I Became a Mental Health Care Patient in the Apocalyptic Era

Episode 45-Sorry, Seo Yeon-ah

Park Soo-hyun and Lee Ju-eun are different people.

It was a very obvious thing, but I had overlooked this obvious thing until now and was working.

Park Soo-hyun is strong.

Unless you are a beginner playing for the first time, Park Soo-hyun at this point is stronger than anyone in the academy.

He can’t demonstrate overwhelming strength enough to subdue many by himself, but he still has enough power to say that he is the strongest person.

That’s why no one stops him even if he goes to another area by himself.

I don’t think he’ll be in danger just because he’s traveling alone.

However, Lee Ju-eun was weak.

Apparently, he had almost no power, and he couldn’t use magic or handle summoned beasts.

I could have taken the position as a buffer and a strategist, but both were positions where I could do nothing alone.

That’s why it was quite possible for him to follow me moving alone.

‘Since when did you follow me?’

Actually, there was no point in worrying about it.

I don’t have the ability to notice other people’s signs.

I have the ability to read people’s expressions and distinguish emotions, but I had no ability to intuit how close I was to me or how dangerous I was in a situation by hearing a sound coming from an invisible place.

‘But the Seeker has it.’

Looking at Seoyeon’s expression, it seems that she noticed everything that had happened up until now, but then she wouldn’t have been that far away from me, which also means that Seeker noticed Seoyeon.

Perhaps in the distant future, it would be impossible to fool the Seeker at the level of Seoyeon now.

Then it means that Seeker deliberately revealed himself to Seoyeon…

“Where did you start?”

“I’ve been following you ever since you left us.”

Seoyeon’s expression was quite cold.

Although he is not good at feeling the presence of people, he has a certain ability to understand people’s emotions.

The feelings Seo-yeon was feeling for me were obvious boundaries.

“You mean I’ve been following you…”

I slowly tried to organize the information.

Not the information I have, but the information Seoyeon has.

The conversation between Seoyeon and Seeker is not threatening at all.

There was a lot of talk about “She’s not cute” And she collected her neck. From her point of view, since she doesn’t have any information about what she’s doing, you might think she’s just joking around.

“Are you a spy from the monster side?”

Seoyeon’s expression began to be stained with a sense of betrayal.

She felt that if she waited a little longer, Seoyeon would get eaten up by her own thoughts and her excuses would not work.

“…”

I made no reply.

In order to keep my relationship with Seo Yeon-yi smooth, I had to let her know right now that I had nothing to do with the monster, but I didn’t.

She just kept her mouth shut and looked up at Seoyeon.

She pretended to be trembling so she wouldn’t be caught later for not opening her mouth, she was just standing firm.

“No way…”

Seoyeon’s expression quickly distorted.

Her expression, distorted like toilet paper, was very complex.

Feeling betrayed by myself, hope that my thoughts were mistaken, and despair that the possibility is slim.

All sorts of mixed feelings were looking at me.

“Say something!”

A strong wave of mana emanated from Seoyeon’s body.

Compared to Seoyeon, she is definitely an emotionally stable character compared to Gahyeon, but she is not a character with a Buddha-like mentality that never gets hurt.

In this game, only the main character or enemies have a steely mentality.

The surprising thing is that when they meet as enemies, they show a steel-like mentality that never shakes, but if you put them next to the main character in some way, they quickly become mentally flawed beings.

‘It’s not important right now, so we’ll do it later…’

Seoyeon’s mentality is by no means steel.

She couldn’t keep her spirits firmly in the midst of doubts that the person she believed to be her team might actually be from the monster camp.

She said, ‘She’s not even strong enough mentally to be able to laugh off the fact that she’s mistakenly scarred the body of her best friend.’

I just stared at the shining magic circle, leaning towards me.

If I explained the situation well, it could have ended without being hit by magic, but I didn’t bother.

Because it was more profitable.

There was not always a positive way to manage the heroines’ mentality.

The method of digging into psychological weaknesses and making oneself feel good and guilty was also one of the classics.

In the game, it was just an illustration, so I worked without any remorse, but now, as it is person to person, the problem is that it is accompanied by a strong sense of guilt, but I couldn’t help it.

Because you can never clear this game using only humanitarian methods.

I closed my eyes watching the magic fly towards me.

When you open your eyes again, the situation in Seoul will be sorted out.

And you should have a calm conversation with Seoyeon.

********

My expectations did not shine.

When I came to my senses and opened my eyes, I was lying in a hospital in Seoul.

I found out later that I woke up quite early, less than 10 hours after I collapsed.

The cause must be that the girls who were worried about me after I collapsed poured their own money into receiving treatment from an expensive healer.

‘Whoa…’

I looked around as frightened as possible.

Around me, there were three women looking at me, but they were happy to see me awake and there was no fuss.

‘I’ve heard that it’s not dangerous.’

The expressions of the three people seemed generally bright.

Except for the fact that Seoyeon was avoiding my gaze without being able to hide her dark shadow, it was really, really bright.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Oh, of course!”

There was a bit of stillness in the air.

How should I explain it?

It felt like the BGM was cut off.

The silence that came from the unknown tension enveloped Seoyeon and me, and the atmosphere also flowed to the bright Jisoo and Gahyeon, creating a quiet atmosphere without knowing or not knowing.

“Can I talk with Seoyeon alone?”

At my words, Seoyeon visibly shrank.

Judging from Gahyeoni and Jisoo avoiding the seat saying they knew, it seemed like Seoyeon didn’t tell me that she had shot her magic.

“You haven’t told the kids anything?”

His voice trembled and his gaze slightly lowered.

She forcibly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly.

Seeing that, Seoyeon lowered her head, perhaps feeling a greater sense of guilt.

Because what I showed wasn’t the attitude a guy on the side of monsters would do.

“Yes…”

Seoyeon seemed to have found some stability.

He’s a strong woman, so if she had time to calm down, she would have logically realized that I and the monster faction had nothing to do with each other.

“Why are you so down?”

Assuming that it was her whip that raised her guilt while I was struck by her magic, it was now my turn to put her carrot in her.

In fact, to say that she is her carrot is not something that was unconditionally sweet to her, but considering her role, it means that it is like a ray of hope for her.

“Sorry.”

Seoyeon didn’t say much.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t say it’s not my fault for not answering right away.”

She said with a bright smile and she let out a deep sigh.

“From your point of view, I fully understand that there may be doubts and misunderstandings.”

I said with the softest possible smile.

There was no point in provoking her here.

No, there must be meaning.

Because it has a negative connotation.

If you push Seo-yeon further, you will suffer great mental damage.

As of now, she has no sure way to control her, so it’s best to coax her into moderation.

“Still, I was too hasty.”

Seoyeon’s expression was dark and dark.

She was obviously too hasty for her to blow her magic at me without listening to her every detail.

Perhaps if the other person had been someone other than me, I wouldn’t have acted so hastily.

This happened because the other person was close to me and gave me a certain amount of heart.

“You don’t have to do that next time.”

I reached out and stroked her hair.

It’s kind of like a confirmation of favorability, but seeing as there was no reaction, it seemed that the favorability toward me had accumulated quite a bit.

“I’ll tell you the truth.”
