The Homemaker of the Dungeon
Chapter 116

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 116

‘Mr. Jinhyeon, surprisingly, you have a childish side that wants to get attention on your own.’

Is it because it tastes so good? Kang Jin-hyeon had a special regard for Hee-na.

Of course, there were some parts of his attitude that were ambiguous to look at simply that way.

However, Heena tried to ignore the situation.

‘I didn’t know that he would want to have it all to himself like this… but I haven’t had the pleasure of eating and resting properly in the meantime. ‘It makes me feel like my existence is precious.’

…But why does a corner of my heart feel itchy?

The fact that Heena’s rusty love cells were creaking and preparing for action was a secret that even Heena, the person in charge, did not yet know.

* * *

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

The sentence Yuhan scribbled in his notebook as soon as he saw him sitting in a corner of the kitchen was as follows.

– hey. Jinhyeon Kang, tell me something you don’t like.

“Why is that?”

– If I were to make a specific request, I would like Jinhyun Kang to recommend actions that would make me want to hit him gently enough not to kill me.

“Are you a pervert?”

– Shh! Speak softly! Kang Jin-hyeon, listen!

So Heena lowered her voice and asked.

“…Are you a pervert?”

– Wouldn’t you rather think of it as making a painstaking effort to obtain the stabilizing power of the mandala? Anyway, please help me reach a reasonable agreement.

Yuhan sounded like an insurance fraudster.

He wanted to rip off the mandala’s stabilizer and get beaten by Kang Jin-hyeon.

“Don’t ask me that.”

Heena frowned and turned her head.

Then, perhaps in a hurry, Yuhan lowered his voice and whispered.

“hey! “You said you were the head of Kang Jin-hyeon’s exclusive management team, but you don’t know anything about that?”

“I’m just not telling you!”

“Guarantee the right to know!”

“Why does a kid who is so smart say so much nonsense?”

When she pointed it out, Yuhan wheezed slightly and looked at Heena.

It was funny that I couldn’t attack it because I was afraid of the taste of the hand I had experienced once.

“profit…!”

Yuhan rolled his eyes in exasperation. At the same time, he solemnly muttered, ‘I will take revenge…’

However, it only looked like a dispirited cat lashing out, and to Heena, it felt like a promise without any promise.

Heena and Yuhan continued to bicker for a while, which offended Jinhyeon Kang, who was writing the mission report.

“Heena, are you okay?”

Kang Jin-hyeon asked about Hee-na’s well-being in a slightly more sensitive tone.

Heena had assured her that Yuhan was nothing compared to her, so she no longer had to worry about their friendship.

This is because he firmly believed Heena’s words and had no doubts about them.

The only problem is that it is very annoying that Yuhan is being mean to Heena.

Kang Jin-hyeon tried to swallow the look of apprehension.

‘okay. Among the Blue Dragon Guild members, is there anyone who doesn’t like Heena?’

Whenever Heena appeared, the sight of hunters smiling brightly and following around like ants in charge of the team passed by.

That alchemist was definitely no different from them.

Crack.

As soon as that thought occurred to me, the pen I was holding broke like a reed.

“…Oh my.”

Kang Jin-hyeon looked down at his palms stained with black ink.

It was a mistake I hadn’t made in a while, thanks to my condition improving under Heena’s care.

‘Hasn’t the travel fatigue gone yet?’

Last night, in the bed touched by Heena, I fell into a deep sleep without even a dream.

In the morning, I ate breakfast carefully prepared by Heena, and thanks to that, I was in top condition.

‘And yet you broke the ballpoint pen because you couldn’t control your strength… why?’

Kang Jin-hyeon felt somewhat embarrassed. But the embarrassment did not last long.

“oh! Mr. Jinhyeon! “Are your hands okay?”

This is because Hee-na, who discovered Kang Jin-hyeon’s hand stained black, rushed over with a wet towel.

“The pen is broken. My hand doesn’t seem to be hurt… Put your palm out here. I’ll clean it for you. “It would be better if I cleaned it.”

Heena quipped that she had cleaning skills, so she could quickly remove a stain like this.

At the same time, he held Jinhyeon Kang’s hand and rubbed his palms together.

“Ah…”

As soon as the wet towel heated to lukewarm temperature touched it, the traces of black ink quickly disappeared.

“Look at this. “It was erased quickly, right?”

Heena took her hand away and smiled proudly.

Kang Jin-hyeon thought it was a shame that Hee-na’s hand was moving away. The feeling of being cared for by someone was special, as always.

This attention was not an official he received because he was an S-class hunter, but rather a minor favor he received because he was a human named Kang Jin-hyeon.

That favor always reminded Kang Jin-hyeon of many things he had forgotten.

The daily lives of when I was an ordinary boy, leading a peaceful life without bloody battles…

It was a nostalgic memory.

