NOVEL NEXT WORLD Welcome to Dungeon Hotel
Chapter 191
As she finished speaking, Han Woohyun reached out with a startled expression to touch Junghyo’s cheek.
Then, he wiped away the tears that she hadn’t even noticed she had shed. Han Woohyun stuttered and said. “Why are you doing this… Why… just because of me…” Even though he heard Junghyo’s words clearly just now, he couldn’t believe it. Even as she stood in front of him, drenched in the rain, And crying in front of him, The reason was him. He thought this relationship would end if he didn’t get greedy. He thought that if he just gave up the small spot that Junghyo had given him, everything would be over. He didn’t know what to do when he saw Junghyo’s small shoulders shaking. It was chaotic as if the world had turned upside down. Then. Junghyo looked up at him with big eyes and spoke firmly. “I’m doing this because it’s you.” “…!” “I don’t care what kind of past you have or what anxieties you have. I don’t need a past that happened against your will or a future that hasn’t come yet. I will only believe in you as I see you now. What I like and love is who you are right now.” As if she had seen through all of his own worries and anxieties. “So you don’t have to worry about me. You only have to decide what you want.” Han Woohyun’s hand holding the umbrella was tense. So much so that his fingers turn white. “Will you run away from me who loves you and become unhappy?” Her little fingers rested lightly on his hand. The moment he felt her cold fingers twitching on top of his hand, he applied pressure to his jaw. “Will we be happy here and now?” He can’t say let’s be happy together forever. Because promising such things and believing in such promises only leads to more unhappiness. But it’s up to us to decide to be happy at this moment. If he decides to be happy at this moment, he can try his best. “My choice is the latter. Don’t think about replacing my choice. I’ll handle it on my own.” At that moment, Han Woohyun’s face was distorted as if it were collapsing. Even when Junghyo spits out words that hurt him in his memory, she was happy that his face, which didn’t crack, collapsed at the sound of her own words. I’m still this important person to you. Just checking this was enough. Now I really just respect your choice. Now I’m really tired of it. The choices to give up happiness so as not to be unhappy, which have dominated my whole life. Han Woohyun bit his lip and looked down at her with watery eyes. “I… I might be a different person from what you know.” “I don’t care.” “The good and kind side I’ve shown you might all be lies.” At his confession, she smiled with still moist eyes. “Thank you for only showing me the good and kind side.” Thank you. Feeling as if his heart was breaking, Han Woohyun couldn’t bear it anymore and grabbed her shoulders. The umbrella fell and rain poured down. “What if it’s all fake? I might hurt you again. The closer I get, the more I might show my bottom. Then…” Junghyo, who was quietly looking up at him who had put her in a corner while talking as if he was wandering around looking for a reason, spoke. “We’ll think about that when the time comes. For now, let’s just be happy together… And then… And then we’ll think about it. So… “ Seeing Han Woohyun lowering his head without knowing what to do, Junghyo walked closer to him. “Tell me. What are you going to do now?” Looking into Junghyo’s eyes, he found himself pulling her waist closer, burying his face in her neck as if releasing something he had been suppressing without even realizing it. Then he embraced her more strongly, locked her in his arms, and said. “I’ll be happy with you.” As soon as she heard those words, Junghyo pulled his head tightly and hugged him tightly. A childlike groan came out from Han Woohyun’s deep breath. **** “Are you really not going to eat anything?” Han Woohyun’s voice rang out in hotel room 202, but no answer came back. Junghyo, who had wrapped the large towel he had brought out around her body, was crouching in a corner of the coffee shop and just quietly looking at him. Like a cat drenched in the rain. Han Woohyun was restless in front of it, sitting and standing repeatedly. The porridge was cooling down, but Junghyo didn’t wash or eat and just sat quietly glaring at Han Woohyun. It was kind of cute to see her wrapped in a hotel towel like a big cocoon, but that wasn’t the important thing. Han Woohyun was so worried about her body. Yoojun let out a deep sigh as he saw Han Woohyun and Junghyo, drenched from the rain, entering the lounge. ‘What on earth happened while I took a short break… Oh, never mind. Let’s check on the boss’s condition first.’ Yoojun quickly seated Junghyo and activated Odin’s Eye. The guy who never activates his skills unless he’s in a raid suddenly moves on Junghyo’s case without even being asked, making Woohyun feel somewhat uneasy. He also remembers the sweet-looking photos that were posted on social media. Even so, he had no intention of stopping the S-class healer from seeing Junghyo. ‘You’re feeling much better. It’s good to have an S-class healing potion. The paladin said he would make more if I needed more, but I don’t think I need it. You might still feel a bit chilly. Because the rain hit your weakened body.’ He heard that Jan Schulz also generously poured his divine power into Junghyo. Junghyo, who was shivering as if she was cold, quickly answered. ‘There will be something to repay the Paladin. Especially with Georg Schulze.’ ‘That’s…’ Yoojun thought for a moment and nodded. Junghyo always thinks that it is natural to give one when you receive one. It doesn’t seem like she considers it a waste to offer such assistance on that matter. Is it Yoojun? Han Woohyun recalled Lee Semyung calling him. Whatever happens, Georg Schulze will receive the punishment he deserves for this incident. Certainly. I wish I could meet you first. He dared to touch Junghyo, and not only the S-Class paladin who was a guest at this hotel, but also the S-Class healer, and the S-Class craftsman… Knowing that S-Class hunters from both domestic and international areas would gather, Han Woohyun ignited his competitive spirit. Then, Junghyo said she wanted to rest. ‘I’m tired. I want to rest.’ Han Woohyun brought Junghyo back to room 202. But— Did the words “rest” really mean resting and doing nothing? “Then let’s wash up.” Junghyo shook her head, holding the towel near her neck tightly with her fingers. “Why… Why are you doing that?” “It’s troublesome.” “….?” He flinched at the words that would never come out of Junghyo’s mouth. The Junghyo he saw was doing something without stopping. Always has big or small goals and doesn’t hesitate to act accordingly. Workaholic just like the spirits of this hotel. That’s Junghyo. But it’s troublesome…? “I have no energy in my body.” “Should I bring Yoojun back? As expected, your body is still slow to recover due to the magical power…” As Han Woohyun tried to get up, Junghyo moved her body the most for the first time since returning to the hotel and grabbed the end of Han Woohyun’s sleeve. Then she narrowed her eyes and spoke to Han Woohyun. “…Where else are you going?” “….?” “You want to abandon me.” Han Woohyun was surprised at that. It was only then that he realized what Junghyo was doing sitting still like this. Punishment. When Han Woohyun realized this, he stopped sitting and standing repeatedly while holding the tray containing the porridge. Then, he went over to Junghyo, who was curled up on the single-seat sofa, and knelt down. “I’m not going anywhere.” “…” Han Woohyun bit his lip slightly as he looked at her eyes asking how she could believe that. He needed to feel some pain to avoid the mistake of laughing in this situation. As he tried to avoid revealing such a reaction, he slightly lowered his head, but then felt the tip of Junghyo’s index finger lightly tapping his cheek. Junghyo slightly lowered his head. As a result, Junghyo’s cheek touched her knee and made her cheek squish slightly. He stared at the scene in fascination for a moment, then suddenly realized that there was a wound on his cheek that had not yet healed. This was a wound caused by guild leader Han Minhyuk. ‘Do you think I just helped you make this choice?’ The guild leader quickly realized that what Han Woohyun offered in return for his favor was a breakup with Junghyo. And as soon as he realized that, he gave Han Woohyun a scratch on his face. It was a striking realization, but in truth, the power of an S-Class didn’t even manifest half of its true potential. He turned out to be unexpectedly affectionate. “…My uncle is the best.” Junghyo said with an indifferent face. Han Woohyun ended up laughing. At that moment, Junghyo’s eyes turned cold. “Huh? You’re laughing.” “….” “It looks good when you smile. As expected, people seem to shine when they become single.” “…?” Seeing Han Woohyun tilt his head, Junghyo wrapped her towel around her tighter. “That’s right. Because we broke up. You are single, and I am single too.” The moment he heard those words, his eyes trembled. “Let’s be happy together? So, I… um… us again…” It was natural for my voice to tremble. “All unhappiness originally comes from love.” Junghyo sniffled and interrupted him. Then she curled her body closer and glared at Han Woohyun. ….With eyes that dare to punish me for abandoning her. Han Woohyun unconsciously placed his hand on his knee. “I’ve kneeled down.” “I saw. You’ve been like that since earlier.” “….!” Junghyo rested her chin between her knees and quietly looked at Han Woohyun. Her lower lip seemed slightly sulky for some reason. Hello!
