38 – Her Proposal for Growing Up

The day after we became lovers, we returned home feeling sad.

Sujeongi called early in the morning. I was able to respond quickly to the sound of the ringing phone, probably because I fell asleep after waiting for a long time for a phone call the day before.

[Wonwoo, did you sleep well?]

It’s a little bit, but Sujeongi’s clear voice was slightly locked. She, like me, seems like she doesn’t get much sleep.

“Yes. Did something pretty big happen yesterday?”

[Ah…. There is a place where we are in charge of security work, but there was a problem there, so I couldn’t sleep much because I was making a new deployment plan. Instead, I decided to take a break today and go to the guild in the afternoon, so it’s okay.]

“Ah, then let’s get some more sleep.”

When she said it with a worried heart, Sujeongie firmly refused and said.

[No. You know I would have waited a long time even if Wonwoo didn’t tell me, right? That’s why I can’t call you in the morning. I called you when you wake up.]

Hearing the words of his girlfriend, who is overflowing with her caring yet commendable voice, puts a pleasant smile on her face in the morning.

[And I couldn’t stand it because I already missed Wonwoo. So I called to hear your voice.]

The expression of affection that still hooks in there. I wish this woman could say something pretty in moderation. Just hearing her makes her heart thump and her something fills up and swells up.

“Me too…. It’s really nice to hear your voice. I was very sorry yesterday, so we broke up like that.”

[Wonwoo did that too? Me too!]

It feels like it would be nice to hold on to the phone all day, filled with sweet emotions just by talking on the phone.

Sujeong asked after whispering such a sweet conversation to each other.

[Wonwoo, do you remember Hunter Kang Hyeon-seok?]

“Head of the Hero Guild? Of course I remember. It’s hard to easily forget someone with such a clear character.”

He has a big size and a big-hearted personality. He is a person who seems to come out of a martial arts world.

[That’s right. Do you remember that you decided to learn skills in the past?]

“Of course. I should have given you a call anyway. I think I definitely saw the effect of basic training.”

At my word, Sujeong asked if I had realized something.

[Ah, the reason why Wonwoo’s magical power detection ability suddenly improved was because he learned something from him?]

“Well, actually, it’s not that great. He told me to always keep my senses that detect magic open and respond sensitively. But it worked better than I thought.”

[It seems that I have a similar style to Wonwoo. I see that it works.]

“That’s right. If you look at their personalities and things like that, they’re completely different, hahahaha.”

[Um….]

After hearing a voice that seemed to be thinking about something for a while, Sujeong became quiet. I wondered if he was tired and fell asleep during that time, so I called Sujeong.

“Sujeong-ah?”

[Yes, Wonwoo. I’m listening.]

“Oh, I thought I fell asleep again.”

[It can’t be. More than that, Wonwoo has something to tell you.]

Sujeongi’s voice is getting serious. Usually, there are a lot of things going on at times like this, so tension naturally arose.

“Yes, tell me.”

[I asked Hunter Kang Hyeon-seok to see the general training as well as skill transfer.]

Fortunately, it wasn’t that a huge incident happened or anything like that.

Rather, from my point of view, it was good news that I had the opportunity to learn directly from a S-class hunter, even though it was a very small learning, it had a great effect.

But a small question popped up in my head and I asked Sujeong.

“I heard that you are self-sufficient and busy with internal affairs of the guild.”

[Yes, so we negotiated. We decided to go and learn….]

“And?”

When I asked, thinking there might be more behind the scenes, Sujeongi sighed lightly and said.

[Whew, I decided to sparr again. At least it was negotiated and only 3 editions. It’s annoying, but I couldn’t help it.]

“Is it okay to do that? It’s just because of me…. Aren’t you forcing yourself to do something you don’t like?”

[Not at all! I can do this much for Wonwoo. Just as Wonwoo showed how much he thinks of me through the ring, I want to show my heart that is second to him!]

When I asked if I was sorry, Sujeongi strongly denied it.

‘Anyway, I already knew everything about the ring.’

I was so distracted yesterday that I couldn’t explain the ring, but I already knew everything. Sujeongi’s intelligence is not surprising now.

