chapter 63
EPISODE 63
“Ouch, it was Saxin.”
Hee-Na clutched her throbbing joint and walked to work at the Blue Dragon Guild.
Her body ached from the previous evening’s battle with the Flying Fly. Her whole body ached from the strain of using muscles she had never used before.
I patted my aching shoulder and looked at my reflection in the elevator mirror.
“I slept through two pots of rice, but my face wasn’t puffy.
Hee-na had to scarf down two pots of rice after using up her stats yesterday. She didn’t care that Hee-won was horrified by her sister’s huge appetite. She felt like she would faint if she didn’t eat immediately.
This was an energy drain, a phenomenon that occurred when one consumed stats beyond their limit.
Normally, if you didn’t drink a potion, you’d be incapacitated and would have to stay down for days.
Luckily, Hee-Na had the skill “Bapshim” and was able to miraculously bypass the energy drain.
But once her energy was drained, she couldn’t help it, and she felt weaker than usual. Hee-na groggily opened the conference room door.
“…… Team Leader Hee-Na, did something happen?”
Mr. Kang Mok-hyeon, the head of the HR team, was about to greet Hee-na when he noticed that her complexion was worse than usual.
“Oh, there were bugs in the house yesterday, so I had to catch them…….”
Hee-na’s answer made Kang Mok-hyeon look puzzled.
“Bugs came out of your apartment? That can’t be true…….”
It happened in ‘Home Sweet Home’ not in the new apartment, but…… Hee-na stammered modestly.
“Well, I don’t know, they just appeared out of nowhere, so I was surprised.”
“Oh, I’ll call a professional right away.”
At Kang Mok-hyeon’s suggestion, Hee-na waved her hand.
“No, I’ve caught the bug and done all the aftercare, and I don’t think you’ll need to, since it won’t be coming back for a while.”
“was that so?”
Mok-hyeon Kang, the head of HR, nodded and got straight to the point.
“I’d like to start with a quick briefing on the Awakened State Management team that you’ll be leading.”
He went on to explain what Hee-Na would be doing as the team leader and sole member of the Awakened State Management Team.
There were only two things she needed to do.
First, prepared meals for S-class Hunter Jinhyun Kang.
Second, help S-class Hunter Kang Jin-hyun sleep.
In other words, all she had to do was feed him and put him to bed. For Hee-na, a Housekeeper class, the task was not too difficult.
“So, do I have to commute to Hunter Kang’s residence?”
After listening intently to the explanation, Hee-na raised her hand to ask the question she was most curious about, and Kang Mok-hyeon stood up and gestured for her to follow him.
“No, I want to show you something first, please follow me.”
“Oh, okay!”
Hee-na followed Kang Mokeohyun without a word.
Even though she was given the prestigious title of Awakening State Management Team Leader, there was still a part of her that was still silver.
And in a workplace where the boss was the one who says, ‘Yes, yes, yes!
Hee-na followed Kang Mok-hyeon into the elevator and got off at the 13th floor. The hallway was very quiet as if it was a place where people didn’t came and went.
“Were they giving me a private office?” she wondered.
“This was it.”
As I pondered, Kang Mok-hyeon stopped in front of a door. There was a plaque next to the door that read, “Awakened State Management Team, Team Leader Lee Hee-na.
“This space will be used by Team Leader Lee Hee-na from now on.”
HeeNa walked through the door that Kang held open for her.
“Wow……!”
Hee-na’s mouth dropped open in amazement. Everything in the room was perfect.
“We did the renovations while the team leader was on vacation. It looks a little rushed, so there might be some gaps. If you tell me, I’ll make it up to you.”
Mok-hyeon Kang gestured around the space, unsure if he meant it or not.
Hee-na’s private office was a far cry from Woo Min-ah’s one-room office.
One side of the room was lined with panoramic windows, so you could see the view, but other than that, the atmosphere was completely different.
The office consisted of two rooms. There were two areas: a private office for Hee-Na to do her paperwork and a kitchen for her to cook.
The office space was plain.
It was furnished with a moderately comfortable chair and desk, with a table and a few small sofas scattered around to accommodate guests.
But the kitchen, beyond a small false wall, was different.
“It was so pretty!”
As I walked into the kitchen, I was greeted by a spacious and sophisticated space.
