CH 16

Ye-Hyeon calmed down his trembling heart and turned around.

In the half-shaded space behind the archery range, a white-painted figure stood.

It’s dark so Ye-Hyeon can’t see well, but he could feel Shin Do-Gyeom looking at him.

If Ye-Hyeon hadn’t known in advance that Shin Do-Gyeom came, he would have been surprised and think that Shin Do-Gyeom was a ghost.

Why is he doing that?

As if waiting for Ye-Hyeon to find out, Shin Do-Gyeom slowly moved and entered the room.

Ye-Hyeon stared blankly.

His eyes widened as if surprised after Shin Do-Gyeom’s face was revealed in the dawn light.

“We’re meeting again here. I came first this time, you know?”

Ye-Hyeon said a little bluntly on purpose.

Shin Do-Gyeom made an unpleasant expression, but he did not refute it.

‘What? The atmosphere is better than I thought, right?’ Ye-Hyeon thought.

It was surprising because Ye-Hyeon thought he would have a big fight if he met Shin Do-Gyeom at the archery field.

It was fortunate to know that it was a good choice to come first and wait for him.

The affection level also increased by one point, but Ye-Hyeon did not pay much attention.

It was obvious that he was interested in the bow.

No matter what anyone says, Shin Do-Gyeom is a ‘crazy man with a bow’, so ‘crazy man with a bow’ was one of Shin Do-Gyeom’s titles.

Ye-Hyeon stopped pretending to be wary and smiled faintly.

“Are you interested in bows, too?” Ye-Hyeon asked.

Shin Do-Gyeom didn’t respond.

“Nevermind” Ye-Hyeon continued.

Most people cut off the conversation so cold that the other person couldn’t even dare to talk to them anymore but Ye-Hyeon is different.

“But we really run into each other often. It’s meant to be. Don’t you want to say your name? I’m Choi Ye-Hyeon. What’s your name?”

However, Ye-Hyeon continued to talk to Shin Do-Gyeom without giving up.

Today, he is facing Shin Do-Gyeom without being nervous, probably because his mind is ready.

“You said you weren’t a stalker. Don’t bother me.” Shin Do-Gyeom replied in annoyance.

“I don’t want to be a stalker. Don’t you think it’s unfair to be treated like a stalker? I think we’ll keep bumping into each other in the future, so let’s just say hello.”

Shin Do-Gyeom ignored Ye-Hyeon and passed by to pick up the bow.

Ye-Hyeon took a shallow breath.

“Don’t go against your will. You don’t have to rush!”

Ye-Hyeon could have held Shin Do-gyeom and forced the conversation to continue, but Ye-Hyeon chose silence for various reasons.

To be honest, Ye-Hyeon wanted to see Shin Do-Gyeom shoot an arrow.

The sight of Shin Do-Gyeom’s training was a rare sight that no one had ever seen.

Shin Do-Gyeom closed his eyes for a moment, while standing infront of the target.

It was a target much smaller and farther than the target that Ye-Hyeon used for practice.

Shin Do-Gyeom preferred a long bow 1.5 times longer than a normal bow.

Perhaps because he was 190cm tall, the bow did not feel long at all.

The simple wooden bow went well with the white Shin Do-Gyeom.

After becoming a hunter, Shin Do-Gyeom used a metal iron bow.

His bow is a Cheoltaegung[1], and the famous master blacksmith Cheon Tae-Soo fell in love with traditional national archery and gave it a proper name.

[[1]Traditional Korean bows can be classified into the following categories: gakgung, gogung, jeongryanggung, yegung, mokgung, cheolgung, and cheoltaegung.]

When Shin Do-Gyeom was in such a hurry that it was difficult to take out the dagger, he swung his bow and split the monster’s skull.

Unlike his slim appearance he can lightly swing a metal bow that was usually difficult to lift. He is a special force to be reckon with.

Shin Do-Gyeom, who slowly opened his eyes, pulled the bow with his left hand.

Ye-Hyeon, who was watching with a bated breath, bit his lower lip hard.

Otherwise, his exclamations would flow out.

So far, all Ye-Hyeon saw was Shin Do-Gyeom, who shot a an arrow quickly during the battle.

Of course, there was no flaw then, but the calm bow-pulling posture in a static environment seemed perfect for the clumsy eyes of Ye-Hyeon.

Ye-Hyeon looked at the upright upper body, the firmly bent arms, and the tightly pulled bow one after another.

The combination of straight and curved lines was beautiful.

In addition, as Ye-Hyeon had thought for a long time, Shin Do-Gyeom had a high nose and a sleek nose, so his side profile was very pretty.

With the sound of a clear bow, a sharp arrow flew through the bluish sunlight at dawn.