Rather than that, I felt grateful for the thought that he quickly figured out the meaning of the ring and did something he hated for me.

“It seems like Sujeong keeps getting help.”

[At times like this, you should use your girlfriend’s shield! She has a reassurance that is not found anywhere else in the world.]

“Put, yes. Thank you, girlfriend.”

[Ahem. I will allow her to brag about here and there.]

Sujeong jokingly tells me not to be burdened. If she imagined that figure and was next to her, she would like to hug her tightly.

[Ah, the departure is scheduled for tomorrow morning. So, prepare in advance today.]

“Yes, I will.”

[Hmm, I want to talk to Wonwoo more…. Now it’s time to go to Wonwoo-nim’s guild to train, so I’ll let you go.]

Sorry drips from Sujeongi’s voice, which expresses sadness with an exaggerated crying sound.

“I don’t really want to go either. I just want to talk to Sujeong all day long.”

[Ugh…. Don’t tempt! Because I really can’t stand it. You can’t become a cowherd and a weaver girl.]

Soojeong groaned and expressed her intention to reject it with difficulty as my heart burst out again after a long time.

I really liked Sujeongi’s appearance like this. She usually tries to cross her line at random, but she never slacked off or neglected a task.

It seems that he is far from hard work because he is full of talent, but at least he is diligent and sincere in his work.

If you look at the guild management part, you can see that it always stays late.

“Okay. Then I’ll get ready and go out.”

[Yes, take care and have a good trip. And now it’s completely mine. Do you know if I glanced at another woman?]

At those words, I suddenly felt like joking around, so I asked as if I didn’t know anything.

“Isn’t it okay to take a quick look?”

[Of course. Where do you dare to be? If you get caught, you’ll get scolded. And now all 19 gold videos are banned.]

“What… What are you talking about. I don’t see anything like that.”

As the conversation suddenly changed direction and broke the line again, I hurriedly looked around at the incoming content, and Sujeongi’s laughter came out of her cell phone.

[Whoops, is that so? What was the thing I secretly looked for on the computer when I went to Wonwoo’s play? I feel like my body shape and appearance are a bit similar to mine….]

“… “

I couldn’t say anything at that moment. She had just felt and realized exactly what it meant to be ashamed.

I never thought I would find it.

[Wonwoo? Are you alive? Yea, it’s okay He’s a strong man!]

Sorry, Sujeong comforted me belatedly. But the more he comforts him, the more sad he becomes, is it because of his mood?

I carefully asked Sujeong.

“Why did you look for that?”

[Ah, are you still alive? Whoops. I’m just curious what kind of taste you like. I see a maid or an office worker….]

“That… stop! I was wrong to be kidding.”

If I said more than that, I didn’t have the confidence to look at Sujeongi’s face, so I quickly cut off my words.

[Wonwoo, I’m not that kind of a woman.]

“Okay. Just as Sujeong said, I will be careful, so stop.”

If I really added more, I would have gone to the point where I couldn’t recover.

“Now if I procrastinate any longer, I will be really late, so I will go.”

[Ah, yes. And I probably won’t be able to see Wonwoo even if I go to the guild in the afternoon.]

I comforted Sujeong with an apologetic voice saying that it was okay.

“Yeah, it’s okay. Are you the guild leader? I know you’re busy, so you don’t have to worry about it. Rest a little longer and go slowly.”

[Yes, I understand. But be sure to call me in the evening! And I love you, Wonwoo. Side.]

I don’t think the corner of my mouth will go down in the active expression of affection that continues until I cut it off.

“Ouch! Me too. I’m really going to quit now.”

I felt like my regrets kept growing, so I finished it first.

After that, she came to her senses and looked at her watch. Slightly later than usual. First of all, I hurriedly moved to wash up.

“It’s huge.”

“I see.”

Sujeongi and I each packed our own bags and expressed our feelings while looking at the huge tile-roofed house in front of us.

Starting with the stone walls surrounding it, it exudes the charm of a Korean-style house, so I looked at it in awe.

I usually thought that I could see a house like this at a folk village, but I didn’t know Kang Hyeon-seok would live in a place like this.

