I had another dream. Han Ye-an appeared in my dream, just like always. She looked pretty and was neatly dressed. I held her close in my arms and waited for her body to turn cold and lifeless. I tried my hardest to cling on to her warmth until her blood inevitably began to spill. For … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (158)

The more time passed, the more memories resurfaced. The remnants of Han Ye-an stayed by my side, pestering me. I remembered when all four of us were happy together. The one time I complained about how hot it was and how she had poured a bucket of icy cold water on me, the time when … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (157)

Han Ye-an started to treat me like her younger brother from some point in time, but I didn't accept her. I didn't accept anybody, to be honest. I had been too wild since I was a child. 'Teacher~ Se-yoo is bullying the other kids again.''Teacher! Se-yoo is fighting again!' My personality was a bit more … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (156)

".....I'm ready for my smack.""Didn't you have to erase my memories anyway to keep your family's secrets safe?" Swanhaden was too honest for his own good. ".....Yulinelle said that I could leave some of the good memories behind." If the duke had given him permission, that meant that the blame for my wiped memories were … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (155)

I had almost missed it because I couldn't see it that well. There was something else that didn't belong other than Swan's magic circle. There was another set of lights tied together by a spell. They weren't completely submerged in the water--they were half-floating. The lights were dim, but it looked like they wanted to … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (154)

"Stop trying to look tough and deactivate the spell.""....." Swanhaden looked at me and my siblings, turning his head from left and right. As he hesitated, blood began to flow through his bandages. His injuries were reopening because his magic was growing unstable. I held onto Swan's arms and begged him. "It's enough. Swan, this … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (152)

"Hmm hmm~ I'm the pink! Prin! Cess! I'm the prettiest~." Semi had been an energetic kid as soon as she was born. She couldn't seem to walk calmly on her way home, and she continued to hop back, only stepping on the red stones on the ground. Semi stretched her arms out as she hummed, … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (151)

Thanks to Swan, I was able to let go of the nervousness I had been feeling from earlier. Swanhaden's mental spells meant that he was going to be forcing them to undergo extra "education", but I had seen what he had meant by that when I had passed by a few times before. I knew … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (150)

Swanhaden seemed nervous as he frowned. Swan usually didn't have drastic shifts in his expression so it wasn't too obvious, but I had spent a while with him so I could tell the difference. When I just stared at his face without a response, Swanhaden explained that white magic was generally used for treatments so … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (149)

"....I'm not telling you." I wanted to avoid Yves' persistent gaze, but he continued to carefully leer down at me. It didn't matter if I told him or not, but then I would have to open up about my past life and explain everything, which I was too lazy to do. "Is it a man?" … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (148)
