Chapter 37: The Night Before the Storm
It's been a while since we had dinner.
After walking around excitedly in Busan for a day, we came into the hotel to take a rest.
The most expensive five-star hotel in Busan, "The Signature" hotel.
Personally, I don't like the fact that Busan's iconic hotel name is English. Let's say it in Korean. There's a good Korean word for "sign" instead of "signature" though.
…Come to think of it, the autograph doesn't seem to be Korean either. No, isn't that what the signature means? I don't know. Let's just go in.
The lobby inside was very big and antique. It's like a space where hundreds of people can fit in. Soobin told me that she would keep our luggage for now, and Seo-eun and I headed to the front desk to check in. Seo-eun made a reservation, so Seo-eun went with me.
"Welcome. What's the name of the person who made the reservation?"
"Oh, it should be Han Seo-eun."
"Yes, it's confirmed. I will give you the key to 2708.”
"…Is there only one room?"
"Yes, you reserved only one room."
"Oh, yes…"
I trudged out of the lobby with a card key and asked Seo-eun next to me.
"Seoeun, why did you choose one room?""
In my questionable gaze, Seo-eun said while avoiding my eyes.
"Well, it's good to save money…"
"Why do we have to save money? When you and I put it together, it's money that overflows."
"The bed is super king, so just come and sleep!"
"Seo-eun? And there's only one bed?”
When I looked at Seo-eun in a hurry, Soobin, who was next to me, came and hugged Seo-eun and said.
"It'd be nice if the three of us slept together after a long time. Whoo-hoo, I'm looking forward to it."
"Well… We have never slept together before…"
They didn't listen to me and went to the elevator.
My authority as the head of the family…
***
"Wow, the room is so big!"
Seo-eun, who came into the hotel room, ran around and admired.
It's nice to see her eyes twinkle like this after her time sitting in front of the computer all day.
As expected, a student should go out and play a little bit.
"Wow, there's a warm bath."
Soobin, who entered the bathroom, also opened her eyes wide and said.
Is it because it's a five-star hotel?
It was the biggest and widest hotel I have ever been to in my life.
Every piece of furniture is made of wood that looks like it's worth tens of millions of won if you accidentally burn it.
I don't think we should ever play with fire in this hotel. Oh, we just can’t play with fire, right?
"The night view is wonderful."
I removed the curtains. Perhaps because it's a high floor, the view overlooks the night view of downtown Busan. I can also see the waves of the night sea far away.
"Wow, the TV is really big."
I was amazed by the TV in the bed room. The TV in our base is not this size either, should we change one?
But in the meantime, there was really only one bed. Of course, the size is so big that it looks like four beds are stuck together… Did she really have to reserve a single-bed?
I said first to those who were clueless with the luggage.
"Let's pack up first, wash up, have some fun, and go to bed."
I'm tired because I have been walking around all day.
***
So everyone washed up, and lay down on the bed.
Seo Eun lies in the middle, and Soobin and I lie next to each other.
We decided to lie down and watch TV and rest.
When I was changing the channel to see if there was anything fun, Seo-eun, who was looking at her phone next to me, opened her mouth.
"Da-in, bring me some water."
Huh? What?
Did I hear you wrong?
"Water."
But Seo-eun said one more time casually.
No, Seo-eun. Do you have hands or feet?
"Seo-eun…I can't believe you're trying to push me like that now. I raised you wrong. I should've raised you a little more strictly. Oh, my."
When I made a mischievous wail, Seo-eun waved her hand in embarrassment and said.
"No, it's not like that! You have telekinesis. Can you just take it out with that? Don't you just have to lift your hands?"
Oh, was it like that?
I thought that Seo Eun was a spoiled kid.
"Well, unfortunately, Seo-eun. Just get up and bring it."
"Hmm… Alright."
"No, it's because I have to save my energy.""
"Power? What does it mean?"
"Well…Did I not explain this? Let's see… You know, when you play RPG games, you know things like MP, right? Should I call it mana? The number that wizards have to fill in when they use magic."
"Oh, that one? The blue stick under the HP?
"Yes, that one. That's what my telekinesis is like. If I use it often, it's not as powerful as a claw machine. Why can I just not use it and just stay still? How can I say? Concentrating? If I do it, I get stronger. That's why I need to save my energy for a crisis."
Actually, the last time I wrote it was a few months ago when I was dealing with a crocodile, but now I feel pretty strong. Bearing is victory…!!
"Oh, now I know. I thought you were just using whatever you want. I will be back."
