Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 58

It was scary enough being carried in bright daylight, but the quick, hissing change of vision in the darkness of night was even more disorienting.

“Ugh. I’m scared.

Hee-na clung tightly to Kang jin-hyeon’s neck and closed her eyes.

“……We’ll be there soon. You won’t feel dizzy this time.”

Kang whispered in a low voice to Hee-na.

Hee-na’s hair whipped around in the cool night breeze. The noise of the city rushed past her ears. Kang was moving too fast to be seen by anyone.

“……that was it.”

While Hee-Na was distracted, Kang jin-hyeon had arrived at an unknown destination.

The door slammed shut, and the outside world was completely silenced. Hee-Na cautiously opened her eyes, which had been tightly shut.

“Where was I?”

She was on the veranda of a house. It looked like they had entered through the porch window, not the front door.

“This can’t be an illegal home invasion, can it?

A cold sweat ran down her back.

She didn’t want to see the next day’s headline, “K-More S-class Hunter Under Investigation for Unlawful Home Invasion. She didn’t want to be his accomplice.

Fortunately, Kang jin-hyeon eased Hee-na’s worries.

“……This was one of my homes. it was where I live, so it was safer than anywhere else.”

He set Hee-na down on the floor and retrieved a pair of slippers from somewhere. He was drunk, but it strangely was common sense.

“Uh……. So this is where Mr. jin-hyeon lives.”

Hee-na looked around in disbelief. She was looking at the house of an S-class Hunter.

The lit house was eerily quiet and clean. There were few signs of human habitation. It was minimally furnished, and the interior was neutral in color.

It looked large for a single person, and small for the only S-class Hunter in Korea.

“It looked familiar.

Hee-na scratched her head, sneaking a peek around the house. It appeared to be a high-end apartment, but the layout was strangely familiar.

“…… Come here.”

Kang jin-hyeon pulled Hee-na’s arm as she looked around and led her into a room. Hee-na followed his hand and stumbled along.

It was a very strange situation. She had been drinking heavily and had entered a strange man’s house, and they were walking into a spooky room together……?

But despite this strange situation, I wasn’t particularly scared or uneasy.

‘was it because the other person is Hunter Kang jin-hyeon?

I had more faith in Hunter Kang jin-hyeon than I thought. Despite his cold exterior, he was a simple person.

Above all, he was like a well-trained dog, and he didn’t seem like someone who would ever harm Hee-na. At least, that was what she’d gotten to know over the months.

Even now, he was treating Hee-na like a treasure that might break if he didn’t treat her carefully.

“……Sat down.”

Kang invited Hee-Na to sit on the bed, which looked very fluffy and comfortable.

“This is the coziest and safest place here.”

He was like an animal that hides its most precious treasure tightly in its den. He smiled with relief as he tucked Hee-Na into bed, under the covers.

“Go, thank you.”

It was a romantic situation, but Hee-Na’s love cells were rusty and creaky.

Instead of finding romance in this situation, she felt like she was just another bone in the ground, a prized possession of a dog named Kang jin-hyeon. It was a very wrong perception.

Hee-na, who had never been drunk in her life, didn’t realize that a drunk person’s unconscious behavior could be as sincere as a drunken joke.

“Mr. jin-hyeon should went to sleep now.”

Hee-na urged Kang jin-hyeon gently. He put her on the bed and stared down at her. His gaze was dazed, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

“I just need to protect her like this.”

He flopped down on the floor, resting his back against the side of the bed, and stared at his surroundings.

It was an unusual injection indeed. It wasn’t a violent injection, but it was subtle.

‘I shouldn’t give Hunter Kang jin-hyeon too much alcohol in the future.

Hee-na sighed heavily and shifted on the bed. It was time to cast a skill.

I straightened the disheveled bed and fluffed the covers. As he finished with a pat on the mattress, Kang Jin Hyun glared at Hee Na. His gaze asked her what she was doing.

“Mr. jin-hyeon, came here.”

“……?”

“Just lie down here once, okay? Good girl?”

Hee-na patted the bed and coaxed Kang jin-hyeon over.

“If you lie here for a while, I’ll give you something delicious next time. What did you say you like?”

He mumbled shyly.

“……Everything you’ve ever done for me is delicious.”

