Chapter 220

Chapter 220

The morning sunlight trickled through the curtains. Lee Hyuk looked at HaYoon, who was silently reading a book. He was surprised that she could seem so interested in a book shed already read several times. She looked more like a typical student her age at that moment, which he thought was a better fit for her than her typical tyrant side.

The moment HaYoon closed her book and opened her mouth, though

"What happened to those pieces of trash?"

The peaceful atmosphere was shattered.

Hyuk calmly accepted it and thought, 'Yes, this is the real HaYoon.' "The monster wasn't subjugated in time and caused damage to the surrounding shops. The losses were significant."

"Is that so?" she indifferently responded.

Hyuk continued speaking, wary of her reaction. "The contract we received was canceled, and we returned the payment. Two dungeon requests were canceled as well.

"Okay, got it. It can't be helped."

HaYoon opened her book again. Though the atmosphere might have seemed peaceful at first glance, she kept her gaze on the book and said, Who recommended those pieces of trash?

There were three ways in which the Hunter Club gave jobs: by HaYoons decision, to the Sevens or another student with a good rank, or by recommendation from someone like Hyuk.

"That's" Hyuk began sweating nervously. Hed been the one to recommend the so-called trash. HaYoons past actions began replaying in his mind.

[P-please! Spare me!] She'd choked a first-year student with telekinesis for not having knocked three times.

[Student Council President! Please, give me one more chance!] She'd ruthlessly expelled four club members.

[How shameless are they to ask for such a favor just because we're blood-related?] She'd even spoken ill of her own family 11 times. She had a famously bad character.

'It's over. I think I can already hear her voice.' [Lee Hyuk, I'm disappointed Do you want to become trash, too?] She would either mock him while smiling as usual or sarcastically question his ability. [Youre not the one Im disappointed in. Im disappointed in myself for believing you were competing.]

[If you aren't fit to stand by my side, then how about you quit now?] Shed probably ask him to quit.

'Yes, it will probably be one of the three.'

For some reason, though, she slowly turned a page and said, Yes, its understandable. Had he heard wrong? Did she say it was understandable? "Trust is important in our line of work, so be more careful next time."

He thought she mustve been feeling ill or something, but he realized she was in a good mood after she laughed. "There isn't much time left," she said.

If she were feeling good, maybe she would answer him? "HaYoon, what do you mean by that?" he cautiously asked.

She should also be tired from the match He was a bit worried, but it wasnt needed.

"I've just finished preparing soup! This is the sweet potato candy you said was delicious the other day, and this is beef soup!" She didnt look tired at all. In fact, she somehow seemed even more energized. It looked like preparing breakfast for him revitalized her.

YuSung, still looking a bit groggy, picked up a piece of the candy and placed it in his mouth. The sugary coating, followed by the soft taste of the sweet potato, made for a perfect combination.

'This is the best'

She gave him a worried look, unable to read his mind. "You don't like it? Maybe I made it too sweet"

"As expected, it's delicious," he said in approval.

Sumire finally relaxed. "That's a relief!"

"It makes me want to eat your breakfast for the rest of my life." Unfortunately, he went a bit too far with his compliments that day.

'F-for the rest of your life Breakfast?' Her expression didnt change much, but her imagination was running wild with vivid imagery.

[YuSung! Breakfast's ready!] She saw herself preparing a meal with a ring on her finger and an apron tied around her waist.

[Sumire, Honey Thank you for the delicious breakfast, as always.] YuSung gently hugged her from behind.

[Mom! I'm here!] [Me too! Where's Dad?] She saw a vivid image of their children returning home.

[Sumire, I love you as much as breakfast.] YuSung decided to renew their wedding vows while caressing the ring on her hand. [Let's be together forever.]

[YuSung!]

Their vows of eternal love and imagined memories passed through her brain like a panorama.

"Hehe" She shamelessly daydreamed in front of him until the ringing of a Pocket disrupted her.

Ring!

[Shin HaYoon: I didn't expect you to call me. You made a good decision. Regardless of your choice, there's no need to avoid it, right?]

[Shin HaYoon: See you at three. All of the YuSu and ShinOh family members will be waiting for you.]

"Huh" Sumire unintentionally read the message, but what surprised her was YuSungs frozen expression. "YuSung Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Very few people other than EunAh knew he used to be a member of the ShinOh family, and now there was one more person.

"I cant believe youre related to the student council president"

"I don't think I am anymore" YuSung calmly answered. He was planning to meet his father, Shin KangYoon, and his mother, Yu MinSeo, to conclude negotiations as YuWol had advised. Still, I need to visit them to put an end to something.

It would be even better if I could learn more about my sister there. He was planning to solve everything himself and return.

Before he could leave, Sumire gave him a serious look and asked, Then could I accompany you?
