Episode 114. Short Companionship: Ha Yoon-ha (2)
Early morning.
Sunlight began to shine on the ruined city.
And the building reverberated with the sound of a woman’s shriek.
“Gyaaaaaaah-! … … Eww! Don’t do it! Please don’t do it! B-Please. Please don’t do it!”
“Stay still. Rest. Be quiet.”
Bam-!
Su-eun Lee, startled, took off the coat she was covering herself with and looked around.
When she turned her head at the suspicious noise, she saw a man running towards Ha Yoon-ha.
The man’s eyes were red and bloodshot.
Then he started to grab Ha Yoon-ha’s top and rip it off.
“Stay still. Stay still. Stay still… …!”
“Please… … . I beg you. Don’t do it. Please… … .”
“I’m going to die anyway. I’m going to die anyway!!!”
At that moment, Lee Su-eun picked up a club and hit the man on the head.
Phew!
“Keuk… … !”
The man fell to the side, bleeding.
And then he screamed as if in pain.
“Eww! Oh my god! Seriously!”
Ha Yoon-ha, who was sobbing, quickly approached Lee Su-eun and hid behind her legs.
The man with the burst lip looked up at Lee Su-eun while wiping the blood with the back of his hand.
“Captain… … . What is it? Yes? Does it hurt?”
“… … What are you doing here? Get out of here quietly.”
Lee Su-eun ordered the man while still holding the club.
The man was a warrior during his time.
He was glaring at Lee Su-eun as if he was going to kill her.
Then he laughed in vain and answered.
“What is the captain doing here? Those bastard police officers are attacking Beomgye Station after passing Buheung High School… … What is the captain doing here with a brat!!! He’s a man who shouldn’t be fighting on the front lines! So what is he doing here!!!”
“… … .”
News that Kang Shi-on’s army is attacking Beomgye Station.
At that news, Ha Yoon-ha, who was hiding behind Lee Su-eun, flinched.
Man-gyeong is winning.
It was not in vain that he stayed here and passed on information.
As that thought crossed Ha Yoon’s mind, she felt a sense of relief.
Because he thought he was helpful to Zion.
At that moment, the man took out a knife from behind his back and aimed it at Lee Su-eun.
“Captain… … . Now you’re acting nice. I just saw Captain… … . You killed several people?”
“… … It was the monarch’s order.”
Lee Su-eun’s voice trembled.
At the same time, her body was also trembling.
It was so obvious to Ha Yoon-ha, who was holding onto Lee Su-eun’s clothes.
The man snickered and laughed.
“What is that? You couldn’t help it? Ah- No. It’s just that you’re a piece of human trash just like me. Where in the world can you find a guy who hasn’t killed anyone? You can’t go to heaven anyway. You’re going to hell anyway. Let’s have some fun.”
The man took a step towards Lee Su-eun.
The knife was still in his hand.
Seeing this, Lee Su-eun reached out and pushed Ha Yoon-ha away. Then, she gripped the club she was holding tighter.
Lee Su-eun had no intention of giving up.
“Why is this happening… … . Our captain… … . is suddenly protecting everyone… … . But… … . your daughter who got lost isn’t coming back, right? Rumors have spread. This lady. Huh? You. Cry like a ghost every night? No, f*ck. It’s not a monster. It’s just that the kids wet their pants because of your sobbing. Or what. Is that it? An unbecoming guilt trip? Hey f*ck, you old bitch. Just tell me one thing. It’s not even funny.”
The man approached Lee Su-eun again.
“… … .”
“A villain is a villain to the end. If you know this… … Get out of the way, you old bitch. You won’t eat even if I give it to you.”
Lee Su-eun muttered.
So that only Ha Yoon-ha, who is right behind you, can hear it.
“… … hide under the counter.”
“What the hell are you talking about!”
Hwaak-!
The man rushed at Lee Su-eun, holding a sword.
Then Lee Su-eun screamed.
“behind-!”
At her screams, Ha Yoon ran under the counter.
Crunch-!
