CH 74

32. Mind reading (2)

Baek Hae-Won could not have brought him to the hospital without knowing about ASDT.

No, he brought him here on purpose to get ASDT.’

Ye-Hyeon’s expression hardened. He felt like his blood was cooling off.

‘Are you doubting me?’For what?’

Ye-Hyeon bit his lower lip. Although their intimacy was zero, Ye-Hyeon was embarrassed because he thought he was getting along with Baek Hae-won smoothly.

‘Did they notice that I regressed? That can’t be true. Is he just checking because I’m a healer? Why the hell?’

Ye-Hyeon doesn’t know in detail, but ASDT is difficult to analyze and expensive.

Ye-Hyeon heard that it takes a lot of manpower. For most reasons, ASDT would not be secretly examined.

That means they’ve done the background checks. And yet they still doubt it?’

It was all the more serious because he had no idea when and what Baek Hae-Won was suspicious of.

·…what should I do?’

Baek Hae-Won was definitely the most normal person among the targets. Ye-Hyeon was optimistic that targeting Baek Hae-Won would be easy, but he encountered an unexpected difficulty.

Baek Hae-Won said he would wait until the inspection was over. As soon as the last examination was over, Ye-Hyeon hurriedly returned to the single room assigned to the waiting room.

Ye-Hyeon opened the door with a grim look on his face.

“Hunter Baek Hae-Won!”

He made eye contact with Baek Hae-Won, through a wide open door gap. Baek Hae-Won had a white shirt in his hand, taking it off his upper body, as if he was changing.

Bang!

Surprised, Ye-Hyeon closed the door hard.

“What, what.”

Ye-Hyeon was very embarrassed and retreated.

He didn’t know because it was always covered with a loose robe, but Baek Hae-Won’s upper body was full of fine muscles. Baek Hae-Won’s body was unfairly as pretty as her face. In particular, the line from the shoulder to the collarbone and forearm was particularly beautiful.

Baek Hae-Won is a man…….’

It was only a few seconds at most, but Baek Hae-Won’s afterimage could not be erased from his head.

The lower abdomen, which was not found to be flabby, was quite clearly cracked, and the skin without blemishes looked soft, so Ye-Hyeon thought he wanted to touch it without realizing it.

Ye-Hyeon shook his head.

It’s not a gender issue.’

It was just Baek Hae-Won that was the problem.

“Wake up, Choi Ye-Hyeon.”

Ye-Hyeon hit both cheeks quite hard with his palm.

Ye-Hyeon soon smoothed his lower abdomen with a discontented expression. On holidays, he was steadily training his physical strength and swordsmanship, but his muscles were not well built.

He is jealous of Yoon Seung-Jae and Kwon Joo-H, but when he found out that Shin Do-Gyeom and Baek Hae-Won only looked thin but were in good shape Ye-Hyeon was upset.

There was a light knock in the single room.

“You can come in.”

Laughing Baek Hae-Won’s voice sounded somewhat mischievous.

Ye-Hyeon carefully opened the door, rubbing his still warm cheeks with the back of his hand.

“I’m sorry……”

Ye-Hyeon couldn’t bear to make eye contact and glanced at the ground.

“No, it’s my fault. My outfit stands out so much and I changed. I thought you’d come a little later. You came back earlier than I thought. Are you done with the examination?”

“……Yes.”

Ye-Hyeon’s chestnut eyes stayed at Baek Hae-Won’s feet and slowly climbed up.

Neat shoes, dark gray slacks, and a white shirt. It was nothing special, but it felt shiny because Baek Hae-Won was wearing it.

Ye-Hyeon ‘s eyes unconsciously floated under the white shirt and hurriedly scattered his thoughts. It was absurd to think of his bare skin.

However, Ye-Hyeon was in trouble because he kept thinking of a body that was good to see if he let his guard down even a little.

‘Wide shoulders but thin waist.No, this isn’t the point right now.’

Ye-Hyeon corrected his mind, which kept getting dazed.

“When will the test results come out?”

Baek Hae-Won asked lightly with a harmless face that no one would suspect he did a aback handed thing.

I’m gonna pretend I don’t know anything.’

After taking a short breath, Ye-Hyeon smiled peacefully.

“It’s coming out in three days.”

“Let me know when the results come out. I’m worried because Ye-Hyeon is too weak.” Baek Hae-Won looked upset.

Ye-Hyeon took a breath. If he didn’t know Baek Hae-Won doubted him, he would have been deceived.

“I will. Thank you for your concern.”

Ye-Hyeon brazenly pretended to be moved, even though he knew that Baek Hae-Won would receive the results before him.

It was harder than he thought to know that the other person was suspicious but pretend not to be aware of it.

He needs to know what Baek Hae-Won is thinking.

Ye-Hyeon closed his lips tightly. I didn’t even have to think about who to register for Mind Reading anymore.

“Oh, Hunter Baek Hae-Won. Wait a minute.”

Ye-Hyeon deliberately approached Baek Hae-Won so close that the front noses of their shoes brushed against each other.

A sweet smell passed through his nose. It was a gentle scent that did not go well with Baek Hae-Won’s appearance. It was soft and subtle but light at the end.