While Kang Jin-hyeon was lost in memories for a moment, Hee-na carefully wiped away the ink stains that had splattered on the table.

Then he lowered his head and looked closely at Kang Jin-hyeon’s face.

“I guess you’re not tired yet?”

Now Heena knew that Kang Jin-hyeon’s strength control was directly related to his condition.

‘Yesterday, I had a hearty dinner and had a good night’s sleep thanks to my comfortable bed skills. Was something missing?’

After spending a few days with Yuhan, I was able to check in detail what was different from before to see if my scientific way of thinking had changed.

Heena was so deep in thought that she didn’t even realize that Jinhyeon Kang was looking at her intently.

The dull nerves of a C-class housekeeper reached their limit.

‘Why are they in such a mood?’

Only Yuhan found Jinhyeon Kang’s deep gaze suspicious.

But it was only for a moment that I continued to think like that.

Alchemist Yuhani’s interests were closer to potion research than to mysterious human relationships.

In other words, they lacked the sense to capture the strange atmosphere between men and women.

He grunted and begged Heena.

“How long are you going to be there wiping the desk? “If you wait, you’ll turn into a stone!”

Heena rolled her eyes at Seonghwa.

“To exaggerate. Not even 5 minutes have passed! joy!”

“Heena is right. “Not much time has passed.”

When Kang Jin-hyeon took Hee-na’s side, Yu-han raised an eyebrow.

“B-But… I come first!”

Kang Jin-hyeon’s spirit rose sharply due to his bold assertiveness.

The rising speculation poured down like rain towards Yuhan.

“What does it mean that Yuhani takes priority over Heena?”

There was no way that a non-combat alchemist would be able to take on the spirit of an S-class hunter.

“Ugh…!”

Yuhan’s face turned blue.

It’s been a long time since I completely forgot about the time I showed off my guts and said I wanted to hit Kang Jin-hyeon once.

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

However, as if he couldn’t let go of his last bit of pride, he continued to talk back and forth.

Heena tilted her head.

‘Why is his expression like that? ‘I’m going to die.’

Even if it happened without a rumor, Heena was also aware of it.

I could guess something had happened from Yuhan’s timid voice and pale face.

‘You were just speaking informally to Mr. Jinhyeon, but then you suddenly treated him with such respect? ‘What did Jinhyeon do?’

There was something unpleasant about his energetic appearance, but it was even more difficult to see him trembling like a worn-out donkey.

Heena sneakily stepped in between Kang Jin-hyeon and Yuhan, blocking their view.

“I have something to tell you about spinach. But it’s also my job to look after Jinhyeon. “In fact, that is much more important than research.”

Heena’s response suddenly calmed my fierceness. Kang Jin-hyeon looked at Hee-na with shining eyes.

“Is that so?”

“sure. My position itself was created to take care of Jinhyeon. “I told you this yesterday too.”

It was a kind reply.

At the same time, the pressure that had been squeezing Yuhan completely disappeared.

‘…what what! ‘That’s so scary.’

Yuhan let out a low sigh and trembled.

For someone who had not left the lab since his awakening, it was his first experience of goodness.

‘Isn’t he scary?’

Yuhan looked at Hee-na, who was talking to Jin-hyeon Kang, with admiration.

‘When Kang Jin-hyeon is around, I will stick close to Lee Hee-na from now on.’

During our last meeting, I thought it was a bit easy to give away a valuable item, but he was not the type of person to do that at all.

Kang Jin-hyeon was just being quiet in front of Hee-na to the point of having a double personality.

Whenever he looked at Hee-na, Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes twinkled like stars. However, those gentle eyes did not apply to Yuhan.

‘Ugh…’

Goosebumps appeared on my forearms when I thought of Kang Jin-hyeon’s black eyes shining with hostility.

“Thank you as always, Heena. Now look at what’s left. “I wasted Heena’s precious time.”

Meanwhile, Kang Jin-hyeon, who was talking with Hee-na, looked very satisfied and gave words of encouragement. It was a voice that sounded strangely warm.

Heena glanced at Yuhan, whose complexion seemed to have improved a little, and nodded.

“yes yes! I have to go to work now. By the way, Jinhyeon, if you have any discomfort, please tell us. If you are not feeling well, be sure to visit a healer. Think about what you want to eat for lunch. “I’ll do whatever menu is available.”

As he answered in a friendly manner, the corners of Kang Jin-hyeon’s blunt mouth slightly rose.

Yuhan, who was peeking over Heena’s shoulder, read a strange emotion in his smile.

I don’t know what it was, but even while I was scared of Kang Jin-hyeon, it was a smile that made me feel very fond of him.

‘…What kind of expression is that?’

Yuhan thought about how to explain that expression and finally found an appropriate expression.

‘ah! okay! An expression like a concubine who gave birth to a son!’

It was like that. Could this be the case with a vicious concubine who gave birth to an only son and monopolized all the blessings?
