HIDDEN CARD: Hidden Card
ESPER: Psychic [15]
김서우
"Hey, sister!!"
김남준
"Honey, I slept well... What's wrong with your arm?"
박지민
"Why is his arm like that, ……."
And again, Seo-woo was added to the group of people who had previously eaten breakfast together. This completely shattered Yeo-ju's previously quiet life.
김여주
"Eat. Don't worry about it."
She felt eyes fixated on her right arm, but she ignored them all and sat down next to Seo-woo. Of course, she didn't forget to show her arm to Seo-woo.
김서우
"Sister, I'm now a Guardian like you! The Chairman told me yesterday!"
김여주
“…Chairman?”
김남준
"After we returned to school, only Seo-woo and Seo-jun were called to the principal's office. But, Yeo-ju, you—"
김여주
"Thank you for the meal. Please take your time and eat."
김서우
"Oh, Sister, you haven't even had a spoonful yet..."
As soon as she sat down, she heard Seo-woo say, "Chairman," and Yeo-ju stood up from her seat, still listening to Nam-joon. She hadn't even been in her chair for five minutes, and she hadn't even picked up a spoon.
박지민
"I'll go first. Hyung, bring Seo-woo."
김남준
"Hey, hey, hey!! Park Jimin!!!"
Jimin, who had been quietly watching Yeoju leave the cafeteria, followed her out, biting into a piece of bread that had been offered as a snack. He heard Namjoon's voice behind him, but he didn't bother to look back.
Leaving the cafeteria, Yeoju planned to go straight to see the chairman. At school, meeting the chairman was a rare occurrence unless something special happened, but that wasn't the case for Yeoju.
Recently, Yeo-ju didn't go to see the chairman, and the chairman avoided Yeo-ju, so they didn't have any reason to run into each other.
However, I had to talk about the fact that the child who had been experimented on by the anti-government forces and became an S-class against his will was brought into the Guardian.
It was still dawn, so no one was roaming the hallways, making Yeoju's footsteps seem unusually loud. Just three more classrooms away was the principal's office.
As she walked with a slightly faster pace, someone suddenly grabbed her left arm and turned it around.
김여주
"…jimin park?"
"Follow me."
Contrary to the cold words spoken on his cold face, the hand holding his wrist was warm.
Jimin took Yeoju's hand and dragged her to the infirmary. Naturally, since it was before school hours, the nurse wasn't there, so Jimin sat Yeoju down on a folding chair.
김여주
"What do you want to do?"
박지민
"You need to get treatment, you idiot."
김여주
"Okay, it'll get better on its own."
As the female protagonist got up from her seat, Jimin, who was looking for a bandage and disinfectant, quickly reached out and pressed his hand on the female protagonist's shoulder.
박지민
"If you don't treat it properly, it will fester or become scarred. Just stay still, I'll take care of it."
김여주
"I have someone I need to meet. I'm busy."
박지민
"Is it more important than you being hurt right now? Just be thankful that I don't ask where or how you got hurt. My mouth is itching to death."
김여주
"……."
Was this also a concern? Ever since Yoon-ki directly told her he was worried, Yeo-ju had become concerned about the other person's feelings toward her.
Jimin, who had been trying to force Yeoju to sit down even if it meant hitting her when she got up again, looked at her with a surprised look as she sat still more quietly than he had expected, and quickly brought out the disinfectant, bandages, and medical tools that had been tucked away in the corner.
김여주
“…That’s only used by the health teacher when performing surgery.”
박지민
"I know. Just by looking at it, you can tell that these are the things used in surgery."
I warned Jimin in advance, worried that he might make a mistake after coming over from the North, but Jimin shrugged his shoulders, not caring.
He looked quite like a doctor, putting on latex gloves that were in the drawer and familiarly lifting the collar of the female protagonist's clothes to examine the wound.
박지민
“Didn’t it hurt every time your clothes brushed against mine? It hurts just to look at it.”
김여주
"Don't touch it and just go. You can ask Recovery Ae for treatment."
박지민
"That's quite true. How much can an A-class recovery do to fix an S-class body? 5mm? 7mm?"
The female protagonist, who was upset by Jimin's sarcastic tone, tried to get up from her seat again, but Jimin quickly approached her, rolling the wheels attached to his chair.
Jimin's eyes, looking at the female protagonist with one hand on her hand and the other on her shoulder, seemed to be telling her to trust only him.