“Then I’ll do everything for you.”

Kang jin-hyeon hesitated.

“……But I have to be on guard.”

By the time he answered, it seemed like he had her. Hee-Na laughed out loud, cheering inwardly.

“it was okay, you can just lie here and watch over me. You’re an S-class Hunter, you can get back up quickly no matter what, right?”

“……Yes.”

Kang jin-hyeon nodded slowly. Drunk, he was a hundred times simpler than usual. If you asked him to trade one candy for one gemstone, he’d probably do it.

But instead of doing such a bad thing, Hee-Na focused her efforts on putting the drunkard down. There was nothing like sleep to deal with a drunk. Put him to sleep and you were almost done.

“……So, I’ll lie down for a while.”

The drunk finally fell into hee-na’s trap. He crawled onto the bed, rested his head on the pillow, and gave a small yawn.

Then one, two, three.

As soon as he counted to three, a deep breath echoed through the room. Hee-Na’s ‘cozy bed’ skill had worked.

Where as before the effects of the Class A sleeping bag had overlapped and lulled Kang to sleep, this time, the alcoholic energy was stronger, and he seemed to fall asleep quickly.

“Ugh. He didn’t wake me up last time, but I had a hard time putting him to sleep this time.”

Hee-na looked down at Kang jin-hyeon, who was fast asleep, his sharp features gone, his expression peaceful. He didn’t look like someone who had been drinking too much.

‘You were right. I don’t see any drunkenness on his face.

Drunk to the point of stupidity, Kang jin-hyeon’s appearance hadn’t changed except for his eyes becoming glassy.

His physical abilities seemed to have remained the same. He easily dodged Woo Min-ah’s poke in the side, and he flew and ran through the dark city with Hee-na in his arms.

The only thing that had changed was his tone and demeanor. His tone had slowed down a bit, and his behavior had become more erratic.

Considering that he was drunk, Kang jin-hyeon was quite a gentlemanly drunkard.

The problem was that his uncontrollable behavior was not normal.

“He’s always been unruly, but this time he was really out of control.

He was so worried about her safety that he wanted to bring her home to protect her. There was no such thing as a secret leap.

Hee-na shook her head and carefully climbed down the bed.

The bed was big enough for the three of them. With a slight exaggeration, it was only the size of her old “Home Sweet Home” studio room. Of course, the one with the exaggerated size was the studio room.

Anyway, Kang jin-hyeon was lying flat in the middle of the bed. His hands were clasped together and resting on his stomach, making him look like a sleeping beauty.

Hee-na pulled the quilt up over his shoulders. Kang jin-hyeon’s expression relaxed as he felt the cozy blanket wrapped around him.

“Good night.”

After a quiet goodbye, Hee-na walked out of the room with a gentle step.

Somehow, she felt like she had secretly made a secret that she couldn’t tell anyone else.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time she’d put Kang to bed. Hee-na had knocked him out in the dungeon before.

“But this is Mr. jin-hyeon’s house.

Entering an extremely private space and leaving after putting an opponent to sleep……. It was a situation that, without context, could be seen as sleazy.

“Drunken Donna, why are you so hot?

My cheeks flushed unnecessarily.

Even as she thought this, Hee-na moved carefully to close the door, not wanting to wake the landlord.

“Phew.

With a sigh of relief, she recalled the view from inside the room. The windows were drawn with blackout curtains. It was a dark bedroom, but I could still make out the fact that there was no furniture in the room except for the bed.

“it was boring.

I’d heard that I couldn’t fall asleep, but this room felt like it had been stripped of everything but what I needed to sleep. And the room was deafeningly quiet as if it had been soundproofed.

“You can sleep at home tonight.”

It was a strange way to enter a man’s house, but it was one of the things she would have to do in the next few days. Hee-Na decided to think of it as starting work a few days early.

On the one hand, she wondered if she should get an extra paycheck, and her worker’s brain did a little work.

But when she remembered the price of the three houses she had just received, she realized that this extra work was a service.

[Lee Hee-won: Where were you? You seem to be running late. Oh Sack is looking for you.]

[Yi Hee-won: They’re going to prosecute you for staying out without permission.]

[Lee Hee-won: If you were scared because you were late, should I pick you up?]
