Chapter 59: Cure
Alright. I have to admit.
I've always complained about my poor ability, but honestly, it's pretty good.
Well, I mean telekinesis… is pretty versatile, and I can say that teleportation is a perfect ability for me to avoid the heroes..
Of course, I said a load of garbage about how terrible my power is, but… its strength is that you can gather much power if you don’t think about the aftermath. If you release the telekinesis at once after stacking it for a while, it is quite strong. And theoretically, I can travel a long distance. The problem is afterwards though.
Anyway, it's not that bad.
But indeed, it's still trash. What kind of person with superpowers would have to pass out for a few days after using power like me?
And not just passing out, I even cough out blood now.
"Cough."
After the last bridge attack.
Floating all day using telekinesis, stopping the car also using telekinesis at the last minute, and teleporting long distances.
I, who overworked myself again, fainted for three days. I’m not even a sunfish…
It feels like passing out is now a daily routine for me. Compared to the time at the hotel in Busan which I fainted for one week, it’s rather short this time.
But I didn't vomit blood like this back then.
"Wait!!! Da-in!!!!! Don’t we have to go to have a check at the hospital?"
"Seo-eun, what should I tell them at the hospital?… Should I say ‘I think my organs are ruined while using telekinesis’? I will be reported as an illegal superpower holder and go to jail."
"Then what are you going to do?!! Are you going to keep vomiting like that?"
"Cough. It'll get better over time. Hey, I'll take care of it, so go to bed now. It's late."
Seo-eun is still looking at me with a worried expression.
I shooed her out.
While wiping the blood around your mouth with a tissue.
Soobin also looked at me worriedly, and told me that she would find a solution if I’m still in this state tomorrow.
On top of that, Lee Ha-yul's younger brother, Cha Yoon, who is my fan. He told me not to die with tears in my eyes. Are elementary school students normally that sensitive these days?
And Lee Ha Yul.
When everyone was surrounding me, she alone was staring at me far away from the door with a fluttering complexion.
She has a guilty look on her face.
Maybe she’s blaming himself for not being able to come forward even though she can help me.
Lee Ha-yul developed the ability to heal people when she was young.
She didn't reveal her ability to anyone because of the trauma of being sold when the orphanage’s director found out.
Even her brother doesn't know about it because the director strictly controlled her.
That's why she hid her ability when she first met me. Well, I did look very suspicious.
But now that time has passed like this, I can say she's quite open to me.
When I first met her, she used to spit out every word informally, but now she speaks formally to me.
Come to think of it, everyone in my family is using honorifics to me, right?
….I feel like I've become head of the household.
Anyway, the bottom line is that she seems guilty because of me.
I gave her a place, provided food, and money, but she can't repay me with anything.
Even now that she has a chance to pay back, she’s still not doing it, so I think she’s blaming herself.
Well, I understand. It's kind of weird to suddenly say, "I actually have healing skills~ I'm sorry I didn't tell you." No matter how much you like us, it’s a human’s instinct to distrust each other.
Tsk, there's nothing I can do.
But I’ll just let her stack up more guilt for now. There will be a day when she will reveal her abilities.
And so I coughed out the blood more loudly.
"Cough! Cough!"
"Ugh! I can't leave you like this, Da-in! Let's go to the hospital!!"
“That's right, Da-in, we should try to do something first."
"You can't dieeeeeeee."
…But somehow the others made a fuss about it and gave up.
A person can vomit blood. Why are you making such a fuss?
Still, Ha-yul's face looks darker, so it seems to be effective. Oh, but I feel guilty.
Anyway, after the commotion was over, I sent everyone back to the room because it was late at night. Now that I'm feeling better and not bleeding anymore, I'll get some rest and take care of myself.
Everyone is looking at me with anxious eyes, but I’m really okay. A part of me exaggerated to stimulate Ha-yul a little more. I need a healer.
After everyone stepped down like that's it.
I was lying alone in bed in my room.
Well, should I inject some fluids at least?
The fatigue recovery capsule is excellent for recovering from injury, but there is a limit to the treatment of diseases.
In fact, it can make you ill as the side effects of excessive use of capabilities.
Haa. No but why am I vomiting blood? I usually pass out for a week, but this time, is it because I woke up after 3 days? Or are my abilities getting degraded?
