Side Story 33
When Lim Gayeong was sucked into the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams and only Lee Hayeon remained.
-No!!! Ah, I knew this would happen, I had a feeling Gayeong would go in front.
-Is that Lee Hayeon above? Why is she like that?
-Yeah. lol lol lol She seems to be lamenting taking Lim Gayeong's route.
-Oh, so that's what it was? lol lol lol
The real Lee Hayeon lamented for a long time.
She had felt uneasy from the moment she brought Lim Gayeong.
In the end, she was dragged in instead of herself.
However.
What Seong Jihan saw when he actually entered the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams was.
"Honey..."
Lee Hayeon approaching with moist eyes on the bed.
She was wearing a see-through black negligee.
With mood lighting in the bedroom and a faint scent of perfume in the air.
The atmosphere was incredibly strange as soon as they entered the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams.
-Uh... suddenly 19+?
-What are they doing right after entering. lol
-That Guild Master... her figure is clearly revealed, you know?
-Fortunately she's wearing underwear under the negligee.
-Fortunate? Why is that fortunate? It's a shame we can't see ㅡㅡ;
-It almost got livestreamed to the whole world. lol lol
-Boss!!! Please block it!!!
The chat window of Seong Jihan was filled with chaotic messages.
Especially Lee Hayeon, who was about to expose her body to viewers, was even more urgent.
'That would be a problem.'
As Seong Jihan looked at the blanket placed next to the bed.
Swoosh!
The blanket flew by itself and wrapped around Lee Hayeon.
"Uh... huh? W-What are you doing, honey?"
"Today's not the day."
"What are you talking about? Today's the day we absolutely have to do it! How long have I been waiting...!"
As Lee Hayeon tried to unwrap the blanket.
Seong Jihan wrapped her up even tighter.
-Aw... disappointing.
-Go all the way lol
-That's dangerous talk ㅡㅡ; This is a channel minors watch too.
-Guild Master is saved. lol lol
As disappointed comments filled the chat window.
Seong Jihan got up from the bed and assessed the situation.
'I'm only wearing a robe too.'
Only underwear under the robe.
It really seemed like they came right before doing the deed.
Seong Jihan took off the robe and put on clothes from the closet.
Seeing this, Lee Hayeon shouted urgently.
"Honey... What are you really doing? Why are you putting on clothes!? What if Hyunwoo comes back while we're like this!"
"Hyunwoo?"
"Yeah. He went out with Gayeong but we don't know when they'll be back!"
So Lim Gayeong went out with someone named Hyunwoo.
Then they knew the whereabouts of one of the people dragged into the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams.
But.
'Where's Seah?'
Seong Jihan left the room with Lee Hayeon still floating, to look for Yoon Seah.
And just as he was about to expand his Blue domain in earnest.
Beep. Beep!
As the front door opened.
A frantic-looking Lim Gayeong and a boy sucking on candy entered.
"My husband has gone crazy!"
Lee Hayeon cried out to Lim Gayeong as if relieved to see her.
"Wow. Mom looks fun! Dad, me too!"
Meanwhile, the boy saw Lee Hayeon floating and approached curiously.
He was pestering to be floated too.
'...Is this the son this time?'
Could this be the Hyunwoo Lee Hayeon mentioned?
Seong Jihan examined the child.
A boy who looked a bit older than Ellie he saw before.
"But is this how you make a sibling?"
"No. I'll do it for you too."
As Seong Jihan said this and made the child float too.
"Wow! Wow! Mom! I'm flying too!"
The child was excitedly moving his body while floating in the air.
Lim Gayeong stared blankly at the scene for a while, then carefully opened her mouth towards Seong Jihan.
"Um. That... You're the Martial God, right?"
"Yes."
"What is all this..."
"Let's find Seah first and then talk."
"Seah???"
Before explaining the situation to Lim Gayeong.
As Seong Jihan was expanding his Blue domain to find Yoon Seah who had entered the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams together.
Thump!
A door opened urgently from beyond the living room.
"Martial God...! Ah. So you were here... huh?"
Was she summoned to another room?
Yoon Seah, who looked at Seong Jihan with a glad face after finding him.
