Chapter 452: Our Hyunsung (4)

“No. I think I’ll feel better if I take you back to your dorm now.”

‘Shit.’

Upon hearing this, my gaze naturally fell onto him. Of course, there were no other emotions visible on his handsome face.

I had begun to get worried about him having strange thoughts, but I didn’t have to worry.

He must be thinking about whether I’d be caught up in anything that might happen on my way back. It was unreasonable to think the herbivorous man that had been certified by the unicorn would think about anything else.

I also thought about whether it was okay to accept his goodwill, but it seemed too beautiful to finish our meeting like that.

‘No. This bastard is also a man.’

It wouldn’t be weird if anything had happened.

It was something I just realized, but the atmosphere had become quite strange compared to before.

A man and a woman met by chance, showcased unusual behavior, got drunk, and even felt strange bonds with each other.

If it were a normal relationship between a man and a woman, it wouldn’t be strange for them to rush to the Crack Motel right away. Of course, we had no intentions of doing just that.

‘How long do I have left?’

What was more problematic was that the magic effect placed by the fairy was about to end.

Although there were differences depending on the magician and the target, the fairy’s prank duration was only limited to three days.

Considering that this was already the third day, I had to be careful not to get found out.

The moment I was caught, the seeds of doubt in Kim Hyunsung would grow rapidly.

‘The effect should last a little longer.’

Light Kiyoung had weak magic resistance. However, since I couldn’t guarantee anything, I shouldn’t waste any more time.

“It’s really okay.”

I had to keep my mind upright, but I sounded tipsier than I had initially imagined.

No matter how I listened to it, it still sounded like the voice of a woman who was completely smashed. Kim Hyunsung looked worried again.

As I glanced to the side, I could see a lot of empty bottles. I didn’t know when I drank all of that.

Honestly speaking, however, I knew it was not strange for me to easily get so drunk. I had just come back from an expedition, after all.

I didn’t put much effort into it, but my whole body was feeling tired because I had moved my body too much for nearly three days. In such a situation, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for me to feel like I would fall the moment I stood up since I had drunk more than usual.

His face was already overwhelmed with worry. It was as if he knew how bad my condition was even though he was slow.

As I faced an unexpected crisis, I pushed my bag further into the robe and looked at him once more.

“I think it’s better to get going. Where’s your dorm…?”

“I’m not staying in any dorm. I just ran into Hyunsung before looking for one… There are probably many rooms at the Crack Inn, so it’s better to go there.”

“If you haven’t got one yet…”

“Yes?”

“Why don’t you come to the Blue Guild branch? I don’t know if you’ll like it, but it’s probably more comfortable than a room at the Crack Inn.”

‘Don’t be so absurdly kind, you bastard.’

“No. That’s a bit… I’ve already bothered you in many ways, so I can’t do that anymore. I also got a good meal like this, please don’t make me feel too embarrassed, Hyunsung.”

“No.”

“This is a little too much.”

“It’s okay.”

“I’m really okay, too.”

‘Why is this bastard so firm?’

The anxiety that had once disappeared began to rise again. I wanted to run away immediately, but I found that I couldn’t.

No, in the first place…

‘Even if I say no… Will he stay still?’

Probably, even if it meant following me, he’d try to make sure I got in the Crack Inn.

He was simply that kind of person.

It would be better to ask him to take me there quickly. It was risky, but it felt like it was the most plausible of all the options I had.

I stood up without saying anything, and yet I almost collapsed in an instant. My head was spinning, but I managed to keep the balance by holding onto the table.

I managed to react on time because I saw him flinching momentarily.

“I think you’ve had too much. Really.”

“If… that’s the case, please, just take me somewhere close to the Inn.”

‘Don’t laugh, Hyunsung. I will get too attached.’

“Okay.”

It was already dark when I walked slowly out of the restaurant. Stars embroidering the sky were enough to make people exclaim in delight.

I was a little flustered due to the situation, which had now created a romantic atmosphere, but I slowly kept walking.

“It looks like there are a lot of stars today.”

“There really are. Sigh…”

“Are you okay?”

“Except for being a little dizzy, there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m so sorry. It seems like I’ll be bothering you until the end.”

“You really don’t have to worry about it. You can think of it as a return for relieving my frustrated feelings…”

“What did I do? I just said things that anyone could say. Even if you asked the people around you, everyone would have said the same thing. It wasn’t a great help, but it’s a little embarrassing to tout it like that.”

“…”

I kept a slightly coy look on my face. Thanks to the lights on the street, his face seemed red.

‘It’s too hard to walk… I went way over the top. Fuck… Kiyeon, why did you do that? Why did you have fun losing your mind?’

Of course, this was a mistake I wouldn’t usually make.

I had drunk without thinking due to the feeling of having fun with my little brother after a long time.

Since it was hard to even walk, it was right to accept Kim Hyunsung’s suggestion.

I was walking as quickly as possible, but the scenery didn’t change. I could even feel myself staggering.

