Chapter 111 - There's a man in your room!

Eun Ha's question didn't go unanswered for long. Around the corner, among the quite stunned people who were leaving the building, the fairy In Jung helped the Hunter to stand. The stylist ran to her tutor, to help him too. The Hunter was badly injured and exhausted; it looked like he would pass out at any moment.

In Jung put the fairy Shin in the back seat, with Eun Ha's help. Then In Jung just said to his protégé, "Let's get out of here while those useless mobsters are worried about the police!"

In fact, both police and firemen's sirens could be heard nearby. Leaving the building with other people from other floors, Eun Ha saw the LAN house customers. They're easily identifiable because they looked like zombies having trouble walking and dealing with the outside environment.

It was the last thing Eun Ha saw from that place, before they left there in the van that Yo Sub was driving.

After laying the Hunter down beside her on the van's seat, Eun Ha put Shin's head in her lap, so he would be more comfortable. She asked,

"What should we do?"

"Take him home or to Dominion," this was In Jung's reply.

"I don't want to. Don't take me anywhere," wearily said Shin.

"Hunter, you know that I cannot help you. I would like to, but I can't, said the thin, cadaverous man, now that Eun Ha could study him better. His clothes were quite loose on his body.

"I know. Don't worry," Hunter's response made even less sense to his apprentice. Eun Ha knew that she still had a lot of things she had to learn, but for now, she thought she should focus on what was urgent.

"Where are you going now?" she questioned the men, although what Eun Ha wanted to ask was, ' Why the hell can't you help the person who saved you? And what can I do to help Hunter Shin? And where the hell is Dominion, why nobody is telling me? Argh !'

The two men in the front seat looked at each other. Apparently they had no concrete plans after being released from their captivity. It was even understandable. Eun Ha tenderly stroked Hunter Shin's forehead and wiped some blood with the tip of her coat. She didn't want to panic, but her professor looked like he would collapse at any moment.

"Professor, stay with me! Hey. Please stay awake. We'll take you to the hospital," she felt her eyes water.

"NO!" said all the three men, and the fairy was startled.

"WHY NOT?!" she bellowed back at them.

"Because those bandits could find the Hunter easily there."

"Listen ..." said the Hunter, again trying to focus. "You both need to leave the country. They will recapture you them if you were sta ... In the glove compartment ... " In Jung went through the glove compartment immediately, finding an envelope with doc.u.ments and money. Turning around, he spoke,

"Agassi, you must take him home and heal him there. They'll be hunting us all in the next few days." Reaching out to grab the Hunter's hand briefly, he thanked,

"Hunter… We'll see each other again. Thank you."

They left Eun Ha and her injured Professor in front of her building. And disappeared into the night, with just that simple 'thank you'.

' Aishhhh… How ungrateful! ' she was astonished.

°°°

Eun Ha woke up with a beam of sunlight hitting her eye. She had been having nightmares about a stupid 'Hunting' that resulted in Professor Shin wounded. The fairy was about to roll over to reach the shutter cord and close it, but her body met an unexpected, hard wall in her mattress.

"Unn?!" 

The fashion designer felt the mountain beside her, and in shock removed her hand, opening her eyes and suppressing a scream of terror.

"Prof ...!"

Hunter Shin groaned, and shifted slightly. He was looking so bad!

' Omo! I want you right where you are, but not like that! ' Eun Ha jumped up, realizing that she had slept in her clothes and recollecting all the events after the hunt at once.

With some effort, she had managed to get the Professor to her apartment and to her room, in the middle of the night. That was when the Hunter simply collapsed on her bed. In desperation, all she could think about was using magic. Eun Ha didn't know if it was really possible to cure him, however. She had pointed her wand and strongly wished it would heal Shin, several times, but nothing really happened. And she must have slept out from exhaustion, without even realizing it. 

Today, however, Hunter Shin was no worse, on the contrary. Apparently he had not swelled, so there was nothing broken. Eun Ha also thought he had fewer cuts and fewer bruises than yesterday. He was quite smeared with blood and his clothes were in tatters, however. 

' Was he cured overnight? Did I make it? Did I heal Hunter Shin? Or did he heal himself? ' Eun Ha had no way of knowing for now. And for a change, her mind was full of questions. She searched for a bowl with warm water and also the first aid case. She could at least take care of what was still grazed externally. And the Hunter needed to be clean so as not to get infected.

