by fnovelpiaAfter class is over.
Shin Yu-jeong, returning home by bus, suddenly felt empty.
This was because the vacancy of Kim Do-jin, who used to walk to and from school together when there was nothing special to do, became especially big today.
‘… ‘It’s been two weeks already.’
Those who obtained a hunter license while in school are provided with various conveniences so that they can combine their hunter activities with school life.
One of them is that if it is difficult to take a course due to activities such as dungeon raids or association missions, it will be canceled.
Kim Do-jin had not been to school for two weeks due to the dungeon raid.
Her eyes are full of dissatisfaction as she looks down at the smartphone she is holding in her hand.
‘How come I haven’t heard from you, you bastard?’
I thought maybe I was just playing around somewhere using dungeon raids as an excuse, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
‘Because the alibi is clear, well… .’
You can find out about him by accessing the Internet.
No, I found out that they didn’t bother to check.
As I walked through the school, it was full of students talking about him talking about him in today’s online article.
‘I think they’re going to attack some kind of ruin or something today.’
I saw this in an online article before going to sleep last night.
The dungeon we are going to attack today is the highest level among the B-classes, so only veterans visit it.
At the same time, the article said so.
Kim Do-jin plans to take a short break after finishing his last forced march today.
‘You’re coming home today, right?’
I feel worried and excited at the same time.
I wonder what if he fails in his attack or what if he gets injured, big or small, but I also get excited about seeing him in just a little while.
“Hehehehe.”
A pleasant smile escapes from between my lips.
‘I’m behind, Kim Do-jin. Until I dry up today… , Ah, isn’t it.’
Shin Yu-jeong, who was excited to cool down her naturally heated body when she thinks of him, pours cold water on her.
For the first time, she thought of him first instead of herself, and soon decided to stop teasing him tonight.
“… “You must be tired.”
You’ll be tired.
A lot of that too.
I came back after completing a hardcore schedule of conquering 15 dungeons over 10 days, so there was no way I wasn’t exhausted.
After getting off the bus and returning home, Shin Yu-jeong immediately changed into comfortable clothes and headed to Kim Do-jin’s room with the spare key she had secretly taken from her mother’s room.
There was no particular reason.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but I can’t make you sleep in a dust pit, okay.’
I begin to tidy up the room with poor skill.
Wipe down the floor that hasn’t been cleaned in several days with a wet tissue, then take the mattress outside and hit it with your rough hands to shake off the dust.
“phew… !”
When I see my room looking neat and tidy, I feel a lot more confident.
“Do you think it would be okay to get married right away at this rate? “Hmph!”
Shin Yu-jeong, who was thinking nonsense thoughts and smiling pleasantly, suddenly felt inadequate.
“If you add the smell of delicious food, it’s complete.”
It would be perfect to have a neatly organized room filled with the fragrant smell of the food you cooked yourself.
‘Kajitgeo, why don’t you try it?’
I thought about it for a moment, but
“… “Let’s not do anything pointless.”
she knows
My cooking skills are completely different from my mom’s.
I still vividly remember when I was young, when my mother was sick, I wanted to take care of her by making her porridge, but it almost made her condition worse.
“Time flies so fast.”
The red sunset flowing through the transparent glass window envelopes the room in red.
This means that the time for him to return home is getting closer.
She immediately closed the door, came out, and sat down on the bench.
I wanted to keep it neatly cleaned until I showed it to Kim Do-jin.
A part of my heart trembles.
I don’t feel like myself right now.
Although I often get scolded by my mother for being too lazy to clean my own room, I find it strange to see myself dutifully cleaning someone else’s room and laughing at the thought that he will like it.
What’s even scarier is that the reason for the change is her love for Kim Do-jin.
The thought of doing anything to avoid falling away from him, who has surpassed her expectations and is taking strides ahead of her, is weighing heavily on her head and shoulders.
The reason why we cannot easily shake off this anxiety is because of the uncertainty of relationships.
‘Me and Kim Do-jin… , what are you doing?’
My relationship with him is not clear at all.
It’s been a long time since we crossed the line to be friends, but lovers… The word is rarely said.
It’s a passionate relationship where they mix bodies whenever they get the chance, but it’s a relationship where you don’t know how it will change, like iron that gets heated and turns red and soft.
