Don't You Need an Omega Lucky Charm - Chapter 11.2
Ha-on hurried his busy steps and waved his hand.
“Suddenly?”
“Yeah, suddenly.”
“What a check.”
“There is something like that.”
Going somewhere else instead of school was purely Ha-on’s impulse.
Watching him move away, Kim Hyeongyu tilted his head and muttered.
“Lately, you are doing things you never used to do… Don’t forget the welcome party!”
He shouted the last words with emphasis.

“Focus, let’s think carefully.”
He already knew what had happened to Cha Jeongwon.
Especially since the curse of misfortune embedded in Cha Jeongwon’s fate was powerful enough that he had to use talismans.
What was Ha-on’s impression after experiencing a tiny fraction of Cha Jeongwon’s life?
He thought Cha Jeongwon was pitiable.
Still, if his own life got twisted because of Cha Jeongwon, this was a bit unfair.
“How hard have I lived my life.”
Although there was no one who did not live hard, Ha-on really had run forward looking only ahead.
His parents loved Ha-on, but theirs was not a family that could support what he wanted to do. Inwardly, they hoped Ha-on would choose a stable path.
While his older brother and older sister were each contributing to the household through their social lives, in a multi-child family with two younger siblings below him, Ha-on could rely on no one even more so.
Under such conditions, Ha-on was able to enter his current university, which was counted among the very best in the country. He did his best not to reach out his hand to his parents for everything from academy fees to tuition.
After entering, he did not take a leave of absence for even a single semester. To somehow reduce the money going out, he also never let go of top-tier grades.
He had held out desperately that much. It would be the same in the future as well.
There was no one to rely on, and he had to endure alone until the end. As much as his goal was to study diligently and succeed in getting a job before graduation, he had to prevent Cha Jeongwon’s misfortune from interfering with his dream.
Ha-on walked along the alleyway. He walked and walked through the narrow alleys.
Whenever the road split, he chose the direction his feet headed toward without hesitation.
Even though he had moved up to Seoul and lived here for several years, there were truly many roads he did not know. It would be nice to walk them like a stroll later on.
Walking without any thoughts made his mood feel a step better.
The incidents where he kept bumping into Cha Jeongwon at school all this time. Even the accident that happened today as the elevator stopped…
It was nothing to make a fuss about, but now it approached him dramatically.
Wandering like that, he broke out of the narrow path. As the wind brushed past his face, his field of vision opened up wide.
A wide avenue with as many as eight lanes was right before his eyes. Looking at the passing cars, Ha-on inadvertently turned to look to the right.
Familiar shoulder lines were revealed clearly, receiving the morning sunlight.
A chuckle leaked out from Ha-on.
“Ha.”
It was an action he had attempted blindly.
It was something he had done just in case, but there were no coincidences.
In the end, he was meeting Cha Jeongwon again.
He thought he had gone to school, but even upon seeing Cha Jeongwon, Ha-on showed no sign of surprise at all.
Rather, he approached him.
“Hello.”
At Ha-on’s greeting, Cha Jeongwon raised his eyebrows.
“I had something to give you if we met anyway, so the timing was good.”
Ha-on slyly rummaged through his pockets. Then he pulled out his wallet and took out money.
“It is for the hospital bill I borrowed last time. Thank you.”
He had held it out to repay him at the cafe previously, but he had not taken it back then.
“I never told you to pay it back. You were hurt because of me, so I do not want to burden you.”
“Although I rolled down the stairs, I got more tests than necessary while I was there. So please take this, and if you truly have a heart for my sake…”
“Ask to settle it with something else?”
Because Cha Jeongwon spoke up to finish his sentence, Ha-on closed his mouth.
Just a moment ago, he thought he had softened the atmosphere a bit by saying he was envious of winning the suite room, but in that short time, it hardened stiffly again.
“What do you want? Why do you want to follow me here?”
The momentum felt from him was fierce.
Ha-on had no intention of taking it unilaterally either.
“I did not come here on purpose. I just walked, and it happened to be here.”
“Keep the excuses short.”
Cha Jeongwon was a person who spoke as sharp as a razor.
“Senior.”
“Fine. I will grant you whatever it is. Instead, do not bother me anymore.”
At the voice speaking in a strong tone of threat as if he would not leave him alone, Ha-on raised his hands as if surrendering.
“What if it is the opposite?”
Cha Jeongwon looked back with his eyebrows furrowed.
“If it turns out that you are the one coming to find me instead of me…, you will take back your words that I am bothering you, right?”
