Sunday after conquering the dungeon.

Regardless of my desire to rest, I have a prior commitment today.

A date with none other than Yoon Ji-an.

To be exact, he asked me to buy him a meal to commemorate receiving a good reward, but… , the nuance wasn’t that bad, so I guess it’s safe to say it was a date.

“This is an opportunity.”

My relationship with her has become quite different.

Should we say that private emotions have begun to mix with public affairs?

Unlike the first time, when they had a business-like attitude, the atmosphere between them became much warmer.

That is why I described today as an opportunity.

I thought it would be a point that clearly highlights the changing atmosphere between the two of us.

Of course, it will depend on how I act today.

Will it remain a public relationship like before, or will it become difficult to distinguish between public and private affairs?

“… “I’m nervous for no reason.”

Maybe it’s because it’s my first time developing a relationship with a woman through such a standard route.

His relationship with Shin Yoo-jeong is somehow twisted, and he is having an affair with the lady anyway.

He and his former wife, Han Joo-hee, took a very different path from ordinary men and women and became lovers.

Before we were lovers, we were colleagues at the same party.

We owed our lives to each other, and that built up into affection.

At one point, the affection that had built up like that sparked and burned brightly.

Although we did go on a normal date… , At that time, our relationship had already become deeper, so we knew what each other liked and wanted, so we didn’t think for a long time about what to do or where to go.

“what… “You can do it normally.”

In my opinion, Yoon Ji-an also lived a life that was far from that of a man.

So she probably isn’t hoping for anything special either.

Wouldn’t you just dream of an ordinary, comfortable, yet slightly exciting date?

“It might not be a date.”

Maybe I’m the only one who thinks this moment is a date.

I hope that’s not the case.

I took a shower and came out to calm my trembling mind.

Then, I open the closet, pick out some clothes that would be good to wear, and try them on… .

“what.”

What I was worried about happened.

My arms and legs are already getting longer, so I was thinking about buying clothes again.

I guess I missed the deadline.

“… “It’s short.”

The slacks I bought in pairs are barely visible above the ankles, and the shirts are bare around the wrists.

“How tall are you?”

Even when I opened the status window recently, I didn’t pay much attention to my height or weight, but now I need to check it.

“Status window.”

[Status Window]

Name: Kim Do-jin

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Height/Weight: 178CM / 69.1KG

[Strength: 28] [Stamina: 32] [Dexterity: 28] [Magic Power: 35]

Characteristics: A person with qualities

[Mutual non-aggression (2022.06.09.~2025.12.31)]

[No disclosure (2022.06.09.~2025.12.31.)]

“Wow, you’ve grown 4cm.”

His height, which was only in the early 170s, has already surpassed the late 170s, and the second digit is about to change.

For some reason, I thought the air was a little clearer these days.

“Your ability level has also increased considerably.”

It is also noticeable that the ability level has increased once again since conquering the dungeon yesterday.

The thing that increased the most was, of course, horsepower.

As I look at the horsepower figure approaching 40, I feel a strange sense of doubt.

“It seems like the speed of ability growth is getting faster… .”

Usually, the higher the ability value, the more difficult it becomes to raise it one level at a time.

However, the growth rate of the horsepower value, which has risen from 20 to 35, is not slowing down.

No, I even have the illusion that it is getting faster.

At this point, I’m starting to get scared.

I feel like it goes far beyond what can be understood simply as talent.

Becoming stronger is a great thing, but… .

“If this happens, something is bound to happen.”

I know this because I once lived as an S-class hunter, and many things gather around strong power.

People gather, money accumulates, and reputation soars.

So far so good… , the problem is that incidents and accidents also follow.

Events that I wish would not happen to me happen around me, and I become caught up in them.

I once complained about this to a colleague.

Then what he said was fate.

A fate designed to be inevitable because one possesses power and is strong.

“At the time, I thought it was just bullshit.”

As I lived, my thoughts changed.

What he said might be right.

In the end, most incidents and accidents are caused by humans.

And as I said before, people and money gather around strong powers.

When the desires of those who come together like that clash with each other, won’t all sorts of things happen?

“… But what am I thinking right now?”

Was it while I was changing clothes to go out?

Time is running out.

I took off the clothes that made my limbs shorter and took out new clothes to put on.