Even the sound of the arrow cutting through the air was different from Ye-Hyeon’s.

The sharp arrow penetrated the center of the target accurately.

It was so cool that Ye-Hyeon wanted to clap.

Shin Do-Gyeom picked up the next arrow without losing his concentration.

Ye-Hyeon sat down in a place where he could see Shin Do-Gyeom well.

Even though he is in his foresight, Shin Do-Gyeom did not give a single glance.

When Ye-Hyeon started training, he couldn’t also see anything else.

He must be serious!

Ye-Hyeon put his chin on his hand and smiled.

He felt rewarded for waking up early for a few days. All his hardwork paid off.

The calm atmosphere of the archery field, which he thought was creepy, felt calm and clean after Shin Do-Gyeom came.

From that day on, Ye-Hyeon and Shin Do-Gyeom’s subtle morning training continued.

To be exact, Ye-Hyeon was not a trainee but a fanatic.

Ye-Hyeon also shot a bow, but when Shin Do-Gyeom started practicing, he put everything down and sat against the wall.

Ye-Hyeon lost track of time just watching Shin Do-Gyeom shoot an arrow.

Sometimes Shin Do-Gyeom who treated Ye-Hyeon as an invisible man would stare at Ye-Hyeon without hiding his anger.

Then Ye-Hyeon would shamelessly reply,

“I’m on a field trip.”

It has already been a week, but the only conversation between the two was Ye-Hyeon’s one-sided greeting.

Ye-Hyeon sought opportunities to talk to him from time to time without interfering with the training, but Shin Do-Gyeom rarely showed a gap.

He kept ignoring Ye-Hyeon even though he would talk to him once in a while.

Even today, Ye-Hyeon swallowed a yawn while looking at Shin Do-Gyeom silently shooting arrows.

It’s kind of weird to interrupt the training.

It’s also against the person holding the weapon.

It isn’t possible, but if it’s Shin Do-Gyeom’s personality, it wouldn’t be strange to point the bow at the forehead without hesitation because it was annoying.’

With his personality, it wouldn’t be strange if Shin Do-Gyeom would just point the bow at his forehead without just because he is annoying.

Ye-Hyeon imagined Shin Do-Gyeom threatening him with a cold face and then he laughed quietly.

The best time to talk was after the training was over.

As if he knew that Ye-Hyeon was looking for him, Shin Do-Gyeom would disappear in a blink of an eye after training.

Ye-Hyeon, who lacked basic physical strength could not catch up with Shin Do-gyeom. He was walking down the mountain without resting with his long legs.

The misunderstanding of him being a stalker must have been cleared up, since he did didn’t move or kick him out to another archery field, right?

Unfortunately, the intimacy and affection remained the same, but the atmosphere was not so bad compared to the rough start at first. Except that there was no conversation, it was even peaceful.

Considering that it took Yoon Seung-Jae a long time to reach 1 point in intimacy’

Ye-Hyeon’s hope was rising because he seemed to be flowing fairly smoothl.

Ye-Hyeon was going to ask Shin Do-Gyeom out to have dinner soon.

Ye-Hyeon thought it would be better to flirt with Shin Do-Gyeom openly to get close to him because he started suspecting Ye-Hyeon unintentionally.

Looking at Shin Do-gyeom’s attitude now, even if it was obvious that he would refuse, he would not lose his intimacy.

What if it goes up to -7 points soon?

Ye-Hyeon was itching to get close to Shin Do-Gyeom step by step.

Ye-Hyeon rubbed his mouth with the back of his hand, but it didn’t take long to realize that the expectation was an innocent illusion.

The next afternoon, Ye-Hyeon ran into Shin Do-Gyeom on his way to the meeting place to meet Yoon Seung-Jae.

Strangely, it has been a long time since Ye-Hyeon met Shin Do-Gyeom in the middle of the day.

Perhaps because of his sensitive impression, Shin Do-Gyeom looked better with cool moonlight than warm sunlight.

Ye-Hyeon raised his hand with a big smile.

“Hi…”

However, Shin Do-Gyeom passed by the side without looking back while pretending that he didn’t see Ye-Hyeon.

“Ahaha.”

Ye-Hyeon, who was staring blankly with a stupid face until Shin Do-Gyeom’s back disappeared from view, suddenly bent down to his waist and laughed loudly.

‘It’s not easy, as expected, Shin Do-Gyeom, you…I was completely ignored, but somehow I didn’t feel bad. Rather, the motivation was fired up.’ He thought

Ye-Hyeon felt like he could understand the feelings of people who were enthusiastic while playing Dating Simulation.

I’m team Joo-Ho. I feel like he would be the end game, but Seung-Jae is so cute.
