Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

Episode 89: Partner (8)

Gyeoul had trouble falling back asleep – she could still vividly see Yeorum flailing her body on the sand when closing her eyes.

She couldnt hear anything that was happening outside the tent as it seemed that Yu Jitae had isolated the dimension. With her eyes closed, she couldnt fall asleep and it was even harder with her eyes open… so Gyeoul stayed by herself just like that, not knowing what to do.

That was when someone opened the door of the tent and walked in.

It was Yu Jitae.

“…!”

Getting up from the bed, Gyeoul welcomed him in. She threw her arms wide open and he naturally lifted her up into his arms.

“Why arent you sleeping yet.”

“…Its nothing. What about unni?”

“She went home. Lets go to sleep now. That way we can play more tomorrow.”

“…”

Yu Jitae lied down on the blanket and she did the same. She couldnt do so when Yeorum was with them but now that it was just the two of them, Gyeoul grabbed his arm and pulled it. Seeing her struggle with replacing his arm, he raised it and placed it beneath her head for her to use as a pillow.

Only then did she feel some comfort.

But… suddenly.

She had a strange line of thought.

“…?”

She didnt know why it suddenly struck her but Gyeoul abruptly thought that this man might not be Yu Jitae.

That didnt make her anxious or anything. Gyeoul remembered seeing two Yu Jitaes when she was young – there was Yu Jitae she saw everyday and Yu Jitae whom she couldnt see everyday but the one that wasnt with her everyday was still as handsome as the real one and was similarly nice to her. So back then, she thought they might be twins and that the other one might be the younger brother.

Yeorum wasnt outside the tent anymore. She must have gone home or gone back inside the water, but either way Yu Jitae had probably gone with her.

Then was the younger one here?

Gyeoul asked.

“…Who are you?”

He gazed down at Gyeoul, and replied.

“What do you mean, who are you.”

“…You are not, our ahjussi.”

“I am.”

“…I dont, think you are.”

“Why. All of a sudden.”

“…A hunch.”

“I am Yu Jitae.”

Since the command from his lord was toplay with Gyeoul as Yu Jitae, the clone lied.

Meanwhile, the clone who was made based on the 6th iterations Yu Jitae felt uncomfortable at heart whenever he faced this young child. It was because she made him remember the blue-haired child who was found dead in the underground labyrinth in the 6th iteration.

“…Liar.”

“…”

“…But weve, seen each other, before right?”

“We see each other everyday.”

Gyeoul frowned.

He was the same – he was exactly the same as Yu Jitae but his words felt strangely short and that was odd because Yu Jitae was more of a chatterbox now.