The man’s sword narrowly brushed Lee Su-eun’s neck.
“Yeah. One of us is going to die today! Hey!!!”
The man continued to swing his sword.
Ha Yoon-ha, who had been hiding under the counter, went even deeper into hiding.

Then he crouched down and covered his head with both hands.
Cruel sounds continued to be heard inside the store.
Ha Yoon-ha covered her head and trembled.
“… … I don’t like it. I don’t like it anymore.”
Crazy world, crazy people, crazy situations.
Hayun closed her eyes tightly and waited until she could no longer hear any sound.
The fight between the two didn’t last long.
* * *
“Phew… … . Heuheu… … . Phew… … .”
Lee Su-eun walked slowly.
Blood was dripping from the stab wounds all over my body, but I couldn’t stop it.
Ha Yoon-ha clung to her from the side.
Yoon-ha brought the cleanest rag she could find and tried to apply it to Lee Soo-eun’s wound.
But Lee Soo-eun pushed Yoon-ha away.
Bang!
Ha Yoon-ha fell to the side, but the rag was saved.
From the filth and mud that piled up on the floor.
Ha Yoon-ha, who got up again, bravely approached Lee Su-eun and covered her wound with a rag.
Then, Lee Su-eun opened her mouth, which had been tightly shut.
“I said, “Enough!” Leave me alone!
But this time, Yoon-ha did not back down.
“No! Stay still! You’re not a kid! Why are you being so stubborn!”
Yoon-ha bandaged Lee Su-eun’s wound.
Even though it was called a bandage, it was nothing more than a long piece of clean shirt.
Kwaaak-!
“Ugh… … .”
Lee Su-eun let out a soft moan, and Ha Yoon-ha pressed harder on the wound.
The bleeding in my arm was somewhat stopped.
Ha Yoon-ha immediately walked in the opposite direction and began bandaging the wound on her other arm.
“… … .”
Now, having given up, Lee Soo-eun remained silent, allowing Yoon-ha to receive treatment.
Ha Yoon-ha finished the treatment by tearing off the shirt with her teeth.
“… … Phew … … Phew.”
After completing the first aid, Yoon-ha stepped back and looked up at Lee Soo-eun, and Lee Soo-eun also slightly turned her head to look at Ha Yoon-ha.
Yoon-ha looked at her quietly and then took a step forward.
Originally, Lee Su-eun was always in the lead, but now Ha Yoon-ha has started to take the lead with strides.
“Follow me. It’s around here.”
Ha Yoon-ha then headed to the monarch’s prison.
“… … .”
Lee Su-eun quietly touched her wounds and then followed her.
* * *
Lee Su-eun had one goal.
Traveling around the city and freeing the monarch’s slaves.
This has already been my 13th day of companionship with Ha Yoon-ha.
So far, 85 slaves have been freed by Lee Su-eun and Ha Yoon-ha.
And the two people who luckily found cup ramen in the monarch’s warehouse decided to take a break at a bus stop that still retained its shape.
A fire was built between the rocks and a military helmet was placed on top.
Lee Su-eun brought water from somewhere and poured it on the bulletproof helmet.
The person in charge of not putting out the fire was Ha Yoon-ha.
“Phew-. Phew-.”
I had seen it somewhere, so I put my cheek on the ground and blew air toward the sparks.
As the flames blazed, Yoon-ha coughed and shed tears from the pungent smoke.
Lee Su-eun opened the cup ramen and put the noodles in the boiling water.
Then Ha Yoon-ha was startled.
“Ah! You should put the soup in first. That way, the broth will come out.”
“doesn’t care.”
Taltaltal-.
Lee Su-eun poured the soup onto the noodles.
Whether you put the noodles in first or the soup first.
The smell of ramen cooking deliciously in the bulletproof vest was truly the scent of paradise.
Lee Su-eun wandered through the ruined city looking for something she could use as chopsticks.
Then, I took a wiper from a scrap car and broke it to make chopsticks.
Bubble bubble bubble.
The red broth ramen inside the bulletproof vest was cooked to an appetizing degree.