I felt uneasy. No, it can't be, right?
….But stopping a falling car for a second isn’t something hard to do. The energy itself wouldn't be that big in the first place.
… Or is it? Is it big? I'm not sure.
Anyway, the more I do terrorism recently, the more I feel that my body was getting tired. I'm tired now.
That's true, it's even more strange if you don't feel tired after doing four terrorist attacks within a year. None of the main villains in the original comic did terrorism that often!
That's right. It's hard for me to try to replace almost all the main villains that Stardus went through on my own. It would still be impossible even if I had ten bodies.
…No matter how hard I think about it, the Ego-squad, I mean… We need to create a villain union. I'll give out the orders and get some rest myself. I'll just be in charge. Why don't we just put a few restrictions and make them do the terrorist attacks? The people I've recruited so far are mainly supporters rather than armed forces. Yeah, there's a force in the original work, and let’s see if there's someone I can control…
Until dawn, I laid in bed with the lights off, didn't sleep and just kept planning.
I passed out for three days and just woke up. How can I fall asleep lying in bed again?
When I was thinking about the big picture, suddenly.
Squeak-.
I could hear my door open quietly. What the?
I was going to get up, but I decided to just lie down pretending to be asleep. I don't think she would have come in at this early hour assuming I'd be awake.
I can hear someone approaching my bed secretly. Who the hell is that?
Unable to overcome my curiosity, I opened my eyes slightly.
A small figure appeared in a dark room
I can only see the silhouette, but a person with this height in the house… is only Ha-yul.
She came close enough for me to see her face, so I hurriedly closed my eyes again.
Soon, the sound of breathing came right under my nose.
So she stood in front of my bed for a moment, then whispered in a very small voice.
"…Da-in, are you sleeping?"
Nope, I'm not sleeping.
But I can't answer that. I just closed my mouth and lied down pretending I didn't hear anything and kept sleeping.
She waited for my answer for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief when I didn't move.
Then, suddenly, she put my hands side by side with my body. What the.
She continued to start whispering in a lower voice than before.
“Da-in, I'm sorry. For hiding the fact that I have superpower…"
"I'm really grateful to you who helped my brother and I, and I really like you."
"Still, I couldn't say it yet. I'm sorry for being so selfish and not trusting people, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't do this after getting help from you."
She started confessing to me in a trembling voice.
Wait, hey. What's wrong? Is she being immersed in the early morning sentiments? Get a grip of yourself, kiddo!
I wanted to tell her not to do this, but I'm now officially known to be sleeping. I couldn't have spoken up.
…I guess the blood vomiting earlier worked pretty well. Did I look like I was almost dying? The sudden storm of emotion also made me go out of my mind. Why is she suddenly torturing and blaming everything on herself?
Now I can even hear a sniffing sound from the side.
Hey, are you crying? Don't cry! I'm sorry.
This makes me feel like a bad adult for no reason. I feel like I've become trash that makes high school girls cry.
She sniffed for a moment, then knelt down in front of my bed and whispered again.
"Still, I can't confess my ability, but… I'll help you from behind. I will."
She spoke quietly with such a slightly determined will.
Then, suddenly, a small light flashed from her hand, which was grabbing my body.
Then, the warm energy came into the body everywhere she touched.
Something fluffy and warm-hearted surrounded my body.
I couldn’t remember how time passed by.
When the warm energy was hovering all over my body, she groaned and took her hands off me.
The hands, which were grabbing me for a long time now, have left my body.
She, who was panting a little, rose again and seemed to rub her face as if she was wiping off the sweat.
"Haa… I'm sorry I can only do this for you. But… I'm always thankful, Da-in."
She finally went out of the room.
I heard a slight "good night" sound at the door, and she closed it.
Soon after the footsteps in the hallway had completely disappeared, I opened my eyes.
"Oh my…"
I got up and swung my arm.
Obviously, my body, which felt like I was dying before, is full of energy as if I have suddenly regained vitality.
The twisted pain just went away, and I became lively again.
"Ha-yul…"
Yeah. No matter how much I think about it, I think it was the best choice to recruit Ha-yul.
I'm all of a sudden in the best condition of the year from the worst of the worst!
"Thank you…!!"
I can roll my body now!
Seeing her today makes me feel that she's a good kid, except she's a little over-emotional.
