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

35 – She and I under the moonlight

Choi Soo-jeong carefully brushed Lee Won-woo’s hair, who was soundly asleep.

Rather than being handsome, his face has thick lines, as if reflecting Lee Won-woo’s stubbornness.

However, unlike before, she was sleeping comfortably, relying on herself more comfortably than anyone else, rather than showing a sensitive and suspicious expression due to her heartache.

‘You’ve definitely opened up a lot now….’

Choi Soo-jeong wanted this moment more than anyone else.

She could not have imagined even a few months ago that she would be able to see Lee Won-woo sleeping comfortably on her lap up close like this.

She was happy just being able to touch and look at her so close.

Moreover, today’s Wonwoo Lee was different from usual.

As if he had made up his mind on something, he took a step forward and actively approached.

Either taking a picture first or holding the empty hand without missing it.

As if trying to completely relieve the anxiety inside him, he approached without hesitation to narrow the distance in his heart.

Unlike before, the affection that was close to a one-way street was now responding to Lee Won-woo as well.

“You paid so much attention today to the point of looking like an idiot….”

Thanks to that, without words, it was a fun and happy time, and it is still going on.

However, ironically, Choi Soo-jung’s anxiety grew even bigger.

Anxiety that today might be the last day of this happiness.

I realized a ridiculous feeling of being anxious because I was happy that I could never understand before.

Because he treats you so kindly and affectionately, the confidence that he will come to you has, of course, grown.

But, in fact, there was also a concern that he would match it in return for his affection that he had had so far.

That’s because Lee Won-woo is a kind and nice person.

I think it’s a development that often happens in the name of a beautiful end before ending, which often appears in romance novels.

I believe it will never happen, but I inevitably become conscious.

He pretends to be good at dating, but in reality he has no dating experience, so he wasn’t sure.

The choice is Lee Won-woo’s, and no matter what choice he makes, he will be by his side.

But that doesn’t mean that being rejected is nothing.

He’s not cold-blooded enough to be okay when he’s been rejected by the person he loves.

“Um…”

At that time, Lee Won-woo tossed over and lay down on his side. Then, when his face, not his neck, touched, he rubbed his cheeks, as if the touch of his thighs were soft.

“Foot. You are cute.”

Seeing that she is acting like a baby because she likes her skin, the worries she just had just disappeared at some point, and a smile appeared on her own.

“Yes, what should I do after thinking about it….”

I don’t know the details, but I’m sure Lee Won-woo will give me an answer today.

If you’ve made up your mind, you’re not the type to be vague or use your emotions at all.

Whether to overcome the current relationship or to become worse off than now.

Anyway, Sujeong Choi’s answer is always ‘wait’.

Choi Soo-jeong stopped stroking his hair and muttered as she traced Lee Won-woo’s lips.

“Please, do I only have to give you sweet words from this mouth? Got it? Then, as I said earlier, ‘You did very well.’ I’ll stamp it with a tight seal.”

She is not an S-class hunter, but now she is just a tender woman who is afraid of being hurt. Her face, Choi Soo-jeong, has a little earnestness.

“Ummm….”

“Did you sleep well?”

When she opened her eyes, what she saw was Sujeongi’s face and the falling cherry blossom petals.

Then the memories of her before she fell asleep naturally came to mind.

As she slowly raised her body and looked at the sky, the blue sky was slowly turning into the color of the sunset.

She was embarrassed for a moment and asked Sujeong.

“How much do I sleep?”

“Uh, a little over an hour. He had a hard time sleeping.”

She was at a loss for words at Sujeongi’s reply as if nothing had happened.

Is there someone who falls asleep during a date and makes her partner wait?

Because she is Sujeong, I stayed by her side, but if she were someone else, she would have been abandoned.

“Wonwoo, are there any bad places?”

Sujeongi asked me with a slightly worried expression.

“No, it’s not that, I’m sorry. She asked me to go on a date, and then she fell asleep….”

