CH 71

30. Event Occurrence(5)

He accepted without reservation.

“…do you have no pride?”

His hearing was sensitive because his vision was limited. Thanks to this, Ye-Hyeon was able to understand the subtle emotional changes in Shin Do-Gyeom’s voice more quickly than usual. Shin Do-Gyeom seemed a little angry.

“What’s the point of being proud? That doesn’t mean that money will run out.” Ye-Hyeon murmured bitterly.

Arrogance and stubbornness were shortcuts that directly led to death for Ye-Hyeon, who had no power. He can’t help it when he doesn’t know, but after recognizing mistakes or shortcomings, Ye-Hyeon had no choice but to accept and fix them even if he didn’t like them. Ye-Hyeon managed to survive by forcing himself again and again.

Although he acknowledged Shin Do-Gyeom’s criticism and reflected on his complacent attitude, it did not completely relieve his frustration with Shin Do-Gyeom.

“Don’t keep picking on me and let me know. Didn’t you say that because you knew something?”

Ye-Hyeon realized that what he did so far isn’t that useful, but he didn’t know what to do now. He felt like a boat drifting in the open sea.

“Explain your Ability.”

Ye-Hyeon thought he would ignore it, but Shin Do-Gyeom unexpectedly responded positively.

“Huh? It’s for healing.”

“Do think I ask because I don’t know that? What’s the characteristic?”

Shin Do-Gyeom pressed again to Ye-Hyeon, who was wondering why he was asking when he already knew everything.

“……I can restore the wound to its original state.”

Ye-Hyeon had never thought about the characteristics of his skills. He thought about it for a while and read the description of the skill.

“What are the criteria for your skills to register it as a wound?”

“That is…”

“What is the concept of your skills? When you treat someone you always hold them with your palm, can you treat them without doing so? Have you tried using it from afar?”

Ye-Hyeon, who tried to answer proudly, was spaced out by a series of questions. These were things that he never thought about.

“You’ve never focused on your senses when using your Ability, have you? Before you ask me anything, just understand your skills properly.” When Ye-Hyeon closed his mouth like a clam, Shin Do-Gyeom scolded him, feeling pathetic as if he knew it would be. It’s a sense of skill.…?’

Ye-Hyeon looked down at his hands.

When he used a skill, all he needed to do was “try the skill.” Then the skill was used naturally.

Just as people are not conscious of breathing, Ye-Hyeon has never been conscious of what mechanism the skill is used for. It’s so obvious.

It was the same with regular hunters. The only difference was that Ye-Hyeon used Ability with his head and they used Ability with their instinctive senses.

‘Does he always think and try so hard?’’

Just a glimpse of Shin Do-Gyeom’s efforts made him dizzy.

“It’s possible that I won’t be noticed.”

Ye-Hyeon felt ashamed for throwing heat against Shin Do-Gyeom.

‘No, it’s Shin Do-Gyeom’s fault. Whatever the reason, he shouldn’t talk like that. Is all he is capable is fighting?’ Ye-Hyeon was blaming Shin Do-Gyeom, soon raised both his hands and feet.

No matter how low and resentful it was, Shin Do-Gyeom was Shin Do-Gyeom to Ye-Hyeon. When he recalled the Shin Do-Gyeom before regression, the bad feelings melted in vainly melted down.

“……I understand what you mean. I’ll try from now on. So you too…….” Ye-Hyeon chose his words.

“You should talk nicely from now on, too. Got it?”

“What?”

“If you’re dissatisfied with me, don’t pick a fight and say it in words like now. How would I know if you don’t tell me? It’s not hard.”

Ye-Hyeon slowly rubbed his cheeks but made what he had to say clear.

Although he felt better for ridiculous reasons, he no longer intended to tolerate Shin Do-Gyeom’s bad attitude.

“You’re going to make an effort.”

“Yes.”

Yehyun answered without hesitation.

“……you’re a healer, too. I don’t believe in healers.”

Shin Do-Gyeom said cynically. Somehow, it was a nuance that seemed to hate a healer.

Has he met Healer before?’

Ye-Hyeon tilted his head.

Even the high-ranking hunters felt it was as hard as picking stars in the sky to see a healer. So it’s harder for a normal person to meet a healer.

It was safe to say that it was almost impossible.

‘If he doesn’t like healers, why did he come to the party?’

Ye-Hyeon was so curious that he couldn’t find the answer but, he couldn’t pry out without giving him a chance.

He will take his time to figure it out.

For Shin Do-Gyeom, it was more effective to show it through action than words. And Ye-Hyeon was confident in showing effort, even though he didn’t know anything else. It won’t be too late to ask after regaining intimacy.

Ye-Hyeon felt like he had found a clue about Shin Do-Gyeom, who was twisted in many ways. Ye-Hyeon felt more relaxed, and slightly bent the corners of his mouth.

“Anyway, let’s get along well. We’re going to be together for a long time. ”

Ye-Hyeon glanced at the quest window and sneaked up on Shin Do-Gyeom. I’m not sure, but there was still a distance that he couldn’t reach even if he stretched his arm.