Carefully, Eun Ha started to clean Shin's face. Then the fairy realized that she would have to cut the Hunter's torn clothes to clean and disinfect his wounds. While doing this, Shin narrowed his eyes, grumbling and trying to get away, sleepily,

"Jung!"

And went back to sleep.

Eun Ha just ignored this ineffective protest, and continued the cleaning and disinfection process, carefully and swiftly. But of course, Eun Ha's reaction to seeing the Hunter Shin with his bare torso was the best possible. ' Aha, I knew you were handsome and athletic…! Look at that, he certainly devotes a lot of time to physical training… Ah, I guess I shouldn't even be putting my hand on him! No! I'm being a great nurse! I'll sweep away the naughty thoughts right now! Get out, get out! Instead of staring at this vertical navel in that perfectly tough abdomen, with so many packs, you dirty girl, must apply more Povidone-iodine in this wound! OH! Look at his back! It's a sharp 'V'! Omo! And ... Wow, how many scars!'

The young fairy noticed, while cleaning the wounds of the other fairy, that the man she knew as Hunter Shin had many old scars, some almost faded, others more recent. ' Uhn… As I imagined, your life as a Hunter made you a pain-resistant, tough man… but even you have a limit… And… '

The handle on her bedroom door turned, and Eun Ha almost had a mini heart attack right there.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

"Unnie! Unnieeee!" Ye Rim's soft voice called from the other side of the door. It was rare for them to lock the doors, and of course, her best friend would find it strange. ' OMO! Omo! She will see Professor Shin here and ...!'

Eun Ha stood up wildly and started looking for a way to hide her teacher. She gathered up the objects and the scraps of clothing she had cut, and hid under the bed, hastily. But as for the Hunter, he could not be moved, nor was he a small object, and Ye Rim kept calling,

"Unnie?! Eun Ha ya? Are you okay?!"

"I am, I am, I just…! I'm going to open it, aishh, I'm going!" swallowing hard, the fairy found herself helpless, but that was only until her eyes hit her beautiful pen-shaped wand. ' Ah, save me, dear wand!'

Pointing her wand at Hunter Shin, who slept shirtless with his back to the door, Eun Ha cast a spell. Now, there wasn't a man with a s.e.xy V-shaped back on her bed anymore, but a sewing mannequin.

' Aha! I'm a genius!' happy with herself, Eun Ha smoothed out her clothes, and even decided to conjure up the simulacrum of her favorite pajamas, instead of those rumpled clothes. With everything ready, the fairy went to open the door for her friend.

"What was it, Ye Rim? What's wrong?!" She tried to sound as carefree as possible and was condescending to her donsaeng. Ye Rim looked her unnie up and down and shot,

"Unnie, what are those dark circles under your eyes? Ouch! You look like crap!"

Eun Ha touched the skin under her eyes, alarmed. ' Okay, I forgot about it, but why had Ye Rim to have such a sharp eye for detail?!'

"Ah, it's just that I have ..."

"Unnie, what a sorry state!" the younger girl touched the fairy's skirt, and Eun Ha blinked, stunned. ' A little while ago it was star-patterned pajamas!'

"Why, I, ...!"

"OHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ye Rim peered into the room, and pulled her friend out immediately, closing the bedroom door like there was a lion inside. Her face reflected a huge shock, but her eyes had an amused glow,

"UNNIE?! UNNIE!! How do you…! Unnie, there's a man in your room! In your bed!"

"Are you crazy?! It's not a man! It's just a… a sewing mannequin that I'm fixing! And…"

"Eun Ha! Where did you find such a 'sewing mannequin', uh?!" Now Ye Rim's expression was playful and provocative, but she got serious for a moment,

"Unnie, who is he? Who is your boyfriend? And… it's not a little too early for you…!"

"YE RIM! Stop right there! That's not it!" Eun Ha couldn't understand how Ye Rim had managed to break her magic, but she was sure she checked twice before opening the door! Only it didn't work with Ye Rim! 'What did I wrong? ' But it was no use crying over the spilled milk, and knowing Ye Rim, if she insisted it was a mannequin, they would end up fighting. She gave an embarrassed laugh,

"Ah hahaha, don't be like that! Judging so hastily! He's not my boyfriend. He's my teacher. My French teacher, remember? I already told you about my French classes, etc, etc."

"Uhn…" Ye Rim didn't seem very convinced, but she was finding it all funny, at least that's what it seemed. "Seriously? Your French teacher? And what is your French teacher doing in your bed, Agassi?"

"Er, that…"
