We strongly opposed it, but Soseo was dead set on it.
“I don’t care about other people’s attention anymore, but now I have a goal I want to work towards instead. I think I have to train really hard to achieve it.”
“What in the world is that goal….”
“Well, you guess.”
“Then… Although I am not sure what will happen in the future, I will support you, Young Master.”
What the hell is his goal? I was curious, but Myoryeong didn’t seem to care very much. Seeing her soullessly rooting for him, Soseo continued.
“Until I get to a certain age, I’m going to grit my teeth and practice and build up my inner strength, and when I achieve the limit, I’m going to go into closed-door training.”
“…….”
When the unknown words came out, our faces turned red again. Soseo said with an ‘Oh, I forgot’ face.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll start by explaining what inner strength is.”
Thus, Soseo’s explanation began once again. Inner strength refers to the energy martial artists accumulate inside their bodies through long practice. And it’s said that most things can be done with inner strength. Moving your body in a light and quick way, or breaking hard objects like stones. I thought it would be easier to understand if I thought of it as a similar concept as Mana in the fantasy novels. And closed-door training literally refers to training alone in a sealed space without meeting anyone.
“So I don’t think I’ll be able to care about you two as much as I do now. But it’s all right. I’ll tell Grandpa Jang to take good care of you.”
“…….”
“Grandpa seems to like you both, I’m sure it’ll be okay. So relax your faces.”
“……No, but.”
I said as I recalled Soseo’s previous explanation.
“You said you couldn’t meet anyone if you go into closed-doors training.”
“Mn, what’s wrong with that?”
“I’m already worried. What if I miss you?”
“…….”
The room went sharply quiet. Soseo looked at me silently, then suddenly jumped out of his seat and got up. I asked with puzzled eyes.
“Where are you going?”
“……To train.”
“What?”
“My plans can’t be shaken up already. I need to somehow get rid of my distracting thoughts.”
So Soseo left the room alone. I didn’t understand what had just happened, so I just blankly stared at the open door. Then there was a bang next to me. I turned my head in surprise. Myoryeong was hitting the wall with her fist. After banging on the wall for a long time, Myoryeong slid down like slime.
“……Now I really don’t know either.”
“……Myoryeong?”
“He’s actually going to have 100 boyfriends. Of course, it would be nice if it really happened but… It’s okay, I love multiple tops. But he’s my precious friend. Oh, I’m getting a headache.”
I’m sorry Myoryeong, but I’m going to be my girlfriend’s little and precious baby hamster someday, so that’s impossible. I think I’ve already told you several times. BL is BL and this is the martial arts genre. Myoryeong seems to be confusing them more and more, it’s worrying. Do you miss BL that much? I feel sorry for Myoryeong. I can’t even imagine what Soseo’s goal is or what Myoryeong is thinking.
Five years passed like that.

“My answer is the same. Please directly ask yourself instead of me at times like this.”
“That’s because if I ask you to give me some time, you say no.”
“Then no matter what you say I’ll probably say no.”
“No, but really, why doesn’t she like me? By any chance, does she have someone else in her heart?”
“It’s definitely not like that.”
“Then what the hell is it?!”
I replied immediately.
“Hyung-nim, you also don’t like pathetic people, do you?”
“Oh, that’s right. I hate pathetic people.”
“Right? It’s like that.”
“I really do abhor pathetic people… Hey, are you saying I’m pathetic now!”
When Hyung-nim suddenly grabbed me by the collar, a howl full of rage fell behind us.
“What are you doing while everyone’s busy?!”
“Ah…!”
It was Mr. Jang. He strode up to us with his hands behind him, and Hyung-nim let go of my collar and ran away. I quickly helped him.
“Grandpa, why are you here? You have a bad back.”
“It’s all right, young man. Don’t treat me like a sick person, I’m still very robust. By the way, where’s your younger sister?”
“In her room. Jaeryong Hyung-nim sticks to me whenever he has time, it’s so annoying.”
Even after he said that, Grandpa didn’t shake my arm off. He and I walked around the house and talked. Grandpa patted his curved back and looked at me.
“When did such a small and young child grow up so much…”
“I grew up well thanks to Grandfather’s love.”
“Hoho, what an embarrassing thing to say.”
Finally, now we only have to take a look around the entrance. As I turned the corner, I saw servants putting carts just in front of it. Grandfather took me with him and asked.
“Have the repairs finished?”
“Ah, yes. The repairs have been done very cleanly.”
“Have the orders been placed?”
“They are coming right away”
“As soon as they arrived, put them on the cart. Make sure to check the wheels several times.”
“Yes, Grandfather.”
The servants nodded. Grandfather said as he watched them.
“It’s really just around the corner.”
“Yes, it is really just around the corner.”
“…But you, do you still have that goal?”