박지민
"Even so, I am an S-class Water Master. While my attacks may be weaker than fire, water is superior in defense and healing."
… Fire doesn't have the ability to heal in the first place. Seeing Jimin confidently roll up his sleeves, Yeoju couldn't bring herself to say the words that were on the verge of spilling out.
Watermaster. I've heard that Espers with water-related abilities have been taught healing techniques since childhood. The main reason is that living things contain water.
박지민
"Local anesthesia is applied."
Jimin, who had been searching for anesthesia for a while, skillfully filled a syringe with it and injected it around Yeoju's wound. Even though it must have been quite painful, being right next to the wound, Yeoju didn't even frown.
박지민
“What… Should I find a blindfold and give it to you? It’s a bit weird to keep looking at it.”
김여주
"It doesn't matter. I have to finish quickly and go."
박지민
"Where are you going in such a hurry? The guardian room? The training room?"
김여주
“…You don’t know.”
박지민
"Oh, you're being so cheap."
Jimin's fist trembled as if he was about to punch the female protagonist, but it only lasted a moment. He gave her a curt "I'll finish this quickly, so just close your eyes" and poured disinfectant into the wound.
Unlike the previous case where he had poured the disinfectant without restraint, Jimin used his powers to delicately dispense the disinfectant. Yeoju, amazed by his skill, who seemed to have done it quite often, stared blankly at Jimin.
박지민
"Hey. It's all over..."
김여주
"……."
박지민
"...Are you sleeping?"
After suturing the long, torn wound and wrapping a bandage over it, Jimin, who had been concentrating, finally saw the sleeping female protagonist's face.
When I was awake, I was like a beast that hated losing and was always on edge, but now I'm like a docile lamb.
Maybe it was because I skipped breakfast. Even while I was sleeping, I could see her rosy lips moving especially well.
박지민
"Kim Yeo-ju. You said you were busy. Aren't you going to wake up?"
김여주
"huh……."
Jimin tried to wake her by tapping her hand with his finger, but she only frowned and showed no sign of opening her eyes.
Jimin, who was about to get up from his seat, stopped moving when something grabbed his finger.
Jimin, whose hands are on the smaller side even among men, couldn't hide his bewilderment at the sight of a hand of similar size wrapping around his finger.
박지민
"Yeah, hey..."
It was because the female protagonist wouldn't let go of Jimin's hand while he was asleep. Unfamiliar with skinship, especially with a woman, even if it wasn't for therapeutic purposes, Jimin quickly froze in place.
Even when he was in the North, Taehyung would hit on any man or woman at any time, and unlike Jungkook who hated anyone sticking to him, Jimin would blush and freeze whenever he made physical contact with a woman, so he was nicknamed 'Ssukmaek'.
It was truly… truly surprising that Jimin, who was like that, would engage in unexpected skinship with Yeo-ju alone in the quiet infirmary. Of course, Yeo-ju, who was sleeping, didn't even notice.
박지민
"……."
Jimin, who was debating whether to wake the sleeping heroine and tell her to let go of his hand or just slap her away and leave, eventually gave up on thinking and sat back down.
When I stared blankly or looked at the female lead, my gaze automatically went to my hand and I turned my head to the other side.
Thump. Thump.
My heart pounded unfamiliarly. I felt my body heat up, but I didn't loosen my tie or unbutton my buttons.
박지민
“…Just try to wake up.”
Jimin grumbled to himself in a space where no answer came. Despite his blunt words, his face was flushed with the glow of sunset.
I'm posting this during my break at school, using what I wrote early yesterday morning... The correct spelling for "ssuk-maek" is "suk-maek"! Please understand that I used "ssuk-maek" for emphasis.
I received a fan art gift ㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠ It was my first time seeing a hidden card fan art so I was excited ㅜㅠㅠ Thank you so much, Lehare 🙇🏻♂️🎆💗 ((I'm touched because I think you expressed the fantasy elements so well 😭
Did you all notice that the hidden card has changed?! Yes, it's my work(?) that I made in 10 minutes. The previous cover didn't work because the Tans' faces looked too small.... 😂
Today, we're focusing on Jimin, who shows off his tiki-taka with the female lead like a prankster(?), but on the other hand, he can also heal, and on the other hand, he's a womanizer! Hands up, Anam Jim~🙌🏻
