Chapter 168
Wait, Villains
Han Jae-jung had to explain to Joo Ah-yoon for a long time that they were not comrades, but simply in a cooperative relationship.
“Really…?”
“I’m telling you it’s true, Ah-yoon. It’s really stressful. Ah. I mean, it’s not that you’re stressful, but that I being tied to these guys is stressful. Don’t misunderstand.”
Joo Ah-yoon nodded hesitantly. Her habit of reverting to her past timid self when her heart softened remained the same. Her eyes were filled with sadness.
Han Jae-jung felt equally wronged.
‘Just a little while ago, he said I was his only comrade….’
Even now, Joo Ah-yoon was the only one he could call a comrade.
A comrade must be more than a simple cooperative relationship. It requires a trust relationship where one is willing to face danger together, even knowing they won’t receive any reward.