“The man said that it was his dream to build and live in a house like this. So I heard he purposely built it in a little remote place.”

“Really? So Sujeongi, is this your first time coming?”

“Of course. There’s no reason to visit that uncle’s house. Even if you try to fight, there will be a training ground inside the guild, so there is no reason to come.”

“That’s right.”

I heard that the current guild building is locked except for the minimum number of people. That’s why Kang Hyun-seok called him to the place where he lived.

It seems that the intention is to avoid it because it is known for nothing, and if reporters flock to it, there may be a noisy incident.

“This looks like the entrance.”

At the place Sujeongi pointed to, she saw a wooden door familiar from historical dramas. At least once, it was a door that made me want to shout, ‘Come here.’

But I don’t think I need to do such nonsense because I see a doorbell installed in plain view next to the door.

When Sujeongi, who was next to her, reached out and pressed the doorbell, a sound that often comes from the subway came out.

After a while, someone came out and opened the door.

At the door, we were greeted by a beautiful woman in her thirties with bobbed hair that barely touched her shoulders.

Exuding her elegant atmosphere, she greeted Choi Soo-jeong by expressing her delight.

“Ah, it’s been a while, Hunter Choi Sujeong.”

“How have you been, Deputy Guild Manager Kim Min-jung?”

I knew at once from Sujeongi’s greeting.

It was Hunter Kim Min-jung, who is in charge of Beauty among the Beauty and the Beast that was often mentioned in articles about the Hero Guild.

In other words, it is the story of Kang Hyeon-seok’s wife.

“Oh, I guess this is the man her husband was talking about.”

Kim Min-jung’s gaze returned to me before I knew it and spoke in a polite tone. She immediately bowed her head and thanked her.

“I heard that our disciple received great grace. Thank you.”

“Ah… No, you don’t have to. Just got lucky. Please raise her head.”

She was embarrassed at the end because she helped a little, there’s no reason she should be thanked this much.

“Still, I almost lost her life with the magic sword. How could you?”

“No, that’s fine. Please keep your head up.”

I felt more uncomfortable with his respectful attitude. I felt like I was being treated excessively.

“Deputy guild leader Kim Min-jeong. Our Wonwoo-nim is rather uncomfortable with things like this, so I think it would be enough for him to do that.”

Kim Min-jung raises her head only after Soo-jeong, who was next to her, helps. She said and she said

“Then you say you are uncomfortable, so I will stop here. I will guide you to the guild leader first.”

Following Kim Min-jung’s guidance, we passed through a spacious yard and arrived at a place built next to it.

[Guts Hall]

Looking at the wooden signboard hanging in the middle of the house, I smiled slightly.

‘The name was really like that person.’

While I was thinking that in my heart, I heard a familiar voice inside.

“Not enough! It means to be more aggressive!”

It was clearly Kang Hyeon-seok’s voice. I heard the sound of wooden swords clashing as if I was sparring with someone.

“Could you wait here for a minute?”

Kim Min-jung looks at us and speaks. He was still smiling, but something felt stiff.

“Yes, I understand.”

In response to Sujeongi’s answer, Kim Min-jung took off her shoes, and after she climbed onto the veranda, she opened the door and entered.

“No, you! I told you to tidy up and get ready to welcome guests, didn’t you?”

Suddenly, a sharp high-pitched voice resounded from inside. The dull crashing sound that had been heard at those words disappeared in an instant.

As if Sujeongi had already expected it, she shook her head at the sound.

She then looked at me and said.

“This is the original atmosphere, so Wonwoo-nim should get used to it too. Hunter Kim Min-jung is a kind person to everyone, but she doesn’t seem to include the old man or the minuscule guy.”

If I were to subtract, I would probably be referring to my disciple Lee Ji-hoon.

When I see someone who exudes an elegant atmosphere suddenly change like that, the first thing that comes to my mind is how much both of them didn’t listen to me.

“You can come in now.”

In the meantime, Kim Min-jung opens the door and speaks as if the tidying up is over.

She nodded her head at that, then took off her shoes and stepped indoors.