I immediately got serious and nodded at Grandfather’s question.
“Yes. It is still the same.”
“……Then do your best.”
“Thank you for your support, Grandfather. I’ll let you know first when I achieve it.”
“Suddenly, I’m feeling tired. I should go to my room, too.”
“Oh, I’ll take you there right away.”
After taking Grandfather to his room and making sure he was lying on the bed, I left the bowl I had washed earlier in the kitchen. The kitchen lady thanked me and gave me my favorite red bean rice cakes. As soon as I got it, I put one in my mouth. When I went to drain the water from the water jar, my face reflected on the surface. I’m already 18, but I’m still cute and round.
“A face worthy of being a RoFan female lead’s younger brother’s.”
It’s also a position where I’d be able to follow the female lead and admire her each and every move. I really could do that role well. I held the jar tightly. It’s already been five years since I transmigrated into “Murim Seolhwa”, but I still haven’t given up on my lingering attachment to RoFan. In fact, I’m still not sure if I’m a good match with the martial arts genre. Of course, I know more things than when I first came to this world, but I still have a lot to learn.
“Myoryeong, I brought you some snacks.”
“Wow, thanks.”
“I’ll leave it here, so eat it later.”
Myoryeong, who was lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling, waved. I put the place of rice cakes down on the table and sat on the floor. We both grew in size in the last five years, so it’s impossible for us to lie side by side on a narrow bed. Myoryeong said with a really fed-up face.
“Did you meet that guy Jaeryeong again?”
“Yes, I met him. He asked me to meet with you.”
“You refused, didn’t you?”
“Of course.”
“Ah, I don’t want to see him.”
“I don’t want to see that guy Kihoon either.”
“True.”
Kihoon is a servant the same age as Myoryeong, who was chasing her just like Jaeryeong Hyung-nim. He stopped because of Grandfather’s warning, but whenever he comes across Myoryeong, he would look at her with a sad look on his face. We barely endured wanting to poke Kihoon in the eye at a time everytime he did this. It was ridiculous to watch him act like the male protagonist of a tragic love affair who had no choice but to break up with his lover.
“But we only have to endure it for a few more days.”
“Yeah, only a bit more and we can go to a place without those guys. It’s refreshing to think like that.”
“…….”
I looked at Myoryeong with my chin on the bed. Myoryeong, who was looking at the ceiling again, looked down at me strangely.
“Hey, Myoryeong.”
“Why?”
Can I say this? I hesitated and opened my mouth.
“About Soseo.”
“What about Young Master Soseo?”
At the same time, Soseo’s voice could be heard from beyond the door.
“Myoryeong, Myoha. Can I come in?”
“Yes, of course!”
Wow, speak of the devil and he shall appear. I quickly closed my mouth, and Myoryeong got up from the bed. When Myoryeong opened the door, a man snuck his head out.
“Sorry to interrupt your rest.”
“No, it’s fine.”
We still remained round and cute as we got older, but Soseo was different. Soseo changed a lot during his closed-doors training. Although he was still calm and tidy, Soseo was now a handsome man, close to being a beauty. He is taller than me. Of course, he is still smaller than Soyu, but you can’t compare Soyu to a person. Maybe because he really looks like the Family Head, he was literally as big as a house.
“But what’s going on?”
“We have to leave soon because of the Martial Arts Tournament. That’s why I’m here.”
“Oh, yes…….”
To put it simply, a Martial Arts Tournament is a place where people compete to see who is the strongest among the martial artists. I heard that the Ten Most Prestigious Sects and the Five Great Families who represent the Righteous Sects are not the only ones to participate, but also other Sects are willing to attend to make their names known. Grandfather Jang told everyone to stay close by Soseo’s side, who could become nervous at any moment, since an important event was coming up.
“How’s your travel preparation going?”
“Yes, we’re almost done.”
“Feel free to tell me if you need anything.”
“……Mn.”
I haven’t yet gotten used to Soseo, who has grown up so much, so I’m already starting to worry about having to stay next to him. I was avoiding his eyes, but I mustered up the courage to raise my head. As soon as I raised it, I saw Soseo’s smiling face.
“Only now you look at me.”
“……Oh, I’m sorry. I avoided you too obviously.”
“It’s okay.”
Soseo held my hand.
“I wish you’d look at me now.”
“…….”
“But why can’t you make eye contact with me anymore? What happened during my closed-doors training?”
My heart was pounding at his words. I stood still as Soseo held my hand.
“That’s…….”
As expected, I can’t say it. I closed my mouth again, not being able to end my sentence. But for some reason, Soseo’s eyes glittered with expectations.
“You don’t want to say it here?”
“……No, that’s not it. I don’t think I’m ready yet.”
“Really? I really wonder why you’re so strange….”
Ahhh I love this so much!
