I Returned, But My Power is the Same

“Can we think again? Do you want to break up?”

"I do not know. Just think again.”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“Not all of a sudden. It’s been that way ever since.”

“Do you feel that I don’t like you?”

"Huh."

“Then don’t tell me. If I had known what was causing it, I wouldn't have fixed it."

“It’s a forced fix.”

“Where is the compulsion to fix the bad points? And again, I've never disliked you from the beginning until now. I don't like you, so why are you meeting me, the hell?"

“I heard that there is such a relationship that we just keep seeing each other after we meet.”

“I don’t have that.”

“So, let’s think about it again.”

“Why are you talking like that again?”

“You say no, and I say yes. So let’s think again.”

I was also in a state of getting up from the bench a while ago. And he was standing facing Seong Da-kyung.

Seong Da-kyung's face was even more serious.

“Call me when you’re ready. I will go first.”

Seong Da-kyung turned around.

I wanted to hold onto it and say more, but in the end I would end up repeating the same thing over and over again.

Thinking about the conversation we just had.

* * *

As soon as I got home, I found my sister.

Questions abounded about whether the promotional video was well shot, whether he is a fan of Park Doo-heon and cool, and how he felt about doing such a thing with celebrities, but now was not the time to talk about that.

“Sister, I have something serious to say.”

"Earnestly? What?"

As if reading my expression, the smile on my sister's face immediately disappeared.

Each one explained what had happened before.

He also explained why it happened.

I explained all my thoughts on that and Da-kyung Seong's thoughts.

“So Dakyung will think again? About your relationship?”

"uh."

“It must have been sudden for you.”

"So."

“In the first place, you didn’t like Dakyung, did you?”

"right."

"Well… … .”

The older sister put her hand on her chin and thought quietly, then spoke again.

“On the other hand, I think it was worth it for Da-kyung.”

“Because of something I neglected?”

"Huh. You're a little busy, but it's not difficult to contact you once in a while, right?"

"right. So I apologize for that.”

“Then you can understand all of that, but did you mean that you got the feeling that you didn’t like sleeping?”

"uh."

“In my opinion, it deserves it.”

"Why? Doesn't it make sense intuitively? I don't like you, why are you dating?"

“Dakyung said that again. It’s like we just keep meeting each other.”

“Where is that? We keep seeing each other because we like it.”

“What if I don’t like you as much as I used to?”

"uh?"

“If you don’t like Dakyung as much as you used to, you can see it that way.”

as before.

At that moment, my head goes numb.

“In fact, it wasn’t because I was busy, but I thought, ‘Can I not do this?’, didn’t you? In the past, I would have texted or called right away without thinking like that.”

“… … .”“Is that right?”

“… … .”

“You don't have to be sorry. Once you get used to it, you might think that way.”

“… … .”

“The problem is that Dakyung was very disappointed there. So it must have felt like you didn't like sleeping."

“… … .”

“Put your hand on your chest and tell me. Do you like Dakyung as much as before?”

Sometime it was

As they go to the Special Warfare Command, the units they belong to change.

I go there often to be dispatched abroad.

I'm getting less and less likely to meet.

Then you get used to it.

Even if we don't meet, even if we don't contact, I don't really care.

I thought that when the body goes away, the mind goes away too, it didn't apply to me.

It wasn't.

I was doing that.

“As before… … Nope."

"I thought so."

“Wow, I was very wrong.”

“It’s not wrong. The mind can't always be forever. No matter how big a flame is, it will eventually go out.”

“Daekyung knew all of this and asked me to break up, didn’t I?”

“Of course it will. But I said we should reconsider our relationship, not that we broke up.”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

I asked because I didn't know, but as soon as my sister heard it, it pounded my chest as if it was frustrating.

“Uh-huh, you boring bastard! His eyes.”

“Um, why… … ?”

“Why? How does that mean the same thing? You want me to hold you!”

"then… … Was it?”

"okay! If you really want to break up, let's break up right away, but who wants to think again?"

“… … .”

“So what do you think? Do you think it's right to break up like this, or do you think it's right to keep seeing each other?"

My sister's voice grew serious again.

“You have to think well. Right now, it seems right to keep seeing each other, but if you keep seeing each other and you don't have the same feelings as before, you're only hurting Dakyung for nothing."

“… … .”

“Dakyung wants you to like him as much as he likes you.”

“… … .”

“I have nothing more to say. Just think well, just think. Don't do anything you'll regret or be sorry for."

My sister shakes her hand.

it's telling you to stop

I also had nothing more to ask, so I left my sister's room.

I came into my room and thought.

My head was so complicated that it felt like it was going to explode.

All I could think about was how the situation had come to be like this.

However.

I had to be honest.

As my sister said, I had to be honest in my heart.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

I sat quietly at my desk, laid down on the bed, quietly closed my eyes and thought about it for a while.

and arranged

I decided to convey my honest opinion to Seong Da-kyung.