If you’re that anxious, shouldn’t you just hit the nail on the head?
I’ve thought about it several times.
But I missed the timing again and again, and now I’m afraid to say those words.
Kim Do-jin, who went on to hit the ground running, was able to meet a woman who was better than him.
For example, a high-level hunter in the same industry or an idol who often appears on TV.
“Ha, fuck.”
Shin Yoo-jeong spits out an irritated curse and ruffles her hair.
I don’t know how this happened.
“At first, I just tried to use it in moderation… .”
That feeling has now reached a point of no return and is constricting me.
The very fact that his approach was impure makes me feel frustrated, as if I have committed a sin against him.
If this is going to be the case, I think I should speak calmly, but when I stand in front of Kim Do-jin, my mouth freezes.
Because I can’t imagine what kind of facial expression he would make when he hears what I’m really thinking.
I was about to take a deep breath, frustrated with my situation where I couldn’t do this or that.
A car pulls in under the dim streetlights and stops in front of her house.
Soon, a familiar face gets out of the passenger seat.
Kim Do-jin is recognized by his outstanding eyesight that cannot even be compared to that of an ordinary person.
And even Yun Ji-an, the woman sitting in the driver’s seat with the window down.
“… “Unlucky bitch.”
It’s been a long time since I saw Yoon Ji-an’s face, and the memory of that time, which I had buried for a long time, comes back to me as clearly as if it was yesterday.
During his first attack with Kim Do-jin, he was the only one who watched the tragic scene from a distance.
I know it was a condition for leaving the room, but I still don’t like it.
Although it was only to satisfy the conditions, Yoon Ji-an’s actions seemed overly enthusiastic in Shin Yu-jeong’s eyes at the time.
The sight of them looking at each other and talking is very endearing.
A blush blooms on Yoon Ji-an’s face, wondering what on earth they are talking about.
It makes my heart feel even more uncomfortable because it looks like a woman with a man she likes in front of her.
“What on earth were we talking about that made us do that?” .”
I would like to know.
What are these two talking about?
Although you can see it with your eyes, it’s not within your reach to hear it with your ears, so it’s just frustrating.
Finally, Kim Do-jin, who has finished talking, sees off Yoon Ji-an as he leaves, and then enters the building.
The faint sound of footsteps coming from far away gradually became clearer, and eventually his hair began to flicker before his eyes.
Kim Do-jin soon appeared, and he had changed again in the two weeks I had not seen him for a while.
‘Something has changed.’
It’s hard to pinpoint and explain, but it feels clear that something has changed.
And that those changes made the distance between myself even greater.
Trying to hide that feeling, she greeted Kim Do-jin.
“… “Why are you so late?”
She cried out inwardly, feeling like she wanted to rip out all her hair.
Are you here now, did you have a hard time, wasn’t it hard, were you hurt anywhere, etc.
What I threw away, forgetting all the dozens of words I had prepared, was just a blunt rebuke.
The good news is that Kim Do-jin doesn’t seem to be in a bad mood despite my blunt greeting.
“How did you know I was coming and wait for you?”
“… “If you look at a few articles on the Internet, your schedule will be revealed.”
“So you waited because you thought I would come after seeing that?”
The moment Shin Yu-jeong saw his eyes full of laughter, as if he couldn’t bear it because he was so happy, he let out a loud noise.
“Okay, so I waited. What, what should I do?!”
I was embarrassed.
It felt like my heart, which had swelled after not seeing him for two weeks, was revealed to him.
So she screamed, and the response that came back tightened her heart even more.
“Why are you embarrassed about something like that?”
The moment when, with words filled with joy, he casually approached me and stretched out his arms to embrace me.
Shin Yu-jeong felt happy and at the same time her anxiety soared.
I wish I could stay in his arms like this for the rest of my life, but I don’t think I can.
Feeling like something would really happen if she became more accustomed to this, she forced her arm between herself and him to widen the distance.
“… … ?”
Kim Do-jin looks confused as to what is going on.
Shin Yu-jeong asked him with gritted teeth.
“Hey, let me ask you one thing.”
“What?”
“we… “What on earth are you doing?”