Yoon-ha, who was looking at it, looked up at Lee Su-eun blankly.
Lee Su-eun said that to Yoon-ha.
“If you like it less cooked, eat it first.”
At that sound, Hayoon quickly started eating the ramen.
Slurp, slurp.
Yoon-ha ate ramen noodles well with wiper chopsticks.
Lee Su-eun looked at the sight, took a few bites herself, and then put down her chopsticks.
Yoon-ha lifted the entire bulletproof helmet and drank the soup.
Lee Su-eun took a cigarette and started smoking.
He asked, tying his bushy hair back with a rubber band and smoking a cigarette.
“But you. Aren’t you scared of me?”
This was the first time that Lee Soo-eun asked Yoon-ha a question.
Yoon-ha put down her bulletproof helmet and looked at Lee Soo-eun.
His face was covered in scars.
There were scratches from the knife, as well as torn skin and burn marks.
It was a visual that could not help but be scary.
He looked like a vicious bandit from a movie. No, he looked like a dark, wandering knight who had been roaming around lawless areas for a long time.
She was also carrying a logging sword on her back, and the aura she gave off was quite different from that of other warriors.
When Yoon-ha didn’t answer for a while, Lee Soo-eun exhaled smoke from her cigarette and looked at Yoon-ha again.
Yoon-ha instinctively lowered her eyes and answered.
“It’s scary. That lady… … . She kills people easily… … . And above all, she’s from Dong-an-gu. And she’s the leader. I’m scared. People from Dong-an-gu.”
“Please leave out the killing part. It’s become a familiar thing to everyone now.”
Just like a student goes to school, an office worker goes to work, eats, or sleeps.
Nowadays, the world is one where murder is familiar.
But Ha Yoon-ha shook her head.
“I’ve never killed anyone before.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
“Really! I never did that. I swear.”
“… … .”
It was hard to believe.
Since the League began, there has never been a single human being who has committed murder.
Even if someone told her, she probably wouldn’t have believed it, but Lee Su-eun decided to believe it.
Taltal-.
Lee Su-eun shook off the ash from her cigarette and lay back.
Knock, knock.
Sparks flew from the fire burning the bulletproof vest, creating a soft noise.
Lee Su-eun, who was quietly looking at the sky, asked.
“What kind of person is your lord?”
“Your Majesty? He is truly amazing. He is truly amazing. Do you know what happened? You know, ma’am, in round 2. It was so cold. But our Majesty? At first I thought he was my friend, but he looks so young. He’s seven years older than me! No, back to the main topic? In order to overcome the cold, the Majesty… … .”
Ha Yoon-ha began to pour out praise for the king as if a flood had burst.
Lee Su-eun didn’t listen to Yoon-ha’s story.
Lee Su-eun was one of the few warriors who saw the face of the Man-gyeong monarch.
During the second round, Lee Su-eun had seen Kang Si-on when she went out to reconnaissance.
He was a fairly young man.
Ha Yoon-ha, who had been talking about the monarch for a long time, declared to Lee Su-eun.
“Anyway, I’m not scared of you anymore, ma’am.”
“… … .”
“You even covered me with a blanket yesterday.”
“… … .”
“Only good people do that.”
“… … .”
“And you helped me.”
“… … .”
“You are the third nicest person I have ever met.”
Ha Yoon-ha picked up the ramen crumbs stuck to her bulletproof helmet with her fingers and ate them.
Good people, good and people.
Lee Su-eun felt that those two words were incongruous.
Because I thought those two words no longer had any meaning in this world.
There is nothing good, and no one good.
Everyone is just a beast.
Occasionally, there were those who looked human.
But when they are in an extreme situation, they tend to show their beastly teeth and growl.
Lee Su-eun turned over.
Ha Yoon-ha was still heaping praise on the monarch.
“… … But then, the lord is dragging something. Do you know what it is? It’s huge… … !”
“… … I’m not good.”
Low voice.
Yoon-ha looked at the back of Lee Su-eun’s head as she lay down.