* * *

"uh… … So that’s it.”

The next day, a cafe in the city.

When I saw Seong Da-kyung, I couldn't easily open my mouth.

"it's okay. Say it."

“That’s what… … You said we'd reconsider our relationship, didn't you?"

"Huh."

“I probably… … I think it would be right to just do it here.”

Why did you ask us to reconsider our relationship?

Why did such a thing come up?

The words were not brought out.

No, I couldn't take it out.

Then why do you have to take it all out?

"I see… … .”

The eyes that had been looking at me turned downward helplessly.

The hand holding her cup trembles slightly.

Seong Da-kyung's mouth was then closed for a while.

I was just staring at the cup.

A few minutes passed without talking to each other.

Seong Da-kyung's head was heard only then.

It didn't show anything, but I could see it.

I'm forcing myself to hold back my tears.

At that moment I knew

As my sister said, Seong Da-kyung did not want to break up with me.

I just wanted to check my heart.

No one is strong against tears.

I was shaken too.

But my sister said.

To keep seeing each other like this will only hurt Da-kyung Seong.

to think carefully.

In fact, we still wanted to meet.

I thought that liking it less than before would become such a big problem.

But my honest feelings weren't like that.

A heart for Seong Da-kyung.

That heart itself was cold.

I liked him less than before and left Margo, and my heart itself cooled down.

So it's not okay to keep seeing each other.

“… … Okay, let’s break up.”

Seong Da-kyung stood up from her seat, leaving only one word.

They dated for 4 years, but broke up in an instant.

His mind is complicated again.

Shaking her head, I also left the cafe.

Seong Da-kyung's back was getting farther away.

“… … .”

He stood there for a moment, bruised.

And he lifted her feet heavily.

As she walked alone on the street she had always walked together, it was only then that she realized it.

she broke up

* * *

“I’m sorry, you’re talking about now, right?”

"uh."

“Okay then.”

This is what my sister said right after I heard the story that happened at the cafe earlier.

“It’s a good breakup. If you feel sorry, not regret.”

“… … .”

“Tell your father-in-law and mother well. Still, she was the one we ate with.”

"okay… … .”

“Why are you so sagging? When there is a meeting, there is also a parting.”

"uh… … .”

“I can’t help but feel sorry for Dakyung, but I told you. If we keep seeing each other like that, that would be even more unfortunate.”"uh… … .”

“Or should I just find another woman?”

“Ah, what else is that?”

“It’s nothing else, you have to meet another woman so that Da-kyung can forget you and meet another man.”

“… … .”

“It’s best to organize people into people.”

“… … .”

"I'm serious, so don't take it too seriously. I go to work rest."

She patted her back and left her sister behind, immersed in her thoughts.

another woman.

That Da-kyung Seong can meet another man only if I meet another woman.

It's not wrong, but it doesn't mean you want to find someone new right away.

Because that's not polite.

Of course, someday we will eventually meet.

A woman other than Seong Da-kyung.

* * *

It was a long vacation.

It seemed like he took a tiring rest, but there were still ten more days left.

My family and I went on a trip right away.

Hawaii.

I only saw it on the Internet or on TV, but when I went to see it in person, there really was no paradise on earth.

Of course, I told you about Seong Da-kyung.

I couldn't tell you.

She ate dinner together, and it was half a joke, but there was talk of marriage.

She didn't respond at all.

I think it was because I was afraid that I would be uncomfortable.

After her tour, she slowly spent time doing personal training.

Now that she was well rested, she was ready to return to the Black Wings.

If Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil knew, he would say, ‘I just want you to rest!’, but is it really possible to just rest?

He's the leader of a team.

With about five days left on vacation, he always finished his personal training before heading out into town.

Black Wing general dinner.

Because today is the day we all said we would see each other while on vacation.

"Oops! Colonel, are you here?”

“Haha, just call me the team leader.”

“Ah, that’s what I say every day when I go to the military, but here, Colonel, you say it.”

“Hello, Colonel Choi! Greetings from sergeant Han Min-tae!”

“I also greet Kim Woo-jong.”

As soon as I saw them, the team members joked around and made me feel a little embarrassed, but they were all friendly faces.

I felt a lot of sympathy for them because they continued to work together, such as the Berton incident and this White Field conquest.

like a family

“Hello, Chief.”

“Yes, deputy chief. Are you enjoying your vacation?”

"sure."

Major Young So-jin, not to mention.

We have been together since the previous unit.

“Ah, Chief.”

It was a time when I was drinking, giving and receiving for a long time.

Han Min-tae asked.

“You haven’t been with the person you’re dating for quite some time, haven’t you? Aren't you going to send out the wedding invitations?"

“Yeah, it’s been four years, isn’t it?”

“Four years is the time to come and go.”

Then the other members of the team also spoke one word at a time.

"uh… … That’s it.”

Major Young So-jin was sitting next to him, drinking only drinks.

“I broke up.”