No matter how good Crack Land’s security was, it wasn’t appropriate for a woman to go around alone at night like that. This was still a place full of monsters that could cut the throat of an adventurer with a single swing.

That case became even more evident when I thought about the fact that many people were met with trouble while walking alone.

I could understand Kim Hyunsung’s perspective on this.

While walking and talking slowly, worries appeared on Kim Hyunsung’s face. However, he couldn’t figure out how to act.

It was clear that he wasn’t able to decide whether to lend his shoulder or carry me. He must be wondering if it would make me uncomfortable if he touched me.

‘He’s too naive.’

I understood that he kept his distance to be careful of unintended physical contact, but that was just being an idiot.

If I were a real woman, I would have been annoyed by his kindness.

‘Hold hands confidently! Put your hand around her shoulder! Sneakily! You have to do it, man!’

Of course, I wasn’t hoping for that.

Rather, I thought it was fortunate that he didn’t make unnecessary physical contact, but I still couldn’t help but think that his behavior was pathetic.

He was keeping a proper distance, but his steps were in line with mine. Although he seemed to be prepared if ever I fell, it also made him look like he had no dating experience, but rather just had great manners.

With the situation like that, our pace was becoming even slower.

It would take a while, even though we’re heading towards the Crack Inn.

That was when my body sent an abnormal signal.

‘Why is it so hot?’

I couldn’t figure out why, but it felt like my body suddenly became hot.

My breathing became rougher, and my weary body was becoming even more fatigued. No wonder I was getting flustered by the sudden abnormal phenomenon.

Although I didn’t show it, I started having cold sweat.

‘Magic.’

The magic cast on me might be slowly dissipating. No, it felt like it was going to disappear in a little while. I was certain of it.

Little by little, I could feel the magic power in my body burning. It wasn’t the magic power I had.

It was the magic power from an external source. The moment I lowered my guard, it began to spill out.

‘Shit.’

My breathing became even rougher without knowing it.

Although I had been walking with confidence, nothing had changed.

The Crack Inn was still far away, and Kim Hyunsung was looking after me like an escort.

He glanced towards me when the harsh breathing came out without my knowledge, but his kindness wasn’t welcomed at all.

“Sigh…”

“Are you okay?”

I couldn’t afford to answer. I had to focus my mind on holding onto the magic power that was about to leave my body.

If the magic were to be released here, everything would really be over for me.

I wasn’t sure if Kim Hyunsung knew what I was thinking or not, but he refused to yield.

‘Go away quickly, Hyunsung.’

“I think this is enough. From here on… ugh. I can go alone.”

“What? But…”

“We already passed through the dark alley and… it’s a big road now…”

I sounded like I wanted to pee. Even when I listened to myself, it didn’t sound good.

“There isn’t much left to go, so I want to take you all the way there. It’s dangerous during nights like this. Even if it’s a big road….”

“It’s really okay…”

‘Wrong. This bastard doesn’t want to listen.’

He certainly could be single-minded sometimes. I swallowed hard due to his stubbornness.

As I kept holding on to the magic power that was about to flow out like a fountain, I was quickly becoming more and more exhausted.

I was talking, walking, maintaining magic, and feeling dizzy, all at the same time. To top it all off, more tasks were being added slowly.

If I lost focus, I was certain everything would flow down like a dyke with a hole.

‘Kim Hyunsung… you fucking…’

It was then that a bad idea came up.

Although it might be a pretty big swing, that was the most obvious way to immediately get rid of him.

It would definitely work. Considering Kim Hyunsung’s personality, I was certain of it.

I had dozens of thoughts.

However, before I could even organize my thoughts, words popped out of my lips.

I began to tell a story that would drive out our innocent Hyunsung.

“I can really go alone, Hyunsung. Really. I understand what you are worried about, but I’m starting to feel uncomfortable.”

“But…”

“If I told you this much… I seem to have clearly expressed my intentions… please go back.”

“I will go with you a little more.”

“No, it’s really okay.”

I slightly showed that I was getting annoyed, but as expected, he was slow to notice. I scuffled with him, but he didn’t give much of a thought about it.

As I slightly stumbled as if to fall, I could see him grabbing my shoulder like a gesture of a butterfly rushing toward the spider’s web.

The eyes of the innocent returner were looking at me with relief.

However, it didn’t take long for those eyes to turn into embarrassment.

Why?

He would have seen a very uncomfortable Bitch Kiyeon’s face with his own eyes.

“I’m sorr…”

Before he could apologize, I cut him and opened my mouth immediately.

“I’m… not that kind of woman, Blue Guild Master.”

‘I’m sorry, Hyunsung…’

“What?”

‘I’m really sorry…’

“As I said, I’m not that kind of woman. Haven’t you been too explicit compared to when we were having dinner?”

The remorse in my conscience began to awaken after a long time of unresponsiveness. Kim Hyunsung looked at me as if he didn’t know what in the world was going on.

It felt like my heart was being torn.

‘I’m sorry…’
