I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Chapter 94: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

When the tent was lit by a faint light, and the sound of birds chirping could be heard.

Having barely escaped the deep sleep of the two, I decided to take a moment to catch my breath by the campfire.

Damn, thinking about it again, it was absurd.

It was hard enough with one person, let alone two. Why on earth did I make such a choice yesterday?

"Good morning, young man."

As I sat alone by the fire, calming my mind, a shadow started walking from the bushy area beyond the hill.

I was a bit wary at first, but soon realized he was Jang, who had agreed to help me, and felt relieved.

Had he been standing watch until now and come to wake me up as it was time to get up?

"It seems the two young ladies are still sleeping in the tent... Waking up this early, the burden must have been quite heavy."

"Haha... Yes, well, both of them are more charming than I deserve."

"Such charming young ladies have taken this arduous journey to find you. I thought you'd mingle with them if the situation arose, but maybe this old man was meddling unnecessarily."

"...No, it's not your fault, Boss."

I was grateful for his help, but ironically, this wasn't a problem that could be solved by such consideration.

The fact that the two fought over me showed how serious their feelings were for me.

And the guilt I felt watching that, knowing that my heart and effort couldn't be divided between them, was weighing on me even more.

"It's just that I'm indecisive. If I had a firm heart, I could make a clear decision."

"...So your concern is that you can't make a firm choice."

"It's unavoidable. That's how human relationships are."

Even though we had formed a close bond, I began to feel hesitant about getting too close to each of them out of consideration for each of their feelings.

Even if I wanted to repay one who had sacrificed much for me, being true to that feeling meant that I must give up on the other.

And that meant hurting the other party.

I couldn't even consider taking one of them out of my daily life, not wanting to hurt either.

"Having to hurt one of them. It's only natural to be afraid, isn't it?"

"Being afraid..."

As I felt pathetic about myself, Jang was poking the fire with a fire poker.

That nonchalant action seemed as though he knew the answer to my serious concerns.

"It seems, young man, you're thinking about it too hard."

"Thinking too hard? What do you mean?"

Yes, living a long life brings wisdom.

With such a hopeful expectation, I asked again, and soon he answered with a faint smile.

"If it's too hard to choose one of the two, why not just aim to choose both from the start?"

"...What?"

"It's not that strange. Even the most diligent family men commit adultery, after all."

Adultery?
