Chapter 109: The Cruise Ship: Epilogue (2)
When the blonde girl opened her eyes, what she saw was a sky with three moons floating on it. A big full moon, a small red moon, and a blue moon.
The black night sky she could see while lying down was also full of twinkling stars.
“I was definitely dead….”
The blonde girl said to herself in a slightly hushed voice.
However, contrasting to her thoughts, there was nothing wrong with her body aside from some discomfort. The wound on her chest, which looked as if her chest had been pierced by a sharp blade, had also disappeared.
There are two things that she found uncomfortable right now: the slight smell of blood remaining in her mouth and the rough texture of gravel on her back which hurt a little.
When she felt someone was holding her hand so tightly, she turned her head. What she saw was Agent Black sitting there with a face stained with worry and concern.
When the girl saw that face, she could feel relief spreading through her heart.
The girl and the man looked at each other’s faces silently. After a moment of not-so-uncomfortable silence, Agent Black rose from his seat and carried the girl in his arms. And then, he slowly walked on the rustling gravel field.
While burying her head on Agent Black’s chest, the girl opened her mouth.
“I’m sorry, Ahjussi.”
“It’s okay.”
The girl continued her words in a slightly frustrated voice.
“What should I do now, ahjussi? I followed my heart’s guidance, but it was not enough.”
“There must be a way. And for now, let’s go to a guy who might be able to help.”
“No way. That guy in the yellow suit….”
A man wearing a colorful yellow suit appeared in the girl’s mind at that moment.
“You are correct. If it’s that guy, he would be able to help.”
In the girl’s memory, the Yellow Detective struck her as a bit unreliable, but she brushed the doubt she harboured aside and decided to take a wait and see approach.
After all, Agent Black’s advice was never wrong.
The blonde girl smiled softly, hiding her face in Agent Black’s arms.