She just blinked her eyes when she saw this side.
And.
Whoosh!
Lee Hayeon, who had been making an ominous expression since Seah's name came up.
"Seong Jihan... who is that girl?"
She looked Yoon Seah up and down, then glared at him with a fierce face again.
"Was the reason you didn't want to do it today because of her? Since when have you been cheating? Wow, really... you..."
"She's my niece."
"What? Are you joking? You said your niece died!"
"That dead niece is her."
"Wow, you... Do you think I'm an idiot? How can a person act like this after cheating!!!"
Lee Hayeon started getting angry.
-It clearly started as a 19+ scene but...
-It's a pandemonium now...?
-But from her perspective, it's definitely unbelievable. lol lol. A niece she thought was dead suddenly appears. lol lol
-For real, he refused to do the deed and suddenly an unfamiliar woman pops up in the house??? The house would be turned upside down, right?
-If Lee Hayeon is untied, she looks like she'll stab him with a kitchen knife.
The viewers could see Lee Hayeon's attitude change 180 degrees from earlier, now overflowing with killing intent.
'This is... It would have been better if Lee Hayeon had come.'
If Lee Hayeon had been dragged into the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams.
She would have been flustered because of her clothes, but at least this chaos wouldn't have happened.
"...Lim Gayeong. Can you explain to Lee Hayeon?"
"Um. Martial God. I don't fully grasp this situation either..."
"Martial God? Why are you the Martial God?! Gayeong, why are you suddenly calling him Martial God too?"
The situation was a complete mess.
"Unnie. We came from another world."
But unexpectedly, Yoon Seah calmly opened her mouth.

"Another world? Ha. That doesn't make any sense..."
"Then could uncle originally use Barren's power?"
"Barren's power?"
"The floating in the air thing."
"That's..."
Lee Hayeon was momentarily at a loss for words at that.
"And, look. Lim Gayeong. You know me, right?"
"Yes. You're the Sword King's daughter and the Martial God's, no, Seong Jihan's... niece."
"I'd like to leave out the part about being that person's daughter... Anyway. If I was the other woman like you think, would Lim Gayeong be on my side?"
As Yoon Seah pointed at Lim Gayeong, Lee Hayeon's gaze followed.
"Gayeong. You..."
"I still don't fully grasp this situation either... but Miss. Her words are true."
"Miss? You haven't called me that since we got married..."
Lee Hayeon's eyes widened at the "Miss" title.
She thought for a moment with a complicated face, then let out a big sigh.
"...Haa. Alright. Let's hear the story."
* * *
30 minutes later.
"I still can't believe it..."
Lee Hayeon, who had changed clothes, listened to Yoon Seah's explanation but.
She was just shaking her head with a doubtful face.
It was understandable.
Suddenly, without any warning, her husband and Lim Gayeong were replaced by people from another world.
And on such an important day too.
Meanwhile.
"Dad, is Dad not Dad?"
The boy, who had been watching the adults while sucking on candy.
Asked that while staring up at Seong Jihan.
It must be hard for a young child to understand, but.
He seems to have grasped it to some extent.
"I won't be here long. he'll be back soon."
"Hmm... But then, what should I call that noona?"
"Hmm. I guess cousin noona."
"Cousin noona?"
At Seong Jihan's words, the child approached Yoon Seah.
"But noona is really pretty."
He looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"Thank you. Hyunwoo is cute too, you look like uncle when he was young."
"Really? They say I look like mom though."
Watching her son approach and show interest in Yoon Seah.
Lee Hayeon opened her mouth as if dumbfounded.
"No way. He's sticking to her right away because a pretty noona came? Hyunwoo. Didn't you say mom and Gayeong were the prettiest?"
"Yeah. But noona is the prettiest too."
"..."
As Lee Hayeon just shook her head at her son overusing the word "prettiest".
"Um. But... How did you end up marrying Seong Jihan?"
Lim Gayeong asked, looking back and forth between Lee Hayeon and the child.
"Us? We met through BattleTube."
"BattleTube?"
"Yeah. He was running a BattleNet match prediction channel."
The BattleNet match predictor, Mr. Seong's channel.