“… … I’m not good.”
Lee Su-eun repeated the same words in the same tone.
“… … I’m not good.”
Ha Yoon-ha remained silent.
Lee Su-eun repeated what she had said like a broken robot.
“… … I’m not good.”
Lee Su-eun bent her back and began to sob.
She was holding tightly to her cross necklace.
Ha Yoon-ha had no choice but to remain silent at that sight.
The bonfire began to die down.
Night soon came.
* * *
Creak! Creak!
Those who had been imprisoned came out with tears in their eyes.
“Thank goodness… … ! Ah… … !”
“Thank you… … . Thank you, sir.”
They ran in all directions, nodding their heads repeatedly.
Lee Su-eun muttered as she unlocked the iron door.
“Is this the end?”
Although he hadn’t intended to hear it, Yoon-ha heard her muttering and answered.
“Yes. This is the last one.”
“Yes. You too are liberated. If you go to Beomgye Station now, you will see the soldiers of Man-gyeong. If you are a citizen of Man-gyeong, you will know where to go, right? Now go.”
Lee Su-eun turned around without saying a word.
There wasn’t even a hint of hesitation.
“Oh, over there, over there.”
At that moment, Ha Yoon-ha grabbed Lee Su-eun who was walking away.
And he asked carefully.
“Would you like to come with me, Madam? If it is for our Lord, you too can become a citizen of Man-gyeong. I will help you. If I ask you, Madam… … .”
“The King of Man-Gyeong… … that brown-haired man?”
Swish-.
Lee Su-eun turned around and spoke to Ha Yoon-ha.
“That man is a monster. He would easily throw away another person’s life if it was for his own purpose… … .”
“Your Majesty, there’s no way that would happen!”
Ha Yoon-ha shouted, interrupting Lee Su-eun’s words.
But Lee Su-eun continued to speak stubbornly.
“That won’t happen? I wonder if that’s true. If he really cared about you, he wouldn’t have sent you here.”
Lee Su-eun finished speaking with a frown.
“Don’t trust anyone. The person you trust won’t trust you.”
“… … .”
After leaving those words, Lee Su-eun walked forward again.
As she walked between the buildings, she stopped for a moment and looked back at Ha Yoon-ha.
Ha Yoon-ha was still standing there, looking at herself.
But even that was only for a moment, as Lee Su-eun hurried her steps.
She now began to look for a place to throw away her life.
* * *
The sun was setting between the half-collapsed buildings, and it didn’t take long for Lee Soo-eun to disappear from Yoon-ha’s sight.
“… … .”
Ha Yoon-ha stood there silently, looking at the street where Lee Soo-eun had disappeared.
Then he turned around too.
He was going to leave anyway.
Although there was something on her mind, Ha Yoon-ha tried hard to ignore it.
She now wanted to return to Man-gyeong.
I wanted to see Choi Hyun-ji, and I also wanted to see the neighbors in the same neighborhood.
Of course, I also wanted to hear the monarch’s praise.
Yoon-ha walked through the ruined city center.
It was not hard to see warriors running around from time to time, and small, unidentified monsters also popped their heads out here and there.
Arriving near Beomgye Station to avoid their gaze, Yoon-ha took a deep breath and took a short break.
And then ‘the guy’ showed up.
“D- D- Uh-. You’re alone-?”
Ugh-.
A hand suddenly appeared out of thin air and grabbed Ha Yoon-ha by the neck.
“?!”
And then the body of the ‘guy’ that had been transparent until now began to reveal itself.
A man with a skinny upper body that exposed his ribs. His hair was flying in all directions, and his legs, clad only in shorts, looked as if they could break at any moment.
But the bastard’s eyes were completely different.
The bastard looked at Ha Yoon-ha as if he was going to eat her at any moment and flicked his tongue.
“We… … . Heheheehe! The game we couldn’t play last time… … . Kickkickkickk! Should we… … ? Kkackakakak! It’ll be fun… … It definitely will be fun!”
The guy was a player during that time, Lee Jong-won.
