Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 116

‘Mr. jin-hyeon, you have a surprisingly childlike side that wants to be the center of attention.

Is it because she’s so good with her hands? Kang jin-hyeon had a special place in his heart for Hee-na.

Of course, there were parts of his demeanor that were just plain wrong.

But Hee-na tried to make light of the situation.

‘I didn’t think he’d want to monopolize it this much, but……. I’ve never had the pleasure of eating and resting properly, so I have every right to feel that my existence is precious.’

But why did she feel a tickle in the back of her mind?

The fact that Hee-Na’s rusted-out love cells are creaking and preparing for action was a dirty little secret that not even she knows.

* * *

The day after Kang jin-hyeon returned to work, he started going to Hee-na’s office instead of his own.

As soon as she saw him sitting in the corner of the kitchen, she scribbled in her notebook, “Hey, I hate Kang jin-hyeon.

– Tell me something you don’t like about Kang jin-hyeon.

“Why?”

– Specifically, I want you to recommend a behavior that would make me want to punch him so hard he wouldn’t die.

“Are you a pervert?”

– Shh! Lower your voice, Mr. Kang, I can hear you!

So Hee-Na lowered her voice and asked.

“……are you a pervert?”

– I’d rather you think I was just making a bone headed effort to got the stabilizer for my mandala. Anyway, help me settle down.

Yu yun-Yi sounded like an insurance scammer.

He wanted to rip out the mandala’s stabilizer and beat up Kang jin-hyeon.

“Don’t ask me that.”

Hee-na furrowed her brow and turned her head quickly.

Then, in a moment of urgency, Yu yun-Yi lowered his voice and whispered.

“Hey, you’re the head of Kang jin-hyeon’s exclusive management team, don’t you know that?”

“I’m just not telling you!”

“Guarantee me the right to know!”

“If you’re so smart, why do you talk so much crap?”

At this point, Yu chuckled softly and looked at Hee-Na.

It was funny how she was too afraid of the taste of his hand to dare to challenge him.

“Profit……!”

Yu Yun-yi rolled his eyes in exasperation. Then he muttered, “I’ll get my revenge……..

But it looked like a cat grinding its teeth, and to Hee-Na, it was just a promise.

Hee-na and Yu-hyun continued to stare at each other for a while, much to the annoyance of Kang jin-hyeon, who was writing a mission report.

“Ms. Hee-na, are you okay?”

Kang jin-hyeon asked Hee-na in a slightly more sensitive tone.

He wasn’t worried about their friendship anymore, since Hee-na had assured him that Yu-han was nothing compared to him.

He believed Hee-Na’s words and didn’t doubt them.

The only problem was that he found Yu-hyun’s flirting with Hee-na to be very intrusive.

Kang jin-hyeon swallowed hard to hide his displeasure.

“That’s right. I wonder if there’s anyone in the Blue Dragon Guild who doesn’t like Hee Na?

He thought of the Hunters, who smiled broadly whenever Hee-na appeared and followed her around like ants on a mission.

The alchemist must be no different from them.

Woodduck.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the ballpoint pen in his hand snapped like a reed.

“……Ah, shit.”

Kang jin-hyeon looked down at his palm, which was stained with black ink.

It was a mistake he hadn’t made in a while, thanks to Hee-na’s care.

“Isn’t she still recovering?

Last night, I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep in Hee-na’s touch.

In the morning, I woke up to a hearty breakfast that Hee-na had prepared for me, and I was in the best shape of my life.

‘And yet, you broke a ballpoint pen because you couldn’t control your strength……. Why?

Kang jin-hyeon felt a little embarrassed, but it didn’t last long.

“Oh my God, Mr. Jin Hyeon, is your hand okay?”

Hee Na, who had noticed his blackened hand, rushed over with a wet towel.

“You broke your pen, but your hand doesn’t seem to be hurt……. Give me your palm. I’ll wipe it for you, it’s better if I do it.”

Hee-na said that she had cleaning skills and could easily remove such a stain.

She grabbed Kang jin-hyeon’s hand and rubbed his palm vigorously.

“Ah…….”

The traces of black ink quickly disappeared as the lukewarm wet towel touched it.

“See, it came off quickly, didn’t it?”

Hee-na smiled with pride as she removed her hand.

Kang jin-hyeon thought it was a shame to see her hand slip away. The feeling of being cared for by someone was as special as always.

It wasn’t the care he received because he was an S-class Hunter, but the small favors he received because he was human.

The favors always reminded him of many things he had forgotten.

The favors always reminded him of the many things he had forgotten: being an ordinary boy, going about his daily life in peace, without bloodshed and battles…….

It was a nostalgic memory.

While Kang jin-hyeon reminisced for a moment, Hee-na furiously wiped away the ink stains on the table.

