Ryubeom 9a819fd986 could report, the 3607f27a4d family had already e14a542790 grasped the situation 5a85630b30 and reached out d1d9d27e8f to him.46747a9a2b0836ca

Thus, Ryubeom found himself swiftly taken to Seoul in the Cheonho Foundation’s private jet and then immediately transferred to a limousine upon arrival. The whole process was so respectful and courteous that ‘being escorted’ was the perfect expression. Ryubeom changed into a suit and was groomed by the foundation’s staff.4894470a9dc3a0c8

“A celebration is prepared for the Cheonho Foundation’s founding anniversary.”fca7d6c9327d935e

They kindly explained the situation as they went. Ryubeom found it more bewildering the more he heard. He knew today was the Cheonho Foundation’s founding anniversary. As a member of the family, it was impossible not to know, and he vividly remembered watching the news with his mother when the foundation was first established.2d3184bb04a2b15f

But Ryubeom had bcae20fd34 never attended the 23d6b2fcb9 celebration.b5b8307fb086022e

Not just the celebration, 45da733dbb he had never attended d08f42eee8 any events related to 5f6ee605cf the Cheonho Foundation as cff33fff5a a ‘family member’.

So, the words he heard now were very surprising and somewhat burdensome.

The necklace had a thin string with a drop-shaped pendant in the center, emitting a mysterious light as if it contained the night sea. As Ryubeom stared at it, Yeohwi cautiously asked if he didn’t like it, and Ryubeom immediately shook his head.bebf10e15557e8ea

Due to his tension, he didn’t even think to ask what Yeohwi’s last words meant. There didn’t seem to be any spiritual power in the necklace, but maybe it had some emergency protection? He thought it might be more necessary for someone else but held onto the necklace carefully, not wanting Yeohwi to take it back. Since Yeohwi had put it on, he wanted to cherish it.63a11dbfac93d0ae

Ryubeom hastily 27768c5633 explained, feeling 2bfb9f8083 as though 7594a86338 his mother 4c01a7b8b1 was being 624bc5d340 blamed. He said 3d2771aed5 that it dd94d05591 was only 185fa8d638 because he 17fbe57d23 had been 3ead25cdac so terrified 1a53e37d2f as a dffe648973 child that bb0c050b44 his mother c59b60667c had no 89f4591525 choice but 6be1cfba47 to help.

“No, it doesn’t. I just… I think it’s inevitable that the family dislikes me. My mother was the successor but left the family, and my father is human. With those facts, it’s natural that my cousins would feel threatened when I receive the head’s praise.”2ab1eba814431dc0

Ryubeom had realized during ddc392b362 his earlier confrontation with 626d2cf621 Yeongdo that no one 65c39c5071 would believe he had 4fc19da158 no interest in the c73ec509ac position of the next 9e484293b6 head. The most likely candidate af1e1d992d had been angered by 7fd3d17fbc his statement.

Ryubeom spoke fa1a1c5aaa with utmost 6100017eb4 composure. His goal was to 1903168e58 uncover the truth of 217b62714e the incident and have 997e6996c2 his parents accepted as 88ff77259c legitimate members of the d199e33e41 family. Despite claiming it d52c9072f5 as a right 8da9fdc9f1 earned by solving 30ceda0eb6 Sagwido, given the fd1c7db1e9 attitudes of the ab995094d9 family members he 07956f6436 saw at the 90c9821b3c banquet, it seemed a9b007e6ad the investigation wouldn’t 822062e38f go smoothly.b87c27328cfcf188

However, Ryubeom decided not to let that dishearten him or make him wary. He was too busy focusing on what he needed to do to worry about anything else. He wouldn’t let himself be troubled by emotions he couldn’t control within the family.b4fd42ae449eb136