Baek Hae-Won was forced to stop while trying to reflexively stop his upper body back. Despite seeing Baek Hae-Won’s attitude of hiding his rejection, Ye-Hyeon closed her eyes and smiled.

“It’s a little crooked.”

Ye-Hyeon calmly lowered his eyes and smoothed Baek Hae-Won’s shirt collar.

He was observing him.

The stealthy and subtle gaze meticulously scanned Ye-Hyeon’s face.

Ye-Hyeon swallowed the dry saliva so that it wouldn’t be obvious.

“……I guess it was because I was in a hurry. Thank you.”

Baek Hae-Won spoke slowly.

Ye-Hyeon glanced up. The smiling red lips came into view.

He knew Baek Hae-Won was taller than him, but he’s handsome.Perhaps because of his pretty appearance, he has never realized the height difference. However, when Ye-Hyeon stood close to him, there was a lot more difference than he vaguely felt.

Is it similar to Kwon Joo-Ho? He’s a little smaller than him.

Ye-Hyeon roughly measured Baek Hae-Won’s height. It seemed to be about mid-180cm.

“It’s done.”

Ye-Hyeon gently touched Baek Hae-Won’s collarbone, which was clearly revealed even when he was wearing clothes while taking off his hands.

[system] ‘Skill : Mind Reading’ ‘Target 2: Baek Hae-Won’ has been registered.

[system] Adjusts the maximum number of characters that can be read due to lack of skill proficiency. (Maximum number of characters: 3)

He can only read three letters?’

Ye-Hyeon smiled on purpose while pulling the distance.

“Suspicious…”

Ye-Hyeon chewed his tongue, guessing the omitted words afterwards.

As soon as he used the “mind reading” skill, Baek Hae-won’s true feelings were revealed. He knew it, but he was bitter.

‘But wouldn’t it be okay because it’s Baek Hae-Won and not anyone else?’’

Baek Hae-Won can hold a good conversation. Since he is mature and has good common sense, he may be able to narrow his psychological distance if he gains trust.

‘Yes, let’s think of it as an opportunity.’

Ye-Hyeon’s eyes were once again filled with energy.

In order to do that, Baek Hae-Won must realize that he is not suspicious, but there was nothing more suspicious than saying, “I’m not a suspicious person.” First of all, it was important to know what Baek Hae-Won was suspicious of.

“As Hunter Baek Hae-Won said, I had a regular checkup, so can I ask you a favor?” Ye-Hyeon asked jokingly, moving Baek Hae-Won’s window where his inner thoughts appeared to a well-visible position. “Please?”

‘What are you doing…’

Baek Hae-Won, sitting on the sofa, tilted his head with his chin on the back of his hand.

“Why all of a sudden?”

“Money is necessary…”

Baek Hae-Won smiled softly and did not take his eyes off Ye-Hyeon.

It would be better if he could make money…….

Ye-Hyeon hid his true feelings and scratched his cheek.

“I didn’t know much about my availability. I think I can learn something if I use it a lot.”

“Did Do-Gyeom say something?””

“Shin Do-Gyeom…”

“……We didn’t talk, we fought.”

Ye-Hyeon remembered the conversation he had with Shin Do-Gyeom in the basement and squinted his eyes.

“That’s great. Congratulations, Ye-Hyeon.”

However, Baek Hae-Won suddenly congratulated him.

“I had a fight with a party member. Why are you congratulating me?””

“It’s not the best thing to keep it inside. And you made up, didn’t you?”

“Well…”

Ye-Hyeon continued to read Baek Hae-Won’s inner thoughts, but the information available in only three letters was limited. Of course, it was better than nothing.

“We had to make up, but… Anyway, is there a way?”

“Hmm. I don’t know if you know it, but a healer is recognized as an A-Class. I think it will be difficult because Ye-Hyeon’s grade is still low.”

“It’s possible…”

“Really? Then there’s nothing we can do.”

Ye-Hyeon was disappointed but gave up quickly.

He brought it up to know if Baek Hae-Won is watching him closely because he was a healer, but there was no particular result.

Ye-Hyeon picked up the robe to change his patient’s clothes.

“That’s right, there’s something unusual during the test…….”

As soon as Ye-Hyeon tried to talk about ASDT as if it were a strange story, the door opened with a rattling sound.

“Uh……”

Looking back, Ye-Hyeon couldn’t manage his expression.

“Oh, here you are.”

He never wanted to meet him again, but Lee Young-Shin walked into the hospital room with a condensing step.

“What brings you here?”

Baek Hae-Won stood up from his seat and blocked Lee Young-Shin. Baek Hae-won was still smiling, but his voice was a tone lower than when he talked to Ye-Hyeon.

“Last time, my children were helped by the healer. I’m here to repay you.” Lee Young-Shin spoke.

Ye-Hyeon hurried to Baek Hae-won’s side.

No one came to help this time. In other words, Baek Hae-won is the only one who can protect him from the bad guy like Lee Young-shin.

“Hunter.”

As soon as Ye-Hyeon slightly put his hand on Baek Hae-Won’s arm with a worried look, Baek Hae-Won’s inner feelings were renewed.

“Fuck.”

Ye-Hyeon dropped the robe in his hand.