Let’s be honest, Soo-jung replies that it’s no big deal.

“Ah, me again. I thought it was because I slept uncomfortably.”

Seeing Sujeongie relieved, her feeling of sorry grows.

As if he noticed that, Soojung said.

“What should I do with Wonwoo, it’s not necessarily a date? I just felt good just being with you, well.”

From my point of view, it’s a very grateful and pleasant story, but I can’t help but be concerned.

“I’m sorry though.”

“Aww. It’s really okay. If there’s nothing much to do other than that, I want to take more pictures of that! It’s closing time after a while.”

Anything else she had planned in the middle was already over, and she nodded her head at the thought of doing what Sujeong wanted.

And she just needs to go where she prepared last anyway.

“When the sun goes down, the picture doesn’t come out pretty, so wake up.”

“Huh? Okay.”

Is it an illusion that I feel a bit impatient, different from the usual Sujeongi?

He seemed to be thinking that if it wasn’t now, he couldn’t film it.

I wanted to take a picture and leave it like that, but I feel sorry again because I couldn’t leave it because I fell asleep.

‘I’ll have to put a lot of effort into taking a good picture.’

With that thought, she brushed off the cherry blossom leaves from her body and stood up. And she took out her phone.

Then Sujeong took the phone from my hand and pointed to her side.

“Come beside me now.”

“Huh? Wouldn’t it be better to come out with the background?”

“I don’t like it. I want to take a picture with Wonwoo.”

Resolutely refuses to fix this. Then she reached out her hand and dragged me along.

Then he lifted it at a 45 degree angle, raised his toes, and brought his face to me.

“Come on, hurry up.”

I can feel the touch of Sujeongi’s soft cheeks on my cheeks. Then he smiled and said.

“Oh, good. Wonwoo, smile. Smile. I’ll take a picture. One, two, three.”

Click.

In the photo, Sujeongi is smiling brightly and I am showing a slightly awkward smile.

Still, I liked the photos that filled the screen because they looked friendly.

“Okay. I’ll take the next one now.”

Starting with Sujeongi’s words, taking pictures started again.

As before, Sujeong was the one who passionately took the lead, but the difference is that I was the one who took the picture, but Sujeongi took the picture this time.

There were a lot of photos taken together or my personal photos rather than Sujeongi’s appearance.

After spending so much time, darkness came before I knew it, and a street lamp standing next to a huge cherry tree came on, illuminating the surroundings.

“It’s dark now, so I can’t see…” .”

Sujeongi speaks with a sad face. Even though I filmed a lot in that short amount of time, I think it was not enough.

“Let’s come to take another picture next time.”

“Everything… um?”

“Yes. You can come again.”

At that, Sujeongi was a bit silent, but then she smiled and said.

“hehehe, yes, that will work.”

I felt something strange about Sujeongi’s reaction. Unlike Sujeong, who was genuinely happy before falling asleep, the anxiety she showed from time to time seemed to have gotten worse.

[Notice from Cherry Blossoms World. We are planning to close in an hour, so please take note of that. I’ll say it again….]

I knew that the most important moment I had been waiting for had finally come from the story of the closing that came out of the speaker installed on the streetlight.

“Hey…. Fertilization There is a place I want to go to. Are you okay?”

At those words, Sujeongi’s face hardened for an instant, then she nodded slightly.

“Yes, I like it.”

After packing our bags, we took Sujeongi’s hand first and headed back in the direction we came from.

And after listening to Ji-soo noona, we moved to the place where we repeated confirmation after confirmation the most meticulously.

“Is this the place Wonwoo said… ?”

Sujeongi looked a bit surprised at the scene in front of her.

A bridge with pink cherry blossom pattern lighting. A rippling stream beneath it and cherry trees at both ends of the bridge were straddling the street lights, creating a mysterious sight.