This channel, which was operated sporadically until Yoon Seah died.
Started operating properly after she died, when Seong Jihan was driven to extreme circumstances.
The income from that channel and from match predictions created synergy.
Allowing Seong Jihan to make a comeback from rock bottom.
But here, he even met Lee Hayeon through the channel?
"I judged that my husband's talent was real. So I invested all my remaining assets."
"...All your assets?"
"Yeah. I'd just lose it all anyway if I tried, so it's better to leave it to my husband, right? But I couldn't just entrust all my assets, so I stuck around and grew fond of him... And then we even had a son."
Lee Hayeon looked at her son with distant eyes, as if remembering those times, and continued speaking.
"Of course, when I got pregnant, there was fierce opposition at home telling me to break it off immediately... But I think my husband was rather stimulated by that? He became a god of investment."
"A god of investment... you say?"
"Yeah. His predictions kept hitting the mark and our wealth grew, to the point where we even bought out the Divergent Guild with money."
He bought Korea's top guild, the Divergent Guild, with money earned from match predictions?
He was a god of gambling, wasn't he?
"...And later he became a successful warrior with that wealth. My husband is world rank 3 even while staying in Korea."
Perhaps the Seong Jihan of this world was the one who used the gift 'Wanderer's Eye' best.
"But why did you all... come here?"
Lee Hayeon, after talking about episodes with her husband, looked around at the three and asked that.
At that, Lim Gayeong and Yoon Seah's gazes naturally turned to Seong Jihan.
Lim Gayeong, who was dragged here without knowing what was going on.
And Yoon Seah, who had come along to dismantle the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams but was experiencing this situation for the first time.
Only Seong Jihan could answer that question.
"A huge Taiji will soon appear. When that time comes, take shelter in a safe place."
"Taiji...?"
She was wondering what he was talking about.
When he suddenly mentioned Taiji, Lee Hayeon tilted her head with a puzzled face.
Well, it was understandable to react that way when Taiji was suddenly brought up.
"Then, um... How long will it take for my original husband to return?"
"Who knows? It shouldn't take too long. But I'll probably be here until the Taiji appears."
"Taiji... It needs to appear quickly so we can match the date. If it's late, we'll have to postpone to the next opportunity."
Lee Hayeon fretted about missing the date they had set to try for a second child.
Seeing that, Seong Jihan gave a bitter smile.
'Next opportunity...'
The world inside the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams.
Until now, without exception, all had been destroyed by the Taiji.
The appearance of the Taiji essentially meant the end of this world.
It felt strange to hear Lee Hayeon say she hoped the Taiji would appear quickly.
Meanwhile.
The boy who had been clinging to Yoon Seah approached Seong Jihan.
"Dad. Dad! I really can't marry cousin noona?"
He called him Dad familiarly even after Blue he wasn't his real dad.
"Yeah. You can't marry your cousin."
"Aww... But I want to live with noona."
The child made a sad face when told he couldn't marry her.
"Hyunwoo~ We can be together now~"
As Yoon Seah said that and opened her arms.
The child quickly turned his back on Seong Jihan and ran into her embrace.
-lol lol lol lol Look at him go right away.
-Geez, even kids judge by looks;
-Didn't you know? Kids are even more cold-hearted. lol lol
-But do people normally set schedules like that to have a second child? I thought kids just happened easily?
-No no, why do you think infertility clinics exist... ㅡㅡ;
-For real, it's really hard for my wife and I to conceive...
As time passed like that.
"There are no reports about the Taiji at all."
Lee Hayeon, who had been contacting various places on her phone, informed them of the current situation.
The Taiji that had appeared soon after entering the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams.
But in this world, there were no signs of it appearing.
However, there was one concerning point.
"What time is it now?"
"Now... It's 8 PM."
"It's too bright outside for that time. And it's not even summer."
Step. Step.
As Seong Jihan moved to the window and looked outside.
A bright white light was shining down from the sky.
To an unnatural degree considering the current time.
'...It was there.'
Seong Jihan looked at the sun that was still high in the sky despite it being 8 PM.
At the center of the light.
"..."
Dongbang Sak was quietly stroking his beard while looking down at him.
