The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter

chapter 6



6 – Just the two of us on the bed

After regaining my senses, I asked Choi Soo-jung as if arguing.

“What does that have to do with healing?”

As if she knew what she was going to ask, Choi Soo-jeong answered in a relaxed tone.

“It’s because I have to directly touch the magic circuit. We need to be prepared for any eventual magical reverse flow.”

“You don’t have to do that at night, right?”

“No. The most stable time of day is just before going to bed. At that time, starting full-scale treatment is the safest way without sequelae.”

I’ve read numerous theoretical books on magical powers in the past for treatment, so I know there’s no lie in that statement, but it’s kind of awkward to just accept it.

Once a man and a woman are lying in the same bed at night, there is no law that nothing will happen.

If you seduce me like before, it’s unclear how long my patience will last.

“And since I decided to do as I was told, complaints are prohibited now, Wonwoo.”

“Whew, I see.”

She answered with a sigh. Anyway, the regret is now on my side.

In fact, it’s ridiculous to say more to an S-class healer with a nuance like an instruction, so I have no choice but to pray that nothing special will happen.

“Then, please follow me. I’ll tell you the changing room and shower room. Oh, and wait.”

Soo-jung Choi went to her small chest of drawers and took out her clothes.

Light blue clothes fluttering thinly on her long arms.

He handed me a patient uniform that is common in hospitals.

“Why is this again… ?”

“Ah, in order to sense the flow of magical power well, it must be thin, right? It will be uncomfortable even while sleeping.”

“Yes, I guess.”

“Oh, and you know you shouldn’t wear underwear, right?”

She tried to question that statement again, but thought it was all right now, so she just nodded and accepted it without saying anything.

‘I really don’t know anymore!’

I thought to myself as I walked along Choi Soo-jeong, who went ahead to tell me where to go to the locker room.

*

“Wow. Can you sleep a little wider this way?”

Sujeong Choi pushes the beds in the hospital room apart, folds the handles next to each other, and attaches them together.

The size is wide enough that two people do not have to sleep right next to each other.

After that, Sujeong Choi turned to me and asked.

“You didn’t do that out of regret, did you?”

“Ah… no! What are you talking about?”

“Whoops, it’s a joke. It’s a joke. Well, I’m open whenever you want.”

She protested, frowning at Choi Soo-jeong, who smiled again and secretly spit out seductive words.

“… Stop teasing me An important treatment is just around the corner.”

“I’m just doing it to relieve tension. Of course half of the sincerity is also mixed? Heh.”

Cold-hearted, prickly, dodo, high posture, indifference.

Usually these are the words that reveal Choi Soo-jung’s personality in fragments, but she is completely different in front of me.

She smiles so well that one wonders if she was a woman who smiles so well that others can see her, and then puts on a seductive smile that can attract a man in 10 seconds.

I think if Choi Soo-jung’s fans saw this, they would be very shocked.

“Then, I’ll do some preparations to stabilize my magic before I change into my pajamas.”

As Sujeong Choi stretched out her hand towards one of her attached beds, her golden light flashed out quickly.

The light shone around the bed, then went out and disappeared in an instant.

“Oh, this [Cradle of Light], Right?”

“Oh, you know that!”

It was impossible not to know that it was a famous skill that allowed a saintess to enter Choi Soo-jung’s nickname.

A morale level healing skill that stabilizes the target’s mind while restoring not only wounds but also physical strength.

According to Choi Soo-jeong in her interview, she knows that she doesn’t use her mana because she consumes a lot of mana, but she didn’t expect to see it right in front of her.

“It feels good that you noticed it as soon as you saw it.”

“Doesn’t everyone know?”

“It’s important that Wonwoo recognizes me, and I don’t care if the rest know or not.”

When you talk without being careless, the heartfelt expressions of affection that suddenly come in with a hook make your heart tremble.

The deeper the question, the deeper the question.

What on earth is it that makes you love me so much?

“I’m going to wash up and change some clothes.”

“Yes, come home.”

“If you come and fall asleep first, I might eat you? So don’t sleep and just wait.”

After saying that, Soo-jung Choi went into the shower room.

I can’t hear that comment as a joke, so my mind becomes clearer.

While I was sitting on the bed and waiting, Soo-jeong Choi appeared wearing a pajamas with a cute brown bear on it.

At a glance, it seems that she bought a size larger than her body type, but it was noticeable that only the chest area was tightly buttoned as if it was insufficient.