In that way, Seo-eun trudged toward the hotel's mini refrigerator.
I'm just going to watch the channel.
Variety show…News…
I just turned on the news.
Honestly, news is more fun in this world than entertainment shows.
On the news, a B-class villain. There's no way it's not fun when you do this.
When I turned on the news, there was a picture of a woman with blonde hair and a woman with long sky blue hair. Uh, on the left is Stardus. The one on the right is her. North Sea Ice Girl.
The voice of the anchor came out of the news.
[After Shadow Walker's report of coma, A-class Hero Stardus and Icicle of the association explained themselves as concerns about the security of the people continued. The two say they will be in a 24-hour emergency system, and as usual, Stardus will be in charge of Seoul and the metropolitan area, and Icicle will be in charge of Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gyeongnam, and Busan.]
Well, Stardus were originally in charge of Seoul and the North Sea Ice Girl was in charge of Busan, so that means that the two actually work 24 hours a day. I feel sorry for them.
The North Sea Ice Girl appears on the news with the official hero's name "Icicle” without anyone saying it yet. Well, it's only natural that North Korean ice woman got tinnitus after freezing North Korea in the second half.
While I briefly recalled the original work, the anchor continued.
[When the public expressed concern, saying, "How big is Korea? How big can it be covered with two?" The association said, "Make sure to have a baseball bat next to your bed in case of danger."]
….Still the association is like that.
Well, the association has always been like that, so there's nothing awkward about it. In my memory, the president of the association went around a little bit.
But the security must be a bit unstable. Should I prepare something?
"Da-in, are you watching the news again? You look like a real old man at times like this."
Seo-eun suddenly came back to her bed with a lot of negotiations. No, it's unfair. This may be your daily life, but I feel like I'm watching a movie.
"Oh? But that's not water. It's coke. Where did you get that?"
"Coke? I opened the mini bar and found it."
For a moment I almost screamed.
"Seo-eun! You can't drink that! Do you know how expensive the drinks and snacks are in the hotel minibar? The can you're drinking is probably 5,000 won."
When I said in surprise, Seo-eun shrugged her shoulders as if she was wondering why.
"It doesn't matter if it's 5,000 won or 50,000 won for a drink. We have a lot of money."
I was at a loss for words from Seo-eun.
Right, we have a lot of money, right?
Including the money I earned from the original knowledge since I fell into the world and the money Seo-eun made in the first place, it's a lot.
Maybe it's because I've been living like a small citizen for too long, but I forget about it.
"How much is this hotel in the first place? This is probably the most expensive of all the buildings in Busan It's the only five-star hotel here."
"Well, yes, drink a lot. Drink and brush your teeth."
"Oh, my. Am I a kid?”
Seo-eun complains to me with her cheeks swollen. Awe, you look like a kid right now.
Soobin just smiled quietly at us
*
"Oh my god… I'm sleepy now. Let's all go to bed."
How to get up early tomorrow and go to bed early to play.
So everyone brushed their teeth, turned off the lights, and lied down on their seats.
We all lied down together, but the bed was so big that it was not particularly uncomfortable.
But it's kind of weird to sleep under the same blanket.
It hasn't been long since I lied down, but I heard Soobin whispering quietly on the other side.
Are you asleep already? I fall asleep as soon as I lie down.
When I was lying with my eyes closed to sleep, Seo-eun, who was lying next to me, murmured quietly to see if she was still awake.
"Today was fun…"
"Hmm? Yeah, what was the most fun?"
"It was nice to see the sea, and it was fun to see the market… I think it would be good to hang out like this sometimes."
"Okay. Let's come out sometime."
If I could come out to play.
First, I've completed all the terrorist plans and Stardus growth projects in my head.
"Let's go to sleep if we want to have fun tomorrow."
"Yes…"
Seo-eun yawned once and lay down with her face buried in her belly.
I'm going to go to bed soon.
The hotel is so quiet, I think I will fall asleep soon.
And just like that, I fell into a deep sleep a few minutes later.
When I wake up tomorrow, the sun will be up, right?
***
But late at night, when the moon is still shining on the dark city, the hotel.
Thump.
Boom, boom, boom.
Heavy footsteps heard from all sides
Thump-
The sound of something popping somewhere.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Someone's scream, something breaking.
Bang
Knocking on our room, noise between floors.
"FBI OPEN UP!!!!"
And the shouting in front of the door.
"Fuck it…”
I woke up and murmured.
Why are you doing this to me?