She made the beauty together by revealing the moonlight to the full moon floating in the sky at the peak of the finish.

“Do you want to go up on the bridge with us?”

“Yes!”

She replied with an exhilarated expression on her face, even though Sujeongi was not the same as before.

Sujeongi and I standing on the bridge. As I was bathed in the moonlight, I was in awe of Sujeongi’s appearance with cherry blossoms spreading behind her.

The pure white skin stands out even more in the dark, creating a mysterious atmosphere that matches the beautiful background.

“Hey, Wonwoo? What’s on my face?”

“No. It’s a new story, but Sujeongie is really pretty.”

If it’s Sujeong’s usual life, when she brings up a story like this, she acts as if nothing’s wrong, but this time the reaction was different.

“Ah…. Why are you embarrassed?”

Sujeong blushes shyly. Is it because the place is pretty? I feel something different from Sujeongi’s appearance shining in the moonlight and lighting.

And then a moment of silence came. I felt intuition that now was the moment to make a confession that I had really prepared for.

I could feel my heart beating like it was about to jump out of my mouth, but I soon calmed myself down.

First, I stared at Sujeongi’s eyes.

“I have something to tell you.”

At those words, her expression stiffened again as before, and she lowered her face slightly before nodding her head.

“… Please speak.”

I don’t know if he noticed something and was nervous, or maybe he had a change of heart a while ago.

But right now, I just want to honestly convey my feelings.

“First of all, I want to say thank you. For showing up at a difficult moment, paving the way for me as a Hunter, and for continuing to approach me sincerely.”

“No. It’s nothing compared to what Wonwoo did for me.”

Sujeongi lightly denied it. Those words bring a smile to my face. I really liked this.

The Sujeongie I’ve seen so far had the image of making a lot of profit and loss calculations, but surprisingly, he was a person who gave endlessly to his people.

Should I say that it smells like a common person? He’s arrogant and picky, but he takes care of his people more than anyone else.

Because it’s proof that you’re not simply using people, but that you’re treating people with sincerity.

This was one of the reasons I liked Soojung.

“So what I was going to say today, I thought that we shouldn’t let our relationship be so ambiguous anymore. I think it only makes Soo-jeong difficult.”

“… I thought you would say that.”

Sujeongi, who said that she already knew, showed tension on her face.

I thought the expected reaction would be a confident face full of anticipation, but surprisingly, he still looks firm.

Looking at Sujeongi’s trembling red eyes, she spat out words with difficulty.

“So my answer is this.”

Quietly, she took out the reddish ring case from her pocket. The moment she was sujeong, she startled and looked at me with a surprised face.

“I’m not as strong as Sujeongi, nor do I have a lot of money, but I’m not overflowing with courage. But I will like and love you even more than the affection Sujeongi has shown me so far. I will protect you even if I risk my life, so will you stay by my side?”

I actually prepared something cooler, but when I tried to say it, I felt like I wasn’t sincere, so I said whatever I felt like me.

Then, she opened her ring case and took out a ring with a red jewel shining like Sujeong’s eyes.

Sujeongi lowered her head without answering.

At the moment, she is overcome with anxiety, wondering if the reason her face hardened was because she had changed her mind in the meantime.

She obviously looked happy, but I even think she may have been mistaken.

Then she said in a low voice.

“… To be honest, even though I believed in Wonwoo, I was very anxious. I wonder if today will be the last.”

A single tear was falling from Sujeongi’s eyes as she raised her head.

However, the corner of her mouth shows a bright smile as if cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

She then pulled me as if she couldn’t stand it.

Then, raising her tiptoe, without any hesitation, she overlaps her own lips with mine, closing her eyes.

A softer yet warmer touch than her marshmallows remained on her lips, and at that moment I too did not reject it and carefully hugged Sujeongi and accepted it.

At that time, I felt a weak magic somewhere, but it didn’t matter to me now.

Because I want to focus on this lovely woman right in front of me.
