Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 59

When she turned on her phone, she saw several messages from her brother. Hee-na smirked at Hee-won’s message.

‘You were picking me up when all I need is a wall to open the door. You were so nice.

She’d forgotten about her skills. But it was comforting to know that her family was waiting for her at home.

“I’d better get inside before I worry more.

Hee-Na searched the house for a suitable space to open the door.

The room was dark and deserted. But at the same time, she felt a strange sense of foreboding.

“What was it?”

I couldn’t have been in an S-class Hunter’s home before, but the space felt strangely familiar.

“Came to think of it, it looks similar to my new house…….”

I muttered and went through the living room to the veranda. There were shoes on the veranda.

I picked up my shoes in front of the bay window and looked out the window at the same time.

“Huh?”

His eyes widened at the familiar scene in front of him.

“Huh?”

Hee-Na threw the shoes in her hands away and clung to the veranda window. She rubbed her eyes.

“was I drunk?”

The view from the veranda was very familiar.

“Why does it look like it was the same view as my house?”

Yes, it was the same view from Hee-Na’s apartment.

Although she had only just moved in, she had a good idea of what was outside her apartment.

There were a few more apartments and a grocery store in the complex. It was a busy neighborhood, with main streets and large buildings dotting the landscape. And…….

“……I saw the Blue Dragon Guild building.”

The angle from which I could see the Blue Dragon Guild building was the same as Hee-na’s house. Wasn’t that the house she chose because it was closest to her job?

Instead of opening Home Sweet Home and going home, Hee-na opened the front door of Kang jin-hyeon’s house and went out. She wanted to get a sense of the situation.

The thud of the door closing confirmed her suspicions. Two front doors, an elevator, and a staircase. It was familiar. This was Hee-Na’s apartment.

I whipped my head around to see the lake of doors that had just closed.

“……1212.”

It was next door to Hee-Na’s apartment, 1211.

At the same time, I remembered what I had heard from the security guard earlier in the day.

“I’ve never seen anyone living in 1212 in all the years I’ve been working here.

‘He was been living here for a long time, but he wasa bit of a ghost, and I think he was been living here for a while because he has a cleaning lady came and went. There was a lot of construction and stuff.

‘It was probably hard I’ve been there a few times before to get some kind of agreement, but he never came out Won.

“Room 1211 has been vacant for a long time, and I was really glad that such a nice young lady moved in.

“No way?”

Could he have given Hee-na the apartment next door to Kang jin-hyeon on purpose?

Hee-na would be in charge of Kang jin-hyeon’s life from now on, so it made sense for the guild to give her a house near him.

Even as she tried to make sense of it in her head, Hee-na couldn’t believe it and took the elevator to the first floor herself.

When she got down to the ground floor, it was clear. She saw the familiar guardhouse and the familiar parking lot. It was indeed Hee-Na’s apartment.

She went back up to the 12th floor and punched in the door lock number of room 1211, the front door of her supposed home.

She swiped.

The door lock glowed green and displayed an open sign.

“Heh…….”

Hee-Na fiddled with the doorknob until the door didn’t close, beep, beep, beep, beep. She wasn’t sure what to make of this.

As soon as the door to Home Sweet Home opened, Hee-won, who was half lying on the couch, sat up. He seemed to have been waiting for Hee-Na.

“Hey, you were a little late. By the way, were you playing Go today……”

Hee-na cut off Hee-won’s words.

“Brother.”

“Huh? Why?”

Hee-won’s face grew serious at her sister’s seriousness.

“What was wrong? Why, the old landlord can’t pay our rent?”

He assumed the worst thing he could think of.

“No, that was not true. Things were going well.”

Of course, what Hee-won said was terrible. But this wasn’t that kind of situation.

“Then what was it? Did you get fired?”

Hee-won assumed the second worst.

“That was not it either.”

Hee-Na shook her head.

“Then why was it so serious? Just tell me about it.”

“……that.”

“That?”

Hee-Na swallowed hard, moistening her dry lips.

“There was a Hunter named Kang jin-hyeon living next door to my house.”

“Jin Hyun Kang? The S-class Hunter of the Blue Dragon Guild?”

He asked in surprise.

“Yep. I just went to Hunter Kang’s house, and it was next door to ours.”

