"My goal is to become a knight, so there's going to be a lot of instances when I'm looked down upon.

Hylli always denied that … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (67)

Ever since we were little, Hestia always felt like she had been downtrodden and was pushing herself down. I didn't know what exactly pressed down on Hes because she never told me, but Hestia was holding back on a lot of things. I sometimes felt like she was trying to push away the things she … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (66)

We finally, finally met, but why didn't I have the confidence to greet her face to face? Who said you could change like that? Who told you to become so pretty that I couldn't face you? I wanted to throw a fit and argue at Shuraina, but I couldn't. I wanted to play chess with … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (65)

Swanhaden sat on the back of the soldier who was currently in a push-up position, thinking of Shuraina. Like the soldier had said earlier, Shuraina wasn't exactly pretty. But Swanhaden didn't care how she looked. Even if, in the future, Shuraina became taller than himself with big, bulging muscles, it didn't matter. It didn't matter … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (64)

Yulinelle raised his hackles as he watched Swanhaden's retreating back, but took a sip of the coffee that he had left behind.

It was already extremely salty, but Swanhaden seemed to have added spices as well--his mouth felt numb. … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (63)

Countless wine-colored memory lamps were tangled amongst each other. Wine-colored memories meant that the person was absolutely miserable, so desperate that they wanted to die. Swanhaden knew that Shuraina grew up in a good home with a happy family, and frowned. He was stunned that Shuraina had such deep mental hurts, and spread his powers … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (62)

Shuraina was proud of herself for choosing pain for someone she cared about but also hated herself in equal measure. Shuraina didn't want to admit it, but she had liked Swan ever since she had seen him. She worried for him and cared for him quite a lot. Maybe it was because he was the … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (61)

CW/TW: Mentions of suicide, graphic descriptions of injury On that particular day, Shuraina was supposed to sleep over at Hestia's home and was unable to go over to Swanhaden that night. Shuraina had found a particular piece of information in the Flowith residence library, and had promised Hestia that she would sleep over. When she … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (60)

When Shuraina pushed him away when he tried to heal her, he looked choked up before grabbing at his hair in annoyance. "I, no, our entire household exists only for that purpose!" When Shuraina began to shout, Swanhaden shouted right back. When Shuraina just sat back, stunned at Swanhaden's words, Swan quickly put his hand … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (59)

CW: Depictions of injuries, blood (more than the past few chapters) Shuraina was busy these days because of Swanhaden.
