Chapter 451: Our Hyunsung (3)

'I should adjust the distance between us.'

Getting any closer had to be avoided.

Lee Kiyeon's objective wasn't to have a strong relationship with Kim Hyunsung. Rather, it was the opposite.

I had no intention of playing with fire overnight. This was just a one-time thing.

I only aimed for a simple relationship where we would meet by chance, accidentally had deep conversations, then went on each other's ways without regrets.

If we got too close, I might need to keep in touch with him regularly.

Naturally, I leaned back.

I didn't know if this was a good thing, but Kim Hyunsung didn't take my signal as a sign that I wanted to distance myself from him.

He thought I was just moving over.

He wasn't the kind to react to those actions in the first place, but as this was an important occasion, I had to be cautious about my movements.

'I guess it's a good thing.'

Of course, the conversation continued.

It went back and forth between light talk and a bit of personal talk.

What was a little surprising was that Kim Hyunsung had begun to talk about himself little by little.

At best, everything he said was all that everyone knew. However, it was important that I was making him talk.

"I see. I feel like I'm seeing you in a new light. I guess being in the position of a Guild Master representing Lindel isn't all about convenience."

"Yes. There are a lot of politically intertwined stories. It's not a position where I can just do as I please. I need to think about the Vatican's side, and I need to consider the surrounding cities' position. I said it like I was good at it, but in fact, I'm all thumbs when it comes to this..."

"But the Blue Guild is doing well, right? You're doing good, not only with the military force. but with the political issues, too..."

"That's because of my close friend."

It wasn't long after that the lovely returner mentioned me.

"Close friend... Oh, the Honorary Cardinal."

"Yes."

'Whew. Hyunsung mentioned me as a friend... I'm going to cry. Hyunsung, you know how much I cherish you.'

"So, you seem to have a close relationship, just like the rumors said."

"I don't know. At least I feel that way. It hasn't even been long since we've known each other... it's a bit weird. Sometimes I wonder if it would feel like this if I had a brother. At first, I didn't think of him that way... he has such a strange charm."

'Hyunsung, I know how you feel. I feel the same way.'

"The Honorary Cardinal is probably thinking the same way. I don't know much about you two, but I've heard a lot about you."

"People talk about us?"

"Uh-huh. Everyone already knows how loyal the Honorary Cardinal is to the Blue Guild Master. Actually, the word loyalty doesn't even seem to fit..."

"Haha. Yes. It would be far from something like loyalty. Rather, it is a little embarrassing. Loyalty..."

"It would be easier to call its friendship. Yes. Friendship. Actually, I'm a little bit envious."
