Chapter 93
Kim Sae-Jin spent his time sparring with and taking care of other Orcs together with Kim Yu-Rin, here in the village. Since Orcs were naturally drawn towards powerful individuals, so in his eyes, she had bee quite a charming woman, which led to him forgetting about the passage of time; and it was already very late at night when they finally separated.
"Oh yeah~. It's all good…"
The clear illumination from the full moon high up on the dark and cloudless night sky coolly bathed the ground below.
While savouring the brilliance of the falling moonlight, Sae-Jin moved his feet. The light seemed to linger on with every footstep he left behind.
"…"
And before he knew it, his dazed stroll brought him back to the villa. There seemed to be an aura of loneliness creeping around this huge house with all of its lights off.
He grabbed the door handle and slowly pushed forward.
*SFX for noisy hinges*
Past the cold, indifferent noise, he saw the wide open living room. Now that he saw it in the darkness, he realised just how unnecessarily huge this place was.
Tthak-
When he closed the door, he sensed a person's presence, towards the living room's couch. Was she pretending to be asleep, or did he wake her up just now? Grinning slightly, he approached Yu Sae-Jung on the couch.
"…Are you awake?" (Sae-Jin)
Yu Sae-Jung didn't even budge, her face deeply buried in the cushions of the couch. Since he could hear her heartbeat increasing rapidly, she was indeed faking it, but was she angry at him being so late?
"…Hmph."
Unfortunately for her, Sae-Jin simply chose to go to his room instead. He didn't feel like humouring her at all if he could help it…
"Eu-eum… Oppa, you came back?"
At the same time, Yu Sae-Jung slowly raised her head up. She pretended to be woken up just now by keeping her eyes half-shut, while reaching out and holding his wrist tightly.
"Were you asleep?" (Sae-Jin)
"Mm. Because, the guy who said he'd be back by 5… hadn't e until 1 in the morning, you see."
"…"
He sat down on the couch and while smiling apologetically, brushed her hair.
Maybe the moonlight pouring down in the darkness was to blame, but for some reason, she looked especially pretty today. On top of this, she even exuded this unfamiliar sensuality as well. Half-open eyes, deeply blushing cheeks, and most of all, a very suggestive attire she had on. She was wearing only a thin one-piece night gown and whenever she moved her body, Sae-Jin could spy on the sight of her unexpectedly rich cleavage.
"…Why were you so late? You said you'd be home early." (Yu Sae-Jung)
Inside this darkened room, she continued to speak, her voice sounding weak.
"There was this thing I had to take care of, and I ended up being a little late." (Sae-Jin)
"It's not 'a little' but 'a lot'. Let's get that straight." (Yu Sae-Jung)
"…"
Yu Sae-Jung plained as she interlocked her fingers with his. Since he felt apologetic, he didn't offer any resistance, and she kept on playing with his hands.
"By the way, Oppa. Did you know? It's already been over two years since we first met."
As if it came to her just now, she mentioned this fact 'in passing'.
"It's been that long?" (Sae-Jin)
"We met during the early spring, 2nd year of high school, and I'm twenty now, so yeah, it just about checks out."
After thinking back for a bit, Sae-Jin suddenly broke out in short laughter.
"I remember now. You were quite rude back then. You seemed so expectant but when I introduced myself as a Hunter, your face became really distorted…"
"N, no way… I, I may have behaved like that before, but I was na??ve back then. Now, I'm a lot… different? I get to hear a lot nowadays that my personality has changed, you know? It's all because of you, Oppa."
"Now
? Hmm…"
He feigned falling into a deep dilemma, and sure enough, Yu Sae-Jung began throwing a tantrum, telling him to stop teasing her.
"What? Your first impression of me was that I was an impolite girl?" (Yu Sae-Jung)
"No, an impolite rich girl."
"…Hah."
And so, from those simple and ill-timed words, the pleasant memories began to bloom brightly in their minds.
When the two of them met for the first time, when they went out on a hunt together, when Kim Sae-Jin 'revealed' his identity to her, etc, etc… Time quickly flowed as they talked and soon, they had arrived at the day of Yu Sae-Jung's ing of age ceremony.
"And when Oppa tried to take advantage of me…" (Yu Sae-Jung)
"Mm? Oh, uh, at the time I was…"
"Let me finish first. Back then, I said I'd wait until Oppa truly likes me from the depth of your heart and left, right? I was such a world-class moron back then, you know?" (Yu Sae-Jung)
She then stopped her words, and as if she had decided on something, got right next to him while swallowing down her saliva.
"That night when I was leaving, I was like, I am so cool, can't you see… But, from the following week since then, I've been regretting it. Every night when I try to sleep, I regret what I've done, I kick away my duvet, and then regret that instead… Oppa knows this too, don't you? That I like Oppa a lot. I just couldn't stand it when I think about that great chance I messed up."
As the atmosphere turned a bit 'strange', Sae-Jin ended up scratching the blameless cheeks of his; meanwhile, Yu Sae-Jung took a deep breath.
"That's why, I'm going to say this out aloud. I really, really don't think I can wait for Oppa anymore. Can't you just help me somehow?"