“How do you like my pajamas? Were you disappointed?”

“Yes? No. Look good and be cute.”

Choi Soo-jeong smiles shyly as if satisfied with my words.

At times like this, you still look fresh.

“Hey, thanks. It’s my first time trying to wear something more daring, but I thought it wasn’t something like that.”

At Soo-Jung Choi’s words, I imagined a lightly transparent nightgown of my taste, but then stopped quickly.

I’m not even wearing underwear right now, so if I make a mistake, a major accident could happen.

“… You made a wise choice.”

Because it was Choi Soo-jeong who never knew when she would change, it was obvious that reason would not be able to withstand it if she had visual stimulation.

“Then, shall we lie down, Wonwoo-nim?”

“I see.”

As I lay on the bed with [Cradle of Light] Facing the ceiling, I felt comfortable and cozy.

It felt like I was going to fall asleep after a while as my body was slightly relaxed and drowsy as if I had entered a sauna.

“How is Wonwoo?”

“The effect is better than expected… Sounds good.”

As she turned around to answer Soo-Jung Choi’s question, she stuttered her words as she swallowed her breath at the slightly exposed curvature of her body that could be seen through her nightgown.

If you are a man, you have no choice but to lose your gaze, and this is an unavoidable instinct.

“Really? But why aren’t you looking at my face, where are you looking?”

It’s ruined.

I guess my eyes stayed on for a long time without even realizing it.

“I am so sorry if you felt offended!”

I hurriedly apologized in an attempt to make amends even a little.

“Whoops, you seem to be very curious about this inside?”

Choi Soo-jeong seemed to be having fun, but in the midst of her struggles, she undid one of her buttons in front of her eyes.

The tempting deep trough that matches the size is clearly visible.

I think this is going to be really bad, so she turns her head away and shakes her hand, making her firm refusal.

“Ah! Hurry up and button it up again.”

“Whoops, I get it, I get it. Wasn’t the reaction too strong? Now I’ve filled it up again.”

I was relieved at those words and looked at Choi Soo-jung again.

I could see the face of Choi Su-jeong, who had just finished taking a shower and had no blemishes.

I just stare at her while blinking my eyes.

If I keep going like this, I will not be able to sleep and suffer all night, so I decided to quickly change the topic.

“Hey, Choi Sujeong Hunter.”

“Could you please call me Sujeong?”

“I will think about that slowly in the future. I am still uncomfortable with that.”

Because it is Choi Soo-jung who breaks the line rather than crossing the line, this is the psychological bottom line and cannot be conceded.

“Tch, I get it. So what do you want to say?”

“Let me ask you directly. Why did you have such feelings for me?”

“Is that so strange?”

Choi Soo-jeong has a serious face, unlike the playful girl she was earlier. She decided to pass on her candid thoughts as she wanted the opportunity to come.

“Of course. I simply don’t understand why he awakened while fighting the monsters and just because he saved them. It usually ends with a thank you.”

After hesitating at my firm attitude and seeming to think for a while, Sujeong Choi continued.

“It doesn’t mean that you simply fought monsters and saved them, but what if you sacrificed yourself on your behalf?”

“No way… ?”

The moment Sujeong Choi’s words fell, I could immediately figure out what they meant.

A girl with black hair. That she was the girl at the time who tried to protect her body without even seeing her face properly.

“How could I forget that. I can’t forget for the rest of my life. The one who defended her whole body when she gave up her life after seeing the giant scorpion’s tail fly off.”

“However, from the hair color to the appearance, they are completely different. Besides, awakening had that kind of heart….”

“I just wanted to hide it. A little greed for wanting to be recognized? It was like that. And as for her appearance, as she awakened, her hair color and eye color all changed. Even her body shape.”

It’s not common in Korea, but I’ve read in newspapers that it happens quite often when people wake up in other countries.

It’s just that it doesn’t happen often, so there’s no way to know if the girl is Soo-jung Choi.

“Now you understand why I had that feeling?”

“To think that the kid you saved then became an S-class hunter…. It’s an amazing and mysterious relationship, really.”

I had no regrets even when I saved her with the thought of being a civilian, but in the end, I think my sacrifice was all the more worthwhile because I saved the future S-class.

“I honestly thought that Wonwoo would come to me after the basic treatment was over.”

”Huh? Why?”

When I asked her doubts, Choi Soo-jung hesitated in front of me, and she said with a dark expression for the first time.

