Chapter 32: Quest (5)

“What do you think is out there?”

“Well… whatever it is, it definitely won’t be more delicious than the food you are eating here.”

“Wow…”

“Maybe Deok-gu wants something to eat.”

“Well…”

“…”

“…”

“It’s okay.”

The two who were talking to each other became strangely quiet. This had become a regular occurrence now.

Jung Hayan was staring at me and couldn’t hold back her tears.

It wasn’t as passionate as the first time, but every time I saw her tears falling like that, I felt a little strange. Of course, the situation itself was not that good.

It was because Kim Jae-joon and Jung Jin-ho kept looking at this side.

In order to ruin the atmosphere of the party even more, during various conversations, Jung Hayan cried out in this way, and it was unavoidable that the atmosphere became a little quiet. Someone would have thought it was me who died, not Lee Ki-cheol.

In fact, it became a routine for Jung Hayan to stare at Kim Jae-joon. Nobody could imagine how uncomfortable Kim Jae-joon was.

They were already in a position to stand on our side.

As Lee Ki-cheol suffered an unexpected accident, the balance of power that had been maintained collapsed. Jung Jin-ho’s party actually seemed to have given up trying to hunt us.

Jung Jin-ho might have decided that it would be better not to launch an attack as long as there wasn’t any good opportunity to do so.

‘I would have done the same thing.’

Even if I was in Jung Jin-ho’s position, I would have completely canceled the plan to kill Kim Hyun-sung’s party. This was why they were sensitive to even the slightest conflict.

“I’m really sorry.”

“No, Mr. Jinho. That’s a little embarrassing. In fact, I am the one who should apologize.”

He had been apologizing like this over and over again.

“I… I was just excited.”

“Of course you were excited. I also apologize again.”

I don’t know what the two had talked about, but whenever Jung Jin-ho apologized, Kim Jae-joon also expressed his apology.

The problem was that, little by little, Jung Hayan was showing hostility.

“I, why did I do that, I’m sorry…”

More often than not, they talked about this among themselves as if it was not for us to listen. I was not worried about them talking about attacking us, as I could discern that much.

What humored me was Yoo Seok-woo’s reaction.

“…”

From the time I first revealed that I was close to Jung Hayan, he seemed to be in a bad mood. As expected, when Jung Hayan and I started to hang around, he often showed signs of discomfort.

In particular, it seemed to him that Hayan had swollen eyes because she had been crying for me. That was how much Jung Hayan was thinking of me.

‘Yoo Seok-woo…’

In the first place, he was nothing more than a rapist for Jung Hayan.

In fact, even if he had only tried to do it once, it was still correct to say that him being here was slightly absurd.

Considering what he had done before, it would not have been possible for him to hang out with their group, but it seemed that Jung Jin-ho had made a deal with him. That was also why he had got that job and gained experience by sticking with them.

It was his deranged illusion if he thought that he could get my beloved and get away with it, but as the plan had been canceled already, I sufficed by sending him a hateful gaze.

In any case, this party was heading in a good direction with respect to friendliness, at least superficially. It was the dream party that forgot old disputes and did not fight.

All of this was an atmosphere created by Jung Jin-ho and Kim Jae-joon, but unfortunately, I didn’t want to be so embarrassingly peace loving like they were.

Kim Hyun-sung sometimes seemed to be thinking about something. I hoped that it was something about how to dispose of Jung Jin-ho, as they were the murderers who killed Park Hye-young. I thought it was right for them to die here.

In fact, if you considered the reaction that Kim Hyun-sung showed when he first saw Jung Jin-ho, there was a big possibility of that.

Jung Jin-ho, Yoo Seok-woo, and Kim Jae-joon were still wearing pretentious smiles.

Kim Hyun-sung, of course, looked as if he were about to go crazy. This guy would probably be the first one to attack.

At least for Park Deok-gu, Jung Hayan and I, he was looking for a cause or good opportunity, as it was certain that he did not want to let the other party know his true intentions.

No, that was certain.

A good opportunity to kill them, or a justification to attack, from Kim Hyun-sung’s occasional frown, he seemed to be thinking about these things.

‘Can I help him?’ Kim Hyun-sung was implicative of needing help.

We needed a situation where we had a total moral high ground and could attack them.

For example…

‘I get attacked first,’ What would they do then?

Perhaps that was an ideal situation.

The warriors of justice fighting against a group of cowardly criminals who had attacked suddenly gave a pretty good feeling.

The problem was that Jung Jin-ho and his lackeys would not attack us. However, considering that one was an angry bufoon and the other was feeling jealous, it was not difficult.

Maybe it was as easy as a yawn.

‘Provocation, after all, is my specialty.’

In particular, in the case of Yoo Seok-woo, there was a possibility that Jung Jin-ho may behave unexpectedly as well, as he had just entered Jung Jin-ho’s party. These thoughts went through my head in an instant.

First of all, it didn’t appear to be a bad idea to use Hayan to disturb them. I didn’t have any other plans.

“Ah…”

This would be enough.

“Oppa…”

Hayan whispered in a small voice.

It seemed a little embarrassing, but I didn’t dare to move my hand. She had been trembling just because I had put a hand on her waist.

Someone might think that I was walking with Hayan for support. The only ones that felt the ambiguity of the hand’s position were Jung Hayan and Yoo Seok-woo.

