Chapter 203

Chapter 203

Though the modern-looking building he followed her into had a simple, square design, the interior was mind-blowing.

Huge art pieces that could have come from a museum hung near the entrance, while the white spiral staircase and diamond chandelier were overwhelming to look at. Despite all of the luxurious items before him, there was one thing, in particular, that caught YuSungs interest.

"Could you tell me something, EunAh?"

"What is it?"

He looked at the indoor swimming pool, which was much too large for a single family to ever make full use of.

"Why are there two swimming pools? He asked. Wasn't there one outside, too?" He remembered seeing an outdoor swimming pool during their walk through the residences private golf course.

One swimming pool was already a luxury, so what was the point of having two?

"Hmm. Shouldnt you have one for winter and one for summer? She asked as if it were obvious. Also, an outdoor pool couldnt be used in bad weather conditions, right?

Maybe it was already too late for him to point that out as weird. Hed seen all sorts of other unbelievable things during their trip as well, such as a pond that was the size of a lake, the private golf course, a botanical garden, and more.

He gave up on trying to apply common sense to what he was seeing.

"I dont often come down to the 1st floor because the spas on the 4th floor are better, EunAh said.

YuSung nodded as if none of it surprised him anymore, while EunAh suddenly stopped as if shed thought of something.

"D-do you want to go with me?" She asked.

"Are you talking about spas on the 4th floor?"

"We can just put our feet in if you dont have swimming trunks," she excitedly said.

Someone's head turned the corner at the end of the staircase theyd been walking up.

"EunAh, that's not possible," JunHyuk said. He seemed happy to see his little sister, and he descended the stairs with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Were having a family gathering today, he said. Grandfather would be disappointed if you just played around with your boyfriend~"

"My boyfriend?! EunAh shouted. What are you talking about?!"

JunHyuk was having fun teasing her. "Huh? You didn't know? Were all gathered here to formally meet the future member of the family.

EunAh rushed up the stairs. "Are you out of your mind?! Should I send you back to the hospital?!"

It was just the way one would expect a pair of siblings to behave. YuSung smiled as he watched EunAh blush and chase after JunHyuk.

Her happiness was only possible because hed saved her brother. If hed been weaker than Cheat, the Rebellion member, or never followed them to the hospital, then he wouldve never seen that side of EunAh.

'I'm glad'

When EunAh turned and saw the smile on his face, she misunderstood. "Hey! Wh- why are you smiling?! My brothers just kidding!" Since she wasnt able to catch JunHyuk, she turned her frustration on the innocent YuSung.

Despite how flustered the girl clearly was, YuSung calmly said, "Hm? I just like seeing this."

His words could be easily misunderstood, and EunAhs mind blanked as she subconsciously said, Wh What?

Of course, YuSung meant to say that he liked going to her house and seeing how happy she was with her brother, but her face turned completely red as she seemed to be thinking about something else.

She turned her head away and said, "Wh-what are you saying?"

BZZT- BZZT-

JunHyuk smiled when he saw the electricity flowing from her body. "Ah, it's electricity. EunAh, it seems that youre more than a little flustered~" He laughed out loud and extended his hand to YuSung in greeting. "Nice to meet you, Shin YuSung."

EunAh didnt have the energy left to argue. Instead, she just glanced at YuSung and stopped them from exchanging a handshake.

After his greeting, JunHyuk looked between the two of them. I never thought my savior would also end up becoming my brother-in-law. How wonderful.

"YuSung is probably tired after all of the time we spent traveling, she said. So let's leave the greetings for later." Then, she pulled on YuSungs sleeve and dragged him the rest of the way up the stairs.

JunHyuk made no move to follow them and smiled. He felt a weird mixture of emotions. When had his little sister grown so much? He was a bit sad that he hadnt been there for her, but he was also glad that YuSung had managed to take care of her in his stead.

He had no issue with his sister getting into a relationship with YuSung, but

'I guess Grandfather is going to be the problem'

Shinsung President SeokHan, unfortunately as it may be, didnt have a positive opinion of YuSung and was especially against her working as a hunter.