“Everything in Wonwoo’s life was ruined because of me. The dream of going up to S rank as a Hunter and succeeding.”

That was the case at the time. She made her own choice, but it was a hopeless situation, and she couldn’t walk with Han Yoo-ra, whom she had slept with.

So she may have been more obsessed and tried to send Han Yoo-ra to her S-class.

“I thought I would come and resent or get angry. My life is ruined because of you.”

“It was a choice I made, so why would I do that to someone else? I have to carry….”

“I know, Wonwoo-nim is that kind of person. Do you remember this?”

When Choi Soo-jung reached out her hand into the air, her white envelope appeared. As soon as I saw it, I knew what it was.

‘This Hunter Lee Won-woo sent’ written in handwriting on the letter envelope.

She was a letter I sent through the Hunter Association to Soo-jeong Choi, who I didn’t know at the time.

She could see Choi Soo-jung’s eyes getting slightly moist.

“It would have been more difficult for you…. Rather, he worried about me.”

“… It was far-fetched, I see now. At that time, you are already doing well as a Hunter.”

At that, Choi Soo-jung shook her head from side to side and spoke in a slightly subdued voice.

“I read it whenever I had a hard time. At the end of the letter, he wrote, ‘It’s a terrible memory, so I won’t be able to forget it easily, but if I overcome it, something good will surely happen.’

Feeling ashamed of Choi Soo-jung’s sincere praise, she wonders if this is right.

She thinks that maybe her gratitude just grew and she mistook it for love.

The number of times we met was three at most, including that time.

I looked at Choi Soo-jung without saying anything.

In his facial expression and gaze, he was openly revealing his compassion and affection for me.

It’s the first time I’ve received so much attention and love from someone, so I’m not sure about that feeling.

Still, she thought it would be a big disrespect if she didn’t treat Choi Soo-jung, who showed her sincerity, so she said honestly.

“Hey, isn’t it true that gratitude simply grows bigger than love?”

As if shocked by her words, Choi Sujeong gave her a cold expression for the first time.

And she shouted in strong denial.

“It’s too much…. That can’t be!”

As her face turns red, she shows unfiltered emotions that she is angry.

“Or do you hate me that much? Like the words that have spread in the world, do you think it’s unpretentious and arbitrary?”

“No. At least he didn’t go that far in front of me.”

Then Choi Sujeong suddenly reached out her own hand, took hers mine, and placed it on her own chest.

Although it is on her nightgown, the soft touch is sufficiently transmitted to her hand.

“Can’t you feel my heart beating so fast? Or is it because my looks and body aren’t Wonwoo’s style?”

‘No. It’s really my taste, so I really put up with difficult things.’

Until this point, I couldn’t bear to be honest.

She just tried to get her hand out somehow at the touch of her hand, but was rejected by Choi Soo-jung, who used her power.

”Don’t do this. Hunter Choi Sujeong.”

“Keep keeping your distance. You are saying my feelings are lies!”

“I am not such a good and great person as Choi Sujeong-nim said. That’s why.”

Choi Soo-jeong, who was about to say something in anger at those words, stopped it and let go of my hand.

He quickly removed his hand and looked at Choi Soo-jeong. His shoulders were shaking.

The moistened eye area was already overflowing and dripping down drop by drop.

“It’s okay if you need time to open up. Because I don’t know what kind of wound there is. But please don’t deny my heart.”

She has a delicate appearance that is difficult to see as Choi Soo-jeong.

Suddenly, I thought that I had cut Choi Soo-jung’s heart too carelessly.

“And Wonwoo-nim, don’t belittle yourself too low. Because in my eyes, he is a great enough and wonderful person.”

A feeling of resentment rose up in my heart at those words.

Have you ever heard someone comforting you like this, starting from daycare?

Even when dating, Hanyura was the type to take care of, so I had to overcome it on my own.

My heart trembled at the warm words.

“Huh?”

Choi Soo-jeong opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Unknowingly, I reached out to her and wiped the tears from her eyes.

Then she reached her hand through her hair and slowly stroked her smooth silver hair.

“… Sorry. Speaking carelessly.”

“Tch, that’s mean. Doing this Be kind though. Wonwoo.”

My eyes are still bloodshot, but Choi Soo-jung speaks with a smile as if her mood has improved.

I don’t know what love is yet, but at least I thought that I could trust Choi Soo-jung and open my heart.