It was neither the waist, nor the pelvis, nor the buttocks. The reaction came just by holding the boundary line between the sensitive areas.

‘Pop…’

I could feel his anger from over here.

“Ah, Hayan. Sorry…”

“Okay, it’s okay. It’s a comfortable place… You can grab it…”

“Still…”

“It’s okay…”

The expression as if his beloved girlfriend was stolen looked horrible.

While Kim Hyun-sung, Jung Jin-ho, Park Deok-gu, and Kim Jae-joon were talking about the dungeon, he was looking only at this side.

As I slightly lowered my hand, Jung Hayan bowed her head.

‘I like it so much…’

This reaction was not expected, but on the contrary, Yoo Seok-woo had a face that signaled he was close to blowing up.

We had eye contact for a second, and I did not forget to have a smile on my face.

‘I dare you,’ that was what my face covertly expressed.

I did not have to settle with a verbal message. Actions and facial expressions are sometimes a great means of communication.

“Thank you, Hayan. Isn’t it difficult?”

“Ah! No. Compared to what my Oppa helped me with, this is nothing,” Jung Hayan actually still wanted me to hold on to her.

I was holding onto her really smoothly, so it was not unreasonable for her to have such a reaction.

It didn’t matter if Yoo Seok-woo was serious about Hayan in the first place or not. If he thought about my actions, I think he might have to get serious, but…

‘Good.’

It was a seed that had been sown.

Besides this, there were also other things that were going on. Like Hayan’s eyes or sweet voice, and the way that she was worried about me right now. Of course, it didn’t sound sweet to me, but I knew that a voice that seemed like it was covered in honey would crush his pained heart even more.

‘Hold her hand.’

‘Pull her body close.’

‘Put your hands on her back or shoulders, and maintain moderate tension.’

‘Let’s have a nice time.’

It was a method that triggered sexual tension.

The situation was such that Jung Hayan’s face had already turned red.

Nevertheless, the smile hanging from the corner of her mouth never disappeared. I thought I had to stop because her breathing seemed to be getting rougher…

I could not stop myself.

In the end, I asked her whether she was comfortable.

“Hayan, you look very difficult… My, I…”

“…”

“Haha.”

The sound of laughter came out from my mouth unintentionally. This was because I saw that Hayan completely ignoring Yoo Seok-woo.

You could see Yoo Seok-woo’s face turn red for a different reason than that of Hayan.

Kim Hyun-sung, Jung Jin-ho, and Park Deok-gu looked back at the little fuss that was happening behind them.

Park Deok-gu immediately opened his mouth when he saw Jung Hayan breathing out a little harshly.

“Oh, my sister, are you hurt?”

“No, Hayan. Actually, I am not hurt that much…”

“Ah! No! I… I will help you…”

“Well, it seems like my sister wants to be with her older brother… If it gets hard, you have to tell me.”

“Yeah.”

Park Deok-gu intervened at a pretty good timing. He was indirectly letting me know that Jung Hayan wanted it. Not that I wanted that, either.

As I put my hand on Hayan’s waist and looked back, I met Yoo Seok-woo’s eyes again.

Seeing my smile, it must be difficult for him to hold back.

“So sweet.”

“Yeah?”

“It’s nothing, Hayan.”

“Okay…”

You could see the guy shaking slightly.

He should have behaved quite naturally if he had been a person that had good self-control in the first place, but then he would not have done what he did in the shelter.

If Jung Jin-ho was alone, this would have been more difficult.

Seeing that he was holding his sword tightly, he seemed to want to poke me with his sword right now, but for the moment, I wanted to compliment him for his patience. I didn’t know if the stimulus was a bit lacking or if he was waiting for an opportunity, maybe it was both.

It was when I looked back and grabbed Hayan’s waist once more that something happened.

“Kie-e-e-e-ee!”

“Prepare for battle.”

Good opportunities come with good timing.

I lifted the spear with a weak expression, and Hayan also got away for a while and began to prepare a spell.

Park Deok-gu, Jung Jin-ho, and Kim Hyun-sung were focusing their eyes on the front.

“Fuhhhhh…”

I began to mutter quietly in a voice that could only be heard by him, “You are envious, right?”

“What…”

“She was really soft. Our Hayan,” the corners of my mouth could not stop from forming a smile on my mouth

“There are five of them. Prepare for battle as soon as possible!”

“You bastard!”

He suddenly lifted his sword.

I was wondering if I should run because I could see the blade coming towards me directly…

‘It’s better to get hit,’ I knew I could endure it.

As Jung Hayan had the healing ring, I would be able to easily recover from the wounds I would receive. I began to feel a creepy sensation along with a rumbling sound.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Only

Then came the pain that was incomparable to being hit in the face. A scream erupted from my mouth, unknowingly, because of the searing pain that burned through my body.

It was no wonder that everyone’s eyes were focused here in an instant.

Jung Jin-ho and Kim Jae-joon look like they could not speak. However, they could understand that something had happened.

Yoo Seok-woo had stabbed me.

I was worried that Jung Jin-ho would treat Yoo Seok-woo as a madman and throw him away to keep being friendly…

Then I realized that my worries were useless due to his shouts.

“I… I! I did it! Jinho-ssi!! Jaejoon-ssi!! I’ve done it!”

Of the cards, Jung Jin-ho had, at least one was this idiot.