Hee-na’s words made Hee-won jump to his feet. He looked like his ass was on fire.

“What? Why would you went to his house?”

“I don’t know. He told me the layout of the house was similar. It was the same apartment, so of course it was!”

“Hee-na, you didn’t went alone, did you go with him or Woo Hunter?”

“I know my apartment had good security, but I didn’t know it was so secure that an S-class hunter could live there, and the rent was so expensive!”

“Sis, could you answer that? What business does an over-aged virgin have going to a creepy guy’s house, and drinking!”

“Eh, right next door, what can we do?”

The siblings spoke into thin air.

“Lack of communication. The plague of modern society.”

The five-year-old crawled out and flicked its antennae. It looked as if it had a tongue.

Badui, who followed it out, ran around the living room in circles, gawking at the flower buds as if he didn’t know what was wrong.

The situation calmed down only after Baduk stretched out on the living room floor.

With a sigh, Hee-won picked it up and placed it in a special pot. It rooted itself into the potting soil and rubbed its chin.

“Anyway. Hee-Na, let’s sat down and talk.”

Hee-won sat down on a chair at the kitchen table with the plant in her arms.

Hee-na, who had regained her composure after seeing the go player’s distraught state, also pulled out a chair with Oh Sae-yi on her lap.

“#We communicate together☆”

Oh, Haekyi insisted on proper communication between siblings. He was a snail who thought about it all the time but knew nothing.

“Who were going to speak first?”

The siblings decided on an order.

“You went first.”

Hee-na had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she gave way to her brother, who seemed to have tons of questions.

Otherwise, Hee-won looked like she was going to die of impatience.

“First of all, who did you go to Hunter Kang’s house with?”

“Only I went.”

“You, you only went……?”

Hee-won’s voice trembled slightly. Her eyes also seemed to be twitching.

“Where’s Wu Hunter, the guy you said you’d eat with, and why are you the only one……? No, didn’t something happen there?”

“Oh.”

Only then did Hee-Na realize what her brother was worried about.

Hee-won was worried that something had happened between them. Sexual extortion by power, to be exact.

It was ridiculous.

Hee-na quickly threw up her hands.

“Brother. I’ve never done anything that you were worried about. Did you think Mr. jin-hyeon was such a person?”

“……What, when did Hunter Kang turn into Mr. jin-hyeon?”

Hee-won seemed to be stuck in a different place.

“No, big brother. Calm down. It was not like that. and it was not like we were even related.”

As far as Hee-Na was concerned, he’d have to die and be reborn about five times before anything “like that” could happen between him and her.

She didn’t think she was inadequate, but at least she knew her world was different from Kang’s. It was like a dog and a bird marrying.

Most of all, she didn’t want to get entangled in the world of S-class hunters. Of course, she was already entangled, but she didn’t want to lose her normalcy any further.

“I was going to live with my brother, Oh Sae-yi, and play Go.

Hee-na looked at the family sitting around the table and vowed to herself.

“Hey, you never know what was going to happen to you. Hunter Kang jin-hyeon seems to have good character, but I disagree. He was too famous, and he was an S-class Hunter. What he does was dangerous.”

Hee-won didn’t stop at turning on the barn, he also said something about his in-laws. He seemed to have already forgotten that he was a D-ranked farmer who worked as a Hunter.

“It was not true.”

When I waved my hand in denial, Hee-won gave me a suspicious look and shut up.

“Anyway, nothing happened……. Okay.”

He knew very well from long experience that the only thing he would get from further questioning would be a gouged-out eye.

Besides, even if they were siblings, their private lives were private. He didn’t know what else to say if she said nothing had happened.

“Then what were you saying, that Hunter Kang jin-hyeon lives next door?”

Hee-na sighed heavily at her brother’s question. Suddenly, her anxiety deepened.

“Yeah. That was the problem. What should I do?”

“What was the problem? We were just neighbors. …was it because he has a grudge against you?”

Hee-Na ignored the nonsense. Instead, she whined about her worries.

“There’s an S-class hunter living next door. I saw him today, and he has good ears, so he can overhear conversations in closed rooms. And we were going to live in that house, not a new apartment. What if jin-hyeon notices that he can’t hear anything from next door?”