Black slacks and a dark gray shirt.

These are clothes that are slightly larger in size than the clothes you normally wear.

I bought it just in case, but it is still useful.

After lightly arranging my clothes in front of the mirror, I applied wax for the last time and slightly pushed back my bangs.

In the past, when people saw this style, they called it ‘Kan Siu’.

“Is it Kandawjin now?”

It’s the same style, but this one is a little better.

When I judge it calmly, Kim Do-jin’s face is more handsome than Son Si-woo’s.

Son Si-woo isn’t ugly either… What can I say, I had a strong feeling of being told that I was popular and good-looking.

“It’s done.”

Preparations are complete.

I was dressed neatly and I did my hair well.

As I take my wallet and smartphone, put on my shoes, and leave the front door, I see a familiar car in front of the building.

It was Yoon Ji-an’s car, which he had driven once or twice.

I went straight down the stairs and headed towards her.

* * *

From Monday, the beginning of the first week, only three letters were stuck in her mind.

date.

It was also suggested by him himself.

Of course it wasn’t the first time.

There were countless men who had approached her, and she even went on dates with some of them.

However, I did not form a relationship with any of them.

‘waste of time.’

This is because the sweet relationship that others were eager to try felt like a waste of time to her.

Her friends said that to her.

I think that’s because I haven’t met a person I really like yet.

‘Then I will call Mr. Kim Do-jin…’ ?’

No, it’s not.

However, I was interested.

Both as a hunter and as a man.

That was the decisive moment when I became interested in men.

‘Kalash’s trials… .’

Contrary to its name, it was a place where you had to do something outrageous to get out.

It was then that she saw the man’s belongings for the first time.

Did you just look at it?

Didn’t he touch it with his hands and finally suck it with his mouth?

It was something that could not be helped.

If I didn’t do that, I would have been locked up for the rest of my life.

I just decided to consider it an unavoidable choice to conquer the dungeon, and even told Kim Do-jin that I would forget all my memories of that time.

‘I can’t forget it.’

The problem was that she herself could not forget the memories of that time.

It keeps coming to mind.

The feeling of his body becoming hot and the sight of him drooling every time I touch him.

Thinking about it gives me a strange feeling of pleasure.

‘Maybe today… .’

She hurriedly shook her head vigorously.

“W-what was I thinking…” .”

After waking her up by lightly tapping her cheek, she calmly began preparing to go out.

A black H-line skirt that falls slightly above the knees and a brown blouse with a hint of red.

An outfit that lets you breathe a little more than a stuffy suit.

There was also a small bag in there.

As she was about to leave the front door, she made up her mind and put on heels instead of low-heeled shoes.

“It’s a little uncomfortable… .”

My feet were a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t bother to change them.

Since it was a date, I wanted to look a little different from what I usually wear.

Go down to the parking lot, get in your car, and head out.

The destination is in front of Kim Do-jin’s house.

It was to be considerate of him who does not have a car yet.

Arriving at the right time, she parked the car on the side of the road and caught her breath.

“Whoa… , Why am I so nervous… .”

A tension that she had never felt before during an interview for the association was tightening around her body.

As I was slowly catching my breath, Kim Do-jin opened the front door a little early and came out.

A soft smile bloomed on her youthful face.

As I look at his excited face, those moments naturally overlap.

Suddenly I wanted to see it again.

The image of him at that time, helplessly melting and ecstatic with happiness.

“You came early? “Have you waited long?”

As she stared at Kim Do-jin, who got into the passenger seat and spoke to her in a relaxed manner, she thought to herself.

They say that if a man and a woman become dissatisfied even after only meeting for a day, they don’t know how far they will go.

Because they have already experienced it once.

‘Maybe today… .’

Wouldn’t it be possible to see that time again?

While I was lost in my own thoughts.

“Mr. Jian?”

Yoon Ji-an suddenly came to his senses at Kim Do-jin’s call.

“yes? Ah, yes!”

“Shall we leave first? “I think I need to get out of here wherever I go.”

I remember.

The sound of his breathing flowing out naturally as the pleasure spread throughout his body.

She fixed her gaze forward with a red face.

“Yes, then… first of all… , I’m leaving.”

After her car carrying the two people left the alley.

The woman who was looking down at the car while holding her breath on top of the building also disappeared with weak steps.