“Since it’s the same party, let’s love and embrace each other.”

“Love?”

When Shin Do-Gyeom asked back sarcastically, Ye-Hyeon looked happy. Shin Do-Gyeom took the bait.

“Yes, love. I really love our party. I love Yoon Seung-Jae, I love Hunter Baek Hae-Won, Kwon, anyway……. I love you, too, Shin Do-Gyeom as a party member So let’s cooperate, please.”

“I love you.”

Ye-Hyeon added one more time just in case. Shin Do-Gyeom said he hated him for being shameless, but he couldn’t really confess or be in distress.

Fortunately, the second mission was soon finished. Ye-Hyeon smiled.

“That’s only when we can get out of here.”

Despite Ye-Hyeon’s passionate expression of affection, Shin Do-Gyeom’s reaction was acrimonious.

Ye-Hyeon crawled to Shin Do-Gyeom.

“And what else?”

Ye-Hyeon heard Shin Do-Gyeom. Ye-Hyeon took a small deep breath.

“……can I hold your hand?”

“Can you?”

Shin Do-Gyeom was sarcastic.

Ye-Hyeon’s ears, which were distant even when he said “I love you,” turned red.

“I’m a little scared of the dark. I don’t like it. I’ll do nothing and just hold hands. Huh? If you don’t want to hold hands, you can at least lend me your wrist. I’ll just put my hand on it. I won’t do anything weird…….”

Ye-Hyeon was asking half-pleadingly and quietly closed her mouth. Something was strange as he continued talking.

But he couldn’t give up here. Ye-Hyeon slipped out his hand again.

“……If you don’t want a wrist, just a little finger is fine, so lend it to me for a while.”

No one can’t see it because it was dark, but Ye-Hyeon even made a crying face and pretended to be as pitiful as possible.

‘Do you think I’m doing this so you could like me? This is all for us. This is how you can escape.’ Ye-Hyeon grumbled to himself. “……come on.”

Shin Do-Gyeom reluctantly gave up his hand as if his long-cherished plea had worked.

“Thank you.”

Excited Ye-Hyeon quickly stretched out his arms. However, he couldn’t find Shin Do-Gyeom’s hand and held only the air.

Where the hell is he?’

Ye-Hyeon waved his hands and moved closer to Shin Do-Gyeom. Then, he managed to touch Shin Do-Gyeom’s knee, not his hand.

Shin Do-Gyeom flinched slightly as if he was surprised by the sudden contact.

“Sorry, I can’t see you.”

Ye-Hyeon calmly groped outside Shin Do-Gyeom’s thigh and headed toward his side.

“It doesn’t matter since we are both guys.”

Ye-Hyeon’s touch was unstoppable. Ye-Hyeon brushed Shin Do-Gyeom’s pelvis and climbed up his upper body.

He felt it dimly earlier, but his muscles were firm compared to his slender body. Ye-Hyeon plays inwardly, but he quietly closed his mouth because he thought he would be treated like a pervert if he complimented him now.

Ye-Hyeon finally found his shoulder and swept Shin Do-Gyeom’s arm down with his palm. It was only after going down for a long time that Shin Do-Gyeom’s hand appeared.

Shin Do-Gyeom was clutching his fist as hard as he could.

‘You didn’t want me to touch you? You’re not saying you won’t give me your hand now, are you?’

Ye-Hyeon touched Shin Do-Gyeom’s pinky with his fingertips while looking at Shin Do-gyeom’s face. Shin Do-Gyeom showed no signs of opening his hands.

“……Should I grab your wrist?”

“Sigh.”

When Ye-Hyeon asked carefully, Shin Do-Gyeom sighed annoyingly again and grabbed Ye-Hyeon’s wrist.

“Don’t lift a finger. It’s annoying.”

“Yes.”

Ye-Hyeon hurriedly answered so as not to offend Shin Do-Gyeom. The heart, which had been secretly noisy due to the warm warmth, calmed down again.

Ye-Hyeon checked the quest window with a side glance. The remaining time of the touch mission was slowly decreasing.

Ye-Hyeon was relieved and finally leaned his back against the wall at a moderate distance from Shin Do-Gyeom.

“You know what?”

“It’s noisy.”

As soon as Ye-Hyeon opened his mouth, Shin Do-Gyeom cut off the words. A little more strength was put into the hand that grabbed Ye-Hyeon’s wrist.

Ye-Hyeon quietly closed his mouth because he was afraid that he would fail the mission if he talked more.

We can escape.

It was not that Ye-Hyeon was not anxious.

Ye-Hyeon opened the inventory and checked how much jerky was stored as emergency food.

He is in trouble because there’s no water.

Originally, he would have killed Zombie Wolf and then got drinking water.

It was quite warm, perhaps because it was dark and quiet everywhere and dry grass was piled up around it. Assuming the worst situation, Ye-Hyeon’s eyelids, which were seriously calculating how many days he could endure, slowly sank.

Water is a must to put in the inventory.