Then she leaned down and studied Kang’s face.

“Do you think you’re still tired?”

Now Hee-na knew that Kang’s power control was directly related to his physical condition.

“Yesterday, I fed him a hearty dinner and let him sleep soundly with the cozy bed skill. Was there something missing?

After spending a few days with Yu, she became more scientific and checked every detail to see if her mindset had changed.

Hee-na was so deep in thought that she didn’t realize that Kang jin-hyeon was staring at her.

The dull nerves of a C-class housekeeper could only go so far.

“What’s wrong with their mood?

Only Yu yun-Yi questioned Kang Jin Hyeon’s dark gaze.

But his thoughts were short-lived.

The alchemist’s interest was more in potion research than in the intricacies of human relationships.

In other words, he lacked the perceptiveness to pick up on the odd vibes between men and women.

He grumbled and nudged Hee-Na.

“How long are you going to stand there wiping your desk? I’m going to turn to stone waiting for you!”

Hee-Na rolled her eyes in experation.

“Don’t exaggerate, it’s been less than five minutes, huh!”

“You’re right, Hee-Na. It hasn’t been long.”

Even Kang jin-hyeon came to Hee-na’s defense, and Yu Yun-yi raised an eyebrow.

“Ha, but…… I come first!”

Kang jin-hyeon’s momentum surged at the shrill assertion.

The speculation that sprang up rained down on Yu yun-Yi like rain.

“What do you mean, Mr. Yu yun-Yi comes first to Hee Na?”

There was no way that a non-combatant alchemist could receive the speculation of an S-class Hunter.

“Ugh……!”

Yu Yun-yi’s face turned grim.

He had long since forgotten that he had the nerve to say that he wanted to punch Kang Jin Hyeon.

“He said he had something to say to me first……!”

He stammered, but not without the last of his pride.

Hee-Na scratched her head.

“What’s with the look on his face? He’s scared to death.

Even if it had happened without a sound, Hee-na would have known.

She could tell something had happened from the timid tone of Yu-hyun’s voice and pale face.

“You’ve been so nice to Mr. Qin Hyun, and now all of a sudden, you’re like, what the hell, what did he do?

It was bad enough that he had momentum, but it was even worse to see him stomping around like a donkey that hadn’t been fed.

Hee-na sneaked between Kang jin-hyeon and Yu-hyun, blocking their view.

“I do have something to tell you about the spinach, but it’s also my job to keep an eye on Mr. Jinhyeon, which is more important than my research.”

Hee-na’s words stopped him in his tracks. Kang jin-hyeon looked at her, his eyes shining.

“Is that so?”

“Yes. My position was created to take care of Mr. jin-hyeon, as I told you yesterday.”

It was a gentle reply.

At the same time, the pressure that had been weighing down on Yu yun-Yi completely disappeared.

“……What, what, what, you’re so scary.

Yu yun-yi let out a low sigh and shivered violently.

He hadn’t left the lab since his awakening, and this was a new sensation for him.

“Isn’t he scary?

Yu yun-Yi looked at Hee-Na with admiration as she exchanged words with Kang jin-hyeon.

“I’ll have to stay close to her from now on when Kang jin-hyeon is around.

She’d seemed a little too casual about giving away valuable items at their last meeting, but she was no match for him.

Kang jin-hyeon had simply become a double personality in front of Hee-na.

His eyes sparkled like stars whenever he looked at Hee-na, but that meekness didn’t extend to Yu Yu.

‘Ugh…….’

Goosebumps rose on her forearms as she remembered Kang jin-hyeon’s dark eyes glowing with hostility.

“Thank you as always, Ms. Hee-Na. Now look what’s left to do. I’ve wasted your precious time.”

Meanwhile, Kang jin-hyeon, who had been chatting with Hee-na, spoke words of encouragement in a very satisfied tone. His voice sounded strangely warm.

Hee-Na glanced at yu Yun-Yi, whose color seemed to have improved a bit, and nodded.

“Yes, I should get back to work. By the way, Mr. jin-hyeon, let me know if you’re uncomfortable, and if you’re not feeling well, be sure to visit the healer. Also, think about what you’d like to eat for lunch, and I’ll do whatever I can.”

The corners of Kang Jin-hyeon’s blunt mouth twitched up slightly as he replied.

Peeking over Hee-na’s shoulder, Yu Yun-yi read a strange emotion in his smile.

I don’t know what it was, but it was a laugh that made me feel very nostalgic even though I was terrified of Kang jin-hyeon.

“……What is that expression?

Yu yun-Yi struggled to find the right words to describe it but finally found the right expression.

“Ah! Yes, the look of a concubine who has just given birth to a son!

Yes, a vicious concubine who gave birth to her only son and took over the holy guns!