The kitchen was calm and pretty, like something out of an interior magazine.
The sink was made of solid wood and had a warm grain. The dark wood color of the cabinets gave the whole kitchen a clean look.
The ceiling, on the other hand, was painted in a soft white tone so it didn’t look too heavy.
The faucet above the sink, the sink handles, and everything else was stylish and pretty.
Above the island sink, which was curved into the shape of a steamer, were cute jars of condiments.
Next to it, a small round table and chairs were set up for a quick bite to ate.
The small items on the table made it look like a small cafe.
If it were Hee-nara, she would have noticed Kang Mok-hyeon, the head of the HR team, next to her.
But in her role as a housekeeper, she couldn’t help but notice the perfect kitchen in front of her.
“Oh……. You have all the cooking utensils and dishes?”
Hee-Na rushed to the kitchen and opened the sink door one by one.
Each time she opened it, an organized array of pots, pans, plates, flips, knives, and more popped out. They all looked expensive and luxurious.
“Wow!”
Hee-Na exclaimed as she opened each storage drawer. It was like opening a box of Christmas presents.
There was nothing that didn’t catch her eye. She had never realized how beautiful some cooking utensils could be.
“was this all for me?”
Hee-Na asked, poking her head out of the cabinets to look.
Mok-hyeon Kang, who had been watching from a distance, nodded.
“Yes, it was her personal space, and since she needs to cook, we’ve prepared cooking facilities for her.”
“I never thought you would prepare something like this…….”
Hee-Na clasped her hands together in excitement and her eyes sparkled. Her heart swelled at the thought of having this gorgeous space all to herself.
“The thought of working here makes me so happy, I could came here every day!”
“You don’t have to come every day, but……. If you come to work on weekends, you’ll get overtime pay.”
Kang Mok-hyeon accepted Hee-na’s emotional cheer with a fairly numb expression.
“Oh, and on rare occasions, you may need to travel to Hunter Kang’s home. In that case, I’ll make sure to give you a traveling allowance.”
“I’ll take it!”
Hee-Na replied coolly.
I can’t imagine having to went to someone else’s house to did work……. It was a lot of pressure, but it was something she was always wanted to do.
Moreover, it was not difficult for Hee-na, who had already moved in with Kang Jin-hyun due to an unfortunate accident.
In some ways, seeing him drunk after a night of drinking brought them closer together.
“So, what should I do from today?”
Kang Mok-hyeon handed her the file iron he was holding.
“First, took this.”
“What iwas that?”
She opened it up and saw a timetable stapled to it.
“It was a month’s schedule for Hunter Kang Jin-hyun. Unless there was an emergency, like a gate runaway, he usually sticks to this schedule.”
I glanced at today’s date and saw a few press interviews scheduled.
Just like Kang Jin-hyun had drunkenly said two days ago.
Hee-na glanced at the file, then asked cautiously.
“was it okay to give me something so important?”
A celebrity’s schedule, even an S-class hunter’s schedule, could be handed over like this?
“Of course, this information was confidential. However, in the case of Lee Hee or the team leader, it was something they need to know because they were in charge of taking care of Hunter Kang Jin-hyun.”
Kang Mok-hyeon emphasized again and again that this information should not be leaked to the outside world.
“That concludes the briefing. From now on, you will commute to this location, prepare your meals according to Hunter Kang’s schedule, and if you have any sleeping issues, please contact …… here.”
Mok-hyeon Kang pulled something out of his inventory and set it down. It was a spherical object with Hee-na.
“wasn’t this a Class A sleeping bag?”
It was Kang’s Class A sleeping bag.
“That was right. If Team Leader Lee Hee-na puts a rest buff skill on this sleeping bag, Hunter Kang Jin-hyun will take it home and sleep in it.”
“Aha.”
I was worried that I would have to went to Kang’s house and lull him to sleep, but I was glad to hear that wasn’t the case.
Right now, Hee-na’s ‘Cozy Bed’ skill rank is C. The 20% buff would last for 12 hours.
“I’ll use the skill on my sleeping bag right before I leave work.
If he cast the skill around 6 p.m., he could sleep until at least 6 a.m. the next day.
While I calculated the duration of the skill in my head, Kang finished his explanation.
