Chapter 867: Soul (5)
Seong Guk-eon quietly examined my left eye before grinning.
"Haha, I must have been so out of it that I didn’t even notice I was coming."
With several tense individuals around, I had been on edge, but Guk-eon’s smile at least gave me some relief.
While Guk-eon was speaking, even the Jin clan members present were silent.
"I should be the one apologizing and expressing gratitude to you, but I don’t think you would accept that warmly. Still, I must say thank you."
"No, I don't really..."
"Thank you, Yishin."
Before I could say anything, my words were cut off by Seong Guk-eon.
Seong Guk-eon was the kind of person who expressed gratitude for even the smallest things, so I couldn't fault him.
It seemed like he was worrying more about me because of my eye, and I probably should have pretended to be fine.
The scene of receiving such grand treatment, coupled with showing my changed eye, made me feel a little guilty, as though Guk-eon’s sense of responsibility had grown heavier.
Seong Guk-eon continued with a firm tone.