EunAh had inherited her grandfathers strong personality, so she wasnt likely to back down.

'Well. If anyone could pull it off, I guess it would be her.'

* * *

The two talked as if they were the only ones in the room. Meanwhile, SeokHan turned to the chef and said, Our guest is curious about the food. Go on and explain it to him with as many details as possible!

"Yes! Understood!"

The innocent chef stiffened after he received such an important figures attention, but EunAh was only just getting started.

After YuSung received his steak and started trying to cut it, EunAh let out a sigh. Ah Youll take forever to eat it at that rate.

JunHyuk gave her a nervous look. 'You arent thinking of doing what I think you are in front of Grandfather, right?'

Was it because she just wasnt embarrassed by such things, or was it maybe because she reasoned she was helping him? She stood and walked toward his chair.

"You dummy, she said, give it to me."

She helped him hold his fork and knife properly.

"Hold the knife like this and cut with your index finger."

SeokHan gave her a disapproving look, but she didnt stop there.

Go ahead and try it with the carrot puree as well, she said.

"Thanks, EunAh."

She even fed it to him. "How's the taste?"

"It's delicious. The meat's melting in my mouth."

Finally, she wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Pft. It might be delicious, but you should try to stay cleaner as you eat. What are you, a kid?"

SeokHan was at a complete loss for words. "Y-you"

"Oh, my, EunAh~ Come and sit. You also have to eat."

"Okay, Mom~ Just one more thing."

Despite what she said, EunAh continued to stand next to YuSung.

SeokHan called for the chef and mumbled, "Next time Bring out a bowl of water with rice to ensure our guest can eat in comfort.

"Ah, yes! Understood, President!"

"What did you understand? I was just joking."

Even the innocent chef was starting to struggle until YunHa gently put her silverware down and softly said, "As I expected, I believe YuSung can become very good friends with EunAh.

Though her tone was soft, her words cut deep. "It doesnt seem like you even need to do dangerous hunter work together or be in the same party.

"What are you saying? EunAh asked. Didnt we already discuss this?"

"Yes, but weve only given you a temporary allowance. EunAh, you're a member of our family, and your relations are also a family matter. Doesnt it only make sense that I make decisions for the good of the family?

She wasnt only talking to her daughter. There was another reason they'd invited YuSung to their residence.

"I'm sorry for mentioning this so suddenly, she said in a businesslike tone, but we never sent EunAh to the Academy to become a hunter.

EunAh gave her mother a stiff look. "Mom, I"

"EunAh, we just wanted you to gain the requisite foundation for your experience and abilities. Even those in administration need to understand what happens in the field as hunters become more and more common.

EunAh looked over at SeokHan. As her grandfather, he usually sided with her, but his eyes met hers as he calmly said, Everything has its limit, and I dont want my granddaughter to be doing such dangerous work. I ask this as a representative of the family and promise well properly reward you for saying JunHyuk, so could you remove EunAh from your party?

Thats when she realized that her grandfather was the one to organize the entire get-together and shed never seriously convinced anyone in her family other than her mother.

Although some might think they were being overprotective, nobody in her family wanted her to work in such a dangerous field.

"Did you call us here" EunAh gave her family a resentful look. "To say that?"

JunHyuk made a bitter expression and avoided her gaze before promptly getting up. "I'm full. Thanks for the food."

SeokHan nodded and said, "Yes, I also think that I'm full."

Then, as if theyd arranged it beforehand, EunAhs mother and father both stood up.

"Mom! I already told you! I!"

YunHa lifted her index finger. "No I'll listen to what you want to say tomorrow, okay? I need to give you some time to organize your thoughts." With that being said, they left.

JunHyuk, whod remained behind for a few moments, looked at YuSung. "I hope youre able to rest well during your stay here. No matter what happens, itd be nice if you could maintain your close friendship.

Eventually, everyone else left the table.

"I hate you all" EunAh mumbled.
