“It’s been longer for me than for you.”

Ha-jeong replied, sitting down on a chair at Ha-yeon’s words.

As he said, I had only not seen him for about a week, but for him, it had been quite a while since I had been unconscious.

And not long after, Ha-yeon, who had cooled her head that was about to overheat and explode, pouted her lips and said.

“And what were you saying earlier? What if the kids misunderstand!”

“What?”

…..?

Is he kidding me right now?

“No, you were saying things weirdly….”

“So, what was that weird thing I said?”

Ha-jeong said with a hint of playfulness in his voice.

Anyone could tell he was teasing her.

However, Ha-yeon couldn’t retaliate even though she knew it.

“Ah… that… uh….”

Her face gradually turned red.

It was a simple thing to say.

You said we were dating!

That’s what she should say.

But why couldn’t she get the words out?

“Ha…. It’s nothing.”

Ha-yeon said, sinking into the blanket.

Ha-jeong laughed at the sight and said.

“Want to go out? Aren’t you feeling a bit stuffy?”

“Listening to Seo-a earlier, she said I can’t even walk right now.”

“Isn’t that what the wheelchair is for?”

Ah, right.

There was a wheelchair.

Ha-yeon pondered for a moment about the forgotten existence.

“Okay! I want to get some fresh air too.”

The answer was already decided.

“Then I’ll go get the wheelchair, so wait a moment.”

Ha-jeong said, leaving the hospital room.

As he left the room, she looked at her phone, which she had seen ringing briefly earlier.

[Cheon-seo-a – Don’t forget the wish ticket! Oh, and since I helped you last time, give me two wish tickets!]

Ha-yeon sighed at the message but sent a reply.

[Me – It’s amazing that you have two Baek Ha-yeon free-use tickets, as expected of my disciple.]

Not long after, a reply came from the other side.

[Cheon-seo-a – Then use one now, and if the Association President asks you for something while giving you something later, accept it.]

[Me – ….? What? Um… Okay, since it’s a wish ticket.]

Later, I.

Did not realize what would happen because of this wish ticket.

“Here, sit down.”

Not long after, Ha-jeong brought a very luxurious-looking wheelchair.

“No…. I can walk in three days, you know?”

“Still, just in case, I bought a good one. Don’t worry, this is nothing.”

“If you say so.”

Ha-yeon said, getting out of bed without thinking.

And at that moment, her legs gave way, and her center of gravity shifted forward.

‘I forgot!’

She had been aware of it until just now, but she forgot due to her natural actions.

Just as she was about to fall forward.

“Are you a goldfish? Why are you trying to stand up when you said you couldn’t walk just a moment ago?”

Ha-jeong supported Ha-yeon’s body with his right arm.

No… but…

‘It, it’s touching?’

The lower part of her chest was touching.

Ha-yeon’s face flushed at the unexpected sensation, but she said what she needed to say.

“…I’m sorry.”

“Then it’s fine.”

Ha-jeong said, lifting Ha-yeon and placing her in the wheelchair.

‘What? Didn’t he notice?’

She was saying her wishful thinking, but it was something that would never happen.

It would be strange if he didn’t notice.

‘Ughhh!! Endure! Endure!! Endure Jin Ha-jeong!!’

Ha-yeon, unaware of Ha-jeong’s feelings as he pushed the wheelchair, reciting the national anthem up to the fourth verse in his head with countless agonies, answered a call on her phone.

-Ha-yeon-ah! Are you okay? Ah, you woke up, so you must be okay… but are you still okay?

“I’m fine, so don’t worry, I can’t walk for three days and have to be hospitalized for about a week, but there’s no danger to my life.”

-That’s not okay!!

Thanks to the news, she knew that Ha-yeon was seriously injured and hospitalized, but she couldn’t come to visit because of the dungeon raid.

She called as soon as she heard that she had woken up.

-Still… you don’t sound too serious when you say that.

“Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt except for my stomach, and I’m going for a walk in the park outside the hospital right now, so don’t worry.”

-A walk? But you can’t walk.

“Ha-jeong came, and he’s pushing the wheelchair from behind.”

Choha was silent for a moment at her words.

Why is she doing this?

-Can you switch me to the Association President for a moment?

“Huh? Well, there’s no reason not to.”

Ha-yeon said, asking Ha-jeong, who was chanting agonies behind her.

“My sister wants to talk to you?”

At her words, Ha-jeong took the phone without saying anything, with an expression full of determination for some reason.

What’s wrong with him.

“Wait here for a moment, I’ll go talk.”

“Ha? Hey, wait a minute!”

Ha-jeong left the wheelchair in front of the fountain and disappeared somewhere.

Hey, where are you going!

“Still… it’s pretty.”

I guess I’ll just have to admire the fountain until he comes back.

Ha-yeon was saying such carefree things.

Not knowing what kind of conversation was unfolding behind her.

-You went faster than I thought?

“Of course, I was going crazy wanting to see you quickly.”

A place far enough that Ha-yeon couldn’t hear.

He spoke to that place in a different tone than before, and Choha did the same.

In fact, the two had been interacting for a long time since they first met.

To Ha-jeong, she was the sister of the person he liked and an A-class Hunter of the Association.

To Choha, he was the Association President, so it was difficult at first, but she quickly relaxed knowing Ha-jeong’s personality.

-Don’t you think you should reconsider? She just woke up today.

Ha-jeong smiled faintly at Choha’s words.

Of course, she didn’t know.

“I don’t think I’ll have much time unless it’s today. When I have some free time, I keep going on missions.”

The duration of those missions was long.

And he would come back seriously injured every time.

That made Ha-jeong anxious.

“I think I’ll be going somewhere again in a week.”

He had also heard that Ha-yeon had obtained the opportunity to use the Constellation Explorer on Cheon-seo-a.

Knowing Ha-yeon’s personality, she wouldn’t wait and would go as soon as she could move.

Then the opportunity would disappear again.

-Well… I understand your feelings, and after talking on the phone, she doesn’t seem to be in any pain except for the aftereffects.

Ha-jeong took Ha-yeon’s phone away from his ear at Choha’s words and said.

“Then I’ll hang up, sister-in-law.”

-What sister-in-law! You’re not even dating yet.

Ha-yeon would only find out about this conversation between the two a long time later.

“Hey! Where did you go, leaving me alone!”

Calming my mind and admiring this beautiful fountain… was bullshit.

I was feeling pathetic, getting hit by splashing water droplets from time to time and not being able to move properly because I had never touched a wheelchair before.

“What if something happened to me while you were gone?”

“You can’t use mana, can’t walk, and your body is weakened, but you can still crush most guys, so stop exaggerating.”

“I can’t counterattack if I’m ambushed.”

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ guarantees that they can protect you.]

The Constellation is inside.

“More than that, is there anywhere you want to go?”

“Don’t change the subject… ha… what’s the point of saying more, let’s just go see the scenery.”

Her range of activity was not very wide as she was hospitalized.

There were restaurants inside, but it was a bit too much to eat food in this condition…

Ha-yeon said, looking at the sky that was gradually darkening as the nights were getting longer as it was getting chilly, and Ha-jeong moved the wheelchair.

“There’s a hill near the park, and the scenery is good there.”

At his words, Ha-yeon turned her head and looked in the direction the wheelchair was heading.

It was not clearly visible due to the other structures and trees, but there was a hill that seemed to have a great view and a meadow that was not very wide but still large enough to run around in.

“Wow…. There was such a space in this central area in this era?”

“I guess the hospital side deliberately blocked development so that patients could rest.”

Ha-yeon looked at Ha-jeong for a moment as he said that.

I was a bit doubtful, but that was a lie.

I just had a feeling.

“More than that, how did you know about this place? There aren’t many people.”

“Well, I… no, I had looked it up before.”

If you’re going to lie, do it properly.

She let out a hollow laugh at his somewhat clumsy words and looked at the hill in front of her.

“It’s pretty, though.”

Time passed on the way, and it suddenly became chilly.

‘It’s a bit cold….’

The only thing she was wearing now was a patient gown.

It couldn’t be helped that she was cold now that she was weakened.

Whether he saw her shivering a bit, he took off his coat and put it around Ha-yeon.

“Oh… thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

They arrived at the hill like that.

What could be seen there were the stars that were starting to appear little by little.

“The stars are easy to see here because it’s not a developed area.”

“I guess so.”

As she looked at the twinkling stars, her gaze naturally turned to Ha-jeong, who was next to her.

‘Wow… he’s handsome as always.’

Ha-yeon didn’t realize it, but Ha-jeong was her ideal type.

She just didn’t realize it herself.

Not long after, Ha-jeong turned his head and looked at Ha-yeon.

Their eyes met.

“You’re pretty, so beautiful.”

“Yeah, the stars seem really pret….”

“No. Not the stars, you.”

“…..?”

At those words, she thought she had misheard for a moment.

I thought he was talking about the stars, of course.

But me?

Her face, which had been blank for a moment because her head wasn’t working,

Turned red in an instant.

“D-don’t joke around… do you think I’ve only been fooled by that once or twice?”

“I’m not joking.”

Ha-jeong said, matching his eye level with Ha-yeon, who was sitting in the wheelchair.

No, why is he doing this!

His black hair seemed to shine even more today because of the night sky.

“You’re really pretty.”

“Stop it….”

I think I’m going to die of embarrassment.

She couldn’t make eye contact properly and lowered her face.

And Ha-jeong gently touched her left hand.

“I may be rushing and clumsy, but….”

He said, putting something on the ring finger of her left hand.

It was a ring with a Black Jade base, Moonstone and Aquamarine decorations, and a diamond embedded in the center.
